German Men Blossom Out.

In Berlin really serious effort Is
being made to introduce colored even
ing dress for men, and so far the fav-
orite color seems to be the very deep
est shade of violet, which Is not OBJ
trusive and is yet effective. In the
smart restaurants in Berlin several
colored suis have been seen, some be-
ing of dark blue, one or two of brown
and at least one of maroon. English
do not readily adopt fashions that
come to them from the Continent.
the Hamburg hat being the most no.
ticeable exception to the rule. There
seems to be a suggestion OF comic
opera about them. But as we have
so long discussed the desirability OF
colored evening dress 1t may be that
our men may adopt this mode. al
though 1t is made in Germany. One
feels sure men will be warmly en-
couraged by our sex II they do break
away from the conventional suit OF
solemn black.-Ladies' Pictorial.

SUNDAY COMIC SUPPLEMENTS.
Foster Deceit, Cunning and Disrespect
For Gray Hairs.

At the annual congress of the Play.
ground Association Of America, held
in New York, Miss Maud Summers.
of Cincinnati, in an address assailed
the comic supplement. Miss Sum.
mers was conducting special con.
ference on "Story Telling in the Play.
ground" She attacked the makers
of pictures in the comic supplement
as persons who were exerting an evil
influence on the young.
She said that the pictures intended
to entertain children, in the papers.
fostered deceit, cunning and disre.
pect for gray hairs. Instead of culti-
waiting admirable traits in the child's
character, the up-to-date pictures, she
said, taught the young that "it Is cum
ming to throw water from an upper
window upon an old person and to
outwit an infirm old man" She said
also:
"Humor has its place in the litera.
ture of childhood, and it would be
we'll if gifted writer's for children
could be found capable of substituting
genuine fun for the coarse, vulgar
type now so prominent. 1t Is of the
utmost Importance that the picture or
story for children shall have at its
heart spiritual truth, or, In other
words, that it shall have right mo.
tive. This truth may be any one of
the many virtues, such as generosity
kindness, hospitality, courage, hero
ism, chivalry, etc. 1t should be
worked out in terms of cause and
effect, according to the immutable
law of literature, the law of compen.
sation, which rewards the good, and
of retributive justice, which Furnishes
the bad"
The reason given for objection to
the supplements is that the nature Of
their contents and the Stiffness of
some of the pictures "tend to de.
moralize our youth and fill the child
ish mind with wrong impressions"

Remarkable John Burns
BY SYDNEY BROOKS.

To look down from one of the gall
leries on John Burns sitting on the
Treasury bench is to see apparently
an old man. The hair is almost snow
white; the forehead pale, spreading,
and deep lined; his movements as
he adjusts his eyeglasses and reads
over his official papers are leisurely
and might even seem fatigued. But

face and you catch a glimpse Of his
great, brown, clear, burning eyes. Or
wait till he rises to address the House.

The workmen know him and love
him. They recognize in him the big.

knows them and loves them in re-

them and make them elevate them
selves. Himself a non-smoker and a
total abstainer, he never shirks from
rubbing in his conviction that there

| MILLIONS WASTED
IN PULP MILLS.
4,5oo, 900 Cords Of Slabs De.
stroyed In the Refuse Burners
Yearly Throughout Country,

Government experts have been COL
lecting statistics which show that
there are great possibilities in the
field of invention for the relief of the
drain on the wood pulp forest of the
country by devising means for utiliz'
ing saw-mill waste.
1t Is estimated that there are A..
100000 cords of slabs destroyed in
refuse burners of the lumber mills
of the country each year. The wood
used for pulp last year amounted to
approximately four million cords.
about quarter of which had to be-
imported. The mill waste estimate
is based on a recent canvass Of some
of the larger mills of the country by
the United States Forest Service,
which established the interesting fact
that mills having an aggregate cut
of $40, 100000 board feet had n
final waste of 100000 cords Of
slabs after the best had been used
for lath. Assuming these mills to
be representative, it Is seen that there
Is still considerable waste in forest
products at the mill even after the
earnest efforts of lumbermen during
the last ten years to bring about a
closer utilization of the whole tree.
These figures made it look as if
American inventors, who are per-
forming wonderful feats in other
fields, should get down to the con-
sideration of methods to make these
waste slabs available for the pulp
makers. Work along these lines
would also be likely to show the way
for utilization of thousands OF tons
of sawdust which is now wasted each
year.
1t is true that some utilization Is
being made of mill waste at present,
but in most cases II is only the larger
and more modern plants that are even
making any attempts In this line.
Then, as it is. the plants which use
the sawdust waste the slabs. The
slab residue from the lumber cnt Of
the country is estimated to amount
to about 100000 cords. of which
about 100000, with an average
value Of s1.4O a cord. is sold for fuel.
100000 burned in the mills for fuel
and 4,500,O00 sent to the refuse
burners. This last figure shows the
enormous quantity of forest product
that is pure waste.
The iron furnace Stag heaps have
been seized upon by the brick maker
and the screening dumps of the coal
mines has become a valuable source
Of raw material for the briquette
manufacturer. Experts say that 1t
may prove possible to make Just as
good use of the waste Of the lumber
mills II slabs and sawdust con be
converted into pulp.-New York

The Hated Autobus.

The residents of the Rue de Douai
are celebrating with all the joyous.
ness suggestive of great event. IL.
luminations, lanterns and other festal
paraphernalia adorn that thorough
fare from the Rue Fontaine to the
Rue Vintimille, all in honor of the
temporar. removal of the autobus
while the street is being paved with
wood. Signs were posted the night
before last denouncing the autobus
as noisy institution, and expressing
Joy over the relief, which will last
twenty days. Business men of the
district have adopted resolutions in
favor of smaller and less noisy vehi-
e.es and an improved running sched-
u'e Mat will eliminate the passing Of
several machines through the same

OLD FAITHFUL.

When Tom aWOke 1t was d1Sa'
| yreeable, cloudy day, and 1t made his
| heart sick as he saw the sky get
| olacker and blacker every minute.
| But Tom was one of the "happy-go-
| ucky" kind, and resolved to make the
[ best of his Saturday. So hopping
| nimbly out of bed, he very soon was
working briskly at plastering down
his hair, as boys will, and scrubbing
ais face and hands. Before twenty
minutes had elapsed very slick and
shiny boy had appeared in his moth
| er's bedroom for inspection. Pro-
bounced clean, he ran away whistling,
| to gobble up his breakfast, grab his
zap and fee to the shed after his sled.
What sight met his eyes. A great
| Newfoundland dog, covered from
! head to foot with mud and whining
iismally, lay on his brand new sled,
and as Tom cautiously approached
.he dog whined still louder.
poor old boy" said Tom, kindl-.
Il think it's a mean shame to leave
such beasts as these around in ti!o
winter to starve. I'll ask mother If l
can't keep him. l wonder if she II
| let me?" Then lifting the dog gently.
| Tom saw a deep, slanting cut in hts
! (the dog's) hind leg, as though some-
! thing had been thrown at him that
was sharp and had cut mis- leg. The
| poor creature raised his sad brown
eyes to the boys face and they seemed
! 20 say:
Il know you'll help pe; you look
so kind"
With little pat on the head, Tom
left him and ran as fast as his legs
, would carry him to the house. and
on entering exclaimed breathlessly.
Mother, there's dog in the shed
| with a cut in his leg and he can't
walk. Please let Jake put him in the
| little express wagon and take him in
! the kitchen and give him a bath and
| something to eat and tie his leg up
