There must be little coat made of the richest velvet that has a ground of satin, over which are so thickly strewn leaves, flowers and designs of velvet that the effect is really velvet. In this case, the ground is a warm bronze yell low and the figures are brown velvet to match the skirt. The coat is cut off short at the sides fitting down just be- low the belt line. It hangs open almost in Eton jacket fashion and three but tons of inlaid copper in Japanese de- sign are on the side. and big button holes on the other. Pointed revers turn away above. A bloused, front of full ivory pleated chiffon. thickly run with yellow lace, shows where the coat opens, and a little pointed belt of brown velvet marks the waist, over which the front hangs. The coat can button up. in which case it suddenly is

Practically all the wood used in mak- ing spools for thread in this country and Great Britain is cut in Maine for ests, but so great is the amount of 1um- Der required each year for the making of spools that Maine will not be able to supply the raw material much longer. The spools are made of birch wood and the birch of the Maine forests is the best for the purpose. More than 2,000,- 900 feet of lumber are shipped to Scot land every year for the use of the great thread manufactures there and almost as much is supplied to domestic manu- facturers. The business began in Maine twenty-five years ago and land that was cut over at that time is now well cover ed with young trees, but not for twen- fy-five years more will this timber be fit to cut. Birch timber is becoming scarce and it will not be many years before the threadmakers will have to look else where than to Maine for their spool wood. While 1t takes fifty years for birch forests to renew themselves the crop is considered a profitable one.

INSTINCT. OR RBASON2
Another Instance of Dogs Wonder.
FIJI intelIipence.

fui Intelligence.
Charles Petit, in q note to the RECORD
UNION, says:
In an editorial in your Monday morn
ing's issue you tell us of the instinct or
reason of an Intelligent Newfoundland
dog, which reminds me of q smart shep-
herd dog that L not long ago owned.
The dog had a habit of picking up
with his teeth, when with me, chip or
small stick, or anything of that sort he
might find, and running with it at full
speed around and around me- apparently
for my amusement. One day, as | was
approaching a narrow gateway near my
house, he picked up near the middle a
pole or strip of board about eight feet
long and started at full speed toward
the open gateway.
My first thought was to call him back,
fearing he might iniure himself in pass
ing through. Then it occurred to me to
let him go and see how he would manage
it. And what do you think he did?
Without hesitating, or Stacking his
speed in the Least, he just turned his head
to one side-which OF course turned the
long pole end wise-and passed through
in a jiify, without touching anything,
and continued on in great glee, as if ne
thought he had done something smart
The question is, How did the dog
know that the pole was too long to pass
through broadsido, as he was carrying
it? Was it by reason, or instinct? !

on Friday evening at the Metropolitan
Theater. Professor Dodd is indorsed by
the San Francisco Society of Psyche
logical Research, OF which be is a MEM
ber, and full account of which appeared
in the San Francisco Chronicle of August
18th. The society has in its ranks large
number OF professional and scientific
men. Professor DOdd Is an officer of the
association, on The Mem bershlp Commit
tee. 1t was this gentleman who, while

excited much interest. The society has
several members In Sacramento, one of
whom Is Il we'll known dentlst. The pur-
pose ot the society is TO thoroughly ex-
plot the phenomena of hypnotlsm ami
NAL magnetism and kindred subjects.
Professor Dodd brings with uim two as
slstants, who are peculiarly susceptible to
him ior experimental purposes, but he
does not contiue himself to them, but
operates with susceptibles chosen at large
from bis audiences. one OF the pur-
poses Ol IfOlSSSOr DOuQ Is TO teach
anyone Of fair health how to use mesmer-
