Grown folk often experience some
difficulty In separating necessary from
unnecessary mistakes and blunders,
but the childish mind usually is pref
ty clear on such points. Little Bob,
for instance. was consuming orange
juice with noisy gusto when his
mother thought best to gently reprove
him.

really no reason why you should do
so. I'm sure you can help it II you

Ermlne at the Coronation.

The finest ermine skins come from
the continent. Those from America
are not nearly 30 hne in quality. The
former skins have been principally
used by the best West end houses, but
a good many skins come In from Amer.
lea. and a good number Of these have
undoubtedly been used for conora-
ton robes.
The statement from st. Louis that
100000 skins were used for the car
Of Russia's cloak caused much amuse-
ment, and is regarded by the trade
here as an example of American hui.
NOR. When we come to think of It,
a quarter million skins does seem a
bit tall, considering that at the March
sales in London, which are the big.
gest Of the year, only 10000 skins
were offered. These fetched as high
as $40 shillings a timber, which is 40
skins, while the average price was
round about $50 shillings.-London

WHY THE VALISE WAS HEAVY
Mrs. BlIllngsIy Was Taking Her New
Flatlrons to the Country Sum-
mer Resort.

The Billingslys were starting for
summer outing in the country, expect
ing to be away from home a week or
two. The trunk had been sent to the
railway station, few blocks distant,
and nothing remained but to close the
house and walk thither. Mr.. Billings
ly, the last one to leave the front door,
picked up the hand baggage and fol-
lowed the rest of the family down the
steps. One of the two valises he was
carrying seemed tremendously heavy,
and before he had walked a block he
stopped, set 1t down on the sidewalk
and turned to his wife. For the
lands sake, Fidelio," he said, mop
ping the perspiration from his brow,
what have you got in this gripsack?
The family silver?" Nothing OF the
SORT, Hiram" she answered. That's
hidden where nobody can find It."
Then what makes this thing so
heavy? 1t weighs a toni" I'm TAX

Old Connecticut Elm Destroyed.

The ancient elm tnee, an old land
mark that has stood on the banks Of
Middle Cove Bay for over two hun
bred years, was blown down during
the storm of Monday and fell into the
cove. All that is left of it are the
large roots, sticking UP TO show
where the old tree was once located.
After heavy gale several years ago
one large limb fell to the ground and
from it were taken Indian arrow heads
of perfect shape. They were proba-
bly, shot or deposited there by Indians
years ago, who used this locality for a
camping ground. The height Of the
tree was about one hundred feet and
its branches spread out about the
same distance. The body of the tree
measured some fifteen feet around.
Red squirrels had made their home in
1t for years.-Essex correspondence

VARIETY SECRET OF CHARM
This Explains Why Our American
Women Are so Attractive to
Foreign Visitors.

Foreigners are impressed by the
peculiar attractlveness of American
women" writes Grace M. Gould in
the Woman's Home Companion. They
say that, next to their own women, Il
Is the American woman who charms
the most.
Now why is this so?"
ut Is because of the Infinite variety
Of the American woman, which
pleases the eye and holds the imagina-
ton. When any large number Of
women are under observation. attract
iveness must imply constant change.
for human nature. soon wearies Of
what is monotonous. II the 6rst, last
and every woman that the foreigner
saw all looked and dressed alike, the
first might well be the last, for any
interest he might feel In them.
His experience Is this: He meets
the tall and stately wife Of his club
friend. whose poise and elegance are
her conspicuous characteristics; next,
he takes In to dinner a fluffy, confid-
ing young creature without any poise
at all. Later, perhaps, he meets q
blue-stocking girl, who looks at him
critically through her lorgnette; and
from her he turns to a demure,
mouse-like maiden. whose infreQusnt
gaze Is soulful and who says little,
but who says 1t so intensely. The
Irritation girl and the athletic girl
come In their turn, and he finds It all
exhausting and bewilderins.
yet he remembers distinctly each
one of those American types, because
each one, by her dress and her man
ners, has emphasized her own iden.
