LEARN TRADE.

The value of leaning a trade
becomes more and more apparent
every day. Scarcely a week
passes but some young man is
asking us to point out field OF
labor for him. With good attain
ments, perhaps, or an honest
penny may be turned, he finds
himself landing, as it were, at
the first ebb of the tide. The
slightest recession Of the water
deposits him on the shore among
the weeds Of idleness, and un-
wholesome vapors becloud his
mind. There is scarcely a man
in business but has an experince
like our own; his young friends
continually envying him the
privilege of working in a well
defined field, and wishing that,
like him they had something to
strike at.
Those young men are generally
afflicted with the disease of ambi-
ton. They want to be some
&bing more than common, and
taking often their desires for
ability to satisfy them, they
Ter themselves that they are
something better than the
ION run of humanity. Their
fault is in trying to achieve
lpd without serving an
Premiership to it, and they
ould be prepared for their life
TX, wondering what it will be,
id fretting because it does not
leclare itself, and in nine cases
Wout of ten waiting in such call,
go into politics, agencies, etc.
The great remedy for all this
is trade thoroughly learned.
The time between school and
twenty-one should be spent at
the carpenters bench, in a ma
chine shop or at an anvil, so that
when the young man commences
his battle with life in any voca-
ton he can, if worsted at his
attempt, turn to his trade with
confidence that his skilled labor
will at least procure him a living,
and perhaps competence. Time
frittered away in trying to dis
cover desirable roads to success,
foots up a considerable total on
the loss side of the balance sheet.

SUNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY.

It is unfortunate when a busy
man has loafer for a friend.
Most people will make any sac
rifce to crafty their fool streak.
1t seems perfectly natural to
some people to abuse newspa-
per.
What has become of the old
fashioned man whose breath
smelt of garlic?
1t is surprising that a mean
woman and a very good woman
can belong to the same sex.

BETTER PROTECTION FOR FISH
AND BIRDS.

SORT OF Ieellng among the farm-
ers that game and fish laws were
mostly for the benefit of the
townfolks and shooters; and feel
ing that way, we have had a
little resentment towards such
laws, and have really given them
scant respect, especially as we
saw such a general disregard Of
the law, that in order to have
our share of game or fish, we
had to get there first"
Now, my brother farmer, the
writer himself is farmer, and
has been doing some thinking
along these lines and would like
to submit to you some sugges-
tons.
The laws we have for the pro-
lection of our game and fish and
non-game birds are good, and if
enforced, would result in great
benefit to the farmer, but that
will never be done under the
present Warden System; as there
is no pay provided for the ward
ems, except moity of the fines
assessed and collected, which is
no inducement at all. 1t is like
the proposition of a man to a
friend who owned skiff that if
he would go out on the river and
catch drift-wood, he might have
half of what he caught. The
fines are not what we want. 1t
is the protection, and that we
will not have, until we have pro-
vided some means of paying for
| it.
The writer has had his prem
Uses trespassed on more than
once this season. Parties come
and fish or seine your streams
and ponds when you are away,
watching for opportunities, even
when you are at church on Sun
day. Their depredations are not
always confined to depriving you
of fish that yon have supplied at
some trouble and expense, and
killing birds of all descriptions,
but they leave gates open and
fences down, and get your stock
mixed up, if they do not shoot
some of them.
The time required to police
your own premises would make
the expense too high, and even
then you would be powerless to
enforce the law against trespass,
and if you took the law in your
own hands and made a personal
matter of it, that would bring on
trouble. So you see, we are up
against a tough proposition.
Our only remedy, it seems to me,
is to do like other States have
done, and provide, by law for a
Fish and Game Commissioner,
or Game Warden, with power to
appoint deputies in every county,
and have them paid for it. The
revenue for the purpose can be
gotten by requiring every one
who carries a. gun, to pay a
small license fee. There is al
ready a license fee of from $1O.-
90 to $500 for non-residents,

by them last winter. A large number

GIRLS RATTLE TOO
MUCH, HIS PLANT

The modern girl rattles too much,
said the peevish man fretfully.
"Rattles?" replied the woman. Too
talkative. you mean?"
No, its her bags and bangles and
things. A girl stepped into the ele
vator behind me. My first impression
was that I was pursued by skeleton
in armor. until I turned TO see. She
had three silver purses or cardcases or
vanity boxes, or whatever you call
EN- strung on her hand. and these she
jingled necessarily. With every mo-
ton Of her wrist the bracelets on her
arm also beat naturalization. 1t Is
enough to drive a quiet man crazy

woman.

What is it?" asked the man, as

the creaking of a mans shirt. Ever
hear it? It's when it's too stifly

GIRLS SIMPLY RAVE
OVER BOYS SHOES
eve Sell More to Girls Than to Boys
Says a Clerk in Mems Shoe Store.

A clerk in one of the mems shoe
stores declares that he sells more boys
shoes to girls than he does to boys.
They come in here" said he. and
ask for No. 2 or 8 in the tan buttoned
shoe, and put them on and then just
naturally rave over the effect. Now,
aren't they smart?' they cry. Did you
ever see anything so swagger?
The friend who is with them always

ALL I put in then, for at first 1 used

wrong with the leather, or didn't think
the toe was pointed enough. But if
you ladies wish to wear mans shoe I
don't see why you don't wear it just as
it is-heel and all
Wear that low, broad heel, they
scream, and I get measure and help
them decide exactly how high a heel
they want, and what shape and all
about it. And l never admit it to them,
but it's gospel truth, that when the
new heel is on you couldn't find a
much prettier shoe than that stumpy
one which was made for a boy.
How did they take to wearing boys
| shoes? sBlest If know. Perhaps they
think the leather is better in them,

TRIM YOUR NEW HAT WITH TUcKs

These home made lingerie and net
waists are such deceptive things. The
cloth itself is so cheap that the wom-
an who buys IL thinks she has robbed
the world Of a waist-untn she buys
her trimmings. Val lace at only 124s
cents yard sounds so frightfully
cheap before you count up how many
yards you must have to make any
showing at all. So the average WON
an gives the problem up in despair. and
resorts to the ready made.
Why not trim your new waist en-
tirely In tucks? There is something
so distinctive about self-trimmed gar
ment that IT quite makes up for the
lack OF elaboration. But even tucks
may produce very elaborate effect. as.
for example when applied after the
square block fashion.
Square block tucking. though ex-
tremely complicated. is really very
simple to manage. Run In the group
of tucks in the centre front OF a lin
gerie waist all the way down.
Let the next two groups OF up and
down tucks stop half way down and
the next two groups a little higher up.
This brings the fulness in pretty and
| the crossing Of the tucks Is very dec
orative.
The tucks crossing should run from
armhole to armhole. in groups OF
three or four tucks.
The same cross barred effect is made
at the top OF the sleeves and across
the back. Only on~ or two rows should
be used.

centers dotted in the tiniest dots Of

lawn squares have a narrow hem
stitched edge and a small initial in
one corner. 1t is a pretty fashion of

SKIRTS ARE PLAIN
AND LONGER NOW
Plated Garments Are Not Likely to
Remain Popular for Long Time.

Women who look far into the fash
ion future won't burden thems elves
with many new plated skirts" said
a woman just over from Paris, Skirts
are changing, and very rapidly, too"
she said. This change will be most
remarked in the walking skirt, which
for so many seasons has been modelled
persistently on the plated style with
little or no variation other than in
the grouping of the plaits and the
width of the bias bands.
Now it is the circular and ciruclar
gored that comes to usurp its place.
and we may confidently look for great
er variety in the way of trimming. al
though just at present there is a strik-
ing tendency to keep the skirt as plain
as possible in order to emprasize the
cool design which is always novel.
skirts are longer. too and walk
ing length barely escapes the floor.
while for a costume inclined at all TO
formality the skirt Is long and trail
ing
Upon one point. however, the
American woman is firm. No matter
what the color, texture. or general
change of style. as fashion may die
tate it. she Will keep TO the tailored
effect. which suits her so we'll and
which she alone knows how to adapt
