Corn EleIda Ruined bv Rain.

Abilene, Kas., July 5.-The
corn fields of this part of the
state are in bad condition ow-
ing to the weeds and the lack
of cultivation. The farmers
have been in the wheat for ten
days and are not yet done. 1t
will take them another week,
and then they will hurry the
threshing. In the meanwhile
the weeds have grown very
fast, and as the wet weather in
the earlier part of the season
kept the cultivators out of the
fields, the weeds were given a
good chance to get the start of
the corn. Some fields are SO
bad that they have been aban-
doned. Some farmers have a
force nf men at work cutting
the weeds with knives III hope
of saving the crop.
Pimples and Blotches on the face
are most unsightly things to look at

be entirely removed by using Beggs'

MAGNErIZED CARDS.
A Clever Trick Done by the Aid of Shoes
makers Wax.

MIXERS WAN
There are fakirs going about this
town pretending to have the ability to
magnetic pack Of cards, and in that
way to be ahlo to hold a whole pack
suspended from the palm nf the hand
with apparently no othp ,"npurt, says
the New York Sun, Iar faRir frat
shows pack of playinI cards Of the
ordinary type, and invites the by
ISLANDERS to examine thsm. After the
examination has been completed, the
fakir lays the pack down in front OF
him. anu placing his left palm down
ward on table, takes up the cards,
ons by one, nnn tucbs them under his
hand. The first card is put in under
his tiLgers the next one parallel with
this under the main part of the palm.
and the next two are tucked under the
sides of his hand but on top of the
ends of the first two. Then, In order,
all the others are tucked in. between
these four and the hand. When they
| hand carefully to tho edge OF the tahls
aud then clear Of 1t, and the cards all
remain suspended. When a sufficient
amount Of wonder has been produced
by the trick. the fakir offers to sell the
secret OF 1t to anyone for Is cents.
The trick is clever, but it can be
done without buying the secret from
the fakir. TIE secret lies in having a
button concealed in the hand, which
has bit of shoemaker's wax stuck to
the centre OF it. Just before beginning
to place the cards under the left hand,
the hutton ID stuck fast TO the palm OF
that hand, little way back from the
fingers. The first two cards are go
placed that their inner edges are tucked
under this button. The button holds
these cards In place, ami they hold all
the others Closing The hand will cause
the cards to drop, and at the same
time loosen the button from tho palm
so that it can be got out OF sight.
