and dark gray. The illustration shows
one of the prettiest of these designs.
The coat may be three quarter length
or shorter, according to the pleasure OF
the owner This one is Of fine stripe
of gray over a cream white. The skirt
is tailor finished and quite plain, while
all the trimming upon the coat consists
OF the black velvet collar and cuffs in
such striking contrast. This same de
sign is very neat in any goods.
Hats seem to be of every imaginable
shape, size, style and material. Every
thing goes, from fur to lace and from
felt to flowers. Those that have feath-
ers for trimming have more and longer
ones than l have ever seen. Quilts,
wings and punches of feathers made
from turkeys. geese. guinea hens and
even ordinary common chickens are
worn, while the made up things in all
sorts of shapes and varieties are color
ed in the most brilliant shades. Whole
Eeron ruffs and aigretS are the choicest
Of all, and they are placed in any kind
of way on the velvet bonnets. These
ere so very costly that nothing is con-
sidered worthy for foundation but
heavy velvet.
Isabella fox fur neck pieces are very
pretty AID make good showing for
the money. The same furs for the neck
are stylish still, and 50 are paw sets,
tie and huff. The tie has in some cases
two heads at the back of the neck.

and pillow muffs are among The new.

After these come the coats and jack
cts. Caracal jackets are very rich and
handsome The black is lustrous and
fine. Broadcloth coats lined with Sibe-
rian squirrel are very desirable, but the
ordinary squirrel is about as hand
some. These long cloth coa.s have
shawl collars of black lynx or rome
other preferred fine fur.

Hollands Future.

The question of the future Of the
Netherlands has been revived Of late
in various forms, and the destiny of
the two countries coming under that
title seems to be involved in the des-
tiny of one of them-that ia, Holland.
Whoever holds Holland in any new ar
rangement of the Low Countries holds
Belgium. Since France and England
contended a century and more ago
Germany has come upon the field as
great power, and both England and
France would be affected should the
Germans control Holland. 1t is said
in Europe that the Dutch are at pres
ent inclined toward allegiance to some
great empire rather than have their
country remain a small and inconsid-
cradle state. On this point the Lon
don Saturday Review says:
We are too ready to Judge Of modern
Holland by her past. Today she is large
ly nation of ease loving, we'll to do
bourgeois. The upper classes draw large
incomes from colonies which they do not
govern with any special felicity. In the
event of a failure of heirs to the house of
Orange one great incentive Of patriotism
would vanish. There a very nice prob
lem arises. In the case Of voluntary
Incorporation of Holland with the Ger
man empire would any other nation
claim the right to interfere? Tbs possi-
bility of the seizure of Holland by force
may be eliminated. Such a step would
not only excuse but oblige, outside inter-
ference. But could France or England
interfere to prevent Dutchmen from do
ing the best for themselves or what the
majority thought the best?
The Review suggests that Holland
and Belgium may reunite and face the
future together. But it also affirms
that both countries have Of late be-
come GermaniZed to a considerable
eXtent-that is to say, the official
classes of Belgium and the CONNER
cial classes of Holland. This authority
holds that the possession Of Holland
by Germany would result in the alb
sorption of Belgium, whether the Bel
gians resisted or not.

some NJ the New Ideas In Furs and
Seasonable Millinery.
Just at the present moment women
are wearing pretty tailor made suits
while waiting for the days when furs
will be necessary. A few have put
theirs furs on-that is to say. the
small ties and short shoulder pieces
but muffs will not be needed for some
weeks to come When they do they
will be large, fiat and generally IN
graceful, but they are in some ways
desirable above the smaller and dain-
tier ones of year or 50 ago. for these
come well up to the elbows and thus
keep the arms warm in place Of the
sleeves. Women are queer and ire
sponsible creatures, after all. for Just
when they need the extra warmth of
long sleeves. behold. they cut them
of at the elbow and depend on muffs.
True, the gloves are made with a d.
rect bearing on the short sleeve They
reach even above the bend of the arm
and do almost keep that member from
freezing, but it needs the muff to sup
ply the necessary amount of calOric.
The gloves for wearing with the pretty
short coats and pony jackets. the blouse
coats, the jaunty bolero REFERS, the
handsome long rain coats and the long
loose coat now so much in evidence are
made Of heavy dogskin, tan. brown
and in fact all the seasons colors.

Among the new dress goods 1 see
much navy and black storm serge

that serges had when they were in
style some fifteen years ago. Serge has
always been worn more or less, as it
is a standard stuff, but it is fashionable
now, which it was not for long time

mesh volles plated over slips of lus-

Mother and Daughter In journalism.

Ten years ago there was on the stair
of the New York Tribune a tall, dark

liked Mrs. Pierce, who was fair mind
ed and kindly in her newspaper WORK.
Time went on, and the daughter,
through her mothers influence, became
secretary to the editor Of the Tribune's
woman department. Still more time
went on, both mother and daughter
working faithfunkin their respective
places. Now pretty Madeleine Fierce
is herself editor of the woman's depart
ment of the paper, and the brave moth

Doctrine From tho PULPIT.

OVCVEI00 r EVuA UAhO OARANs
In a recent address to the students q
a divinity school the lecturer warned
the candidates for the ministry not to
be "misled by a rumOr that the con-
gregation is weary Of doctrinal ser
mons" He added that the reason why
lawyers, doctors, teachers, writers and
men Of affairs whose business demands
more than routine use Of the intellec-
tual powers often seem so benevolent
~ Indifferent to the church Is to be
found in part in the decay Of the doc
trinal sermon.
They are interested in religion. Every
man who is really educated Is. But
because of their constant use Of their
reasoning powers they want reasons
for what they are asked to believe. All
their mental habits of life deter them
from accepting unsupported assertions.
They do not care for merely dogmatic
sermons. They cannot be led to active
belief merely because some other man
up in a pulpit. commonly Of fewer
years, less experience and smaller
learning, save in one special field. than
they possess. tells them they should so
believe.
The minister Is assumed to be a stu
dent Of doctrine. His education Is sup
posed to have trained him In research
Of the documents and evidence Of re-
ligicn, natural and revealed. and to
have equipped him with ability to say
what this evidence is and what 1t
means to those trained to weigh it.
When he breaches ON the lines Of his
special training he Is bound to preach
dOctrinal sermons.
And If to mistaken and unsuitable
faith the preacher add ability to give
reasons which appeal to intelligence for
his faith he will never lack intelligent
and educated men as hearers. He gives
them what they want-the reasons Of
trained reasoner on the points Mt issue
for the faith they have or are seeking.
Moreover. such sermons may be
made interesting to the general con-
gregation. That department Of church
history which treats of the evolution
Of doctrine is rich field to draw
upon for Illustration and proof In
fact, in this domain lies about all that
is personal and vivifying in the life of
the church on earth.

of either sex in America is Mrs. Eliza

list, whose non de plume is Dorothy
Dix. She is on the staff Of the New

Dorothy Dix is a southern woman, a
native of Tennessee. Her first news
paper work was done on paper in
New Orleans. In that city the tai

treat to hear Dorothy Dix read one Of
her own stories in negro dialect.

from New York editors. One of these
is Miss Dorothy Richardson of the Her
aid. She was born in western Penn
sylvania and began to earn her own
living when she was sixteen. First
she was stenographer. Then came
the desire and determination to become
q newspaper writer. She has warm,
quick sympathies and vivid magma
ton. From Pennsylvania she went to
New York city In search Of employ
nent. Her experiences In this line
were SO hard and bitter that they turned
her thought toward working girls ana
women in general. She investigated
their condition and found this to be in
numerous cases no better than actual
slavery. One Of the results of her
awakening on the working girl ques-
ton is her book, 'The Long Day."
which sets forth things as they are. It
is well for wage earning women Of the
poorer paid class that they have such
champion as Dorothy Richardson.
She believes that stiff trades union
among working girls would be ex-
tremely helpful in correcting some of
the evils under which they suffer. She
also finds a great need to be that of
hotels for working girls, places where
for less than IS week they may OBJ
tain a comfortable home.

knowledge is What Counts.

]. D. Dietrich, Of Pennsylvania, who
has become noted for his business
methods in conducting dairy, says
he has a registered cow in his herd
on which a good Judge Of dairy ami
mails would gladly hang ribbon but
if she were measured by her milking
test one year ago, she would have
been sold for bologna. The circum-
stances are these: She was bred in
the silk, her size, dairy type, barrel,
udder, front and back, suggestive OF
Golden Lads, had everything to COM
mend her and most excellent heller
she was with her first calf. There
was no better breeder than she in the
dairy, yet for two years she was really
what would be called an Improbable
COW. The owner insisted that the
trouble lay in the feed and the care.
The time to renew cow is when she
is dry and unfortunate is the dairyman
who does not know this. When the
period of lactation entirely ceased for
Daisy Hillie Cream she was fed and
cared for as the owner directed. She
developed splendidly for motherhood,
the udder distended nicely, all four
quarters filled evenly and she swung
a ponderous udder when she walked.
She calved all right and is now milk
ing thirty-eight to forty pounds or milk
day.

to the health of milch cows as to that
of human beings. Some recently pro-
mulgated theories Of dark, warm
stables and no exercise for profitable
milk production are without a ration
al basis, and certain to lead to disas-
trous results sooner or later. EXPOS
ure to storms and cold is equally in
furious to the health and profit of
COWS. A judicious mean is the pro-
vision for moderate exercise in the
open air and sunshine, and the appli-
cation of the same common sense care
for the comfort OF COWS which one
would approve for members of his
own household.
Every member of the herd, young
or old, should pass under the critical
eye of the owner or his trusty assist
ant daily, and preferably twice a day.
The least symptom Of disorders, like
dullness, loss Of appetite, rough coat
and irregularity of milk, manure or
urine, should be noted and promptly
receive the attention it deserves. Ex-
perience is needed on the part of the
caretaker to detect and correct the be-
ginnings of trouble and thus maintain
the general health of the herd.

The new plant also contains one of the
largest "Wizard" cream ripeners in
the northwest, in which the cream is
cooled by cold brine pumped through
rotary screw from the cold storage
plant. The rotary screw is hollow and
through this the brine circulates and
cools the cream, so that no ice ever
comes in contact with the cream in
the ripener. In connection with the
creamery and dairy, the company
operates an ammonium cold storage
plant, and has two large cold storage
rooms to accommodate butter, eggs and

One cream buyer is hired to do moth
ing else but visit the farmers of the
northwest and purchase the finest
cream obtainable, but even at that the
company finds it difficult to get enough
cream to make the butter that their
trade demands, and farmers who have
good cream for sale will find this a
good market for it. The firms we'll

THE DAIRY
Forming a Dairy Herd.
(Prof. H. e. Alvord.)

There is no point of greater import
ance in selecting animals for the
foundation of herd or in making pur-
chases of additions than to get per-
fectly healthy stock. Animals chosen
should be critically examined and
should afford evidence of being strong
in constitution and of healthful vigor
It is advised that all be tuberculin
tested, and this, of course. should be
done by a competent veterinarian. Be-
sides the robust character of the indi.
viduals the breeding stock from which
they are descended and the herd
stables and farms from which they
come should be closely examined on
the score of health. Breeding and
rearing the animals needed to re-
plenish and increase the herd and re-
fusing to allow strange animals on the
farm are the best safeguards against
the introduction of disease.
If purchases must be made let the
new stock be strictly quarantined for
at least one month before mingling
with the herd. On every farm OF any
size well-secluded building for
stock quarantine and hospital, suitably
arranged and equipped, is most use

One of Largest creameries in State
The firm of Miller-Read-Peas Co.,
Inc. of Western avenue, Seattle,
wholesale dealers in butter, eggs ana
cheese, has during the past spring IN
stalled a dairy and creamery In con-
nection with it's business, and IS now
among the leading butter manufactur-

firm was organized four years ago ny
w. M. Pease, the present secretary OF
the company, and has grown very rap
idly. For some time the company
has been manufacturing it's own but
ter. but the demand grew SO large,
that it was found that new manufac-
turing facilities would be imperative,
so they installed their present ample
manufacturing plant. The company
buys cream from the farmers of Wash
ington and Oregon and manufactures
it into a fine quality of butter in its
two big churns. One of these churns
is the largest in the state, and has
capacity of 1900 lbs. The other has a
capacity of $50 lbs. The plant is able,
when working at full capacity, to turn
