suitable for home dressmaking, the
daily bill of fare, chatty society news
and Nine. Qui. Wives daily feature of
answers upon beauty topics. On Mon
day appears "Martha's Manage

culinary topics, while short light
reading for the whole family is al
ways found on the editorial page.
On Friday appears DR.. Withrow's
comment on the Sunday school lesson,
and through the week will be found
crisp reviews of the new books. In
the Sunday issue complete section
is devoted to women, containing Nine.
Qui Wives beauty page, "Hints for
the Home Dressmaker" by Jeanette
Hope, Marion Harland's page, Dame
Curtsey's Novelties in Entertain
ment," society news and many special
articles of interest to women. The
Sunday Magazine of The Record
Herald is full of good stories, interes-
ting articles on timely topics, clever
verse, wit, humor and miscellany,
with many beautiful illustrations. 1t
has the real magazine flavor.

La FoIIette's Chances.

The editor of the Madisonian, who
is neighbor but evidently not great
admirer of Statesman La Toilette,
says:
LA Follette's presidential boom, or
rather boomlet, when compared with
Taft's, looks like pea when compared
with state fair blue ribbon pumpkin.
The comparative insignifcance of
Bob's boom does not damper the ar
dor of his followers who keep up a
spirit of hopefulness that reflects more
credit on their devotion than on their
Judgment. There is no more reason
to believe that LaFollette will be nom
mated by the republican party to the
presidency than there is to believe he
will be offered King Edwards throne >

MANY Students in Dairying.

In the department of dairying, Uni
versity of Wisconsin college of agri-
culture, III students have already reg
istered for the winter courses, although
the school does not open until Nov. I.
This number exceeds the usual regis
tratior about twenty-five per cent.
There has been a large demand for
butter and cheese makers from the
dairy school the past year, greatly ex-
ceeding the supply. The courses in
cheese and butter making will be ex-
tended the coming winter, particular
attention being given to the determin-
alton of moisture in butter in addition
to new problems constantly arising.
Any butter or cheese makers desiring
to avail themselves of the instruction
offered in the winter dairy courses
should apply at once to E. G. Benken-
dorf, Madison, Wis.

FIGHTING AGAINST SLEEP.
Experience of a Traveller In Crossing
the Cobb Desert.


the Cobb Desert.
Many difficulties must the traveller
contend with when crossing the desert
Of Cobb, and one of these is the almost
overwhelming desire to sleep. Hans
Doring writes in the North China
Daily News: Hitherto l have thought
that travelling by carts over stony
roads and staying in Chinese inns at
night was the hardest thing a foreign
traveller in China was called upon to
endure, but since I have travelled with
q caravan Of camels l have changed
my opinion. The monotony of the des-
ert by day and the bed of camels' sad
dies at night the evil smell of camels
and the SlowneSs of their drivers and
the acrid, choking smoke of the little
fire on which ones food is cooked
none of these things is so trying to
the foreigners as the sleepiness which
attacks one in this high region. This
to me was a real torture. Travelling
through the cold night with no other
company than dull Chinese, who seem
to sleep while walking alongside the
camels or while sitting on their backs.
and being weighed down by heavy
sIeepiness is the worst thing l have
endured.
you sit on your horse and, in spite
of every effort fall asleep. Presently
you wake up and find yourself on the
ground with your horse standing be-
wildered at your side, wondering
whether you are alive or dead. Then
you try to keep yourself awake by
walking and talking a bit to the camel
drivers, but you soon find that they
are just as sleepy as yourself. A few
words are exchanged and then you are
too tired to open your mouth to talk
or even to think of anything but sleep,
sweet sleep. Oh, for just a few min
uteS there at the roadside in the soft
sand. But, no, you must go on and
fight against this desire. 1t is too dan
gerous to sleep by the roadside on The
ground. The caravan cannot wait and
your servant would not watch over
you; he would soon fall asleep like
yourself The wolves would then have
an easy time.
"Yet in spite of all this reasoning
you feel as if you were drawn to the
ground by the power of a thousand
strong magnets and soon yield to
sleep again. Suddenly your watchful
horse, whose reins you have kept
sIung around your neck-this is a wise
thing to do--pUlls up, starts and jerks
you wide awake. You jump up, not
knowing where you are for some sec
onds, but you see your horse trembling
and realize that danger IS near.
For few minutes you are fully
awake and feel glad and refreshed
You jump on your horse and catch W
with the caravan, which has gone q
few Ii Ga Ii is 654 YARDS ahead.
"After another ten Ii or so sleep
creeps on again like a huge boa con
strictor embracing you in its irresisti
Bile grasp. The same fight has then tC
be fought over again. Then at last the
caravan arrives at the halting place
for the night"
