A Woman's Duty.

The woman of taste keeps abreast
of the fashions in a way-that is, she
drops wornout styles and adopts what
ever new ones she can adapt to her
use. If she can afford it she patron
ICES irst-class dressmakers and gets
her moneys worth by wearing her
clothes two or three seasons without
losing her prestige as a well-dressedI
woman. There is an advantage in
this method, as you can see, and
have been told by women who use
1t that there is economy as we'll .
1t is no economy to save at the ex-
pense of good looks. 1t is a woman's
duty to look her best, duty she owes
to her family. If she can secure it
by small expenditure, so much the
better, but to save by accepting shah
biness is not creditable save in dire
stress of circumstances. Poverty is
an excuse for shabbiness and nothing
else is accepted by the world, save in
the rare cases of shabby millionaires.

Kansas Apples Diseased.

A fungous growth, known as the APP
pie scab, is doing considerable dam
age to the apple crop of Kansas. The
scab is seldom prevalent in the Kan
sas orchards except during seasons of
exceptionally wet weather. This year
the scab is found in more orchards
and is doing more damage than ever
before The spores falling on the ap-
pies form light brown scab. The
apple shrivels and later falls off, long
before it is matured. The fungus also
causes the trees to stop growing, al
though it does not kill them. The
only remedy known is the use of Bor-
deaux mixture.

Dogs and Sheep.

According to Secretary Coburn
there are something like 1,5OO per
cent more dogs than there are sheep
In the state. In one county there are
four sheep and 3.145 dogs; in another
one sheep and 1,636 dogs; in a third
two sheep and 2,790 dogs; in still an
other one sheep and 1,211 dogs. If
sheep snapped at women and children,
says the Manhattan Mercury, and dug
up the neighbors' flower beds and
stole meat off the neighbor's back
porches and fought and barked in the
daytime and kept the neighbors awake
by bowling at night, and if, instead of
producing a handsome profit, it was
necessary to pay tax of S1-25 a year
per head for the privilege of keeping
them, there would probably be no
more sheep in the state than there
are now; but why this dissemination
against sheep?
