A IL the prettiest and costliest of A the French blouses have the n trimming of the front repeated,
 In a smaller form. of course, upon the back, in place of the almost universal trimming Of tucks. or, at most. of tucks with little lace set in.
 Last year the embroidery of the up- per part of the sleeves was one of the most marked features of the prettiest blouses, and, as if there couldn't be enough embroidery lavished on single blouse. the new treatment of tho backs this year provides one more place for it without giving up any of those 1t al- ready has
 The prettiest treatment of all Is when the flower design of the front spreads up in little sprays which out line the neck, and blossom out in profusion of flowers on the back.
 Sometimes the tiny motif which is in- tended for collar (and perhaps for cuffs) is applied, half in and half out of tiny panels formed by narrow lace, which runs from the shoulders down about a third of the way to the waist and back again. the corners of the little oblong neatly mitred.
 With most blouses opening, as they do. in the back. the design is necef- sarily kept very small and reversed for the other side. Or the involved combination of lace and embroidery- insertion describing deep points and circles, and the embroidery winding in and out at its own sweet will. peated in a more shallow way upon the back, the whole thing spaced care- fully so that the middle of the point marks the dividing line down the back, where the blouse fastens.
 Occasionally, when the design Is a great tf1ower-chrysanthe done in the pretty fiat Japanese fashion. or those odd conventionalized blossoms, which might be anything from tiger lilies to daisies-a single blossom is set on each side of the back, high on each shoulder, the stem of the flower starting either at the shoulder seam or coming out from the sleeve seam, or omitted entirely. In case like this the motif is made far more effective by being outlined with lace. and squares are more liked this year than circles.
 When the blouse is made, as some embroidery edged with the. small, stereotyped scallop characteristic of French work, the yoke either runs all the way around, cut in single piece. or is made in two pieces, joined by beading upon the shoulders, the yoke in the back more shallow, of course. than the one in front
 the blouse Is set, tiny tuciks. set as elSss eew seonpe of ncheS below ths fulness. If too much tu' Iess is the re-. suit of the tucks. the excess may be eased away to the under-arm seam and there disposed of.
 However it is worked out, this treat ment of making the trimming of the backs a feature is this years hallmark upon blouses. But your last years ones may be quite simply brought up to date if you trace off the prettiest part of the design of the front and work 1t upon the back Even if your sleeves are long, 1t need make no difference, for Paris is promising long sleeves again at no very far distant date.

DEFoREsTATIoN AND CLIMATE.

In an address delivered before the
German Meteorological Society at
Berlin, Dr. Hennig spoke Of the infu-
ence of forests upon climate, and he
called attention to a number of coin
cidents where the depletion of forests
appears to be attended by dryer condi
tons. According to COnsul-Genec Il
Gunuher of Frankfort, who has sum
married. the address for the consular
reports, DR.. Hennig said that the eli
mate Of Greece, where today only 10
per cent of the area is covered wi i
forests, has become dryer. An in
crease Of temperature and a decrease
of rain are noted, as compared with
ancient times. This is especially
noteworthy in Attica, which was
thickly covered with forests about
5000 years ago, and where hardly any
rain now falls; while the heat in the
open air attains a degree of intensity
that would make the indulgence ia a1h-
letic sports, once famous, now aim 81
an impossibility.
Similar conditions exist in the pen
insula Of Sinai, where thousands Of
years ago the people of Israel found
luxuriant and fertile country, though
today it is a desert. Palmyra, also
once a fiourishing oasis in the Syrian
desert, presents today only waste Of
stones and ruins. In Mexico, where
the Spaniards cut down the forests a
the mountains, droughts changing to
devastating foods are now noticeable,
especially in the neighborhood Of the
city of Mexico. In Algeria, where,
since the middle of the last. century,
the forests have been cut down on
large scale, dry weather has increas-
ed and in Venezuela the level of Lake
Tacarigua, to which Alexander Won
Humboldt drew attention, has been
lowered in consequence, it is said. Of
defOrestation.

4 TEST TO FATE.

A girl was picking grasses, in lane;
He sighted her with interest from
afar
And wondered if the effort would be
vain
A loss of time-such efforts often
To pass that way, and pause, as TAIN
to rest,
Tnen modestly accost her-just to
see
(Flinging to fate, perchance, too bold
testD
What sort of gfrl this special girl
might be?
1t all goes in a lifetime, Yes, he will
Take the sweet risk, the tempting
danger dare.
His manly pace he quickens-near
Her graceful form; choosing the
words with care
That from his lips in courteous tones
shall fall.
Little his gay heart dreamed that
ere a year
The voice he had not heard, would
softly call,
"Augustus-come and take thebaby,
dear!"

Freaks of the Avalanche.

One still January night number OF
people in a tiny Swiss hamlet Of the
Canton Wallis quietly abandoned Their
homes, and shortly before midnight
the avalanche broke loose with plung
ing roars. 1t started many others in
its downward roll left the usual
track. broke through and destroyed an
old struggling larch forest and com
pletely buried big chalet in which
twenty-s.x persons had taken refuge.
Of these nineteen were killed and
seven saved. This avalanche found
a resting place in a lake which its
broken masses struck with terrific i'm
pact, causing thousands Of fish to rise
to the surface, quite dead.
This reminds methatyearly tens OF
thousands of chamois, foxes, marmots
and all kinds of birds. including even
the lordly eagle himself, are destroyed
by avalanches and their attendant bur
ricanes. Last season at Andermatt
superb mountain eagle was dug out OF
an avalanche alive, together with the
sheep upon which it had been prev

stance Oh, I can see it all beauti-
fully And only think, Leslie, per-
haps we may get into the same
| school! 1t might be managed.
Mother has. some influence; poor
papas people are well known, and can

you sbant say anything against it or
shake your head. Waltz She ran
out of the room, and before Leslie
could recover from the various emo
tions-the hope, the fear, which
Lucy's suggestion had aroused-Lucy
was back with her books and papers.
Look here, Leslie, dear!" she ex-
claimed, painting. Here is the list
of subjects, and the books and every
thing, and we will start at once. Yes,
at once!"
Leslie hesitated, but Lucy drew her
down to a chair beside the table, and
gently forced her to examine the pa
pers.
Lucy and her scheme came just in
the nick of time, and once Leslie had
commenced, she worked with a fever
ish eagerness which Lucy declared re-
CURED the brake.
81 was just like that myself when |
started, though l don't think l was
quite as bad as you are, Leslie, dear;
but YOU soon find that the pace is too
fast, as my brothers would say; you
can't keep it up, and you have to
slow off into regular work and regular
rest. Time you should go out now;
it is two days since you left the house,
and you must come out with me. You
will soon break down if you kept on
at this rate
Reluctantly and with a sigh Leslie
put down the book she was working
at.
q am not tired; do not care to

one cannot think; and not to think"
She broke off and turned her face
away.

for she thought Leslie was only try
ing not to think of her father-'I
know: but if you kept on driving it |
off by constant working you would |
find that you would get no sleep, and |
be awake all night and think and |
that is worse than thinking in the |
daytime. Come, dear, we will go |

fresh to the tiresome BOOKS"
BLESSED books, say rather said
Leslie.
But she went and put on her out /
door things submissively The two |
girls had by this time entered into a
kind of partnership. Fate had thrown
them together in the whirl pool of
life, and they had decided to cling to-
gether to this spar, the change of mis-
tress-ship in a country school, and to
sink or float together. They joined
and eat their meals
together, and worked with an amity
and sweet friendliness which die
credit to both their hearts.

Leslie made her come in and sit
down, while she got a glass for the
flowers.

a sighg-"and the time seems very

book. had it at school,
Lucy would not hear of it for some
time but at last Leslie overcame her
scruples, and with a little blush re-
peated some of the paragraphs she
had got off by heart.
Reading for an exam, even little
one, is awful work. If it were only
one or two subjects which one had to
master it would not be so bad; but
when there aresix or a dozen then the
trouble comes in. AS fast as one sub
iect is learned, it is driven out of its
place in the memory by a second or
a third, and so on. Then one has to
go back and begin all over again,
until they all get mixed up, and one
feels it i'll be impossible to even get
them properly settled and arranged.
The more Leslie saw of this pleas
ant-faced, kind-hearted girl, the more
she admired and wondered at her pa
tience and courage.
They lighted the lamp and worked
through the evening, though Lucy
over and over again protested that it
was both wicked and cruel to take adj
vantage of Leslie's good-nature; and
at last she swept all the books to-
gether and declared that Leslie should
not touch another.
But if you knew what a help it
has been to me-" she exclaimed,
gratefully.
And to me" said Leslie, with a
smile. ct is 1 who ought to be
grateful-and indeed 1 am, for ]

"Ah! that is the worst of it," said
Lucy, gravely. "That is why l am so
glad I am obliged to work. You see,
I haven't time to think l keep on
like the man who climbed the Alps
What was his name-Excelsior?"
The next morning Lucy knocked
at the door. She had got her out
door things on, and had bunch of
flowers in her hand.

blushing timidly, but l have been

Republican Campaign Text Book }
Since it's very inception, the Re-
publican party has been legislating
in every Congress for the uplifting
of labor and the bettering of condi-
tions for all working classes. Thru
our tariff laws the working people
of the United States have been pro-
tected against the cheaper labor OF
the outside world, and wages today
are from two to ten times the
amount received elsewhere. Thru
our financial legislation tie wage
Garner has always received a full
dollar, and his savings and invest
ments have been fully protested.
Not only have wages constantly IN
creased and hours of labor been re-
duced, but sanitary conditions have
been constantly improved and in
spections and liability laws have
given to our working men and
women conditions and advantages
better, very much better, than in
any other country.
All the great national labor law
on our statute books were put there
by the Republican party.

Industry waits closely upon legis-
lation. Already western farmers
are considering the planting of
crops from which they can manu-
facture alcohol, to be denatured and

a great desire for some cheap aud
effective substitute for gasoline. the
supply of which is limited and the
price of which has steadily ..d-
