Their election ends partisanship in the selection of the judiciary and opens a vast and inviting field to the upright members of the profession, who may expect public indorsement without being compelled to seek it by the arts of the partisan. A sociation, after careful deliberation and with the counsel of representatives of the United States Bureau of Forestry, has reported back outlines for a bill directed to the protection from fire of California forests. Under the provisions of this measure, which is to be urged upon the next Legislature for enactment, a State Forester, appointed by the Governor and serving during good be- havior, is to have supervision over deputy fire wardens constituting a permanent fire fighting force. The establishment of the depart- A STATE FORESTRY DEPARTMENT. SPECIAL committee of the California Water and Forest As- ment and its maintenance, as projected by the association’s commit- | tee, will cost the State not over $30,000 annually. This protective measure of the California Water and Forest As- sociation is a worthy cause and one well worth thorough exploitation. During the past three months three-quarters of a million acres of the State’s finest timber land have been swept by devastating fires and thousands of dollars’ worth of property licked up in smoke. Be-| sides the valuable timber ranges in various sections of the Sierra | and Coast ranges that have suffered from forest fires, the beautiful trees of the Big Basin, saved from the woodman’s ax only by the | devoted efforts of a society of nature lovers, have been seared by the flames, and many of them destroyed. It is time that permanent provision against the loss of our forests be made. It is sincerely to be hoped that when the Legislature takes action upon the suggestion that is to come before it the tenure of office of the State Forester will be made in accordance with the recommendation of the association’s committee. If we are to have an efficient official to look after the interests of our forests his office must not be open to the chances of political patronage and subject to continual change in its incumbency. A trained man kept per- manently at the head of affairs can pursue a successful policy; one whose tenure of office is subject to the fluctuations of the political tide can accomplish very little. Tarmies and perishing hopes in the Far East, now finds his at- tention sharply divided by the gloomy reports of his home po- lice. From Finland comes the story of a sudden boldness of action on the part of the secret patriotic societies; Poland reports the open defiance of the separatists; even the downtrodden Jews are IF RUSSIA LOSE. HE harried Czar, who reads day by day the tale of wrecked credited with a general movement of unrest. The thought must inevitably break in upon the Czar, as it has already struck the minds of Old World diplomatists: if Russia lose, what then? Besides the lost prestige in the family of nations and the weight of national shame which must be borne by this autocrat of all empires, the immediate effects of a defeat would, strike in upon the very vitals of the Russian state with a force almost impossible | to estimate. Of the manifold disasters resulting from a decisive trouncing at the hands of Japan, two would be of immediate effect and far-reaching influence. Their potency would doubtless shake Russia to its foundations. The first of these, and one which seems to be giving premonitory warnings of its possible strength even now, would be the blow struck directly at the integrity of the empire. Russia is the great- est assimilator of all the nations. There are races recently conquered which are still in process of governmental digestion. “The Finns, the Poles, Circassians, Armenians, the peoples of Central Asia— these are the elements of Russian dominion yet raw and unbroken, whose spirit of nationality is curbed only, not crushed. How would these peoples receive the abasement of Russian arms, that visible sign of their subjection? Maybe this question even now finds place in the councils of Nicholas. : . n of morals in public life, for it puts the faithful and the un-| ! FATRICK #1. MeCARREN, Becretarv ot War, * COPYRIGHT, 1004, BY SP&FIAL ARRANGEMENT OF THE SAN FRAN R VIOLET IN EVERYTHING. “So many women ask me what is that indescribably dainty odor which | others of their sex shed around them nowadays. It's not a positive per- fume, only just the most refined sweetness imaginable. It is violet, simply violet, but violet in every- thing, perfume, sachets, perfumed flannels for tacking in dress linings, tooth wash, hair tonics, bath tablets, everything,” says a writer in the New York Telegram. | This is the recipe given by a drug- gist for the woman who would be not only as fair as the rose, but radiate an odor equally as sweet. And in spite of the fad for stronger and more pow- erful perfumes, he asserts that women of refinement still use nothing but violet. “But perfume alone won’t yield this delightful but evanescent fragrance,” he continued. *“A woman must take violet for her hygienic text and live up to it faithfully if she would be able to create that mysterious and de- lightful atmosphere of rare flowers about her. “Pgrfume of any sort should never be used profusely. There should be {only a suspicion of the .odor clinging | about the garments, and this is only obtained by the wuse of sachets ! placed in the closets where gowns | are hung or places where under- clothes are kept. Perfumed flannel, which can be purchased in pieces to | suit the customer, should be tacked within dress linings or made up with | the different costumes. | “Pieces of blotting paper should be thoroughly saturated with the per- fume and placed among lingerie or handkerchiefs, so that the free use of the extract will be unnecessary, and | the effect something much more de- lightful. “Another mode of producing a sweet fragrance about the person is what is called a violet sponging. It may sound extravagant, but as a matter of fact it is quite economical. When all the pores have been opened by a thorough rubbing then comes the violet sponging. To a basin of tepid water a generous supply of violet extract is added. A velvet sponge, dipped into the water, is then passed quickly over the surface of the body, and as a result a flowery frag- rance is left behind.” . CHARMING SILK GOWN. A gown of deep bronze pink silk has a charmingly embroidered petticoat of cream lace, the embroidery in French | designs, narrow, pale-blue ribbon, ap- plied in festoon effects, joining clus- ters of chiffon-embroidered flowers in pinks and blues and delicate French colors. Lines of the silk are set in ! fancifully across the lace petticoat. At the sides the silk is carried back to the train in slight panniers, the upper part in corded tucks. More of these cords finish the top of the sleeves. The lines of the gown, with the graceful slope of the train, are charming. TRAVELING COAT.

PARKER + + SYMPATHY The staff on which trouble leans. ! Sympathy is food to a starv- ing heart. Sympathy is two hearts pulling at one load. The least the rich may give, the most the poor can offer. Sympathy is the cream that® rises on the milk of human kind- ness. Sympathy in sorrow’s hour is like the gentle rain to drooping flowers. Love’s healing balm, spread by pity’s tender hand on sorrow’s heari.-wound. Perfect forgetfulness of one’s self in true feeling for the un- happiness of others. Sympathy is the most powerful human magnet for attracting and holding friendship. Sympathy is the blossom grown from the costly bulb called per- sonal suffering. Sympathy is a well toned in- | | strument that readily responds to notes of weal or woe. “A heart at leisure from itself, To soothe and sympathize.” + * | which just escapes the ground, and is lined with a light-green satin. The | neck is finished with a round yoke, | which has four tabs; this of white| cloth embroidered in various shades of green and black. The sleeves are of on top. The wide turn-up cuff is edged with the embroidered cloth. CANVAS YOKE. The heavy canvas yoke is quite a pretty feature of early fall. It is made of cream colored canvas cut in little scallops around the edge, for it is an overhanging yoke finished like a cape collar. The bound with silk, and each is worked with a little flower. A big scallop of the canvas hangs over each shoulder like an epaulette. This style can be recommended to any one who is mak- ing over an old dress or planning a new one. SALT WATER FOR NERVES A woman undergoing treatment for that most distressing of all ailments, nervous prostration, has found help, among other remedies tried, in the use of salt water in her daily cold bath. She soaks a rough washcloth in al strong solution of alt, dries it, and rubs vigorously with it every morning till the flesh is in a glow.—Harper’s Bazar.

P TR R e ST TR | BUTTERFLIES FOR SICK. Many people have sent flowers from their summer gardens to the sick in the hospitals, but perhaps only one person has had the idea of sending a box of butterflies along with the flowers. The astically of how it came to her. “I was gathering flowers for my hos- pital box on a day when my garden seemed to be filled with butterflies. As I picked the flowers I often stopped in my work to watch them. “As I stood holding a big bunch of sweet peas a very gorgeous butterfly | came hovering near it. I got so much pleasure watching him that it sudden- ly flashed into my mind that the sick children would like to watch him, too. So I caught him carefully, so as not to hurt his wings, and went indoors for a box to put him in. I realized that a whole ward of children could not watch one butterfly, so I caught a lot of them. “The nurses told me that the chil- dren found great delight in watching bunch of flowers to another.” FOR EVENING. Net rivals lace. Pallettes remain. Applique is good. Needlework prevails. Chenille is not neglected. Pale blue is much liked. Apricot is a favered color. Mousseline is one of the leaders. Pale biscuit tints are almost white. There are embroidered taffeta I motifs. Some affect a touch of American Beauty. Marabout is a feature both in hats and shoulder wraps. Copper and gold spangles appear on a cinnamon ground. ATTENTION, THIN WOMEN A French chemist recently gave an | interesting dccount of the value of su- !gar as a food in certain conditions of {1l health. In some experiments he curried out he found that by giving | from 1% to 10 ounces per day to ema- ing 3% ounces per day was the re- sult, some of the patients even gain- | ing over one pound each day. From his observations Dr. Toulouse found that the sugar was most beneficial when given in conjunction with a milk d:et. GOLD BRAID TRIMMING. vet bands headed with a cording. And each band is treated a little differently from the one above it. The gold braid is put on straight, or in swirls, or in scollops, or in a conven- tional Grecian key design. This gives the gown a handsome appearance. BUTTERFLY MOTIFS. Large butterfly motifs are some- thing of an oddity. They are of renais- sance, with a scattering of spangles to lend iridescence. These motifs come in all the popular colors—brown, coque de roche, purple and blue. DIDN'T WANT HER TO KNOW. Rev.

For this occasion all available space was utilized, the club having been transformed Into a grove of trees and flowers. The bride’s attendants were Miss Minnie Newman, maid of honor, and Miss May New- man, bridesmaid. Dr. Sanford Blum served his brother as best man. The bridal party passed up the broad stair- way to the parlors, which were lavish- Iy trimmed in gariands of white cos- mos, while immense bunches of white chrysanthemums and bamboo adorned the corners and doorway between the rooms. Here the ceremony took place in the presence of 150 guests. Dr. Jacob Voorsanger officiating. The bride was gowned in exquisite white satin chif- fon cloth, her bridesmaids wearing soft white silk with touches of pink. Following the rites, the bridal party and guests repaired to the dining hall on the third floor, passing continually through howers of foliage and flowers, to a destination of no less floral lux- uriance. Tables gleaming with can- delabra also bore decorations of many- hued flowers. The walls were nearly invisible under their loads of ever- greens, consisting of wild vines and reat branches of manzanita.

How, lhen.‘ can a child be blamed for fussing be-| fore the machine? asks a writer in the | Pittsburg Press. That some mothers| expeet a child to show more patience | and more bravery and less seif-con- | sciousness than they could show is evi- | dent from the following: | In a studio, before a camera, sat a| three-year-old child. She had not been angelic; no amount of prejudice toward | the child couid make any ome think that. But when the little one wept, the | mother shook it, boxed it and spanked | it to make it sit up and look pleasant. Another mother, who was a firm be- liever in the “rest cure,” put her five- year-old boy to sleep every afternoon. | Every day he rebelled. Every day he was spanked emphatically to produce | the desired “sleepy” condition of mind. How can mothers be so blind to the mental effect of punishment under either of these conditions? Think of it for a moment! What is| the effect of a whipping? Can you re- the slipper? Oh, mothers who punish children to make them sit pleasant before the camera, look back thirty years! What | would you have felt as a child had you been punished to “make you look pleas- | ant”? Nor is it necessary to go back to childhood to reason out the effect of such punishment. Let us suppose that to-night you are sleepless and that some one who con- sidered herself privileged should whip you to make you sleep. A strange way to quiet even a grown woman, you would think. Of course the child sleeps after punishment. He cries himself weary and from sheer ex- haustion falls to sleep. It is supposed, however, that the afternoon nap is given for the good of the child. It is more injury than good when the de- sire to sleep must be induced by such heroic method as a whipping. GLAMOUR. I have read so long in the Book of tie Brave, I hear the tramp of their feet In the quiet village street. I catch the sound of an echoing cheer, Blown down the night wind, faintly clear, And the drum’s unfaltering beat. 1 have read so long in the Book of the Brave, Their flags go streaming by, Sharp comes the sentry’s cry: The shaded light of my study lamp Seems a low glimmer from some still camp, Where the sleeping soldiers lie. I have read so long in the Book of the Brave, T march where the heroes are; On my breast I feel a sear. The gloom is cleft by a beacon light, And behold—the bivouac star! —Lulu Whedon Mitchell, in the October Century. NEWEST SLANG WORD. Chefu has been added to our vernac- ular. In the East when anybody re- lates some astounding tale the cry of “That's a Chefu!” greets it. As Chefu has turned out some of the most ter- rific rumors war was ever blessed with, it wouldn't be strange if the name of the enterprising place was thus im- mortalized. So, if you don’t care to say to a man frankly you're a liar, why Jjust call him a Chefu. He will appre- ciate it just as well. Besides, it sounds less rude.—Kansas City Star. As spectacular shows such road races as the struggle for the Vander- bilt Cup may be interesting enough to be kept up indefinitely, but as tests of the possibilities of the machines they are quite unnecessary.—Cleveland | & level teaspodh of sait.
