The Smart Set for November.

The November Smart Set is perhaps
the most unique and remarkable maya
zine that has ever been published in
this country. Among its interesting
features are contributions by five titled
writer's. Prince Vladimir Vaniatsky
is the author of clever story, ''The
Sensation of the Archduchess ;" COun-
tess Loveau de Chavanne relates the
mystery of beantiful Parisian known
as 1.-THE Black Rose - Lady Violet
Greville writes entertainingly of Fash
ion in the Garden y Baroness Won Hut
ten tells the story of an artists love
for girl whom be calls "Bread and
Butter - and Lady Katharine Morgan
contributes an amusing poem, From
One to Twelve" A reading of these
contributions does not suggest that
they have been printed merely for the
names of the authors; on the contrary
the work is in every case of an un-
usually interesting and brilliant char
acter. The array of talent in The
Smart Set appears to indicate that the
magazine has reused the literary am
bit1on not only of New York society,
SO much in evidence in its pages, but
of European society as well; indeed,
that literature is becoming fad in the
whole world of wealth and fashion.

Water Investigations in Colorado.

The United States Geological Survey
is conducting a series of Investigations
in the vicinity of Greeley, Colorado,
the result of which are expected to be
of Importance. The work, which is in
the hands of Mr.. Geo. l. Adams, will
consist in an exami nation of the geolo
gic formations of this section with spe-
cial reference to the location of under
ground waters which may be made
available by we'll borings. Greeley is
situate in the arid eastern part of Col
orado and was founded through the eff
forts of Horace Greeley, who was one
of the early enthusiasts of the posi-
bilities of irrigation. In Colorado, as
in all the arid states where most of the
streams run low in the Summer season,
a reliable supply of Well water is of
great Importance, often being equiva l.
ent to the difference between profit and
loss in the management of the farm.
This is especially true of the smaller
farms where wells are used to assist in
An attempt will be made
to locate the underground waters of
the Greeley district and to secure all
the information possible regarding
their depth, volume and reliability.

WRONG LETTER TO SUITORS.
GIrI Succeeds in Stopping Them at the
P0steffice,

The Chicago Postoffice has beer
bombarded since Thursday morning
with kilograms from young woman
of Kansas City, asking, begging, i'm
ploring that two letters which she had
mailed to Chicago man be stopped.
She explained that her whole future
happiness and that of others depended
upon stopping the letters.
'Hold the letters. 1 am on my way
to Chicago.
That was her last message. Others
contained the information that the dis
tracted young woman, having two
propositions of marriage, had answer
ed both, but had put the letters in the
wrong envelopes.
The young woman, whose name is
Withheld, arrived this morning. She
rushed into the postoffice and told who
she was. "Have you got them?" she
asked in breathless suspedse.
Here are two letters that we stop
ped in answer to your kilograms" said
the superintendent.
The excited young woman fairly
swooped upon the outstretched hand
holding the envelopes. ''See this is
the one to the man l meant to marry.
1t says No." she exclaimed to the
sympathetic clerks. ''And here is the
one to the man to whom I wish to be
only a sister. It says Yes
''I'll go all the way to Kansas City
before l write another letter. Then
I'll write my yes letter on Sunday
and wait week before l write the

APPLES MAKE YOU YOUNG.
The Great Value of a Fruit Now in
SeaSen.

AS the apple season is with us again,
saws Answers, it is well to remember
that this fruit contains larger per
centage of phosphorus than any other
fruit or vegetable. This phosphorus
is admirably adapted for renewing the
essential nervous matter of the brain
and spinal cord. Also, the acids of the
apple are of signal use for men of sed-
entary habits, whose lives are sluggish
in action, those acids serving to elimi-
nate from the body novions matters,
which, if retained, would make the
brain heavy and dull, or bring about
jaundice OF skin eruptlons and other
allied troubles.
Some such All experience must have
led to our custom Of taking apple sauce
with roast pork, rich goose and like
dishes. j., The malic acid of ripe apples,
either raw or cooked, will neutralize
any excess of chalky matter engender
ed by eating too much.
1t is also the fact that such fresh fruits
as the apple, pear and the plum, when
taken ripe and without sugar, diminish
acidity in the stomach rather than
provoke it. Their vegetable salts and
juices are converted into alkaline car
which tend to ,counteract
acidity.
A good, ripe, raw apple is one of the
easiest of vegetable substances for the
stomach to deal with, the whole pro-
cess of its digestion being completed
a eighty-fve minutes.
A poultice made of rotten apples is
If very common use in Lincolnshire
or the cure of weak or rheumatic eyes.
Likewise IN the Hotel des Invalides, at
Paris, an apple poultice is used COM
monty for infamed eyes. the apple be-
ug roasted and its pulp applied over
he eyes without any intervening sub
tance

American Venice For Lawson.

Thomas W. Lawson is going to build
a miniature Venice on the rugged coast
.Of Maine. He has bought two islands
off StOnington and has an option on
II others. which he will pay for when
the titles are proved to bis satisfaction.
These islands are situated in Isle Au
Haunt bay, and are about Is miles
from the mainland. Saddleback, the
largest of the group, contains over 40
acres. They are close together and
many of them can be connected by
bridges. They are all covered with a
heavy growth of spruce and fir balsam,
although there are stretches free of
woods.
1t is said that Mr.. Lawson will build
a castle on Saddleback and clear the
islands for golf links and tennis courts.
The others, it is said, he will put in
the hands of landscape artist, who
will furnish plans which will transform
the Lawson group of islands into a
Venice in America.
The location is one of the most beau
tiful on the Maine coast. Mr.. Lawson
can cruise around Bar Harbor, Camden
Rockland. VinaI Haven ane Buck
sport, and be within signaling distance
of his Venice. From Saddleback the
sea view is fine. Mount Desert can be
seen in the east and Camden mountains
loom up in the west.
The estimated cost of the islands is
$50, The total cost of the "Venice
in America" it is said, will be about
81, ,OOO, 900.

BIG KANSAS WHEAT PLANTING.
Acreage Used This Fall Largest in His.
tory of the State.

Wichita, Kan, Oct. 15.-Kansas has
gone wheat crazy. The acreage will
be the largest ever known in the his.
tory of the State.
Kansas will show vast increase in
it's wheat acreage and an equal dimuni.
tiOn in its corn acreage. Although
Kansas has for the past two years pro.
dpced more wheat than any other State
in the Union, it has a much larger area
in corn than wheat. But last season
the corn crop was total failure, and
this has caused the farmers to plow
up their cornfelds and SOW them in
wheat this Fall. Everywhere one sees
signs of industry of this nature.
In the great producing counties
of Jewell and Republic there will not
be one fourth as much corn planted
next Spring as has been in the past.
Jewell county claims to be the banner
corn county of the United States. In
1896 it produced nearly II 100000 bush
els of corn, in an area only thirty miles
square. The combined crops Of Jewell
and Republic counties that year
amounted to upward of 20. 000,0 bush
els. Jewell county's corn has hereto
fore run from 225 900 to 300 900 acres.
It's wheat, on the other hand, has run
from $1,000 to 50, 900 acres.
The coming year will see the condi-
tions reversed. AS it is in these coun
ties one sees it almost everywhere over
the entire State. In Summer county,
the banner wheat county of the world,
this year were raised 100000 bushels
of wheat from 200, 900 acres. This year
they will put every acre of farming
ground in the 'county-300,0 600 acres
in wheat, and next year expect to raise
10000, 900 bushels of wheat, or enough
to feed every citizen of Kansas for
weeks. In the past year over 1000, 900
acres of land that has been used in
corn raising has been turned into
wheat fields, and this Fall it IS esti
mated that only 1000. 600 acres of corn
land will be changed, making the wheat
crop of next year no less than 120 ,00O,-
900 bushels.

Six Times Around the Earth.

While the general public is vaguely
aware that enormous quantities of ma
terial are used in the making of the
modern magazine, comparatively few
persons have any idea of the vast
amount required. If the paper used
in the last twelve issues of the Ladies
Home Journal, for instance, were in
one gigantic strip foot wide, it would
go nearly six times around the earth
at the equator, or almost forty three
times from New York to San Fran
cisco. In other words, such ~ strip
would be more than 14O, 900 miles long
If the copies of a single edition of the
Journal were piled one on top of an
oJher. they would tower to a height of
nearly two miles, almost two thou
sand feet more than the average height
of the Alps, or half as high again as
Mount Washington. To print The
Journal on this huge mass of paper
takes almost 5000 gallons of ink every

River Work in Michigan.

The United States Geological Survey
is this season conducting series of in
vestigations in Southern Michigan
which are of both local and general in
| terest. The southern part of Lower
Michigan is primarily an agricultural
section. but very prominent among its
natural advantages are it's inland wat
er resources. Several of its larger
streams, the st. Joseph, Kalamazoo,
Huron and Grand Rivers in particular,
have come to hold an important rela-
tion to the economic development of
the state through the excellent water
power facilities which they furnish.
One of the physical characteristics of
Michigan is in large measure respOn
sible for it's available water powers. A
considerable area, both in the northern
and southern parts, lies at an altitude
of about 1000 feet above tide water,
or some 400 feet above the level of the
Lakes. In this elevated country most
of the streams have their rise, and, as
their descent for the first 800 feet is in
many instances quite rapid, admirable
opportunities for the development of
water power are the result. Thus
numerous flour, lumber and paper
mills, electric light and power plants
and other manufacturing industries
have grown up along their banks.
Thousands of horsepower are already
in use, but there is still considerable
unused energy awaiting development.
The Investigations which the Geologi-
cal Survey is making among these riv-
ers consists in the careful gaging and
measurement of their flow, in the de-
termination of their protiles or the ele-
vation of the successive points in their
courses, in observations of both their
low water and freshet stages. and in
collecting other information which will
be of value in their future develop
ment. These Investigations are part
of the general study of the water re-
sources OF Ghe country which mas Deen

A hearty appetite dose not always
indicate healthy condition. 1t is not
the quantity of food which is eaten but
the quantity which IS assimilated,
which determines the actual value of
the food consumed. If the stomach
and organs of digestion and nutrition
cannot convert the food into nourish
ment, and into blood, then the food is
an injury instead of benefit. For all
disorders of the stomach and it's allied |
