Queen Bess. Wardrobe,

Royal annals have never recorded q
more varied and extensive wardrobe
than that which belonged to the "vir-
gin queen" Even at the age of sixty
eight, when she might be supposed to
have outlived her youthful vanity, she
possessed 80 complete official CO.'S
tunes, 102 French gowns, 100 robes
with trains and G7 without, 126 an.
tique dresses, 1876 bodices, 125 tunics,
not to mention such trifes as 90 man
ties, S5 dressing gowns and 81 fans.
1t is possible that she had an ugly
foot, for she possessed only nine pairs
Of shoes, which, considering her ex-
travagances in other articles of ap-
parel, must have some meaning. At
her death 5000 articles were found
duly catalogued in her wardrobe which
had adorned her proud person.

you will yield a ready obedience to any
impulse you may have toward assisting
us in carrying on our work. as it is His

enlisted under the banner Of cross,
would do what they can with little, if
any self denial toward providing for
the homeless ones, their own lives
would be greatly enriched, while the
burdens we carry wonld be greatly
lessened. What will your response be
this month?

POTATO GROWING IN THE HILLS.
An Instructive Bulletin by the Co-Opera-
tive Association of the Black Hills.

This Association will undertake,
among other things, to find profitable
market for surplus potatoes of good
quality grown in the Black Hills dur
ing this and subsequent seasons. EX-
perience has shown that you may in
crease your crop and sell it more readily
and for a better price by attending to
the following simple, but important
points.
l. By adopting, as far as practicable,
one variety for an entire neighborhood,
or better still, for the whole Hills
region. 1t costs less to market and
sells higher. This should not prevent
experimenting with many sorts in a
small way, with view to changing to
something better, but when a change is
made it should be quite general. For
the present we recommend the Early
Ohio type of potatoes. It is better not
to use seed from the same ranch again
and again. Dry ranch potatoes are the
best for seed. We are purchasing a
quantity of dry ranch Ohios to sell
for seed, with view to assisting in
making potatoes more important and
profitable crop.
.. By treating your seed potatoes
with corrosive sublimate, to kill the
fungus disease known as potato scab.
This is SURGE remedy, and should
never be overlooked if the potatoes
show scab. If they appear free from
scab, this treatment is good thing.
The method is as follows: Dissolve two
ounces of corrosive sublimate in a
wooden bucket, and when thoroughly
dissolved, pour the liquid into fourteen
gallons of water contained in a barrel
and thoroughly stirred. Put the whole
in the solution for from one and one
half to two hours. Then take them
out. dry. and cut into pieces for plant
ing. The entire cost of the treatment
should never exceed one dollar per
acre. Instead of corrosive sublimate,
one-third pound of 40 peg cent formal
dehyde may be used.
3. BY grading your potatoes alike.
This is highly important. The only
practicable way to do this. is for all to
use potato sorter. This is not eN
pensive. Several neighbors can club
together and use the same machine.
1. BY planting Early Ohios on your
dry ranches, to raise potatoes for seed
In potato growing states farther south
there is demand for northern grown
seed. These seed potatoes not be SO
large as are required for the table, We
expect TO work up demand for many
Car loads of them next spring at pay
ing prices. Moreover every grower in
the Hills who irrigates should buy
these dry ranch potatoes for his own
seed, as this would put money into his
pocket.
5. By marketing i'm sacks OF the same
size and quality, and striving for uni
formity with other growers in size.
quality. smoottness, and freedom from
dirt. Greeley potatoes are not so good
as ours, but by attention to these mat
ters they have raised the price of their
potatoes ten cents per hundred above
all others that go to the same market.
By exercising like care, we can in lit
tie while get the same price that they
get, or possibly a little more.

| tatoes to

No longer need a man go to physi-
clan to determine If he Is suffering or
about to suffer from appendicitis. In
stead let him look at his thumb nails
and the inside of his wrist, after which
he can quiet his conscience and pocket
the physician's fee or else rush pell
nell to the operating table and battle
his appendix before 1t has a chance to

This was but one of the lessons that
Mrs. Amalia Marguerite Forwerg

Chicago the other day in little talk

to Physicians In the Diagnosing of Dis
eases" Not only appendicitis, but con
sumption, spinal complaints, Brights
disease and every other III Of man did
Mrs. Forwerg tell the physicians and
other clubwomen how to discover on
their nails, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
The speaker said that every physi-
clan should have knowledge of pal
mistry and that the nails alone always
lead to Il correct diagnosis of the men,
tality and physical condition of the
patient.
'The thumb alone tells the history
of person." said the speaker. There
are four classes of thumb-the spatu-
late, square, comic and pointed. Long
nails never show such robust health
as the short, broad type.
'lhe spatulate thumb is the square
tip With the spade at the top. The
person With such thumb is practical
and good money maker, inventive,
active and Goes not want to be housed
UP. The square thumb, straight at the
top, denotes an orderly, orthodox. re-
liable. practical, emphatic character.
In men it denotes a good business man,
In women, Il good nurse.
The comic type is The long, narrow
nail and is the nail Of the artistic tenn
permanent. Musicians, actors, painters.
singers and society women have this
nail, and do not like to read the hand
OF such 3 person. for the characters are
all alike. Go not like to read the
hands Of society women, for they are
ali the same and lack ambition. If
they did not they would not be con-
tented With their useless lot.

Secretary Shaw is going to the Pa cific coast this summer to wake up the western republicans. It is said that the local leaders fear that the party will lose votes this fall from the apathy shown by western citizens to the cam paign issues. Of course, Theodore Roosevelt, practically running bis own cam paign, will not allow any apathy to exist among his western friends Perhaps that is why the secretary oi the treasury is to be given 8 western trip. According to the press reports, Secretary Shaw intends killing two birds with one stone. Not only will he boom the president, but he will grease the ways for the launching of little boom of his own for 1908.

A significant feature of the political situation in the east, and one that con siderably enhances the prestige of the democratic ticket, IS found in the at titude of majority of the independ- ent papers. In Greater New York alone, the Herald, Times, World, Evening Post and Brooklyn Eagle are all favorable to the candidacy of Judge Parker, though they all supported Me Kinley four years ago. The Spring field Republican, Boston Herald, Hart ford Times, Washington Post and Bal timore News, while unwilling to pledge their support to either of the presiden tial nominees, are very friendly tt Judge Parker.

The Buffalo Times comes to the de fense of the sage of Wofert's RDost, asserting that "whatever criticism there is to be made of Senator Hill it cannot be based on his labors in behalf of Judge Parker and the party. Attempts to injure the party candidate by assail ing the state leader who did most to place the favorite son of New York at the head of the ticket will make votes for J Idge Parker. The American peo- pie love fair play, and the campaign must and will be fought ont on square issues with the relative presidential qualifications of Alton B.
