A. certain brother and sister, just promoted from one school to another, - found that among their new school- enates cheating was prevalent. It was apparently a point of pride with the pupils to deceive the teachers as often as possible and to invent new ways to do it. Neither of the newcomers yielded to tine fashion, but they resist- ed it in very different ways. The, girl, who was of a strong and independent nature, detested the habit, felt a sweeping scorn for all who indulged in it and was outspoken in expressing her disdain. With the few who shared her honesty, she held herself aloof ofrom her mates; she toiled with indignant fidelity at her tasks, never complaining, never tell- ing tales, and accepting with a feeling of exaltation rather than of discour- agement a rank lower than that which her mental inferiors attained by cheating. ,. She was regarded as a person apart, who had strict notions, did not mind work, said sharp things and shot contemptuous glances. Her af- fairs were of no consequence to the rest of the school. 'S'he did not care for their opinion nom they for hers. ii-Gi t t use Tiro World's greatest industry.

With her brother it was different .He was an active, companionable and sensitive boy who disliked work as much as he loved play, cared im- mensely for what the other fellows thought of him, delighted in doing a good turn for anybody, and desired 'always to be like the persons he was with, and to do as they did. He thought it mean to cheat, but he could not think meanly of all the pupils who cheated. Some of them were very "good sorts" in most things. Then, too, even if he himself did not cheat, how was he to keep from help- ing others to, when his 'best friends would ask him the answers to ques- tions and think him a prig if he didn't tell? He tried one day to acquaint his sister with his difficulties. She was horrified. "Why, Tom." she exclaimed. "Do you mean to tell me you'd like to cheat?" Now, that was exactly what Tom did mean. He would have liked to cheat. , He felt the temptation and longed for the comfortable result. Yet he had not cheated. But he stammer- ed and hesitated and felt soo ashamed before the bristling virtue with which his sister received his confession that he never finished it. He dropped the subject as soon as he could, and so forfeited the strong and bracing help that he needed. If only the nature that was so noblyhonest had been patient and gentle too that sisterly oppertusrity would •not have been thrown away. The two are still at school. The aggressively. honest girl still main- tains her honorable oddity, and still wins no one to her side. The boy still refrains with diffieulty from doing ars the other pupils do; sometimes he helps' his friends when it would be bet- ter for them if he refused. But his own work is still honest, and some of his "'rates are corning; to do as he does, half from love of honesty and half from Iove of him. Perhaps,as his moral nature grows with his physical and mental growth, he will be as. sturdily and. naturally honest as his sister and more sympathetic than she with the weakneusee of others. it is a fine thing to hayo a nature superior to common temptations; but when virtue assets' itself so vigorously that it crushes or alienates the feel- ings of those who are less hardy mor- ally it links' itself with a fault, Com- mon honesty and 'common kindliness should go hand in hand, Some Short Cuts In Sewing. g When gathering, lengthen the mac chine stitch and matte two rows of etitcirdng about throe -eighths of an inch apart. Draw'up one thread of r. each row' and you have neat gathers o that will not slip out of pl'ace.. When putting of a straight feeing or binding, let one edge be selvage.. This saves numb time and busting: The less patrtiau1lar things may be pinned instead of basted. If you are careful to put the pins in at right angles to- the line of stitching, the machine toot will pass over them with no trouble. A little fancy stitching adds much, to the appearance of some otherwise' plain looking things,' Wind floss on! the bobbin' of your, machine, loosen the Shuttle tension `enough to allow the floss to pass through easily, and lengthen the stitch, Ordinamy:thread Is used for: the needle: Stamp the ma-' terial rind work on the wrong side,! This stitching has the appearance els couching. -Mrs. H,' It. W. When cutting children's garments from a small amount of goods and piecing is necessary, piece where trim• - ming would look most effective. Cover the seam with a bit of braid or a simple design in embroidery work or. a few fancy stitches, as' the long and short stitch, or feather stitch. On garments for grown-ups wool yarn or beads can be used in charming effects. To do punch work by a short -out method, use a design such as a wild .rose or butterfly, baste a piece' of strong paper-dnder'neath, then.a piece of coarse curtain net. Work, through' all. When finished cut out linen, be- ing very careful not to cut net, Tear out paper, leaving net, which greatly resembles punch work. This can be worked to great advantage in mend- ing thin breaks in lunch cloths and also to cover stains. Work the de- sign over the stain or hole and'cut away. Mrs. R. R. I have a' family of seven to sew for, sc. I have to use all' the short-cuts I can, I do very little basting and find I can make the work look just as neat as when I baste it. I do my patching of every -day, clothes on the sewing machine. I put a patch on the knee of a pair of over- alls by ripping up the inside leg seam, sewing the patch in place and then resewing the seam. In making buttonholes in every -day garments, I sew back_ and forth three or foe tines, leaving a small spate in centre where buttonhole is needed. This is then cut, being careful not to cut the stitching. In making plain garments I cut out several garments at a time. Then stitch all seams so as to have them ready for pick-up work at odd times. To prevent ripping in tablecloths, sheets, or towels at the ends, I sew back and forth two or three times in the same place instead of tying the threads. When hemstitching wears out, I stitch serpentine braid across the worn edge. This snakes a neat finish and lasts a long time. When I get new underwear I stitch two or three times around the button- holes on- the sewing machine. This prevents then from stretching Or Pos- ing their shape.—Mrs. L. W. F. I have five children to sew for, the oldest being five years of -age. Ido my summer sewing in the winter when the men are not working very hard and don't require the hearty meals that take so much time to pre- pare. I use labs of pins and do very little basting. I do the stitching with No. 40 thread, and instead of French seams lay the edges together and fold over about one-quarter inch and stitch. I find this will hold as long as the doth -will wear. I make everything I can with the kimona sleeves. When it comes to darning men's cotton work 'socks I crochet around the hole with knitting cotton, using single crochet and skip- ping every other stitch until -hole is filled. I use tape to tie children's nightgowns instead of making button- holes, --Mrs. A. H. S. I think my greatest short-cut in sewing is the plain slip -over dress with sleeves and body all cut together. I use an old dress for a pattern. Cut out, finish around the neck anti open- ing first. Sew up the -two sides and arm seams, hem, finish the sleeves with bias binding, put on the'fasten- ing, the dress is ready. to wear. I put straps on the side seams and make a sash or a belt, The neck can be open- ed down the 'front, back or .on both. shoulders: I find. that a supply of cotton tape and bias binding of different widths Li a great help. I .always have a package of safety razor blades that are sharp on only one side, at hand when 1 want to do ripping.—Mss. T. C.

On the Indian Bead (Sack,) Forest Nursery Station, of the Department of the Inn terror, an eight -year• -old plantation of Russian poplar, cut come years ago, yielded at the rate of eighteen oordli per acre. In' addition to the actual planting, all the work done on the plantation had been a certain amount of cultivation during the first and the second years .of its growth. The plan. ' tatter' im question was three-eighths of an acre in extent, and yielded 6% cordsof fuel -wood. The height of ttre plantation averaged over' twenty-one feet,. single trees running as high as• twenty-six ':feet, Even before this similar results had, been obtained, From cottonwoods planted in the spring of 1905 wood suitable for fuel was cut in the autumn of 1006, In -this case the average hedgbt of the trees was fifteen feet, and many of them were over six, inches In diameter at the ground. The figures. 'quoted show what can be done in tharapi'd produc- tion of fuel, though under other meth - ads of handling plantations the yield can':no doubt, be considearably in- creased.
