to make big profits out of the necessity
of reducing the old bales size by
second compression, they have come to
believe that cotton is grown in order
that it may be compressed. The farm.
er, however, does not labor early and
late merely to provide fat living for

there because he knows that by having
it put in Roundlap bales the burlap
covering used will cost him about 50
cents per bale less than bagging and ties
and that his cotton not needing to be re.

more than sufficient to pay the baling

A BUSINESS POINT EK.

Several Washington merchants are
afraid to invite the trade OF suburban
people for fear IL migkS offend some
Il their city customers who don't con-
hder it "the proper thing" to be seen
h a store with country people. They
want the cash of country people when
Ehe same can be secured without any
outward sign Of a desire to reach out
Tor it. One of the largest hardware
arms in the city recently refused to
advertise in the columns Of the O1TI-
ZEN and gave the following reason;
"We're not out after suburban busi-
aess for the reason that we consider
the trade Of the people of Virginia and
Maryland not particularly desirable. "
Gustave Hartig, the hardware man OF
500 aud eli II Street, N. E., is OF a
different opinion. He wants the trade
of country people and he is getting it.

"rhe Seat The seap'

We all went one day, says W. J..
Stillman in the Atlantic, to Ooney ISL
aud, on the southern shore OF Long
Island, since a popular bathing place
for New York, but then a solitary
stretch Of seashore, with a few bath
ing boxes and a temporary structure
where bathers might get refreshments.
We drove out in my brothers. buggy,
and as, at turn in the road, l caught
a glimpse of the distant sea horizon, 1
rose in the buggy, shouting, "Che
seal the seal" and, in an uncontrolla-
BILE frenzy, caught the whip from my
brothers hand and slashed the horse
in wild delirium, unconscious OF what
I was doing. The emotion remains
inelfaceable after more than three
score years, one Of the most vivid of
my life. And how ecstatic was the
sensation Of the plunge into the break
ere, holding fast to my mothers hand,
and then the race up the beach be-
fore the next comber, trembling lest
it should catch me, as if it were a liv-
ing thing ready to devour me. They
never come back, these first emotions
of childhood. and though have loved
the sea all my life, have never again
felt the sight of il as then.

Commonplace People.

A woman who entertains a great
deal tells me that she is heart, brain,
nerve and soul weary of clever people,
and she longs to know somebody who
neither writes, sings, recites, toots,
fiddles, nor even has ideas. She even
proposes toast to the stupid people
who do not intrude, and to those who,
while not stupid, often pretend they
are, for the sake of the quiet and
peace they know you will appreciate.
Cleverness runs in families nowadays.
Even the household baby is hauled
out at deadly night hours to do his
little turn, and the grandmother of
the family is clever. All, a rare and
satisfying person to meet is the
family woman who is not clever; who
makes no pretensions to cleverness; /;
who has not prepared a paper on any
OF the burning questions of the hour
For the sake Of the workers in the
great world downtown, let me quaff

RELIGION IN THE rRANsvAAL.

Tho Religious Spirit of the Beers Nours
ished by Study of the Old Testament.
The following article was translated
from the Lutherische Kirchenzeitung
by the Literary Digest: The State
Church of the Trausvaal IS the Dutch
Reformed, and to it belong the greater
portion of the population, fully 3d.
600. The latest statistics accessible
give 1S, 100adherents to other branches
Of the Dutch church, So to the
Episcopal (the figure is now consider
ably higher) 1866 to the Wesleyan
Methodists, 5000 to the Catholics,
and 1900 to other Christian denomina.
tions. These statistics are of the
white population only.
Not only the President, but also the
members Of both legislative branches,
must belong to the Protestant Church.
The meetings Of the Volksraad, or
Parliament, must, according to law,
be opened and closed with prayer
With the exception of few special
kinds of labor, it is strictly forbidden
to do any work on Sunday.
In general, the Beers are character
lied by pronounced traditional piety
of the Reformed type. It is chiefly
nourished by the study of the Old
Testament, especially OF the historical
books, and loves to employ and imi'
tate Old Testament examples and pic
lures. In genuine Boer family the
Bible lies upon the centre table, and
every day is opened and closed with
family prayer. A collection OF ser.
mons is taken along when on a jour.
ney, aud public services are attended
regularly, even if at great sacrifice
and trouble. As the farms are large
aud the people widely scattered, pub
lie services can often be held at irregu-
lar intervals only, as one pastor often
has charge Of hundreds of square
miles of territory. Great interest is
accordingly attached to the regular
quarterly meetings, when not mem
ber of the family, except the sick,
fails to appear. On such occasions
vast multitude of wagons surround
the church, and the celebration of the
lords Supper is frequently followed
by services that last for several days.
The Boer regards himself as specially
honored if the dominic, for whom he
has great respect, visits his house.
Then the neighbors are called in and
public services are held.
The orthodox Beers are divided into
two communions, the Afgeschedene
or Doppers, who in their services
make use of no hymns but the Psalms
and who in general are Of stricter
department than the second sect, who
make use of other hymns. President
Kruger belongs to the Doppers, and
there can be no doubt of his earnest
Christian convictions.

Everyday Expressions That Have the
Support OF tho Bible.


There are many pictorial express
sions IN constant and everyday use,

grand old "King james Version" of

The performance of the night be-

cause of it all.

How women Dress in Siberia.

Common-class women in Siberia
wear shawls or kerchiefs on their
heads, while the rich women wear no
head covering whatever. A traveller
recently returned from that part Of
the world says that a Russian woman
who is otherwise trim and modern in
dress will go about with her hair dis
hevelled to the point of the ludicrous.
Less attention is paid to the head and
feet than to other parts of their
toilet.
''It is odd enough to see them, 3"
says this same writer, "defyiug drip
ping decks and muddy roads in the
thinnest of heelless slippers, while
the breezes play havoc with the loose
tresses of their hair. Their shirt waist

Gsrment. ror Slender women.

Anxious to preserve the slenderness
of their figures, many women will suf
fer actual discomfort, or even risk
great danger to their health from cold,
rather than wear heavy, bulky gar
ments. Shetland underwaists, to be
worn next the redingote, or rather
overdress, are especially designed for
this class of people. These garments
are knitted loosely in pure Shetland
wool. They are exceedingly warm,
though 80 fine and light, and the
waists are made with high neck and
long sleeves. They can be worn un-
der close-fitting bodice without ma
terially increasing the size. They can
be found at any Of the stores which
make a speciality of fine hygiene wool
underwear. They are rather high in
price, but a pair OF these waists mere
ly for outdoor wear will last all win
ter. They can be had in black, white
and gray wools respectively. Rather
than pay the price, many women sub

Cording Is Used on All Accessories.
Cording is more elaborate process
and is now especially in vogue for
yokes, collars, cuffs, belts and revers.
Instead Of the fine or heavy cords
that we're once used in rows between
rows of machine stitching, a slightly
stiff featherboning is used, and put
on with q machine attachment which
keeps the work even and avoids all
pulling. The prettiest Of yokes show
cording in rounding form, lower
in the centre, with a ruching OF NOUS
seline on the edge--a fluffy effect for
one with fat chest. In cOrding the
filler must be of a fair size to show in
distinct ridges, which is the beauty
of all cording.
Sewing on button seems a simple
task, but 1t is one which many women
do in wrong way. A button used as
q trimming needs but few stitches,
as il is simply tackled on, while one
used as fastener needs strength aud
loose stitches enduringly put in. No
button fastens we'll that is sewed
closely to the dress. Use twist, and
wax it so that few stitches will suf-
fee. Do not sew on button SO that
the stitches disfigure the lining A
tailor puts his stitches through the
upper cloth only, pointing the needle
back and forth, not up and down--a
process which is easily learned. A
button is either for use or ornament.
