Timber Books.

There is at Cassel library probably
unique in the world. 1t is bound in
timber, printed on timber pages-pos'
sibly from wood blocks-and deals ex'
clusively with timber. The library i'll
question is the HolZbiblistek, which
was compiled at the end Of the last CEN
fury by Karl Schieldbach and is com,
posed of about 500 volumes made from
trees in the park at Wilhelmshohe.
Every volume bears on a tab-not III
timber, but, queerly enough, in moroc'
co-the name of the tree from which il
was obtained. There are plates Of the
tree in all stages Of its growth, and the
letterpress is a treatise on the forest,
ing and natural history Of the tree.

Hicks of july.

The first ten days of the month
will likely show a tendency toward
cloudlness with showers. The and
and 3rd will bring a reactionary
storm period with muggy weather,
changing to cooler wave from the
4th to the 9TH, with only limited
area covered at once. The second
storm period will occur from the
9TH to the nth and about the 9th
a decided storm area will develop,
which In turn will be supplanted
by a clearing period, passing from
west to east, followed by change
to warmer, crossing the country
the 14th, and 18th, with falling
barometer, thunder storms and
rain, when the barometer may be
expected to rise, cool wave fol-
lowing. Another storm period
of few days will follow,
starting the 18th, central the
goth and ending about the 24th.
The warmest wave of the month
may be looked for from the oath to
the 27th, central the 25th, when
the severest electrical storms Of the
month may be looked for. Another
disturbance may be expected about
the 3oth, crossing the country with
extreme heat and local thunder
storms at many points.
1t Is not probable there will be
the usual amount of moisture, es'
pecially toward the last Of the
month, the dry weather now troub-
ling the eastern states working
toward the west, while there IS a
probability that the fall will be
particularly favorable, giving de.
layed crops every opportunity to
ripen, and also starting winter
crops for next year.

THE GREAT WHEAT HARVEST.
And The Vast Army Of Workers Required
to Save Il.

On the threshold of a wheat
harvest greater than the entire
wheat harvest of Great Britain and
Ireland, Kansas calls for men to
gather In her grain. Sometimes
Russia mobilizes her soldiers and
turns them into the wheat fields Of
It's south and west. 1t will take
more outside aid than any army
corps filled up to war basis to get
In the grain of the SunhoWer State.
Were our entire army ordered into
the field Kansas could find employ.
ment for nearly the whole of II; 1t
Is estimated that perhaps 42,o
more hands will be needed there
than are now In the market. For
the next three weeks we shall hear
of tramps abducted from car bunk
ers and pressed into the service,
and colleges closing early In order
to add their young men, and even
their young women to the regiment
of reapers.
The yearly romance of the west,
"the epic of the wheat" as 1t has
been called In a good but now over
worked phrase, Is now beginning.
For the next four months the reap.
ers and binders and the drone of
the threshing machines will resound
over a region that almost makes
good Its claim to "the granery of
the world" The harvest will work
slowly northward. In Oklahoma,
Kansas and Nebraska the drama of
strenuous toll will be set In the
winter wheat fields and enacted
under the blaze of the June and
July suns. In the Dakotas 1t will
be set In the springwheat fields, and
before the last bushel has been
cared for, the SHOWS of the late au-
tumn will be flying, the harvest
home of the reapers will be the
Thanksgiving dinner. When these
FIVE Commonwealth, with Mime
sofa and Iowa, have got In their
crop the bulk of the wheat harvest
OF America will be In the elevators
and the soundest basis for another
twelve month of national prosperity
will have been laid.

PUZZLES IN SPELLING.
They Are Liable to Catch You In .
Most Mysterious Way.


What queer quirks a good and ODE
dent mind will sometimes take! A
clergyman of exceptional scholarly at
tainments tells me that .the once wrote
what he at the moment conceived 10
be the word righteous" The nature
of his calling ought to suggest that OF
all words this one should be among the
most familiar to him. and indeed IT
was. Yet when he had written 1t 1t
did not look right. After puzzling over
if for some time he concluded that 1t
must end with "ious' instead of "eous,
as he had written it. Finally IN a
mental muddle he went to his una
bridged dictionary, but was amazed at
finding no such word there. Deferrlng
further search for the nonce, he COM
pleted his letter and then opened the
dictionary again. This time he found
the word all right and in its proper
place, a fact which, he said, would
have been a warning to him If he had
been a drinking man.
The explanation Of it was that Dy
some unaccountable freak he had got
it into his noddle that it was spelled
"ritcheous." He had spelled it so in
his letter and had Of course looked on
the wrong page of the dictionary for 1t
in the first instance. BY the time he
looked again the crotchet was out OF
his mind, and he knew how to spell the
word as we'll as Webster did.-Brook-
Ign Eagle.
