How Mrs. Palmer Was Snubbed

The name of the Infanta recalled the snub the young Spaniard gave Mrs Pot ter Palmer of Chicago, and the elite Of the Worlds Fair city, relates the Cleve- land Leader Mrs Palmer exercising her undoubted right as a leader of Chicago society, arranged reception fin honor Of the Infanta, and invited all of Chicago swelldom. It was to have been the lead- ing tribute to the social worth of Eulalie. Chicago ladies sent to Paris and Worth made dresses that cost thousands for the reception to the Infanta.
 The reception day came, and all the la dies and dresses were in line. But the Infanta, in whose honor all the money had been spent, was tardy. There was con- sternation, which increased to alarm in the mind of the hostess. Late in the day the Infanta did, put in appearance but re- mained only few minutes. She did not even line up, as she was expected to do The explanation for her conduct came out later when it was learned that she had remarked to friend:
 'I have been invited to a reception to be given by the inkeepers wife; but don't think I shall go."
 Potter Palmer, the innkeeper. and the great Palmer house, "the inn," burst upon dazed Chicago in a new light

Nothing Was Right There

The house committee of a lunatic asylum had been visiting the institution on a cer- tain occasion, and were afterwards stand ing talking in the grounds, when one of their number, says the Scottish American, happened to glance at the asylum clock, cried, Good gracious. Is that the time % and turning to man who was just passing he Inquired: "Is that clock right?''
 "No,' dryly replied the stranger, who turned out to be an inmate. "If it had been richt it wadna hae been here"

RESTRICTIONS OF A BACH FLOR
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 A man has a mind; a woman has a brain
 Half the men you meet are suckers and the other half are fishing for them.
 As long as you keep looking at a woman S feet she can never look you in the eye.
 When a man is afraid to talk back to his wife he generally gets even by taking it out of other men that he meets in his business
 Every man tells his friends he would do lots of things if he were in their place which he wouldn't expect them to do if they were in his place.

Weather and Growing Crops.

Better planting weather has prevailed Of late, except possibly in South Texas, and much the larger share of the seasons crops l is in the ground The cotton crop will be l about two weeks late. Some of it will be l backward to the extent of a month. The | start is not a favorable one. Wet weather l has been succeeded by cool nights and weather conditions hereafter will have to be good indeed If the crop is to be brought up to a large yield. The backardness of the crop applies to all sections of the cot ton belt The crop as a whole has late start, and the present cool weather is not helping it materially.
 The Savannah Cotton Exchange has re- gently gathered information from 200 points in the eastern section of the cotton belt. The reports collected at Savannah go to show that there will be in all cotton states east of the Mississippi river an increase in acreage of about 10 per cent, thus making plain the fact that the eastern farmers are acting from motives similar to those that induced the Texas farmers to put in an unexampled acreage. Fertilizer sales, too, have been increased over those of the pre- vious year from 10 to 25 per cent
 In Georgia the increase in acreage is es- timated by the Savannah Cotton Exchange to be 12 per cent, and IS per cent. more of fertilizers have been sold. The crop is ten days late. In Alabama 10 per cent. more of land has been planted, and the fertilizer crop is ten days late. In Mississippi the acreage has been increased 5 per cent, but no more fertilizers have been sold than were sold last year. The crop is ten days late. In South Carolina the increase in acreage is per cent, and the sale of fer tilizers has not been increased. The crop is ten days late. In all of these states some of the fertilizing material has been washed out by heavy rainfalls and in all there has been here and there a lack of seed. Farm labor is now too plentiful in any of these states All in all, the farmers have planted for great yield, but the weather conditions have not been favorable thus far, and known facts point to an average crop only.
