"Man once looked up to woman and regarded her as his superior, but in her great desire to be equal with man and to experience the sensation public honor and leadership bring, for woman's two greatest weaknesses, and her love of flattery and her desire to know all things and to explore and fine out the 'why' of everything, these desires have lowered her in man's estimation and now is her time to get back upon the thone and reign queen in the home or wherever the Dispenser of all Good shall design her to be. She should arise, go forward, ascending at every step, till she reaches her God, for she is man's glory and he will come to her. She should aim to be a true woman, stout-hearted and brave. Be one of the brightest of gifts God ever gave. Be a woman of smiles not a woman of tears. Be a woman of hope, not a woman of fears. Be a woman of joy when sorrow assails. Be a help, not a clog, when misfortunes prevail. Never mind if mistakes your life's path should throng; never mind a few joils as you journey along. Be true to yourself and be true to your God. Be a home joy, a solace, the best that you can. "Oh, be what God made you, a help- mate to man." SENTENCE SERMONS. A liar needs no label. Life is the laboratory of religion. Our phrases are but the garments of truth. A day without a good deed leaves you in debt. The best men are always looking for the best ment. He became the Man of Sorrows for the sorrows of men. Happiness is never picked up on the bargain counter. The road of prejudice never leads to the realm of truth. It is a cheap makeshift to mock at what you cannot make. You cannot carry a crooked rule along the straight road. It is only to-morrow's burdens that break the back of to-day. A brotherly boost is often worth a whole lot of sisterly sympathy. The more of a man the saint is the more of a saint the man will be. Keep your complaints out of your heart and they will die of neglect. A man has no business with religion who has no religion with his business. You cannot get up an orchestra composed of people who blow their own horns. It's no use a man's trying to be holy unless he has made up his mind to be honest. Flowery language is just as likely to indicate a seedy character as a saintly one. You cannot pray to your Father while you are figuring on preying on your brother. It makes all the difference whether doubt is your terminus or but a station on your track — Chicago Tribune. LITTLE THOUGHTS. Riches come better after poverty than poverty after riches. Most of the things that seem too good to be true are not. Love is a fire that is dreaded by those who have been burned. A BIG MARRIAGE SERVICE. American Missionary United Thirty-one Couples at Once. The Rev. A. W. Pitzer set a pretty good pace last week when he married three couples at once, but he is still twenty-eight laps behind the record, which is held by an American missionary on the island of Apemana. This strange wedding, where thirty-one couples were united at once, was solemnized in 1882. All the principals were converted heathens, and so well were the marriage bonds tied that ten years later not one of the couples was divorced. The great wedding was one of necessity, rather than choice. All the couples had signified their intention to be married with Christian rites. Plans were made for separate weddings, but a missionary ship was waiting for the teacher who was to marry the converts, and an approaching storm made it necessary for him to read the ceremony with great haste. If the natives had not agreed to engage in a wholesale ceremony they would have been condemned in six months more of single blessedness, so the great party joined right hands and assumed the solemn obligations according to their new faith.—Washington Times. THE TELEPHONE IN AUSTRALIA. How the Widely Scattered "Squatters" Talk to Each Other. An ingenious use of the telephone has recently modified the intense monotony of farm life in the "squatter districts" of Australia. It would not have paid to lay wires from farm to farm, for they are often separated by many miles of open country; but some ingenious person hit upon the idea of using the wire fences used on all the farms to convey the current. The lonely squatter and his family can now indulge in a friendly chat with any one of a hundred families scattered around within a radius of fifty or sixty miles. Games of whist and chess are played at night over the telephone by clubs organized for that purpose. Some Queser Nicknames Some Queer Nicknames. The residents of many of the English counties have nicknames, the meaning and origin of which is not always obvious. Why the inhabitants of Liverpool should be called "Dicky Sams" is not very clear. But nearly all the counties have their distinctive nicknames. A Cornishman is "Cousin Jack" to the natives of the adjacent counties; the Lancashire men are "Tim Bobbins"; while the Lincolnshire folk have long been called "Yellow Bellies," after the frogs which once abounded there. Yorkshiremen, again, are everywhere "Tykes," a nickname the etymology of which is not easy to trace; nor is it less difficult to say why the inhabitants of Suffolk should be designated "Dumplings," those of Kent "Hoga," or the isle of Wight people "Calves."

Virtue may be its own reward, but some people make a trade-mark of it. It may not be easier to coax a woman than it is to drive her, but it is safer. If everybody told the truth in this world, what a miserable old place it would be! KANSAS CITY MO., FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 1904. HONORS A NEGRO DELEGATE. Episcopal Conference Extends Time Limit on His Address—The Rev. The delegates in attendance on the first annual conference of the Sixth Missionary district, in Grace church, accorded an unusual reception yesterday afternoon to the Rev. Thomas G. Harper of England, the only Negro speaker on the program. After Dr. Harper had spoken for twenty minutes, the agreed limit, the applause continued to such length that the conference, voted, unanimously, to suspend the rules and allow him to speak as long as he wished. His remarks were frequently interrupted by applause. Dr. Harper's subject was "Work Among the Colored Races." He has been twice around the world, he said, and three times through the British possessions, and the more he studied the subject the more he had become convinced that the English speaking people had much more to learn than some of the other races. NEED OF MORE NEGRO PREACH- ERS "The English speaking race," he said, "is filled with ideas of national, commercial and denominational supremacy. Like all other conquering and subjugating powers, however, it had never sought to uplift, in a moral, religious sense the people whom it conquered. It should make all these results of conquests a part of its great teaching power. There are sixty-five negro priests in this country," the speaker said, "probably fifteen of them natives of the West Indies, the others native negroes of this country. The tendency has been to give the negro a little education and let him do something for his race. "When you see a man, black or white," he continued, "who possesses refinement, intelligence and education, you cannot but see in him the image of the Creator. Although my face is black I am an Englishman and I have tried for twenty years to be a faithful, diligent and humble priest." Dr. Harpe rurged a more judicious selection of men for the priesthood, among the negroes, and pleaded for more courteous treatment of the priests and of the laity in that branch of the church. Bishop Hare of South Dakota was chairman for the afternoon. Give us more Harpers. We speak of self-made men as though they were miracles. In referring to them as such as mean that, in spite of difficulties, they have attained remarkable excellence. But every worthy individual is self-made, by the grace of God. Even under the most favorable circumstances a man, if he is to amount to anything, must make himself. It, therefore, behooves us to go to work upon ourselves. We ought to take ourselves more seriously in the highest possible sense. We have capacities. God has made us for some good; He has given us each one talent at least. The sons of God, we do not belong to the rubbish pile of the universe. If we will take oursives in hand—if we will be ourselves and not try to be somebody else—if we will serve our town mission—if we will faithfully and honestly accept and meet the situation as we find it, we will surprise oursives sooner or later when the results will begin to appear.

In order to be popular forget to say a good deal. A big heart usually goes with a big body, but a big head rarely does. Wisdom is always conceded to a rich man until he loses his riches. The most depressing humidity is that caused by the tears of a woman. Do not emphasize your own virtues by enlarging on the fallings of others. A safe way to judge a man is to certain just what friends he doesn't make. A genius is a man who refuses to believe in the impossibilities of other people. No marriage ceremony has ever been gone through without a hitch—of bride and groom. Some men who take a post-graduate course are, in the long run, glad to become letter carriers. The claims to wisdom of owls and a multitude of men rest upon their looks and nothing more. The heartache of many a widow has been tempered by the reflection that she looks her best in black. A fool is generally a person who detects your faults while you are in the act of calling attention to his own. To get rid of a bore, ask him to repeat his longest and favorite story twice. Even he cannot stand that. The success of an amateur gardener often depends upon the number and the appetites of his neighbor's chickens. The grievance of not a few women against their husbands is that the latter give them no ground for grievances. Only a smart man can conceal from a woman the fact that he isn't as smart as he would wish her to think he is. One of the curious things about a man who wants to borrow money from you to-day is his eager determination to repay it to-morrow. There are three stages in the existence of the average man when he is of particular interest to his community; viz. at his birth, marriage and funeral. — Success. FIGS AND THISTLES. Honors do not create honor. You cannot amble to heaven. Works of love are words of life. Empty vessels never know enough to be silent. We are all liable to no tripped up by our triumphs. Only the grateful heart grows in time of goodness. Selfishness in our worship puts sulphur on the altar. When the heart is God's abiding place his peace is always there. Spiritual things are all mystery where the Spirit has the mastery. It may be that all our weeping has its part in the oratorio of the universe. It is poor policy to try to avoid your premiums with the heavenly company. Death may mark the difference between the walking and the winging of the soul.—Ram's Horn. Money is the greatest trouble a man has when he hasn't any. Words are feminine; deeds masculine. If you fear God you will not fear man. You cannot have harmony without noise. A pig won't spare even the most beautiful fruit. Words won't make the wheels of a mill go round. Fire, water and governments don't understand mercy. If you don't obey your mother you'll obey your stepmother. If you follow a crow long enough you will light on carrion. If you do not keep your tongue at rest it is often in contact with an aching tooth.—The independent. BRIEF TRAILERS The largest room in the world is the room for self-improvement. Love will not speak evil of any; but neither will it speak good of all. People who do the best they can to-day have the way open before them to do better to-morrow. It les a great misfortune not to have enough wit to speak well or not enough judgment to keep silent. It is a great strain on some men's eyes when they look for perfection in themselves. There are people who seem to take more interest in our affairs than we do ourselves. The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor the man perfected without trials. If we had no failings ourselves, we should not take so much pleasure in finding out those of others.—London Answers. CHURCH AND CLERGY Iowa Wesleyan college is now free from debt. The late Bishop Webber was the first Anglican bishop to find a grave in Queensland. Pope Pius X. reads and understands French, but he cannot converse readily in that language. The Rev R. B. Miller of Boston has accepted the chair of biblical literature in the Red River Valley university, North Dakota. As a memorial of the late Queen Victoria a new carved oak pulpit of English workmanship is being placed in Whippingham church. Abijah Whitney, the oldest male member of Plymouth church, Brooklyn, and one of its founders, died recently at the age of 90. The Rev. Dr. B. W. Hutchinson, who in June resigned the principalship of Genesee Wesleyan seminary, has been elected president of the West Virginia State Normal school, at a salary of $2,100. RANDOM REMARKS It is said that J. Pierpont Morgan is still wearing his straw hat. Coarse work, but we'll probably have to stand for it. New Orleans boasts of a great curiosity—a man who once sat in one of those New York Sun poker games and lived to tell it. If the humorous posters put up by the sophomores at Madison can be taken as a criterion, a chair of humor would help some. NUMBER 43 LEXINGTON NEWS.

The sounds of war shall shrill no more. The way be clear of wrath. Bell the Lord the Lord. Steel Thou my will with might. And in the ring of battling Grant me the strength to fight! I do not pray for arms. Nor shields to cover me. What though I stand with empty hand, State me the cowards fear. Questioning wrong or right. Lord among these mine enemies Grant me the strength to fight! I do not pray that Thou Shall grant me victory; Eughow to know that from my foe I shall be braised and banned, Beaten and bruised and banned, Flung like a broken sword. Grant me this thing for conquering— Let me dies fighters, Lord! —Theodosia Garrison. "Before I was afflicted I wont stray; but now have I kept Thy word."—Ps. exs. 67. Why we are so constituted that nobility of character can only be attained through the discipline of sorrow is as yet an unsolved problem. That we must needs travel over the corduroy road of difficulty, successive obstacles, harsh circumstances and continuous effort if we would reach the gate of Paradise or fit ourselves to cross its threshold is the moral puzzle of the universe. In our unwisdom we think the macadamized and level highway a better means of progress, and are astounded when told that smooth roads make small men. He who would get a glimpse of the widest landscape must climb the hill from which alone it can be seen. That is the first law in the state book of Providence. A large fortune is the worst accident that can befall a youth, for his temptations are stronger than his ambitions. The boy with money inherited from his father, and, therefore, with nothing to work for, is already half conquered by evil passions. The youth with a high heart and wholesome poverty receives his inheritance from God, and God's gifts are better than man's. God's denials are the best part of His providence. He gives nothing without its price, and that price is toll. We find fault at first, but later on discover that what is worth having is worth working for; that work gives dignity to the soul and is the equivalent of education. That is the secret of omniscience which we find it hardest to learn. The men who live in marble and bronze because they have done such service that we cannot forget them, and we cannot fain express our gratitude by means of the sculptor's art, are they who have borne the brunt of circumstance. It is also true that personal sorrows, as the loss of dear ones, have an uplifting tendency. Bereavement forces the soul to recognize its destiny. Tears are sometimes telescopes with which other worlds are viewed. Aching hearts feel their helplessness and then call on God for the comfort that is not within reach. They see visions, have revelations and doors are opened the key to which is forged out of some grief. The ties of earth are loosened that we may be bound by stronger cords to heaven. The cruelty of death imbues us with a longing for immortality. The surgeon cuts in order to save the body, and when it is all over we bless the knife. God wounds because a wounded soul needs sympathy and consolation, and can only find them in thoughts of another life. An artist had just finished a splendid fresco on the ceiling of a cathedral. Pleased with his work, he stepped back to note the general effect. Forgetful of the dizzy height, he was about to take one step more—the fatal step—when his quick-witted assistant dashed a mass of color on the picture and ruined it. The painter sprang forward—his life was saved. In like manner, God's severest discipline is always merciful. The only purpose is to compel us to see what He wishes us to see, and to see it as He sees it. If He ruins our hopes or gives our love a wrench or sends the dread Messenger to our household, the sad song we sing brings the angels nearer, and from the ashes of consumed desires springs a faith which draws the curtain aside and shows us a better life. That God chastens because He loves is a hard saying, but they have been chastened can oftimes find in their agony a treasure which happiness is too blind to discover. The end to be sought is largeness of soul, and this—so strangely are we made—is to be attained, not by having our own way, but by giving up our way and adopting God's way.—Geo. H. Hepworth. Giving Oneself to the Lord During one of Mr. Moody's early visits to England, as he was about to retrain, a friend said to him, "The world has yet to see what God could do with a man who would let him use him." This made such a deep impression upon Mr. Moody that he was led to put himself in the hands N of the Lord for service as never before, and the blessings which attended the great evangelists' teaching, in some measure, let the world see how much God could use a man who is willing to be used. A life given to Jesus Christ as Savior, and that life consecrated to him for service, with a realization of the mighty power of prayer, will certainly accomplish great things for God. Past all human comprehension would be the spread of the Gospel to the uttermost part of the earth if the whole church stood ready to be used by the Holy Spirit, given in answer to prayer. He Doeth All Things Well He who hath appointed thee thy task will proportion it to thy strength, and thy strength to the burden which He lays upon thee, wrote Dr. Pusey. He who maketh the seed grow thou knowest not how and seest not, will, thou knowest not how, ripen the seed which He hath sown in thy heart, and leaven thee by the secret working of His good Spirit. Thou mayest not see the change thyself, but He will gradually change thee, make thee another man. Only yield thyself to His molding hand, as clay to the potter, having no wishes of thine own, but seeking in sincerity, however faint, to have His will fulfilled in thee, and He will teach thee what to pray for, and He will give thee what He teacheth thee. He will retrace His own image on thee, line by line, effacing by His grace and gracious disclelling the marks and spots of sin which have defaced it. Put Your Trust in Him. The story is told of a poor colored woman who earned a precarious living by daily labor, but who was a joyous, triumphant Christian. "Ah, Nancy," said a gloomy Christian lady to her one day, who almost disapproved of her constant cheerfulness, and yet envied it, "Ah, Nancy, it is all well enough to be happy now; but I should think the thought of your future would sober you. Or, suppose, for instance, you should have a spell of sickness, and be unable to work; or suppose your present employers should move away, and no one else should give you anything to do; or suppose——" "Stop!" cried Nancy. "I never supposes. Do Lord is my Shepherd, and I know I shall not want. And, honey," she added to the gloomy lady, "it's all dem supposes as is makin' you so misble. You'd better give dem all up, and jest trust de Lord." The Highest Heroism. There is a yet harder and higher heroesm—to live well in the quiet routine of life; to fill a little space because God wills it; to go on cheerfully with a petty round of little duties, little occasions; to accept unmurmuringly a low position; to smile for the joys of others when the heart is aching; to banish all ambition, all pride, and all restlessness in a single regard to our Savior's work. To do this for a lifetime is a greater effort, and he who does this is a greater hero than he who for one hour storms a breach, or for one day rushes onward undaunted in the flaming front of shot and shell. His works will follow him. He may not be a hero to the world, but he is one of God's heroes; and though the builders of Nineveh and Babylon be forgotten and unknown, his memory shall live and be blessed. Work Among the Sailors. Montreal has a Catholic Sailors' club which provides innocent amusements and a library for the sailors who pass part of the year in port and who number many thousands. In 1893 it was founded and from the first has been a success. Three years after nearly 13,000 scamen visited the rooms in a twelfemonth. The club occupies a fine stone building facing the harbor. Billiards, cards, checkers, chess and other games are provided. A concert is given weekly by resident and seaman talent which is always largely attended. False Humility. The real and solid value in God's eyes of holy desires is not half understood by us; they could be nourished so easily, and yet so rarely are encouraged in our inner life. This happens through a miserable shyness with God, a sort of false humility, which tempts each one to say, as it were: "It is absurd in me, incongruous in one so bad, to utter such desires or to pretend to them." This is not humility—it is an unholy and detestable diffidence. Overlooking Others' Errors. The little I have seen of the world teaches me to look upon the errors of others in sorrow, not in anger, said Longfellow. When I take up the history of one heart that has sinned and suffered and represent to myself the struggle and temptation it has passed through, the brief pulsations of joy, the feverish inquietude of want, the desertion of friends—I would fain leave the soul of my fellow-man with him from whose hand it came. Gentleness Always Best. Seek to mingle gentleness in all your rebukes; bear with the infirmities of others; make allowances for constitutional frailties; never say harsh things if kind things will do as well. THAT ENTERING WEDGE. FREE TRADE PROTECTION PROSPERITY THE SAVING FACTOR THE SAVING FACTOR CHIEF CAUSE OF CONTINUED BUSINESS PROPERITY. Value of Protective Tariff More Thoroughly Tried and More Completely Demonstrated Than at Any Period in Our History. It was the Springfield Republican which said nearly six months ago that "the tariff is now on trial as the great causative and saving factor in the business prosperity." The Republican was right. How well and successfully has the wisdom of Nelson Dingley and his associates been vindicated. That our present tariff was the great causative factor of our present prosperity few even among free traders will question. The fact was proved and settled long ago. That it is the great saving factor of our prosperity has also been proved and settled. Fear of any financial or commercial panic is now past, although we have experienced causes enough to provoke a dozen crises had it not been for the great saving factor of our protective tariff. The trial has been prolonged and thorough. The pessimistic free trade press has made the most of every fall in the prices of our securities, every petty failure, every shut down of a factory or industry, even though caused by a strike. Most alarming statements have been made, some containing but a small portion of the truth, and yet the people have refused to be frightened, the commercial world has not abated its confidence in the situation, and prosperity has lost none of its hold, simply and solely because we are living under protective tariff that was not only the causative factor of our prosperity, but is also the saving factor of that prosperity. There has been no similar period in the existence of the nation when we have been sorely tried, commercially and financially, as during the past six months, and yet so far as the tariff has any influence upon the situation not a single man has been THAT ENTER RECIPROCITY FREE TRADE PR PR thrown out of work and not a single wage has been reduced. The strikes, particularly in the building industries or the country, have resulted in the idleness of more than a hundred thousand men for a greater or less portion of time during the past few months. The exorbitant high price of raw cotton has made its use almost prohibitive, and it has been necessary recently to meet this enhanced price of raw material by a slight reduction in the wages of operatives. The falling off in building and constructive enterprises has reduced to some extent the demand upon our iron and steel industries, and yet the business being done is very satisfactory. The railroads of the country have been for months, and are still, unable to handle all the business offered them, and the gross and net earnings of nearly every road in the country is still around high water mark regardless of the fact that the quotations of the stock of those roads have fallen in some cases from 20 to 50 per cent. It may be that the holiday business will not be the greatest we have known, and may fall off a trifle from that of last year and the year or two preceding. It will, however, be tremendous in volume, and will show that the income earners of the country have still a large surplus to spend in harmony with the sentiment of the season. The outlook for another year is bright indeed. With the promise that no further change shall be made in our tariff law beyond the Cuban reciprocity treaty, we are sure of a huge volume of employment and a maintenance of the high wages now enjoyed by all. Never in our history was a tariff law so thoroughly tried and so thoroughly vindicated as has been the law under which we are now living. There is no reason why, for a decade or even for a generation to come, in spite of all precedents, we should not continue to enjoy prosper- --- ity, providing that we do not further reduce our duties. Moreover there is no reason why we should not enjoy still increased prosperity if we should increase the duties upon commodities, which would insure a home production instead of importations on commodities amounting to nearly half a billion dollars annually. Much as we need greater protection to certain industries, it is perhaps better on the whole that we do not change the tariff in any respect for some time to come. Let it remain as it is, the great saving factor, as it has been the causative factor of our prosperity, which need not cease so long as we are wise enough to let well enough alone. Nullification. "To urge reciprocity is to confess that a forbidding tariff is not good for nations, as compared with a lesser restriction; that the tariff which excludes is not good in comparison with the tariff which admits. Reciprocity acknowledges the disadvantages and injuries resulting from absolute 'protection' or exclusion. It is a qualification."—St. Louis Republic. No fault can be found with this definition by a free trade newspaper. It is obviously and unquestionably true that to enter upon the system of reciprocity in competing products is to declare that protection is wrong. Protection contemplates the exclusion of competitive products. In contemplates that the Republic shall do its own work. Reciprocity in competitive products contemplates that an increased and constantly increasing share of the Republic's work shall be done by foreigners. The two policies cannot go hand in hand. They completely nullify each other. Those Reciprocity Treaties The Illinois Manufacturers' Association has unanimously adopted resolutions favoring reciprocity with Canada. To be sure. It is not to be doubted that reciprocity treaties, such as have been discussed, would be advantageous to the manufacturer. But wouldn't it be at the expense of the farmer? Isn't it proposed to trade to the Canadian a market for his agri RING WEDGE. PROTECTION DSPERITY cultural products in return for a market for our manufactured products? That's the way it looks to us, and that's why we are opposed to reciprocity treaties with Canada as its advocates present them. We are not opposed to reciprocity, but we are opposed to the particular form it assumes in the case of Canada, and until we are shown that it does not propose to admit Canadian butter and Canadian eggs and Canadian horses and Canadian hides and other products in competition with the farmer we shall continue to oppose it. It is a strange thing that some of the most strenuous advocates of Canadian reciprocity are also the most bitter in their denunciation of the protection which has enabled our manufactures to grow so wonderfully. Can it be that they are willing to join hands with those whom they have denounced as beneficiaries of the robber tariff in order that a breach may be made in the protective tariff wall behind which, as Chamberlain declares, this country has built up its industries?—Corning (Ia.) Union-Republican. A Lost Argument. The Democratic party in advocating free trade for the United States has always pointed to England as the most prosperous country in the world because it was a free trade country. But the growing demand in England for protection takes that argument away from the Democrats. When England, that has long prided itself upon free trade, turns away from it, the United States will be wise to adhere to its policy of protection that has made this country the most prosperous in all the world.—Freeport (ill.) Journal. Rough on Rate. How to kill industry: Vote the democrats into power.—Moravian Falls (N. C.) Yellow Jacket. HUMOR OF THE DAY Texan Would Take No Chances. Representative Bob Henry of Texas tells the following story: "Word came one day to a man who lives down in my part of Texas that his mother-in-law had died in St. Louis. The first telegram was followed by another one, which read: "Shall we bury or cremate her?" "The Texas man wired back: "Both; take no chances."—Washington Post. Between the Acts. "You don't look like an inebriate." "I'm not." "And yet you say when you went to get a drink many people were moved?" "Yes, they had to stand up while I came down through the orchestra alisle." Great Luck for a Suburbanite. Subbubs—Of all the marvelous things! Did you hear about the servant girl! Backlots took out from the city with him yesterday? Cittman—No. She's going to stay, in she? Subbubs—I should say so. He induced her to buy the place for only a few hundred dollars less than he paid for it—Philadelphia Press. It All Depends He—"There is nothing that interests a woman so much as a man's love." She—"Oh, I don't know. Sometimes there is nothing so disinteresting." He—"For instance?" She—"When he happens to be in love with some other woman." This Is Awful "I beg your pardon," said the fat passenger, who had just slapped a stranger on the back, "but that suit you have on is a dead ringer for one worn by a friend of mine."

A Wrong Simile. "Ah," he protested, "my love for you is the greatest thing in the world. It is larger than the world. It is wider than the sea. Let me pour it into your ears." "Sir!" ejaculated the fair maid. "Do you mean to insinuate anything about the size or shape of my ears?" A Childish Comment. "Why don't you get married, Aunt Jane?" asked the little one. "I don't wish to, child," replied the elderly spinster. The little one looked at her reprovingly, "Mamma says it's wrong to lie," she remarked at last. ALL DONE OUT. Veteran Joshua Heller of 706 S. Walnut street, Urbana, Ill., says: "In the fall of 1899 after taking Doan's Kidney Pills I told the readers of this paper that they had relieved me of kidney trouble, disposed of a lame back with pain across my loins and beneath the shoulder blades. During the interval which has elapsed I have had occasion to resort to Doan's Kidney Pills when I noticed warnings of an attack. On each and every occasion the results obtained were just as satisfactory as when the pills were first brought to my notice. I just as emphatically endorse the preparation to-day as I did over two years ago." Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y., proprietors. For sale by all druggists, price 50 cents per box.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies, such as the use of a mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or impaired hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness can be restored by a catarh. Deafness taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases have been treated by a catarh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the eye. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness caused by catarh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarh Cure. Send for circulars, free. We sold by Druggings. 75c.

New Occupation for Women A most curious occupation conceived by a woman is that of a dinner taster. She spends a part of each day visiting houses and tasting dishes intended for dinner. She suggests improvements and shows the cook new ways of preparing dishes. WORRY A Sure Starter for III Health. Useless worrying (a form of nervousness) is indirectly the result (through the nerves) of improper feeding. A furniture man of Memphis says: "About a year ago I was afflicted with nervous spells, would worry so over trivial things. "I went to consult one of the best physicians in Memphis and he asked among many questions if I drank coffee. "His advice was: 'Go to some provision store and get a box of Postum, drink it in place of coffee and as you are confined to your desk to a great extent try and get out in the open air as much as possible.' I followed his instructions regarding the Postum. "At that time my weight was 143 and I was taking all kinds of drugs and medicines to brace me up, but all failed; to-day I weigh 165 and all of my old troubles are gone, and all the credit is due to having followed this wise physician's advice and cut off the coffee and using Postum in its place. "I now consider my health perfect. I am willing to go before a notary public and testify that it was all due to my having used Postum in place of coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason for quitting the drug-drink coffee, and there's a reason for drinking Postum. Trial 10 days proves them all.

Large-sized silk cord is something entirely new in hat trimming and is most effective. A dark blue felt toque is trimmed with blue silk cord of a much lighter shade. This cord is wound several times around the crown and looped and knotted at one side, the ends being brought together and fastened with a shaded blue cabochon in the center of the looping. Silver cord and cabochons form an effective trimming on white felt and black velvet hats respectively. Silver soutache braid is sewed to velvet or satin ribbon, and with half of the middle, or the edges, of the ribbon left plain, is then used for bands and flat bows. Silver and gold gauze ribbons are used for hat bindings. Eurs as Trimmings. Furs as trimmings are charming. The best skating frocks will show trimmings of sable, mink and even ermine; the latter especially is very costly. The cream and white cloths and corduroy velvet now in vogue are vastly improved by an edging of mink or sable, though martin-tail is a good substitute. It is in skating frocks that we shall see the most perfect specimens of the short skirt; it is at its best cut with a somewhat full frill round the feet, which assists in giving that graceful swing that makes skating such a pretty pastime. Russian Coat. Walking suits made with long coats in Russian style are essentially smart as well as serviceable and are well adapted to the long-haired materials of the season. This one is made of gray zibeline with figures of white and combines the Russian coat with a plain five-gored skirt. The coat is a specially desirable one and includes the wide sleeves that mean comfort as well as style, while the skirt is cut FASHION 4494 Russian Coat, 22 to 40 bust. 4493 Five Gored Skirt, 22 to 32 waist. to flare freely and generously about the feet. To make the costume will be required for coat 6½ yards 27 or 4 yards 44 or 52 inches wide; for skirt 6½ yards 27, 3¾ yards 44 or 3¾ yards 52 inches wide. A May Manton pattern of coat. No. 4494, sizes 32 to 40, or of skirt. No. 4493, sizes 22 to 32, will be mailed to any address on receipt of ten cents for each. Visiting Costume A soft shade of dark green cloth with velvet of a slightly darker tint is used for this visiting costume. The pretty belted eton has a double rever effect carried out in velvet with cloth appliques and in cloth with velvet appliques. Persian lamb being inserted in each motif. These revers are broadly pointed over the shoulders. The sleeves are of velvet with scalloped points beneath, while lingerie ruffles of plisse chiffon fall over the hand. The skirt is plain, the only trimming being the appliques of velvet and fur, such as appear on the eton. The white beaver hat is strapped with broad gold braids and the long plume in white shades to pink and jacquemin at the tip. Simpliety in Girls' Clothes Fashions for young girls should be always dainty and simple. It is very bad taste for a school girl to wear elaborately trimmed clothes or dresses that are beyond her years. There are styles and materials she can wear at the school age that would be impossible in after years, and if she does not take advantage of them they are lost to her forever. Turkish Capes and Boleros. It is a pretty fashion to take the short Turkish capes of white felt, with their rich silver decoration, and combine with chiffon or crepe for opera and theater wear. They are very unusual and extremely picturesque. The showy Turkish boleros are also pressed into service for dressy wear by combining them with black or white blouses, and subduing their flashy gilt effect by an over embroidery of coarse black silk. Tucked Blouse. Tucked blouses or shirt waists are held exceedingly smart and are shown in the new washable fabrics as well as in wool and silk waistings. The model shown is a specially good one and well adapted to all materials used for waists and simple gowns. The applied box plait at the center front is both new and desirable and is graduated to give a narrow line at the waist, a broad one at the shoulders, 4619 Tucked Blouse 32 to 40 bust. shown is a specially good one and well adapted to all materials used for waists and simple gowns. The applied box plait at the center front is both new and desirable and is graduated to give a narrow line at the waist, a broad one at the shoulders, an effect which is repeated in the tucks at the back while those at the front give a pointed yoke effect and provide fulness below. The sleeves are the latest ones with full puffs at the wrists and are gathered into fancy cuffs which match the stock collar. The model is made of pine green peau de cynge with collar and cuffs of velvet and cut steel buttons. The waist consists of the fitted lining, which is optional, fronts and back with the box plait that is separate and stitched to position. The sleeves are tucked above the elbows, full below and are finished with the cuffs which, when the lining is not used, are joined to the lower edge. The quantity of material required for the medium size is $4\frac{1}{2}$ yards 21 or 27 inches wide, or $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards 44 inches wide, with $1\frac{1}{4}$ yard of velvet for collar and cuffs. The pattern, 4619, is cut in sizes for a 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40 inch bust measure. Debutante's Costume. A soft, white, clinging goods known as sicilienne, very popular this year, is cleverly used in a debutante's costume. The corsage is arranged with a handkerchief yoke and bertha, heavy lace being employed, and the tucked sicilienne blouses slightly into the white silk crush belt of girdle shape. The goods is tucked on the shoulders and wherever else the lace parts to show it. The sleeves also are tucked to the elbows; the fullness is allowed to puff and the lower part of the sleeve is of lace which matches in kind the bertha and yoke. A flaring cuff is the finishing feature of the sleeve. The skirt falls in graceful folds and shows considerable of a train. In design the skirt offers a striking novelty, being built in five sections, the horizontal tucks creealing the joinings. Each section has its own tucking which keeps the skirt in complete harmony with the tucked waist. The hip yoke is a shirred puff and the drop skirt has several flouces, the upper ruffle being of chiffon and making a fluffy finish for the pretty skirt. Naturally nothing heavier than white silk and chiffon should be allowed to go under all this daintiness. Pretty Teagown. The teagown is quite as elaborate in its way as the dinner toilet and may be indeed called the "picture" frock. Exquisite was one of softest pearl gray satin, with a broad "empire" hand of silver embroidery, which also appeared on the hem of the flowing skirt. Just caught on the shoulders was a beautiful coat of brussels applique, lined with gray chiffon; the undersleeve was also of gray chiffon with falling corners of lace. Rose Petticoats. A very beautiful whim of the girl who does not consider expense is to line pale-tinted cloths—gray, biscuit-color, silver-blue and oyster shell—with "drawn-pink" peau de cygne, the petticat being pale rose peau de cygne, with many chiffon ruches shading from "dawn-pink" to deep rose. And one daring French "rose skirt" carried an under frill of black chiffon, very chic and lovely, but almost too audacious.

STYLES IN WOMEN'S GOWNS A SUBJECT FOR ARGUMENT An interesting question is suggested by the address of the clergyman who, the other day, poured the vials of his wrath upon the immodesty, foolishness and extravagance of the fashions of the period. "In the most degraded days of France," said he, "the gowns of women were not nearly so low, so given to falling away as is considered good form in society to-day." Now, if the morals of the French Revolution are the goal of womankind at present, it would be a great relief to know if they are to be pre- or post-revolutionary morals. In fashion, these two varieties were quite as different as the clothes with which they were worn. The fashions of the first period were elegant, elaborate and magnificent; those of the second, of a bold and unashamed simplicity; but it must be conceded that they were alike in the particular that they showed bodices of the lowest cut. Even in those days, however, a pretty woman occasionally covered her neck from the public gaze and even had her portrait painted in a high bodice. Two examples are given in one of the pictures. Was this departure from the usual custom prompted by extreme modesty? In the case of the larger portrait, at least, that of 1830 Madame de Pompadour, one is inclined to think not and to suspect that that astute person had some other reason. The extraordinary frankness of the Directory fashions is too well known to need description, but it is doubtful if the low cut of the shortwaisted bodices was by any means their worst feature. They at least had a small covering for the upper part of the arm, but the V shaped corsage of the '80s had not the vestige of a sleeve and was very low in the neck besides. In fact, for sheer stinginess of covering those V-shaped bodices were unique, and yet the days of the '80s are, on the whole, held to be extremely respectable ones. What about that reign of the low necked frock in the early half of the nineteenth century, that period when respectability was enthroned and excessive refinement, not to say squeamishness and prudery, was the order of the day? During that period gowns were worn low morning, noon and ```markdown ``` The Modern Decolletage. night, and in full dress had that falling away effect which the clerical critic quoted so much deplores, to an extent which surely is not equaled to-day. As a final bit of evidence, contemplate the costume of those refined and artistic peoples with no morals worth speaking of, the ancient Greeks and the Italians of the Middle Ages. The bosom is covered, the throat only modestly exposed and the body clothed with voluminous and stately draperies. Things are not always what they seem to be in this world. An authority on the psychology of modesty and clothing believes "that the genesis of modesty is to be found in the activity in the midst of which it appears and that it has primarily no connection with clothing whatever."—New York Sun. The Affectionate Poor. "The poor have exceedingly warm affections, an dare easily guided by them. On one occasion," says a woman philanthropist, in Everybody's Magazine for January, "when I had argued for an hour with a quarrelling husband and wife without bringing reconciliation any nearer, I said: 'Well, you must go your own way, but you are simply breaking my heart with your foolishness.' I believe my voice trembled, for I was tired and discouraged. The man and the woman looked at each other, and then the woman said: "Indeed, miss, we didn't know we were hurting you—we wouldn't do that for worlds. John and me, and if it will make you happier, we'll try again." "As for their goodness to each other, it is beyond all praise. The nights spent in watching sick neighbors, though no rest can be looked for on the day that follows—the meals shared—the nameless unremembered acts of kindness and of love—one has to live among them to realize these." The Real "Pina" Gauze. "Pina" gauze, made by the women of the Philippines from pineapple 1840 spikes alone, is as delicate as chiffon and far more durable. They use only the best leaves and tasse, tied into bundles, are placed under heavy stones in the bed of a running stream. After two or three days of this treatment they are exposed for a time to the action of sun and air. Each piece is closely inspected to make sure that the process of decomposition was thorough, and if it was not the leaves are subjected a second time to the operation. The fibrous threads are at last wholly separate from the cellulose and lignose particles and cleaned from the sap and gummy substances. The whole is then beaten with a wooden mallet, grooved on the faces like a fluting machine. The threads are kept moist while this beating is in progress and the separate threads are then blended into one mass. In color the fibers vary from cream and light gray to pure white. After the "pineapple cloth" is finished figures are stamped on it with blocks and afterward worked or embroidered by hand. She Was Grateful. Mr. Brown's business kept him so occupied during the daytime that he had little opportunity to enjoy the society of his own children. When some national holiday gave him a day of leisure his young son was usually his chosen companion. One day, however, Mr. Brown, reproached by the wistful eyes of his 7-year-old daughter, reversed the order of things, and invited the little girl to go with him for a long walk. She was a shy, silent, small person, and during the two hours' stroll not a single word could Mr. Brown induce the little maid to speak, but her shining eyes attested that she appreciated his efforts to amuse her; indeed, she fairly glowed with suppressed happiness. Just before they reached home, however, the child managed, but only after a tremendous struggle with her inherent timidity, to find words to express her gratitude. "Papa, what flower do you like best?" she asked. "Why, I don't know, my dear—sunflowers, I guess." "Then," cried the little girl, beaming with gratitude, "that's what I'll plant on your grave."—Woman's Home Companion. His Tin Lark. One day Miss Bailey brought her Shelley down and read his "Ode to the Skylark." "Now, don't you think that's a pretty thing?" she asked. "Did you hear how the lark went singing, bright and clear, up and up and up into the blue sky?" The children were carefully attentive, as ever, but responsive. Morris Moglewsky felt that he alone understood the nature of this story. It was meant to amuse; therefore it was polite that one should be amused. "Teacher fools," he chuckled. "Teacher fools," he chuckled, 'Larks ain't singin' in skies.' "How do you know?" asked Miss Bailey. "Cause we got a lark by our house. It's a from tin lark mit a cover." "A tin lark. With a cover!" Miss Bailey exclaimed, "Are you sure, dear, that you know what you are talking about?" "Teacher, yiss, ma'm, I know," Morris began deliberately. "My papa, he has a lark. It's a from tin lark mit a cover. Und it gets a handle, too. Und my papa he takes it all times on the store for buy a lark a beer." "Lager beer! O, shade of Shelley!" groaned Miss Bailey's spirit, but aloud she only said: "No, my dear, I wasn't reading about lager beer. A lark is a little bird."—McCure's. Ode to the Hen. Of robin and skylark and linnet, spring poets write page after page; their praises are sounded each minute by prophet, soothsayer and sage; but not since the stars sang together, not since the creation of men, has anyone drawn a goose feather in praise of the patient old hen. All honor and praise to the singing that cheers up the wildwood in spring; the old recollection soft bringing joy, childhood, and that sort of thing; but dearer to me than the twitter of robin or martin or wren is the motherly 1850 cluck when a litter of chickens surround the old hen. And her mid-winter cackle, how cheery, above the new nest she has made; it notifies hearts all aweary, another fresh egg has been laid; and when the old bird waxes heavy and aged and lazy and fat, well cooked, with good stuffing and gravy, there's great consolation in that.—London Answers.

"Aby! Aby!" he called out excitedly, when his friend's head appeared above the water for an instant, "if you don't come up for the third time can I have the boat?"

No one who knows Dr. Williamson will doubt for a moment the complete truth of his fearless declaration, but to completely clinch the matter in the minds of those who may not have the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with this celebrated physician, Dr. Williamson has appeared before Mr. H. E. Greene, J. P. for Montgomery County, and made a sworn statement. In this sworn statement the doctor has cited a number of cases which have been completely cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills. Here is case No. 1: "Henry Hall, Sr., age 48, an Ameri can, attacked with Malaria Haematuria, or Swamp Fever; temperature ranged from 101 to 105, highly coated tongue, constipated bowels, hemorrhage or passage of blood from Kidneys; used febrifuge and Dodd's Kidney Pills to relieve the inflammation and congested condition of Kidneys and to render the urine bland and non-irritating.

A clergyman who has just returned ‘from a trip to England tells a story he heard there of the marriages made on certain feast days, when no fee 1s charged and the young couples come su great numbers a long distance to take advantage of the custom. The custom ts not general, but local, being confined to certain rural places in tho vicinity of Manchester and Old: ham. “Upon one of those occasions,” tells the clergyman, with a chuckle, “a delegation of fifty young people from Oldham and the surrounding country journeyed to Manchester, making a Picturesque grouping at the Old Eng lish church of St. Mark's. Each one ot the men carried a long staff*or stick as the people there call a cane, and each of the young women brandished an umbrella, the use of which will be presently seen, “After the ceremony of marrying the lot was concluded, and the crowd was going down the church aisle, one young woman burried back and inter- cepted the rector as he was going to the vestry, “‘I theenk, meenster,’ she panted, ‘that you have morried me to the wrong felly! “Don't let that worry you,” said the rector, who was in a hurry, “sort your selves as you xo out, “you're all mar ried fast enough,” and acting on his advice, they sorted out the right pairs, “On their way back to Oldham they bought the things necessary to light housekeeping, stringing the lighter utensils on the sticks and umbrellas, poised on their shoulders.”—-Chicago Record Herald, Like the Dog's. Mrs, Frederick B. Schoff, the prest- dent of the National Congress of Mothers, dwelt foreibly in a recent address upon the evil of loquacity. “Loquacity — talking overmuch,” she said, “that is a fault inherent in too many mothers, and in too many fathers, too, if you come to that. St lence {s a blessed thing and we should cultivate it when we have nothing to say. Silence is always better, to my mind, than a buzz of empty and meaningless talk. I used to know am old lady who talked overmuch, ghe was ont walking one August afters noon when a man passed her with @ dog. The dog's tongue hung out a little and the old lady stopped and said: ‘That dog is not safe, It should not be at large. Its tongue hanging out of its mouth is a sure sign of rabies.’ “The old man, who knew the med- dlesome old lady well, retorted: ‘It's only a sign that the dox’s tongue ts too big for its mouth, the same as some old folks’.’"—Los Angeles ‘Times.

He had somo of the medicine on hand, consisting of whisky and quinine mixed in quantities to suit. Opening the dog's jaws he turned a liberal dose down him, ‘Two or three days elapsed during which the animal was unable to walk straight, yet he seemed not to have any pain, and in fact appeared to enjoy himself.

Ancient Relic Found by Farmer Near Chester, Vt. Charles North, who lives noar the “Summit,” was sawing up an oak log in the woods near his place a few days ago when the steol tecth camo in contact with metal, says a dispatch from Chester, Vt. The log had been felled the winter before. North abandoned the saw and resort- ed to an axe, After ten minutes of labor he dis: closed the butt of what appeared to be ® hatchet firmly imbedded in the trunk of the tree, ten inches in from the bark. A little more cutting and the hatchet fell out and proved to be an Indian tomahawk covered by rust, but still in a fair state of preserva: tion. North could see traces of an inscription on the blade, and, care- fully washing off the rust, he was able to make out several words. The name “Peter Snow” was vist- ble where the blade had joined the handle, and a little in front of this was ‘Gen, Stark's Army, 1777.” There were two other words which could not be made out, and then the words “white squaw.” A rough fine drawing of a red fox was sketched on the reverse side of the blade, and below that two eagle feathers. In 1777 Gen. John Stark and his New Hampshire militia marched from Concord, N. H., to Bennington, Vt. and camped for two months near Low- ell Lake, a short distance from where the tomahawk was found. It is be- lieved that one of Stark’s soldiers left the weapon in the tree, and that the wood grew around it until it cov- ered it.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound that I feel it but just to acknowledge it, hoping that it may help some other woman suffering as I did. "For years I enjoyed the best of health and thought that I would always do so. I attended parties and receptions thinly clad, and would be suddenly chilled, but I did not think of the results. I caught a bad cold eighteen months ago while menstruating, and this caused inflammation of the womb and congested ovaries. I suffered excruciating pains and kept getting worse. My attention was called to your Vegetable Compound and the wonderful cures it had performed, and I made up my mind to try it for two months and see what it would do for me. Within one month it felt much better, and at the close of the second I was entirely well. "I have advised a number of my lady friends to use it, and all express themselves as well satisfied with the results as I was." — Miss Rose Noah Hennessy, 410 S. Broadway, Lexington, Ky.

PINKHAM: — About two years ago I consulted a physician about my health which had become so wretched that I was no longer able to be about. I had severe backache, bearing-down pains, pains across the abdomen, was very nervous and irritable, and this trouble grew worse each month. The physician prescribed for me, but I soon discovered that he was unable to help me, and I then decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and soon found that it was doing me good. My appetite was returning, the pains disappearing, and the general benefits were well marked. "You cannot realize how pleased I was, and after taking the medicine for only three months, I found that I was completely cured of my trouble, and have been well and hearty ever since, and no more fear the monthly period, as it now passes without pain to me.

With the introduction of the air brake on railway trains the trainman's occupation no longer consists of the combination of calling stations and handling the brakes, the latter duty having been eliminated by an apparatus under control of the man in charge of the engine, and enabling him to bring his train to a stop at the proper place at the station or to apply the brakes instantly in case of danger, instead of giving the signal and waiting until the brakeman can tighten the brakes. Now the question arises, is the engineer to be his own fireman as well as brakeman? It would certainly seem so, from the invention of a western man, which is shown in the picture. Should the point be raised that the engineer has enough to do in watching his engine and the track ahead the answer can be given that the arrangement is almost automatic, and only a little attention while stopped at a station is needed to keep the Feeds the Boiler Without Aid. automatic stoker in working condition. As long as the supply of fuel in the hopper is not exhausted the worm screw will carry it forward and discharge it into the boiler, the screw being actuated by an auxiliary engine obtaining steam from the boiler. Should the engineer discover his steam indicator climbing too high he has only to cut down the amount of feed for a time, and even this portion of the work could be looked after automatically by connecting a stop lever with the safety valve. There is no opening of the furnace door at frequent intervals to ascertain the condition of the fire and shovel in more coal, but the draft through the firebox is maintained continuously, and under these circumstances it should not be a difficult task to gauge the apparatus so that the proper amount of fuel would be discharged into the combustion chamber continuously. Handy Cover for Books. So great is the demand for literature in this century that in public conveyances people will be found devouring the contents of books while on their way to business.

It is preferably made of cloth, and is fitted with pockets, in which the covers are inserted, while the center of the back has longitudinal openings, in which any number of small ribbon markers can be inserted. The illustration shows the process of placing the protector on the book, the covers being drawn back and inserted in the pockets simultaneously. It is a simple matter to cover the book, and any one can well appreciate the merits of having a washable shield soiled instead of the book itself. Mrs. E. B.

Edison's assistants at Menlo Park, has invented a machine which combines the properties of the telephone and phonograph. As the sound is received over the telephone it is recorded on a wax cylinder, from which it can be repeated when desired. Several successful demonstrations, it is stated, have been given at the Daily News office in London. All Contracts Let to Americans.

I believe that I owe my life to its wonderful merits. I suffered with catarh of the head and lungs in its worst form, until the doctors fairly gave me up, and I despaired of ever getting well again. "I noticed your advertisement and the splendid testimonials given by the people who had been cured by Peruna, and determined to try a bottle.
