King Edward as m Farmer

The rich crop of prizes which the
kings cattle and sheep have won at
the Bingley Hall show, Birmingham. is
the latest demonstration of his success
as farmer, of which he is 50 deserved
ly proud.
When the king began breeding nearly
forty years ago the Sandringham farm
lands were in an almost hopeless con-
dition, barren and barely capable OF
cultivation. To-day, according to Rider
Haggard, 1T is a wonderful farm, for
nowhere is so much high-bred stock to
be seen on the same area"
But probably nowhere will you fiud
such an array Of plates and cups won
at shows as that which Sandringham
boasts. At a single exhibition the king
once won no fewer than fourteen first
prizes. In 1903 he captured five first
prizes and cups, in addition to numer-
GUS seconds and thirds; in 1904 his
prizes numbered twenty, in 1905 he won
a champion plate, challenge cup and
eighteen other prizes, including four
flrsts while last year be took at the
Smithfield show ten firsts, nine breed
cups and plates, six other prizes and
several highly commendeds," and eY.

As To Length of Skirts.

Skirts are longer. For all but the
typical walking suits they are very long
and sweeping, while the street suits
have taken on another inch and just
escape the ground. This rule will apply
to the wash materials, and wash ma
terials are going to prevail to an eX-
tent not known for many seasons
Frocks of this order will be made up in
the same semi-tailored style as rules
other fabrics at present. If anything,
the skirts will be more deliberately trim
med, but always in such a way as to
lose none of that semi-tailored appear
ance. For this reason frills are Ia
booed, or when used are fattened by
cross strips and landings. Fer linen
suits which will hold first place among
washable materials colored trimmings
will be popular.

woman,s Mistaken Ambition

The main trouble with people in gen.
eral, and the greatest cause Of unhap-
plness and crime, is lack of sense.
Gus; they see things wrongly. They
are incapable of the trust imposed upon
them-that of doing the best they can
with the given means.
Men have not sense enough to see
that in making their wives happy they
make themselves happy, and women's
minds can not grasp the fact that in
improving their own minds and char
acters they are insuring themselves a
truer satisfaction than in trying to
keep up with the style Of the neigh
bors.
| am a strong believer in the doc
trine that we get what we go after in
the world. if we go after it in the
right way. Women have been going
after their rights in the wrong way.
There is not, and can not be, any,
where, in any sphere of life, a better
or happier position for a woman than
to be the wife of good, sensible, kind
man. That such men do not grow upon
trees it is needless to state, and unfor-
tunately the few who are possessed of
line character are often joined to light
minded women incapable of appreciat-
ing them.
L am, generally speaking, opposed to
women in business. I think her pres
ence there is detriment to society. Her
natural sphere is in the home. And it
IS in the home that she is so badly
needed.
There is just now crying need for
the old-fashioned home atmosphere that
was part of the early civilization of
our country Women need to turn back
to the domestic pursuits that made
their grandmothers such a power in
the land. They need to give I'D the
frivolous turn they have lately taken.
The highest ambition of a majority
OF our women at present is to be regr1-
lar society women. This is a very DOOR

NEWS OF MINOR NOTE.

In a jail at Calcutta, India, a number
of imprisoned revolutionists killed one of
their comrades who had turned against

bellion.

short distance from London, the wife of

BARBERRIES.

In scarlet clusters Ger the gray stone wall
The barberries lean in thin autumnal
air.
Just when the fields and garden-plots
are bare,
And ere the green leaf takes the tint of
fall,
They come to make the eye festival!
Along the road, for miles, their torches
flare,
All, if your deep-sea coral were but rare
(The damask rose might envy it withal)
What bards had sung your praises long
ago,
Called you fine names in honey-worded
books
The rosy tramps of turnpike and of
lane,
September's bushes Ceres lips aglow,
Little d-Ridinghoods, for your sweet
looks
But your plebeian beauty is in vain.

The first suggestion is to preserve the
height and also maintain breadth.
As short skirts tend to take away
the height, skirts should be as long as
possible.
Slender women should wear princess
and empire models, as height is reck-
oned by the length from the waist line.
For street wear the plated skirt I'M
trimmed is very much the best choice.
With this the coat must be either
short or very long, as a three-quarter
length will not be becoming.
Black hats should not be worn, for
when-a black hat is worn the height
seems to stop at the face.
This may be avoided by wearing a
touch of white on the hat. SO that the
eye may be carried beyond the face
Trimming on her dresses should be
arranged Iengthwise when it is of con-
trasting figure.
A stylish arrangement by which the
hips of the slight woman are brought
into prominence is to commence the
trimming below the hips.
The large hat will seriously detract
from the height of the small woman
and she should for this reason select
snail or medium-sized one

New UndercIothes.

Combination underclothes are be-
coming more and more the rage. AL
most all the corset covers and petit
coats that one sees for sale are fast
ened together around the waistlne
Both bodice and skirt are made on the
circular pattern, so that there is as
little fullness as possible around the
waist and hips, and they are joined to-
gether by beading through which rib
bon is run. 1t is a very attractive
looking garment for negligee, but it is
far more trouble to keep them both
clean and fresh than it is to care for
only one piece at time. The reason
for the innovation was, of course, the
return of the Empire gown, but the
Princess slip of lace and nainsook is a
far more becoming gown to the figure
than is the combination.

and low ideal, but it chimes in with our
modern doctrine of cutting a figure in

idea that was ever drilled into the
heads of young people by enthusiastic

poor little wretch was dirty to the last
degree.

stripped the baby, put him into a hot
bath, and, when his breathing seemed
easier, she wrapped him in warm, clean
flannels belonging to her own children,
rubbed his chest with goose grease,

The little pappoose slept until near

and Selling his axe, Mr.. Joiner started
for the forest, on the edge OF which
stood his little home, far down in the
southern part of Alabama.
Bobby ran after him shouting: Pa
pa, papa, let me go wifi you. I'll be a
good boy"
Come along them" answered his IA
Their, but hurry now, I'm very late"
And of they went, Bobby carrying his
toy Ratchet over his shoulder as his
father carried his axe.
Bobby played about happily for a
long time, now trying to cut down lit
tie trees with his Ratchet, now hunt
Ing for Wild grapes, and now peering
into holes after rabbits; but at last,
growing tired-for he was only four
years old-he said:
Papa, | reckon I'll go home now to

I'll carry her some fat lightwood TO

arms with small sticks of pitch pine,
Bobby started of.
His father watched him moment !;
but. seeing that he was In the right
path to the house, he went enfwith his
work until the horn called him home
TO dinner. Kitty ran to meet him, but
Bobby was nowhere to be seen.
A few questions and answers told
the father that he had not been home,
and, without waiting for his dinner,
he turned back into the forest. He
soon reached the spot where he had
last seen the child as he trudged to-
ward home, and he began search
among the trees on either side After
a time he discovered the tiny armful
of Iixhtwood which Bobby was carry
ing home to his mother flung on the
ground, evidently by an older hand and
longer arm than Bobby's; but no other
track or trace could he find. The
ground all about was covered thickly
with soft pine needles, which would
not only deaden the sound of footsteps.
but would make no impression of
them. He kept up the search, how
ever, until darkness came upon him,
when he returned home hastily snatch
ed little food, and started. for the
home of his nearest neighhor to OBJ
tain help in his search.
Days and weeks passed. Neighbors
and friends for miles around had
hunted for the lost boy, but could find
not even clue to his whereabouts,
and hope of ever seeing him again was
well-nigh abandoned. Cold weather was
close at hand, and Mr. Joiner had gone
to his wood-chopping.
Mrs. Joiner was busy in the kitchen
one forenoon when shadow darkened

The Clever Woman

A clever woman, as a wife, is a wOm-
an who is skilled in the conduct of fife,
in the control of the household, and,
above all, in the management of her
husband, says William T. Stead in the
DelineatOr. A woman who could
neither read nor write would be a bad
wife for any ordinary man in CIV
iliZed community; but such an litter
ate woman, if she were clever in all
the arts of domestic economy, in the
rearing of children, and in being at
once the inspiration and comfort of her
husband, would be clever enough for
the cleyerest man in existence, and in
fnitely preferable to the cleverest wom-
an in book-learning that has ever been
turned out by university.
