Railroads Providing For Timber
supply.

The planting of $500, 900 trees within
period Of eight years by single cor
poration is an item of practical forestry
deserving the attention Of students Of
forest conservation.
In the adoption of its policy Of
tree planting the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company Is acting under the pressure Of
economic necessity, the growing scarcity
OF railroad ties and the increasing coat OF
those available having pointed the neces-
sity of making provision for the future.
This great undertaking. calling for pro-
fessional skill of high order, a very
considerable outlay of land and capital
and a patient waiting for results, is
in lire with other similar forestry
experiments BY railroads in Ahe United
States, but differs from all of them in its
magnitude Unlike some of the railroad
''tie wood plantations, those of the
Pennsylvania are not confined to the
cultivation ofihlb quick. growing caialpa,
but give preference TO black locust and
red oak. And the effort is not confined
to the cultivation of suitable timber, but
involves the study and eradication of in
sect enemies of different trees and the
perfection OF wood preservative processes.
Altogether. the work is complex and
difficult one, but if it results in securing
to the railroads regular and adequate
supply of tie material it will probably
justify all the cost antftrouble.

The formation Of league in Berlin

Popular Trimmings.

The most popular trimmings for
plain dark silks and standings are the
embroideries done in oriental color
ings and patterns, and the trimming
departments of the large shops have
furnished them abundantly. OF course
when such work is put directly on n
gown its effect is enhanced, but the
ready made trimmings are easily made
one with the fabrics which they trim
either with hand stitches or with
braids. Some of the handsomest of
these trimmings are done on coarse
linen in silks of cashmere colorings
Touches Of such trimmings on the col
lar, cuffs. lapels. etc, do much to raise
a costume from the ordinary to the
smart.

A VICIOUS AMENDMENT.

Eternal vigilance is the price of lib

While the laymen sleep and the bust
