THE pAKoTAs NEED RAIN.
Wheat Crop There and I'm Minnesota
 Reduced 4O.OOO.OOO Bushels.


 ST. PAUL, July 16.-No rain has fallen in Minnesota or in the Da1otas for ten days. In South Dakota the mercury has been around 107 degrees for four days, with a hot wind blowing. Late sown wheat has suffered loss of 90 per cent. Dispatches were received yesterday from Huron, Aberdeen, Eureka and along the James River valley south to Iowa, where some of the reports show total loss. Some grain in the southern part of the state is ripe and being cut. Experts estimate the loss, if the present heat continues, at an additional 10 per cent each day. The heavy loss is in the greatest wheat grow ing section.
 Taking the three states, it appears that the loss up to date will be about 40,0O0,- 900 bushels of wheat. A month ago the total yield was estimated at 200,0O0,OO0 bushels for the three states, so that with favorable conditions from this time the yield will be about 60.000,000 bushels. an increase of 90.OO0,O00 over last year. Very little corn is raised in northern South Dakota, northern Minnesota and NoSth Dakota, but in the latter sections this promises to be a good crop.

chants, Kettles in srinnesot..

In the Interstate park, near Tay- lor's falls, Minnesota, has been dis covered a singular group of giants kettles," or pot-holes, covering an area of two or three acres and rang ing in diameter from less than a foot to 25 feet, and in depth from one foot to s4 feet. They have been bored in exceedingly hard rock, and in many cases they are like wells in shape, the ratio of width to depth varying from one to five up to one to seven. Mir. Warren Upham ascribes their origin to torrests falling through glacial mouths" at the time when the northern territory of the United States was buried under ice. As with similar pot-holes else where, rounded powders are occa- sionally found at the bottom of the cavities.-Youth's Companion.

PLANS A HUSBAND BOUNTY.
Japanese Government Proposes to Reward Girls Who Marry Col-
 Iege Students.

Maidens of Japan who succeed in Interesting young Japanese students long enough to induce them to get married will be rewarded in the near future with matrimonial dowries by the mikado's government if the plans of leading Japanese statesmen prove as successful as expected, according to Secretary Yomma, of the Japan sse consulate in Chicago, reports the Chronicle.
 What led the secretary to make the announcement as to the prospective husband bounty bill was the pub lished account of the lecture in which Prof. Starr, of the University of Chi eago, made the sensational state ment before his class in anthropol- ogy that the marvellous advance of the Japanese i'll the learning and civ ilization of the western countries had proved too rapid and was making them the victims of an epidemic of brain fever that threatened their ex- tinction as a nation.
 Statistics show that students in Japan are affected more by eye trou- bles from overstudy' than by brain fever," said Secretary Yomma. Ut is true that our young men are very studious, but our young women are not expected to be scholars. They are encouraged in the cultivation of feminine graces and charms, and it is becoming fad with some of our statesmen to advocate a liberal mar riage bounty for the maiden who proves herself sufficiently fascinating to cause young man at college to forsake his books long enough to get married"

DROUGHT CONTINUES.
Inhabitants in the Corn Belt Pray
 For Rain.

Chicago, July 16.-Practically no rain has tallen Ill the corn belt, and tns temperatures reported from Kansas, Nils souri and Iowa are very high, showing practically no change. The heat through out the region is extreme The entire corD belt is dry and hot. Clear weather gen erally is reported.
 Crops are in bad shape throughout west Missouri, Kansas and southern Iowa, ex cept wheat. The wheat yield is big. though there have been heavy losses by fire and the scorching dryness has re suited in considerable waste in harvest ing. Corn, both in Missouri and Kansas. has already been seriously hurt and is getting worse. Good judges say that not over 60 per cent crop would be possible now even with immediate rain, and there is no sign of rain Oats have been prac- tically ruined. They have gone to 40 cents on the local market. Hay is selling at S22 a ton, an unprecedented figure here. Many stockmen are already feed ing wheat. There is plenty of it, but this feeding demand and the usual sympathy with corn is stiffening the price. Many of the churches are holding regular meet ings to pray for rain.
 Farmers who are affected by the drought are placing their only hope in late corn. The lack of water IS serious problem, and many artesian wells are be- ing bored to relieve the difficulty. Farm CTS have been hauling water for from two to ten miles for their stock. There will be no hazel nuts or acorns for stock that run on the range to feed on unless it rains soon. The highest temperature recorded, at St. Joseph, was no degrees.
 Reports from Arkansas show that the excessively high temperature the last four weeks has greatly damaged all the growing crops. Local showers have fallen in nearly every county, but they were so light and scattered as to be of no benefit to the crops. The early corn crop is a complete failure. In some DOT tions of north Arkansas no corn will be raised. The cotton crop in the bottom lands was doing fairly well up to a week ago,sbu has sustained great deal of damage since then.

Disease-sprendinr Skirts.

The trailing skirt is an effective agent for the collection and dissemina- tion of disease germs. Out of homes infected with consumption and other diseases this cumbrous creation goes forth carrying it's death-dealing bacilli into the streets, public places and cars where the accommodating apparel of other women gives them hospitality. They are thus transferred to homes not yet contaminated by disease, but which, thanks to every lady's draper ies, soon become foci for infection.- Chicago Tribune.
