Graham Clark, special agent of the United States department or commerce and labor In (Jermany.j Plauen, Germany, Aug. S. An In dustry which is little known In America la tho manufacture of laco. Asldefrom the Mexican drawn work of the south very little attempt is made by Amer cans to produce high grade lace. On the other hand, many cities on the continent, such as Nottingham, Calais and Plauen, depend largely upon tho manufacture of lace for their employ ment. The city of Plauen last year pro duced embroidery lace to an estimated value of 70,000,000 marks (a mark equals 2S.8 cents). Of this only about one- fifth Is retained In Germany and tho rest Is exported to other countries, especially the United States and Eng land. The modern work may bo said to date from 1857, when the first hand machine for making embroidery was iniroaucea from Switzerland, but It was not until 1881, when Herr Blckel. at Plauen, originated tho Idea of embroidering on tulle, that the specialty was started that has since made Plauen famous. The idea of embroidering on net was later followed by that of embroidering on a material to be chemically removed so as to leave only the emDroiderea lace Itnalf In considering lace work In the Plauen district it may be noted that lace can be made by three separate methods, being known as needle, pillow and machine. Neodle-laco Is made with the needle by hand, and lace so made was called in am times "needle" or -"DOint" lace. Pillow laco is made by Interweaving by hand tho various threads arouna pins stuck In a pillow. Machine made laco Is a quite recent development, but em braces u good many systems. Hand embroidery Is still employed in upper Vogtland, nnd Is made with either a regular sewing needle or with the tambour needle. It Is made on a cotton or linen ground, yoth needle ana pmoW lace are occasionally to ho found also though only to a limited extent. The manufacture of hand embroidered blouses and robes, also of the so-called Battenberg" articles little tapes Joined together bv needlework still flourishes In this section. Elbenstoclt la the largest hand em broidery center, and has a reputation for rich designs and fancy work. To a larger extent It Is noted for its bead embroideries. Polished Bohemian beads of various colors and spangle made made from a mixture of gelatine and cellulose are sewn on bv hand and used to make rtross trimmings, edgings, .kins enllnrn belts, etc. Beau em broideries made on black tulle and bead- work formed on metal tune aiso navo a good sale. The Swiss operative is more skilled i than the German operative, and his I wages In this lino are smaller. From figures obtained at both centers in re garu to this industry It would seem that the German worker receives the sifme number of marks that the Swiss worker does francs (a franc equals 19 3 cents i.

A recent editorial In a metropolitan newspaper complains that the colleges of agriculture In a certain part of the country do not send their graduates back to the farms. It asks: "Mean while, how is agriculture benefited by the agricultural college? The southern farms are avoided by their own children, and more and more the farmers are looking for cheap foreign labor to main tain them. Even tho negro, tho finest field laborer the south has or is ever likely to have, is drifting away into lumber, railroad, mining and sawmill camps not so much because he prefers It as because be is neglected by those who really need him and so forced to look out for himself.

How many Taft Sherman spellbinders phall be em ployed, what they shall say and what they shall be called, wre the themes of a long conference between Chairman Hitchcock and Chief Iivpont of the He publican national commute speakers to day. It was agreed mat within the next fm-re ;iro wlnole universities that have a lesser scope than these leading colleges of agrioul ture. These institu tions mean not one lota less than tho re directing of the practices and ideals of country life, and they are today mak ing the greatest slnele contribution to constructive pedagogical policies, an 1 for tho very good reason that they deal with the commonplace and fundamental facts and necessities of life. Aside from teaching the technical farts of farming, the leading ones of these Institutions have departments In such subjects as rural engineering, landscape gardening, rural economy, rural educntlon; and the fundamental sciences and arts must be added. In other words, the colleges of agriculture are aiming not only to send persons bacjt to farms but to train leaders for tho entire public service so far as it directly affects the open country. It is strange that the species of criti cism to which I refer speaks only of graduates. "How many. If any," the editorial asks "of the graduates of these Institutions ever return to the farm, and to what extent, if any, do we perceive the effect or influence of their education upon the agricultural conditions of the section?" Every one knows that the graduates aro a small part of the entire student body of any institution. Those who do not complete the course are none the loss members of the Institution and carry Its influence abroad. From the agricultural colleges they are likely to go back to the land, for tho public ser vice positions usually are not open to them. Most of these colleges nave short courses, from which the students go Into farming, and they also con duct many kinds of extensive work on the farms. To Enter Public. Service.

Tho Albany Commercial club through its secretary nnd manager, B. I. Uasent, Is to under take the work of securing a creditable exhibit of the county's products to be displayed at the Alaska-Yukon-Paclflo exposition. W. H.

Wisdom, recently visited the city for the purpose of In teresting the commercial club and the. oounty court In making -a display at Seattle In 1908. It is planned to gather a comprehen sive exhibit of grains and grasses. Ap ples, peaches and rears will also .be dis played. Forty or 50 boxes can easily be supplied.

Early Days of Famous Artists. One cannot fall to notice tho fact that In the Jives of famous artists a passion for art has almost Invariably existed from earliest childhood, and It Is therefore Interesting to learn that many celebrated members of this pro- come to men. and It would be a poor lession started their careers in quite graduate who wouin not seize mese or me. prizes If they came in his way. The statement that "not one of them returns to the farm" is not worth much consideration. There aro as many graduates of the leading agricultural colleges going Into agriculture as there are graduates of colleges of law going Into law, or of colleges of medicine be coming physicians. It Is Important that there be a laity educated In law and medicine, and equally In agriculture. The editorial seems to eonvey the Idea that these colleges are to carry most of the responsibility of tho whole agricul tural condition of the south. The condi tion of agriculture Is the result of a long line of social and economic causes. It has come about slowly. The phe nomena of it are worldwide. To expect thnt a few colleges one In each state within the period of some 40 years can arrest an 1 change these conditions Is a marvlous example of faith. These colleges are putting forth great efforts In the Interest of the common people. Thev are trying to meet great nitmberB of very difficult questions, and thev have been doing It In the face of opposition and misunderstanding. This opposition no longer comes from farm ers, in my experience. These Institu tions are meeting a great issue cour ageously, and what they need and de serve from all the people Is help. ..V .'.,.' i J in, .I,,, ..' f ,. . !,, m""1'.
