horseback riding; they spurn the side
saddle and ride astride, or astraddle,
astridlands, or umpstridden, or what

excites attention, and it is teleyrapheG

A Very Good Showing Is Made by.
Minnesota.
Washington, June 1.-THE report of
June 1, consolidated from the returns of
the correspondents of the agricultural de-
ps rtment, makes the acreage of winter
wheat sown compared with that which
was harvested last year SO per cent, b.
ing decrease of 1 per cent. There is
az increase of acreage as compared with
1898 in but ten states the principal part
of which was made in Kansas and Hi
rois. The percentages of spring wheat
acreage of the principal states are: Min
nesota, 81; Nebraska, 81; South Dakota
IS; North Dakota, 80. The average per-
certage of acreage for both spring and
Writer wheat for the whole country is
05.3, making total area of 53,OOO,OOO
aces. The conditions of spring wheat
gives an average for the entire country
of SO per cent, and for the principal
srring wheat states as follows: Wis
ccnsin 90; Minnesota, 80; Iowa, 80; Ne,
braska, "A; South Dakota, 70; North Da-
kota, 81; Washington, 80; Oregon, &C.
The preliminary report places the aver
age Of oats at nearly one point less than
last year. The general average for the
whole country is 99.1. The peach crop
commercially considered is practically a
failure. The condition of apples is rather
better than that of peaches. No fruit is
expected in the Piedmont and Ohio val
ley districts and but little in the Missouri
belt. Prospects are brighter in the noun
tain and Pacific states.

The woman who tries to keep her
youth and her beauty by following the
advice Of other people must have
hard time. In yesterdays papers, for
example, there were, in the two cities
Of New York and Boston, not less than
six columns of directions from various
authorities pointing the way to have
good skin, good hair and bright eyes.
No two rules were the same; all seem
ed plausible, and some of them attrac-
tive. The result is women for they al
ways study and follow directions Of
that sort-try all methods, and be-
tween so much good advice ruin their
looks and their temperS.
