An Agricultural College.

The main lever which is to lift agri-
culture from its present depression is
scientific farming. When farmers learn
how to stop wastes and raise larger crops
at less cost, they will begin to pros
per, even if prices do not rise much
higher. 1t is discouraging perhaps, but
there is no immediate prospect that the
price of anything will be much higher
for some time to come.
The state university of Missouri has
connected with it an agricultural college
of rare excellence. 1t aims to supply
just what the practical farmer needs to
make him understand how to make the
most of his opportunities. There are
three courses. One covers three
months winter term and is designed to
give instruction in practical work to
young men who have not time or means
to remain longer. Even farm laborers
will be able to attend this course.
Then comes q two years course.
Young people 16 or over who have q
kOOQ COIuulOu SCLOOl SuuCdJiOu dk6 dU-
mitted to this class. General education
is added to the specific farm knowledge
they gain in this course, and particular
attention is paid to training in the nat
ural sciences. The four years course 10
still broader and fits students to become
farm engineers, agricultural chemists,
botanists, veterinarians or farm superin-
tendents. Young men educated to fill
such places have no difficulty in finding
them.
Finally, after young man has finished
the four years study and received his
diploma of bachelor of agriculture from
the Missouri state university, he may
take still postgraduate course of two
years for specific study and research,
at the end of which he will be master
of agriculture and will be capable of be-
coming professor of agriculture on his
own account.

A Queer Lot.

Not everybody is aware that there has
existed for centuries among the white
people of this country class more curl
GUS than any of the foreigners exhibited
in the Midway plaisance or the side
shows of the Worlds fair. These are the
clay eaters of Georgia, a race peculiar
to themselves. From the child 2 years
old to the patriarch of many winters
this horrible appetite for clay manifests
itself among them. Many of these
strange mortals live among the hills of
the Oconee, south of Milledgeville, in
the vicinity of tumble down old town
called Scotsborough. It is only few
miles from Milledgeville, but it is as far
away from civilization as Eskimoland for
all practical purposes.
The clay eaters live in the lowest state
of poverty and care for nothing better
apparently. The soil of their region is a
whitish clay, mingled with sand beds.
The clay they eat is not that ordinarily
found, but is fine white, lumpy kaolin,
something like soapstone. II is said to
contain arsenic, and that is why the people
eat it. At any rate, the habit is as fixed
as that Of opium eating or whisky drink
ing, and no work of philanthropy or re-
igion has ever been able to rouse these
miserable beings from the lethargy into
which clay eating has kept them for CEN
turies. They look like deaths head
and crossbones, 80 cadaverous and skel-
etonlike are they. Ordinary methods of
making living are unknown among
them practically. Besides the clay they
partake literally of moonshine whisky,
but they consume little grain, vegeta-
bles or meat. The clay seems to stupefy
and satisfy them, paralyzing all desire
for effort. While anthropologists and
biologists are penetrating the four corners
of the globe they ought to spend some
time investigating this strange American
product, the clay eater.

THE STAMP OF STYLE.

Black and white effects are still the
rage.
Blouse waists In every style were never
in greater favor than at the present time.
Very pretty shepherds check changea-
able silks are used for fancy waists,
blouse vests and accessories on plain fine
wool gowns.
Wide, plainly cut skirts, with one very
wide box plait in the back or three futed
plaits, are trimmed with narrow folds or
rows of braid.
Some Of the new white wool capes are
collaretted and lined with white moire,
and frequently there are parasol and
sailor hat en- suite.
Butter colored laces remain in high
vogue, and among the choice garnitures
used by Partisan dressmakers are ecru
silk laces outlined with gold thread.
In arranging the hair the parted locks
over the forehead are most liked, but
they must be slightly waved and brushed
back in an easy fashion to look as natu-
raj as possible.
Among the stylish black hats are those
showing combination of chip and nea-
politan braid and trimmed with accor-
dion plated black silk muslin damask
roses and jet aigrets.
Plain and dotted pique or linen duck
is made up for street suits for the sum-
mer. Sometimes the dotted material
forms the costume and the plain pique
the vest, and vice versa.
Fayetta costumes are made up by fash
ionable dressmakers as skirt and bolero
jacket to wear with shot and dotted taf-
feta or surah silk waist, or else one Of
plain corded silk of some becoming shade
striped with lace insertion.

The wheat crop of the republic of Ura-
quay has more than doubled since 1891.
Thus we have not only Egypt, India and
Russia as rival wheat raisers, but we
must in future look to come into COM
petition with many Of the states of South
America. The only important rise in
the price of wheat is to be expected when
we are populous enough to need all our
own crop at home.

1t was left for Senator John Sherman
to discover that the income tax bill as
passed by the house could be interpreted
to impose tax on building association
funds. He recommended amending the
bill SO it should explicitly exempt bona
fide building and loan associations in
which wage earners deposited their saw
ings for the purpose of getting homes for
themselves.
