Excellent progress in the process of

The reports from far and near show that
the aggregate yield for the whole grain
growing country is likely to be large,
and there are those who assert that the
quantity will be equal to about IS per
cent. of that secured last season. The
quality will be the important considera-

mon shadings also making appeal to
many. Stripes seem to pattern every
fabric with impartiality, and in the
matter of trimmings, braidings and
embroideries many -colored as Joseph's

ment which they do not jointly adorn

Not that you are likely to display any
anxiety for such a discovery, seeing
that the effect of the said trimmings

from Crop Experts.

Most of the states of the union felt
the unusually severe winter of 1867,
and the effects of the succeeding late
spring were everywhere apparent.
Corn was planted two and sometimes
three times, the winter wheat suffered
and generally there was nervous
feeling as the retarded growth was in
evidence. From the Dakotas to Texas
the feeling of dread existed, and the
fears were entertained that the crop of
corn, wheat, oats and barley would
be distinct failure. How far this was
the case is best left to those who
passed through the experience. Natur-
ally the same conditions were preva-
lent throughout the province of Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, in
western Canada, and with from $780,
900 to 100000 farmers there from the
United States large degree of inter-
est was manifest in almost every state
of the union, for every state has some

representative there. This interest
was a nervous one and caused consid-
cradle indecision on the part of friends
and others intending to follow. Those
interested in injuring the country cir
culated stories of ruin and disaster,
but the effect was lost, as it had been
long enough in the limelight to prove
its high standing amongst the agri-
cultural sections of the continent. The
heavy strain placed upon it was not
too great; it has shown that the faith
placed in it has been warranted, and
it is this year producing undoubted ev-
idence that in agricultural possibili-
ties and resources it stands among the
first of food producers. A late spring
delayed seeding from the usual early
April period until late in May, and in
many cases well on into June. And
with what result? 1t is little early
to tell the result, but that there will
be a three-quarter crop is almost alb
solutely certain. The yield of wheat
in 1906 was 95,00O,0O0 bushels; 1907 it
will be between 100000 and S0.0O0.-

1t is in cOloring, rather than in con-
sour, that the changes which Fashion
has ordained for the coming season
are to be noted, and while the general
outline and scheme of our garments
are those with which we have become
pleasantly familiar during the past
few months, everything will be trans
formed in effect by striking and mani
fold contrasts of color. No longer is it
to be our aim to show the one chosen
shade in practically every detail of
our costume from hat to shoes-on
the contrary, the more colors are clev-
erly combined on gown and headgear

the maker be proclaimed, and, in

How Chinese "Get Religion"
| dropped into two street chapels
in Picking, one belonging to an indie
pendent native church and one at
tached to the American board
compound. The street chapel is the
approved method of reaching the
crowds in Chinese cities. 1t is a
typical Chinese room, open to the
street, where a native or missionary
spends two or three hours every aft
ernoon eXpounding Christianity to
whoever drops in, and there is deal
of coming and going, since it no long
er brings disgrace upon man to
listen to the preaching of 'the Jesus
way"
Various methods of approach are
used, all depending upon the bent OF
the preachers mind. At the Congre-
gatioral street chapel heard a native
pitching into idol worship as a for
eigner would scarcely consider it
polite to do. Advantage is often
taken of the Chinese ignorance of the
physical world to lead him up to the
teaching of one God through the facts

asked a missionary if natives are
often converted by single hearing
of the Christian story, and the an
swer was that occasional well-authen-
ticated instances of such are known
to almost every missionary.
The service l attended in the ma
tive chapel partook largely of the ma
ture of prayer meeting, with par
ticipation by numerous persons. AT
the close several hearers expressed an
interest in Christianity and "a desire
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1907-11-01

to become "inquirers." Since there
were absolutely no material advan
tages to be gained by this step, mas
much as the work was exclusively ma
tive, l could not but regard this as
one evidence of the sincerity of the
Chinese desire for the Christian teach
ing. In this chapel noticed a list of
the martyred members who had per-
ished in 1900.

churches. That at the latter place is
quite self-supporting, and it has

citizens far beyond the proportion ex-
listing in the city at large, thus dis
proving the charge that only the low
er classes enter the church. One does
not meet in the homeland many
churches showing more generally
vigorous, healthy and active life than
this one. Quite a strong Christian
community now clusters about it, al
though this region was sorely raw
aged by the Boxers and the allied
troops. In this American board COM

Picking, China-The missions at
Picking are often pointed out as mod
els. And with reason. The workers
are of a higher grade than ordinary,
and they maintain pleasant social re
iations with the legation people and
with the few other Europeans in the
capital. They are on friendly terms
with eminent Chinese. Their work is
substantially planted, and housed in
fine quarters. They display degree
of UNCONVENTIONAL corrity far in ad-
vance of what is generally to be found
in America. At least one prosperous
native church exists, and medical
and educational service is rendered to
the community which commands the
praise of all observers. There are
serious grounds for criticism, also,
and these will be mentioned later.
The American missions are the
Northern Methodists, the Congrega-
tionalists, and the Presbyterians, the
London Mission and the French
Roman Catholics represent the con-
tinent of Europe. Near Picking, and
to be considered in this general
group, are the Congregational Mission
at Tung Chow, and the Presbyterian,
Congregational and China Inland Mis-
sion at Pao-Ting-fu, both of which
cities were centers of the Boxer out
RACES. The year 1900 wiped the mis-
sionary slate clean, so that, in most
cases, there was not even a vestige
of the former establishments left
This accounts for the newness, order
illness and attractiveness of the much
discussed mission compounds.

disregard its many special advantages
| when applied to theater coats and
| wraps generally, while, then, it is to
be noted that the sleeve of elbow
length-or rather, shortness-ca now
| be discarded by all those who may
prefer the more protective and becom-
| ing sleeve, whose career continues to
the wrist, and whose claims to re-
| newed favor are at last being recog-
nized.
Blouses are of universal interest
| and women are constantly needing to
| add to their supply of these most con-
| venient garments. In our large illus
| tration above We display a variety OF
patterns, from which helpful sugges-
tons may be obtained for the making
| of these garments.
The special features of fashion
which vary from those of the fall and
winter season of 1906 are the skirts
and the sleeves, both having become
considerably smaller. The ordinary
taiIor-made mans sleeve is prominent
ly adopted on the long coat, while the
skirts Invariably fit closely round the
hips, and boast their little fulness in
the center of the back.
The short skirt and the long skirt
are alike in evidence, and since each
may most successfully play a different
part, there is no reason that the
charms of both should not be recog-
nized impartially.
Although there is much talk of max
| ing velvet dresses with the short
skirts and long coats, / would hold
| that as a general rule, the long skirt
| looks far better in velvet. Velveteen,
however, may have success as a
| short skirt, and besides these checked
| and striped velveteens of which have
| already spoken, I have met some with
| blurred spots upon their surface, and
| others with pattern of some conven-
tional design in fine black.
| The models in hats all seem exactly
alike, invariably of the bell-shaped
style, the only alternative being the
beaver toque, which has an upturned
brim, and is trimmed with couple of
skeleton feathers or fanciful
mount" of plumes.
| The tunic swathed round the figure
is the latest novelty for evening wear,
though it is, of course, but revival,
like all good novelties. 1t is made of
| good crepe de chine, and dragged
round so that it fits quite tightly over
it's lining, while it is bordered with a
thick silk fringe, and it rests on a
brocaded or embroidered petticoat.
| Numerous are the tweeds in stripes.
and the most successful rival to the
stripe is the costume which consists
of a checked skirt and plain coat,
such checked skirt being constantly
made of velveteen, while the coat is
invariably of cloth. Then there are
some checked tweeds strapped with
cloth, and you may also find the per-
petually attractive plain-faced cloth
trimmed with strappings of velvet, as
we'll as with those silk braid bindings
which are almost ubiquitous.

work hereabouts is the union educa-
tional plan, in which all the missions
are united. Thus the Congregations
lists put into the scheme the fine new
college for men at Tung Chow, and
the college for young women at Pek-
ing; the Presbyterians, the theological
seminary, and the London Mission the
great medical college and hospital at
Peking The Methodists unite only in
the medical college. Each denomina-
ton has Representatives on the faculty
of all these institutions, and they are
Jointly managed. Each mission main.
tains its own primary or day schools
as before.
The result is an educational work
for the Chinese which must evoke
the admiration of every one who sees
it. The empress dowager is con-
hospital All the buildings are large
and we'll equipped, with the possible
exception, in the last particular, of
the theological seminary, and it has a
fine body of students, and with high
grade instruction. The quality of the
teaching throughout, both in the in
situations mentioned and in the Pek-
ing university, is the strength of the
enterprise. If there were room,
should like to enumerate the men and
women who are pouring their power
into the creation of a new leadership
for China. Such teachers as Rev. DR..
w. A. p. Martin, long head of the I'm

whose dictionary every student OF
China knows; Miss Luella Miner, au.
thor and leader in woman's education;
Prof. Isaac T. Headland, author OF
books on Chinese folk lore and art
such as these would make any edu
cational work great.
