FIELD BEANS.
A Crop Well Liked by Farmers.
Prices Generally Satisfactory.

A Crop Well Liked by Farmers.
Prices Generally Satisfactory.
The field bean acreage throughout
leading districts Of northern and mid
die western states appears to be up to
the average this season, and In some
localities substantial increases are
noted. Prices received for beans the
past several months have generally
been satisfactory TO growers. and to
this fact IL largely attributed the favor
In which the crop Is held by farmers.
Counties in New York do not show a
universal increase in acreage this year
for the reason stated above However
growing districts have enlarged plant
ings. In Monroe county 1t Is said that
the bean season is one of the most
backward OH record Acreage there
about the same as last year Prices
for the 1903 crop were on n basis of
Sl.75 to $3.50 f. 0. b. These proved
very satisfying to producers. In Wy
oming county there Is a 10 per cent in
crease In the bean acreage and the sea-
son started out quite favorably, al
though late. Farmers received s.. 10
for 1903 marrows. 81 90 for kidney and
$3.50 to $1.75 for pea. In Schuyler
county the acreage is hardly as large
as a few years ago
Toward the Atlantic coast, particu-
larly In New England, some districts
report bigger acreage of field beans
this season. In sections of Vermont
are noted 81 per cent increases COIN
pared with last year. Prices for 1903
beans were So 26 to $3.50 per bushel.
In Maine the season opened rather
late and cold, and In parts of the state
paintings were not quite as heavy as
last season.
In the west advices to American
Agriculturist indicate some increase In
the area devoted to field beans. This
Ii particularly true Of Michigan. Tax
ing that state as Il whole, the enlarge
ment appears to be around 10 per cent
Growers sold the 1903 crop for 81 to
SLIGO per bushel. Irregularlty as to
quality was a feature of the yield last
year, however, and growers are hope
full of better luck this summer.-Ameri-
can Agriculturist.

Too many women sacrifice good looks
to appetite. The woman who would
have a nice skin and a clear complex
ion must be even more careful in the
choice OF the food she eats than in the
gowns she wears. Stoutness and thin
ness are both very often caused by er
rors in diet, and sallow and pimpled
condition of the skin may also arise
from the selfsame cause, says Home
Chat. Light, easily digested food
avoidance of highly spiced and sea
soned dishes, pickles and pastry, the
substitution of milk or cocoa for tea
coffee and alcoholic drinks, with frest
air and exercise, will do much toward
promoting n clear skin and maintaining
look Of youthfulness. Women forget
that the stomach Is the furnace of the
body and that 1t must not only have
proper fuel, but that 1t must not be
clogged with useless matter.

SCOTUAND'S KILT.
The Origin of This Ancient an
Picturesque Dress.

The Origin of This Ancient and
Picturesque Dress.
Some say that the kilt was the out
come of sumptnary laws enacted dur
ing the reigns of Mary and of Der son,
James VI. of Scotland and |. of Eng
land. These laws more or less directly
suppressed the ancient tunic, which
fell from the shoulders TO below the
knees, and had In the remoter parts of
Great Britain and Ireland formed the
outer dress of men from Roman times.
When this was condemned. the wearers
evaded the law by dividing the tunic
at the waist, the upper part becoming
a doublet and the lower the kilt.
The kilt, however, must have been
of earlier date, for 1t Is shown as a
separate garment neatly quilted from
waist to knee, on many medieval
crosses and memorial slabs, including
those Mt Kllkerran and Kilmorie, which
date from before 1900.
1t is from this plating. or quilting"
that II takes its name, and no doubt
the sumptuary regulations promoted
Its general adoption.

SKIN TREATMENT
Be Careful About How You Use Glyc-
erin on Your Face.


Glycerin cut with rose water is good
for the skin. But one should work
with 1t carefully, for not all skins can
stand glycertn. There are certain cut
Giles upon which glycerin acts as
burning poison There should be very
little used In such cases, and the pa
tient can tell only by experimenting
Don't use more glycerin than your skin
will stand nicely or the result-will sure
ly be very unpleasant
Many persons think they cannot use
cold cream Yet such is not the case
They can use 1t very nicely If they will
get the right kind Of cold cream. They
can make it for themselves, or they can
buy 1t If they will do 80 intelligently.
A woman wrote to US not long ago
asking for a good cold cream. She
said all cold cream irr1tated her cuticle,
and that her complexion was red and
rough as soon as she had used a cream
for any length Of time Upon investi-
CATION 1t was found that she had used
cold cream with glycerin in 1t. AS
soon as she made cream without
glycerin her face resumed its normal
tone
Don't try to use the very same To-
tons your neighbor uses. AS well try
to eat the same kind Of food and the
same amount. Remember that what is
your neighbours meat may be your poi
son, and that the very lotion which is
excellent for the skin Of the woman
next door may be rankly injurious to
your own skin.
That Is the secret of beauty. Study
your own personal peculiarities. You
will soon discover your idiOsyncrasies,
and when you have learned to humor
them you will have taken your first
valuable lesson in being beautiful

NEW CHIEF OF DIVISION.
Capt! J. E. Hart Promoted to Succeed
g., Capt. White. Deceased.

Commissioner Ware of the pension office
TO-DAY promoted Capt. Joseph f Hart, as
siStant chief to be chief of the army d.
vision of the bureau, to succeed the late
Capt Warner White. Captain Hart served
through the war of the rebellion as mem
her of Company D of the 9th Indiana In
fantry and Company II of the 18th Indiana
Infantry, and was honerably mustered out
at the expiration of his last term OF enlist
ment. The promotion of Captain Hart was
in strict accordance with the rules of the
civil service commission, merit having been
tie first consideration in the mind of Com
missioner Ware. The designation is APP.
proved by the clerks generally of the bu-
reau but especially by those of the division
over which Captain Hart is to preside, with
whom he is very popular.
During the illness of Captain White,
which extended over Il year, Captain Hart
had much to do with the management OF
the work of the division. and for about
three months prior to the death of the chief
he had practically entire control. The di-
vision is said to be in excellent condition,
and the promotion of Captain Hart is ac-
cepted by his friends as conclusive evidence
that the commissioner approves has admin
istration.
