LIVING GOLD OF WHEAT FIELD
Sensations Of a Ride Through the
Miles Of Moving Grain.

Take look at the wheat field that
mas been brought up to perfection, as
1t stands. Yellow,as gold, with the sheen
OF the sea. billowing from skyline to sky
line like an ocean of gold, where the
wind touches the ripping wave-crests
with the tread Of invisible feet. In
California, In Oregon, in Washington.
In Dakota. in the Canadian northwest.
you may ride all day. on horseback
through the wheat fields without a
break In the flow of yellow heavy
headed grain. No shade trees. No
knobs and knobs and hills and hollows
OF grass or black earth through. From
dawn till dark, from sunrise in burst
OF fiery splendor over the prairie hori-
zon to SHUTDOWN when the crimson
thing hangs like a huge shield Of
blood in the haze of q: heat twilight
you may ride with nanght to break
the view between you and the horizon
but wheat-Wheat. Itis Hke.the gold
fields. 1t goes to your head. You
grow dizzy looking at it.. You rub
your eyes,. Is it a mirage? The bill
lowing yellow waves seem to be breast
lag the very sky. You look up. The
sky is there all right with the black
mote OF a meadow lark sailing the
azure sea. He drops liquid notes of
sheer music down on your head. does
that meadow. lark; and that gives you
back your perspective, your sense Of
amazing reality. You are literally, alb
solutely, really, In the midst of sea
or living gold. 1t is you and not the
lark that is the mote. You begin to
feel as If your special mote: might be
q beam that would get lost. In infinity
II you stayed there long; and as you
ride on-and on-and some more on
and by and by. come cut of the
leaguelong, fenceless. fields with an
odor in your nostrils that isn't exactly
like incense-it's too fugitive. too fine,
too sublimal Of earth. 1t is aromatic,
a sort Of altar of roses, the imprisoned
fragrance OF the billions upon billions
of wheat flowers shut up in the glumes
OF the heavy-headed, grain here. And
that's the odor of the wheat.-Minne-

India Marriage Lottery.

Every year in the Rumal country, In
India, a marriage lottery is held, u.s.
ually in October. TIE names of all
the manageable girls and Of young
men DESTROYS of matrimony are writ

earthen pots. One Of Zach kind is
drawn out at 4 time by wise man.
The youth whose name is drawn out
obtains a letter of Introduction to the
young woman whose name accompan-
les his, and then all that remains for
him to do is to start his love making
at once. The majority of these for

RED IS MANS COLOR
HAS PLAYED IMPORTANT PART
WITH ALL RACES.
In italy Red Has Long Been the In
oignia OF the Male, and Blue Of
the Female Luck In
Auburn Locks.

The Partially for the color red may
not be mere chance, for it has played
an important part in the art and deco
ration Of all races of men, and to II
are attached many old superstitions
In our earliest forms of art we learn
that various colors had special sig
nificance, generally in distinguishing
the sexes. Striking examples of this
custom are found in Italy, where red
was the insignia of the male and blue
of the female.
This explains why in the old paint.
ngs we find the Madonna and other
Biblical women always in the latter
color. while the apostles and mascu.
line saints wore red. Even to-day in
Rome and some other sections of
Italy, says Harper's Weeb'y, the spe-
c1al color Of its sex is pinned to the
dress Of the child at the time of hap
tism.
There still remain many curious
superstitions concerning this interest.
Ing color. For instance, a great aver
sion to red hair exists among the
peasants Of England and Wales, and
often the presence of a person with
auburn" locks is considered unlucky.
= When fisherman of northern Eng
land is mending his. tackle the ap-
proach Of a red-haired individual is
solemnly believed to presage i'll for
tune unless the end of the line or net
Is Immediately passed through flame.
3. In olden time the efficacy of red as
a cure-all for disease was strictly fol-
lowed, and this superstition has not
entirely died out. The physician to
Edward H.. of England, John of Cad
deston, tells us that he brought about
a complete cure for one of the royal
princes who was suffering with small
pox by surrounding the sick bed
with various red hangings, wrapping
the patient in red blankets, covering
him with scarlet counterpart and
administering red mulberry wine. &C.,,
. In the west of Scotland and in the
west Indies. 1t is customary to wrap
bit OF red cloth or flannel around
children's Threats to ward off the
Whooping cough. In the early part Of
the last century a London shop in
Fleet street sold pieces of red cloth
to those suffering with, scarlet fever,
the supposed remedy lying not in the
fabric but in the color.
In New Zealand the house in which
death has occurred is painted with
this color to keep out the bad spirits,
and the path Of the funeral procession
Is blazed with streaks of red to pre-
vent the demons from following. Even
now the Chinese plat their children's
hair with red silk to ward off the in
tiuence Of evil spirits.

An Italian Puriet.

What astonishes the visiting British.
