Paris, November 1O-The long enveloping cape is so much worn that it takes jump into the very heart of a woman's wardrobe as something which is almost necessary. It is worn evenings, as a matter of course, but 1t Is also worn day times, to receptions, exhibitions and the hundreds of bazars and shows which begin in Paris in the fall and last until Easter. lasting through Lent in even greater splendor than during the other seasons.
 The cape which is called opera cloak and wrap is so elegant this year that 1t is not thrown aside at all unless necessity actually requires but is worn, sometimes open and sometimes closed, as they used to wear tine long mantle in the 1880 days And an 1880 revival 1t is, the long, quaint cloak, made of elegant goods, heavily spangled and bejewelled, appliqued and embroidered until 1t is a work of art in itself, far superior to anything that could be wrought into a dress creation.
 Banana colored silk is very much worn for these evening capes Banana and mo- vice are equally popular, novice being a lighter shade of cream. This comes in a velour which looks like velvet, irregulary shaved and Is ideal for long cloaks.
 I am thinking as I write of cloaks I saw at the presidents first fall reception, the other day. Many of the invited guests were saying farewell to society before their de- parture for the Riviera and their gowns and cloaks were fresh from the artistic hands of the best couturieres
 A cloak of banana cream colored velours was as long as the dress skirt. nearly. Yet 1t was not full, but was cut on the circular order, rather scant so as to fly open in front. It was fitted snugly around the shoulders and from the neck to hem there was not fold.
 All over the banana colored velvet or velours, was a trimming of rose colored satin ribbon. shirred on each edge, and sewed in great irregular waves making a large swirling design which was as be- witching as it was uncertain.

 FOR EVENING WEAR

the application of lace inerusted in pearls. This is put on In a very broad design across the shoulders, narrowing finally to a point at the waist, and coming broad again around the lower edge, thus making a conventional pattern This beautiful gar
 nent is worn over a gown of net dotted with colored stones. It is of automobile red over the black and the combination is very rich and satisfactory.
 While many of the new opera cloaks are so high priced as to render them quite be- yond the average means there are others that are within reach. The more sensible sort can be constructed in such a way that they can be worn in the day time and if warmly made are useful as the outside garments of winter.
 Take the same cloak which, made of siren green gros grain satin, encrusted
 with pearl lace and trimmed with fur, is too elegant for every day use and make
 the same from hunters green cloth bor- dered as this Is a border season, with double ruchesses of black Liberty silk. The
 back Is trimmed with applications of leaf green cloth Cut into swirls and pressed into the goods, after being secured with
 taior's glue, of the sort which London
 tailors use freely in the application of tailor made gowns.
 The Red Riding Hood cape is very becom- ing and pretty made of deep red cloth It is in two parts, the cape and the hood, with
 broad band of satin ribbon around the neck fastened with a buckle of oxidized silver. The hood is satin lined and the little article can be worn over any cloak. One of the best couturieres of Paris told
 me that she had orders for all these little Red Riding Hood capes she could make. They were small and convenient and could
 be worn over coat or cape. On the stinging days of winter the hood could be pulled over the toque or turban with very pie turesque effect. The turbans for these
 hoods are delightful little puffs of velvet l shirred and plaited all over to form their | own trimming, which will in no way suffer | from having the hood turned over it. | There Is little real brocade seen compared l to the braided silks and satins.

combined, that Is adapted in all re-
spects to cattle raising.
The Government Is establishing three
agricultural experiment stations at
different points in the Territory, to test
thoroughly and scientifically the capa-
city of its soil for producing food sup
ply for its present and future popula-
ton. and enable the Territory ulti-
mately to become self-supporting with
respect to the food it may need.
The stations are at Sitka, on the
southeastern coast; at Kadiak, on
Kadjak island, off the southern coast;
and at Kenai, on the Kenai peninsula,
beside Cook inlet, about ITO miles to
the north and east. The conditions at
Sitka represent all the heavily timber
cd region Of southeastern Alaska, with
its deep moss and peaty SOIL AT
Kadlak the climate is somewhat cooler,
and the soil less peaty, while in the
Kenai peninsula there is large area Of
agricultural land inside the coast
range. which presents favorable condi-
tions for farming, although 1t lies
north of the sixtieth parallel of north
latitude.
Last year the Department sent to
Alaska special agent, Prof. Q. G..
Georgeson, a native Of Denmark. He
made his headquarters at Sitka and
skaguay, and experimental with seeds
of over 100 varieties of grain, vegeta-
bles. grasses and forage plants. He
also distributed seeds to individuals in
other localities in Alaska and made ar
rongements for cooperative expert
ments and reports as to the results OBJ
tained. All of the seeds were planted
between May 1S and May 20. The sea-
son was backward, and 1t was imprac-
tlcable to plant them earlier.
OF vegetable seeds planted there
were asparagus, wax beans, beets'
cress, kale, lettuce. mustard. onions

parsley, parsnips, peas, radishes, ruta-
bagas, rhubarb, satisfy, spinach, sage,
thyme, turnips and Windsor beans. All
these, including in some cases several
varieties Of each, except the wax beans
and spinach, made excellent growth
and produced vegetables and plants
that compared favorably with the
products Of gardens almost anywhere
in southern latitudes. The peas were
especially prolific, and the turnips, rad
ishes, parsnips, parsley and satisfy pro-
douced roots as good as can be found
anywhere. Some of the turnips weigh
ed five pounds each, and some even ten
pounds, and were of excellent flavor.
Potatoes also were a decided success.
Many Of them weighed each a pound
or more.
A more important test, however, was
made with grains and foliage plants.
Oats and barley were grown at Sitka
and Skaguay with gratifying results.
Several varieties of Norwegian and
Russian barley We're grown with the
same excellent result as with the oats.
OF forage plants there were seeded
several varieties of Norwegian Clover,

"a curious thing happened here to-
day." said the head clerk at one of the
leading hotels in New Orleans to
Times Democrat man. About month
ago a gentleman and his wife, from
Milwaukee, spent couple of days In
the house, and on leaving the lady
missed a valuable ring. She was posi-
tive she left it on the dresser and equal
ly positive it had been stolen by one of
the servants. We set an investigation
on foot and promised to forward the
RUG If found. A little later the hus-
band wrote to inquire whether the
search had been successful, and when
we replied in the negative he notified us
that he proposed to sue the hotel. He
claimed we had shown great negligence
in not arresting a suspected employe,
and his comments were bitter in the
extreme. That was two weeks ago.
Now here Is the sequel in the shape

to say, that is the first time In the his

taking his departure, and blunders Of
that kind are of almost weekly occur

'It Is the commonest thing in the
world at all hotels for persons to go

The Federal Department of Agricul-

Along the Alaskan coast the soil is
capable of producing grain, vegetables,
small fruits and forage plants of as
good quality and in as great abun-

Cattle were introduced in Alaska
long ago by the Russians in their varl-
Gus settlements, and, according to re-
ports, they always did well. Professor
Georgeson reports that the cattle now
found at the little towns along the
coast thrive and appear to have be-
come well adapted to the climate. This
excellent condition, Prof. Georgeson
says, is evidence Of the nutritious quail
tiles of the indigenous grasses.
The soils of Alaska are largely Of

resemble the black earth of rice lands

Home of the Edam cheese "a


While the Edam cheese is a familiar
visitor on the table, not every one
knows whence it comes nor how its
cannon ball proportions and gay color
ing have been achieved. The northern
part of Holland Is the seat of the Edam
cheese Industry, and the consequent
cleanliness of the relish Is therefore
doubly assured. In making it the fresh
cows milk Is carefully strained and the
renet added. AS soon as the milk cur
dies the whey Is drawn off and the
curd, thoroughly kneaded, Is pressed
into molds. This process Is repeated
until the whey has all been extracted
and the curd Is comparatively dry. 1t
Is then wrapped In linen cloth and
kept for ten or twelve days until quite
solid. Then the cloth Is removed and
the cheese put into salt lye. Afterward
little more dry salt Is sprinked on the
cheese, until the maker thinks it is salt
enough to insure its keeping. 1t is next
put into vessel and washed with
whey and scraped to remove the white
crust. 1t is next carried into a cool
room and laid on shelves, where 1t Is
frequently turned. The ripenlng proc
ess lasts from two to three months, the
round balls growing the fine yellow or
reddish color peculiar to Edam cheese.
The cheeses intended to be exported
to this country are rendered still more
brilliant by dyeing the rlnd with veg
etable dye.-New York Tribune.
