Go to Miss Anita Stewart
Europe Has Mystery In Announcement
That American Girl is to Receive
Missing Treasure When She
Marries Miguel.

London n-Europe has mystery In
the announcement that Mrs. James
Henry Smith has purchased the miss
ing pearl robe Of the former shah for
her daughter Anita. This is a marvel
Gus garment composed of thousands
of pearls. and no trace of 1t can be
discovered in Persia since the shah
ceased to rule The story goes that
Mrs James Henry Smith heard the
erstwhile monarch was anxious to dis
pose OF much of his personal property
in jewels rather than that they should
go to his successor. and that she
promptly sent an agent To interview
him on the subject. as she desired
Anita to have some wedding present
the like of which no bride OF this cen
tury was ever able to display.
The story also says that the gem.
the World of Light" is also in the
! possession of the mother of the future
! princess. This she proposed to have
set in the center of the amazing tiara
which is to be one OF the scores of
| gifts this adoring mother will give to
| her daughter.
At Tulloch castle. where the bride
elect and Mrs. Smith are now enter
tanning Dom Miguel. the fiance, there
il host of French artists in frocks
and millinery designing the trousseau.
They have brought with them from
Paris exquisite silks. satins and bro
cades, not to speak of specimens of
priceless laces and embroideries. hats
and cloaks. Mrs. James Henry Smith
| and her daughter decided that they
would not break up their house par
ties by rushing to and from Paris for
the trousseau, so they arranged TO
bring Paris to Scotland instead.
One whole wing of Tulloch castle
has been set aside as show rooms.
Mother. daughter and fiance run
through every morning to inspect the
fresh creations" which have arrived
or to give an order. Several hours
each day have to be given up 10 fit
tins by the prospective bride. She
says she is weary of It and will be
thankful when the wedding is over. II
only to escape from the tyranny OF
the dressmakers, whom she considers
verltable martinets.
Mrs. Smith is now more reconclled
to the marriage than she was at first
and she is throwing herself heart anC
soul into the preparations. According
to present arrangements, the wedding
Is to take place in London. Although
the reigning house of Portugal has
been at daggers drawn for years with
the family of Dom Miguel of Bragan
, IA. young King Manuel and the future
bridegroom are the best of friends
and ii is expected that the ruler will
r be present.

Steamlng Soil.

1t is thought an excellent idea so
sterilize the soil when there il oppor
tunity between the taking OF of one
crop and the sowing of another. This
is done by laying on the bed inch and
quarter iron pipes, in which pin
% es have been drilled about an inch
apart; four of these pipes on bed
6xl0 feet wide. Then the soil from
another bed is thrown on this about
foot and half deep. and the steam is
turned into them through two and
half inch pipe, which is connected
with one of the 350-horsepower boil
ers, showing 70 pounds pressure This
destroys any fungOus germs that may
be in the soil, and leaves it not only
as good as new. but a little better
than new soil This cannot be done
In all cases, AS often while our crop
Is maturing another Is being started
in tho same bed.
