Lnrza Army of T lip 111 Employed In Western States. It Is said that fully half a million women are employed In the AVestern States as harvest laborers and general farmhands. This is accounted for by tue numerous Improvements In agri cultural machinery, which enables a woman to do the worlr as easily as a man, and also by the large number of women who own farms and man age them themselves. This Is especi ally true in lowa, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota, where there are farms of one thousand acres be longing to women. Persons who are acquainted with life in those States assert that In many eases the women make more money out of the farms than did the husbands or fathers from whom they inherited them. A woman, lately returned from Kan sas, said: "It is really a pretty and interesting sight to see the women in the fields raking hay, binding grain, driving the horses attached to the mowing and other machines. It can not be harder work than to slave in u kitchen or stand all day beldnd a counter, and it certainly is much more healthful! One of them said to me when I asked her how she came to take up that work: *AVhy, it was all because of the Spanish war, you know. All the young men were away, and the field work hud to be done, or we would starve. So we set about it, we women, and liked it so well that we do not mean to give it up. I have been in a big store in Chicago, and you do not catch me going back. AYo have more freedom and are not watched as if we were pickpockets. The men who work with us are often more civil than the shop clerks. " 'lt muy seem a little curly to rise time enough to feed the horses before the C.30 breakfast, but it is the pleas antest part of the day, after you get used to it. About 7.30 o'clock we are in the fields beginning work. At noon we have an hour for dinner and a lit tle loafing spell under the trees, and we stop work at 5.30, except in the busiest season, when we work as long as it is light. AVe do not care for that, however, for the farmer Is always willing to let us made up for the overtime when the busy senson is over. AA r e get good wages, ranging from $1.50 to $2.50 a day, and I've heard of girls earning a good deal more than that in harvest time, when hands are scarce. " 'Lots of young women have come out cn the farms this summer and last from the cities. They enjoy the change; it is good for their health; and they go back with money enough to last while they learn a trade, such as dressmaking or millinery or type writing. There was one girl here last summer who earned enough mon ey to pay her way through college in the winter. I think it would do lots of them good, after being shut up in shops and factories all winter, to come into the country for the summer, and do healthy work in good, pure air. There are always men employed to do tile hardest work.' "—New York Tribune. or Women (In 1801).

General Observations— The prevail ing colors are huff, white and lilac. Buff flowers have been adopted. A now fancy hat, which is likely to be come a favorite, has ju3t been intro duced into the circles of fashion, made of straw, intermixed with cloud ed floss silk. Buff and imperial chips are generally worn.—London Times, August 1, 1801. X.ntc Styles of llulr-DrcSßing. Among the very prettiest of the new coiffures that will be greatly in favor is what the inventor thereof has termed the Transformation, on ao* count of the great change from form er Btyles. The middle front hair la cut, parted on the left, massed In loose, short curls which fall nearly to the eyebrows In V shape; the remainder of the hair is waved all the way around, a loose figure eight or New port coil formed, and the ends massed above in careless little curls. This Is the only new style of hair dressing that has a really high effect. The Marie Antoinette coiffure is very graceful and more simple than the Transformation. It is simply a revival or adaptation of the style to which the unfortunate queen gave her own name. For this method the hair is waved all around, arranged quite bouffant in front, although drawn back from the face except for two short, broad curls that seemingly es cape carelessly from just above the temples, and lie carelessly on the fore head. The liair is all drawn toward the crown and arranged very simply In loose puffs, the end lying in a looso curl. Another becoming fashion for wear ing the hair low in the" neck is shown in the "coiffure with Felix comb." In this the hair is waved in front and low on the sides, with looso Grecian knot terminating in ono under coil. This style is adapted for less cere monious occasions.—Toilettes. A Versatile Duchess. "The Duchess of Bedford," says the Dondon Sketch, "is one of the clever est and most original ladies in the group whose proud privilege It Is to wear the strawberry leaves, and whose presence at the forthcoming corona tion will give an added touch of splen dor to the marvelous scene. The fact that the Duchess was the daughter of a clergyman—the popular Archdeacon Tribe, of Lahore, who many old An glo-Indians remember with affection and gratitude—lias not prevented her from being a very keen sportswoman, one of the best shots, without distinc tion of sex, In the kingdom, and a first rate fislierwomnn. The heads of the house of Russell have always taken a rather exceptional Interest in animals, and there was already at Woburn Ab bey a remarkable private 'zoo' when the present Duke succeeded his broth er some eight years ago. He and his Duchess have, however, made ninny most interesting additions to their col lection. They are both devoted to natural history in all its forms, and both when at Woburn Abbey and at Endslelgli, their lovely place near Tav istock, they spend almost the whole day out of doors. Their only child, the thirteen-year-old Marquis of Tav istock, knows more about animals aud their ways than any other boy of his age In the kingdom, and he has in herited his mother's remarkable power of taming wild beasts by kindness, and kindness alone." Two Smart Autumn Snils. The Vienna tailors, who are accred ited with being the best tailors in the world, are now hard at work on their models lor autumn and winter wear. One model recently evolved was made in black panne cloth, a rich and silky material. The skirt was perfectly plain, flowing out from he low the lenee and lilted tightly round the hips, the buck fulness being pleat ed flat. The trimming consisted of the most wonderful strapping of plain black cloth in a conventional floral design. It almost covered the edge of the skirt from foot to knee, and was brought up in graceful wreaths on either side of the front breadth. The Eton coat with its long bell-shaped sleeves was similarly ornamented and linislicd off with black and gold but tons. Another dress —this time in blue cloth had a plain skirt and short tight-flttiug coat with blshoj) sleeves, and a flowing design in machine stitched silk of several shades of mauve. The colors were beautifully blended and the workmanship a mar vel of accuracy. Buttons of gold with tiny sprays of violets In enamel and revers of plain mauve completed the dress. Apparent Simplicity. Some beautiful white Irish guipure lace is shown off to great advantage as a wide flounce on a gown of white linen so handsomely embroidered that the simple material is almost hidden. A dainty little blouse, all of finely tucked white muslin and lace, with a touch of black at the neck, Is for house wear, while for out of doors a charm ing bolero of guipure lace with a deep double collar and cavalier cuffs of em broidered liueu is worn over it. A pic turesque white hat looks charming with this pretty gown; ic has a wide, flat crown of guipure lace and black velvet, the under brim of white crino line straw, and daintily arranged be tween the two brims are white ostrich tips, which fall over the edge of the lower brim uplifted by a black velvet rosette. Trno Courtesy Xot a Matter of r.ulo. Real courtesy, It must be borne in mind, Is not arbitrary form, but a thoughtfulness regarding the pleasure, comfort and happiness of Others. And what hostess would be mauo more comfortable or happy by having lier efforts to give pleasure rendered null by a rigid observance of a rule, which, like most good ones, has Its excep tions? Courtesy Is double acting be tween hostess and guests.—Woman's Home Companion. "Dlnmond. anil Almomln." Pearl buttons come in many fancy shapes.

Illinois Poplar One* r Mecca For In. Ulan Metltcln. Men. Few people are aware that Gross Point. 111., has probably the largest tree in the United States, with the exception of the redwoods of Cali fornia. It is a historical tree as well as a sylvan giant and while other States point with pride to their Wash ington elms and Eliot oaks, Illinois can go them one better by not only showing hor Black Hawk tree, but at the same time have the satisfac tion of a tree in luxuriant and grace ful growth and of unusual propor tions. The tree, is situated in the centre of a field owned by Charles Ivotz and located about two and a half tulles west of the town of Gross Point The big tree is a poplar and has been estimated by an English forest er who visited it several years ago, to bo over COO years old. It is over 130 feet in height, and would reach to the tenth story of a modern sky scraper. The great spread to the low er part of the trunk la what probably has kept the old tree standing. At a distance of three feet from the ground It has a circumference of thirty-one feet which Incloses a chamber that hoa been the scene of Indian councils, robbers' dens and family gatherings of bears and other animals. Tho opening Is four feet eight Inches wide by eight feet six inches high, and this leads Into a smooth floor two feet ten Inches by eleven feet six Inches. From a point about twenty feet nlxtve the ground the trunk runs up symmetrically with a diameter of übout live feet to a distance of nearly seventy feet, to where the first limb branches from the main trunk. Only one limb has fallen in forty years, and the wood from It supplied tho farmer with sufficient firewood for the winter. In 1532 forest fires raged over the section of tho country where the tree stands, denuding large areas of valuable timber, aud the preserva tion of the Black Hawk tree led tho Indians to believe that it was under the protection of the great spirit, and hence it was looked upon as "medi cine," and became the Mecca of the medicine men of the various tribes that roamed the country. The belief that pieces of the bark possessed special virtues Is still maintained by many of tho country maidens of the vicinity, who seek to obtain or to hold the admiration of the rustic swains by carrying fragments of tho old tree about with thetu. During tho latter part of the twen ties Sylvester Bcckwith and his mate. Nelson Naper, were wrecked at Glen coe, then called by the neighboring Germans Ewige Qunl, or everlasting punishment. Beckwith settled at Niles, then known as Dutchman's Point, and Naper started a settle ment which became the town of Nn pcrville. Tills settlement was the scene of some of the worst depreda tions committed by the Sacs during the Black Hawk war. The wily chief of the Sacs, because of unfair treat ment which he fancied that he had received from the Government, went on the warpath in the spring of 183'-', and ills principal point of assemblage was around tho big tree. Naper was notified that Black Ilawk was near at hand, and, after sending the women and children to Fort Dearborn, bo re paired with* the men to Pottawatomie camp in the big woods. A squaw told them that Bluck Ilawk and his braves were dancing the war dance around tho big tree only four miles distant, and that they had bettor pue-a-cho, which being interpreted, means to get n move on one's self. They moved, but the town was demolished, and at Indian Creek all were murdered.— Chicago Tribune. It Didn't Help Him. "Yes," ho said, "I've quit, and I want to say that I think these stories of the way men got ahead in the world are all l'ulry tules. I've tried tho methods and know. Only a few days ago I read about Tom L. Johnson making his first big hit with the manager of a street railroad by pick ing up the scrap Iron he found lying around. 'You're the kind of a careful inau I want,' said the manager, and he promoted him right away. That was enough for me, so I began picking up things whenever the boss was near, " 'What are you doing?' he demanc> ed yesterday. " 'There's no use letting those things go to waste, sir,' I answered, for that's what Tom Johnson said. " 'Of course not,' lie said, 'and wo hire men for a dollar a day to do just that class of work. But wo can't afford to have clerks wasting their time over it. Hump yourself hack into tho office, now, or I'll have you on tho pay roll as a day laborer.' "So I quit. Somehow things don't seem to happen in real life the way they do in print."—Chicago Tost ltliukl in Protective Coloration. In adopting the material called "kha ki" for uniforms, the armies of the world are simply elaborating aud im proving upon the plan of the savage, who smears his body with grease, and then with sand or earth, so that it may take on the liuo of the ground on which he lies, and therefore be in visible. And the art of the savage Is, in its turn, merely n development of the "protective coloration" ordained by nature for many beasts, birds, in sects and fishes. The parallel holds gocd even to the ultimate act of war, for the neutral color of tho khaki pro tects the soldier when he is attacked, and also when ho lies in ambush, just us the Indistinct coloration of the ani mals enables it to escape its enemy, or to lie in wait for it Rothing- Equals St. Jacob* oil.
