" There is a farmer living just north of i Evanston and a book agent somewhere in the/cosmopolitan desert of Chicago, each of whom feels that he is the victim of a cruel circumstance, says the Chicago Chronicle. ? ? /last week the; farmer had a. note from a nephew to say that the-boy would visit the farm on Thursday. Uncle and nephew had ' . not met ; for fifteen years,, and' the, old man drove to the station in his most comfortable eoafrthat he might welcome his1 sister's.only child.

"Ixwking over the top rail of the barn? yard ~^te he called, ~ "Hello, uncle." - The book agent never got such a recep? tion; before in all his life. The farmer flung the gate wide open,' seized; the agent's hand, and pressed a whiskered kiss on the ironclad cheek **Say, >this must be Heaven," murmured the-agent, following the farmer into the house and explaining that everybody at home was as well as could be ex? pected. Not-till, tb/e agent was full-of :a bo?edVdinnef and . attempting to sell, a book did the farmervbegm to see a dim light Charged with impersonating the missing nephew, the agent explained. that he greeted all, elderly strangers; as j?nele;." that he even ;had a few almost real, ones in - South Clark- street in Chicago. * When last seen by the farmer the agent/ was still running, and when the real nephew does -come he may find an electric current "in the latch-string. lt U?A. T IS KAUS A Si .- ? Thousands of Bushell Piled on the Open -iod Wai tins for Transportation. For the first time in its history, says Leslie's > Weekly, Kansas has more wheat than it knows what to do -with. Not only ar e. 'the. -granaries and bins running over .-with grain, but the elevators are filled .and the farmers are still bringing it to market by hundreds of thousands of **ushels. The tong dry weather was, in a sens?, a bonanza for wheat raisers. Much of the grain was so heavy that it fell to" the ground and would have been lost had there been wet weather. But with the long hot. Clear days every straw could be gathered, most of tthe farmers running the threshing machines into the field and haul? ing the grain from the shocks to the ma? chine. The grain has all been of the best Quality and the yield from twenty to thirty-five bushels per acre. Not less than 80,000,000 bushels w?rbe gathered, and the high price is giving the farmers a fine in? come. As the strings of wagons came to mar? ket in (the wheat belt the railroads' were swamped. They could not furnish cars and the elevators were soon filled to over-" flowing. Even in the small stations twenty to thirty teams were waiting to be un? loaded all day through the latter part of the threshing. The buyers finally began piling the grain on the prarie. Great heaps of 30.000 to 50,000 bushels have been stored on -the open sod and there they will remain until such time as cars can be secured in which to Ship the grain. The sun does not hurt rt, no one can steal it and so little rain falls during the summer that there is practically no danger from that source. Some enterprising buyers have secured circus tents and placed them over the piles, making curious features of the prairie landscape. The Boston Transcript (Rep) points out that the demand for the ship subsidy scheme does not proceed from the alleged beneficiaries theory. "Subsidy or no sub? sidy, the ship building interests of the country do not appear to be in a languish? ing condition," remarks the Transcript. "The law of supply and demand does not cease its operations to await legislation, and just now the ship builders do not seem to be worrying much about the future." The real benefits would be confined to a limited clique, which, with the assistance of the politicians, are making all the de ? STILES MEN'S DRESS.

In the . first place, wevs have the annual cry for color, in evenii dress and for -the freedom from blac and-whites iii day dress. All of tnis I ? not think,will-, amount: to much. The be tailors are making trousers rather wie but avoiding ?the, peg-top form. The trou ers .. are about ' seventeen ?and bne-ha Inches at "the knee and fifteen and on half .at the bottoms.- They will hang pe fectly, straight from the hips. For eve: ins dress the white waistcoat will be giv< a very prominent place.

It will hav a breast arid side pockets and silk-face shawl collar and will close with two but tons. . These coats are designed for hom and club wear and are worn with singli breasted waistcoats and trousers of tb , same material, white shirts, black ties an either lace or-button shoes. They're jus handy dress coats to wear down to dinne or to hang around the house or club in. NOVELTIES IN DRESS. One of- the best tailors on the avenu will introduce several novelties this com ing. autumn. One of these is an evenin; suit made of dark gray cloth. The coila is of the shawl pattern, faced with gra: silk. The trousers and waistcoat are madi -of the. same material as the coat Th suits are designed for wear at stag affairs ; about hotels and clubs and for the theatrt when women are not to be in the party. Another new idea is a house suit. It wil bc . made of a heavy rep sifk and lihe< . with silk. The colors are very brilliant The trousers are-made like pajama trous ers and ? fasten about the waist with t. broad bit of ribbon, with large silk tassel: at the ends. The coat is cut double-breast? ed and has large pockets. The suit maj be worn with a silk shirt. It "is just foj wear In one's room In overcoats the long Chesterfields anc the skirted coats will be very popular. The skirted coat will be worn in the evening as well as during the day. These are eui like the "Paddock" and have well flared skirts. The "Raglan" will only be in rain? proofs and in coverts. The covert coat will be very popular. It will be cut full and quite short.. Sack suits will be made on lines that, while conforming to the lines of the body, do not .accentuate them. The military jacket is passe. The new jackets will be loose and will have perfectly straight backs. In shoes the principal departure is in the shape of the toe. The latest model snows the flat last with the outswung sole, but the tip is brought in to a much narrower point than last year's model. Low shoes will be worn* during the autumn and on pleasant days during the winter, but many look upon the low shoe as a mere winter fad. ' The patent leather shoes with kid tops will be the formal footwear. Shoes will be very plain for dress, and quite elaborately trimmed fer neglige and busi? ness wear..

Thej could make one man do the work of two. The old time foreman was a child before them. Then, one after another, the far seeing manufacturers chuckled. They had bridged the gulf between capital and labor and found real master workmen. They gave these men more swing and power and kept on the lookout for more youths from the technical schools. They came to see that the product from these institu? tions was getting better every year. The' technical schools and universities had won their point. They realized the growing demand for their m?n. They Re? doubled their efforts, added to their courses, consulted with the greatest and the most progressive manufacturers as to what, their needs, were and built up more perfectly, their equipment. Not alone did they reach out for machinery, but the newest and the best They had at last created a new market for m?n. If a concrete, striking instance is wanted of this, Sibley College or Cornell Universi? ty may be taken. That institution has a very famous railroad course. The "orders" that come to the college each spring for graduates are. greater than. Sibley can possibly supply. She cannot turn out enough men to meet the demancL Twice as many as she graduates each year cbtfrd be assured of positions. For the railroads say simply: "These are the men we want; they are the men that will rise with .us or with some other company. We can? not now get too many of them." " And so the demand is spreading out in many another branch of science.The American technical schools are turning out the product. It is these men that in later years do the inventing and the great pieces of executive work and make the ; discoveries. ' Is it any wonder :that the youth of England and the Continent are commencing to come to this country for technical training? . THE HERMIT OF CAPE MALEA. Why be Lived and Died on a Stupendous Cliff, Within Sight and Sound of the Ocean. There is one feature of Cape Malea that rarely fails to attract the notice of the most careless voyager doubling;-, it by. day, a touch of human tragedy and pathos, belonging in point of chronology to our own time, but in universal inter? est to all ages. At the extreme pitch of the cape a stupendous cliff rises, sheer, from the fretting, waves for about a hun-" dr?d feet. Then . comes an irregular plateau, cr shelf, of perhaps two acres in. area, the mountain rising, .again abruptly behind it to a height of about 2,000 feet. This plateau is apparently, in? accessible, and yet, perched upon, a huge bowlder in its centre, a mass of/rock de? tached from the mountain ages ago, is a house. It Is.rudely built of wooden fragments Ingeniously fitted together, but its outlines convey at once, the idea of its designer having been an Anglo Saxon. It must.be firmly built, too, for it is exposed to the full fury of wind re? bounding from the mountain face, and - the observer instinctively wonders vwhy, if a house must be built on 'that shelf, so terribly exposed a position was se? lected. Then if he be fortunate- he will hear its story, says E. T. Bullen, i in the London Spectator. About twenty-five years ago there was a young sailor, who, by dint of hard work, integrity of "character and firmness of will, reached at the age of 26 the'summit' of his ambition-becoming master of what would then be called a good-sized..steam ship, some 900 tons register. Upon this accession to good fortune he married, the girl of his choice, who had - patiently waited for him since as . boy. and* giri -sweethearts they parted oh his first going to sea. And with rare complacency his owners gave him the inestimable privilege of carrying his yoting bride to sea. with; him. How happy he was! How deep and all embracing his pride, as,, steaming down the grimy Thames, he explained :to the light of his eyes . all the. wonders that she was now witnessing for the first time, but which, he had made familiar to : her mind by his oft-repeated sea stories during the few bright days between voyages that he. had been able tor devote to courtship! The ship was bound to several Mediterranean, ports, the time. be^ lng late autumn, and consequently the most Ideal -.season for a honymoon' th?t could possibly be .imagined. Cadiz,. Genoa, Naples,-Venice, a delightful tour, with not one weary moment wherein to wish for' something else! Even a flying visit to cid Rome from Naples had been'.possible? for . the two officers, rejoicing in their . happy-young skipper's joy, saw'ito it that no unnecessary cares should trouble him, and bore willing testimony, in order , that he should get as much delight out ' of those halcyon days as possible, that the entire crew were as docile as. could be wished, devoted to their bright command? er and his beautiful wife. Then at Venice came orders to .proceed to Galatz. and load wheat for -\ home;: Great Was the glee of the girl-wife. She ? would see Constantinople and the Dahr ?be. -Ulfe would hardly be long enough to recount all the wonders of this most wonderful of wedding trips. And. they sailed, with hearts overbrimming with joy as the blue sky above them seemed-1 welling over with sunlight. Wind and weather favored them; nothing .occurred | to cast a shadow over their happiness until, nearing Cape Malea at that fatal hour of the morning, just before dawn; when more collisions occur than at .any other time, they were run into by a blundering ' Greek' steamer coming; the other way, and Cut down amidships to i the water's edge. To their peaceful sleep;; or quiet appreciation, of the night's '?il--' vern-splendors succeeded the overwhelm^ ing-flood;' the hiss and roar of escaping steam, the suffocating embrace of death; Bi that 5 dread fight for . life. all perished; but one-he so lately the happiest. Cf men-the skipper. Instinctively, clinging to a piece of wreckage, he - had been; j washed ashore under Cape . Malea at the ebbing of the scanty tide, and his-strong' physique, reasserting itself," enabled him to climb those rugged battlements- and reach the plateau. Here he was found?! gazing seaward by some goatherds,' who^ in search of their nimble-footed flocks; had wandered down the precipitous. side/ of the mountain. They endeavored, to;;? persuade him to come with them back,; to the world, but in vain. He would dive,: , gratefully accepting some of their poor provision, but from that watching place he would not go. And those rude -peas? ants, understanding' something of. hisv woe, sympathized with him so deeply that without payment or hope of anyV thev helped him to build his hut and kept him supplied with such -poor mor? sels of food and drink as sufficed for his stunted needs. And there, with his gaze fixed during all his waking hours upon that inscru? table depth wherein all his bright hopes had suddenly been quenched, he lived until quite recent years, ".the world for? getting, by the'world forgot,"-a living monument of constancy and patient, unr complaining grief. By his humble friends, whose language he never learned, he was regarded as a saint, and when one day they came upon his lifeless body,' fallen forward upon its knees at a little glazed window through which he was wont to look upon the sea where his dear one lay, they felt confirmed in their opinion of the ? sanctity of the hermit of Cape Malea. LINCOLN'S pIRTHTXfA CE To he Utilized as nn Aiylum for Inebriate?. Down in the Blue Grass region of Ken? tucky, on the same farm where Abraham Lincoln was 'born and spent his boyhood^ days, says the Chicago Tribune, the St.; Luke's Society, of Chicago, is to estab- ; Hs h a home for the inebriates of -the South. : A large hotel, small cottages and com- ? modious dwellings w?ll be erected by the ; society, and, though the land is in the ! South, the negro will be made as welcome ! as the white. The Lincoln farm is in the town of Hodgenville. fifty miles south' of Louis- I ville, and consists of 110 acres of pasture .land. On It is a spring of mineral water, the fame o'f which is great below the Mason and Dixon line. It was owned by some prominent Methodists of Ithe South, 1 among them the Rev J. W. Bingham. Some time ago its owners decided to do-, nate its use to charity, and they chose the 'St Luke's Society as the organization best su?ted 'to carry out their plans. The farm will be turned into a sanita? rium, planned much after that now run by the society at Nos 1.710 to 1.T1S Indiana avenue. On it will 'be taken only those who are addicted ro drugs. liquors or tabacco. The treatment is to be similar to that given at the Chicago Hospital. "While the officers of the society are busy trying to get the Lincoln farm in shape, they are also at work establishing a branch within the Cook County jail. There prison? ers known to be victims of the drug, li? quor or tobacco habit are sri ven over to Dr Miller and his assistant. Dr La Grange. The latter devotes all his time to them and lives in the same quarters with them THE 'HEART OF MOSTROSE. BEQUEATHED BY THE MABQ UJS TO BIS NIECE, LABYJtAPJEB. Gruesome Belle of a Valiant Scott Uh Hero and how i twa* SJytterionsly Lost Little Hope of the Ultimate Recovery of the Kel ic, but After the Laps? of One Hundred Years the Heart of the Graham May Once Again Bent on Scottish Soil. y+JFrom Chambers's Journal.) Alas ".that no one knows where-but somgwnere, certainly-the heart of valiant James Graham, Marquis of Montrose, awaits the collector of curiosities! Tossed among- bits of armor, old china, bric-a brac, in some old curiosity shop in the ! north of France; possibly now carried tb | Paris or London, it may lie in some old i lady's lumber attic; or, trampled years ago j into the ground of a back garden in Bou? logne, Pierre and little Marie may turn it i up any day with their spades. "Qu'est-^ce que c'est donc," this little old, beaten, ! egg-shaped box of steel? Wiry, Pierre and j Marie, it holds, if you only knew it, the ! dust of a Scottish hero's heart, and,the| case itself was fashioned out of his good j steel sword. j Montrose knew Merchiston Castle, Edin- ? burgh,-well; it was, in fact, a second home ! to himin his boyhood, for his sister Mar? garet -had married Sir Archibald Napier ! when.,Montrose was 6 < > 7 yeairs old, and he spent much of his tiiie with-them. The Napiers had, besides, a town mansion; within the precincts of Ho?yrood House; but to little Montrose, brought up in the country,--the old castle, with its barns and out houses and granges, was no doubt .a J more attractive holiday home than a dull town house in the fashionable Cannongate. One can fancy the little figure, in its clothes of "green camlet" or "mixed par-; ! gone" and "cloak with pasmcnts," wan-i I dering with his bow and arrows about: the 'parks, or, maybe,, escaped from;his watch? ful '"p?dagog," Master William Forcett; imperiling himself, bpylike, on the battle? ments bf the castle. ' .? But to get to the story of the" heart one. must^ leave the life and hasten to the ^eath pf Montrose. His sister and broth errih-law had died long . before, .and the owner of Merchiston in 1650 was Mont rose's nephew, the second Lord Napier. A great affection existed -between. Montrose and his niece by marriage, Lady Napierp and as a mark of it he bequeathed to her: his heart-a strange, and, if one must tell" the ?truth, an embarrassing,, legacy; but looked :upon by the lady.-"herself as a su? preme honor and a sacred trust. Montrose was executed at the Market Cross of Edinburgh on Tuesday, May 21, 1650. The. extraordinary composure . arid gallantry of his bearing are well attested".; .An {unsigned letter in the'. British Museum,' .written by a spectator while the execution: was. actually going-on, says: "I never, sa^ a more sweeter carriage in a man in all m^life.; He is just now turning off from: the ladder; but his countenance changes, not." Another account says: "He stept along.the streets with so great state, so much beauty, majesty and gravity as j amazed the beholders. And many of his enemies . did acknowledge - him -to be [the] ?bravest- subject in the world, and in him a gallantry that graced all the crowcL'^ Clothed in "fine scarlet richly shamrnaded" with. - golden. lace, and linen with . fine pearling about, bis , delicate, white; gloves} -in', hisj : hand, his stockings ..ot:, incarnate ? silk, his shoes with their "ribbons on his feet," his dress \was "more becoming a j bridegroom: than a. criminal." i-f; After hanging on the gibbet for- three; i hours, the body was taken down ?j and the ? head was affixed to the Tolbooth; " the I limbs were dispersed to various - places throughout the Kingdom, and the dismezrir. bered trunk was enclosed in a "little short ches?" and 'buried on the Borbughmuiri The Boroughmuir was. the usual p?a?eV'pf; execution and. burial, for the worst crimi? nals; it was a place bf evil reputation?Ht^' .tle^sought during the day and much'to be shunned by night. No wonder, then, that some "adventu? rous-spirits" were requbredrwhb' - would; steal to that grewsom?r'spoC raise . the hastily and none too deeply buried; body; and. cut from it the heart of Montrose. The master of Merchiston was in exil? :io Holland; it was Lady Napier alone wiio planned the night excursion and saw it carried out. Did her heart fair ner that . May night,' waiting at the foot bf the* turi" ret-stair : until her messengers, Teturning, put irr herjtiands something not seen, but felt, with, the square of fine linen all ^"tricked with bloody gules?".: That same; square of linen and the pair of stockings, of "incarnate" silk showing ? still darker stain have remained ever since among the] treasured possessions' of the ?apair fanU .-. For a? time, then, the heart was safe at Mefchistom It was embalmed and-'in? closed iii a little steel case "made of the blade of Montrose's sword; the case-was. placed' in a fine gold filigree box. which had; belonged to John Napier, the inven? tor' of rogarithms; and thevbbx in its turn was deposited "in a silver um. Before very long,, however, Lady Napier dispatched the casket by some faithful hand to the young Marquis of Montrose, . who, .with Lord Napier and .others of . the onn?ction, was'still living in exile in Hot land, and here begins the first part of Jjts adventures, of which, unfortunately, no record now* remains. For many years the'heart was complete? ly lost sight of, and any. hope of ever re? gaining it had long been given up,. whehVa? friend of the Napier family recognized- the: gold filigree box enclosing^ the steel case among a collection of curiosities in Hoi-: land; He .purchased the relic at once and returned it to Merchiston, at that time the property of Francis, the fifth Lord Napier. .There for a second time the. heart reposed, but not for long. On the death of the fifth Lord Napier it passed into the. keeping of his only surviving daughter^ Hester, afterward. Mrs Johnston. Some years after her marriage Mrs John? ston was on a voyage to India: with her husband, her little, son, and all their household goods, when their ship, which formed part of the fleet under Commodore Johnston, was attacked by a French -frigate, and a stiff fight ensued. Mr John? ston busied himself with four of the guns upon the quarter deck, while his wife? who had refused to go below, remained beside him, a heroically obstinate figure, holding by the one hand her little boy, and in the other a thick velvet reticule, into which she had hurriedly crammed all the things she valued most, including, of course, the heart, %In the middle of the fight a splin? ter struck Mrs Johnston on the arm, wounding her severely. The velvet reti? cule gave little protection-to its precious contents, and the gold filigree box was completely shattered, but the inner steel case remained unharmed. It must have been some consolation to Mrs Johnston that, when the attacking frigate retired; the English commodore left the flag ship and came on board the Indianman to offer his thanks and congratulations to the lady and her husband, who had set the crew so gallant an example. Arrived in India, it was easy to find a clever goldsmith, who constructed another gold filigree box in place of the one broken, also a silver urn like the original. On the outside of the um was engraved in two native dialects a short account of Mon? trose's life and death. The um soon came to be regarded by the natives as something uncanny, and the report spread that it was a talisman, and that its owner would never be wounded or taken prisoner in bat? tle. So one is. not surprised to learn that before long the urn and its contents were stolen, and in spite of every effort could not be traced. Mrs Johnston, however, discovered after some time that it had been sold for a large sum of money to a powerful chief in the neighborhood of Ma? dura. / r'^It.-was training.,or.-ene;, irow^sg? boy, who h^^stood besMe his parents dur~.;'r?5 ;1ngV;the attack^.on.'-the Indiaman to:^pend-:?| four months'.o'f every year with a- nafiw^^ -chief* in order to "learn- .someth?ng';o?;.:.t3j?|?^ language and native methods of,'huiitt^*?g" and-shooting.
