On the crna* of shame she wa.s crucified ;
But the world was stern and would not yield,
And they buried her in the potter's field.
The man died, too, and they burled him

And said, a* they turned from his gtHve away,
"Ve have buried un honest man today."
July Weather.
Condensed from Word and Works foi July.
July will open with fair weather
for the most part over the country.
About the 3d it will grow much
warmer to the westward, the barom-
eter will fall, and general storm con-
ditions will pass eastward over the
country, 3d to 5th. Indications
that the winds will be southerly and
that very warm weather wdl reach a
climax about that date. Rising ba-
rometer and cooler will follow storm
areas, causing more pleasant tem-
peratures, with a brief spurt of quite
cool weather immediately after the
new moon on the 7th.
The Vulcan storm period is cen-
tral on the gth ami blending with
the Mercury period up to the 12th,
will bring one of the "heated terms"
of the summer. Heat, low barom-
eter and other storm conditions,
leading up to the 12th, severe elec-
trical storms are apt to culminate
on and touching the same. A wel-
come change to cooler weather is
probable, for a brief spell, behind
the storms of this period. Heavy,
local rains will visit narrow sections
during these storms, but empty
clouds and severe bluster will be the
more general rule. About the 14th
to 16th will bring falling barometer
and much warmer weather, with
tendency to local, summer storms
generally. We predict that rains
will be light, except in rare cases,
during all the remainder of July.
Threatening clouds and heavy blus-
tering winds, with lightning and
thunder, will appear more or less at
the regular periods; but a general
deficiency of diffused, normal rains
will be the order, with local cloud-
bursts here and there in regions con-
tiguous to the seacoasts and lakes.
The next regular storm period
will fall from the 19th to 22d; it will
be a period of threatening weather,
with some rain and much bluster.
The period will reach its culmina-
tion on and touching the 221!, about
which date look for change to cool-
er and more pleasant weather, the
same to reach most sections before
the 26th. The reactionary storm
days, 26th to 28th, will begin with
rapid change to much warmer in all
western parts promptly on the 25th,
this being the date of the moon's
passage over the equator. Another
depressed state of the barometer
will pass over the country, 26 7 8,
breaking into local summer storms

Rosa Bonheur.
The death of Rosa Bonheur re-
moves one of the world's greatest
benefactors. Anybody who does
good work is a benefactor. She
was a hard and faithful worker, and
a recognized master in her chosen
line of work. As a painter of ani-1
mals her power was wonderful. As
a child she had a great knowledge
and love of animals, and early was
able to make pictures that attracted
the attention of good judges. When
very young she lived for a while
with a farmer. Her recreation was
painting the horses, cows, sheep,
and pigs about the place. One of
her first pictures was of the farmer's
family cow. A collector chanced
to see it, and offered her the equiv-
alent of $7^ for it. She went to the
farmer and told him about it, ask-
ing his advice. He crossed himself,
cautioned her to get her hand on
the money quick and not say a
word, as the cow herself wasn't worth
more than $40. There are a great
many people with money who would
value an old cow more highly than
a great picture of it. Rosa Bonheur
always dressed in masculine attire
because she found skirts and petti-
coats a nuisance in getting about
among the animals she loved so
well. She owned a beautiful home
with large grounds at Fontaine-
bleu, where it was difficult for her to
keep away from people who wanted
to see the great painter. She was
the recipient of all kinds of animals,
enormous French cart horses, Afri-
can lions, and even wild West spec
imens of the American bronco.

He paid *85,769 for the Scipio and
is offering it for sale at the appraised
valuation of £25,000. The Gov-
ernor Russell cost Uncle Sam S71,-
000. and it is now offered for sale
at the appraised valuation of £35,-
000. On these six vessels alone
Uncle Sam loses #574,265. Then
the World-Herald asks: "If Uncle
Sam was bilked to the extent of
£574,269 on six vessels, how much
was he bilked on 200 vessels?"
Japan offers some matrimonial cu-
riosities. In one village there is a
remarkable woman who has been
legally married twenty-nine times.
She commenced her career as a
New \ ork state, which has a pop-
ulation of 7,000,000, and where Pop-
ulism hasn't been "intruded" into
her educational institutions, has on-
ly 127 students in her agricultural
college. Michigan's agricultural
college is the oldest in the country,
and yet it secures only 480 students
out of a population of 2,250,000.
The Iowa agricultural college, which
has also escaped the blight of popu-
lism, gets only 573 students out of
2,200,000 inhabitants. Massachu-
setts has a population of nearly
three millions, whom the Lord has
so far preserved from the taint of
populism, and lias an agricultural
college where the course of instruc-
tion is strictly confined to "raising
more corn and less hell," but it only
has 157 students. But Kansas—

Kansas, where political "heresies"
and "Pop. mismanagement" have

stitutions,—has a population of only

record of 100 husbands before she
bids farewell to her youth. In an-
other case a husband, finding that
his wife had he bad taste to prefer
another gentleman to himself, did
not rave, or swear, or repair to the
divorce court. He acted like a
philosopher. Calling the pair to-
gether, he calmly proposed that, as
they appeared to hit it, they should
marry. All he demanded was the
usual commission of a matrimonial
middleman. Most marriages are
conducted in Japan by an inter-
mediary, and it is usual to pay them
a bonus on the transaction. This
commission the complainant hus-
band obtained, and everything
ended up amicably.—London

The fixed payments amo unt to an
average of about $240 per family a
year. These consist of interest,
transportation charges and taxes.
Some families of course pay more
than $240; one out of every ten pays

WEEDS.
Yankee "civilization" has taken
the untutored Filipino by the nape
of the neck and given him such a
shaking up as to make his wool \
stand on edge. He will remember
the exhilerating process long after
we have shot the last one of him to [
glory via the 13-inch route. First
we sent over 127 carloads of Mil-
waukee beer and opened 300 saloons
in Manila. And now some Chicago
capitalists have asked Uncle Sam
for charters to establish national
banks in the Philippines. National
banks have about sapped the life
out of industry in this country, and
if a similar system is going to be
foisted by us on the Filipinos—in
addition to the drunk industry—we
can see sense in Aguinaldo't resist-
ance to our method of civilizing.

The Farm Journal is unlike any
other paper; for one thing it ptints
no quack medical advertisements;
for another it takes five-year sub- ,
scriptions and gets the paper to its
subscribers the full time if they are
anywhere on this planet, even if
they move two or three times; if
they die there heirs get it. Now
we are going to send the Farm
