Russla's comn,lssarlat Problem.

France Militaire contains an inter
esting study OF the commlssariat prob
lem of tho Russian army. For an
army of 100000 men and 100000
horses, 1000 tons of food and fodder
are required. This amount can be
transported in six trains composed Of
from thirty to forty-hve cars, the
loading of which requires not more
than day. But there are already at
Mukden, Port Arthur and other points
in Manchuria provisions for six
months, and Manchuria and the Rus
sian coast provinces are rich In
grain and cattle. According to this
study, in September Russia can dis
pose of 10000 tons of grain produced
on the spot, in addition to 100000 cat
tic and vast quantity Of pigs. Dur
ing the summer the service which
will be rendered by tho waterways
will relieve the Trans-Siberian road.

Thomas e. ParmeIe Purchases the
Holdrege Ranch.

LOUISVILLE-The big Holdrege
ranch of 500 acres, one mile east of
here, changed hands Saturday, the
purchaser being Thomas E. Parmele
of Plattsmouth. The consideration is
said to have been $4,000 The sale
includes the old Stout house, or cas-
tie, built years ago by Boss" Stout
for housing convict laborers who work
ed in the stone quarries along the
Platte river.
1t is said that Mr.. Parmele will sell
the house, with about five acres of
land, to the National Swedish Mission
association for $4,000, to be used as
a training school for clergymen. To
help out the mission in the purchase
the town of Louisville will donate ST.
600 to the association.
The Holdrege ranch has been i'm
proved by Mr. Hodrege, general man
ager of the Burlington railroad, until
it is one of the finest ranches in Ne
braska. Enormous hog and cattle
barns have been built regardless Of
expense and everything that is requir-
ed for an uprto-date ranch has been
put on the place. Whether Mr.. Par.
mele will preserve the big ranch in
tact or sell it is not now known.

Fine Gown for Beautiful Woman.

Search is being made here for the
most beautiful woman in America to
wear the most expensive and beauti-
full gown in America, The gown in
question is in the bonded warehouse
at St Louis, and is estimated to be
worth $4,000. being almost an exact
duplicate of the one that the first wife
of Napoleon Bonaparte wore when
he placed the imperial crown upon
her brow The original gown cost
100000, and the duplicate, which has
been made by celebrated man MILL
ner, is only less expensive in its jew
els and decoration, for the material
and the design are carried out faith
ully. For splendor and unequaled
delicacy of taste this garment is
the chief marvel of the dressmaklng
art.

of the commission, had been to attend
the opening.

and music. fear that to complete
the exposition in every detail six
weeks will be needed, or in case Of
bad weather, even two months.
Nebraska is the farthest along Of
any in the agricultural buildings and
is pretty well complete, although
there is considerable work yet to be
done in the placing. We have an eX-
celient location with a special allot-
ment OF space for corn exhibit direct

have there 1000 bushels of as fine corn
as any state ever produced any year.

Canada's Attractions.

The Dominion Exhibition is one
that attracts hundreds of thousands
each year. This year it will be held
in Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada), and
with the material assistance given it
by the Dominion Government, it will
be one of the most successful ever
held. Besides the number of special
attractions that will be offered, there
will be brought together an exhibit
of the Agricultural and Industrial re-
sources of Canada such as is rarely
attempted by any country. Visitors
will be there in large numbers from
the United States, owing to the low
rates offered by railways, connecting
with the Canadian roads. 1t is ex-
pected that Hon. Clifford Seton, Min
lister of the Interior, will be there
on the opening day to declare the ex-
hibition open. A splendid opportunity
will be afforded by this exhibition to
meet friends. Hotel accommodations
will be quite ample.

there were a thousand of them.
Another kiln was started and the

cooler. In several hours the reptiles

How the lizards got into the cool

THE FIRST SAVINGS.

The ability to earn and save up, par
ticularly to save up, the sum of 500
by the time he is twenty years of age
very largely determines the question
whether the young man shall acquire
a competency for his old age or wheth-
er he will have to depend upon the
charity of his friends, die in poor
house and be buried in pauper's
grave. The saving of the first 500 in
wolves all the self denying and eco
nOmic methods on small scale which
are incident to the accumulation of
fortune. The doing of it will be as
hard financial problem TO most young
men as they will tackle any time dur
ing their lives. The sum of 800 is
not a very large amount, it is true;
still, the earning and saving of it
make it an educational factor of al
most incalculable value. The boy who
has earned and saved this sum has
learned, in the first place, that most
important lesson-the real value of a
dollar; that it represents denial of APP
petite, repression of purely animal
tastes and desires which develop en-
durance, patience, manliness; it knocks
the easy come, easy go, idea of money,
which so many young men have, all
to pieces; it teaches him how to say
''No! and stick to it; then he learns
the cohesive power of a dollar, for one
dollar will draw other dollars to itself;
also of the cumulative power which
combined dollars have over individual
and scattered ones. BY saving 500
thus he will learn to respect money
and value 1t rightly as the important
factor it Is in his own development as
a man. No boy who may read this
item, and a great many will, can do
better or more sensible thing for him
self than to resolve that he will earn
honestly earn-and save not less than
500 by the time he is twenty, and,
our word for it, the experience and dis
cipline he will undergo in the doing Of
it will be worth more than thousand
dollars to him in after life.

EDUCATION OUTSIDE COLLEGES.

A young man in Michigan desires to
be Informed how he can best get the
groundwork Of a scientific agricul-
tural education, he being prevented
by physical infirmity from attending
an agricultural college. We would
suggest that he first secure the bulle-
tins from the Washington and state
agricultural departments, which can
very easily be done at small expense;
then if he could enroll in a CORE
spondence school, such as is conducted
by the New York Agricultural college,
that would be fine thing. He should
also take two or three of the best agri-
cultural journals, and If he could in
connection with these helps get the
chance to work a year for the most
successful and up to date farmer he
knows he could mingle science and
practice in the best manner possible
Ii he Is going to take up some special
ty, such as poultry or fruit or dairying,
he would do well to confine his studies
along those lines, for awhile at least.
Special lines require special study to
insure success.
