tions, and gave to the forester OF the
department of agriculture, Mr.. 3lHoro
Pinchot, power to reserve per cent oi
the pine timber for seed trees ana TO

over a year, Mr.. Eugene Bruce lum-
herman of the bureau of forestry, mas
been working on the reservation, Sc
lecting the reserved areas, Studying
the timber and logging condltlons, anu
framing the regulations for cutting
These regulations will to certain ex-
tent modify the usual conditions OF
logging, and if their purpose and the
spirit in which they will de enforced
is not clearly understood, lower prices
on the timber might result. The for
estry association therefore offered the
bureau an opportunity to send MIR.
Bruce to the Minneapolis meeting to
deliver paper on this subject, and
this will be done.

agriculture, and president of the asso-
citation, will be present and address a

A few women can wear flame color
with great distinction; others merely
look insignificant and swallowed up
in such hue.
How important is this question of
color! 1 am thankful to see that it is
becoming better understood every sea-
son in this country. AS rUle-mind.
there are eXceptions-but as a rule
glaring contrasts in color are q mis-
take. Weird beauties generally look
their best in white, pale gray, and
ethereal garments of all sorts. A
more buxom form of Beauty can have
her looks greatly enhanced by appro-
pirate settings; she can carry flame
color or ruby shades, costly lace and
great deal of jewelry to advantage,
whereas the ethereal type. as l have
said, looks her best in pale draperies
with queer old-world ornaments. AS
matter of fact, the clothes of a
beautiful woman should be the en-
bodiment of her whole personality. In
this case, simple frock may be worn
with meaning which doubles it's in
trinsic value.
Now a few words to the debutante
who watns to become the possessor of
two or three really good frocks at
moderate cost. A charming model was
in the very palest shade of pink chif-
fon over soft satin of little deeper
tone. There was much frou-frou round
the feet, and the skirt was inserted
from the waist downwards with fine
blond lace. The bodice was prettily
pouched over swathed waistband,
finished with full berthe of Killed
chiffon and lace, the short sleeves
showing frills of the chiffon. This
gown would look equally effective In

Substitute for Marble.

Kasota or Mankato limestone has
been discovered to be capable of TAX
ing high polish, rendering it in APP
pearance similar to the Italian mar
bles for interior finish. This limestone
has been recognized as capable of pro-
ducing a splendid appearance when
cat for ornamental purposes, as exem-
plitied in the new Ramsey county Jail.
1t has remained, however, for the
capitol commission to discover that the
stone can be polished for interior fin
ishing.
A large plaster of polished Mankato
limestone has been put up in the main
corridor of the new capitol. The stone
can be procured in variety of colors,

- HERE is one occasion on
NA which we can all be grace
X1H " full, and that is in the even
AWWX ing. The short skirt, we
sH know, is not graceful. On
neat, trim figure, and
showing pretty feet, it may look very
well; but the clinging draperies which
fashion DEGREES should be worn on
smart occasions, and above all in the
evening, lend themselves to really
graceful lines, especially as our best
modes are culled from the fashions of
bygone days.
Our evening skirts are trimmed with
any amount of frills and furbelows, for
the authorities both in Paris and Lon
don decree that, although they may
be serpent-like from the waist to the
knees, our skirts must absolutely
stand alone, and possess that mysteri-
GUS, delicious frou-frou of lace, soft
silk and chiffon. The achievement of
this necessitates great deal of full
ness at the feet. Satins. chiffons, lace
and diaphanous fabrics of every kind
seem to me ideal for evening frocks.
There is a great fancy for mixing
colors for evening wear. Thus an &C
contemplated underskirt of palest
green Is yelled with layer of pale
gray chiffon, covered sparingly with
paillettes, with an overdress of d'Alen-
con lace, and touch of vieux rose

finished with spray of La France
roses. A hundred and one costly trif1es
may go to compose the ideal evening
frock. Nearly all the bodices show the
long dropping effect, which can be so
easily secured by means of fichu-like
scarves of lace and chiffon.
should say the day of the Jet frock
is somewhat passe, though it may be
revived at any moment; it is one of
those things about which we can never
be quite sure.
For hot summer evenings lace and
chiffon are unrivaled materials, and
there is a new make OF satin, in pale
shades, trimmed with bouillons of
chiffon, which makes an ideal evening
frock. White is very much in vogue,
perhaps because there are so many
debutantes. A real pearl white is pre-
ferred to the ivory tones. Pale green
and vieux rose still hold their own.
Orange is a very favorite shade with
the woman of maturer charms; but it
should only be worn by those who

State Gets Money.

The state treasury received cheek
for SIS, 622. "a from the United States
war department to reimburse Minneso-
ia for expenses incurred in equipping
volunteers for the Spanish-American
war. This is one of several claims
which the state has against the gov
eminent, aggregating $199,619.
Notwithstanding reports from Wash
ington that Ss4, 119 of this amount had
been disallowed, State Auditor S. G.
Iverson believes that Minnesota will be
reimbursed to the full amount of the
expenditures for this purpose. Mr..
Iverson says that it may require an act
of congress, but that eventually the
money will be forthcoming.

To those who were his companions
and associates during one of the great

answering devotion to our govern
ment and the principles upon which it
was established and has been main
tanned is essential to the efficiency OF
the national forces, and especially is
this so in a democratic government
where the individual, in order to be a
perfect soldier, must first be true citi-
zen.
Many Responsibilities.
Since it's organization the army has
been charged with a great variety of
responsibilities, all subordinate to de-
Tending the country and maintaining
the rights of it's citizens. In the dis
charge of its manifold duties the army
has confronted enemies representing
every stage of human development from
the highest civilization yet obtained TO
savagery and barbarism. 1t has ever
been it's duty to observe in war those
chivalric and humane principles by
which inevitable horrors are so greatly
mitigated, while by unyielding prose-
cution of warfare against armed forces
its valor has been demonstrated.
New Obligations.
The events of recent years have placed
upon the army a new obligation and an
opportunity for a broader exemplifica-
ton of it's country's principles. The
United States army is now brought into
daily communication with millions of
people to whom its individual men,
bers of every grade are the opponents
Of American civilization. A serious
duty and a great honor are now pre-
sented to every officer and soldier, name
", to exemplify to those with whom
he comes in contact our country's prin-
ciples of equal and exact justice, i'm
munity from violence, equality before
the law, and the peaceful use and pos
session of his own.
Has Faith in the Army.
Marked changes at different times
have occurred in the strength and or
ganization of the army, resulting from
diverse influences, and various expert
ments have been tried. Time has rec
titled errors in the past and will do so
in the future.
The lieutenant general has faith that
under all circumstances the army will
maintain it's high character, and that
Its future will be as honorable and glo-
sious as has been its history in the past.
His earnest solicitude and best wishes
will ever follow the fortunes of the
army.

Royal society and the Royal Geograph-
ical society On the ninth of the follow
ing February our ship finally came to
anchor at the foot of Mount Erebus, in
MacMurdo strait. On arriving at these
winter quarters, immediate steps were
taken for the main work of observations.
All branches of science were to be in
vestigated, one of the most important
of which was the magnetic work. Other
branches of biology, ornithology, geol-
ogy and meteorology were also studied.
But the pursuit of these important in
vestigations did not occupy all the time,
and there were many hours which, shut
in on shipboard as we were, must be
filled up with such means of recreation
as our ingenuity might devise. What
we did during the long polar night may
be Of interest. On April % the sun left
us for 121 days, but want particularly
to say here that the monotony, the dark
ness and all the horrors associated with
polar winter seemed to find no place
with us. There was work to be done
the whole time; the bonnie camaraderie

Board of Engineers appointed by the Secretary
Of War is IN session In Kansas City preparing plan
for the prevention or control of floods, the details
of which will be incorporated in a report. The prin-
cpal purpose is totdeyise a7system of eyees which
viii protect the low-lying business district known
as the West Bottoms from future Kansas and Mis-
souri, river foods
The losses occasioned at the mouth of the Kaw
last June reached total of S20,000.O0O. Railroad
service on many OF tire most important railroads
was absolutely crippled, a condition which meant
serious commercial disadvantage in almost every
section of the country.
The necessity for active steps toward preventing
the recurrence of the disaster is apparent. The
proposition commends itself to the intelligence of
every resident of the Middle West Only in the de-
tails of procedure upon the claims of various
calities may issue be taken.
East St Louis and the manufacturing interests
scattered through Granite City, Madison and Venice
arc inenaced constantly by such overflow that

tial and Government aid in the construction of an
ample system of dkes should be given.
These are the two districts Of this section of the
country In which the greatest values are involved.
The claim of the is legitimate as the claim Of
the other. In both extensive interests and.
working in harmony, they could bring pressure
TO bear which would force Congress to take cogni-
zance Of the situation and to appropriate the needed
funds. 1t is to be hoped that they will recognize
that theirs is common purpose and join hands.

with a gigantic scheme In view Of dking in and
deepening the channels of all the Mississippi Valley
waterways. 1t is time that such scheme were
assuming concrete shape and that beginning were
made upon the actual work. OF course, protection
from floods is the immediate necessity; but it may
lie done in such manner to be part of the greater
object Of deep-water engineering.
