In connection withthe canons of 90ml taste which come to the home decorator only with careful study and an instinct for harmony of things and colors. the following are worth considering: Pictures should never be bought because they are pretty. If “don‘ts” simply they mean nothing to the buyer they will mean nothing to the home. Among the best pictures to buy are those that add to the, dignity, repose, ctulture and refinement of the homes, are copies of great masters. in brown, black and white. or delicate tints; colored photographs of spots of in- terest in our own or foreign countries and gm:»<l prints of the photographs of men and women of art, music or let- ters. whose productions are beloved by members of the family. Choose the frame and your pictures wisely, for the stranger beneath your roof often judges your culture and intellectuulity by these silent picture friends you have gathered about your- self. Don't hang all the pictures at the same height. If there happens to be three similar in subject and two or the same size and framed almost alike. they can be hung one over the other with the vt-ry best of effect. A picture is often made to lrok more artistic if a small round picture is placed each side of it. Sometimes a good effect is obtained by grouping three small round framed pictures triangularly just above the square frame. Don't hang photographs of your friends in the parlor or in the hall. On the mantel of the sitting room one may place a phctograph or two, but the place for thesr: is in the sleeping room of the person who most prizes them. " 'â€"â€"‘â€"-__â€"__.__â€"_â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"- i$$$ YOU MAY BE DIFFERENT. The really well dressed girl of to day does not rely upon current fash- ion magazines for suggestions as to her attire. She goes farther back than that. and , old portraits are scanned indefatigably for some ef- fective touch which can be adopted by her. Consistency is not the aim of this stretch of sartorial tradi- tion. She is perfectly willing to combine the ruff of the Elizabethan period with the coat that Robes- pierre wore. She is shocked by no such incongeniality as is indicated by wearing Greek tunic with a Mik- ado wrap. In brief, the fashionable girl of the present year strives to be different from her neighbor, n0 mat- ter how piebald is the result. For the passion to be different has swamped even our proverbial obseq- uiousness to the mode 3‘ the mom- ent, and in order to be so one must study all the fripperies and furbelows of all lands, and of all countries. I t O O ‘ THE ODDS AND ENDS. How many times in the course of the week does one dress hurriedly to meet an engagement and find a shirt- waist with a button missing; anoth. er with a rip in the sleeve; gloves that shoes that are in need of polishing -" Experience has proved that the last minute is not the best one for the supplying of these demands. How many times during a single day does it come over one with a qualm of conscience that Mrs. Jones" invitation has not been answered: that one had intended to send flow- ers to Mrs. Brown on her birthday; that the silk waist should have been sent to the cleaners the day before it were to be in readiness for the party that is coming next week? There must always be a system by which one’s mountains of troubles can be properly taken care of and all agitation and wear on the ner- system be done away with. Set aside thirty minutes for repair- ing of wardrobe and thirty minutes for miscellaneous affairs each day. Make a list of all articles of wear- ing apparelâ€"gowns, stockings, gloves hose ,etc., and each day by looking it over you will find where to put the “stitch in time that saves nine.” During the day jot down the little things you are liable to forget. When the thirty minutes of miscellaneous worrisomes. glance at this list an'l that will be all that is necessary. By a system you will always find your wardrobe in repair and in- portant duties promptly- and easily attended to. i O O I HOUSEHOLD GLEANINGS. When a dress or fine white waist has turned yellow, put it in a stone jar, cover with buttermilk and let it stand a day and a night. Then wash well and starch with blue starch. This is better to whiten goods than freezing, sunshine or the use of borux. * $ t 0 Our grandmothers-3 idea of scenting bed linen with lavender was not alone to please the senses of the person who slept. between the sheets.

When you want to wear a shields. all you have to do is to “snap" them in place. It is as quick~ ly and easily done as fastening your glove. They stay as firmly as though sewed, and they do not rust or tear out as when pinned. Always get your shields of one size, so that any pair of shields will fit any corset cover. After you have the dress snaps once sewed in, your trouble of changing It will take little shields is ended. fresh more time than getting a handkerchief. _________.â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"_ STRIKERS IN TROUBLE. A number of men who have been working on .a stone crusher at Oak- wood, it is learned, struck for high- er wages the other day, but two of their number decided not to quit work and kept on with the stone crusher. The strikers did not like this and tried to intimidate the ‘scabs’ to quit, and as a result will appear before Magistrate Moore at Oakwood on charges of disordely con- duct. To RETURN 1" AUGUST. ', .

The plan which will let little or nothing go to waste, without at the same time utilizing too much of the other products of the fields in any ir- rational preponderance in any one line. is always best. Hogs are a factor of economy on any farm, for where cows ‘ are kept there will be some milk prO- ducts which, if fed to hogs, would make a return in pork. Much waste from every house could well be used, and made to return something in the. same way. There is, besides, a consid-1 erable quantity of grains, of a rough. inferior character. which the hog will, readily eat, and which will be good for 1 him. that would neither sell nor prove ‘ of profit in feeding to other kinds of stock. The same is true of sheep. It* will pick a good share of its entire living where the food would otherwise: go completely to waste.

But it does not strike quickly. The time must elapse until the young stock is bred, raised, fitted, and ready for market. Just when it is getting ready, prices are at their highest. And just when they are ready to sell, down comes the price with a crash. All that he has banked upon in the shape of profit is gone, gone to someone else, when he thought it just within his grasp. Yet the heavy expenditure of getting it ready for the market made the in- creased income to a greater extent necessary. for the producer depended undertaken. The lesson should be a plain one to read, although it has had more than one kind of interpretation. Many have made it the pretext for the encour- agement of a sort of “scattered" farm- ing.
