One necessity IL to study the silhouette
which can only be done before a full
length mirror where every angle is shown.
Many so-called well dressed women
content themselves with the views they
get of their frocks in glass which only
SHOWS half the figure or in the plate glass
windows of stores as they promenade
With these scant impressions and the
knowledge that their dresses are firmly
fastened in the back they believe them
selves perfectly gowned. the truth being
that they do not know whether they are
ar not not having seen the picture in its
entirety.
There is more ignorance shown in re-
gard to the silhouette than in any other
branch OF this work. il is stated. and
that a woman who il accust omed to see
herself only full face does not realize
that TO the world generally she turns her
profile or three-quarters view. and that
she must remember this in remembering
she does not dress for herself alone.
While the class in artistic costuming
is a part Of the fine arts curriculum il is

The Doukhobor settlement at
Waterloo is fast forging to the front.
The members OF the colony are active
ly engaged in varied pursuits for the
gaining of livelihood. the COM
munistic principle prevailing. Over
the settlement is Peter Veregin, head
OF the Doukhobor society, his local
agent being John Sherbinin. In this
settlement there are l, 100 Doukho-
bors. Waterloo is a veritable garden
and the great ranch is considered by
experts to be almost perfect. They
are clearing 1900 acres of land, to
be planted at once in an immense or
chard of all kinds of fruits, large and
small. The settlement is fulfilling q
contract with the C. P. R. for 100, 900
railway ties. They possess three port
able sawmills, and are now negot;at-
ing for fourth. They have a ferry
across the river at Waterloo, also
one this side of Castlegar and are
erecting one still further up the river.
In addition to the above they are
building a bridge which connects
with a private road leading to Pass
Creek, where they own 1000 acres of
land. Where the road intercepts the
bridge, they are going to erect a
large store for the purpose of sup
plying their colony as we'll as the
public.

OF all the dispositions and habits

religion and morality are indispensa-
BILE supports. In vain would that
man claim the tribute of patriotism
who should labor to subvert these
great pillars of human happiness,
these tirmest props of the duties Of
men and citizens. The mere politi-
clan, equally with the pious man,
ought to respect and cherish them.
A volume could not trace all their

where is the security for property.
for reputation, for life, if the sense of
religious obligation desert the oaths
which are the instruments of investi-
cation in courts of justice? And let
us with caution indulge the supposi-
ton that morality can be maintained
without religion. Whatever may be
conceded to the influence of refined
education on minds of peculiar struc-
ture, reason and experience both for

ity can prevail in exclusion OF relig-

Too Good to Our Neifhbors.
Fall River MASS \ News.


Some time since we. commented on
the absurdity of denying to our own
people what we grant to our neigh.
bors over the seas in way of postal
privileges. We carry their mail
under an international agreement
cheaper than we carry for our own
people. A new instance OF this in
|congruity is to be seen in the fact
that President Taft has just ratified
a parcels post arrangement with
Austria Hungary, according to which
the people OF that country can send
to any part of our country packages
up to eleven pounds in weight at the
rate OF II cents pound. But if a
Fall River man wanted to send such
q package to Dighton or Taunton it
could weigh no more than four pounds
and the charge on that would be Is
cents pound. There is a great ab-
surdity in the refusal to do for our
own people what we do for the peo-
pie of foreign countries. Why a ma
tion supposed to be businesslike tol-
crates such discrimination against
itself, is strange indee d-if we are to
have parcels post arrangem ents with
other nations we should have do
mestic parcels post at as favorable
rates. That we ought to have in

A few chorus girls from the Bon

the girls who are termed hashers and

lazy and affected to-work, if you
please, when their stomach Graves

rus girls like to eat at times. but in

From political standpoint Wash
ington State should dump Gov. Hay
in the pool OF political oblivion.
What this State needs is Governor
who is broad-minded man; can see
the needs of the people and advocate
laws that will benefit them. This
State does not want Hay as Cover
nor. He has been tried and found to
be poor leather" His rightful job
is separating sugar from the sand;
picking the bits of stone from
amongst the currants; seeing that
the clerk does not pour the syrup Or
dered, into the same measure used
for coal-oil; see that the matches are
kept in dry place, and a dampened
sponge is-placed in the cigar case;
see that the clerk tries to make the
purchaser take some other brand of
sterilized milk when Carnation is
asked for, and so forth and so on.
Washington State has had plenty
OF Hay government-coarse, swail,
tasteless, grass, at that-and 1t is
high time, indeed, the people elect
some man as Governor who has the
actual attributes and qualifications
brains-to conduct the affairs of
such a distinguished Office and posi-.
ton, as Governor of the State of
Washington.

New York Herald.

What is day? In the sense in
which the word is commonly used,
day" includes the period of light
as distinguished from that OF dark
ness. This period of light to people
in the middle States means merely
certain number of hours out of the
"a, but it may mean any length OF
time under six months, according to
the latitude of the observer and the
season of the year.
Another p'pIla' meaning is the
space OF "a hours. including period
of light and a period of darkness.
This, again, is not the same all the
world over, as the time of commence
ment and termination vary in diff
ferent countries; some reckon from
sunset to sunset, some from dawn to
dawn. while modern civilized nations
count from midnight to midnight.
The sue ession OF day and night
depends Oh the rotation of the Earth
on its axis; since the Earth is of a
glObular shape, it is evident that the
whole of its surface can not be turned
toward the sun at once and the same
moment. In other words, it can not
be noon all over the Earth at
precisely the same time. A little
thought will show that whenever it
is noon at any one place it is mid
night on the opposite side of the
Earth; and at the different points
between all the times of day are al
the same moment to be found.

Wanted No Resurrection.

De Wolf Hopper, the eminent
comedian, in speaking of the Prohi-

agreed with the old planter of be-
fore the war time, who was blown up
in a steamboat accident on the Mis-
sissippi. They fished him out un-
conscious. At the end of an hour $
manipulation he came to.
Where am I?'' he asked, lifting
his head feebly.
"Safe on shore" the doctor told
him.
(which side of the river?" he in
quired.
The Iowa side," the doctor re-
piled.
The planter frowned. He looked
at the tlrpid, yellow stream. Then
he said.

bition State. Chuck in again.

HINTS FOR THE FARM.

Take time to tighten loose burrs
or bolts in your vehicles or imple-
ment. 1t may save wreck.
To get at the bottom of things, to
do away with guess work; that is
the mission of scientific farming.
All shrubs that have done bloom
ing should be pruned at once. This
induces blooming buds and branches
for next years crop.
You can rid your place of thistles
if you watch them carefully for a few
years and see that they are destroyed
before they go to seed
You may get one idea at your
State or County fair this year that
will be worth more to you in dollars
and cents than the cost of the trip
several times over.
Good roads are to farming COM
munity what paving is to city pro-
perty that adjoins it. 1t makes busi-
ness for that community and in
creases land values.
An effective lice-killer for poultry
can be made by dissOlving in kero-
sene oil all of the moth balls it will
dissolve. Add little carbolic acid.
Apply with a brush.
Do not allow stagnant water to
stand around the place, as it breeds
mosquitoes. This can be prevented
by sprinkling the surface once
week with kerosene.
Land that is too wet for crops and
not easily drained should be plowed
in very dry time, thoroughly har.
rowed and seeded to red top (herd's-
grass and alsike clover.
A.good way to handle new rope is
to put it in q kettle of cold water
and bring it to boil for about ten
minutes. The rope will become soft
ard pliaole and will not kink.
These hot days the scorching sun
will play havoc with any implements
or vehicles, especially the buggy or
wagon. which happens not to be in a
good shed or under dense shade.
1t is said that skunk or two about
the cribs and barn make rats and
mice scarce. They are better than
cats, for they can 60 along the aver
age rat-hole. This refers to the small
species of skunk.
A good cultivation during dry
spell is as good as a rain storm, for
it puts mulch upon the top which
keeps the moisture in the soil from
evaporating and makes it more avail
able for the plants.
Clean up the fence rows, sides OF
bitches and the uncnltivated COR
ners. 1t not only improves the
looks of the premises. but it will
help to keep the weeds and grass
out of the cultivated areas.
