American travellers are dissatisfied If
the velvet pile carpets at their hotels
are not at least two inches thick, and
yet endure without a murmur the
hideous noises Of a steam-heatino an
paratus which ceases its bubble and
squeak only TO emulate the exertions

machinery for their manufacturing
processes and hack their meat with
silver-plated hoop iron knives hardly
calculated to tackle anything harder

THE FARMERS SIDE.
"Where we are, how we got here,
and the way out. ;"
BY Hon. w. A. PETER,
}. Q. SENATOR FROM KANSAS.
12mo, cloth Price, s1.oo.

There Is demand for comprehensive and
authoritative book which shall represent the
farmer, and set forth his condition, the infu-
ences surrounding him, and plans and prospects
for the future This book has been written by
Hon. W. A. PETER, who was elected to the
United States Senate from Kansas to succeed
Senator Ingalls,. The title is THE farmers
SIDE, and this indicates the purpose of the work.
In the earlier chapters, Senator PETER de-
scribes the condition Of the farmer IN various
parts of the country, and compares it with the
condition of men in other callings. He carefully
examines the cost of labor, of living, the prices
of crops, taxes mortgages, and rates of interest.
He gives elaborate tables showing the increase
of wealth in railroads, manufactures. banking,
and other forms of business, and he compares
this with the earnings of the farmer, and also
wage-workers in general. In clear, forcble
style, with abundant citations of facts and fig
ures, the author tells how the farmer reached
his present unsatisfactory condition. Then fol-
lows an elaborate discussion of "The Way out"
which is the fullest and most autho ritative pres
entation of the aims and views of the Farmers
Alliance that has been published, including full
discussions of the currency, the questions of
interest and mortgages, railroads, the sale Of
crops, and other matters of vital consequence.
This book is the only one which attempts to
cover the whole ground, and it is unnecessary
to emphasize its value. 1t is compendium of
the facts, figures, and suggestions which the
farmer ought to have at hand.
THE FARMERS SIDE has Just been issued,
and makes handsome and substantial book
of $50 pages. We have arranged with the pub
fishers for its sale to our readers at the pub
lishers' price. The book may be obtained at
our office, will forward copies to any
address, postpaid, on receipt of $1.00 per copy.

THE SOUTH PACIFIC.
Exhibits Of the Islands at the Co
lumbar Exposition.
Siames0 Gems and Curios, Native Goods
from Java, and Contributions from
BOrneo, SumatrA and the
Straits Settlements.

Recent letters and cable dispatches
received from Leigh s. Lynch, who is
cruising in the southern Pacific in
search of features for the worlds fair,
convey the information that he has very
nearly completed his task. He has
made all the necessary arrangements
for exhibits from the Philippine islands,
Siam, Borneo, Sumatra, the Straits set
Elements and Java, and is now on his
way to Sydney, Australia, where he ex-
poets to meet an agent who has been
doing similar work in New Zealand,
the FIJI islands, the Friendly, the So
ciety aud other groups. 1t is not un-
likely that Mr.. Lynch will be able to
sail for home within thirty, or at the
most, sixty days. When he left Chicago
he expected to be abroad until Novem-
Der or December, but he has been more
successful than he anticipated, and has
made much more rapid progress than at
first seemed possible. He says, how
ever, that there will be a very complete
exhibit of the most important products
and industries of these countries, and
that they will be in charge of natives
For example, the sultan of Johore will
provide the exhibits from Borneo, SUI
mstra and the Straits settlements, and
win probably visit the exposition in
person with his suite.
The exhibit which Mr.. Lynch has
contracted for In Siam is intended to
supplement the exhibit Of the Siamese
government. and is subject to the APP
provA of the Slamese commissioners.
These have not been appointed-or had
not been when Mr.. Lynch wrote-but
the men who were prominently men,
toned for the place were consulted, and
they all seem favorable to Mr.. Lynch's
project. 90 1t Is likely that a fine col
lection OF Siamese gems and curios will
be displayed in the space of the Oceanic
Trading Company on the Midway plais-
anca.
Java WIN send not only fine assort-
penSof native goods, but will contrib

and athletes. The nautch girls of

Sealing Wax as an Indicator.

by their sealing-wax you shall know
them"-this is the latest edict of Par
isian society. For the future if the en-
velope be sealed with white wax the
recipient may know that within will be
a proposal for her hand in marriage,
while the more prosaic dinner invita-
ton will be heralded by a chocolate
seal. Black will still mean death and
violet coincidence, but ruby will show
that the letter is from an accepted lover
and green from a hopeful one. Brown
will be the livery of melancholy, yell
low Of jealousy, while pale green will
administer mute reproof, and gray will
indicate that friend has remembered

FARMING NOW AND OF YoRE.

Agriculturists Live Better Now and Find
1t Hard to Make Ends Meet.
The average farmer does not differ
from other mortals in believing that
every other mans avocatlon is moro
pleasant and profitable than his own,
and the idea has not yet passed out Of
date with many that the trler of the
soil is the most independent and kindly
of men. But that the life of the average
Michigan farmer is not all passed in cut
ting clover was the subject of a brief in
terview which Detroit Tribune man
had with d. Henning, a prominent
farmer of Wheatfield, Calhoun county,
the other day.
Things have changed a great deal
since the old pioneer days of Michigan
farming" said he, land it is about all
that nine out of ten of our farmers can
do now to keep up existence and the in
terest on their mortgages. What is it?
Well, that Is easier to ask than answer.
To begin with, farmers with growing
families live more extravagantly now
than they used. remember when I
was Lad we could all bunch together,
get large picnic wagon, take our best
girls and hold our country dances and
one dollar apiece for the whole would
have scared US to death. Now that
amount would scarcely buy the new
neclktie which the farmers boy or girl
would have to have for such an occa-
sion have farm of nine hundred
acres, well stocked and provided with
every kind of labor-saving mach cry.
If any man wants to buy It he viii be
surprised how pleasantly will talk to
him. / never get beat on anything,
but that farm came pretty near doing
it. No business man should ever think
OF farming. In every case he'll find it
culties this year is to secure compel
farm hands. On our farm we are pay
ing one dollar and fifty cents day, all
found, and the chief worry of my fore
man is to get sufficient help. Plenty of
idle men in the cities, Ell? Well, they
wouldn't be worth shucks to US. The
work is too hard for them, and anyway
adaptability in farming Is as necessary
as In anything else. The solution of
the problem? It may be In operating
on a more extensive scale, thus cheap

MALE FLIRTs IN SUMMER.

Handsome, MiSchievOus and Sometimes
Deserving OF a Hempen NecktIe.
The male dirt is usually a handsome
man, who has no other object in life
than to entertain imself, and In this
capacity he makes a model host, for,
like the butterfly that fits from flower
to flower, sipping the sweets
from the lovely blossoms or
merely lighting an instant to
gracefully float on 20 the next one, SO
this especial type of masculine perfdy
whites away the long hours of his wife's
or sweetheart's abs nee, for we regret
to say that the greater hirts are those
who have no right to pastime which Is
at all times dangerous to the peace Of
mind of those women who know not
the ways of the cr~ ,sture and believe inn
plicitly every wor1 ae says.
If the male firt yvere q woman, the
Philadelphia Times thinks, he would
probably either end up by not marrying
at all or else wedding some broken
stick when all the worthy offers, like
the blossoms of spring, had faded away
and left the poor butterfly only the
choice of few half-withered dropping
autumn flowers, lacking sweetness or
beauty. Unfortunately for those silly
enough to trust him, the masculine but
terhy does the wooing. He pleads ten
derby, speaks volumes with his eyes If
he dare not put into word his thoughts
and leads every victim he meets to be-
lieve she Is the only girl he ever loved,
when in all probab lily he has acted in
precisely the same manner to a dozen
others.
He is not dangerous to those who
know him, but unfortunately he does
not wear placard proclaiming his
idiosyncrasies to the world at large,
and many happy little maiden has
been turned into sad-eyed woman
through the unmeaning attentions OF
his royal highness the male hirt.

Ancient stone Cutting Tools.

An investigator, who lived during
two years In tom at Gizeh, has col
lected evidence to prove that the tools
used in working stone four thousand
years ago had jeweled cutting edges,
like modern tools. He says that the
builders of the pyramids'used solid and
tubular tools, straight and circular
saws, and mauN other tools supposed
to be modern. In some specimens OF
granite drill had sunk one-tenth of an
inch at each revolution, indicating that
the pressure was at least two tons.
Nothing is known of the material Of
the tools. As the diamond was scarce
then, it is probable that corundum was
used.

A Great shoe Exhibit.

Conspicuous in the shoe and leather
exhibit at the worlds fair will be the
display made by Lynn, Mass. Lynn is
the largest shoe producing center in the
United States, and fully seventy-five
and perhaps one hundred of the shoe
manufacturers of that city will furnish
exhibits. They are acting in harmony
in the matter.
The mineral exhibit at the WORLDS
fair promises to be incomparably finer
than any ever before made, either in
this country or abroad. California and
Colorado each are striving to surpass
all other states, and claim that they will
surely do SO. Michigan, Montana and
Missouri, too, are making a speciality of
the exhibition of their remarkably rich
and varied mineral resources, and are
not without hope of winning the
highest award. Almost every state
possesses mineral resources of especial
merit in one or more particulars, and
will display it's best. From all to-
gether a wonderfully complete and
valuable exhibit is certainty Then,
too, many foreign nations, notably
England, viii make mineral exhibits of
the most complete description Canada
will occupy ten thousand square feet
for its mineral display. Half of it is de-
sired by Ontario province, which in
