LADDERS FOR PICKING FRUIT.
Conveniences for the Orchard Which
Can Be Made at Home.

Ladders Of various lengths and
kinds are needed in the fruit orchard
The first group of pickers should go
through the orchard and pick what
they can reach from the ground. put
ting 1t In boxes or baskets on picking
stasds shown in Fig. l, or in baskets
or bags which they can carry around
their shoulder. In young orchards this
group of pickers will secure a large
portion of the fruit. They should be
followed by a second group of pickers
using rigid step ladders A to 5 feet
high as shown in Fig. 2. These pickers
can reach all the fruit within 10 to IL
feet of the ground. They will need to
pick in baskets or bags and empty the
fruit carefully either onto a sorting
table or in boxes or barrels to be
drawn to packing shed. The third

heard a rain of small shot on the up

Larry shouted that the thanking party
was again at the terrace.
This movement evidently heartened
the sheriff, for, under a fire from
Bates, his men charged again and the
log crashed into the door, shaking it
free from the upper hinges. The low
err fastenings were wrenched loose an
instant later, and the men came tum-

Dan Cupid Spells Riddeli's plans.

Dan Cupid has been raising havoc
with the plans of Supt. w. o. Riddell
of the DesMoines schools and as a
result Of the unseen messenger of
love, the teaching corps has been de-
pleted by dozen or more during the
summer months. When school opens
next Tuesday new faces will mile a

or more school rooms, while the
school bell in Des Moines or some
other town will cause halt in house

sharp contrast of conditions in the

shots, fell with mighty crash of its

away from Stoddard's chair, was

Stock Collected for Big Brewery.

Despite the threats of opposition
and litigation by the Iowa Anti-Sa-
loon league the Des Moines Brewing
company is going ahead with it's
plans. Recently the first collection
of the subscriptions was completed,
10 per cent being paid in to cover
the purchase of property recently
made through F. M. Hubbell from
Nick Disalvo and others. The au-
thorized capital is $250,000, of
which Otto Huber, president OF the
Rock Island company ana the real
head of the Des Moines project, took
100000. F. M. Hubbell is one of
the largest local stockholders, hav-
ing taken $4,000. 1t is not expected
that the brewery can be completed
in less than one year so that its
first product will not be put on the
market before next fall, even if the
circumstances are most favorable to
the enterprise.

Cribbing is a vice contracted by
horses and hard to break. 1t may be
restrained, says Farm Journal, by
buckling strap round the throat
loosely enough to allow the horse to
breathe readily; also by swapping the
halter to rod that will prevent the
horse from getting his teeth on to
anything to suck wind"

said Father Flavin of the st. Am
brose church last night. 1T far ex-
ceeded our expectations. At least
$1,000 will be made on the venture

The proceeds of the fair will be
used to remodel the parochial resi-
dence of Father Flavin. The Paro-
chial school will also receive share

Des Moines Banks Are Prosperous.
Des Moines banks are enjoying
one of the most prosperous periods
in their history, according to the
statements made in compliance with

and the controller of the currency
for their condition at the colse OF

is shown in the loans and deposits

18th Century took rich laces to all parts of Europe. Though many kinds of laces were manufactured the real Venetian point was considered the handsomest and was the most popular Some of the fore most ace-makers in Italy amassed great fortunes Venetian lace was popular In every court In Europe. The manufac- lures of Italian laces received great blow when Colbert. seeing what this ln-l dustry would do for the exchequer of France. brought over workers from Italy and established lace industries in his own country. From this time the Italian industries began to decline. By the mid die of the 18th Century the making of Venetian lace was confined to the Island of Burano but even this soon fell Into decay. The last twenty years have seen A great revival In the making of Venetian lace. In 1872 some of the lace manu- lecturers began to revive the industry by copying old designs. school was started with twenty young women and it was not long before others joined the class
 A few years ago great storm swept across the Island of Burano which threatened the simple fsher-folk with starvation. When the Queen of Italy and some of her friends heard this sad news they suggested that the women should be set to doing the needle-wo known to their great grsndmothers There was only one old woman who still knew how to do the Burano lace and she WAS too old to teach A woman

 Leather work and Illuminating became important crafts The leatherwork was used for book covers and in the making of furniture Some of the leather was natnted with dyes of different colours but the greater part was tooied. The de signs were wonderfully graceful and work ed with the greategt nicety. Many of the books that could not be printed were H. lumjnated on parchment.

One of the Seven Plaques
 of Egypt.

One of the plaques sent op Pharoah when he would not yield to Moses and allow the Isrnelites to leave Egypt was that of the locust plague. Yet within the past two months many parts of Africa have suffered from a plague of locusts that could not have been e1celled at the time of Moses. Billions of these animals have recently been on the move across the Transyaal in South Africa. The stench from their decaying bodies has poisoned the air around for many miles. The streets of Johannesburg have been liter ally paved with dead and crawling locusts.
 Everything has been covered by locusts. Locusts in the soup, tocusts in the beds and under the beds ds-literally the land was covered with loousts. They devoured much of the crops, and enormous smoke fires were constructed by the authorities to try and drive them northwards. The green crops over hundreds of miles of land have disappeared as if by magic H single night, and in place of the gretA coloring there has been found dull brown tinge from the countless bodies of the locust swarm.
 Barbed wire fences were covered 80 that they looked to be solid. In the cities pedestrians slipped and struggled through q covering of locusts several inches iu depth. The ladies of Johannesburg re- fused to go out of their houses for nearly week, and every home of any impor- tance was barred as against some danger ous enemy In the citys midst
 In Algeria hundreds of men were em- ployed under mounted officials to trap into specially dug trenches millions of the young locusts before they had obtained their wings Then quichlime is placed over the insects. Smoke has some slight effect fin dfverting the course pursued by the locust swarm and where tt Is foupd that underbrush Is especially loaded with young locusts the entire bit of ground is thoroughly burned over. Ia some places when the locusts have just obtained their w1ngs, enormous swaru,s have been seen moving across the sky having the appear ance of a thunder cloud and darkeuins the sun for . brief period
