The Necessity for shelter on the
Farm.
This has been a season that has
demonstrated to the farmer, whose
principal crop is wheat, the necessity
of shelter for his grain. AT least one
half the wheat crop of Southeast Mis-
souri, is yet standing in shocks in the
fields and it is damaged so that it will
not bring the farmer more than half
the money he would have received for
it had it been stored away in barns
and under sheds. What the farmer
has lost this year on his wheat alone
would pay for the building of shelter
to shelter all the grain and hay on his
farm.
The farmers of the wheat growing
sections of Illinois never allow their
wheat to remain in the fields after it
is harvested. They are up to date
farmers. They farm for profit and by
taking care of what they raise they
get better profits than our farmers get
for the reason that the product of their
farms is in better condition when it is
sent to market

TWO WOMEN on WHEELS.

California is the proud State which
boasts rs its residents two fearless
women who took an eight days bicy-
cling tour alone. They are Mrs.
George Faulkner and Miss Victoria
Wilson, of Oakland, and they have
recently covered themselves with glory
by wheeling through Mendocino, Lnke
and Sonoma Counties unattended.
Their only protector was pistol

Mrs. Faulkner and Miss Wilson car

complete suit of navy blue.
Mrs. Faulkner and Miss Wilson
started on their journey from Sausa-
Ito and rode by easy stages through
San Rafael, Petaluma and Healdsburg
to Cloverdale, and reached Ukiah in
three days time. At Ukiah they
spent couple OF days with friends
and started on their return trip few
hours before a heavy rainstorm. The
rain began while they were en- route
and created frightful roads all the
way down through the hills. Not
withstanding the heavy travelling no
difficulty was encountered except at
what is known MS the Pleta grade. The
incline there is one of the most pre-
cipitious in the State and gave the
two riders considerable trouble, and
they were covered with mud and
trenched with rain when they walked
into the hotel at nightfall. In spite of
this they are enthusiastic over their
trip and are planning more extended

Dining In PnIesiinc.

A very large circular tray of timed
copper, placed on coarse wooden
stool about foot high, served as O
table. In tho centre of this stood
another big tray, with mountain of
pilaii, composed of rice boiled and
buttercd with small pieces of meat
strewn through and upon IL. This
was the chief dish, though there were
other smaller dishes, both meat and
vegetable. Ten persons sat around
the table or rather squattod on the
carpet, with their knees drawn up
close to their bodies. Each had be.
fore him a plate of timed copper and
n wooden spoon, which some used
without the plate. Most, however,
preferred TO use the fingers of the left
hand, several dipping their hands to.
gether into the dish, as the disciples
did at the Last Supper.
As soon rs any one had finished,
he rose and went into another room,
to have water poured over his hands
to wash them, aud the vacant place
at the table was instantly filled by a
newcomer. The bread, l may say,
was laid on the mat under the tray,
30 as to be easily reached; and jar
of water, the only beverage used dur
ing the meal, stood within reach. Be-
sides rice, stews of beans Or cracked
wheat, with thick soup or sauce poured
over them in the great central bowl,
are also in fashion. Spoons, though
sometimes provided, are often, want
ing-pieces of thin bread, doubled,
serving instead. Knives and forks
are unknown; and as there is no
special dining.room, there is no fur
niture suited for one. Hence tables
and chairs are never seen. The meat
being always cut up into small pieces,
there is no need for knife, and
chickens can easily be torn asunder
with the hands. SO far, indeed, are
Orientals from thinking it strange to
dip their fingers into the common
dish, that 1t is special act of polite
ness to grope in 1t for the visitor, and
lay nice morsels before him, or even
to insist ON putting them into his
mouth. From HOLY Land and the

OF destroying the eggs has been
adopted. Instead of cutting the nest
from the tree, it is saturated with
creosots just as it stands, aud thus
every egg is surely killed. The moths
are being held well in check this
year, and they have not yet spread to
any new territory. There is n proba-
bility, says Professor E. H. Forbush,

robins, were decimated by the severe
weather, and the bluebirds also lost
life largely. 1t is rare this year, he
says, to see bluebird in the North.

ENAMELED LADIES.

1t is rumored that lady of con-
spicuous standing in Chicago society
has recently been in Paris for the pur-
pose of being re-enamcled. IL is said
that this lady was enameled for the
first time four years ago. The art of
enameling the face and bust is most
skillfully practiced by certain Parisinn
experts, but even the work of these
geniuses does not last forever the
woman who once submits to the pro-
ceeding has, in all self-defensc, to re-
turn to Paris every fourth year to be
re-enameled, for the enamel, when it
wears off, leaves the skin SO parched
and yellow that it can never recover
its natural elasticity or natural color.
The earlier attempts at enameling the
human skin impaired doll-like ex.
preston to the face and prevented
play of the facial muscles. The art
has progressed and been improved to
such an extent that the ennmelee can
now smile, laugh and express every
variety of emotion without danger to
her bogus complexion or to herself.
The process of enameling is n very
delicate one and involves q considera-
BILE expenditure of time and of money.
