what they see in races of the West.
Anyone who has observed the Fill

MO ideas at all in regard to the proper
combination OF colors in their wearing

POSTAL CARD FAD
You are Expected to Post a Card from Every Station in Europe While
 You are Travelling Abroad.

The postal card craze is at its height abroad. and those who travel. specially in Germany, this summer. will soon catch the infection of dispatching postal cards from every station.
 The German emperor, who does things differently from other people, and has fads harder than most mortals. has set the most remarkable pace of postal sending yet known. On the occasion of his recent jour ney to Holy Land and through Europe, he prepared several thousand postal cards an- nouncing his safe departure. These were dispa tened from Vienna, the day of the kaiser's start, and we're received in a few days by friends and nobles.
 But a still more illustrfous example of postal sending occurred on his matesty's home trip. Packed safe in the emperors baggage were thousands of postal announc- Ing his safe arrival home. These were all written before the start; and were posted when the kaiser was only half way home. They were so numerous that the postoffice at Vienna was several days disposing of them. Royal etiquette obiged~His Majesty
The age-herald., 1899-07-23

to send one to each member of every family to which he wrote, and compelled each member of the royal suites to write many.
 These postals are by no means the useful tan colored cards with which We are Ia miliar They are the illuminated postals that were introduced only a few seasons ago. Even last summer they were novel, ty: and one sent from Holland during the corona tipn of Wilhelmina was viewed as great curiosity.
 Now every village in Europe has its pos- tai card, and many have several different designs. The postoffice issues them, and . well repaid by the extra number it sells Many of them are made in Germany and are of exquisite coloring.
 In Rome you get the most classic postal card. The weil-known outline of the Col osseum. those three pillars of the Temple of Castor and Pollux, St. Peters and the Vatican, make you feel that a scholastic and studfous holiday has been spent when you paste the postcard trophy in your col lecting book, or address such illustrations to those at home; and you forget that you had not time enough to study these monu- ments, that you had but ten days to spend where ten years were needed, and that the intimacy with the place which the modern postcard seems to presuppose it but affecta- ton.
 There are handsome pictures of Pope Leo in the Rome collection and scenes around the royal palace of the queen and king
 Germany devotes it's postal cards to it's scenery principally. After the portraits of the royal family, and the palace at Pots dam. come views of the Rhine. darling lit- tie schemes in color of castles perched high on rocks, with vines and twisted trees. standing out against a blue sky. Small wonder that you jump from the train to secure one of these, even though there is only room for your signature below the picture
 In Switzerland, also, mountains, torutnts, waterfalls and ravines colored or simply in black and white, are the usual subjects Sometimes an Alpine rose and the inevita- ble edelweiss bedecks one corner, or couple of peasants show the picturesque and graceful national costume, for which the tourist seeks in vain.

 The artists are wise in realizing that dainty, extraordinary or grotesque head gear in lace or metal trimmed bodiees and pretty colored petticoats are extremely attractive to the globe-trotter. If an extra lace lappet or dantier cut of skirt pleases the traveller, why not let him have it on postcard?
 The tiniest village in France, Italy and Holland has now it's own special town hall clock, mountain or valley yividly portrayed upon a postal card.
 The European traveller is expected to post a card at every station and so communicate to his friends in America the important fact that he has passed through Alsaee or has gotten north to Mudheim or Backen- loch.
 In this country the postal card craze travels slowly, but it is coming and getting its recruits as 1t moves along.

Farms To Big For The Farmer.

Much of the success of the far
mer depends on the relationship
between the farmer and his farm.
Some men can manage an eighty
acre farm successfully, but break
down when it comes to 16O acres.
Others can manage q quarter, but
cannot manage q half section. A
team must always have greater
power than the load which it is
required to draw. There should
always be q reserve power avails.
BILE when it comes to the hill or
the mud hole. The farmer must
always be bigger than his farm;
the editor must always be larger
than his paper; the business man,
if he would always be successful,
must always be capable of hand
ling larger business than he &C.
tually does. In short there must
always be reserve power svaila-
BILE for emergencies. The weaker
must always be servant of the
stronger. When the farm is larg.
or than the farmer, it runs the far
mer, instead of the farmer run
ming it. In that case the farmer
goes under. Some man capable
of handling the farm must get
hold of it before it becomes q pro-
ftable investment. Our readers
who have anything of a large &C
quaintanoe can easily verify the
truth of these remarks. Hence,
the necessity of the farmer educa-
ting himself and becoming always
not only as large as the farm, but
great deal larger. Wallace's
