out of whose kaleidoscope emotions brings

Stingless Bees.-A race of bees has
been brought to this country-as an ex-
pertinent by the United States govern
ment-that has been found the gentlest
in the world, says the September Country
Life in America The one great draw
back to beekeeping for most people has
been the fear of stings, but recent ex-
periments at Washington, D. c., have
proved the Caucasian bees to be the most
remarkable bees in existence for their
gentleness. We do not mean by this that
the bees are stingless, for they possess
but so seldom do they resort to its use
non stinging.

Forestry's Practical vaIue.-In read
able illustrated article on the Forestry
Service in The Outook's September mag
azine number, R. L. Black points out the
folly of neglecting the science Of forestry.
In America the time has come for the practice
of forestry. While once the butt-log of virgin
timber only was worth the cost of cutting now
an equal price per foot is paid for second
growth. Twenty years ago black walnut was
split for fence-rails in Ohio; within few
years manufacturers were sending agents among
the farmers offering wire fence to sreplace these
same rails White pine is being shipped to
Marie, the sPine Tree State''-coals brought
to wasteful Newcastle. With the growth of
industries, the consumption has increased enor-
mously. At the same time the supply is fail
ing. Yearly the lunberman leaves vast ''bar-
rens' behind him, and yearly the fire that fol-
lumber. AS the stumpage price-the value of
standing timber-rises and the consumer pays
proportionately, a wiser policy must obtain, and
the forester begin his needed work. In Europe
this stage when demand far exceeded supply,
and this outcome, are long since past. In
America, however, forestry has but recently
risen from the peonage of an unaccepted theory
to the dignity of a profession. -. =. r.. i

Whatever makes for the greatest eff
fciency and insures the largest range
of influence is certain to command the
interest and enlist the sympathy and
support Of people to-day. The lesson
of combination and unification has first
been learned by the secular and bust
ness world, but the Christian church,
observant and progressive, and catch
ing the spirit Of the age, is learning
the lesson, too, and what would have
been impossible 100 or even 80 years
ago, now seems possible, nay even
probable to-day, and that is the con-
decorating of all the churches of the
land for definite lines of service, with
the question Of UNCONVENTIONAL creeds
and doctrines left out The spirit OF
cooperation between the different
Protestant denominations of this coun-
try has been growing for years. They
are coming more and more to realize
the oneness of their aim as followers
of Christ and the common obligation
which they owe the world in seeking
its redemption.
That this is true most markedly is
proven by the fact that 26 different
Protestant denominations of the Unit

Every woman, no matter how indo-
lent and disinclined to exercise, should
have at least one costume able to with
stand blustery weather; for it is the
far exception indeed that will find no
use for such an outfit. Perhaps most
important of all are the shoes, which
should not be too stiff and mannish,
but have good, reliable heels and SEN
sible soles. Overshoes are not worn
so much as formerly, which means
ones walking shoes are much better
than formerly, more nearly waterproof.
The dress material should be of good
enough wool to stand a lot. of wetting;
some ladies have the goods for the
utility frock waterpoofed before it is
made up. There should be no trim
ming that would be ruined from a lit
tie wetting, and the hat must be of
this same durability. But above all
things, do not go in for SLOUGH hat
Of cheap sort, something that will
make you look like a tramp or a Bow
cry girl Good outing hats cost money,
but they pay in the long run. When
the dampness has taken all the wave
out of your hair, you want to feel that
your hat is all right anyway. And this
year there are extremely good outing
hats offered, the trimming reduced to
the simplest terms.
The strictly tailored waist has re-
turned to favor, and the faithfulness
of woman toward this article of dress
should be one argument against the
folk that nominate her ficRle, ever
running after novelty. The plain shirt
waists vary little in style, there can
not be great deal of latitude because
what makes for their popularity is
their simplicity. Plaits may be a lit
tie wider this year, sleeves a little
smaller, but one notices small differ
ence between the styles of this and
the year before.
The plaid waist here pictured is a
favorite; it is fashioned with a yoke,
the sleeves are Of moderate size, stitch
ing and buttons the only trimming.
The stock for a waist of this sort may
be a turned-over linen with small
black tie, or black taffeta stock with
scrim turnover collar. Lace has no
place on waist Of this sort, should
be reserved for dressier demands.
There are face veiIs that stand an

part of the dress. Buttons are largely
used for ornamentation, a revival of
the styles of an older day. Metallic
effects are in evidence and are very
attractive when there is not too much
glitter. Yesterday we noticed very
pretty green costume, the skirt of a
bronze mixture, the waist pongee of
subdued green. The latter was made
with a chemisette which was broad
at the neck and tapered quite fine at
the belt, and consisted of many little
frills of lace. The waist had inch
wide perpendicular tucks at the Shout
ders, the lines were long and simple.
Clusters of small metallic buttons out
lined the edge where the green met the
white lace vest. The green buttons
now on display in the shops are very
handsome; rhinestones are used, but
personally We do not care for them.
The subject of shoes we have not
touched on lately; and it is subject
that deserves mention, for there are
decided changes noticeable. Colored
and black cloth tops will be fashion
able, and buttoned shoes worn as they
have not been in long time. Vamps
are not so long as formerly; few
French heels will be seen. The but
tons on shoes seem enormous, only a
few are now used. Some ladies take
their own cloth to the shoemakers,
have the gown matched exactly by the
cloth uppers. 1t seems passing odd
that for evening slippers black should
be considered most exclusive when
street gowns require colored cloth tops,
but this is the tendency at the best
places. Black slippers sparkle with
tiny jet beads, white ones are embroi-
dered in little pearls. Huge ribbon
bows are used whenever possible,
vamps are short to display the elabo-
rate stockings. French heels are al
ways the sort for the evening slipper;
it is from street shoes this exaggerated
heel Is now banished.

in st. Paul are natives of the state.
Twenty-eight and four ffths per cent
are foreign born. The remainder, 81

native white labor. New England
now is the region called upon to adapt
itself to change.
Constantly her transportation ia
cilities are extending; coast and river
navigation being improved, railroads
developing. The south has now about
$4,000 miles of railway. New mill
villages spring up all over the land.
Though we hear much of the poor pay
received by the mill operatives, we
must, ere we picture a state Of alb
Sect poverty, take into consideration
the fact that almost all of the neces-
saries of life are to be had in the
south at a much lower price than in
the north. The tenement system of
the north is practically unknown
down there, each family lives by it
self, about the cottage has a bit OF
ground where much of the living may
be raised at practically no outlay Of
money. The mill companies often
getting their ground for nothing, the
former owners glad to favor the val
liable new industry, can afford to pro-
vide the half acre about the cottage
of the tenant mill worker. AS rule,
the mill towns are laid out with care
for the comfort of the residents, with
attention to hygienic conditions.
The great iron fields of the southern
Appalachian system have been opened
up. The growth of this industry was
marked as early as 1890, which year

The northerner making a flying trip
through the south, getting his impress
sions very largely from what he is able
toview from car window, is apt to give
the country an i'll name, judge it
worn and poverty-stricken." He
should, ere he dilate on superficial i'm
pressions, get at facts. We call to
his attention an editorial in the Chi
cago Record-Herald:
Reference has been made in these
columns to the leadership of our
southern states in the production of
cotton, and it is not surprising to find
the Manufacturers Record, of Baltf-
more, regarding the export figures of
the past fiscal year with complacency.
Among exports exclusively from the
south it includes: Cotton, 1919 1866, OLA;
cottonseed oil, SIS, 1902; cottonseed
cake and meal, $13,S97,17S naval
stores, $16,1O6,643; phosphates, $685.
274. This makes total of $451 $780,
OIL, and that alone was nearly one
third of all our domestic exports. But,
besides the articles named, the south
exports other products which it raises
manufacturers in comomn with other
parts of the eountry-timber, tobacco,
petroleum, cotton goods, provisions,
grain, coal, cattle, fruits, iron and steel,
wood manufactures, leather-and its
share of such exports is roughly esti-
mated at $3.50, 0oO,0 Hence total of
$614 1900, 900, or Al per cent. of the
value of all the exports of the country.
"The figures prove the wealth of
southern fields, and unquestionably
