Do I look a back number?" demand* ed tbe woman who has just re* turned from a shopping tour. Her dearest friend assured her she looked stylish and the prop er thing in every respect. "Well, if I have had it thrown in my faee once I’ve had it fifty times this morning that I was away behind the times. Before 1 finished shopping 1 felt that I was a dowdy and a fright. And a 11 because I knew what 1 wanted. ■Yon tee I believe thoroughly that tbe best dressed woman does not obey all the kinks and whims of fashion, bnt wears what is most fitted to her style.

It made me feel very small, bnt I refused' to bny wbat they told me was ‘the thing’ with all the dignity I conld master. "It began with the belts. I sked to see some narrow belts. They showed me half a dozen. ’Haven’t you any more of them?' I asked. ‘Ob, yes,’ said tbe clerk, wearily, ‘but they are way on the top shelf; nobody’s wear ing them now, you know. Bod ices are the swellest thing.’ I wanted to tell her that I took three fashion magazines and knew tbe styles better than she did, but that I looked like a meal sack in a bodice and she couldn’t hire me to wear one. w At mnltinr rnnnfav T aaL^J lor gray mohair. No, we only have white. Everyone • ii wear ing white or cream, yon know,’ volunteered the clerk. That time I could not control my tongue. 'I know it,' 1 snapped out; 'that's why I want gray. I don't want what everyone is wearing.' 'O, no indeed, we haven’t any varieties in toques,’ a milliner's clerk said in shrill tones. Toques are only need in the early soring, so we don’t keep them in stock. We have no call for them.’ I didn't think it necessary to ex plain to tkat clerk that I wanted a toque to wear sutomobiling aqd that J preferred it to the regulation qgiy automobile cap.

Many farmers work hard all •Burner and raise fine crops sod have fine gardens, but as soon as crops are laid by they stop all manner of work, in a short time all vegetables are over grown with grata and weeds and brush for want of attention. I know farmers now (and unfor tunately their name is legion) who have from this sort of neglect lost all their vegetables and now their wives are pot to it to find something to cook. Now this ought not to be so. Work while you work; play while you play, is the way to be cheerful, happy and gay, but too much of it will put you on short ration*. No one likes totee the young and old (oiks enjoy themselves more than 1, but there shoald be moderation in all things. Have hours to work and hours to play. Now begin to cultivate your turnips. Tbose tomato vines that have fallen down and died with bnahcls of neglected to matoes on them, can be ent off, cultivated, and maimed suckers will put up from the roots. These will bear a crop of late tomatoes. Some will get ripe before frost. Then take all green ones that are grown or nearly so, wrap them in paper and lay them on a shelf. They 1 will ripen. In this way I have had ripe tomatoes Christmas 1 day. I have treated mine so two weeks ago. or a part of them, at least. They are now blooming. Work out your celery and be gin to earth up slowly. Work your parsnips and carrots and beets. Look after vour Irish pouiop. « they are on the ground take up and put them in the bonae till cold weather, then keep them away for tbe winter. Look after your small fruit Vines or bnahea and (lowers. Your cows should be fed now with plenty of succulent food and some grain, too, or they wiU lose their flow of milk.

There were more people in town than during any previous Saturday since last winter, and trade generally was good. Mr. C. A.

The typhoid lever epidemic *t Sharon has probably been tbe most serious epidemic of tbe kind that has ever occurred in this country. It commenced more than two months ago, and itp to the present time there have been more than thirty cases. There have been only :wo deaths, Messrs. R. H. H. 'sin and J. S. Moore, both men in their early prime. There is reason to believe now that the epidemic is sbont over. Mr. J. Starr Moore died at bis home at Sharon yesterday evening at about 7 o'clock of rypoid fever. HU 'condition had been extremely critical for note a week. Mr. Moore was ibout 45 years of agt and was held in high esteem as one of jest citizens of his most ex cellent community. He was a xotber of Mr. W. T. Moore, of Yorkville. He leaves a widow and eight children. Tbe aatnes of the older children are Solomon. Curtis, Esther, An Itew, Iva and Turner. The funeral took place at Bollock's 'reek to-day. Prof. R. J.

He wm accompanied by a doses paid blacks. His first and last adventure on bis trading trip is given by the author of "South America." The Englishman was a pony man, but with quite a towering spirit, \moag the "boys" he had taken with him was a huge black, a Zulu, who kad been cast in nature's largest mold. When they had left the sparse fringe of civilisation the Eng. litbinan found that there was plotting going on among his foi* lowers. He was then alone in a desert, with a dozen blacks, and be knew their language well enough to know that the' Zulu was persuading the others in acrifrtura) language, "Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be oars." By eavesdropping, justified in the circumstances, be discovered that the proposal seemed good | in their eyes. They were to kill Kin filam smJ * - aad the stores of merchandise, to sepsrstc. csch mss to his own kraal, sod when the English man and bis venture were quite forgotten tbev could trade with the spoils. The little Englishman had a big spirit sad tree courage. He got no from where be lay and went into the circle of conspira tors and stood ia front of the mntiooos Zola sod told him to get up. At first the maa refused, hot the English mas had a sjam bok (a rawhide whip) in his tight little fist and struck at bis enemy. And then the little maa gave word of command to the other conspirators to talrs the Zulu ring-leade* qn<J Me h)W «P to tna wafroo. aad so strange a thing ia the way they obmf him, although reluctantly. Then the p>iny Englishman naed his sjambok until be was exhausted and the man well punished. The trader went on with bis venture, made a successful trip aud had no further trouble with bis blacks.

But all these varied reasons cannot keep the cart-wheel money in the front as a medium of exchange. All axgament far its favor, whether actual or sen timental, cannot pmvant k from losing its popularity.
