This advance is made on the strong position of the fiber market, and indications are that pres ent prices will be maintained, although even higher prices may prevail in the very near future. Consumption will be larger than an ticipated as, from farm papers of the Mississippi valley, a larger amount of twine than usnal will be required for the oat harvest, an increase of at least 25 per cent by most conservative esti mate. Wheat straw is large and grain lodged, thus demanding more twine where only an average was looked for few weeks since. This means a shortage of twine in the East. A careful canvass of the Northwest indicates that home manufacutrerg are well prepared to take care of the market of this section, and native pride would dictate that, other things being equal, home products should be given prefer ence. Brands with no superior in .quality, and an excellence such as pos sessed by the Ciover Leaf Brand with lower cost per 1,000 feet, also market near at hand, dealers should not hesi tate in making up their orders.

The skin is the seat of an almost end less variety of diseases. They are knewn by various names, but are all due to the same cause, acid and other poisons in the blood that irritate and interfere with the proper action of the skin. To have a smooth, soft skin, free from all eruptions, the blood most be kept pure and healthy. The maay preparations of arsenic and potash and the large number of face powders and lotions generally aaed in this class of diseases cover np for a short time, but cannot remove per manently the ugly blotches and the red, disfiguring pimple.

Especially had young George Ames put himself out to entertain him, and quite naturally winsome, warm-hearted Alma Phillips discovered a kindred friendship. A great idea came Into Barton's mind; these two were msde tor one another. They were very young only sixteen then but mutually in love. It would be the object of his life to nurture their pretty engagement. They would marry, he would endow George with at farm, sug gesting a life-tenancy for himself aa a compensation. Then came up the Spanish war. Burton caught the martial fever at home and the real malarial in the Philippines.

"I fear not" gravely replied Russell. "I suppose you know the bone of conten tion between these two stubborn-headed old fellows ?" , "I don't, but I want to know," assert ed Burton. "Well, you remember the eighty-acre strip that lies between the two fsrnis belongs to the Morris estate. Last year Ned Morris leased it for ten years to Ames. Same time, unknowingly, Lids Morris leased It to Phillips. Both claim ed It. Neither would give in. They've fought like cats and dogs over their re spective claims. I suggested they use it alternate years. No go. I've got the leases in my document bag there, and I've come down to aee if they won't fix the matter up."

"Hurrah for the Fourth of July!" Uncle Rolfe wsved his hst with a will. "But it isn't the Fourth of July yet!" piped a tiny nephew. Hurrah for the third of July, then!" rosred the whole-hearted visitor. "Glory! Buggy blown to Binders, horse run away, Lawyer Russell scared to death, but all the same hurrah!" There was csuse for Jubilation. Uncle Rolfe hsd come as the good angel of the occasion. Now, four hours sfter the explosion, two shame-faced neighbors shook bands. and "made up," and meekly smiled upon happy Alma and George, cooing among the rose bushes. The explosion had ended "litigation," for it had blown to Binders both of the leases that made the eighty acres a bone of contention.
