In order that the training may be
as practicable as possible, it is neces-
sary that the time occupied in attend
ing to baby in most homes should not
be overlooked in the program of the
experimental home. 1t is proposed
each week, therefore, to undertake the
care of a child belonging to work
ing class family in the neighborhood,
and in this way the girls would gain
further valuable experience.
Every piece of furniture and every
utensil would have the price paid for
it marked on 1t, so that the girls might
have an idea of how much each article
can be bought for.

The rose is the ia -orite flower and

charm in the artificial flowers which
closely copy natural effects, the weird
flower colorings making possible very

with the Creators mind through all of his creations! There is wealth that is worth while, power that makes us really great. What is there in a pile of dollars compared with having ones mind and soul so edu- cated that one can drink in power at every pore, absorb infinite meaning from every natural object, read a poem in every flower and leaf; so trained that he can hear musical har- mony that the physical ears are too coarse to detect! It is strange that we should make slaves of ourselves for mere millions, when there are riches so infinitely superior scatter ed everywhere.

Twenty billion feet of hardwoods would be a conservative estimate or the annual productive capacity of the 75OOO,OOO acres of forest lands m the Appalachians if they were rlghtly managed. Until they are we can eX- pect a shortage in hardwood timber.
 Circular 116, of the Forest Service entitled The Waning Hardwood Sup ply" discusses this situation. It may be had upon application to the For ester, Forest Service, Washington, U. C., and it is an interesting paper which will interest anybody who IS interested in the timber business.

HOW llLlle we IedllLc tuoI IAAo SAA ', is one vast kindergarten, and that great lesson is locked up in every leaf, poem in every flower! It IS through these natural objects that the Creator communicates with us. We ought to live near enough to the ln- finite mind to be able to read his handwriting in the rocks, his mes sages in the strata of the earth; but II is only the pure in heart that see God, that is, those whose minds are clarified of selfishness and greed. who have become transparent enough to see the Creator through his mar velous works.
 Those whose eyes are coverd "lth a film of selfish love and greed can never see God in his creation. It IS only those who live the simple life,
 who practice plain living and high thinking, that can see and read the messages the Creator has put into his works. The trees, the streams, the meadows, the mountains, the lakes, all natural objects are packed with meaning to the eye that can see them, the man that has transpar- ency enough to see and approach them.
 How painful it is to see tens of | thousands of people flocking to the country in the summer just for the fresh air and a change and little respite from life's drudgery! They do not see the marvellous flowers that they tread under their feet and pass by with indifference. They do not realize what miracles of beauty and design are packed into the juices of fruits or displayed in the beautiful tints of the flowers and leaves; scenes which would send an angel into ec- stasy are passed by without even ex- citing an aesthetic emotion.
 What pictures of sublimity and majesty are possible in the moun- tains! What messages of power, of infinite force the ocean teaches us! What else could convey the same idea of irresistible force and sublime power that comes from a mighty storm at sea, or great ebbing, flowing tides?
 Who can estimate the infinite pos abilities of information, of culture, in even a single rose? No scientist has yet been learned enough to ex- haust the meaning of blade of grass or leaf. No one has ever yet been able to unravel the mysteries in grain of sand.
 The trouble with most of us is that we are so Intoxicated with the dollar mania we do not get even a smatter- ing of the possible good, the grand eur all about us. The coming man will be so responsive to beauty, so sensitive to truth that the common est objects of nature, which we pass by with indifference, will entrance him. The most of us are too selfish, too greedy, to respond to anything that does not add to our comfort or to our material possessions. We are blindfolded to everything else.
 But think what wealth there is in having a soul so sensitive to every thing that is beautiful, good and true that we can come in close contact

THE WANING HARDWOOD SUPPLY

Although the demand for hardwood lumber is greater than ever before, the annual cut today is billion feet less than it was seven years ago. In this time the wholesale price of the different classes of hardwood lumber advanced from 25 to 65 per cent. The cut of oak; which in 1899 was more than half the total cut of hardwoods, has fallen off 36 per cent. Yellow poplar, which was formerly second in point of output, has fallen off 38 per cent, and elm has fallen off one-half.
 The cut of softwoods is over four times that of hardwoods, yet it is doubtful if shortage in the former would cause dismay in so many in- dustries. The cooperage, furniture, and vehicle industries depend upon hardwood timber, and the railroads, telephone and telegraph companies, agricultural implement manufactur- CTS, and builders use it exclusively.
 This leads to the question, Where is the future supply of hardwoods to be found? The cut in Ohio and Indiana, which, seven years ago, led all other states, has fallen off one-half. Illi- nois, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Min nesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Tennes- see, Texas, West Virginia and Wis consin have also declined in hard wood production. The chief centers of production now lie in the lake states, the lower Mississippi valley. and the Appalachian mountains Yet in the lake states the presence of hardwoods in an almost certain indi- cation of rich agricultural land, and when the hardwoods are cut the land is turned permanently to agricultural use. In Arkansas, Louisiana and Mis- sisissippi the production of hardwoods is clearly at it's extreme height, and in Missouri and Texas it has already begun to decline.
 The answer to the question, there fore, would seem to lie in the Appa
 lachian mountains They contain the
 largest body of hardwood timber left
 in the United States. On them grow the greatest variety of tree species anywhere to be found. Protected from fire and reckless cutting, they produce the best kinds of timber, since their soil and climate combine to make heavy stands and rapid growth. Yet
 much of the Appalachian forest has been so damaged in the past that it will be years before it will again reach a high state of productiveness.

Gently declared a distinguished states
man, and along the same line the New

Nowadays the way to make war is
to fire the national heart. So it was
with the Franco-Prussian war, in which
the rage of two great nations respond

fact that all the pretended reasons for
the war had been conceded before the

cent war with Spain. Neither govern
ment could control the forces behind it,,
swept by the storm of public opinion
and popular passion.
'As the case stands between US and
Japan we are friendly nations. AS for
the American people, they do not want
war, and Japan, overweight in a war
that strained her nearly to exhaustion,
needs peace, as her wise men know. But
the nations are inflammable forces, and
the unrestrained promotion of Journal
istic clamor may have power to excite
the people on both Sides
We, as a people are not against the
Japanese. There was really only small
element in San Francisco that was or
iginally engaged in this anti-Japanese
agitation. Having just whipped Rus

ment of jingoes over there that, for po-
litical purposes, is making the most of
the agitation in this country. Neither

ment is warlike. why cannot the lingo
