They Can Contribute Materially Toward
Making the Kansas Exhibit at Chicag -
Success.
To the end that the farmers of the
state may be stimulated to their best
efforts to make the Kansas exhibit at
the worlds fair a success, Secretary
Mohler, of the state board of agricult-
ure, has issued a circular which con-
tains many valuable suggestions to the
agricultural classes. He advises that
the farmers should select piece of
ground well adapted to the growth Of
given farm product, then by the use
of fertilizers, and the highest culture
known to the art place the ground in
the best possible condition for the pro-
duction of choice products. he also
advises that an agricultural society be
organized in each county where no So
ciety exists now and arrange TO hold a
fair next fall, offering liberal premiums
for the growth of extraordinarily fine
samples of farm products. The
choicest of these should be sent to the
state fair, and all these products should
then be turned over to the board OF
worlds fair commissioners.
again, dS IurLner lQuuceme0L 10 or
ganize agriculture societies, he adds
that by the organization of such So
cieties counties become connected with
the state board of agriculture, being
entitled under certain conditions to a
delegate to the annual meeting of the
board with expenses paid. The dele
gate for the time being is an ex-officio
member of the board and is entitled to
all the rights and privileges of mem-
bers of the board proper. And, be-
sides, in case a fair is held by the
society the law authorizes the pay
ment of $500 from the county treasury
to assist the society in paying
premiums. While in other-years there
may be a question as to whether fair
ought or ought not to be held, thereG
ought to be no question about it this
year. Every county should hold fair
and thus contribute its mite to the sue
success of the Kansas exhibit at the
worlds fair

Very Good.

Sojourners in barbarous countries
find the natives illustrating their talk
with comparisons which sound rather
grim to civilized ears. An employe OF
the Congo Free State writes that he
had in his service a black man who
was almost always accompanied by an
ape, of whom he seemed very fond.
One day the native appeared without
the animal.

The designs for the Kansas state
building, selected by the managers,
were submitted by Seymour Davis.
The building will attract general and
favorable attention among other state
buildings.
The glass dome in the center and the
large conservatory roof over the rear
portion, that is to contain the natural
history exhibit, furnish sufficient light
so that the wall space is not broken
with windows. The construction is so
arranged that general view of the in
side can be had the moment person
enters the building. Ample provision
is made for writing rooms, ladies' and
gentlemen's parlors and lavatOries.
The broad portico, fourteen feet wide,
in front of the second story, is one of
the many good features of the build
ing.

WOMEN IN MIDDLE AGES.
Tire Culture and Refinement of Feudal
Times.

Tire Culture and Refinement of Feudal
Times.
In reality, it is perhaps doubtful
whether modern civilization tends to
produce women of such strength of
character and such intellectual and
social requirements as those who were
the wives and daughters of the lords
and captains of the feudal ages The
art and the literature of the fifteenth
century have immortalized women who
remain models of virtue and refine
ment In the middle ages also, if we
only took the trouble to study them,
we should find that the women of the
Latin nations were extremely cult
waited, and most intimately and affec-
tiouatelv associated with the lives and
the cares of their lords. At least such
appears to have been the case in
France, if we may judge from the ro-
mances, the chronicles, and the poetry
of the twelfth, thirteenth, and four
teenth centuries, and from the evidence
of the splendid monuments of archi-
lecture and the grand old tombs which
have preserved the memories of so
many ladies in sculptured effigies and
eloquent epitaphs. Like the model
of feminine good-breeding depicted by
Castiglione at the court of Urbino. the
ladies of the middle ages had not only
the charm of delicate education and
varied accomplishments, but also manly
sentiments. love of justice, marked
hatred of hypocrites and towards, and
fine independence of character. Their
conversation must indeed have had
great charm, seeing that their feudal
lords remembers it even in the heat
of battle, and looked forward to its
solace as one of the sweets of victory.
Thus Joinville relates in his chronicle
that at the battle of La Massoure, be-
ing hardly pressed by the Saracens,
the count of scissors, who was near
him, said, as he pricked on his horse
and charged the enemy: ''Seneschal,
let the scoun rels yell, for by the
Quote Dieu las he was wont to swear),
you AMI / shall talk about this day
again in the ladies' chambers" or, as
it reads in the quaint old French that

The charm of camping out amid

Thousands of things that were luxuries
