Perhaps that's why Harris
on Fisher, for more than ten
years now, has found it pos
sible to draw a beautiful girl
each mouth for the cover Of
Cosmopolitan, without ever
once having two of them look
alike.
Fisher draws from living
models. He has often used
the same model more than
once-but the result is never
the same, because, like all
great artists. he draws, not
the model herself, but the pic
ture she suggests to him.

LEARN A TRADE.

The value of learning a trade
becomes more and more appar.
ent every day. Scarcely week
passes but some young man is
asking us to point out field OF
labor for him. With good at
tainments, perhaps, or an insat-
liable desire to be at work al
something whereby an honest
penny may be turned, he finds
himself landed, as it were, al
the first cbb of the tide. The
slightest recession of the water
deposits him TO the shore among
the weeds of idlencss, and un-
wholesome vapors bccloud his
mind. There is scarcely a man
in business but has an exper-
fence like our own; his young
friends continually cnvying him
the privilege of working in a
well defined field, and wishing
that, like him, they had some
thing to strike at.
These young men are gencr-
ally afflicted with the disease
of ambition. They want to be
something more than common,
and mistaking often their de-
sires for ability to satisfy them,
they flatter themselves that they
arc fit for something better than
the common run of humanity.
Their great fault is trying to
achieve manhood without serv-
ing an apprenticeship to it, and
they find themselves, when they
should be prepared for their
lifework, wondering what it will
be, and fretting because it does
not declare itself, and in nine
cases out of ten waiting in vain
for such a call, they go into
politics, agencies, etc.
The great remedy for all tins
is trade thoroughly learned.
The time between school and
twenty-one should be spent at
the carpenters bench, in a ma
chine shop or at an anvil, SO
that when the young man COM
mences his battle with life in
any vocation he can, if worstcd
at his first attempts, turn to his
trade with confidence that his
skilled labor will at least pro-
cure him a living, and perhaps
a competence. Time frittered
away in trying to discover de-
sirable roads to success, foots
up a considerable total on the |
oss side of the balance sheet.

PURE SEED

Farmers are being urged by agricultural experts to take the greatest care in selections of seeds. In many places associ- atiens are being formed for the testing and certifying of seeds, so that farmers can be sure that they are getting the very best quality.
 When so very much de- pends upon getting the high est quality of seed git seems poor policy to stint in expense at this point in the game. When poor seeds are planted a large part of the labor and expense of cultivation and harvest is thrown away. A little more money and effort put into getting the best qual- ity of seed at the start, would make all the subsequent ex- penditure more fruitful, and pay many times over,
