This amount the young man must

nothing can be lost, for the land is

A Shame to Spend the Money.

"Pianissimo, pianissimo," said the
vocal teacher to the student, your
voice is too loud Learn to shade your
tones"
And the student worked hard to
carry out instructions.
When she went to her next lesson
the teacher said: "Better-but still
too loud. Try again--you will get it
after a while"
Again the student returned to her
room and tried for a softer tone. Again
the teacher told her 1t was still too
loud.
Now William, the colored butler,
without whom the house would never
have gone on properly, had heard and
wondered at this gradual diminishing
of tone 1t did seem a shame to spend

First Owners of Furs.

Women who expect to buy furs this

what the animal looked like that were
their fur coats and muffs before the
furs were made over for them.
The recent warnings against imita
ton furs have made them particular.
ly curious. Somehow they imagine
that by comparing the fur of live
lynx with cat or rabbit they will
be able to detect the difference in dyed
furs. OF course they won't, but any
how this little excursion into natural
history will do them no harm.
Women with caracul coats are the
most persistent Investigators, Very
few people except furriers know what
kind of an animal caracul grows on

sheep that produce real caracul and
the Chinese sheep that cheap wool
that is sold for caracul grows on have

Sweet red peppers are an improve

other entrees. Some persons use
them with the canned corn which one
must go back to for the winter The
peppers should be Invested of their

not need long cooking. Some persons
who use them in salads shred them

to the Small idea as follows:

Mixed on His Melody.

A well-known newspaper that boasts
the authority and the excellence of its
dramatic and musical criticism pub
lished recently a criticism of certain
charming light opera. The dramatic
editor was lavish in his praise of songs
and singers, remarking, with digni-
fed reminder to his readers that 1t
was his business to pass judgment not
unmixed with censure, that the plot
was slightly unconvincing.
OF the music however, he wrote in
terms of highest commentator. And
he closed his article with praise for
the charming entr'actes.
The typesetter got free with the
copy, however, or there was mistake
made by the printers devil" At any
rate, this is what appeared as the
closing sentence of really mastery
piece OF criticism:
Last nights music between the acts
was unusually melodious."

ence to the history OF those breeds.
In continental Europe these cattle and
their offshoots have stamped their
impress in every direction and are
found In more countries, occupying
greater territory, and producing more
milk, butter and cheese than all the
cattle of other breeds combined.
This breed has spread from Its place
of origin far eastward, even to Rus

circle. 1t Is represented by a breed
called Kolmogorian, which is the most
highly valued in its section. South
Africa, Australia, New Zealand and
indeed most sections of the world
where dairying is done, have substan-
tial representations of the Holsteins,
and in their purity, too. Quarantine
laws appear to be responsible for their
absence in any large number in Eng

prepotency; and l believe that 1t Is
more satisfactory to the average in

and as breeding cattle, than to depend
