commission. We soldiers fight for

rectory won't last. However. the die is
cast There IS nothing more TO be done.
BY refusing Bonaparte's offer De Gex
has made an enemy who neither forgets
nor forgives."
Then De Gex is going to be shot
merely for offending Bolaparte?"
II did not say that; but you can
draw your own conclusions. am afraid
you also have offended him.
why? How could know that De
Gex would refuse an offer which gave
him his life?"
But the general will say that you
ought to have known. He may even
imagine that De Gex has placed you in
communication with some of his royal
ist friends and that You are in sympathy
with them. The best thing you can do
is to keep out of his way for few
days"
This was my own opinion II had
lost his favor because De Gex had re-
fused his offer of a commission in the

LIVE STOCK.
The wonderful grass-growing quail
ties of the state attracted at an early
day the attention of stockmen, and
Missouri now ranks very high in live
stock production-noto only as q producer
of ordinary beef cattle, but as foster
ing some of the most famous herds in
the world. This is especially true of
shorthorn, Aberdeen and Jersey cattle.
Missouri is also becoming famous for
fine horses of all kinds, especially for
fine saddle stock. Much attention has
also been given to the breeding of
draught and trotting horses, and the
state is well known to be one of the
great mule-breeding centers of the
world. Berkshires and Poland China
swine are bred with great sue
cess, and in the matter of sheep
Missouri has within her borders the
finest flock of Merinos in the United
States. There has been set aside $20.-
600 by the Missouri Worlds fair COM
mission to be given in premiums to
ton to any national awards or Worlds
fair prizes that they may capture.
MINES AND MINING.
The mineral endowment of Missouri
has been little understood and less APP
preciated until quite recently. Few
states, if any, have more valuable or
more extensive deposits of minerals of
commercial value than Missouri has.
Among them may be mentioned
iron, zinc, lead, coal, copper, baryta
and clays and shales of many varieties.
Also inexhaustible quantities and a
great variety of granite, onyx, marble,
sandstone, limestone and building
stone. specimens of which have been
gathered and arc now in readiness for

Immediately this entire collection will
be gone over. That is to say, skilled
workmen will be employed to select the
finest and best .straws from each bun
die, stripping the leaves carefully and
tying the straws in artistic bundles OF
eI& or inches in diameter. A great
deal of the fine grain and grasses that
you see will be used by our artists in
working out various designs.
Mr.. William Boache, who has charge
of this work, is a professional land
scape gardener, graduated from the
highest schools of training in Germany.
He was for five years in the imperial
gardens at Pottsdam: later chief floral
decorator in the crystal palace, Lon
don, and in this country has done some
very high-class work at various expo
sitions, receiving gold medal and
diploma at the Worlds fair in New Or
leans. He is unquestionably one of the
most skillful men in America in the
manipulation of flowers. He can re-
produce in grains and grasses almost
any beast, bird or reptile in existence,
and can construct architectural designs
of any kind with like material

time. the collection embracing all kinds

state. The Worlds fair opens before
the fruits of 1898 begin to ripen, and
hence the necessity of preparing speci-
mems of the fruit crop of 1891 for exhi-
bition. For this purpose there Were
provided 1000 glass jars of artistic de-
sign, ranging in size from / 4 inches in
diameter and 6 inches in height to 9
inches in diameter and So inches
high. The fruits have been pre-
served in these jars in anti
septic fluids with the most pro-
nounced success IN the basement OF
the Main street building is q large as
sortment of fruits including straw
berries, raspberries, cherries, peaches.
goOseberries, apricots, nectarines,
ounces, pears and grapes. and a large
collection of fine vegetables. These
form u most attractive exhibit The
specimens all look as fresh and natural
as if just gathered, and as evidence
that their condition would remain un-
impaired. the commissioner exhibited
specimens that have been preserved by
the same process fer eight years.
The collection of peaches is stored at
Olden. It is said to be very high
order, and was mostly obtained from the
O1den fruit farm, which contains the
finest peach orchards in the world.
A feature of the horticultural exhibit
will be bird's-eye view of this farm
in Howell county. The view consists
of a painting done in oil by skilled
artist at the urgent request of J. NJ.

commissioner explained, were pro

order to show the productive versatility
of Missouri soil. Among other things
the collection embraces 1874 varieties OF
wheat, both in the straw and threshed.
and over 200 varieties of native and
cultivated grasses, all very fine and
well prepared. The collection of tim
othy is pronounced by competent au-
thorities the best ever seen. There are
some 40 varieties of Indian corn,
nearly as many of sorghum, and over

corn and castor beans are conspicuous
among the collection, and all give evil
dence of having been selected by an
expert.
The products stored at Columbia
were raised on the state agricultural
farm under the direction of DIR. Edward
Porter. dean of the agricultural col
lege and director of the national agri-
cultural experiment station for the
state of Missouri. He has taken a deep
and enthusiastic interest in this dis
play. and though the season at the out
set was very unfavorablc, yet he sue
ceeded admirably with large num-
Der of specialties that he has
prepared especially for the Worlds
fair. There have been many valu-
able contributions from individu1 farm
crs throughout the state. and they are
still coming in. In fact but a very
small portion of the corn contributed
by sundry individuals has yet been re-
ceived.

In addition to these crude minerals,

FORESTRY.
The magnitude and economic value
of the forest resources of Missouri are
scarcely appreciated by her own peo-
pie, and few are aware that forestry
products are consigned to many of the
| worlds ports direct from mills situated
| in this state This exhibit will consist
| of sections of logs of all the
woods of commercial value indig-
enous to Missouri. In the Main
street warerooms are four car
| loads of sectional logs awaiting
shipment to Chicago. The more i'm
| pcrtant commercial timbers have been
secured in duplicate sections. One OF
these sections will be squared up. y
That is to say. the bark will be sawed
| off and the four sides of the timber
| subjected to various l1ins of treatment,
showing the different degrees of finish
to which the various woods are sus.
ceptible. The other section will be ex-
hibited in the bark and treated SO es
| to show transverse. radia1, tangential
and oblique sections.
The feature of the exhibit will be
specimens of the entire ligenous flora
cf the state. Many of these will have
small interest for the masses of the peo-
| pie, but an inexhaustive exhibit would
be incomplete without them. I'm
fortunately only 1000 fee. OF space has
been awarded Missouri in the forestry
building, but it is hoped that this will
be enlarged, especially as it is expected
to likewise exhibit at Chicago specimens
of the abnormally large trees known

HOW TO REST.

Good Advice to Housewives Who Need
Rest.
s Housewives are apt to think they
can not afford to spend much time in
resting. Can they afford not to spend
some? It seems to me that they make
a mistake also in the manner of taking
their rest Changing works is not real
ly resting. in spite of all we read to the
contrary; nor is reading. It may be
resting few muscles that have been
on the strain, but how about, the
nerves? Any work requires nervous
force. Therefore, a few minutes of alb
solute rest, in recumbent position
with closed eyes, is worth more than
hours of changed work." Snch rest
rests the whole body ut once. Nothing
is better for them who have little time
to spare, because it accomplishes so
much and SO quickly.
Such little rests, taken frequently
through the day. will make everything
GO easier and save your youth.
When n woman has to be on her feet
a good deal she finds her feet are the
tired part of her body. How they will
ache at night of ironing day! Let me
tell you how to be refreshed and made
as good as new. When the work Ia
done go lie down and put your feet up
as high as possible. Rest them against
something high. 1t won't take 30 very
long of that sort of thing to make you
feel as though you had had a good
nights sleep. If you have time to
battle them in quite warm water so
much the better. but the position is the
important thing.
The cause of the fatigue and pain Is
that the blood vessels are weary and do
not return the blood promptly enough.
Raising the feet lets the blood run
back of itself or by the attraction of
gravitation. Also, stroling the feet
and limbs upward will help. As tho
valves of the blood vessels open to-
ward the heart, stroking with instead
of against is an aid to the circulation.
Does your family charge you with
being cross, o, tired mother? Or, IL
they are too considerate to do that,
does your own conscience twit you?
Then consider the condition OF youy
nerves. Cross people are nervous poo
pie. Perhaps you are not sleeping
enough. There is nothing like sleep TO
cure nervousness. Don't be SO thrifty
that you rise too early. and, by getting
your homework done before your
neighbor. get also q wrinkle In your
forehead and sharp voiee.---Atlanta
