Members of the Greek church OF Rus.
sia, where images are Forbidden, have
resorted to what an unfriendly critic
has described as an ingenious evasion
of an ecclesiastical prohibition. They
do not carve a figure out Of marble
or shape it In bronze, but they paint
the face, hands and perhaps the feet
of a saint on wood and form the robes
by means of metal work In relief. The
nimbus of the saint Is not infrequently
enameled and in some cases the drap-
cry is studded with precious stones
but bejeweled icons of any real value
are not. as a rule, to be found in
churches. though sometimes images
are covered with glass to protect them
from the kisses of those who come to
pray before them.
In the seventeenth century there
was great demand in Russia for port
able icons, especially from members
of sect known as the old believers,
who, as they were under the ban Of a
prosecuting government. wished for
icons that they could carry about and
conceal with ease. Only Russian pa

CULTIVATION OF CHINA GRASS.
Profitable Crop for Southern Part Of
United States.

ONlACO states.
China grass is the old name for
ramie, a fiber much resembling hemp,
1t is the strongest of the fibers from
which textiles are made; it is as fine,
as fax, as lustrous as jute, and is in.
an exceptional degree unaffected by
moisture. Grass cloth of great
beauty is made from it in China and
Japan.
In recent years the use Of ramie,
as il is always called in commerce. has
been making progress in Europe and
America. In the United States i'm.
port statistics it has not yet risen to
the dignity Of separate mention, but
the British Commercial Intelligence
gives some facts about its use on the
continent of Europe Germanys i'm
ports of it have risen to $4,000 a
year while France takes from $4,000
to 100000 Of ii. The French ramie
mills have 5000 spindles.
The interest of America in ramie
lies largely in the fact that the south
eru part Of the United States, Mexico,
Central America and the northern part
Cf South America are excellently
adapted to raising it. In Mexico ex-
uarimenrs in its culture have been
especially successful. both as regards
yield and quality. 1t is a crop worth
watching because Of it's excellent pros
poets for future development.
