one continuous garden. Roses scent
the air; there are perfect roads; no
hovel of poverty can be found for
miles; the scenes are of such beauty
as to have attracted a generation ago
men like Bryant and Longfellow and
Hawthorne and Sedgwick and Holmes.
The house is long and low, ros.e-em-
powered and struggling, the ideal home
from which to lead a bride. The
honeymoon is to be spent at Bilt-
more, George Vanderbilt's stately So
lace in North Carolina. For Miss
Sloane is niece of the Vanderbilts,
and the first member of the family to
wed for some time with parental APP
prevail. Young Cornelius estranged
his father by marrying Grace Will
son; Alfred Vanderbilt chose Miss
French, when his mother would have
preferred Miss Bronson. Miss Alice
Shepard, another niece, broke her
pious mothers heart by wedding
Dave" Hennen Morris, son of a. typi-
cal sporting man, who had ruined
thousands of homes as the head of the
great Louisiana lottery. Miss Sloane's
choice meets with approval.

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY.

A good idea for mending hole in
an umbrella is to stick on very firm
ly black court plaster inside the
cover.
Economical women are making
bags to wear at the side of velvet,
brocaded or plain silk, and some
times of cloth to match the skirt.
They are very simply made and fas-
tened on the belt with black ribbon.
An excellent way to use again a
little left of vegetable like peas,
beans or corn is to add to one cupful
of leftover cupful of hot water
and neat. Wash, strain and reheat.
Blend half tablespoonful each of
butter and -four, season, and stir in
the vegetable liquor. Add half cup
full of hot milk and serve.
Wallpapers that have become
bruised or have been slightly torn,
and which cannot be matched, are
not necessarily ruined; They can be
touched up with water-color paints,
so that at very little distance no
damage is perceptible. The paints
from a child's box - will be: good
enough, but you must mix the colors
to get the right shades and then
touch in the broken pattern. -

a swimming pool SIS feet by IS, two

1t is hoped that an Aston baby may

The Astors have but one child, a deli
cate boy, Vincent, ten years old. The
Astors have never hatI large families;
that is one reason why, though their
shillings have not been "nimble" by
comparison with Vanderbilt coins, the
individual Astors are richer than any
individual Vanderbilts. Fewer to
share.
The Aston "pleasure dome'' is only
an instance of the fashionable move
ment toward country life among the
wealthy. E. H. Hartman was scarcely
heard of outside Of Wall street five
years ago. Last week he entertained
the board of supervisors Of Orange
county at his country place, Arden, in
the Ramapo hills. There he has 81
600 acres, mostly primeval forest.
threaded by miles of magnificent
macadam road. To see this road was
the object of the outing; Mr.. Harri-
man would help the county to build
such roads-as George Gould has done
in Lakewood-as A. J. Cassatt, presi-
dent Of the Pennsylvania railroad, has
done at his country home.
One summer night in a New York
newspaper Office when things were
dull Doc" Cohen. a star reporter,
wrote from ina giration thrilling ac-
count of the underwater palace of
cool green glass which the king of
Siam had Cor so he said) in lake in
his palace grounds, to which he could
retire through the heat of the day.
Through the heat Of that day in Arden
Mr.. Hartman invited the supervisors
to cool off upon a floating islandin the
middle of Forest lake in his great do
main.
These vast estates cannot exist near
the city. Nevertheless, Payne Whit
ney has bought on Long Island within
sight of the towers of Brooklyn bridge
several farms that give him united over
300 acres. TO this country home he
is to take his bride, who was Helen
Hay.

recent ancestor was the grand consta-
BILE of France. The family emigrated
to this country because of religious
troubles. Before the war Swits Cond's
father had little factory up the state
Swits CoCnde enlarged the business by
leaps and bounds and became a sup
posed millionaire.
Both of Condos daughters eloped.
Miss Marie fell in love with Ensign
Stone, of the navy. They were
forbidden to marry and eloped, but
were caught before the ceremony
could be performed. Condo was be-
side himself with rage-else he
would surely never have demanded
from Secretary Long court-mar-
tial for Stone, who had done nothing
dishonorable; and so Mr.. Long de-
cided. Really he couldn't keep track
of his young mems love affairs. He
may have thought, too, that one of
his handsome officers was match
for any girl. But the romance was
broken up. Miss Stone later mar
ried Lebbeus Rogers, and shortly
after died.
The second daughter, Ruth Condo,
met George B. Thorn, volunteer
soldier this time, and they ran away
and were married. Again old Swits
Condo was furious, but his wrath
cooled and he was in Thorn's house
in New York when he died. The
only son of Condos was declared a
bankrupt last winter; he is also
named Swits, and known as a liberal
user of money. Recently the old
man, disappointed in the most of his
earthly ambitions died untimely, and
the Colonial Trust company took
mortgage against all the real and
personal property of the once
wealthy man.
Thus goes out of sight family
that has been famous in this coun-
try. There may be more Swits Con-
des-the son is yet alive-but the
family will not again be prominent
in society. What a theme for
story-teller.

ueut anu MS TWO
sons of thirteen and fou: teen years of
age, with another adult player added.
George Gould, head of the South
western system of railroads known
by his name, head of the Western
Union Telegraph, head of the New
York elevated railroad system,
dashes across the field like a young
demon; slender, boyish figure,
with hair still coal black bright eyes
and active movements. The two
boys preserve the Gould type
small, light. dark eyes, active and ut
terly daring. The two men and two
boys were far too strong for the
four men opposed to tne:n.
The first Jay Gould WAS not con-
sidered physically brave After an
assault made upon him by disap-
pointed Wall street operator he new
err went into the street unaccom-
panied by stalwart guard. In this
as in other respects his son is IN
like him, and the grandsons carry
the unlikeness farther.
1t IS striking example of what
devotion to sport will do in modify
ing heredity. In appearance the boys
are their grandfathers over again
But the mental type is different. In
money matters they will be con-
| servative where he was bold.

GrasshOppers.

F. /. Washburn, state entomologist,
has been visiting localities in Norman
county reported infested with grass
hoppers and is now studying the con-
ditions near the Hill river district.
He reports only slight damage to
oats in one locality in Norman county.
considerable injury to flax, barley and
oats near Gentilly, Polk county, but
the rest restricted to one place.
He says that the condition at Hill
river is most serious and discouraging
to the farmers.
Grasshoppers are now for the most
part winged and feeding on the softer
kernels in heads of grain not touched
by them when they\ were younger;
that is, they are spreading over iar-
ger district, and the outlook for rext
year in that locality is so discc'uraging
that some farmers declare they will
leave the country unless something is
done to reach the cause of the trou-
BILE, which is an unplowed stubble
land.
AS far as one can distinguis OBJ
jects of that size, grasshoppers can
be seen on almost every head of wheat
in some OF the fields.

Crop Bulletin.

Spring wheat, oats, barley. and fax
are generally in splendid condition,
though in parts of the Red River val
ley which were flooded in the spring,
the wheat is about two weeks later
than usual; in southern counties there
are scattered reports of rust in whea'
and oats, and on rich soils wheat,
oats and some rye are lodged in small
areas. Wheat and oats are heading in
the extreme north; rye and winter
wheat are being harvested, or they
are ready to harvest, and early barley
cutting is begun in central and south
ern portions. Flax is in all stages of
growth, the earliest sown beginning
to turn color in places. Corn is still
rather small, but the favorable wealth
er is making it grow rapidly. The po-
tato crop is a good one; and early po-
tatoes are being marketed. A great
deal OF clover and timothy hay has
been secured in the southern half of
the state, and wild hay is being cut.
The rains have spoiled considera bic
hay in parts of the southeast. The
destructive winds on the 5th lessened
the apple crop materially in southern
counties.

Found Dead.

William Milleau, a prisoner at the
Hennepin county Jail awaiting the ac-

dead in the Jail bathroom under cir
cumstances which would seem to indi-
cate that he had committed suicide.
He was found lying on the floor while
the hot water was running at it's full
capacity over his head and face which
were badly scalded. He died a few
minutes after being found by Jailer
Fox.
An autopsy held by Coroner Will
Jams revealed the fact that death was
due primarily to the shock of the
burns and secondarily to alcoholism.
The 1nan was suffering from delirium
tremens and it is believed that he may
have committed the act while deliri-
