A BETTER DAY FOR FARMERS
WIVES.

One bright idea of the club women is
the opening in towns of a crest room, )"
where the farmers wife may stay on
Saturday. With the latest magazines
and the ever-comforting cup of tea, this
weary weekly shopper may find mental
and bodily refreshment. This work
has been particularly espoused by Mis-
souri, clubwomen. In other parts the
farmers wife is looking out for herself,
as instanced at Lapeer, Michigan. In
this town the women of the surround
ing country have rented two rooms in
the courthouse. Each member fur
nished one yard of carpet, one chair,
one cup and saucer, and every Satur-
day come together to spread lunch and
"talk things over" Farmers wives
away out West drive many miles over
rough mountain roads for their one So
cial pleasure monthly literary
club. The big city clubs, such as the
Denver Woman's club, on the other
hand, regularly send periodicals and
club papers to the lonely women too re-
motely situated for a chance to belong
to any club.

Mehemet Ali's counting was no sub
tie secret affair. 1t began with ardor,
promptly, and to the purpose. It was
apparent, perhaps painfully apparent,
and it left nothing to the imagination.
1t showed to all that he was bent upon
making this young American girl his
bride.
The winter waned; the princes suit
continued. Then came the approach
of spring. The princes iris-hued emo
tons reached a crisis. He discovered
with the suddenness of all lovers that
life was not worth living without the
object of his devotions.
So Mehemet Ali Bey, next in line to
the throne of Egypt, offered his hand
and heart to Miss Cora Randolph of
New York. He was refused! Miss
Randolph took as her privilege the
right of every freeborn, Independent
American citizen. The throne Of
Egypt offered no attractions to her.
Even though the Prince would deny
himself his prerogative and take to
himself one wife only Miss Randolph
fatty and firmly declined the honor he
had done her.
Having said so, she hastened away
from Cairo, and from the sight of as
piring royalty.
Today, Mehemet Ali Bey has re-
tired again to his palace, where he
mopes in solitary sorrow. Twice an
American girl has shown the breadth
of her independence, and Mehemet has
seen enough.
Royal society in Cairo, in conse-
quence of this affair, is dead and dis
spirited and no doubt when the next
fair American arrives will at once
assume full mourning in anticipation
Of the inevitable.

the same kind had already been made
in 1869. 1t is even possible that finds
had been made prior to then, as the
Gar Boris Godounow presented the
Venetian engrayer, Francis Ascentini,
with a sable fur and 100 ducats for
having cut a large emerald for a ring.
The finest emeralds were found when
these stones were being mined for the
account of the government. During
this period, that is, up to 1862, $500
pounds were extracted. The govern
ment afterward farmed out the mines
to private parties, who were not sue
cessful. The emeralds of superior
quality have been found near the sur,
face of the soil, while those found in
deep ground were of inferior quality

SUMMER AIDS TO BEAUTY.

Cucumber Feelings, boiled in water,
will be found good for the skin. A
slice of cucumber may be rubbed on
the face, instead of soap. Lemon juice
will remove sunburn. Dill-water is
as good for the complexion as rose
water, though it makes the skin paler.
Elderfower- water is famous for it's
cooling properties, as is also lavender
water
Never go out in blustry weather
without veil unless you wish a tan
ned skin or freckles.
Do not forget, when drying the face
after washing, to rub upward toward
the nose. This will prevent wrinkles,
and will help to smooth out to q great
extent the crease alongside the nose.
Use neither hot nor cold water ex-
clusively for bathing. A good rule to
follow is hot bath at night and cold
one in the morning, but be sure to
take bath daily if you wish to keep
your skin in good condition.
Do not wear tight shoes if you desire
a graceful carriage; no woman can
walk comfortably or we'll in shoes that
are too small for her feet. Do not
wear too small gloves.
Avoid tight lacing and any form of
dressing which congresses any organ
of the body.-Mrs. Humphrey in
Ladies' Home Journal.

and lumber were stored, sank slowly,
and it was several days before they
finally disappeared. Those on board
were rescued by Capt. Ripley and a
party of Indians. The cause of the
explosion has remained mystery,
but it is supposed the water in the
boiler was allowed to get low and
when the vessel got under way the
cold water was suddenly turned in.
Two engineers, two firemen and three
passengers were killed, but the balance
of the crew of twenty and the remain
ing passengers, there being fifteen or
twenty in all, escaped entirely unin-
jured. Numerous wrecking expedi-
tons have visited the scene and the
cargo has been recovered piecemeal.-

tons Give Him Lien on Success.
Pleasure and the pursuit of it are not
the first things inculcated in young
minds among American farming peo-
pie. Pleasures come after duty has
been done, and they are rewards for
the duties that have been we'll done.
This placing Of duty first is the great
disciplinary advantage in the training
that country boys receive The coun-
try work cannot be postponed, and the
accomplishment of it becomes a habit
of life, no matter how far removed the
person trained in it may be from the
field in which it was necessary. Pretty
nearly everything a country boy en-
counters day by day has a tendency
toward the development of a healthy
and wholesome individuality. There is
deal of regular work that every
country boy must do. This work, pref
ty much always out of doors, incul-

that can be had. He cannot run as
fast, perhaps, as those trained by a
system; he may not be able to jump
so high or so far or excel in any of the
sports upon which we bestow so much
time and from which we get so much
Of pleasure, but his development en-
ables him to buckle down to the hard
work in which very little or any i'm
mediate pleasure is extracted. His
strength may be something like that
of a cart-horse, but the cart-horse is
to be preferred where a long and
steady pull is required. The thorough
bred race-horse has a delightful light
ness and grace along the park Bride
paths, but the heavy work is the work
that is most in demand, and for that
we want the draft-animals every time.
The chores that country boy does
are not always pleasant; they are in
fnitely less agreeable than training
for boatrace or for a football game;
in their accomplishment there is no
reward of applause; it is all humdrum
work, which usually begins with the
day and which does not end till dark
ness has settled down and it is time to
sleep.-John Gilmer Speed in Woman's
Home Companion.

The Marine Review publishes a
picture of a very interesting relic,
just fished up in Lake Superior, when
dredges were at work widening and
deepening the upper channel entrance
to the Sault Ste. Marie canal. 1t
represents what is left of the boiler of
the steamer independence, which ex-
ploded at II o'clock on the evening OF
Nov. %, 1854, resulting in the sinking
of the vessel and loss of seven lives.
The Independence was the first
steamer on Lake Superior. The &C
cident occurred just as the vessel was
passing over the spot since known as
Vidal shoaI and which was removed
last year. The stern sank almost i'm

IN AN OLD GARDEN.

Come down to that old garden
Of every flower we knew,
When out of gates of childhood
The airs of morning blew,
And arching heaven was painted
In every drop of dew
And you may have the lily
With all her virgin SHOWS,
And you may have the beauty
That bushes on the rose,
But l will have the heart s-ease,
The dearest flower that blows!
Who will shall have the balsams
And store of hydromel,
The purple of the monk's-hood
With poison in his spell;
Who will shall have sweet william
And the canterbury-bell.
I love the breath of rosemary,
The perfume of the stock,
The proud plumes of the fleur-de-lis
The silken hollyhock;
I love the flaming poppy
And the sleepy four-o clock.
But they say that when the angels
Fell plunging from Heavens frown,
A spirit looking after
Lost blossom from her crown
I know it was the heart's-ease
Came softly floating down.
Oh, bright the honeysuckle,
And sweet his tipping crew,
The bird-wings of the columbine,
The larkspur blue as blue
But will take the heart s-ease
And all the rest take you!

mans Home Companion.

EMERALDS IN RUSSIA.

Emeralds, some of which are very
fine, are found in the district of
Ekaterinburg, along the banks of the
Tokova river, about f1fty-two miles
from the capital of the district. Min
ing for this precious stone began in
1871, and at the beginning gave very
good results. The first emerald was
found by a peasant named Maxim
Kojevnikow, in 1880, while he was ex-
aiming the roots of a tree which had
been uprooted by q storm. It is pretty
certain, however, that discoveries of

A Few years ago hard times
made the Western farmer deny
himself everything save the barest
necessities of life. Then came the
great crop year of 1897 and with it
a story. A Nebraska farmer carried
mortgage of $4,000 on his prop
erty, and it was burden hard to
contend with. The wheat crop in
I97' was enormous and prices high.
He appeared at the bank shortly
after harvest, pulled out $4,000
and asked for loan of 5000 to en-
able him to cancel the mortgage
note. The banker, who held the
note, urged him not to bother a.
bout it, but go and buy cattle with
his $4,000, feed his corn crop and
in that way get the maximum for
his product. mo sir" replied the
farmer, ~ want to pay that note
now. Then, when harvest the
