Chenille viii be freely worn in
fringes.
Lace Of the same color as the gown,
set in, forms one OF the most exclusive
trimming ideas OF the season.
a corded white silk purse covered
with duchesse lace and mounted with
gold makes a charming bridal gift.
Green and black is a favorite com
bination and a number of the new ma.
terials are woven in these two colors.
Reproduction of rings that were
worn in the days of the third George
are included among the seasons de.
signs.
Dragon flies, butterflies and hum.
ming birds represent some new effects
in hair ornaments that are pretty as
well as inexpensive.
Horizontal effects are much more
preferred this season for skirt garni
ture than the up-and-down styles. This
applies particularly 10 tucks.
Collars Of guipure with stole ends
caught together with bows Of chiffon
are worn with many Of the smartest OF
the new blouses in crepe de chine and
fancy silk.
Many tails arc offered for the mod.
ish long boas, as the tails must hang
down the centre Of the back as well
as at the waist and others arc required
to finish the ends.
Velvet for street dresses is among
the eXtrayagant ideas of the day.
Brown in the very darkest of hues is
trimmed with a wooden lace of the
same shade, upon n silk lining that
shows through the wide meshes.
The very newest of the new is the
pleated skirt-a pretty old fashion re.
vived. This is arranged in folds round
the hips and at the back, but the front
is still kept fairly plain. This. let me
tell you, IS charming for n smart frock,
but must not be composed of too thick
n material. Tailors adore the new
box-pleated or killed skirt, which they,
mostly put into a plain piece fitted
round the hips.

the convicts Of the penal settlement Of
Saghallen. TO this island only the

Among these are 5000 murderers, but
their brave countrywoman lives there
with them entirely unprotected and,
except for the hospitality of the Off
cials, entirely unmolested. The condi'
tions of the life at the settlement are
such as to dismay the stoutest heart
and blunt the kindliest feeling, and the
keepers are reported as n brutalized

The demand for railway ties win
cause demand for some substitute
for wood within the next few years,
unless some method be adopted which
will replace the already depleted sup.
ply OF timber suitable for this purpose.
White oak, the standard wood for ties,
Is too slow a grower and renews itself
only once in century. As early as
1913 General William Henry Harrison
called attention TO the catalpa tree Of
TIE Wabash Valley as being Of ex.
treme durability. Various railroad
men have since demonstrated the en-.
tire suitability of catalpa wood for ties.
There is great probability Of the es.
iablishment OF catalpa plantations by
some Of the enterprising railroads Of
the country. 1t has been found that,
with good treatment, trees ut twelve
years win make one tie each. At
twenty-five years of age the trees will
yield twelve ties each, or over two
thousand an acre. The seasonal growth
Is about one inch in diameter

NY MOTHER.
rnom THE CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE.

FROM THE CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE.
She gave the best years of her life
With JOY for me,
And robbed herself, with loving heart
Unstintingly.
For me with willing hands she toled
From day to day
For me she prayed when headstrong youth
Would have its way.
Her gentle arms, my cradle once,
Are weary now;
And time has set the seal of care
Upon her brow.
And though no other eyes than mine
Their meaning trace,
| read my history in the lines
On her dear face.
And, mid His gems, who showers gifts
As shining sands.
/ count her days as pearls that fall
From His kind hands.

Farming Mud.

Nowadays everything that will burn
is interesting. A fuel works at Stang.
liOrden, in Norway, where peat is
made into a useful fuel, should be OF
especial interest TO Massachusetts,
which is said to be talking Of opening
up its extensive peat beds. The fac
tory at Stanghorden is run by eleC-
tricity generated by water power, anu
has been in operation since 1S9S The
chief difficulty in manufacturing fuel
from peat is getting rid of the water
with which it is always soaked. About
eighty-fye per cent by bulk is water,
and practically all of this must be re-
moved before n satisfactory fuel is
obtained. At Stangiiorden the wet
peat is brought TO the factory in boats,
from which it is removed by electric
cOnyeyers and submitted to a prelim-
mary rough drying and pressing. The
briquettes thus formed are placed in
chambers, through which warm, dry
air is driven, and are finally splaced in
electrically heated retorts, where the
drying is completed
The peat yields, besides these bri-
quotes, tar, charcoal. creosote, sui
phate Of ammonia and other by prod.
ucts. The electric power is obtained
from five eighty-kilowatt dynamos.
The plant is capable of turning out
1000 centners "a centner IS about 10
pounds) Of air-dried peat a day. The
fuel is said to burn well, yields little
scot or ash and is really salablc in Ber.
gen and other towns.

that morning was to laugh. His last

in his paper for suburban property for

picked up the letters and opened one
in Middleton's handwriting.

ing company as it was uni

lay chiefly on its sumptuouSly litho-
graphed letter head Abers. the Presi-
dent, would have preferred to have the
name Inter-S,ellar Trading Company,
but, as Abers sometimes sadly ad-
mitted to himself, the present age is
far behind the times.
Abers was a nervous little red-headed
chap. He believed implicitly in Abers.
His religion was that the world owed
him a living
Any one entering the Office of the
Universal Trading Company immedl-
ately found himself wcdged between
the office door and a frosted glass par
titlon. This partition had little Sits or
openings in it, labelled respectively
Letters" Gables and kilograms"
Cashier and "Bookkeeper." This was
all that the public was allowed to con-
template. On the other side of the
glass was the letter clerk. the stcnOg-
rapher, the telegram and cable clerk,
the cashier and the bookkeeper. His
name was Middleton. and naturally he
was a melancholy young man. Mid
dleton's work was to keep one eye on
the four Sits in the glass, and the
other eye on Abers. This latter eye
was so buslly employed that it had ac-
qulred a slight cast.
The word melancholy used above as
describing Middleton is used reserved
ly, and merely serves the purpose of
expressing a condition OF thought.
Abers had the blues, If such an eX-
preston may be used regarding a red
headed man. Business was bad. All
that he had was his original capital of
$4,000, and now this was threatened.
If he only had $4,000 more This
sum would mean an income Of $500 a
year Abers often thought that with
this income a man could buy a sub
ruban place somewhere. run for
Mayor, parry rich widow, and there
you are! His present game was to
get that other $4,000
He found the game stiff one. par

He would have preferred a game more
similar TO golf, for instance, where in
exasperating moments there is always

hopeful political statistician the blues.

impressed upon Middleton the fact that
he had never been to the theatre in
his life.
Abers took great interest in the show
He laughed uproariously. There was
only one laugh in the house more ro-
bust than his. and Abers noted with
pride that that was box laugh. He
glanced up at the box with a smile. but

was very evidently supremely pleased
that he was alive.
Abers shivered. "Say. now" he re-

him and he went back TO the office.
After an examination of the books the
blues deserted him, and what might
be called the, ,yellows set in.
