The illustration depicts an exceed
ingly ambitious treatment for an un-
used doorway, which. If well carried
out, will make great furnishing addi-
ton to room at a comparatively
small cost, and one which will be
found specially useful when a room
has two doors, one only being used.
Immediately over the top Of the door
is wide shelf for pottery, this being
exceedingly novel in treatment, in as
much as it has wooden piece under

the probable damage. If is no worse
THANH now appears It does not look as
though it would do much harm. But no
one we know of has had any past exper-
fence with the disease and therefore it IS
hard to tell what it will amount to. In
the southern part Of the state many fields
were changed in a few days from pros.
pect of thirty bushels to absolute WORTH
lessness, and the fields were burned. If
the grain is immature, the rust will spoil
it all, but if we'll along it will only injure
the quality.
