Artistic taste is due to temperament, and where this exists the simplest ma terials lend themselves to artistic combinations and beautiful effects. The French excel in dainty, graceful deslgna because of their volatile, mirth lovins temperaments. The Germans can never reach these heights because their temperaments are just the re verse, while It has been proved in sev eral workrooms that, next to the French, the Irish temperament Is the most artistic. The more artistic the general train ing of a person the more ready are they to appreciate and profit by the fine productions of others; hence we are glad to see and grateful for the privilege of studying the "models" brought from Paris each season by the enterprising importers. Twenty-five years ago In Paris and London the houses that catered to America and the colonies put aside for their trade any designs that wf? ton extreme or "screaming" for the fast.'dJonj home buyers, says the Millinery Trade Review. But times have changed. and the American woman is now con sidered the best dressed In the world, and the leaders of American society are the women who dictate quite as muck as the elite of France.

Will II. Hale. T News of f As he laid aside the batch of letters, Grandfather Ilildltch sighed. "Here, Janie, don't you want to read them?" he asked the young girl, who sat at his feet reading her own mall. "The weekly budget from the uncles and aunts? We are a methodical fam ily, aren't weV Your children are faith ful about these Monday letters, aren't they, grandpa? I know that every Sunday father reminds mother to write. He isn't much of a hand at letters, but he certainly wants you to hear from us, and mother has so much time." "Yes, the children are all good about writing. It is a habit they learned when they were away at school," re plied grandfather, and again be sighed almost Imperceptibly. Janet looked at him curiously, and then began with the letters. She read ;lhem through, and then read them again. There was one from her own mother, hoping that Father Hilditch was quite well, and that Janet's visit of a week would not prove troublesome to him. She concluded with the information that all were well, that the weather was unsettled in Atlanta, and that there was no news of Interest. There was a six-line note frora Uncle Sam, stating that it was rainy Irj Jack sonville, and the mosquitoes tstill bad. but that all were well. No other news of interest. Aunt Isabel wrote briefly that she was suffering from a cold, that they were having lovely weather in Asheville. and that. nothing worth mention had transpired since her last. Uncle Tom's letter was comprised within a very few typewritten sen tences, hoping that his father was well and comfortable, and requesting to be notified at once should there be anything to the contrary. He added that his family was well, and taking advantage of the fine autumn weather to make a little cruise with some friends on their yacht. There was nothing else worth telling, except what father had already seen In the newspapers. "Grandfather!" Janet sat up very straight, after a few moments of deep consideration. I wonder what people think they mean when they say, 'No news of interest?" MEh?" He laid down the paper and regarded her over his glasses. "News, you say, honey?" "Yes, news. These letters seem to have so little In them." "Oh, yes, yes. Except for the dates, they are pretty much the same every week, but I am so thankful to hear from the children, and to know that they think enough of me not to neglect to write on tho appointed day. I have good children and good grandchildren. too." He smiled at her. "I tell you, it pleased me mightily that my young lady granddaughter should come to the old place In the country In her round of visits, when the other placs are all so gay and lively for young folks." "I think It is lovely here." replied Janet, absently: and then, returning to the sublect of the letters. "Do you write every week to the others, as you do to us at home?" "Oh, yes. Indeed," said grandfather; and then he proceeded to look over the death notices in his paper. Janet sat with folded hands, trying to remember just what was in those thiu letters that came weekly to her home, in their ready-stamped envelopes. It bad been a good while since she had even taken the trouble to glance over one of them, and she knew how careless the others of her family were. Oir ruesdajs her father would ask at dinner, "Hear from father this morning?" "Yes, he is quite well," her mother would answer. 44There was nothing else of any importance." And yet Janet recalled that the homely epistles '1 told of the thriving and garnering of crops on the old farm, of neighborhood happenings, of the housekeeper's tribulations with her feathered flocks, and of the outlook for the cattle and swine little things, that made up so much tf life to the lonely old man, who preferred the Independence of (his own vine and fig-tree to a place In his chiliren's homes. "And these didn't tell , him a single thing!" said Janet Indignantly to herself, and wondered why. A mischievous little twinkle crept beneath her lowered lids after she had pondered a while. "Grandfather," she exclaimed, suddenly, "I am gohig to stay four weeks with .you. instead of one!" "So? You think you can stand the country that long?" He put his hand softly on her head. Til love It, if only you will let me feel that I am helping you." "Helping ni little daughter? Why, rf course. Yo-.i shall do anything you like you can drive me round the farm and read to me In the evenings." "And I want to le your secretary, too. See how your hand shakes. Let me do all your writing farm accounts and all." . 44To be sure, to be sure." "Well, then, this is your day to answer these letters. Tell me just what to say to them all." Grandfather hesitated, and Janet looked away. She knew well that she was asking him to gie up one o his greatest pleasures. "Why, let them know that I am well, and tell them the news about the place.

Janet left him to his paper, and wrote four letters, exactly alike, informing the second generation of Hildltches that their father was In his accustomed health, that the weather was aus picious for the cane crop, and that there was no news of interest "And there isn't any of Interest to them," she mused, cynically, as she sealed the letters, and then put them in the mall box beside the road. It was not very veasy at first to either of them, for Grandfather Hilditch was not accustomed to being assisted about everything he did, and Janet had to compel herself to discuss her own affairs with him; but as the days went by, they gradually found common ground. Janet discovered that there was a certain fascination in driving through the fields, watching what changes a day and night had made there, and it was quite exciting to count over the big flock of turkeys every night to see that not one was missing. The bronze on their wings glistened and glowed. 4This Is a pine mast year, honey," grandfather explained, when she re marked upon their beauty. "You know It falls only every second year, and it makes the finest turkey meat In the world. See those four great two-year olders? I shall ship those to the chll dren for TLanksgiving. I save the pick of the gobblers in each year's hatch to keep over. At two years old they are at their best." "Where shall you go for Thanks "C&AXDrATHEn, I AM COIJJQ TO STAT TOCB WEEKS WITH TOUl" giving this time, grandpa?" Janet Inquired. 'To Tommy's, I reckon. You remember, I was at your father's last year." Janet did remember. She had not thought of it nt the time, but she now recalled that although there had been i midday dinner, out of respect for old times, her father had gone back to his ofiice Immediately afterward, her mother had entertained callers all th afternoon, and she had gone driving with a party of yrung people. How grandfather had pet in the time she had not the remotest Idea. At Uncle Tom's it would be exactly the same, for Uncie Tom was the busiest of men. and his wife and daughters supplied a great amount of material for the society papers"Stay at, home this time, grandfather, and you and I will have Thanksgiving all by ourselves, with maybe some of the neighbors!" she cried, impulsively. "All right, honey, all right!" h agreed, heart !y, and she saw a sudden leap of brightness in his blue eyet. The two began planning at once, and for the next fortnight there was no lack of common Interest. Miss LIndy, the old housekeeper, en tered warmly into their consultations. "But I won't say a word about it to them," thought Janet the next MInday morning. So the letters which she wrote and mailed were the exact duplicates of those of the week before, except that circumstances demanded a report of the cMlly weather. In one or two of those which came from the children that week were inquiries as to where grandfather would spend Thanksgiving, so in her next com mu nlcation Janet stated laconically that her grandfather had decided to stay at home. ".Something must surely bo the matter with father," said Mrs. Isabel Huntley, uneasily, when she received her letter. "He hasn't spout a single holiday at home since mother died fifteen years ago. I don't like these little notes of Jaret's. She says father is well, but I don't believe It. for if he was he would do the writing himself! I'm going home!" So she canci'led a number of engagements and went at once. "SiK'iuling Thanksgiving at home! Why, that Is queer!" mused Tom Hilditch. "I thought he was corning to us this time. There is Komething wrong, or he never would let Janet be attending to his correspondence this way." lie sllpied the letter Into his pocket and called up his brother Sam over the iong-dlstance telephone.

If he is all right, we can have a day of it together, and if he isn't Well good-by r At Janet's own home there was con sternation. "I don't know what on earth to think, Magnus." her mother said. "Janet was to have spent Thanksgiving with Sam's daughters. She has written such provoking little notes, anyway, ever since she has been at the farm. Something must be the matter. Sam's cirls are giving a Thanksgiving bail for her, and yet " "Will you Just pack a few things Into a bag for me?" said Magnus Hilditch, abruptly. "Janet has already remained with father three weeks longer than she intended she has written all his letters. The probability is that he has had an accident of 6-iue sort, and will not allow her to rell us. You know his independence, and his reluctance to give trouble. It is a particularly inopportune time for me to leave, but I must look after him." Thanksgiving morning found Janet up bright and early. She and Miss ! Lindy had made the old house spick and span from roof to floor, and Janet's artistic fingers had decked the rooms with autumn foliage and fruits Strange to s:iy, Aunt Isabel had descended upon the household in the middle of the nUht. There had been no explanations, but she entered at once into the spirit of things, and trailed her rich dress through room after room of Ler girlhood's home, as with her father and niece she gave a last look to see that everything was ready for the coming of the neighbors. Big oak fires burned in every room, U big open fireplaces, and the cheery flames were reflected upon brick hearths and andirons, whitewashed in the old-fnshioned way, that always re-' minded Janet of snow and of frosted cakes. "They're a-comin a'ready!" called Miss Lindy; and sure enough, down the road n team was kicking up a dust. The three went to the gate, expecting to greet some of the Invited guests, but lo! "The boys! The boys!" shouted Grandfather Hilditch; and three blg bearded men climbed down from the wagon. The old man's voice broke as he welcomed then:, and there was something that made the three sons and the daughter avoid each other's e'es, and look tenderly upon the old man and the young girl who stayed so close to his side. They went within, and gathered about the fireplace in "mother's room," with its memories. "How did you all happen to come?" Mrs. Huntley asked her brothers. "Why, it seemed a spontaneous uprising of filial affection," responded Magnus Hilditch. "We all felt a little anxious about father it Isn't easy to telegraph ten miles from the railway and when we found he was spending Thanksgiving at home. We Just came. And how about yourself?" "Oh, I had missed his letters so! I was sure that he never would have allowed Janet to write for him If he was able to do It himself." Grandfather looked deDrecatlnclv down at Janet "Since It served to bring you home, Isabel, I don't regret it," he aaid, "but I'll have to own up that I have prob ably missed the writing of those letters more than you have the receiving of them. My little girl wanted to help me " "Our little girl needs to take a course In correspondence," laughed Uncle Tom. "I never In all my days read such unsatisfactory letters " "Nor I!" "Nor I!" Janet could bear no more. Halflaugniug, uair-crymg, sne sprang up, and from the corner of the mantel took down a budget of letters. The children's letters always had lain there from week to week. "You needn't say a word not one of you!' she cried. "I've taken my course in correspondence, and I learned right here from these very let: tors that there isn't anything worth writing about except the weather and the family health. I told you grand father was well, and I told you the kind of weather!" She flew out of the room, and down to the kitchen to help Miss Lindy. "They'll not misunderstand, either," she thought. "Father will give me a, lecture; but I su?icct that Le will do his own writing after this, and that the others won't dare not to do better. But, oh, they do love him they do love my sweet old grandfather, even if they don't write to him as If he was a real live man, and that is news of Interest to me, and I shouldn't wonder if It is to him, too!" Youth's Companion. On a IV ew Footing. Absalom Foote, an eccentric old gentleman who had grown tired of life in the city, decided to move to some smaller town, free from tho roar of traffic the bustle and confusion of the thronging multitude, where he could end his days tranquilly, as became a man of his age. In casting about for a locaj tlon, his eye chanced to light upon th advertisement, in a village paper, ol one Thomas It. Foote, who wanted U dispose of his boct and shoe store, at a bargain, having made up his mind tc remove to the clt;7. "That's the very thing," he said "Selling shoos is a nice easy occupation.' It will give me just enough to do to' kop me from stagnating, and It won't v.ear me out with overwork. I'll investigate it. It's queer, though, that his name is Foote, my name Is Foote, he wants to come to the city, and I want to go to the country." A visit to the little town decided him. He liked its appearance and location. He was pleased, moreover, with 'Foote's Shoe Store." and bought it. 'good-will and all, at a bargain. "Well," said the other Mr. Foote. "you won't have to chanse the sin." "No," he answered, slowly; "I'll jast add a little to It." The next day he added this. j;ist below the sign: "This Place Has Changed Fret." For tho t'oiiitre;(lon.

Avoid feeding hay or dusty roughage just previous to milking. There is too much dust to drop into the milk pail.

Where a farm cannot be cultivated by machinery, people are learning that wise intensive cultivation of garden tuffs brings large returns. It is a mistake to fill the holes half full of manure when planting trees. Soil should be mellow for three feet all around, but not too wet . ' Thousands of chickens die from bowrl trouble during the summer months Thia Is generally caused by wet feed, which 6ours quickly during the hot weather. 1 If the hens are allowed to run through the dew-laden grass every day or two they are not likely to be trou bled with scaly legs, which are caused by parasites. v Turkeys, the night before killing, should be given no food but plenty of water. This leaves an empty craw. clean Intestines and makes the dark meat comparatively light X. F. Murray says a man who sold fG.000 worth of apples from a forty aero sod orchard one season broke it up and cultivated it the next year and Bold his crop for $12,000. We are apt to neglect the hens as won as they begin to fall off In e; production. Careful and regular feed ing, however, will keep up the egg sup ply fairly well, even during hot weath er. 1 There Is no present or , future Sanger of over production in the dairy field. We are hardly able to keep pace with the demand. This indicates need of more concentrated effort more efficient methods. Tho Jersey cow is a highly developed milk-making machine. She has been bred so long for this purpose that' her characteristics have become fixed, am' the descendants of a well-bred dairy cow can be depended upon. The amouii of milk that she will make depends largely on the amount of food that yon can get her to use. Charred Cobs for I'lsra. The pigs should have access to a pile of charred cobs or dry wood ashes. as it Is beneficial in correcting the acids and aids In the bone development ot the animal.

If you have no natural shade in the way of shrubs o; trees,, make a frame of boards anfi cover with muslin or canvas. The hens begin to look ragged ovttng to losing their feathers. They ar beginning to molt and need extra enre and attention during this period, so as to get them over the molting period as quickly as possible. Plenty of nourishing food should be given them and their quarters kept clean and free from lice. What the Covr Muat Do. A study of the records of Individual ?ows at the New Jersey station shoved that but little profit can be derived from a cow that does not pr ducft .1,000 pounds of milk per yer.?. particularly If the product Is sold it the low price of one cent per pound i stronger argument Is needed in favcr of tre necessity of testing the ani mals, and thus learning their cxa?t value, than Is afforded by these records. Furthermore, the facts brought out by the records Indicate that there Is but little profit from a cow that does not produce 200 pounds of butter per year, and point to the necessity of a careful selection of cows for the Lütter dairy. Weekly Witness. Adda Life to Fenco Poata. Impregnation with creosote has been greatly cheapened by the Introduction of the "open tank," which can be installed at a cost of from $.".0 to $10. or much less If an old boiler is used. A tank with a bottom twelve feet iquare in area will sullice for treating forty or fifty six-inch posts a day, or Jouble this number whru two runs per day can be made. The price of creosite Is about 10 ?ents per gallon in the Fast and Middle West, JO cents per gallon on the I'acif-f coast, and 27 cents per gallon In the Kocky mountain states. The cost of treating a post will therefore rary from 4 to 15 cents. Properly treated it should give service fur at least twenty years. Experiments of the forest service show that with preservative treatment the durability of lodgepole pine in Idaho Is Increased sixteen years. The cost of crr-osto is there relatively high, yet by treating posts there Is a saving, with interest at G per cent, of 2 cents per post yearly.

Whenever people begin to talk ct hard times and capital becomes timid mproved farm lands come Into good demand. This has been illustrated once more since the financial flurry of last fall, as more people are now looking for real estate investments than at this time last year. There will be no depreciation, there fore, in farm values this season, and irobably some advance will be noted, eople know that well located real eaate is as safe as the government It self. Th question whether farming pays much or little Is not considered when men end women are looking for abso- I utely sound Investments. The land is alwavs there. It can neither be stoen not1 burned. With a rapidly developljig population the time is not far off when every acre of unoccupied land m th United states win be wanted t more than is asked for it to-day.

preparation and serving of food and the trjoyment of it too. Althouzh the idea of feedlmr rultry by machinery hasn't been long on these shores several hundred nersons are engaged In the business, and nearly a million dollars Is invested. Machinefattened nonltrv is to be found in every Import.nt market of the land. While the Idea, as stated before, came from France, Americans, with their usual cleverness in adopting the prod ucts of other brains, have improved upon the rnehanical agencies. A sheet metal tank or bucket hold ing about four gallons of food and standing upon three legs, forms the upper part of the American machine. A rubber tube atoui a foot long runs from the receptacle; it is about the size of one's thumb when it is attached to the machine and tapers to the size of a little finger at the other end. Operated by the foot, a treadle Is connected with a little sliding door in the bottom of the bucket. When this door opnoad by a movement of the treadle A quantity of food is forced through The tube and down the fowl's throat Wtwn one wishes to feed a fowl he seizes it by the legs, opens Its bill and pnshcu the rubber tube down its throat until the nozzle nearly reaches the crop.
