New York.-The first handkerchief

square Of silk, the principal use OF
which was to wipe the moisture from
the brow. From Persia it passed to
Greece and then by the way of Rome
spread slowly throughout Europe

people Of wealth and was used for

their surface, into the homes of many
who would otherwise have remained in
blissful ignorance In like manner
were circulated the announcements of
the treaty Of Utrecht and of Marlbor-
ough's victories over the French. In
l745 handkerchiefs stamped with the
portraits of the young pretender's
leading adherents were issued with a
view of facilitating capture Of the
rebels. In retaliation the Stuart party
printed other handkerchiefs, that the
rough likeness of George II depicted
thereon, might be put to ignoble use.
Naturally handkerchiefs kept pace
with other extravagances in dress, be-
ing oftentimes edged with costly lace
and embroidered with initials, armorial
bearings, love notices and sundry in

and rude health.
Jewels, as might have been expected,
entered largely into the decorative
schemes employed in these delicate
samples of lace work. Nine. du Barry

Types Differ in Different Parts OF
Country.
Trees Grow to Large Size on the
Southeastern Coast but in the In
terror Have a Much Smaller
Development.

Washington - The difference be-
tween forest types in different parts
! of Alaska are as sharp as those be-
tween the topographic and climatic,
and, of course, depend upon them.
The coast forests of southern Alaska
are the northernmost extension of the
coast type of Washington and Brit
ish Columbia. The interior forests
are an extension of the interior Cana
dian forests.
On the coast of southeastern Alaska
trees grow to large size; in the in
terror the timber is much smaller, The
higher mountain areas are completely
above timber line. Climatic conditions
in the region adjacent to Bering sea
and on the Arctic slope make forest
growth altogether impossible so there
are great stretches of tundra whose
vegetation consists chiefly of moss,
sedges, and a few shrubs. Moss may
be said to be the garment of Alaska,
and layers of it 12 to IS inches thick
are not at all uncommon either on the
coast or in the interior.
Making reductions for some barren
areas, it is estimated that the total
forest and woodland area of Alaska
is approximately 100,000000 acres,
or about 27 per cent of the land sur
face Of the territory. Of these, about
2O,OO0,OOO acres may possibly bear
