tfreucb-S Foot and AnUlc Cured by
St- Jacobs oil.
Gentx,emen—A short time ago I severely
wrenched my foot and ankle. The injury
was very painful, and the consequent incon
venience (being obliged to keep to business)
was very trying. A friend recommended St.
Jacobs Oil, and I take great pleasure in in
forming you that ono application was suffi
cient to effect a complete ours. To a busy
man so simple and effective a remedy iB in
valuable, and I shall loso no opportunity of
suggesting the uso of St. Jacobs Oil. Yours
truly, Henry J. Doirs, Manager, Tho Cycles

WOMEN ON FARMS.
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.

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

A SYLVAN GIANT.
A. 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.'
