Helpfng = sculptor.

When Macmonnies. the American
sculptor. was a young man working In
Paris, Falguiere. the famous French
sculptor. on one occasion entered his
atelier and found there a beautiful
Diana that had been for months ION
the stocks and was approaching a
perfection measurably satisfactory to
the sculptor himself
Falguiere became 50 absorbed IN the
work before him as to forget that 1t
was not his own. He began to twist
and pull the dainty limbs Of Diana this
way and that. to punch her In the ribs.

He had really intended to do Mac

him the greatest compliment Of which
he was capable. but the young sculp-
tor was In distress, for on comparing
the remodeled Diana with a photo
graph Of Falguiere's statue OF the
same character he found the French
man had u~nconsciously made a prac-
ticai replica Of the other. Macmon-
mics did not rest until he had restored
his statue to its original pose.

valuable time was being wasted in
cleaning sardines when preparing them
for the market. He found n way CT
preparing them without cleaning them,
and on this he took out letters patent.

perfectly suited with his invention,

Richmond is progressing finely with
the paving OF the public square; and
now a fierce controversy is on in regard
to hitch racks. Every county seat has
this trouble whenever 1t attempts to
remove hitch racks from the court
house square. A good place ought to
be provided in every town so that
country people may not be forced to
patronize the livery stables IN good
weather If they do not wish to do so,
but considerations of safety and santa
ton require that hitch racks In the
heart of town should go. There is too
much danger of runaways on crowded
streets to endure a great tangled mass
of vehicles and horses on main streets.
Besides filth endangers the health of
those who must live and work IN the
immediate vicinity.

nnr Greatest crnn Year-

Columbia, Mo, August 16.-Secre-
tary Geo. Ellis. Of the state board Of
agriculture, has given out figures on
the wheat and corn crops of Missouri
for the present year; also figures COM
paring the yield of wheat aud corn this
year with previous years.
Secretary Ellis estimates that the
wheat crop of Missouri this year will
average twenty bushels to the acre.
He says that the yield on some farms
will reach as high as forty or fifty
bushels per acre.
This yield is much larger than any
previous yield in this state. The
largest previous yield was in 1900 and
1901. In both Of these years the crop
averaged sixteen bushels to the acre..
This year the wheat crop will exceed
$4,000, 900 bushels. Comparing this
ylelu with the estimates OF other wheat
producing states, it Is seen that Mis-
souri, which has heretofore been chiefly
noted for her corn, ranks second only
to Minnesota, where the estimated
wheat yield is 10000, 900 bushels.
The corr crop Of the state this year
probably will amount to 800, 900, 900
bushels, which, according to estimates
given out by other states, will be the
largest crop Of any state in the union.
The acreage planted in corn this year
was 7,645,6OO acres, and according to
the present indications, the crop prob
ably will average as much as forty
bushels to the acre.

account Of the Baker system of ship
ping fruit and vegetables without ice.
The process is a secrei one but consists
10 burning a package Of powder 10 the

and the ventilstors are opened an hour
or two before reaching destination.
Experiments have been made IN send
ing fruit from Texas to Boston and
other long distances. This process
costs about one-third as much as ship
ping with ice. The Baker company
has all the money il wants and has no
stock for sale. II further experiments
prove successful, this system will be Of
great benefit to gardeners and fruit
men, especially in places where only a
small quantity is produced for ship
ment.

Lebanon Rustic: A party of capital

closed a deal for the purchase Of q
5%,000-acre tract of land, which lies
three miles east OF Lebanon, aud pro-
pose to put the entire tract into one
immense orchard, which will be
set in apple trees and one thousand
acres are given to the raising of
peaches. The Frisco railroad has
agreed to build a branch road, S12
mile long into this orchard. The pro-
moters of this big enterprise spent sew
eral weeks travelling through the fruit
belt of Missouri, investigating soils and
climate conditions, having with them
an eminent expert on soils. Their
observations and tests proved to them
that this point was the most favorable
for the launching of their enterprise.
