IT'S THE NAN VINO PAYS.

How much do men know about won.
ems dress, and how much do they
care about II? Is an interesting ques'
ton raised by curious advertisement
printed In London. The person who
placed the advertisement announces
himself as "a man of good position,
with very critical, refined and exclus'
i've knowledge" and much experience
OF the best firms which cater to wom'
ems wants. He Is willing to be con-
suited on matters of dress and millin'
cry" The heads of number OF we'll
known dressmaking establishments,
when asked for an opinion, all agreed
that the knowledge of men about wom'
ems dress is small, and their advice
In regard to 1t of little account They
admitted that the heads OF some OF
the most noted dressmaking establish
ments had been men. but they were OF
the opinion that the men succeeded
only by virtue of being good business
managers, and that the details were
worked out by women In their employ
"It Is only the result that men no.
tice." was the general agreement
Very likely there Is truth In this view,
but there Is also truth In the opposite
side OF the proposition, says the
Youths Companion. Many women are
so intent upon the details that they
lose sight Of the result. They cannot

A GOOD WORK.

Nearly all European nations have
quarantine and inspection laws intend.
ed to prevent the importation Of In.
furious insects. The chief OF the
American Bureau Of Entomology.
who has recently returned from q
tour Of inspection Of European
exporting nurseries. has been setting
forth the importance Of keeping out
all sorts Of insect pests liable to de.
stroy trees and growing crops. The
same newspaper which contained the
entomologist's views announced. In q
despatch from the state capital, that
the codling.moth and other insects
have injured the Pennsylvania apple
and peach crop to the extent Of mil.
lion dollars. The codling-moth Is not
a native OF America, as 1t came with
the apple tree. The San Jose scale IL
supposed to have entered the country
from Japan; the brown.tail moths were
brought here on roses from Europe
Now the national government Is CO
operating with the state government
Of Massachusetts In an effort to get RID
Of these rapidly increasing pests.

GREAT IS KING CORN.

II Is expected that this years corn
crop will be the largest ever grown.
The estimate is three billion bushels.
worth to the farmers who raise 1t
more than two billion dollars. Corn
Is indeed the king Of all American
crops. the greatest material contribu.
tion of the country to the wealth and
welfare Of mankind, Cotton and
wheat are often ranked with corn.
yet the most valuable cotton crop the
country ever raised. that OF 1906. was
worth only seven hundred and twenty.
two million dollars-a little more than
one-third OF the value Of this years
corn crop-and the greatest wheat
crop. that OF 1908. was smaller still In
value, six hundred and seventeen mil.
lion dollars. The value of this years
corn crop is greater than the nations
entire bonded debt at the close Of the
civil war. Corn Is something distinc.
lively American. The maise OF the
Indian was the mainstay Of the pion'
eer. 1t hastened the conquest OF the
continent and Is one OF Its golden
glories. Great is King Corn!

and South Africa has added much to
their populations without decreasing
the number in Europe. The United
States increased in population during
the first half Of the nineteenth century
$40 per cent, and during the second
half 22s per cent. But these figures
were small to begin with and the huge
percentages mean little. A better no

THE POST CARD FAD.

To the manufacturing Of fads In
connection with postal cards there
seems to be no end. The picture card
originally contained an excellent
idea. It had a touch of nature and
appealed to the Imagination. But
what degenerate fovms It speedily
assumed. and what q nuisance 1t be.
came! The indecent cards required po.
lice Intervention. The merely vulgar
card has had to seek obscurity and a
congenial atmosphere. The varieties
that are ut will survive. whether they
are made In Germany. France or In
the home market. The plain. un.
adorned post card retains Its useful.
ness and hold. however. and will never
be wholly displaced. In France. It
appears, some aspirant to fame or
pseudo. .benefactor of mankind has In.
vented q labor.saving card that re.
sembles In form the Australian ballot.
II bears all sorts Of messages. senti.
ments and nutshell formulas. and all
that the purchaser has to do Is to
hnd the box that Ats his case and
mark 1t with q cross. The busiest
traveller. 1t Is supposed. will spare
the time to write the address. for
alas, that labor cannot be saved a
long as names are SO wastefully varied
and places so innumerable. But think
Of the Joy Of the receipt Of the in
spring card. with the one small print
ed line intended for his benefit amonl
q wilderness Of sentiments" that arr
"lost" In space and time! Think o.
the thrill In the stereotyped message
Labor saving has its limits. The in
ventors must really leave us littl,
spontaneity. q real chance for indi
vidual expression. for "home indus
