self out of the snow was a woman, evil
IDENTIFY from the country, on a high
seated farm wagon, driving two horses.
1t wasn't easy getting along but she
made her way with less difficulty than
most of the men, and she appeared
absolutely Indifferent to the stares
with which she was favored. She
wore a comfortable, old-fashionsd
hood. trimmed with fur, and an out-of-
date. thick coat. Over the scat was
spread a homemade patchwork quilt
in bright colors, and the harness had
been frequently repaired with pieces of
stout rope. She had heard that they
were hiring teams in town, work was
dull on the farm, and she needed
money. So she came in to make the
most of the occasion.-New York

is known by its owners name. and no
one else can steal it's sweetness. For
the bath, dainty feminity has violet
water, and after the rubbing, a deli
cately scented violet powder is used.
and there is violet in the tonic for the
hair. Violet tooth washes are used.
and there are even perfumed bonbons.
while tiny rouge pencil for the lips
is violet scented. From the walls Of
a woman's wardrobe hang tufted pads
breathing blossom whiffs of violets. and
every least nook for feminine finery
holds suggestion of violet fragrance.
Tiny sachet bags are tackled here and
there in the frocks, perfumed flannel
goes in strips into the tailor made
gowns, and in nat Innings. while violet
tablets are tucked into Ascot ties and

coat pockets.
Real violets are favored for the cor

Pittsburg News: Though elevators
are not new, they are new to a whole
lot of persons. An old fellow from
somewhere is the client of a lawyer
who recently removed his office from
the first floor of an old building In
Grant street to the thirteenth floor OF
a modern office building. The old TEL
low came in to see him, and after
much trouble found the building. His
legs were stiff and his wind was short,
but he started up the stairs. BY the
time he reached the fourth floor he
declared that he would take his busl-
ness out of the hands Of the man who
was so unreasonable as to live so hlgh.
He took a long rest at the nrtn moor
and would have turned back IL IL
wasn't that he wanted to pay Oh MS
lawyer that very day and retain one
with an office on the ground floor. AT
the seventh floor he gave 1t up. he
couldn't go any higher. He sat on
the steps and watched the elevators
going up and down and noticed that
they were well filed. He reasoned that
since scarcely any person USED the
stairway the fare on the elevators
could not be high, and he could hard
ly be accused Of extravaganza II ne
rode the rest of the way, since there
would be no necessity for him to come
to the building again. So he hailed
one of them. Glow much1l you
charge to take me to the thirteenth
f1oor?" he asked the young man who
seemed to be in charge. "Get in here"
ordered the young fellow, as he seized
him by the coat, pulled him into the
car and started up. Il can't stand
there answerin' fool questions all day.

chap. untying the shoe string that

slammed in his face and the car dis
appeared 'Thunderation" exclaimed
the old fellow. eff I'd a known that 1

His lawyer explained the matter to
him. and while the old man thought
it was mighty handy, he said it looked
a good deal like imposing on people
to be riding up and down free all of
the time.

of the Sixth Auditor at Washington,
where every single transaction of the
entire postal service finds in,l exam
nation. The magnitude Of tie work,
the infinity Of detail, the mastery OF
sy stem is appalling. Five hundred
clerks constitute the working corps.
In 1898 they passed accounts and
claims involving $500 100000 or over
81 500, 900 for each working day. Every
one of the 1850 postmasters submits
quarterly report. Every item, every
figure, every memorandum in each of
these accounts must be subjected to
microscopic scrutiny; every report
passes through the hands of nine sets
OF clerks. Letters by the thousands
and vouchers by the million must be
checked and classified.

Sulu, in consideration of an annual
subsidy of $1,000 and an exemption
of his people from taxation, acknowl-

it really amounted to was that the
Spanish paid an annual tribute to the
sultan. In Mindanao the Spaniards

Even then the other nations of the
world were slow to acknowledge that
the dominions of the sultan of Sulu
belonged to Spain. Finally, by pro-

the suzerainty Of Spain over the Sulu

It is well-trained muscles that give

walk in a becoming manner his legs
must be strong enough in every part
to carry the body with ease and keep

some Of his leg muscles are f1abby and

THE GRASS WORM.

Portions of Chicago show the devas-
tating power of the grass, or fall
army worm, in an alarming way. The
lawns in entire blocks are as barren of
grass as if a seed or sod had never
touched them. In two or three days
time beautiful lawn would be swept
clean of verdure and the grass plant
utterly destroyed. Nebraska has re-
ported an extensive visitation of the
pest in that state, and, as is usually the
case, next year will probably witness
a widespread destruction by this some
what unfamiliar invader. 1t is not the
regular army worm, and while passing
under the name Of false army worm,
a more proper designation is that of
grass worm. In Nebraska it was
noticed that it would pass around
wheat fields in order to reach alfalfa,
which up to the present time has been
believed to be practically exempt from
the attacks of such insects. 1t will,
however, feed upon wheat, if nothing
more agreeable to it's taste offers. Fall
blowing is the best remedy, for the in
sect passes the winter IN an earthen
shell just below the surface of the
ground, and if this cell is broken and
the chrysalis exposed to the action of
the elements, it will hardly develop in
the spring; and If it is turned under to
depth of six inches the conditions
will be very unfavorable to it's develop
ment. Packing the surface of the soil,
after blowing, with the roller, is
strongly recommended and is a valu-
able suggestion. The treatment of in
jured lawns and permanent pastures
consists of soaring the surface with an
iron rake in the one case and with the
harrow in the other.
