MAN MAKER OF W0MAN's CARE
Meanest Part of It, Says Writer, Is That He Makss Her Look Funny,
 Then Laughs.

Every now and then some writer makes fun of wonan's attire, not req. lizing that man gets up these skirts, shoes. spats and hats for woman; and the meanest part of it Is that after man has sold woman her togs and made her look funny he laughs at her, says writer in the New York Sun.
 Some day woman will see how beau tiful she Is and that man cunningly tries to make her look homely and awkward, and when that day comes 10 skirts that are likely to shrink into a girdle will mar her lines of natural grace no shoes, no spats will spoil the beauty of her feet; but the classic folds of Grecian draperies will reveal her heretofore hidden symmetry and form under them her sandal toes will nodestly peep out. Upon her crown ing glory the classic ribbon or the aurel wreath will rest and bring out the beauty of her brow.
 Then perhaps man, relieved of this responsibility for woman, will have q title time to see that his costume is lust bit ridiculous.

The fact that the French export trade in silks was considered prosper ous during the first half of this year is evidence, even when the rise in prices is discounted, of the recovery from the effects of the war which the Lyons silk manufacturing industry has made. Returns as reported by the British consul at Lyons give the total value as 2l0,9G6,000 francs, S40,7l6.- 1881. compared with 15S,37T, HI francs ($305G6. 7GD, and 206911,000 francs (SS9,933 S23), respectively. for the cor responding periods in 1915 and 1914. As compared with the first six months of 19l5 there was thus m increase of more than 5O,0000O0 francs in the first halt of this year. and an increase of more than 100000 francs, compared with the corresponding six months of 1914.

RUSSlA'S PEASANT BANKS.

in IS months of 'water-wagon' life there have been founded 1S.000 peas ant cooperative banks and 1000 peas ant cooperative supply stations or stores says Ivan Narodny, secretary of the Eussian-American-A cor poration in the New York Tribune. "These peasant banks are just now forming a central administration, d bank of banks, in Moscow, composed of delegates from provincial banks. The government has not yet been abe to grasp the whole extent of these De cullar institutions of the peopls, both sporadically and suddenly looming up as something gigantic in national economic life. The cash capital of these peasant banks amounts to 800 100000 rubles, while the value of their accessories. real estate, securities, etc, reaches l,00000o,000."
 Most of the hatred against the Rus sian Jew. he tells Us, originated in the lending of money by Jews to peasants. The peasant banks abolish automati- cally all Russian Jewish troubles.
 If the cZar had done nothing but abolish alcohol" says the secretary. 'he would loom up in history as one of the great reformers."

Much of Canada Unexplored.

A paper upon the 3nexplored parts of Canada has been recently prepared by Charles Camsel of the Canadian ge- ologic survey, in which he points out that the unexplored area of Canada Is greater than Is generally under stood. In estimating the area of this country, he follows the plan of cOnsid- on each side of an explorers route. On this basis the unexplored area amounts to about 901 900 square miles, and this does not take account of blocks under 4,000 square miles in ex- tent. This is about 2S per cent of the total area of Canada, excluding Arc tic iSasds.

WISE WORDS.

NO temperance advocate in the world has spoken wiser words than those uttered by the German emperor to the naval cadets" said Secretary ot the Navy Daniels, speaking before the national convention of the Catho- lie Total Abstinence union. The words referred to, spoken November 2l, 1910, at the dedication of the new naval academy at Murvik. are in tbe light of the events of the past two years most significant. We quote part of the address:
 AS you will observe in the course of your time on board. the service in my navy has reached d degree of strain which can hardly be surpassed. To be able to endure this enormous pressure in time of peace without wear ing out, so that you may be fresh when a serious call comes, is your duty. The next war, the next naval encoun- ter, will require of you sound nerves. These are undermined by alcohol. en- dangered from youth up, by it's use. You Will later have opportunity to see the marine targets and the ac- tion of modern guns on ships, and will be able, therefore, to infer the con ditions in battle. You will see hor- rible devastation and all kinds of pie lures. Then the word will be strong nerves and cool heads. The nation which drinks the least alcohol will be the winner!''

ONE THING WELL.

quality of great value is the abii- ity to concentrate the mind on what one is doing. If problem is to be solved, an intricate business proposi- ton to be made clear, piece of mech anism to be understood or any task to be accomplished, time and energy are saved, and the task is better done. by concentration, says Milwaukee Journal. If man allows his mind to be distracted by external things. inn portant points and helpful ideas are ikeiy to be overlooked, with unsatis- factory results. Beecher said: An intense hour will do more than dreamy years" Charles w. Eliot says: Ut IS good rule to endeavor hour by hour and week after week to learn to work hard. It is not we'll to take four minutes to do what you can ac- compiish in three. It is well to learn to work intensely" The old adage. Work when you work and play when sou play IS rounded on sound sense, and if understood and acted on will prove a great advantage. Whatever IS before you to do, set yourself in- tently at it. The habit of concentra- ton may be cultivated even by the most volatile. A constant endeavor to acquire the habit will bring about sur prising results and such as will be found of value Trying to carry on too many kinds of business at the same time has proved many a mans ruin. With too many irons in the fire some will burn, and it is more than likely that it will prove to be those that least well can be spared"

According to report of the vice consul at Havana, raw pasture in that country is selling at S15 to S20 an acre. The beef raised upon 1t is worth 6A to cents pound on the hoof. It is plain that the Cuban cattleman Is making no more money than his neighbor in the United States. Yet good number of ranchmen from this country are mak- ing plans for the purchase of land there. The success of certain Ameri- can interests in growing cattle in Ven ezuela has encouraged others to make the venture outside the confines of the United States. All of this is an indi- cation that in this country the day of the big ranch is passed. If we are to have an adequate meat supply it must come from the farm of average size where the raising of live stock goes hand in hand with the tilling of the soil, says Houston Post. Only in that way are our farms to be kept fer tile and our cities fed.

WHERE DOES SWEDEN STAND?

Germanys hold on the Swedish gov

much evidence since the beginning Of
the war.
\ few days since, at Il luncheon
given by the Chamber of Commerce of
this city, former Ambassador Gerard
disclosed in a most interesting way
the sympathetic relations between the
German and Swedish governments.
He said that Sweden would have
joined sides with the central powers
but for an incident which might be
termed War Exhibit No. in Sweden.
Through Mr.. Gerard an exchange Of
hoEclcssly disabled prisoners was ar
ranged between the Central powers
and the Allies. This exchange took
place in Sweden, and when the people
of that country saw the thousands aud
thousands of human wrecks from the
war their eyes were opened. They saw
trainloads OF blind, insane and horribly
manned prisoners of war; and after
that there was no chance of a govern
ment so sympathetic as Sweden driv-
ing its people into war on the side OF
Germany.
Since the disclosures at Bucnos
Aires form a dispute which is to be
settled BY Argentina, Germany and
Sweden, the position of the United
States becomes that Of an onlookcr in

Morris. a foreign minister of exceed

he expended large sums of his inhCri-
