The French Farmers Are Rich.
The population of France is more than
sSc3r, COO. or about half as large as that
Of the United States. 1t has only about
900 less people than Great Britain
and Ireland but there the country is
owned by lords and the rich. 1t is one OF
vast estates and the most of it is pasture
rather than cultivated farms indeed all
the farm lands sof the United Kingdom
are held by about 1900 men. In France
there are more than 100000 land owners,
and the average holding is less than six
acres. The French farmers have always
made money They know how TO I'll the
soil as we'll as, if not better, than any
other people on earth, and they till 1t SO
well that they practically support and
feed themselves. They raise more than
300. 900 900 bushels Of wheat every year,
and Il is only when their crop is short
t,aststheyihsvesto import breadstuffs from
us. About four men out Of every ten
are engaged in farming. and it is esti-
mated that one fifth Of all the French
earnings come from the soil. France
grows more wheat in proportion to its
population than any European nation ex-
cept Russia Her land has been farmed
hundreds of years. but by careful Gull
tpre it still yields far more per acre than

and although France has a national debt
OF almost $1,000, 100000. it is held by its
own people. They receive the interest,
and they have millions upon millions to

tractive shapes may be found in the
felt models for winter wear, and
among these is what may be called the
Tam-o'-Shanter toques, which are
made piquantly pretty by the pres
ence of bandeau which tits them
up in front and gives full effect to the
presence of a deft drapery of soft silk
through which are thrust two curry
ing quilts.
A soft gray-green Tam-o'-Shanter,
for instance, will be contrasted with
pale turquoise blue silk, and tawny
brown quilts; another is study in
scarlet with a relieving touch of white
i'm the pattern of the soft silk; while
again a nut-brown with trimmings of
,orget-me-not blue is quite charming
One model which is likely, l think,

this toque can be obtained in any
other desired colorings that are in
vogue this season.
Another that is especially notable
is made in cloth, which can, of course.
De arranged to match exactly any and

case being soft gray-blue, which

Then the wide, bell-shaped sleeves

which. at the back, forms a curtain
like drapery over the hair. For the
rest two broad brown quilts, clasped
by paste buckle, are so arranged as
to sweep forward from the left side
of the brim.
A decidedly piquant little hat dis
plays the fashionable union of blue
and green. the dark but bright blue of
the felt being flecked with green,
which is repeated in the velvet drawn
round the crown, and forming two
ear shaped loops at the back, divided
by long slide of shining paste, while
then the plumage of the bird poised
SO jaHntily at the left side, shades
from blue to green.
One of the notable novelties has
crown of cream cloth, while the up
turned brim is of fawn chenille, inter-
plated with white, this quaint and
pretty fabric being caught together
over the white cloth at the back by
interlacings of gold and steel, and
finally finishing off towards the left
side in quantity knotted bow. Quite
new effect this, while for finishing
touch there is bird of many hued
plumage poised on the crown, it's DOM
inant tawny tint merging into purple
and green and black.
A beaver felt has the soft fawn color
ing of the felt repeated by the prettily
shaded wing feathers curving out at
the side from the decorative bondage
of great cut steel buckle, which also
catches in a drapery of darker brown
silk.
One model have seen is a smart lit
tie hat of hairy white felt, with two
long and beautifully marked quilts
curving right across the front, while.
at either side, comes a chou of tur-
quoise tinted satin, with striped
bordering of black, this pretty ribbon
being looped together, at the back, SO
that it droops over the hair in the
graceful manner demanded by fash
ion.

Coats for the winter season are
showing an eiaborateness that has
seldom been equaled, and the new
models are destined to be unusually
popular because of this elaborateness
coming, as they do, at time when the
American woman feels that she can
afford to indulge in some of Madame
Modes best offerings.
But while the fashionable coats are
elaborate they are IN no ways loud or
gaudy. For the most part they are
studies in soft shades of tan and fawp,
or delicate biscuit and ivory tones
colors. these. which can be depended
upon to harmonic with any costume
and to do equally decorative and use
full duty for day or evening wear,
while it is wonderful to note what a
variety Of effects are secured in these
similar shades by the cleverly devised
trimmings.
Illustrations of two of the many at
tractive models are shown here. The
first, a graceful three-quarter coat,
ing of old ivory, the saeqae shape just
suggesting the lines of the figure at
the sides and fastening down the front
with bordering scroll design >ap-
plique in darker brown cloth, which
makes background for a silken braid
ing in two Paler shades of fawn and
brown. this design giving place about
the knees to holder and more decora-
tive device of vine leaves, and of cins-
tering grapes, which are wrought in
striug-colored lace and embroidery

UNCLE HIRAM ON CITY LIFE.

Yes. it's lively in the city where they've
got their 'lectric lights.
And the people soon have wrinkles from
their stayin' out O. nights;
They've got shows and things to keep 'em
from a-gittin' lonesome there,
And they look alfred stylish in the costly
clos they wear,
But / guess they have their troubles just
the same as me and you,
And reckon that they're often ruther
worse'n ours, too.
We've got wood piled in the woo6shed
that'li last year er so,
And there's more out where that come
from and more sapAn's still to grow;
We amt worried over coal strikes, let tie
cold wirds blow away;
We can carry in the billets and not have a
cent to pay;
While they're shiverin' up yonder where
they've got so much to see
We can heat up fer the babies that tie
Lords sent you and me.
There is always somethin' doin' to make
city people sad;
If it ain't sausage famine, why you IL hear
the waters bad;
When the strikers stop the street cars then
the dickens is to pay,
And the people have to foot it, gittin'
dubbed along the way,
And the fever epidemics and the smallpox
every year
Keep the city people stewin', ard I'm glad
10 live out here.
Oh, it's quiet in the country and there's
few uncommon sights,
And Coos moon and, stars up yonder have
to do fer 'lectric lights,
But with 'taters in the cellar and with
woo0 piled in the shed,
When there's hay stacked in the haymows
fer the stock that must be fed,

And the kind OLD quiet country will be good
enough fer me.

OF WORLDWIDE IMPORTANCE.
Three Important Events Which WIZ
Occur In St. Louis Ia the Pre-
Expedition Year, 1908.

st. Louis, July 28.-World's fair Of /
fcials are Of the opinion that the fact
is already established that next year,
though not the exposition year, will
be the most important and stirring
period in the history Of the city, and
hardly less beneficial in its results
than the exposition year itself. The
reason for this representation is
that already three events Of world
wide interest have been arranged for
st. Louis for the pre-exposition year,
and that many more are likely to be
attracted. There are now on the cal
endar for next year the dedication
Of the fair on April 30; the annual
meeting OF the North American
saengerbund, from June II to June
20, inclusive, and the meeting Of the
international Pr congress in Au-
gust. The latter organization has
Just closed its convention for this
year at Berne, Switzerland, one Of the
final steps taken being an arrange
ment for meeting in st. Louis in 1903.
"There san be no doubt" said one
Of the chief officials Of the exposi-
ton, that the pre-eXposition year
will be the most important to st.
Louis Of any other year for a long
time, and Of only q little less inter
est than the exposition year itseu.
The management Of the fair has cal
culated the Importance Of this year
TO the city, and has made special
preparations. That was one reason
the Liberal Arts building was re-
modelled, to a considerable extent,
and the court feature eliminated. 1t

big events, and viii be offered to
movements Of sufficient magnitude

tire latter half Of the next year.
"The first event, that Of the dedica-
ton of the exposition, while impor-
tant in itself is not likely to prove
of so much general interest as those
which follow. Only a few weeks at
ter the dedication the musicians of

FOR A CATTLE EXHIBIT,
Senator Harris, of Kansas, on His
Why to Europe-Hopes 10 Het
Famous Queen Victoria Herd

Washington, July Ex-senator Har-
ris. of Kansas was in Washington
Sunday on his way to Europe, where
he hopes to obtain for the St, Louis
expor ton the greatest exhibit +
live stock ever seen in one collection.
The special object Of his mission is
to enter into negotiation, through
the American ambassador at London,
with the object of bringing to Ameri-
ca, for exhibition at st, Louis, the Ia
nous herds of cattle of the late
Queen Victoria, now owned by King
Edward VII,
These herds have been exhibited in
England many times at live stock
shows, and Senator Harris thinks
there is a good chance Of bringing
them to America. He goes to Europe
as a special commissioner of the ex-
position to make the arrangements If
possible.

States minister here, Mr.. Conger, has
secured an audience with the emperor
for John Barrett, the commissioner
general Of the exposition for Asia
and Australia, for tomorrow, wheL
the announcement will be formally
made.
Mr.. Conger tonight entertained at
dinner the members of the council
and of the foreign Office, who dis

Quake Felt at Omaha.

Omaha, Neb,, July 29.-An earth
quake shock, which was general over
portions of Nebraska, western Iowa
and South Dakota, occurred shortly
before one o'clock Monday The
seismic disturbances were felt at a
large number Of towns in the three
states, and lasted from ten to fifteen
seconds. No damage has been report
ed thus far, although the shock was
sufficient to rattle dishes and affect
bell towers in some places.
Yankton, S. D., reports shock OF
70 seconds duration; the Santee
Agency, in northern Nebraska, re-
ports the occurrence of a quake, and
Battle Creek, Neb., was shaken for
20 seconds. The disturbance was
more plainly felt at the latter place
than at any others which have thus
far reported.
In this city the shake was barely
dscernable, and few people knew of
such a thing until the weather bu-
reau reported tonight.
