When John Kimbaly Mumford's elaborate
book Oriental Rugs was published last
winter, it met with prompt appreciation from the
public, and though a large edition has been
provided by the Scribners it was sold out in six
weeks, with orders sufficient to exhaust another
edition of the same size Most books would
have promptly appeared on the firms list in a
second edition, but the second edition is only
now being issued six months after the first was
exhausted. This is because the colored illustra
tions. provided by a firm in Detroit, and made
by a process require several months to be

HOT STUFF, SURE.
Saturday and Sunday We're Among the
Hottest Days on Record.

| Saturday and Sunday were hot
days, without doubt-the hottest
days, according to tothermometer reg
istration, that we have had in this
section of Minnesota for a long time.
For on Saturday the thermometers
were ranging from SO to lO2. while
on Sunday the same thermometers,
at the warmest period OF the day.
were two degrees higher.
The burning feature Of both days
was the hot wind. Itsblew from the
south, and the currents of hot air at
times were simply as if they bad
made their appearance from a seeth-
ing furnace. There was no relief in
them.
Carpenters in the city and a mum
Der OF people OF other professions
were obliged to quit work during
Saturday afternoon, on account Of
this extreme heat. A number Of.
farmers, rather than risk the loss Of
their teams in the harvest fields,
also ceased operations during that
afternoon, and gaye their iaded
horses rest in the barns and pas
lures.
Just what effect the hot winds
and hot weather has had on the rip
ening grain is question, but there
can be no doubt but what nearly all
of the fields have been prematurely
Iripened, and the wheat has been
more or less shrunk as "a result.
With fair weather no wheat fields
IN the county would have been
ready for the harvester before next
Saturday, and most of them not un-
til the middle Of next week. On.
account of the hot days, however,
| the harvesters are now at work in a
fair proportion OF. the fields. "A re-
duction Of five bushels per acre IN.
the yield is probably a fair estimate
Iof the loss.
On Monday the thermometer was.
around the So mark, but during the.
day the sun was frequently hid be-
hind cloud, and hence there were
seemingly cool streaks during the
day. When the sun was out, how
ever: it shone with all its fury Of
preceding days. About Z o'clock
in the evening storm came up
from the southwest and while the
major portion Of it passed around to

companied by a light rain, cooled

morning, with a humid atmosphere,
