A CHEERFUL QUEEN i.
Pleasing Pen-Picture of the Kind
Hearted Lady Who Rules the Des-
TIMES of ROmania.

Much has been written of Queen
Elizabeth of Roumania (the poet Gar
men Sylvan, one of the interesting
and admirable royal figures of Eu-
rope. The Century contains a little
paper on her summer life in the noun
tains by Nine. Zoe de Bolatchano, once
of her court, who gives this agreeable
glimpse of her:
Sometimes, at a very early hour,
could hear the queens clear, powerful
voice caroling as joyously as bird
on awakening; or the sound of her
footsteps approaching my cell would
be followed by succession of sharp
little taps on the window with her
parasol. would jump up hastily, to
find it full day, ashamed to have been
caught mapping while my sovereign
was setting so admirable an example
in industry and early rising; yet
was never permitted to feel that
was not at liberty to do as pleased
On the contrary, the queens maternal
solicitude was aroused by my frail
health, and she was unremitting in her
ehOl uS W spare Lie unnecessary UIOu-
BILE or fatigue.
''In spite of this tender care, there
were times when the malady that ]
was endeavoring to throw off reas-
serted itself and confined me to my
bed. It was during these depressing
hours that I learned to know the full
significance of the name Maica rani-
tilor ('mother of the wounded"} be-
slowed on the queen by the soldiers
when she moved among them on the
battlefield. Her presence by my
couch, the soothing effect of her
words, were restoratives that seldom
failed to act like charm She did not
always come alone, but sought to pro
vide diversion for me by making my
room a place where subjects of inter-
est could be discussed.
"On one occasion, a lady who had in
PRODUCED first one topic, then another,
strove to uphold the theory, and with
no small degree of eloquence, that a
person who had been overburdened by
sorrow in early years was not apt to
be happy later on. do not believe
that exclaimed the queen, smiling
brightly. Then, selling upon poetic
figure of expression, she added: Hap
piness is like the ocean 1t bears YOU
away from your past and its sorrow,
provided you do not persist in looking

BuenOs Ayres Law

Here is an illustration of justice as
she is administered in this free and
glorious country. A farmer up the
rivers caught small craft loading
produce from his, land. The thieves
were caught in the act. Complaint was
made to the river police and the boat
was detained when the case went to the
court. The owner, who was not with
the craft, visited the farmer and
begged him to have mercy and let his
craft go and not pursue the case, as it
would mean starvation to the family.
He listened to the plea and did not
present the witnesses, of which he had
several. The case then went by de
fault and the accused was acquitted.
After this the boat owner ran foul of
a shyster, who saw chance to mulct
the farmer, and he was condemned to
pay damages for accusing and not prov
ing his case, although he proved that
he had witnesses and desisted in mercy
to the thieves.-Buenos Ayres Herald.

ner of eXtravagances, unless she keeps
her wits about her.
In spite of the craze for new fabrics
we have returned to glace or taffeta
silk. After all, there is something par
ticularly fascinating about a black or
dark-colored taffeta gown, especially
when accompanied by one of the large
collars of handsome old lace. The big
lace collar is another fashion, by the
way, which absolutely refuses to be
downed.
Now to describe to you some of the
charming glace gowns which are be-
ing turned out just now by swell mo-
diste on one of the fashionable South
side avenues: A few are trimmed with
bewitching applique work done in mir
ror velvet, which gives the necessary
dressy touch to what would otherwise
be simple taffeta frock.
Others are decorated with little silk
cords; that is to say, the plain skirt
laces down the front and sides with
silk cords, finished with fancy POM
pons of silk; the bodice, of course,
being treated in similar manner.
Tags, tassels and fandangles of all
kinds and descriptions are features of
some of these taffeta gowns, but trim
ming of this sort is never seen at it's
best unless put on by the skilled fin
gers of the master hand. There is a
growing tendency, particularly notice
able in the new taffeta skirts, to trim
the hips, yet at the same time to keep
plain lines; and right here the indi-
vidual taste of the wearer can be seen
to the best advantage. nA
Among the new summer dress ma
terials is one known in the world of
fashion as printed eolienne," which
closely resembles foulard, but is much
handsomer in appearance. Gowns fash

BILE, and trimmed daintily with much
fine lace and ribbon. Innumerable
frills are an absolute necessity on the
average muslin frocl, to prevent any
hmpness showing about the knees or
feet, but they must, be light, and edged
with lace, to give the required airy
fairy appearance. The bodice of a
muslin frock is prettiest when made
with slightly pouched front and fin
ished with fichu or large collar Of
lace, or deep yoke of net trimmed
with insertions of lace, and the inevita-
BILE bow of knotted velvet ribbon.
Fashions may come and fashions
may go, but seemingly the blouse goes
on forever in spite of the fact that it's
speedy downfall has been predicted
many times by those wise ones who
were supposed to know all about such
important matters.
The new summer models in this
much beloved garment are simply ir-
resistible, whether made of lace, crepe
de chine, oriental satin or the more
useful pongee silk. Crepe de chine>of
the new washable variety and oriental,
which can also safely be intrusted to
the laundress, are the favorite mate
rails for the smarter blouses and are
really better wear than the cheaper
muslin ones, which are not infrequent-
ly trimmed with lace of a rather cheap
variety that will neither wash nor
wear well. The blouse made of ring
spot silk net is always beautiful, but
never cheap, for it takes an almost
endless amount of the material which
can in turn be manipulated only by the
clever fingers of the artistic, high
priced modiste, and to look its very
best it should be worn over an exqui-
sitely fitted underbodice fashioned of
handsome duchess satin; and this
same, let me tell you, cannot be bought
for the proverbial song by any man
ner of means.
The finishing of the neck of the sum-
mer blouse presents many difficulties
rather hard to overcome. There are
few women endowed by nature with
shapely white threats, who do well to
leave them bare, but when one has left
the twenties far in the rear this is apt
to prove dangerous fashion. 1t may
perchance be for this reason that
many of the newest and prettiest
blouses are finished with little round
collar made of plated net and lace, in
place of the stiff, high collar which
somehow seems to have fallen on evil
days.
On the new pique shirts the chief fea-
ture is the collar, but of very different
style from those 1 have been describ-
ing. They are large and of the very
coarsest lace. Now do not ina CINE

ALL AROUND THE FARM.

Did you ever try putting salt on hay
as it is being moved away? Some
claim it is good plan.
The potato crop in Kansas this year
is immense and 25 cents per bushel is
predicted for them by fall.
The scheme of placing all the cot
ton-oil mills of Oklahoma and Indian
territory in a combination has failed.
There are many things to consider
in the growth and development of a
crop besides the mere question of sup
plying the seeds or plants with soil
and water.
Farming is at high pressure in Kan
sas this season. A Franklin county
farmer committed suicide because he
could not get enough hands to take
care of his big crop.-Farmers' Advo-
cate.
The fertility of the fields should be
evenly distributed. The plant is sta
tionary and can only feed upon the
fertility within it's reach. If the soil
is made rich and poor in spots by rea-
son of applying manure in punches,
some plants will get too much fertil-
ity and others too little.
In farming, as in everything else, we
are largely the architects of our own
fortunes; we are mainly what we make
ourselves. Good luck is usually good
management; bad luck, bad manage
ment. The man who ina gines that his
neighbors are trying to get the advan-
tage of him, or that the world is
against him, seldom succeeds.-Farm-

Fall sown Alsike Glover,

About year ago noticed in some
agricultural paper that alsike clover
could be sown successfully in the fall.
It had not been tried here, and hest
tated before trying it; but, after talk
ing it over with some good farmers,
concluded to try it. On September 7
last I sowed with rye about four
quarts of alsike, and the same of tim
othy seed. 1t caught nicely, and now I
have an excellent seeding of -alsike, it
being SO high in most places that we
clip about a foot off in cutting the rye.
I never saw nicer catch of seeding,
and my present experience would
prompt me by all means to SOW again
in the fall, but quite early.-H. c. Har-
pendin, in n Y Tribune.

oUACK GRASS. AFTER BRITTON.

newed. II the patch is small one, the
quickest way to eradicate it is to dig
it I'D and take out all the rOotstocks.
A spading fork and rake with long
iron teeth are useful in this work. 1t
the patch is too large for this treat
ment, the starving and smothering
process may be employed. Plow the
patch or infested field, carefully turn
ing the sod so that NO grass shall ap-
pear above the surface after the plow-
ing is completed. In few days plow
the ground again, not giving time for
any new shoots of the grass to appear
above the surface. Repeat the plow-
ing as often as necessary throughout
the growing season. This ought to kill
the rootstocks by depriving them of
the sustaining power of their foliage
so long time. Should any yet chance
to survive, a quick-growing crop like
oats and peas planted in early spring
ought to complete the smothering and
killing process. If by the middle OF
September an examination of the root
stocks shows them to be weakened OF
shriveled, perhaps fertilizing the land
and sowing rye will complete the
smothering process as well as the
other course.-Country Gentleman.
