And on the whole We see really eXquis-
tie productions.
l think all are agreed on one point
and this is. that faced cloth holds a
foremost place on the list of fashion
able materials. A week ago at the
races there were still few summary
fabrics to be seen, but light, fine faced
cloths struck the real note of autumn.
Many of these cloths are unlined, and
fall by the weight of their folds; but
such a tremendous amount of stuff is
put into some skirts that it is neces-
sary to use cloths of the lightest tex
ture. The many pleatings, tuckings
and ruchings used on these cloth
dresses are specimens of fine hand
stitchery; if they were not very we'll
arranged they would be clumsy in the
extreme.
Velvet and soft chenille balls and silk
buttons are among the favorite trim
mings and dainty little taffeta en-
broideries are used for waistcoats as

Lost in the Woods.

After spending four days and four
nights in the woods, without food and
sufficient clothing to protect his body
from cold, D. j. McPhee, former en-
ployee of the Duluth & Iron Range
railroad, arrived at Highland near
midnight, in state of utter collapse.
He was without shoes or any covering
for his feet which were badly cut and
bruised and swollen to about twice
their natural size.
McPhee said he started to walk from
Two Harbors to Duluth, and became
lost and wandered around in the woods
and sleeping on the wet ground. He
was taken care of by the authorities
and with proper nourishment will re-
cover

To revert to the illustration in the
hat l am one of the pretty and popu-
lar simple shapes which do admirably
for many occasions. This hat, which
is in pale French gray felt, shows the
new high crown, and is mounted on a
deep velvet bandeau, which is not,
however, visible. 1t is trimmed with
soft taffeta ribbon, arranged in loops,
and an extraordinarily chic note is
struck by cluster of velvet grapes.
The arrangement of this ribbon does
equally well on straw as on felt, but
it is too late to purchase stIaws now,
and l only suggest it for doing up an
old hat. The hat sketched is pretty
and becoming, and its simple lines de-
note good taste.
The blouse shows a pretty and
modish design made up in green velvet.

Win Grand Prize.

Minnesota has won the grand Prize
at the St Louis exposition for it's ele-
mentary educational exhibits and the
gold medal for the secondary educa-
tional exhibit.
The facts were announced in tele-
gram received by Condo Hamlin, presi-
dent of the Minnesota board of COM
missioners, and show the high standard
of excellence which was reached in the
Minnesota exhibit
Since the beginning of the exposition
Minnesota has captured all the highest
awards every month in the dairy di-
vision, and has carried off many other
high premiums for other exhibits.

Dangerous Compound s.

The state dairy and food commission
has issued a proclamation, cautioning
housekeepers to beware of canning
compound which is found in canned
fruit and vegetables
This step was taken as the result of
inquiries to the number of about fifty a
day, which have been coming into the
office asking the opinion of the depart
ment on the compound.
A careful analysis was made and
this was followed by the proclamation
that the compound was dangerous, con.
tanning only starch and borax, which
is harmful to the stomach The COM

1t is lamentably cheap in itself.

tall astrakan fur hats and high boots.
The bulk of the men, however, both in
fantry and cavalry, wear the white jack
cts and caps which form the characters
tic attire of the Russian army in sum-
mertime. These Guards regiments are
regarded as the smartest branch of the
service, and their officers are mostly men
of wealth and high social standing. Each
regiment is commanded, not by colonel
as is the case with the Others, but by a
general.
AT the cavalry school, besides the
Guards officers, there are officers from
all parts of the empire, who come here
for special training in riding, fencing,
tactics, etc. We see Withholding Cir
cassians in strange uniforms, and small
eyed Mongolians from Eastern Siberia,
he bnobbing with smart young Guards
men, the fine-fleur of Russian society.
The Russian army certainly has this adj
vantage over many other European
armies: that mans race is no bar to
his unless, of course, he
is Jew, in which case he would not be
admitted as an officer.
Ii We take walk along the road skirt
ing the wood, with its endless lines of
tents, we see the Russian soldier at
home. AS the camp is a permanent one
and the troops come here every sum-
mer, earthwork emplacementS are built
up for the tents, so as to make the space
inside little higher. Wooden boards
are placed on the ground to keep out the
lamp, as otherwise camping out for any
length of time would be impossible in
this climate; there are also wooden
doors to the tents. The Russian soldier
does not try to make himself at all COM
Portable in his tent; but then no Rus
sian ever does trouble himself about
comfort in the American sense of the
word. He just lives anyhow" with
everything chucked on the floor-cloth-
ing, linen, cooking utensils-all in a
heap. His life is very hard one; his
term of service is longer than that of
any other continental soldier, e., five
years; his food is bad, and the treatment
he receives at the hands of his officers
is often brutal in the extreme But he
manages to keep up certain cheerful
ness, and he often beguiles the tedium
of long and weary march by singing
the plaintive but fascinating songs of
the Russian people.
In another part of the camp we see
him at play. He is fond of gymnastics
and of the game of giant strides" which
consists of swinging round a pole by
means of rope. He is very handy with
his fingers, as, indeed, most Russian
peasants are. The Russian mujik, shut
up for months at time in winter in his
little izba (cottage) with nothing to do.
and only himself to depend on for his
needs, learns to make all sorts of things
baskets, furniture, ornaments, toys.
household utensils, etc. This faculty
stands the soldier in good stead, for he
can provide most of the things required

the modes in vogue many years ago.
Sleeves alone offer immense food for
reflection. A year ago we tried very
hard, without much success, to keep
them voluminous, now, apparently, we
are going to the other extreme and are
adopting the short shoulder instead of
the long one, and curiously narrow
effect instead of wide, dropping effect
across the chest. 1t is not, however,
compulsory to adhere faithfully to de-
tails of this sort, for they always bear
alteration.
Early models are generally more or
less exaggerated and are toned down
with good effect afterwards. But at
the moment several features strike us.
First the short shoulder I have al
ready mentioned, then the long three
quarter coat of various periods, the
Directoire coat, the early Victorian red
ingote, the sleeveless jacket, the very
full skirt and the velvet trimmings of
the early Victorian era. For evening
wear we see again the Louis XVI.

Heavy Grain Receipts.

1t is estimated that grain to the
amount of more than 81, 600, 900 was
handled on the Minneapolis market in
one day, and, for instance the day is
said to be one of the biggest, if not the
biggest in the history of the Minnea-
polls chamber.
The total number of cars involved
was 1,4OO, as compared with 1873 for
Monday of week before. The grain re-
ceipts for the 3rd were as follows:
Wheat, 1904 cars; corn, 8; oats, 26O;
rye, %; barley, 213, and flax, 90.

Too Bad.

In response to emphatic demands
from the northwest that the historic
round tower at Fort Smelling be pre-.
served, the government has plastered
the structure three inches thick all
over with ugly gray stucco This pre-
serves it effectually and also makes it
look about as attractive and historic as
an oil tank. The Ivy which combined
with the original rough limestone of
the building to give it romantic and
venerable aspect, has been torn down,
and hardwood floors, electric lights and
plate-glass windows destroy the last
vestige of age.

volunteered for active service. That
they have not been more successful
against the Japanese is due to the fact
that most of Kuropatkin's force has
consisted of Siberian recruits, whose
training is much less matter of care
to the war Office authorities than that
given to the European regiments Also,
although the physique of the men and
the officers in the Russian army receives
attention at Krasnoe Selo, there is COM
paratively little trouble taken in teach
ing strategy and tactics, and, most i'm
portant, in the essential work of trans
port and supply.

over the SweGes is now used
as the summer training ground for the
garrison of st. Petersburg. Every sum-
mer some 10000 troops take up their
quarters at Krasnoe Selo, and the miles
of white tents and the continual move
ments of white-coated soldiers form a
most attractive picture. The spot itself,
too. is pleasant one, for the ground oc-
cupied by the camp includes several
well-wooded hills and two lakes; while
the neighboring villages, inhabited by
Finnish population, are also pictur-
esque and interesting
KraSnoe Selo is reached by rail from
st. Petersburg in about three-quarters
of an hour. The military character of
the place is attested by the large number
of officers in full uniform with whom the
train is filled. At the handsome station
of krasnoe Selo we notice a symptom of
the far eastern war in the long rows of
goods vans labeled "Kitaisky Vostochny

for the dispatch of troops and stores to
Manchuria. A little beyond Krasnoe
