PROBLEM OF WHEAT RUST.

that this ravaging fungus, for years
subjected to scientific investigation.

of which little progress has been

ing the wheat, science and our own
Department of Agriculture appear to
be completely at sea.
The government experts have been
watching with some interest the eff.
forts Of the Australian farmers to con-
quer the rust fungus by opposing to it
resistant varieties OF wheat; but not
withstanding the encouraging measure
Of success that has followed these ex-
perimerts no systematic study of rust
resistance has been made by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. After reading the effect of rust
on the wheat crops Of Minnesota and
Dakota. it will appear to the public
and particularly to the farmer-that
the Department OF Agriculture should
make the solving OF this problem a
prompt, earnest and persistent enter
prise.
The cost OF the necessary lnvesuga
ton and experimentation Is not to be
considered in view of tho immense
losses sustained In seasons favorable
to the rapid growth OF the rust fun

For Toilet Details.

A capital notion is large case OF
fax linen. daintily embroidered. with
different sized receptacles for holding
gloves. wells. cravats, waist ribbons
and the hundred and one details that
nowadays go to make up well-turned-
out woman's toilet. Wells carefully
handled will last long time. whereas.
tossed into drawer without being fold
ed. and stretched out TO their original
width, they scarcely last week in
condition one would term respectable.
The tendency of all these open.mesh
woven things is to shrink. The fancy
for the long gauze veil. with deep hem
border, grows apace. That these
spend quite half their life thrown
back over the hat In nowise aiects
their popularity. Indeed, for such
