UNTOLD MISERY

RHEUMATISM

FROM

C. H. King, Water Valley, Miss., cured by

Ayer's Sarsaparilla

"For five years, I suffered untold misery from muscular rheumatism. I fried every known remedy, consulted tlie best physicians, visited Ilot Springs, Ark., three times, spending $1000 there, besides doctors' bills *ut could obtain only temporary relief. My ish was wasted away so that I weighed only ninety-three pounds my left arm and leg were drawji out of shape, the muscles

being twisted up in knots. I was unable to dress myself, except with assistance, and could only hobble about by using a cane. I had no appetite, and was assured, by the doctors, that I could not live. The pains, at times, were so awful, that I could procure relief only by means of hypodermic injections of morphine. I had my limbs bandaged in clay, in sulphur, in poultices but these gave only temporary relief. After trying everything, and suffering the most awful tortures, I began to take Ayer's Sarsaparilki. Inside of two months, I was able to walk without a cane. In three months, my limbs began to strengthen, and in the course of a year, I was cured, flyweight has increased to 105 pounds, and I am now able to do my full way's work as a railroad blacksmith."

FOE TO THE DROUGHT

PRAIRIE SETTLERS STRIVE TO WATER THE DRY LANDS.

Farmers Are Making Extraordinary Efforts to Adopt Home Irrigation—The Simple Means Employed—Great Need of

Abundant Water—Use of the Winds.

[Special Correspondence.]

ABILENE, Kan., July 9.—The hot winds and dry weather which may be expectcd to afflict the prairie regions, particularly through western Kansas and Nebraska, during the coining three months will have a new foe to meet. The most striking features of agriculture in the above section at present are the well nigh universal turning toward individual effort in preparing for drought and the hundreds on hundreds of private irrigation plants which have been put in operation.

By wind power, by ditches leading from the streams, by ponds of water held by dams which pen up the rainfall in the ravines, by the mysterious "underflow" and in other ways are the people trying to solve the problem of permanent and certain crop production. The state of Kansas is spending $30,000 in test irrigation wells and water surveys. Nebraska is expei'imenting extensively, and many counties are doing their part in the general effort. The movement is more extensive than was ever dreamed of before and is certain to result in a decided influence on prairie agriculture. Farmers talk it on the streets, the country newspapers are filled with reports of work accomplished, and a general education in the principles of successful land moistening is going on.

Heretofore irrigation has been looked upon as a thing for wealthy corporations to handle. Ditches 10 to 30 miles long have been built across the level prairies at immense cost, then drifted full of sand. This spring settlers who had grown weary of waiting for a chance to purchase water rights set to work on a small scale, most of them being satisfied if arrangements could bo made to water four or five acres.

The means employed are in many instances unique and in some amusing. The "jumbo" or "mogul" windmill is both, Built liko a steamboat paddle wheel, 10 feet in diameter and

feet long, it has a

dozen radial arms and is mounted on five foot posts. Aboard fence, built tight, is

TALKING IWUGATIOX OX THE STREET, erected covering the lower half of the crude contrivance. The wind does the rest, pushing tirelessly upon the exposed upper portion of the fans. At a cost, including pumps, of less than 8100 plenty of water has been raised by one of these crude machines to supply a five acre field.

Most frequently the plants are located near the prairie streams, and the pumps aro run by engines, the same that will fur-

nish power to thrashing machines after the crops are gathered. So thick are these homemade plants on one stream that the millers below have demanded in court that the irrigationists cease operations. In a small town near by are 30 windmills, each pumping day and night to lift to the surface the underground waters. On five acres properly irrigated the set tier can support his family, and the present season will demonstrate whether enough water can be raised to the fields to accomplish this upon the claims generally.

The rich underflow, the vast body of water which sweeps seaward beneath the surface, has been proved to be of great value in some places. At one point in the Arkansas valley a ditch leading out of the river and across the high ground was during the dry spell in May without a drop of water at its opening, as indeed was the river. At the head, 2,000 feet away, enough water flowed by to irrigate 200 acres of prairie land, and on this tract big orops are being raised. The water comes up from the bottom of the ditch. Experiments made this spring by the national geological surveying corps show that in western Kansas the underflow rises 200 feet in wells 250 feet deep, showing an artesian quality to the supply which lacks but little of giving an open surface "spouter" such as are found farther north.

The most encouraging feature of the experiments going on is that they are dependent less on state and national aid induced by petition than on downright hard work on the part of those to be benefited. When 50 to 100 plants are operated in each county, as is the case in western Kansas at resent, the system will be thoroughly tested.

"What is the greatest difficulty you have to contend with'?" I asked an experienced irrigator from Colorado who is superintending a central Kansas plant. "The soil. It is rich enough and needs only water to make It produce well, but when the water is applied it seems to sink through to China Instead of being held near the surface by a sandstone substratum." V*TV "Can irrigation succeed here?" "Perhaps, but it must be followed differently from the Colorado methods and must bis niade a system instead of a constant experiment."

This is what the Kansas farmers are striving for, and if they can accomplish it fewer white covered wagons will take discouraged occupants "back to the wife's folks," and better clothes and a more permanent prosperity will come to the settlers who have braved so much to succeed. The present season means a great deal to western agriculture atid will go far to determine whether the old time "American desert" shall.indeed blossom as the rose.

SKIN TIGHT SLEEVES.

THEY HAVE BEEN SEEN IN STYLISH PARIS.

They Mar Be a Precursor of a Change In This Country—They Already Begin to Droop—New Waists—A Curious Pair of

Sleeves.

[Special Correspondence.!

NEW YORK, July 8.—How to reconcile two facts has puzzled more than one person when those facts seem to oppose each other completely. I am thinking of the sleeves as we see them and as they have been seen in Paris. The leaders of the 6tyles there have appeared at their races and at several other of the functions where the new styles are always shown first, and they have worn skin tight sleeves,

with a tiny little flare at the wrists, and this filled in with fine lace. All the upper part of the sleeve fits as tight as a jersey. One lady remarked to another that she thought those new sleeves were positively indecent. So far the only indication of the change we have seen over here is that the sleeves do not stand up as high as they have done, but owing to the stiff and flat shoulder pieces and caps they are wider out than they were. The Louis XVI modes aro coming in, they say, and that means tight upper and flowing under sleeves. For myself, I shall be sorry to see the leg o' mutton sleeve depart, for it has been a boon in many ways. It makes a stout figure look slender by comparison, and the young and too slim girl manages to look a perfect figure by its deceptive aid.

There aro numbers of ways of draping the gigot sleeve, one of the latest being the muskmelon, where it lies in ridges as if nature had arranged the slices. It all depends upon the way the plaits are laid in. The modus operandi cannot bo explained, but the dressmaker can understand it by a referenco to the pictures of the sleeves. There is ono consolation—it will be easier to cut tho sleeves down to the smaller dimensions than it has been to build them up.

Waists are very ornate, but once in awhile ono stumbles across a neat and compact design that is immensely pleasing. One had a plain short basque finish with a I vest of thin silk. This was gathered to a sharp point, and on each side was a pretI ty ornament of passementerie, with steel beads. The gown was gray and black cheviot. On the shoulders and across the bust there was more of tho steel passementerio and more over the coral pink vest.

Tho sleeves to this were gigots, and the folds were laid in deep and in such away as to show broken lines. I Other sleeves there are too numerous to mention, but I shall speak of two styles of sleeve in vogue for summer gowns. Ono has puffs with tho fullness gathered up in places under funny little bows, with pert rabbit ear ends. There was a gown of polka dotted lavender sicilenno, tho skirt plain and the sleeves with these upper balloonlike puffs. Tho forearm part had a little frill of lace. The waist of the dress was simply gathered, but over the bust there was draped surplice fashion some very rich white lace. This was held together on tho shoulder by two fancy rhinestone pins, and another held tho center of the bow at tho belt. Tho belt and bows were garnet colored. Tho lace extended below the belt several inches in a jabot. The whole gown was dainty and summery.

Another curious if not beautiful pair of sleeves were appendages of a tasteful summer gown. This was of rose colored taffeta striped with black. Tho skirt was plain and quite long in the bacl^, though not even a demitrain. There was a pocket In a come-at-able place, and on the opening was a double shirring of maize silk muslin, with a row of wax pearls in tho center. The waist was plain in the back, but down the front there were ono double and two single rows of shirred muslin, the center one having a row of the beads. Between each of the sliirrings was a band of moss green velvet ribbon ending in loops top and bottom. Tho sleeves were complex affairs. At the top were three rows of close shirring in a sort of shell form to stand out like caps. The rest was shirred lengthwise and puffed, and he

tween each puff was a row of beads. The forearms were of the taffeta and had frills of white chiffon, the under part hanging down twice as deep as the rest. It was a quaint and pdd idea, but very becoming to any one.

One of the prettiest of the novelties of this summer is the crepe lisse ruffling worn at the top of the neckbands. This is made waterproof by. the same process that makes the crape veiling proof against dampness. Every one who has had a crepe lisse ruffle wilt inside of ten minutte on a warm day will appreciate this. This ruffling has' a softening effect on elderly fatos, but makes young ones look like Easter eggs. OLIVE HARPER »4 K'

To Make Gowns Set Out.

Various devices are resorted to to make gowns stand, out enough and not too much. One of the most successful plans at .the back of the waist Is a couple of box plaits of!
