Iowa is now putting on her beautiful

Iowa is now putting on her beautiful
robes, far SURPRISING in gorgeousness
of tint and perfection of outline, the
most marvellous creations of the mil
liner and modiste. The giddy naples,
elms and box alders will rush the season
and be in full dress long before the
staid and sober oaks show an inclina
ton to bedeck themselves; but the
oaks will stand, comfortably clad in
rassett and gold, monuments of their
stability, long after their gay sisters
have been naked and shivering in the
blasts of winter.
Magic is not circumstance when it
comes to natures grand work of cloth
ing the fields and rehabilitating the
trees of the orchards and woods.
How beautiful as well is the unfold
ing of tiny leaf. However closely we
may watch the swelling bud, it is sell
dom the human eye witnesses the birth
of a leaf or flower. Tonight it is a
tender bud, tomorrow morning it is an
ambitious leaf, stretching out its sweet
unfoldings to the rain, wind and sun.
How beautiful 1T all seems. These
transformations are one of natures
sacred mysteries. For some reason she
hides the process of her secret from
carless eyes, revealing only to her wor-
shippers.
She is good mother and gives to all
her children the measure of their under
standing. Her bloomings and her fad
ings do not vary, and her face is ever
turned to those who would enter into
her sanctuary with unshod feet.-Sioux

Impossible to Tell Infantry From
Cavalry Ut Two Thousand Yards.
"Unless they have had experience, Z"
remarked an army officer, people are
very likely to- have very imperfect
idea as to distances in army and field
operations and as result get things
considerably mixed. When they read
that armies are engaging with each 9TH
or at 2,000 yards between them, they
may think that they can see each other.
but the Ieal. far different.
f. Al thai sS aissSss.D b, to tie naked eye,
a man or horse does not look any
larger than a speck. It Is impossible to
distinguish ut that distance between q
man and horse, and at 800 yards less,
1900 yards, especially where there is
any dust, it requires the best kind Of
eyes to tell infantry from cavalry. At
900 yards the movements become clear
er, though it is not until they get with
in 750 yards of each other that tho
heads of the columns can be made out
with anything like certainty.
Infantry can be seen in the sunlight
much easier than the cavalry or artil-
lery, for the reason that less dust is
raised. Besides that, infantry can be dis
tinguished by the glitter Of their mus.
kets. At 1000 yards, however, every
thing is unsatisfactory, even with the
aid of field glasses, for marching col
umn in dry weather raises great deal
Of dust "-Washington Star.

There is a pretty romance connected
with the recent sale of theMurray interest
of the Nashua Reporter and it all came
about the editorial pilgrimage to Den
yer less than year ago. Among the
editors who had left their scissors, their
paste bottles and their quilts for sea-
son of travel and enjoyment was Miss
Nina Murray, editor of the Reporter.
After working hard she entered into
the spirit of the trip cordially and had
q delightful time. At Cripple Creek
the company stopped for visit to this
modern home of Midas, gold and casu-
atty to visit the great Cripple Creek
mine. While in the city Miss Murray
met a Mr.. Schweinberger.
1t was now a case of love at first
sight and Schweinberger is responsible
for causing the district to lose the
"Woman in White" He wrote to her,
of course, upon her return and came
twice to see her, which is evidence
enough in our mind that she answered
the letters. Now she has sold her paper
and they are to be married soon. The
gentleman is we'll to do and interested
in Cripple Creek mining industry, but
that would make little difference with
the "Woman in White" 1t she wanted
Mr.. Schweinberger she would take him,

Well In the middle of the grounds
stands General Anderson's headquar-
ters. As we went up the steps tall
man, rather shabbily dressed, preceded
us. We noticed his military bearing
and were told that he was the captain
of one of the Spanish men. of-war which
lies with projecting spars at the bottom
of Cavite harbor. Following his foot
steps, we Of necessity overheard what
he said to the generals aid:
"Senor. I borrowed, some time ago,
5000 from Admiral Dewey to pay off
my men. I have come to repay the
debt" J"
He turned his profile toward us, and
we noticed how thin he looked. He
must have starved himself to collect
the money. With very straight back,
he counted out the Spanish bills and
turned to CO.
"Will you not take receipt" asked
the aid Of General Anderson.
"Never from an officer" answered
the gray haired old gentleman, with o
courtly old fashioned bow.

lero.-Harper's Weekly.

Mrs. Kelley of Conshocken, Penn
sylvania had appropriated pig that
was claimed by her neighbor. Mr.. X.
placed the porcine in her pen, raised the
American flag over it, and when the
neighbor came for his pig knocked him
down with a clothes pole. She was ar
rested for An assault and set up as de-
Tense that the complainant was making
q disloyal attack on the flag of her coun-
try. The jury acquitted her. Why not !?
If itis disloyal to haul down the flag that
has been raised over territory that has
been acquired without the consent of
its inhabitants, as in the Philippines,
why not equally so when it has been
raised over wrongfully acquired pig.
Is not the principle the same whether
the flag be defended by clothes pole
or a rapid firing gun over a pig or Ma
nila? AT least Mrs. Kelley was equal
to the emergency and has readily ad-
justed herself to the newly declared
ideas and principles of Imperialism.

Lining Butter Tubs.

The lining should be put in dry.
First place circle in position, then bring
the two ends of the side together and
put lining in the tubs, then with one
circular movement of the hand the lin
ing is well in contact with the wood to
which it must adhere before packing is
commenced. Hold the lining against
the tub with one hand, throwing water
between the lining and the tub with the
other, turning your tub from left to
right until the circuit is made. To
make 1t more complete pour about
quart of salt water into the tub and
hold in such position that by rotary
motion the water comes in contact
with the entire inside surface of the
tub. You will find your lining in per-
feet position and that it has been done
with dispatch.-Dairy Reporter.

Hens and Cows.

From $50 to $50 year is considered
a fair profit from good COW, and she
will take up three acres of ground.
She must be MIXED every day and on
Sunday, have her food regularly, her
stall cleaned and other word performed,
such as skimming the milk, churning,
etc. One hundred good hens on an acre
of ground will produce nearly twice as
much as a COW, and yet if the houses
are to be cleaned daily, and one tenth
of the work given them that is done for
one COW on three acres, the complaint
would arise that poultry requires too
much care; yet if the poultry are not
housed and their roosts cleaned often,
how can the poultryman expect them to
be free from lice and disease, or prove
profitable? All the difficulties are not
with the poultrymen. The dairymen
have their troubles, but they work hard
and make their business pay.-Farm

THE sERFs OF RUSSIA.
N1seeing Them wns One of the Du-
ties of the Police,


Father will not be appeased, says
Prince Kropotkin in The Atlantic. He
calls in Makar, the piano tuner and
subbutler. and reminds him of all his
recent sins. He was drunk last week
and must have been drunk yesterday,
for he broke half q dozen plates. In
fact, the breaking Of these plates was
the real cause of all the disturbance.
Stepmother had reported the fact to ia.
ther in the morning, and that was why
Uliana was received with more scold-
ing than was usually the case why the
verification Of the hay was undertaken
and why father continued to shout that
"this progeny Of Ham" deserved all the
punishments on earth.
All Of sudden there is lull in the
storm. My father has taken his seat at
the table and writes note to the police
station. "Take Makar with this note
to the police station, and let 100 lashes
with the birch rod be given to him.
Terror and absolute muteness reign
in the house.
The clock strikes 4, and we all go
down to dinner, but no one has any ap-
petite, and the soup remains in the
plates untouched. We are ten at table,
and behind each one Of us violinist or
a trombone player stands, with clean
plate in his left hand, but Makar is not
among them.
where is Makarp" stepmother asks.
Call him in"
Makar does not appear, and the order
is repeated. He enters at last, pale,
with distorted face, ashamed, his eyes
cast down. Father looks into his plate,
while stepmother, seeing that no one
has touched the soup. tries to encourage
us.
"Don't you find. children" she says,
THAT the soup is delioious?',.
Tears suffooate me, and Immediately
after dinner is over I run out, catch
Makar in dark passage and try to
kiss his hand, but he tears 1t away and
says, either as reproach or as ques-
ton, LET me alone. And you, too,
when you are grown up, will be just
the samep"
mo, no; never!"
Yet father was not of the worst Of
landowners. On the contrary, the serv.
ants and the peasants considered him to
be one of the best. What we saw in
our house was going on everywhere,
often in much more cruel forms. The
fogging Of the serfs was regular part
of the duties Of the police.

An Acre ofuorn

In an acre of corn, planted in hills at
the usual width of rows, there are lit
tie over 5000 hills. If each hill pro-
duces An average of one good ear, or
two small ears, weighing 10 ounces of
corn and cob, the yield of that acre will
be "a bushels, or little more than the
average yield of corn for the past l5
years. If each hill produces a single
nubbin weighing ounces of corn and
cob, the yield will be two-thirds, or 81
per cent. of our average. So when we
use the descriptive terms, "half crop"
or "two-thirds, of CROP" We should be
careful to explain little more clearly
what we mean by full crop or an
average. There is q vast deal of wild,
indefinite talk about crops and there
is need Of more specific Statements

Glover and rimothu Flaw

Glover unless cut before it reaches
the blossoming state will have when
dried from seven to ten per cent, of al
buminoids, which makes it very nu-
tritious ration. Timothy, when in its
best state, which is little before it
has blossomed, has only four to five per
cent. of albuminoids. If it stands until
dead ripe most of these are changed to
woody fiber, which is very hard to di-
gest. The second growth of clover is
much richer than the first. 1t is hard
to cure it without discolorine from ex-
cessiye fermentation. Ifsecured in good
order it should be saved for young
stock and for poultry, to be fed to each
in small amounts with other feed.

Good Cows.

There is considerable in cows pos
sibility to give good quantity of rich
milk, says The Dairy World, but it is
easy to have that possibility ruined Dy
poor feed and care in bringing up the
developing. On the other hand, no
amount of feed and care will induce
COW that naturally gives thin, poor milk
to turn about and give milk that is rich
in solids. Good feed and good care will
help develop many cows that have been
neglected, but if there is any decided
improvement it will be made with COWS
that are born to be good, but have not
had tho opportunity. To get the most
out of any COW, good or bad, good feed
and care are necessary, but it is the
good COW that gives the best returns
when we'll fed and cared for.

Number of Fools Decreasing.

The relentless war wsged by the
newspapers on the cigarette habit has
had its effect. Editorial writer's and
funny graphers have united in the war
and this enemy of health of young men
has retreated under the fire. A trade
journal printed in the east, devoted to
the tobacco trade, makes the statement
that within two years the consumption
of cigarettes has declined one e-fourth.
For six years preceding 1895 the pro-
duction of cigarettes steadily increased
at this time of maximum production
the output aggregated 4,1sO, 100000,
while the output for the fiscal year end
ing June 80. 1898, was about 100000
600 less, notwithstanding that there had
been large increase in the foreign de-
mand with larger exports than ever be-
fore in the history of the trade.-Des
