Careful inquiry regarding the crop situ-
alton in South IN Minnesota shows that
prospects are most encouraging. Winter
wheat is already harvested, and will give
an everage yield of thirty bushels per acre,
while further west about the same results
will be secured. In some sections chinch
bugs have done littls damage. but not
nearly SO much as was feared few weeks
ago. Fields Of late sown barley, which at
that time were considered worthless, now
give promise of a splendid yield. A de-
stroyer of the chinch bugs has appeared in
the shape Of myriads of ants, which have
eaten the bugs and saved the grain. Hay
and oats are especially fine and heavy, and
spring wheat is doing well, with promise
OF Rfteen to eighteen bushels per acre.

BULGARIAN WOMEN.

Men In the Winning.

Thoy Take an Almost Equal share With
Men In the Bread-winnlng.
Bulgarian peasant women are ex-
tremely robust and hardy, though they
are, as n rule. short Of stature. They
are thickly set, their chests well deyel-
oped and their limbs muscular from
constant exercise and toll in the open
air. Their Tartar origin shows itself
in their high projecting chcek-bones,
short snub noses and little twinkGng
eyes.
Social life among this class of the
population differs from that of the
Greek chiefly in the position of the
women. A Bulgarian butka, or good
wife, takes an almost equal share with
her husband in the bread-winning. and
consequently her word has considera-
BILE weight in the family council. Like
all women in the East. she is sober and
thrifty, keeps at least the inside of her
house clean and tidy, cooks palatable
food. spins. weaves, knits and sews all
the clothes for the family. Her ward
robe consists of two suits, one the gala
costume in which she was married, and
which will last her lifetime for Sun
days and prasnik, or feastdays; and
one of the same pattern. but more
homcly material. for working days.
The former consists chiefly of long
linen garment worked round the seams.
n cloth coat richly embroidered. large
apron neatly covered with the same
ornamcntation, but no petticoats; and
on the head bordercd white kcrchiei
artistioally arranged and fastened with
silver pins and strings of coins.
These dresses, with some carpets,
rugs. towels and sheets, form Hun
garian girls trousseau. Among the
peasants. proposal Of marriage is
made to the father, who accepts the
suitor on his promising to pay sum
varying, am told. from ESQ to fl00
according to his means. This is the
purchase money for the labor Of the
hardy maiden, which will ON her mar
