sOIJrHwEsr WHEAT CROP.

+ SOUTHWEST WHEAT CROP.
1t iS widely reported and generally be-
lieved that the prospects for wheat re-
auction in Kansas. Oklahoma ana rex
rs are not very good
The claim is made that Kansas Will
not produce more than 2O,00O,O00 bu OF
wheat this season. That is wonderful
Dhrinkage from the large production or
tome recent years. When that state ex-
seeded all others in yield. The amount
raised last year despite the poor pros
poets and comparatively small returns.
reached according to the government
figures above 35,00O,00O bushels. and the
government is never charged In general
with overestimating the production OF
wheat Yet in single state plumbers
ire sometimes made and results reached
uuite different from the intended. An in
stance of that kind is noted IN south Da-
kota in the report of It's wheat yield Tor
1884, That state was then credited with
production of approximately 100000 blu,
when according to the best figures OBJ
tainable, reckoning from distribution,
yield was but little more than half that.
So q larger production for Kansas may
have been estimated last year than dis
.ribution will reasonably sustain. Tnere
have been heavy rains in Kansas but
too recent to justify confident estimates
Of q possible outturn Of crops consequent
npon them. The latest information OF
reliable character does sustain the claims
Of very poor prospect. 1t has been re-
ported turning yellow and suffering much
from dry weather in very many counties.
The situation is so bad that fields in
very large portion Of the state are put
Into other crops. Moisture now may eff
feet the prospect materially where there
ls enough vitality remaining to establish
q basis for desired results. 1t is too early
to speak confidently Of possibilities. but
at best all that southwest wheat growing
country promises very modest yield.

Spicer, the Duchess of Westmoreland, and
Miss Musgrave always use the rover.
Bantam is also great favorite with the
ladies, who are adopting it very freely;
but perhaps the most popular "steel steed"
with them is the Beeston Humber, which
is ridden by most of our aristocratic
cyclistes. The Duchess OF Portland, the
Duchess of Westmoreland, the Duchess OF

Lady Jeune is very practical wheel
woman, doing much of her shopping on
her machine, and advising every one to
become amateurs of this mode OF loco
motion.
At one of the schools where ladies are
taught the professor has instituted
musical bicycle ride, which includes some
very charming movements, such as cir
cling, crossing and fancy figuring. At
another establishment the pupils are al
lowed to use up-to-date pneumatlc-tlred
machines, each being so adjusted as to SUIT
the characteristics of the individual rider
On the whole, ladies are very quick In
learning the exercise, oftentimes mastering
it in six lessons. In school it is easier to
acquire the knack of balancing and of
turning quickly than out in the open.
Among the most recent recruits to the fas-
cinating and fashionable pastime are Lady
Mills, Lady Colin Campbell, the Duchess
of Manchester Lady Norreys, Lady Lur-
gan, the Countess of Rosslyn, Sir Gerald
Portals widow, Lady Florence Bourke,
Lady Fairburn, Lady George Hamilton,

AT swell wedding just before Lent the
bridesmaids costumes were very much adj
mired. They consisted of plain, rich white
satin skirts and Louis XIV coats OF heavy
white brocade, trimmed with antique
rhinestone buttons and pendants set in
in gold. The hats were of white velvet
trimmed with white ostrich feathers and
pink roses. The bouquets were of pink
roses. The coats showed lining of rose
pink silk.
A bride who will be married very quietly
intends to wear gray crepon made in a
strictly simple style, with a crush collar of
violet velvet. The hat to be worn with
this costume is French creation in tones

silk.
Violet is so becoming to this little woman
that she has ordered gown in a violet
shade OF face cloth. The yoke and waist
will be trimmed with an applique of jet

velvet and edged with mink tail. The
skirt is fill and absolutely plain.

velvet with an applique of white satin, on
which the velvet is laid in a design; the
satin is covered all over with Jet There
are large arm holes, and the arm is COW

bons. The skirt is cut in the newest style,
and its only trimming is great bow OF

bodice is arranged with chiffon and the
sleeves have cape-like epaulette of lace.
She also has bodice of white chiffon en-
broidered in silver sequins. A crescent OF
wild roses is arranged as an epaulette over
each shoulder, and the balloon sleeves
have, nesting in their snowy pillows, a
few roses with their foliage. The soft
