the country must have what it wants
in the way of currency, and when this
old money is sent in for redemption
it is not wise to delay getting out the
new money to replace it.
"The national banks of the country
are increasing their circulation at a
remarkable rate. During this last year
this increase has been about S60,O00,oOO,
and many of the banks have had to
wait much longer than prudent to OBJ
tain their circulation. These delays
tie up the circulating medium. There
were recently 11S banks on the list
waiting for new currency. This IN
creased growth of the circulation out

the normal growth of the country"

Corn, we'll planted and cultivated, is

almost necessary to a proper rotation.
The average of the Virginia crop is
$11.55 per acre; in Illinois, which has
much richer soil, the value is $11.59
and much of the corn yield in Virginia
is pitably small. There are thousands

Orange Tree Foe.

The Department of Agriculture has
received a report from an agent in
Mexico stating that in six and perhaps
more states in Mexico he has found
traces of the orange maggot, which is
a dreaded foe of oranges, and it is
feared that this condition might per-
nit of its entry into California.
The Mexicans in attempting to Grad

The multiplication of the orange mag

some form, and with the desire to en-
tighten the Russian prisoners, the gov
erment of Japan established in the
prison at Himeju a school wherein
was taught to the illiterate Russians
their own language. Strange as this
may seem this fact has been brought
out by a short article in the Japan
Daily Times in which appears the
statement: "Thanks to the teaching,
those soldiers who were totally litter
ate are now able to write letters to
their homes. It is stated that the
authorities of the quarters received
inquiries from Russia asking if the
letters were really written by the

This, one of the most unusual events
ever produced by war, is as much to
Japan's credit. as it is valuable to
the poor Russian peasantry. The
Kobe Daily News has been issuing
an illustrated weekly for the Russian
prisoners. The first issue of the sheet
called Japan and Russia contained
over twenty excellent Photographic
Illustrations. This paper in introduc-
ing itself stated that its objecb was
"to keep the 10000 Russian prisoners
now in this country informed about
the general situation at the front and

connection with the war, as well as

What some call blurred plaids and
checks are really very lovely and come
in finest materials. A gray that was
almost green was combined with or
ange and showed occasional touches OF
pinkish yellow tones The trimming
was white braid and buttons covered
with yellow silk, the waistcoat was OF
white silk Even in voiles we find these
delicate color combinations; delicate
grays blending with soft lavenders,
green and white prettily contrasted,
champagne and pastel-blue. There are
no startling contrasts, the softest tones
are employed.
A great deal of white is introduced in
the costumes of the spring, and all
through the summer white will have
sway. The vogue of chemisettes and
deep cuffs of lace, of wide white collars,
continues, and it is hoped this quaint,
pretty fashion will have long day.
A fashion that is trying to make head

the elbow-sleeve for wool street dresses.

The afternoon gown with elbow
sleeves is an assured success, and there
is reason in this; for gowns for home

The Presidents Vacation.

President Roosevet's vacation Will
consist Of series of different kinds Of
sport, so much desired by hunters and
athletes. L. is generally known that
the president is very fond of outdoor
exercise. such rs riding, hunting. etc.
Therefore, 1t can be expected that he
viii spend most of his vacation IN. the
mountains OF Colorado.
The question is often asked should
the president of this republic expose
himself needlessly in engaging in
sport of dangerous character? 10 be
sure. his life belongs to this marion,
aud he-should take every precaution
imaginable for his protection and
safety. But in this free country
this question must be largely deter
mined by himself Doubtless he will
be as safe in the forest Of Colorado as
in the White House, aud when he re-
turns to the capitol he will sbe the
better prepared to dicharge the duties
of his high office by having had a
change of occupation, giving his mind
a rest for while.
How different is the mode of living
of the president f.this republic.com-
pared with the rulers of Eother
nationsl Here our chief magistrate
walks alone on the street, ahuDts
through the forests, aud .gallops over
the plains. as any Ordinary man would
do. But who would thinkiof thelczar
of Russia being alone in public? 1t
is extremely doubtfnl, if he were so
wreckless to expose himself publicly,
that he would live an @hour before
an assassin Ewould send bullet
through his heart, or kill him by
the explosion of a bomb. But here
in America we ara a fres people.R en-
loving the liberty which a contented
people should enjoy. Let MS. there
fore, uphold the principals OF free
government. rejoicing over the fact
that our president can travel through
out the length and breadth of this
country as private citizen without
fear of molesuation

&A enough for her that can buy
H1LN a suit devoted strictly to
S%0 utility and does not have to
plan to make one costume do
service on various kinds Of occasions.
Checks are a relief from the one tone
cloths, and many shown this season are
very attractive; but as rule they can
not be worn so long as plain goods the
wearer much sooner wearying of the
fancier material.
When it comes to the checked silks
of the season, one must confess they are
unusually pleasing; checks and hair
lines and dots, all of an artistic tumble
of color Checked silks will rival the
shot silks this summer; one dare not
say as yet which will be winner.
The checked woods all come in fine
smooth cloth; no rough surfaces are
SEEN One excellent model is OF gray
lightweight wool with marrow lines of
black marking off checks; the trimming
gives style, pipings of black and white
silk on the jacket, the waistcoat of blue
silk embroidered in pinkish blues and
browns. The skirt is very plain, plated
about the hips.
Another good checked model was a
Panama cloth of green and blue. The
little coat was trimmed with plaitings
of green silk, the green silk waistcoat
was embroidered in blues and greens,
with little touches of black here and
there This suit should be worn with
a green silk petticoat. and bit of style
would be added by parasol of the same
verdant hue.
Checks and plaid have brought the
circular skirt again into favor. And
dressmakers find that the desired flare
is given very well by the circular cut.
The sensible separate walking-skirt will
be of smooth-faced check, and worn with
trim little bolero will make very
fetching utility suit.

dress" means arms and shoulders bare.
A pretty design is here illustrated,
the bodice is made of rose mousseline de
sole, has very full short putfs for sleeves.
the neck Is square both back and front.
The trimming of ruchings and band of
ribbon makes this very effective, and
also it is easily fashioned. One OF the
new embroidered ribbons may be used,
or a velvet ribbon of little deeper rose
than the corsage.
In choosing materials remember that
color by day and the same under an arti-

great man, and that he is president of
