ENCOURAGING SIGNS OF LIFE
Liberal Contribution in United
States and Canada for Work
of the Foreign Missions.

In spite of the financial depression
the offerings of the United States and
Canada for foreign missions increased
last year 1902 900 The increase of in
come from the foreign field was even
more remarkable, being $1,36O,0
The total gifts on the foreign field
was $4,S44, 900, and this amount was
4S per cent of the total amount con-
tributed for foreign missions by the
Protestant churches of North America.
The increase of native converts last
year was 164,674, or over $50 day
The cumulative effects of the foreign
mission enterprise is shown by the
fact that it took 100 years to gain the
first million converts. The second
million were secured in II years, and
they are now being added at the rate
of a million in six years. The percent
age of the increase of the church
membership of America was one and
one-half, while the increase of Amer
lean missions abroad was II per cent.
Two members were added in America
for each ordained minister, while Al
were added in the foreign field for
each ordained American missionary

TO TEST VITALITY OF SEED.
Samples of Grain Smoked Before Rain
and Cold Spell Wanted.

Manhattan.-The following circular
letter has been prepared by Prof A NJ
Ten Eyck, of the Kansas State Agrf-
cultural college, and will be sent to
the farmers OF Kansas:
There has been considerable agi-
tation among the commercial inter-
ests Of the country regarding the
probability that many farmers have
not saved good seed corn, and that the
corn which has been left in the field
has doubtless been badly injured for
planting, and that there may be
scarcity of good seed corn for planting
next spring.
Il wish to make some investigation
Of this subject as regards the amount
Of seed corn on hand and its quality
and vitality, and request that you sam
pie your seed corn, taking out % aver
age ears from different parts of the
crib, removing six kernels from each
Of these ears, two from near the top,
two from near the middle and two
from near the butt, taking the kernels
from opposite sides of the ear; the
plan being to get an average of the
whole ear. Place these kernels in the
envelope and mail to this office, where
termination tests will be made. 1
shall be pleased to make a personal
report of the results to you, and the
data may also be used for publication.
81 desire also to know something
about the condition of the seen corn;
when it was saved and how it was
stored. 1 would like also to secure a
number of samples of corn from the
field, such ears as might still be Sc
lected for seed, according to the judg-
ment of the farmer. Would also like
to have some samples taken from the
crib from corn which was shucked be-
fore the rain and cold weather, if
there was such. If you can send or
der samples illustrating these condi-
lions please inform me and 1 shall
send other seed envelopes.
Put in each seed envelope a slip,
giving the name and address of grow
er, together with the name of the
variety of corn and description of
! the conditions under which the sample
was taken.
81 shall be pleased to have you ans
wer the following questions:
81. How much seed corn have you
for sale?
"'2. Name variety.
SO Grade or condition Of seed?
"a. Price per bushel?
"'5. Is the corn early or late in
maturing?
50. If the general test shows that
your seed corn is low in vitality will
you agree to make a termination test
of the kernels of each individual ear
in order that you may guarantee the
vitality of the seed corn which you Of
fer for sale?
"'7. Will you send such guarantee
-, to each purchaser of your seed corn?'
Hoping you will take hold of this
matter and help to make this inves-
tigation as complete and valuable as
possible, I remain, yours very truly,

MOTHER OF PEARL EFFECT
Charming Arrangement of Colors
That Made Dinner Dress a
"Perfect Triumph"

In soft silk net, chosen in a pale
shade of blue and arranged over one
of the new satins shot very delicately
with palest pink and silver, charm
ing dinner dress Is carried out. The
final coloring arrived at by this shot
effect, with its yelling of pale blue, is
an opalescent tint, with a mother-of-
pearl effect, which is very becoming,
although it is almost impossible to de-
scribe the shade in words. The pale
blue silk net forms first a straight
and fairly full underskirt, arranged
over the pale pink and silver satin.
Then over this skirt there are full
draperies of net, coming from the
waist, crossing in front, and finally
taken around to the back, where they
are caught together with soft chou
of pink and silver tissue.
The low bodice is arranged in the
same way back and front, with cross
ing folds of net, and small chemi-
settle of real Brussels point lace, laid
over silver tissue. The sleeves, which
stop short at the elbow, hang loosely
from the arm, and are made in the
pale-blue silk net, sewn closely with
tiny diamonds, and finished with a
fringe of crystal and silver bugles.

II you need to alter the hip size or
the waist size of the skirt make slight
and more or less equal alterations in
all of the side seams rather than alter
one a great deal. Never alter the CEN
ter back seam. Allow the skirt to set
quite easily over the hips, and allow
the waist size to be a trifle larger
than the belt. You can ease the slight
,fullness in when you are basting, and
the ease will make the skirt set much
