woman's Sunday.

From Monday morning till Saturday
midday the majority of husbands tell
you they are hard at work, They rise
at 6, z, or 8, and, having eaten break
fast, get to business. At midday comes
an hour for dinner and rest. Then
work fills up the time till 5, 6, or z.
The evening they claim as their lawful
rest after hard days bread winning.
When two Of these hard-worked men
meet they almost invariably, sooner or
later, sheer or joke about the lazy lives
women lead. Listenl If the head Of
q house rises at 6, his wife must rise
at in order to have his breakfast
ready on a clean table in a cleanly
swept room. The husband leaves for
business, and his wife settles down
to the necessarily dull routine of
homework. At the midday meal she
most probably has to attend to the
wants of two or three children. In
the afternoon she must call on her
neighbors in order to keep up friend
ships, so that her husband may have
people to talk to when he wants variety
In the evening. She also has to do
the necessary shopping. AT about 5
the hardest part of her day begins.
First, the evening meal, then the chill
dren to be put to bed then she must
try and be lively and amuse her spouse
till such time as he chooses to go to
bed AS to wlfe's Sunday, every one
who has ever been child knows what
that means.

A Chicago justice has thrown out of
court the suit brought by fortune
teller who used her mystic arts to win
a wife for a bashful client and was
then unable to collect her usual fee.
The Justices decision may be de-
plored as calculated to cast obloquy
upon the ancient arts of prophecy and
magic, but will be honored and up
held by all persons who believe that
Cupid should do his work alone with
out the superhuous and extraneous as
sistance of outside parties.

The skirt buttoned down the back

fastened at the back with severe but
tons and cord, are both old-fashioned,

skirt, as is called the skirt that fits
like a riding-habit, that has either
seam in the middle of the back or cir
cular, and fastens at the left side, is
as yet the best. This requires to be
carefully made, - that it is not too
tight over the bl.-'- and hips. The
ugly plain look is ed by four
rows of tucks, very e4n, and put on
about three inches below the waist.

BY means of the electrical discharges
from steel wires attached to tailless
kites OF the Eddy type William A.
Eddy; the Kite expert, believes he haa
proved that storms location can be
determined, whether it be in the east
ern or western hemisphere. A recent
experiment made by Mr.. Eddy at
Bayonne N. J., showed the intensity
and direction of storm several hun
dred miles north of Chicago. Mr.
Eddy, as a result of this investigation,
believes that the moment storms
gather, either in Manitoba or Siberia,
the great storm lncubators, they can
be instantly detected in New York.
John Milne, the earthquake expert,
can tell the instant an earthquake oc-
ours, whether it is in Hawaii, India
or Mexico. Mr.. Eddy proposes to do
the same with storm centers. Eddy's
discovery means not only that a mari
ner can determine the atmospheric
condition of his course before leaving
port, but that while en- route he can
detect and steer clear of severe storms.
1t also means the elimination of such
losses of life as recently depopulated
Porto Rico, because the inhabitants
could be warned long before such a
storms approach and could prepare to
fight 1t.

a simple Word.

A Simple Word.
It may be glorious to write
Thoughts that shall glad the two or
three
High souls, like those far stars that come
in sight
Once In a century;
But better far II Is to speak
One simple word, which now and then
shall waken their free nature in the weak
And friendless sons of men;
To write some earnest verse or line,
Which. seeking not the praise of art,
Shall make clear faith and manhood
shine
In the untutored heart
He who doth this, In verse or prose,
May be forgotten In his day,
But surely shall be crowned at last with
those
Who live and speak for aye.

Acrienltnrnl Notes.

To what extent drain tile was pull
verified by the hard freezes Of last
winter is not yet apparent. Inquiries
sent out by the Farmers Review re-
vealed the fact that most farmers do
not know whether their drains have
been injured or not The compare
lively dry fall has not put them to the
test. Should we have a wet winter
we would probably find out If the
drains are in condition to carry off
water or not. It is not necessary that
the whole line Of drain be broken up
to render it useless. A rod or two
thoroughly pulyerized does much to
render the whole incapable of carry
Ing off water. Perhaps it would have
been good idea if farmers with large
quantities of tiled land had made some
examination with the object of finding
out its true condition. The loss to a
single crop through a disintegrated
drain may be large, aud in addition
large areas OF land may be rendered
unplowable in the spring Just at the
time it is most necessary to get onto
the land.
Prize corn crops are not always

IL has to be gathered for exhibition:
while the other man may plant his
corn early and thus give it time to
thoroughly mature before 1t must be

ing anew her right to be considered the
leader Of Boston society. She is now
importing an Italian palace stone by

large cities.
Fruit men should in some way COM
bine to prevent retailers re-sorting
their fruit when it is put on the mar
ket. This re-sorting of fruit by the
retailers is a very widespread hab-
it. 1t is in every sense dishon-
est, and Injuries the producer Of
fine fruit as much as it does the
buyer of what is supposed to be
fine fruit. Go among the fruit stands
in Chicago very early in the morn
ing, say, in peach time, before the rush
for the day has commenced. The fruit
dealers will be found vigorously at
work packing fruit to be sold during
the day. All the good fruit has been
emptied out in one pile and the little,
worthless fruit in another pile. The
packer puts the little green peaches
in the bottom and faces the basket
with good-sized and possibly good-col-
ored fruit. If it lacks good color, he
stretches some red netting over the
green fruit and gives it the proper
color. Now when the basket of fruit
that Fruit-Grower John Smith has
packed, with his stamp, comes into the
hands of these same men, it is quickly
emptied out and sorted with the rest.
If, later, John Smith should come
along and buy one of the honestly
packed baskets that he has sent to
market he would experience a shock
on opening it, for he would not find
under the ton layer just as good
peaches as on top. but the said green
ones referred to. Fruit producers that
are trying to make their brand reeog-
nized and respected on the market
should find some way to compel deal
ers to sell the fruit as it comes to hand
or take Off their brand.

is proposed to form an association OF
national magnitude. Whether the plan
will succeed or not we will soon see'
But it is a fact that the science OF Or

denced by the success of the California

Total Vote of State Reaches
Nearly $4,000.
BIG VOTE FOR TOOLE
Repudliean Gain Over Two Yearn Ago,
8.825-The Vote on President
Yet Missing.

The full returns of the recent state
election ON state offices have been
compiled, but the vote on president
is yet to missing. 1t Is probable
that Mckinley secured Just a few
more than $4,000 votes in the state.
An analysis of the vote shows that
the former estimates of totals and
pluralities were remarkably close.
The highest vote received by a candi-
date on the fusion ticket was polled
by Governor-elect Toole, who received
81 AGA in all, and whose vote is only
exceeded by that Of George M. Hays,
who was nominated on both the fus-
ion ana the independent democratic
tickets and who polled the strength
Of both those parties. His total vote
was 1881.
The surprising showing made by
the figures is the total vote Of the
state, which was nearly $4,000. The
minor tickets on the ballot were not
we'll supported, the social democrats,
the socialists and the prohibitionists
polling in all less than 1000 votes.
The majority Of Mr.. Toole is $3.50,
and is the largest on the ticket with
the same exception noted before, that
of Mr.. Hays, who was on two tickets.
The republican nominee who came
nearest to being elected was Prof. w.
e. Harmon, nominee for superintend-
ent of public instruction, the plurality
against him being only 3,174. He re-
ceived the highest vote accorded re-
publican nominee, the next highest
being #. J. Porter. Mr.. Harmon had
24,327 votes and Mr.. Porter 24,295.
Mr.. Murray, the republican nominee
for congress, received 1851 votes.
The gain of the republican party
in two years in Montana is 1852
votes, or SO per cent The vote Tor
Judge T. c. Marshall for congress in
1898, when Judge Marshall polled the
full strength, was 1889.
The highest vote polled by an in
dependent democrat was 9,4OO, the
poll of Cornelius f. Kelley, nominee
for congress. Thomas S. Hogan, the
nominee for governor, came next with
9,212.
| The following shows the total vote
for each candidates.
