MI. F. II. Buffers mother and a
niece from Illinois are visiting here.


About the Fleming farm, one
mile and a half east of Wheatland,
there are four miles of the finest
road to be found anywhere. Three
miles Of it was graded by Major
Fleming at his individual expense,
and in the building of one mile he
was assisted by Mr.. Smith Stimmel.
This year the major cultivated the
grade on both sides and sowed it to
mixed timothy, oats, barley and
wheat, which is growing finely and
completely kills out the rank
growth of weeds usually found on
highways. and which are 50 detri-
mental to farms by casting foul
seed broadcast. This splendid road
was made with Il New Era grader,
and a strip Of 800 yards is through u
slough which was impossible before
the grader was used. The major
esteems the New Era Il most excel
lent machine. The value of his farm
is greatly appreciated by the grade
which surrounds it, aifording both
drainage and q thoroughfare as level
as floor. In addition to these ad-
vantages, by cultivating and seed
ing the road about his place he is
given thirty-two acres from which
to cut the finest tame hay each year.
There is not a weed in sight, and
after cutting the timothy the entire
four miles of thoroughfare is as
level in the center as your parlor
floor, and the whole as handsome as
a lawn. All this shows the posi-
bilities of road making when a New
Era is employed. There is style as
we'll as economy and good hard
sense about .-[Wheatland Eagle.

culture, and whose record of lifting ,412
pounds-'has never been equaled, when a

press called on him ''that young women
are becoming more than ever before in
terested in physical development. There
is shown among women marked desire
to become physically stronger. Hereto
fore the general idea among them was
that physical culture was only for men,
and meant coarseness and abnormal de-
velopment of the muscles. But now they
are beginning to understand the subject
better. There has been very apparent

The Shah's Wives and the Consul.

The following extract is from report
made by s. G. W. Benjamin, lately
United States minister to Persia:
II have the honor to report that on the
18th of June | was riding out to the
country from Teheran in carriage, on
the way to the summer quarters of the
legation. was accompanied by my
daughter. According to the custom of
the country, the carriage was preceded
by two outriders. The other legations
on such an occasion take four to eight
outriders, a matter of necessity as well as
of display in Persia. As we approached
"a halfway coffee house | observed line

such vehicles to be seen standing there,

to be taken. l was greatly surprised,
therefore, to see troop of mounted cav

and make violent attack upon my out
riders, who Immediately cried out several
times that the United States minister was
in the carriage and had the right of way.
81 now recognized the soldiers to- be-

after perceived that the wives of the
shah were in the carriage. Although
having officially the absolute right to
pass, allowed to none, except ministers
and their families at the risk OF mme-
date death to all others, l ordered my
driver to stop in order to give an officer
opportunity to come to the carriage to
apologize for the attack and escort us
safely through the guards stationed in
front and rear of the royal harem. But
as no attention seemed to be paid to this,
| ordered my men to keep on, thus throw
ing the responsibility of any results on
the guards, who, not satisfied with beat

swords, swarmed around the carriage it.

weapons. The lieutenant of the troop
seized the carriage horses, others struck
and thrust at the horses, and two even
struck the driver himself. Fortunately
the man was alike skilful and intrepid,
and succeeded in both controlling the
horses and driving us safely out of the
disagreeablc melee that at one moment
threatened serious results. The number
of men attacking was about twenty 1t

A FOE TO FAT.

New York is a great place in which to
have friends and not see them for months.
A Tribune reporter realized this the other
day when he ran across friend whom he
had not met in year. But the fact of
not meeting did not strike the newspaper
man so oddly as the change in the others
appearance. The friend was nearly five
feet nine in height, about 80 years old,
and apparently neither fat nor thin. He
was man whom one would call simply
in good condition. That was singular
enough, for only year or so before the
reporter had noted that his friend was

His fat seemed to settle in his waist

Something About MIndmIlls.

'1t'sa decided mistake TO suppose that
windmills are out of fashion or have out
lived their usefulness said a dealer in
these articles to a reporter for the New
York Mail and Express "You would be
surprised to learn how extensively they
are used. There are many machines Of
various kinds to elevate water, but all
are inferior TO the Windmill in economy,
simplicity and efficiency. Some are
troublesome to manage and many break
down at inconvenient times. This has
led to the manufacture of storm-defy-
ing windmill that requires no fuel or
skilled labor and next to no attention.
A little fabrication, faithfully applied at
intervals, is all that is necessary to keep
it in order for years. Its first cost is
practically its only cost, BY It's use
domestic cleanliness and comfort become
as attainable in any remote suburb or
country place as in city. Agriculture
and horticulture are alike cultivated as
the streams of water are stored ready to
be thrown literally on farm and garden,
and the dread of fire is greatly lessened
when one of these windmils forms part
of the fittings of residence.
A windmill works night and day ana
must be substantial enough to success
fully encounter a hurricane and so nicely
fitted as to be sensitive to the gentlest
breeze. Twenty years ago people had
but little faith in windmills. They were
prejudiced against the very appearance
of the antique engines then employed,
and unless their wells were deep they
were averse to their use. The wells were
generally near the dwelling, where a
rough frame or bark-bereft tree would be
an eyesore, and few were willing to in
cur the expense of tower But now a
simple mast, neatly painted, is not more
unsightly than flagstaff, while the
windmill, far up above the tops of the
trees, silently and diligently performs
most useful work We have orders for
windmills from all parts o. the world,
and | have lately shipped some to Aus
tralia and Brazil. An interesting ex-
ample of the use of windmill is found
at Seabright, N. j., where an association
bought one for pumping water to sprinkle
the roads. The distance is thirty feet
from the water in the we'll to the top Of

water, and the tank is readily filled in
eight hours when the windmill is moY-
ing at an average speed. The water is
drawn from the tank through four
inch pipe, and the two-horse watering
cart can be filled in four minutes"
"What are the sizes of the wheels and
the prices of windmills"
eve have them with wheels thirty
feet in diameter. Such mill boxed
weighs $500 pounds and costs 1915.
One with twenty-foot wheel costs 5000,
with a twelve-foot wheel $3.50 and with
eight d-a-half-foo wheel 500.

.what kind Of .reruise do they most

s'What kind of exercise do they most
preferi" was asked.
at isn't so much what they prefer, but
what is best for them. The only way to
properly exercise is to do it systematic
eally, and we have a regular course ar
ranged for this purpose. First, we take a
measurement of the different parts of the
body. Then we generally start off with
chest exercise, then the waist, then the
limbs. Some ladies have a medical ex-
animation to ascertain if they are in
sound condition. OF to learn if there are
any weak spots in their body that should
have extra exercise, particularly regard
ing the heart and lungs. If any weak
spots are found these are strenthened
first. From experience we find that as a
rule the chief defects in the constitutions
of the young women of the present day
are weaknesses of the back and waist
and next the arms. Their preferences
here are for chest-developing exercise,
and they seem to detest most that which
develops the waist-they don't want
large waists
'Have you any records of what your
young lady pupils have done during their
exercising?"
81 do not keep any, for the pupils do
not like the idea of having it talked
about. But can give you several. One
young lady who was exercising here be-
came so strong that she lifted on the
hoalth-lift 700 pounds. Another who
took to vaulting, who was only nineteen
years old, vaulted five feet This was
splendid leap for woman. Last year
young girl began exercising who was
twelve years old, hut who weighed
ninety-eight pounds. She began here
because she was threatened with curva-
ture of the spine. In six months she
grew three inches in height, and her
chest girth was increased in its expansion
two inches, making her chest expansion
four inches. This was remarkable when
you take into consideration that the
average chest expansion is only about
two inches. A young woman about
twenty years old, who was partly
paralyzed through shorthand writing
and telegraphing, began exercising a
short time ago and is now quite well and
strong. Special work for every muscle
on the surface of the body is the only
sure way of successful exercising"

W0MAN'S WORLD.
PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR
FEMININE READERS.
DIR. TaImage's Wife.

The wife of the great preacher, Rev.
De Witt Talmage, while she has always
modestly kept herself in the background,
is nevertheless almost as remarkable for
her fine intellect as her renowned hus-
band. A woman of medium height, with
dark hair and flashing black eyes, and a
face showing great strength of character,
Mrs. Talmage is noticeable figure
wherever she is seen. She is an earnest
worker in the church as well as a de-
voted wife and mother, and the duties
that devolve upon her as the wife of a
minister of so large congregation would
appal any woman less gifted with good
judgment and untiring energy than she.
Mrs. Talmage has, among her other la
bors, the charge of Bible class of 300
adults, to whom she delivers a lecture
each Sunday, which is as brilliant it its
way as her husbands sermon. She is in
every way rare woman among women,
intellectual, earnest, pleasing and modest.
