I f % ?I Wives For Western Farmers. Throughout the entire grain belt of ) the West farmers are seeking wives. ' The demand is greatest in Kansas, j tvhere the crops have been even larger than elsewhere. Th average farmer who is seeking | a wife -wants one of rather mature ; fears, and widows usually have tbe preference. Good cooks are in demand, and shop girls moderately so. Seamstresses are seldom asked for, and a good disposition, along with a willingness to work, are among the j requirements. Every year over ioo,ooc j persons die of consumption [ in this country alone. Cherry j Pectoral would not have cured all these. Taken in time, it would have cured many: A Mr. D. P.

In the days of the lance ami the spur. When the hero went forth to the tight, Oft" he earrieu a token from her Whom he worshiped as lov^r nmkjknight, Anil when tierce surged the battle aro\md| And when close pressed th'e merciless foe, 'Twas that token that drove off despair And gave victory's strength to his blow. Not a hero of knighthood am I, But a warrior in industry's strife, Where the lance that I wield is my pen, And the ladye I serve is my wife. Yet a token I carry each day, Full as precious as any of yore, And it stoutens my heart for the fray? 'Tie my love's morning kiss at the door. For his faith will the martyr endure, By the sunset the artist's in-pir'd, 'At the blast of the bugle aud fife Is the soldier to gallantry fired. But whatever may others exalt, For myself I shall c-sk nothing more As a prompter to worthiest deeds Than the kiss that I get at the door. ?E. W. Gray, in the Newark Daily Advertiser.

Please don't fret me, love, will you? Remember that, j wherever I may be, and no matter] how gay my surroundings, I shall be! thinking of you." They threw kisses at each other c:- j the train moved away. Then Barrington went to his office and began writing letters. They were to his wife. He wrote fourteen of them?enough tc last fort two weeks. In general outline the letters were about the same. He started each by tilling a sheet with endearing words and declarations that he was very lonely without his darling. Then fol- , lowed the local color she wanted, in the form of comments on occurrences of the day in and about their home. ' The letters were not dated, but he sealed and addressed, them, and arranged them in a pile so that his lady , clerk could take off the top one day after day and drop it into the letterbox. " ' . . v Then he went off with a male com panion, determined to have a good time for ten or twelve days. < He bad been gone nearly a week When there came a telegram for bim. Of course, telegrams bad to ' be opened, and when Miss Wildretb, Iho lady clerk, read the message, she turned pale. ' x "Why don't you answer ray questions about the housemaid's ankle and your liver? Am awfully worried." That was what Elizabeth Barrington had telegraphed. .. After studying the matter for, a while, Miss Wildretb decided that ,U was necessary fur her to act. She was clever enough to hold a position that not more than one man out of fifty could have tilled, and she had the habit of keeping her eyes and ears open. Still, she said to herself: "The housemaid's ankle? I can see how he might know something about his own liver, but?and why should his wife, of all people, want him to see about it? Well, if I ever get married?" But instead of finishing what she nad started to say, she wrote the following dispatch: "Leg and liver O". K. Don't worry." It was about ten o'clock the next wbprr nnntlipr 1#?lPL'i\un fnr Arthur Bar ring ton was received. It read: "Yesterday's letter contradicts telegram. Why are you deceiving me'! Are you better to-day? Shall I come home?'' The lady clerk's reply was as follows: "Am true as steel. Don't think of coming home." * . Miss Wilreth had just begun to feel thai she had succeeded in settling the disagreeable business, when a messenger boy arrived with another telegram, in which her employer's wife said: "Don't understand. What do you mean by being true as steel? Something tells me you are worse. Wire immediately." "Never mind reference to steel. Am all right." Mrs. Harrington watched eagerly ror tue postman on tne following (lay, and when be handed Lor Arthur's letter she opened it with trembiing fingers. Eagerly she scanned the first page and was jibout half through the local color when she jumped up and ran to her aunt, crying: "Merciful goodness! what can this njean? Three days ago Arthur wrote that the housemaid was 'still laid up with her lame ankle,' which I have tried in vain t<* get him to tell me about, and that he was not feeling well, and the doctor had told him that his "liver was out of order, i'et here, into-day's letter, he tells me that the housemaid has just fallen downstairs, spraining her ankle, and that he made made liimelf a Welsh rarebit the night before last, and ate so muc-h of it his all up^ja^flMMj^rtli did the wben i she had a sprained anklo. and what ever possessed Arthur to oat a Welsh rarebit when the doctor had just warned him about his liver?" Heir ?unt w^s trying: to work it out. when* Elizabeth Harrington happened to think of tlie telegram she had received the day before. "This letter must have been written about the time they were sent." she said. "I'm going home. Something's wrong. Arthur's liver trouble has gone to his head! My poor darling has lost his reason! lie writes a thing and then denies it by telegraph. By starting to-night I can bo with him to-morrow morning. Oh, how shall I pass the weary hours?" ? * ? # ? Miss Wildreth broke down and made a full confession wlieu Mrs. Barrington rushed, wild-eyed and pale, into her husband's office. Then the twe women sat together in the private room and wept. "If I hadn't accidentally knockcd over the pile of letters he left to be posted," the lady clerk sobbed, "they would not have been mixed up; there would have been no reference to the spraining of the housemaid's ankle before it happened, and his liver would not lyive troubled him until after he ate the rarebit. How shall I ever bo able to explain it to him?" "You needn't try,'* Mrs. Barrington answered; "I'll explain it to him when he eomos home.

Depends a Goo<l Deal on Storing Up ot | Ash Constituent*. Why is it that in autumn the leaves ' of some of the forest trees exhibit a | brilliant livery of crimson while others ! exhibit only a yellow or golden glory? P. Q. Keegan in a recent letter to Nature, offers a tentative hypothesis, as follows. He says: "It is known by analysis that the percentage of. nsti increases tnrougn nearly the whole life of the leaf In beech, sycamore, elm, hut not In oak, larch, -cherry, etc. It depends a good deal on whether some one ash constituent (generally limfe or silica) Is being steadily stored up. The dry leaf of the common nlaple on May 1 has G per cent, and in October 16.2 per .-centash. The dry leaf of the wild cherry has on April 28 7.8 per cent., and on October 2 7.2 per cent., ash. Now the loaf o? the former tree is only yellpw In autumn, and never red, while that of . the latter is very often beautifully crimson. In the 'former case there is ii kind' of gradual dec^y or death of some of the cells, (mostly of the upper external skin), which occasions a drainage of mineral and organic' substances to tiieso parts from the still living tissues, and thi$ drainage seems <;-> have a distinct influence over the ultimate auU ainal coloring of the leaf" itself. It is^e.W to understand that, the leaves -\ylriq>\ exhibit such a decay are just thpfie wherein the chromogen precufsive of the brilliant red coloration likewise suffer an nnnlnsnhR kind'of. chanse. 1. e.. it would tend t<f become, brown, to produce phlobaphene, Just a? It does,Jg the other T)ark which is the practically.! dead portion of the rind. "Where this accumulation of mineral matter does rot take place, as in cherries, currants, American oaks, pears, wild vine, barberry, etc.. the chromogen docs not deteriorate into a simple 3*ellow or dull brown; It evolves Its proper pigment, and assumes the flush aud glow of active living color." \ ' Fuctc About La Grippe./ Significant facts concerning la grippe have recently been made public. Mortality records covering fifty-six years' experience of one of the largest American. life insurance companies, prepared for the insurance exhibit at the Paris Exposition, contain the results of an investigation of 46,525 - deaths, varying with different periods; and showing the havoc wrought by different epidemics that have caused general alarm. w one smanjjox uuu cuuieiu hav? had little effect, la grippe, or influenza, has reached the Jirst rank among the individual causes of disease. Thirty years ago only one death was ascribed to influenzu. Then the disease disappeared from the mortality tables altogether until 1890, when twenty-two di-.iths were reported. In 1S92, when In, grippe was epidemic, 133 policy holders died from its effect^. Since then the disease has attacked with fatal results from twenty to forty-o/ie policy holders a year, 304 deaths occurring during the last ten years. Influenza is described as "a disease of all ages," the largest number of deaths, however, being reported among policy holders between sixty and eighty years old. These figures show only approximately the true importance of the disease as a source of mortality. While on the one hand the term lias often been erroneously employed, very many deaths due to influenza have been recorded as from j pneumonia, because ol' the evident lo- j cal lesion. On the whole, the figures ! understate rather than overstate the ! true mortality.?San Francisco Argonaut The Way She Sa-.v Europe.

The smart May Alanton blouse Illustrated in tfco /large engraving belongs to Just that class and can be worn during the morning with perfect propriety, while at the same time it will give no offense later in the day. The model is made of Venetian flannel in hunter's green, with rest and stock of white satin-faced broadcloth, machine stitched, and revers of velvet matching the flannel.' Down each front, below the revers, are small buttonholes through which the gold chain links are slipped that hold the fronts in place and give a peculiarly chic effect. Countless combinations and a variety of materials can be substituted, however, and tiny silk cord and gold buttons cnn take the place of the links if uesired, or these can be entirely omitted and the fronts hooked invisibly into place. Henrietta, plain aud embroidered cashmere, drap d'ete, French flannel and taffeta are all suitable and the color of both waist and vest can be changed to anything the wearer may prefer.

One of these gowns, in a pale heliotrope silk, is made close-fitting around the upper part of the skirt, and then finished With three deep flounces, each headed with a black rushing. The lower part of the waist has a folded belt looking quite like a peasant's bodice, and made of velvet or satin; the upper part is of white silk with short elbow sleeves that have full under-sleeves of chiffon with deep silk cuffs and lace ri/ffle&.?Harper's Bazar. . r , ; ; s ..

In the present case, the ''revers" hre ornamental, put only snow wlien tlie jacket fronts are not closed. They are simply the long strip of facing to the jacket fronts and could ndt possibly be visible if the garment were worn closed. This Is a true 'TVAiglon" fashion and one which is extremely dressy. Sleeve Links of Crocheted Silk. A "cuffbutton" suggests a firm, hard knob of metal; a pair of sleeve links suggests semi-precious stones or gold disks linked together' by a golden chain. The newest fastening for the cuffs of a shirt waist of fine flannel or cashmere has the top, which is all that is visible, made of crocheted, heavy," twisted silken cord. The same thing does for. sleeve links, but the single button is the better design. >. *. : - r I . It i? Not Tight.

The May Manton model illustrated is fitted with the same care given to gowns, and, as indicated, can be made in various shaped necus, with any snxic preferred. For cold weather, Canton flannel and outing flannel, as well as muslin, are much liked, as all these materials provide protection against Jack Frost, but long doth, cambric or nainsook can be substituted by those who prefer greater daintiness. The backs include a centre seam and the broad under-arm gores that mean a perfect lit and curved lines. The fronts are fitted with single daijts aim close at l*ie centre with buttons and buttonholes.
