GOOD DOCTRINE.

The Massachusetts Democrats de- mand the maintenance of the existing gold standard of value and that the government shall keep all It's obliga- tions at all times redeemable in gold. They also oppose the free coinage of sil- yer and any further purchase of silver bullion on government account.
 A Republican convention couldn't do better than this, and few Republican conventions that have thus far been held have done quite as we'll But it is growing plainer and p1ainer that there is in both parties such opposition to the silver craze that it will not do much more harm. This country has strange and encouraging way of getting out of scrapes just when it seems most doubt ful that it will get out. It is getting out of the silver scrape in fine shape.

less satisfactory, A half dozen lumber and paper companies comprise all the principal operators in this region, Two of the smallest of these make an annual harvest Of 5,OOO.OOO feet of timber, and the others make still larger drafts upon their territories, Most of the lumber men now, however, limit their cuttings to diameter Of ten or twelve inches at the stump, saving the smaller growth to take the place of the old forest. The work of education engaged in by the State Forestry commission, and helped on by the Appalachian club, has been productive of good results. The belief is growing In New Hampshire that it is a good investment to plant trees where crops can be grown only with difficulty, and agriculturalists are more generally turning their attention to forestry as profitable business.

PRAc1fCE IND PREACHTNG.

Professor Booker T. Washington. who is just now one of the most con- spicuous men in this country, and very properly and honorably so, has prac- ticed what he breaches to the people of his race. He was born slave in Virl ginia in 1857. Soon after the war he went with his mother and stepfather to Madison, West Virginia. Here he worked in the salt furnaces the greater part of each year, going to school three or four months each year. When not able to go to school in the daytime, he would devote his nights to study In 1871 he heard of the Hampton Institute in Virginia, and at once made LID his mind to go there. He had enough mon- ey to carry him to Richmond, but reached there friendless and shelter less. His first nights sleep was taken in hole under the sidewalk When he awoke he found he was near a vessel
  work, enabling him to earn enough to carry him to Hampton, with a. surnlus of fifty cents. He worked his way through this institution, and, after graduating, went back to West Vir- ginia, where he taught school for a While. Then he was able to spend a year at Way1and Seminary, at Wash ington. From there he was called hack to Hampton as teacher, and remained there two years. When application was made to General $. c. Armstronp by citizens of Tuskegee, Alabama, for some one to start an institution at that place on the plan of the Hampton h. stitute, Prof Washington was recom- mended for the place. When he got there, he found no lands or buildings; nothing, in fact, but the promise of the State to pay $2,OOO annually toward the of the school. The school was started in an old church and shanty with thirty students and one teacher. Under Prof. Washington's admfnistra- ion, thisinstitution has now 1,9OO acres 'f land, and its aggregate assets are valued at at least a quarter of a million dollars. Professor Washington was we'll qual- fled to play the wonderful part he played at the opening of the Atlanta |

THE CHRISTIAN WOKKERs

New Haven has had some interesting
 and important conventions this year, but it has had none more interesting
 or more important than the convention
 Of Christian Workers which will meet
 here next month. The session will con-
 tinue for eight days, and the pro- gramme of the exercises gives promise
 of an abundance of good things It is
 expected that between 2,0O0 and 5000 delegates will be present from all over the United States and Canada. Those who witness the proceedings will get new idea of the vitality of Christianity, and new idea of what is being done for the heather of civilized lands. Many of the Christian Workers are as real missionaries as the missionaries who go to China or to Africa, and it should not detract from the interest felt in their work that it Is done at home in- stead of in foreign lands. Some of it is done right here in New Haven, where the field for missionary work is large and growing. A similar field exists in all cities and in many places outside of cities, and it is one of the most en- couraging facts of modern times that just when the churches seemed most inert and powerless the Christian Workers in and out of the churches began to grow numerous active and strong in answer to the need that was everywhere apparent. They have great ly helped the churches and the churches have appreciated and helped them And many thousands of those who most needed light and help have been given them. All honor to the Christian Work CTS, true and efficient knights of Chris tianity that they are

gone by" would be round waisted one with stick-straight-up sleeves, ana that very same rig could be re- duced by binding down the swell of the sleeves by wide ribbon drawn cap- like closely over the round of the shoul- der, the ribbon tying a little towards the back and the bow adding to the emphasis of fitness, but not bulge above the shoulder. To the belt worn with the round waist should be added hip pieces, and the belt itself should be turned down front and back and drawn to point, the hip pieces narrowing to follow the point. Worn now with a tippet of fur whose fronts hang low, and with an enormous wide hat weight ed with droopy bows and a plume or so, the outfit would easily pass muster.
 The change of styles does not as yet push aside the bodlces that have three loose boxpleats down the front, nor make unfashionable many other de- vices of loose fronts. This style was too generally accepted to die suddenly and even now it is incorporated in new and costly dresses. One of these is sketched here, a reception dress of pink and blue glace silk garnished with ecru silk hand embroidery which ap- pears around the hem and at the top of the silk lined pleat on the bodice. The bodice has plain bias silk back, but the front is covered with pleated white chiffon. A deep guipure collar, white satin belt and white silk stock collar are added, and the latter is studded with tiny white silk bows.
 Long shoulder seams seem the rule for house gowns and evening dresses, though for the street the rule is by no means imperative or even acknowl- edged. It is not likely that women of to-day will submit to having their arms pinioned to their sides by sleeves bound over the shoulders and yet a good many ball dresses are coming in for the approaching season that do just this.

A Turkish Fire Brigade.


 A Turkish fire-engine consists sin- ply of a hand-pump. supported on two long poles, and carried on the should CTS of four of the firemen.J The latter make great show of haste. They run at brisk trot, and keep shouting and yelling all the way, pushing rudely aside all wayfarers who are unlucky enough to get in their line of march But, in truth, Turks are seldom in hurry. It may be that their speed on setting out is stimulated more by the expectation of being able to levy ''back- sheesh,' if they are early on the scene, than by any ardent desire to quench fire. The clothing they wear is white. and their lower limbs and feet are bare. consequently their progress is noiseless but for the yells they emit as they push along
 There is high tower in Stambul and another on the other side of the Golden Horn at Galata, both of which display flags on the alarm of fire.

If fires break out dur ing the night, the Bekjies night watch mem take up the cry, and bawl out with discordant intonation where the fire is supposed to be.

It is encouraging to read that there is some improvement of late in the methods of dealing with the forests in the White Mountain region of New Hampshire. The lumbermen have learned enough about forestry to real ize that they can hardly afford to cut off the young trees, along with those of mature growth, in the forests where they are operating. They have found. too, that care in felling large trees, so as to do as little damage as possible to the young growth by the fan,i economy that proves profitable in the end; and though the fact that this course pre- serves the beauty of the landscape is little considered, the result is none the

Dr. Theodore R. Tinby, who at the age of nineteen invented the revolving turret, first used on the Monitor, lives in Chicago, and, in spite of his seventy three years. is hale and hearty. He was born on farm at Dover, Duchess County, New York, on April 5, 1922 On his fathers side he is of French origin, the ancestral mama being originally Timbra. His mother came from New England. The idea of the revolving tur- ret was suggested to him one day when he was passing Castle Williams, on Gov ernor's Island. He asked himself why it wouldn't be possible to put such a structure on pivot so that it could point its guns in every direction. He at once made model of his idea, and the result was the famous revolving turret. He has also invented many other useful devices, among them the American t,1r- bine wheel

Queries correspondent: zone would
suppose, from the part played by the

that this custom was common to all
northern peoples. Baldus was slain by
a mistletoe dart at the instigation of
Loki, and in reparation for the injury
the plant was afterwards dedicated TO
his mother, Frigg, so long as 1t did not
touch earth, Ioki's empire. On this

tletoe survived In some parts of

SAVED THE MUSICIAN.


nc was Christmas eve, many many
gears ago.
The cold had been intense all day,
hue now, toward night, a thick, white
fog rose put OF the muddy, swollen
waters of the Seine and obscured the
balldings Of the neighboring streets.
The clock on the tower Of the Church
OF Notre Dame struck 8. On the left
bank OF the Seine every street was de-
@srtaG except, perhaps, the principal
arteries of trade, and there Were
: scarcely a half dozen people in the
long, narrow Rue Mazarin back of
Yfhe Institute de France. THESE few
even did not notice a tall, old man,
who dragged himself painfully along.
and who stopped from time to time to
4lsudder with the cold, stopped because
y he seemed not to have strength enough
N}eft TO shudder and to move along at
re same time.
siHe leaned heavily on a thick cane
and his left arm pressed a long object
wrapped in a shawl tightly to his
ssody.
He was clothed in thin, shabby gar
meats-summer trousers, an old coat
that was buttoned UP to the neck,
perhaps TO hide the absence Of a shirt.
