some of it Is very expensive , for a

spool thread the design is worked.
Perfllado is taught in the public

handkerchiefs , tablecloths , bedspreads
and covers for chairs or lounges. The
work is bard and difficult , and the
earnings areon an average less than.

The game warden has called our
ittention to the fact that many
have been disregarding the game
laws and have been both seining
cjame fish and shooting young
chickens. The hunting law does
not open until September 1st and
steps have been taken to carefully
watch people engaged in unlawful
hunting. It seems that people
would begin to see that game laws
ire for their benefit , rather than
inyone else. The present num
bers of wild game insures continu-
il hunting if the law is but obeyed.
However , if the law is disregarded
ind the young chickens killed off ,
then it will be but a short time
until they become extinct.

The U. S. weather bureau re
port for week ending July 26th ,
shows highest anJ lowest tempera
ture as 79 ° on 20th and 53 ° on
23rd , a range of 26 ° . The mean
temperature for the week was 67 °
and the normal 74 ° , a loss of 7 ° .
The continued low temperature
average will retard crops some
what , especially corn. The pre
cipitation for the period was 1.07
inches and the normal 0.49 of an
inch. The winds have been about
the normal , the highest velocity
was 30 miles per hour from the
SE on the 21st.
The weekly crop bulletin for
the state of Nebraska shows : The
f
mean daily temperatuae averaged
2 ° below normal. Showers oc
curred in nearly all parts of the
state during the past week. In
bhc southern and western counties
the amount of rainfall was gener
ally between i inch and li inches.
In the northeastern and central
eastern counties the rainfall was
mostly less than i inch. Thrash-
Df winter wheat has progressed
rapidly during the past week and
the reports continue to indicate an
excellent crop. The oat harvest
tias progressed rapidly in southern
Bounties where it is now nearly
completed and thrashing has com
menced. The quality of oats is
jxcellent and the yield fair. The
) at harvest is just beginning in
lorthern counties. Haying i s
generally in progress with a heavy

Potatoes hare been damaged by

Legs.
Apropos of knee breeches a corre
spondent of the London Express quotes
an anecdote from Captain Gronow's
"Recollections" which puts the whole
case in a nutshell. The baillie < le fer-
rette was always dressed in knee
breeches , with a. cocked hat and. a
court sword , the slender proportions
of which greatly resembled those of
his legs. "Do tell me , my dear bail-
lie , " said Moutrond one day , "have you
got three legs or three swords ? " Soon
after which , we should Imaginethe
baillie went home.
Enough.
There had been a railway collision
near a Scottish country town , and an
astute local attorney had hurried to
the scene of disaster. Noticing an old
man with a badly damaged head lying
on the ground , he approached him with
notebook in hand. "How about dam
ages , my man ? " he began. The in
jured man waved him off with the re
mark : "Na , na ; ye'll get nae damages
fae me. It wasna me that hit yer
bloomin' auld train. "
The Other Klml.
"Do you think there is anything re
markable in love at first sight ? " asked
n romantic youth.
"Not at all , " replied his cynical
friend. "It's when people have been
looking at each other for four or five
years that it becomes remarkable ! "
