RUSSIAN CROPS.
Halror the Wheat sown FaIlure-Rys
Is also la mRged.


WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. %
More detailed Information than has
heretofore been obtained concerning the
condition OF the Russian grain crop Is
contained in report on the subject to
the state department from United States
Consul Henan at odessa.
He says the crops over an extensive
area have failed. The beginning of the
trouble was the dry winter causing the
failure OF half the wheat sown. With n
favorable spring, and Resolving the
prospects were good, however, almost
up to cutting time, Then came the wet
test season known in years and hail de-
stroyed both ripe and unrlpe grain. In
large areas no effort was made TO har-
vest. Samples OF the new wheat are In
ferlor In quality and weight, The yield
is from four to six bushels per acre for
winter and spring. Barley is dlscolored
and under weight.
Rye Is much damaged and will be
under the average crop. oats alone are
in favorable condition.
Mr.. Henan says that but little wheat
will be shipped from Russia during the
season OF 1S97-'0S, for the simple reason
that there Is little available for ex-
port. The failure OF the wheat crops In
Austro- Hungary, Roumania aud Bull
garia has brought buyers into Russia
from those countries and the wheat will
go TO them by rail. How much of this
wheat Russia can afford to let go Is a
question now being discussed. While
hints are thrown out that the export OF
cereals may be altogether prohibited, the
consul believes they have no foundation
that the Russian government will never
again make the mistake In the famine
year of the prohibiting exports.

The design for this autumn leaf shelf
and screen originated with Los An
geles girl, who Immediately upon her
return home went to retail store and
purchased two pieces of fretwork three
feet long. These she set up each side OF
the mantel With the aid of carpenter
she then had small shelves and glass
doors put In, and couple of secret
drawers to lend charm to the cabinet
When all had been stained a suitable
shade OF pine she took fresh autumn
leaves OF ruddy hue and pinned them
upon the cabinet, and over all she plac-
ed two coats of heavy varnlsh. The
screen was managed in the same way.
The mat" of the screen was plain pine
stained oak, while all around II were
autumn leaves pinned on and vanished.
The leaves keep their color perfectly II

come suggestions Partlenlarly Valuable
In House Cleaning Time.
The season of house cleaning is nigh
at hand and housekeepers generally
will be intent upon having their cur
tains hung in the most effective man
ner. PortIeres or heavy curtains look
best when pinned 90 rings on pole
but thinner, more diaphanous ones, like
Swiss, fishnet, or similar fabric, look
better run with casing and heading
on nickel or brass rod. A metal rod Is
better as the wooden ones give IN the
centre, thus allowing the curtain to sag
and hang uneVenly AT the bottom,
Arabian or Oriental lace npphques
promise to be the lace curtain the com
ing winter for those who can AFFORD the
price Of from $40 up n palr The Amerl-
can woven imitation ones can be mad
for one-quarter the money.
II Is the proper thing now to haveyour
plano open as II just ready for use, anu
with no cover on Its hIghly-polIshed
top The fad of having a lot Of bric-a-
brac on 1t is quite out OF date.
II you are tired of the way your rooms
are arranged, then in the general redls-
tributlon that comes In all well-regula-
ted households twice year bear IN
mind that sameness tires In very short
time and that unevenness and an I'M
studied air will make the general erect
a great deal better, Strive for variety In
arrangement, whether 1t be In pictures,
furniture or bric-a-brac, and be careful
not to have things all one size or one
height or to put one color together.
Mantel draperies are quite passe, pos
sIbly because the newest mantels are
so handsome they need no further
adornment. II you have an time
marble one you wish to cover, make the
covering as soft and simple as possible
Apropos of diversity in arrangement
II Is well to have a difference in the
staple things. For instance, II your
CARPET. wall paper. table cover, ETC., are
all figured the result IS not artistic at
ALI A plain spot somewhere rests the
ewes and improves the look of your fur
nishinns wonderfully. 1t Is attention to
these little details THAI brings success In
everything, housefurnishlnG as well as
everything else. IT'S trihes make up
the sum OF existence.
If you have n Fireplace or CRATE, es-
peclally If 1t Is in the hall or library an
oak settle placed alongside Will enhance
the effect hundred-fold, besides PROV
Ing a great convenience to sit upon. 1t
Is considered much smarter to have 1t
set out at right angles from one side,
than nut with Its back against the wall.
Flat cushions or green corduroy, tutted
with buttons, are the proper thing to
cover the seat, and then you can nave
as many down ones as you fancy ana
In as many different colors rs VIII
blend with the green.
In fact, no one can maintain hish
standard of health unless he breathes
uncontamlnated air into the lungs
whether awake or asleep.

on the other hand, the return OF mix
ed grays and browns to popular favor,
will create demand for brown furs Of
all kinds. moufflon with a brownsh
cast being specially liked. Black and
white feather boas are the principal no.

beige tinted marabout combined with
white or iron gray will also be worn.
And then there are short capes and col
lars in woven plumage which promise
10 be pretty we'll liked.
Embroidered fronts and panels are
seen on many OF the new costumes, both
for day and evening wear, though more
especially for the last named. Most OF
these fronts for skirts have also piece
for the full pouched bodice, decorated
to correspond. The variety of styles TO
choose from is endless, and chenille,
silk, gold, Jet and even aluminium are
used. slngly and in all manner of

My wife and ! are trying hard
To live on healthful diet;
We read the food chart by the yard,
And run our kitchen by H.

All that such guides condemn;
True hygiene Is all our care
As planned and taught by them
For breakfast, coffee is tabooed,
Hot cakes and eggs forbidden,
And milk, since II Is oft imbued
With germs profuse. though hidden;
Bread is unwholesome, 80 Is steak;
Submissive to our lot,
Oatmeal and graham gems we take,
And drink boiled water, hot
For dinner, soup will never do,
And oysters typhoid nourlsh.
Salads. entrees and ices, too
Are mere dysPepHe flourish;
Potatoes (by the best adyice)
Are poisonous, we're told;
We eat rare meat, chopped fine, with rice
And drink boiled water, cold,
For supper-some professors teach
TITS best 10 80 without It,
But since discretion's left TO each
We take our choice about It;
On chicken, watlies. tea and cake,
We are forbid TO feed;
But gluten waters, cocoa (weaD,
And prunes, are all we need,
II grieves us much our friends to view
So reckless In their diet;
Our wholesome menu we pursue
And beg OF them to try Il;
But appetlte's ungodly sway
Their nature 80 enthralls,
We cannot get a guest to stay
Within our healthful walls

COOKING GAME.
Correct Modes for Testing, Preparing
and Serving Wild Fowls.

AS the season app caches when din
ners constitute nest important part
of social functions. a few significant
points on the selection, care and cook
ing of game should prove a timely and
valuable addition &c the most com
plete collection OF receipts. e
The breast of all birds should feel
thick and firm.
When young the legs are smooth and
the quill soft Hen birds are usually
considered the most tender.
Grouse are old IT, when held up by
snap across.
Partridges when young have v
shaped ends to their long wing feath-
ers, dark bills. and yellowish legs.
Pheasants should if cock birds, have
the spurs shoro and round, They re-
quire longer hanging than some kinds
OF game, otherwise they have less fla
vor than a fowl They are really not
worth eating till the blood begins to
run from their bills when hung up by
their feet If really liked high" allow
them to hang till the feathers under
the tail drop.
Woodcock, if kept long, spoils. When
the feathers pull out easily they are
ready for the table.
Birds must be hung in dry place
with a strong current of air through.
They are best tied UP loosely in coarse
muslin or in u gauze hanging meat
safe.
Do not pluck or draw them till re-
quired for cooking. If the weather IS
damp or "muggy," few days Will be
all that you can keep them,
All games reqdires to be quickly
baked or roasted before a clear brisk
fire, and kept thoroughly basted,
especially If it has to be cooked in the
oven Use butter for basting. Never
have it overdone; wild duck and teal
are by many not considered worth eat
ing unless UNDERGONE.
In every case it is an Improvement
to have a slice of raw fat bacon tied
over the breast, il being very impor-
tant to prevent it getting in the least
degree dry or hard A vine leaf Is fire.
Quently placed under the bacon when
cooking blackcocks, quails or ortolan,
When serving game, place slice Of
hot trimmed and buttered toast, cut
into neat divisions for each person
underneath the bird while roasting.
Sauce or gravy must always he handed
separately, not poured into the dish.
A suitable and favorite garnish for
game is watescress, and with plovers,
widgeon, teal and Wild duck slices or
j quarters of lemon nay also be added
The average time for roasting game
! is as follows:
Babcock and pheasants. forty-five
minutes.
Grouse, partridge ptarmigan, thirty
! minutes.
Wild duck, landrail, woodcck. orto-
lans, quail, twenty minutes.
Widgeon, teal, snipe. plovers, fifteen
\ minutes.
Bread Sauce-put half pint milk en-
the fire to boil, put in il a small onion,
in which You have stuck one Glove.
