Loss in Overtime Wheat.

In 1879, DR.. r. G. kedEie, in an ex-
haustive study of the ripening of
wheat, pointed out that there was a
slight loss in weight between COM
plete ripeness and the stage generally
designated as dead ripe. Subsequent
experiment at this college and else.
where have given like results. There
is not only loss by Smelling when
the grain becomes over-ripe, but a
given number of we'll dried kernels,
or the product of given area, kept
In tho ordinary manner, will weigh
less IL taken from an Over-ripe field
than II taken from field cut at the
proper time. Moreover. the amount
and quality OF the -four produced and
the terminating vigor of the grain
itself are less If the wheat is allowed
to become over-ripe than if cut at an
early period. These facts are now
we'll recognized by farmers, and ordi-
nary practice is regulated by this
knowledge. The loss in Smelling is I'M
doubtedly the most important one, and
fortunately it can be controlled in a
large measure by proper selection of
varieties combined with harvesting

Neolioee With Round Yoke.

Tasteful negligees are among the de-
sirable things of life of which no
woman ever yet Lad too many. This
one is graceful, becoming and simple,
withal, and can be made from a va
riety of materials. The round yoke
extended well over the shoulders
gives the broad line of fashion and
the pointed sleeves take the long lines
and folds that always are desirable.
The model is made of white batiste,
with the yoke of all-over Valenciennes

Embroidery on Gowns.

Glimpses of few new gowns and
blouses indicate that hand embroidery
will be lavishly used. Persian effects
in embroidered bands or bold designs
form the newest garnitures. Well
gowned women are wearing iong-skirt-
ed or basque coats, tightly fitting, and
buttoned down the front. Most of
these have the regulation coat sleeve.
Others have leg-o'-mutton sleeves,
with gauntlet cuffs. Where sleeves
are large the fullness is generally
above the elbow. To be worn with
these long coats, tailors are making
strikingly smart little Louis XIV
vests. These are made Of the hand.

showino the Comma Mode.

One new gown in advance of the
season deserves mention, since it rep
resents. the coming mode in dress
toilets. Intended for a blonde young
woman, it is of the loveliest shade of
rose pink silk of weave closely re-
sembling Louisiene. The skirt is dane
ing length and is made on founda-
ton of white taffeta. The ruffles
which are deep, are shirred on in
fancy design, making scallops and
small rosette effects. There are two
of these ruffles, which run into a
straight panel in front. The bodice
has a yoke of cream, snowdrop-pattern
lace and deep fall of the same over
the shirred front Of the bust and over
the shoulders; the sleeves are elbow
in length and consist of an upper
sleeve in three deep scallops of silk,
shirred on the edges and bordered
with lace, under which is full pulled
sleeve of rose pink chiffon with lace
fall The high girdle is of silk and
lace with jet nailheads set in the cen
ter of each of the six small rosettes
which form the front as well as the
back decoration. About the bottom of
the short bodice is a deep flounce of
lace, which falls over the hips and
forms ruffie. The stock and the front
of the yoke show narrow trace of
gold and black, which, together with
the jet nailheads, gives the requisite
touch of black which is almost indis
pensable if the costume is to have the
best style.

plat and shaped cuffs both of which
are eminently effective, and is closed
invisibly. When, liked, however, the
yoke and the box plat at the back,
which is applied, can be omitted and
the model used for palmer waist.
Also the back can either be made to
blouse or drawn down snugly as liked.

Real Leaders OF Men.

Men of genuine excellence in every
station Of life-men Of industry, of in.
tegrity, of high principle, of sterling
honesty Of purpose-command the
spontaneous homage of mankind. 1t
Is natural to believe in such men, to
have confidence in them and to imi.
tate them. All that is good in the
world is upheld by them, and without
their presence in it the world would
not be worth living in.-Samuel

New Zealand and Daley Exports.

The general public does not, per-
haps, realize how large a place New
Zealand is filling In the production of
butter and cheese for consumption in
England. New Zealand is as yet but
a thinly populated country, and the
annual receipts Of several million dol
lars for butter and cheese sold in the
ENGLISH market Is a considerable item.
The trade has largely been built up
during the last ten years. 1t now
amounts to about seven million dol
lars for butter and a million for
cheese. For the year ending March,
1895, New Zealand exported butter to
the value OF 263, 244 pounds and cheese
to the value of 16e ,SS3 pounds. A
pound is equal to sass IN our money
BY 1900 the experts OF butter from
New Zealand we're worth 69S. 70l
pounds and of cheese POS. G5S pounds
The development has been very
steady, showing the healthy condi
ton of the trade and the gradual in.
crease in the COW population of New
Zealand. For the year ending March
1904 the exports of butter were worth
1,44O,237 pounds and OF cheese 217,74
pounds,

The latest neck trimmings are dou.
BILE ruchings, formed by combining two
widths of the goods, or two kinds of
material, in different widths. The
wider portion is folded down, giving
the effects of a turnover collar, while
the narrower portion remains upright
in the form of ruch. This turnover
frill is usually three times as wide as
the other. 1t is of sheer goods, such
as fine batiste, and is knife-plaited.

a Trick In Seed Selling.


The Grain Dealers National Associ
alton, recently in session in Milwau.
kee, passed the following resolutions:
whereas, Seed houses do a large
business in the sale of seed grains,
and thereby may materially affect the
general business of the crops of grain
thus produced, either for better or
worse; and,
whereas, 1t is known that seed
thus sold by seed houses does not al
ways possess the merit of type and
breeding sufficient to meet the expec.
tauons of the purchaser, and in fact
often does not tend to raise the
standard of the general crops pro-
duced. For example it has been too
common a practice for seedsmen to
purchase ordinary corn from farmers
cribs and sell the same under special
brands when in fact it possessed no
special merit whatever, with respect
to type and breeding, and the same is
true In regard to other grains; there
fore,
Resolved, That the Grain Dealers
National Association, now in conven-
ton assembled in Milwaukee this 23d
day Of June, 1904, does hereby urgent
ly request all firms engaged in the
selling of seed grain to adopt a line
of business policy that will result in
giving more attention to the questions
of type and breeding and adaptability
and thereby assist in improving the
quality and yield of grains; also,
Resolved, That the secretary be in
structed to send copy of this reso-
luton to all the principal firms en-
gagged in the business of selling seed
grains in the grain producing states,
and also to all the leading agricul-
tural pape's in the country.
The practice against which the res
olution is directed is one that has
long been condemned by conscientious
dealers. 1t not only Injuries the farm
ers, but Injuries the firms that are try.
ing to do an honest business. 1t is
gratifying to see a great association
take the stand that this one has taken.
The agitation is sure to bear fruit

sAYs BEARS ARE BuDDHIsTs.

SAYS BEARS AfE bU1CDHlSIS.
 Here are the theories, for example, of a sage of the mountains, according to the Sherbourne (Vt.) correspondent of the St. Louis Post Dispacth, who has made an exhaustive study of bars and has discovered that Bruin is a Buddhist and he orders his life accord ing to the belief that souls are trans migratory:
 Al bars be Buddhists ang git to be humans sooner or late" the sage is quoted as having declared. And in proos of his assertion he tells a story of bear that deliberately walked out on the ice, broke through and swan under the ice and committed suicide, all because he had come out of his cave a found it too hard to make living for himself
 He committed suicide" the sage con- tended, because he was born Bud- dhist and wanted to transmigrate into suthin else. Mebbe he'll be a tab by cat, warmth herself by the fire, by the fall. Er mebbe he'll go into a chicken to be ct of Sunday, CT a sand flea to poster ye when yere fishin, or even int a horsefly. Leastways he's got through bein' bar.

 wisdom's prOsy way, Joe used to pound an old baseball, and
 keep 1t up all day. You'd always ind that little runts so
 full of grit and sand. Go dragging everywhere with him a
 ball club in his hand. I guess he used to sleep with it, he
 seemed 10 love it so; For everywhere that ball club went,

 business is dull; And ones a minister. who has to keep
 six small mouths full; And ones lawyer without briefs; an-
 other is a clerk. Who measures ribbons in a store, and
 has to hump and work. They have to hustle for the stuff, those
 fellows who were wise; But Joe, the little stub and twist, he
 seems to yank the prize. Hes easy as he used to be, contented

A REMARKABLE PARROT.

Whether it is memory aided by natural instinct. or the power of dis crimination based on reason which makes the remarks of talking birds so extremely apropos at times is 9 mighty hard question to decide. In the the repartee of these birds loses none of its interest. For example:
 There's a green-head Mexican par rot attached to a Western stable of .thoroughbTeds quartered at the Ben ming track that stands swell chance of being ruled off by the turf authorities If he doesn't behave better says the Washington Post.
 The stable to which the parrot is att tached is quartered to the paddock gate. On sunny days the parrots roomy cage is hung from rail close to the entrance gate to the paddock Many of the club guests pass in to the club stand through the paddock gate. Among the early arriving of the Jockey Club the other afternoon was ? swagger-looling young couple The man was a somewhat pompous looking chap and the young woman was an exceedingly pretty girl in an up-to-the-nlinute racing outfit. The pair stood just within the gate for @ moment, undecided as to which direc- tion to take. The parrot scratched his head lnterestedly as he sized the young woman up.
 '' 'Aggie come right over here to papan he piped. and the cople not see- ing him, gazed with amazement and suspicion at the group of lounging stable hands and apprentice jockeys around the sable door. You look like Ia certified check. You look like the money all three ways across the boad!" went on the piping voice in chopping sentences.

Ax AGITATION.

There is certainly an agitation in New Haven. The Journal and Courier has lived here long enough to know the signs and it hereby declares that they are definite and adequate. What is to be done? It seems to us that the first thing to do is to remember the old State House. The next thing to do is to write more and oftener to the news papers. and the newspapers themselves should howl oftener. louder and longer. Then. though we hate to say it. there should undoubtedly be at least one public hearing" Two would be bet ter than one. but there should certain ly be one. Then the New Haven po- licemen would be polite and efficient. Civil Service Reform would be Civil Service Reform. and there would be peace where there are now pieces.

A GGOKlonN REGORn.

In July the Republican party will be fifty years old, or fifty years young, and it's record is a glorious one. Soon after it's birth it saved the Union and abolished slavery. Then it undertook to make this country better place to live in than it ever had been. It has done it. The interest on the national debt at the close of the war was $4.12 per head for the entire population, and to-day it is only 32 cents per capita. There were then 2,1OO,O0O farms, and now there are over 6,000,0O0. These were worth $S, ,20OQ0O ,OoO and now their value is $22,00O 100000. Agricultural products half century ago were val 'ued at $174,OO0,000, and now they are worth $873,000,0OO. Then there were 150,O00 factories; now there are $525, ,000, and in place of the 100000 employees toiling in the factories in 1S63 there are now 6,000,0 ,000. Their wages then were $40C, 00G,000 annually, and now they are paid S, ,O00, 900, 900. The value of the fac tory products has leaped from $2,000,- 100000 to $14,OO0,00O,O0O Manufactures exported have risen in value from $4l,- 00O,O00 annually to $4O7 100000. In forty years the cotton crop has more than doubled, and the manufactured cotton product is worth $4OO 100000, as against S115, 900, 900 then. The per capita wealth has jumped from $525 to $1,300. This nation stands at the head ia the produc- tion of live stock, in silver, in steel, in copper, and in those forty years the money in circulation has increased from $685. O00, 900 to s2,367 100000.
 And so forth and so on. Of course the Republican party hasn't done All the farming, the mining and the manufac- turing, but it has made good laws and it has been sound, honest and courag- eous at the right time. It has lately expanded the country, made the Mon- roe doctrine respectable and respected, and arranged for the digging of the Panama canal. And it is ready to do other good things if the voters will let if
