FOR THE BRIDE-ELECT.
Linen, Book and Rose Showers Are
Becoming Popular All Over
the Country.

The bride of to-day is being made the
recipient of many social honors. All
her girl friends pay her tribute by
these pretty entertainments, and the
popular maid must be ready for her
wedding several weeks before the event
transpires, for at each of the furc
tions she is supposed to wear one of her
trousseau gowns. Most of these af-
fairs are luncheons or breakfasts, each
with a special feature. A Linen
shower" for instance, consists of each
guest bringing piece of linen, doiley,
centerpiece or bureau scarf, whatever
one chooses, and as the party leaves
she table the pieces are thrown at the
bride-to-be.
For a book shower each guest
brings book appropriately inscribed
to her friend, with a sentiment which
the giver fancies. OF course, each hos
tess can use her own ideas in planning
her entertainment, and in her invita-
tions puts in one corner what each
guest is to bring for the honored one.

the General Federation of Women's
Clubs, of which she is the president,
Mrs Lowe has been long known in the
south as a wealthy and philanthropic
woman. She has a handsome home in
the aristocratic quarter of Atlanta, and
there dispenses notable hospitality
amid the most luXuriant surroundings.
First attracted to club life during
the Cotton States and international ex-
position, she became imbued with the
idea at once, and it was at her home that
the Woman's club of Atlanta was born.
From this beginning the Georgia Fed
Grafton grew, and Mrs. Lowe was unan-
imously elected its president. In 1898
she was elected presiding officer'of the
general federation at the Denver con-
vention. The work of spreading the
club idea among the women of the south
fell to her lot, and few have any com
plant to make of the success she has
made in this somewhat stubborn field.
Mrs Lowe has crossed the meridian
of life, but she is still youthful in ap-
pearance, and though not a large wom-
an has an imposing appearance and is
al GhCIllShI anu AN"'I'N Sl''''iNSi'
She is of rather slight stature, her eyes
are blue, and her brown hair is tinged
with gray. She wears eyeglasses,
dresses with elegance and taste and has
the charming, easy manners that per-
| tain to the ladies of the south. How she
| is held in estimation of the members
of the general federation may be gath
cred from the fact that shea south
erner-could find friends enough to
elect her the executive head of this tre-
mendously large body of American
women, the vast majority of whom live
| in the north.
Before her marriage Mrs. Lowe was
one of the most beautiful and popular
bellies in the south. She has a son and a
married daughter.

YIELDS FAIR FORAGE.
German MiIIet Has Found Consider
able Favor with Southern and
Western Farmers.

This millet is called, also, southern
millet, American millet, golden millet,
mammoth millet, Bengal grass, Da-
kota millet. 1t grows to height of
four or five feet, and has heads that
are six to eight inches long and an inch
wide. This variety has been in general
cultivation in the south since the early
seventies, but was introduced into the
United States many years earlier. Prof.
Crozier regards the East Indies as the
most probable source of its introd uc-
ton into the United States, and re-

for over 500 years. The stump is over
seven feet in diameter at the height of
the fence. On its top is the church bell,
surmounted by a little roof and cross.
The belfry is reached by a curious lad
der formed by Stats on a board leaning
from the roof to the tree trunk.
Over the tree grows a beautiful Eng
lish ivy. This ivy has found its way
into the church through a crack in the
simple chapel. There it grows, beau
tiful decoration for the interior of the
house. 1t is green even at this sea-

The bell was given by the Sunday
school of old ST. Peters church, of Phil
adelphia, and the church is known as
St. Peters Episcopal church. Mr..
Cheal is the rector.

by which it was first known in this
country, suggests such an origin.
Flint, on the contrary, makes the state

United States from Europe. However
this may be, it seems that the seed used
in Tennessee, where this variety first
came into real prominence, was brought
from France in the early sixties, and

German millet is the latest of the va

CRUELTY IN RUSSIA.
Car Rules His Big Realm with
Red-Hot Iron.
Punishment inflicted
Upon Men and WOmen-SavaSerT
That Has Been TnboOed Even
by Cannibal Tribes.

From the reports which are constant
ly brought by travellers and others
from Siberia and other parts of the
Russian empire there is no attempt be-
ing made by the czar TO live up to his
promise to prevent the sending of fur
ther political exiles to his Asiatic en-
pire.
On the contrary, the treatment OF
these prisoners has become even more
rigorous than at any period lately, and
they are being shipped in increased
numbers TO that inferno, which is
curse to modern civilization.
To add to the horrors of the situa-
ton, the government grant of 100000
roubles per year set aside for the main
tenance of the political prisoners has
been cut down TO 100000 roubles, while
the number of these unfortunates
grows bigger and bigger, and this
means, of course, that many of them
literally starve to death il the pitiless
deserts of the north. Particularly is
this the case in the provinces of Verk-
hoyansk and Kolimsk, where there is
no possible means of earning a penny
by any means whatever. Under the
regulations these exiles receive no al
lowance until proof has been received
that they have no relatives in Russia
who are capable of being made to sup
port them. The period occupied in secur.
ing this information usually occupies
12 months, and in the interim there is
nothing but starvation ahead for the
exile, who goes TO his fate unprovided
with funds.

PREPARING SOD GROUND.
Why 1t should BE Plowed nt the First
Favorable Opportunity Dur
ing the Winter,

In most cases when a piece of sod
ground is to be prepared for planting
to corn in the spring, it Will be good
plan to plow at the first favorable OPP
portunity during the winter
The thawing and freezing to which
it will usually be subjected will aid in
loosening and disintegrating the sod,
and making it an easier task to work
into a proper tilth for planting. 1t is
important in plowing sod to turn the
top sod completely over. 1t is best for
corn especially to plow reasonably
deep. Deep plowing and shallow culti-
walton will give the best results. 1t will
also make it easier work to prepare the
soil in a good tilth if care is taken to
plow thoroughly at the start.
Freshly plowed old sod requires con-
siderable work to prepare it in good
tilth, and if the plowing is delayed un-
til spring, after grass has made start
to grow, even more work is required.
Sod ground can be plowed in many
cases when old ground would be entire
ly too wet. After blowing, it is usually
not advisable to disturb it again until
ready to prepare for planting. At this
time there is no better implement to
use than a good disc harrow. Unless
the sod is old and tough one good 60
ing over with the harrow, tapping well,
will be sufficient, but with old sod it
may be necessary to go over twice, the
first time the way the land was plowed.
and the second time crosswise. 1t is
best to lap well, and to cut reasonably
deep. The disc harrow will cut thor
oughly, and then the smoothing har-
iow will fine and level down and put
The soil in good condition for the seed.
II pays with all crops, and especially
one like corn, that is to be cultivated,
to prepare the soil thoroughly before
the seed is planted, and it will be best
to go over with the disc and smoothing
harrows several times in order to Sc
cure this condition, rather than TO
plant with the soil in rough condition.
In a system of rotation corn after
grass is one of the best plans, but in
securing "A good growth and yield, it is
essential that the soil be well prepared.

MRS. LOWE HONORED.
Georgia Lady Appointed TO hepFe

at the Paris Exposition.

Mrs. William Bell Lowe, of Atlanta,
Ga. president of the General Federation
of Women's Clubs, has received notice
of her appointment as honorary presi-
dent for America of the woman's board
of the Paris exposition, and has notified
Nine. Poquard, leader of the woman's
department of the exposition, of her
acceptance.
Mrs. Lowe is one of the few southern
women who have become conspicuous
during the past few years in the wom-
ems club movement, and she is now the
official leader of that movement in
America. Although it is only short
time since she became identified with

officials, are the most dangerous is one
of the most brutal and revolving that
the mind can devise.
Men and women alike, says the Gin
cinnati Commercial Tribune, are sub
jected to this demoniacal punishment,
which is accom- plished by means of hot
irons, the work being executed with
an amount of savagery not even met
with to-day among the fercest can
nibal tribes.
In the presence of his fellow Grim
inals, who have the same horrible or
deal awaiting them, the shrinking VIC
tim is dragged forward and pinioned
securely by brutal keepers and held
tightly whilst the manipulation of the
burning iron proceeds to mark the de-
grading brand upon his forehead. This
is often done in the presence of other
members of the family, and the dis
torted features of the unfortunate
creature, the smell of burning fesh'and
the heart-rending shrieks of himself
and others combine to produce a scene
which is so nauseating as to defy de-
scription. A traveller who his been
present at one of these scenes of tor
ture says that he never saw n more
frightful instance of barbarity even
at the orgies of the devil worshipers
of the East Indies. Civilization is dis
graced and discredited by such inhu-
man practices conducted under its
name, and one shrinks with horror at
the thought of the sway of such gov
ernment being extended among civil
ized peoples.
1t has been given out that the use of
the knout as mode of punishment has
been forbidden by the authorities, but
that is one of the many specious pre-
lenses with which the Russian govern
ment seeks to impose upon the credul
ity of outraged humanity. The knout
is as much in use to-day as it ever was.
Only a few years ago peasant at
Nitebsk who had been driven from the
district because of being suspected of
belonging to a heterodoX religious sect,
was discovered by the police, who APP
pied the knout so severely to him that
he expired from the effects of his beat
ing.

the man had compassed his own de-
struction in prison, but his fellow work
men learned the truth and set fire to the
barracks in which the police were
lodged. In consequence of this act
some so men and women were at once
hurried off to Siberia.
The slightest suspicion or accusation
against person is sufficient to secure
his immediate transportationto to Siberia
| without even the pretense of a trial.
a student accused of propagating rev.
| olutionary views was arrested in Mos
cow last September, and as there was
no evidence against him he was sub
sequently discharged. Then he was
rearrested and thrown into dungeon,
where he went stark mad, ending his
miserable existence by igniting his

TREE TRUNK SPIRE.
st. Peters Church, Mt Tacoma, Wash,
Is Quaint and Simple
House of Worship.

Christmas bells rang at Tacoma,
Wash, from a peculiar church spire. 1t
is Douglas fir tree stump. The church,
a small, primitive structure, was built
in the midst of rough lumber camp in
the seventies by the side of the tree, so
that the latter might be used for
steeple. Bishop Morris, who is still
bishop of Oregon, built it.
The church was built in less than
week, but the steeple had been growing
