Care of Umbrella.

1t is not economy, though it may
seem so, to combine the use of rain
umbrella and a sunshade in one
article A manufacturer Of umbrellas
points cut that it is the Gil in the silk
which continues to wear When that
is dried out the material cracks and
is useless. The suns heat, obviously,
therefore, is not desirable and should
be kept from a good umbrella. A
cheap PONCE or silk and line parasol
may better be bought, as it will mean
perhaps year more wear for the
more expensive rain shield. A further
caution is the care of good umbrellas
is possibly known, but may be re-
peatod in this connection says Har-
per's Bazaar. This is that one should
always stand wet umbrellas handle
down, open If possible, that they may
drain at the points rather than where
the ribs met the stick, the latter pro-
cess rapidly rotting the silk.

NORTH DAKOTA WHEAT.
Not Even an Average Crop Will Be
Harvested This Year.

Fargo, N. D., July 17-North Dako-

year. 1t will not even be an average
crop. There is a big acreage on each
side OF the Northern Pacific west Of
Fargo and central between jamestown
and Steele that is badly hurt. Around
Happen there is practically nothing
Along the jamestown & Northern
branch between jamestown and
Leeds the crops are poor, and very bad
around Leeds. From Churchs Ferry
and from Rigby north of the Great
Northern there are thousands of acres
on which there will be nothing, with
some good spots, the entire area aver
aging less than half crop. Ward
county is the only section that has ell
joyed abundant rains, though some 9TH
er sections have fair crops The
southern counties have a good show.
The Red River valley recuperated won
derfully after the rains the first part
of the month and the chances advanced
from third to half crop up to about
a three-Quarter crop. In some sections
OF the state immediate rains will help,
but drouth of another week will make
the situation bad in many counties.
A ten-bushel crop for the entire
wheat acreage of the state is a big esti-
mate
Flax is looking we'll in most sections
oats, barley and millet are fair.

director of the Consumers Coal COM
pany Of Wilkesbarre, Pa.
William Ernest Henley, poet and
collaboration in several plays with
Robert Louis Stevenson, died in Lon
don at the age of "a years. He was
born at Gloucester in 1S49. In 1873
while an inmate of the Old In
firmary hospital, Edinburgh, he was
discovered by Robert Louis Stevenson,
who induced him to take up literature
as a calling and become his lifelong
friend. Henley went to London on
Stevenson's suggestion and became
one Of the editors OF the Magazine Of
server, weekly paper of comment
and criticism upon new and original
lines. This was afterward changed to
the National Observer. Later Henley
became editor of the New Review.
Henley's prominence was not due so
much to the quantity of his writings as
to their quality and the principles sug-
gested by them. The list of his pub
lished works is small: A Book Of
Verses, 1888; Views and Reviews:
Essays in Appreciation, 1890; Lyra
Heroica, a Selection of English
Poems for Boys, 1892; The Song of the
Sword and Other Verses, 1892; Three
Plays with Robert Louis Stevenson),
1888 Besides these he has printed
one or two memorial art catalogues
and a monograph on Sir Henry Rae
burn. His latest work included The
Tudor TRANSACTIONS and an anthology
of the best English prose. He was
strongly Endorsed for poet laureate on
the death of Tennyson.
