fies the court to find any such thing IN
the record. But the case has wider
significance. 1t was case IN Whlch
a man deeply in debt sold his home-
stead of 40 acres and some time after
with the proceeds of the sale purchased
147 acres of land claiming exemption
for the whole because it was purchased
with homestead money. In fact he had
placed 40 acres in his own name and
the rest in the name of his wife. Mr..
Temple argues that this is a misuse of
the homestead exemption law and
would lead to many complications and
frauds on creditors He claims that
If the decision of the court stands
as the rule in this state a debtor has
an absolute exemption not only on his
homestead when so occupied but upon
the proceeds of the homestead when
sold and no matter how used or to what
extent he has gone in the matter of
preparing for fraud. Mr.. Temple gives
notice of his intention to argue the
case orally and he is sure to make an
interesting talk to the high court.
1t is believed that the pearl but
ton industry in Iowa is soon to be
mergerized and consolidated. Rumors
to that effect have been common some
time. Now new companies are being
formed with large capital and others
are enlarging and the signs indicate

at no distant date. The industry has
been growing enormously in recent
years and the next report of the state

HYBR1Ds AND NATURAL Law.

The most wonderful things that ap-
peal to us in the study Of bird and ami
NAL life are the inviolateness and GER
tainty with which nature preserves
the different varieties of the same spe-
cies. Nature very rarely indeed pro-
duces hybrids of any kind. Only un-
der the demonstrating care and manip-
ulation of man are hybrids produced
For instance, take the family of tinches
or fly eaters in birds, with a score or
more Of separate and distinct varieties,
some SO closely allied to others that
only the marking of a few feathers or
a crest or fractional difference in
length of wing or size marks the varia-
ton. yet the law Of selection and mat
Ing is SO carefully observed that each
type of family is, always has been and
always will be kept distinct. So rigid
and certain is this natural law that
hybridization is practically impossible
under it. Nothing in nature is to be
found like the blending of types Of
man so common all over the world
The mixing of white men with Ethio-
plan, Malay Indian. the hybrid prod
-uct of the race to be found in hun
dred types, is a violation of natural
and wise law. evidenced by the uni

.brids. 'Twerc well did man follow ma

a CARNIVAL OF CLOVER.

A peculiar phenomenon has been
noted during June of this year in the.
remarkable development of white.
clover in all blue grass pastures in
Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois such a
dense growth Of the clover, almost to
the entire exclusion Of the blue grass,
and mass Of bloom such as we have
never before seen. making the pasture
lands look as though a snow had drift
ed over them. and the air filed with
a delicate fragrance suggestive Of a
daintily gowned and trigged lady
whose perfumed presence arrests at:
tention, the bloom and its hidden
sweets making high carnival for the
bees. a harvest feast such as they sell
dom have. It is interesting to ask
why this clover should this year make
such remarkable development. Was.

Il It is well to discriminate in assigning
causes for the disastrous foods Of the.
year in the western sections. The food
which swept the Kaw valley in Kan
sas and, later, moving south, wrought
so much damage at st. Louis cannot
be traced to the cutting away Of the
forests. as the country which these
food waters came from Is not and
never has been in any sense timbered'
country, but a vast reach Of treeless
prairies, and these destructive waters
were the result Of unprecedented rains,
long continued, all over the territory
drained by the Kaw and its tributaries.
The periodical foods In the Ohio river
may, however, be clearly traced to the
denudation Of the hill and mountain
eountry which 1t drains.
