Topeka, Kan., July 20, 1904. Rev. F. G. Snelson: Dear Brother:—"To all the Saints and faithful brethren scattered abroad, Greeting. Grace be unto you, and peace from God, our Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ." Through the providence of Almighty God and the wisdom of the late General Conference, which assembled in Chicago, Ill., I have been assigned to the Fifth Episcopal District of the A. M. E. church, embracing Missouri, North Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, California and Puget Sound Conferences. In assuming the responsibilities connected with the work of this district I beg to call your attention to the fact that with the growth of our great church our responsibilities increase spiritual and temporal.
It is our duty to preach repentance, conviction, regeneration and sanctification, without which we cannot see the Lord. In performing this important duty the salvation of souls should be uppermost in our minds; an accurate
account should be kept of every conversion and accession into the kingdom of grace. In order that we may accomplish this work successfully:
1. We should have the ability and common-sense to do that which we undertake, whether it be in profession, commerce, trade or manual labor.
2. Confidence in the Cause for which we stand.
3. Obedience to its laws.
4. Activity, full of energy and courage that oppositions and impediments cannot deter.
5. A field in which to operate, where opportunity will be given each of us to demonstrate our capability of doing the work committed to our care. BISHOP GRANT.
RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE ON THE DEATH OF BROTHER B. L. THOMPSON.
Adopted by Green Pasture Lodge, No.
Whereas, It has pleased the Supreme Architect of the universe to remove from our midst our worthy and esteemed brother, B. L. Thompson, who departed this life Sunday, August 14th; and,
Whereas, The long and intimate acquaintance held with him in the faithful discharge of his duties makes it eminently befitting that we record our appreciation of him both as a man and a Mason; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the wisdo mand abil it ywhich he has exercised in the aid of our organization by services, contribution and council, be ever held in grateful remebrance.
Resolved, That the sudden removal of such a life from among us leaves a vacancy and a shadow, that will prove a serious loss to us as well as the community at large.
And while we bow in humble submission to the Deity, it is only softened by the hope that his spirit is now resting in the "Grand Lodge Above, where the Son of God is Grand Masters, and whose will must be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Resolved, That to the bereaved wife and family we extend out deepest and profound sympathy and commend them to the Divine Healer above, who in his wisdom hath said, "I will be a husband to the husbandless and a father to the fatherless.
Be it further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be mailed to the devoted wife and mother, a copy sent to The Rising Son for publication, that our lodge room be draped in mourning for 30 days, and that a page be set apart in our official record for its enrolment thereon.
Respectfully submitted,

Wife Drove Pesta Away.
A Yorkshire man whose poor relations pestered him continually, married the worst scold in the county in order to have a guardian who would protect him from the importunate legacy hunters. The venomous and incessant vituperation of the woman had the desired effect.
Silk From Wood Pulp.
Silk is now manufactured from wood pulp, and the only difference between natural silk and the artificial silk so produced is that the latter exceeds the former in luster and takes the dye more readily, affording more permanent colors.
Automobile Fishing Boats.
Fishermen on the Lake of Neuchatel are using automobile boats. They are driven by a benzine motor and lighted by electricity. They are flat-bottomed, glide noiselessly over the water, do not frighten the fish and are a great success.
No Meat at Breakfast.
Nect is seldom seen on the breakfast table in Austria and Germany, nor is much use made of the prepared cereals, so popular in America. Wheat rolls and rye bread form the staple breakfast food.
Needs Them In His Business.
If the man you are with is less than 15 years old, and you ask him for a lyspepsia tablet, he will generally take a little bottle out of his pocket and mechanically give you one.—Somerville Journal.
Capacity of Toada.
The toad is exceedingly greedy. It feeds continuously throughout the night, and in twenty-four hours consumes a quantity of insect equal to about four times its stomach capacity.
Bride Kept Long From Mother.
When a Chinese girl marries she must wait four months before eliquette allows her to pay her first visit to her mother.
Leprosy in India.
India is the great leper country of the world. Here there existed in 1902 over 250,000 cases of this frightful disease.
No Bare Japanese Stamps
Japan has no very rare postage stamps. The most ever paid for a specimen was $50.
The "Bird in the Hand."
He is no wise man that will quit a certainty for an uncertainty.—Samuel Johnson.
Over Falls of Niagara.
Thirty-two million tons of water roll over the cliff at Niagara in every hour.
Smallest Monarchy on Earth
The sovereign who reigns over the smallest monarchy in the world is the king of Cocos, a group of islands near Sumatra. These islands were discovered about 300 years ago by the captain of the Keeling, but were comparatively little known till 1825. When Mr. Ross, an Englishman, visited them he was struck by their beauty and took up his abode there. It is his grandson, George Ross, who now Lolds sway over the Cocos.
Condemna Top Hats.
The London Medical Press thus issues a call for heroes: "The top hat is ugly, unhygienic and embarrassing. Its sole claim to support is the appearance of respectability it gives. If only a few medical baronets would drive to their consultations in Panamas and cloth caps they would break the tyranny of habit over health and comeliness, and at the same time earn the undying gratitude of their humbler conferences."
Brefreshments in Church
Family pews were introduced at the beginning of the seventeenth century. Some of these had a table and place, also curtains and wives blinds, so as to secure the utmost privacy. This led to abuse. In some of the closed pews card playing was not uncommon and the tottum of a long service was sometimes relieved by light refreshments—The Reliquary.
Wild Dogs of Central Africa
The wild dog of central Africa, an explorer writes, is common enough. He is an ugly looking beast, with a pied body, coarse hair, short head and large upright ears. These wild dogs play fearful havoc with game, occasionally clearing out whose districts precisely in the same manner as he red dhole of India, before which even the tiger is said to retreat.
Snake That Stole.
While working close to a farm house at Fulbeck, in Lincolnshire, a laborer was astonished to see a snake, over a yard long, swim across a stream. With some trouble he captured it and found in its mouth a cheese cake which it had stolen from the farm house larder on the other side of the river.—London Daily Express.
Much Tea Drunk in Japan.
Tea-drinking is a constant occupation for a Tibetan. In every tent and in every house the tea-kettle is always on the fire. The laws of hospitality bind all to present tea to their guests, and every Tibetan carries with her a wooden bowl of Himalayan maple by way of a tea cup.
A number of companies are prospecting for petroleum in various parts of Mexico. A gusher has recently been struck near Tampico, on the property of the Mexican Petroleum Company, which has been sinking wells in the region for the last two or three years. Other wells are being sunk near the gusher, and experts believe that the company is about to be rewarded for the money it has spent upon prospecting by the finding of oil in paying quantities.
Bread of the Nations.
Even the poor in the United States and England eat white bread. In most of the continental countries of Europe rye bread is the staple. The Russians use buckwheat. The Laplanders have a bread made of oaten meal mixed with pine bark, and the Icelanders make their flour from lichens. Banana flour is used in the South Sea islands.
Boston Clock Over 100 Years Old.
Boston Clock Over 100 Years Old. The clock upon the organ loft in the old North church of Paul Revere fame is more than 100 years old. It was cleaned and repaired a quarter of a century ago by a Boston watchmaker, whose only charge for the work was the privilege of engraving his name upon the back of the ancient timepiece.-Boston Record.
Chinese Wisdom.
When the sword is rusty, the plow bright, the prisons empty, the granaries full, the steps of the temple worn down and those of the law courts grass-worn; when doctors go a-foot, the bakers on horseback, and the men of letters drive in their own carriages, then the empire is well governed.—Chinese Saying.
Evile of Darkness.
Florence Nightingale declared that "a dark house is almost always unhealthy; always an ill-aired house. Want of light stops growth and promotes scrofula, rickets, consumption, etc., especially among children. People lose their health in a dark house and if they get ill they cannot get well again in it."
Old English Labor Law
There has recently been unearthed an old labor law that related to the tailors of England. It was in force until 121 years ago. It compelled a work day of fourteen hours, with a maximum daily wage of 48 cents, and provided imprisonment for two months for any tailor who joined a union.
Not as Fast as It Seems.
The highest speed which can be attained in an "express" elevator, in a very high office building, is about seventy feet a minute. That is equivalent to a mile in more than seven minutes, and many a pedestrian has walked for considerable distances at nearly as fast a pace.
To Keep Shoestrings Tied.
A shoe authority gives simple direction for keeping the bothersome shoe-string tied. After tying in a bow knot, pin the bow underneath with a small safety pin, taking care that the pin goes through two loops and two eads. The shoe ribbons will remain in place all day.
Ants Good as Compasses.
In the tropical northern territory of South Australia travelers need not carry a compass. The district abounds with the nests of the magnet or meridian ant. The longer axes of these nests point due north and south.
Such Is Life.
"I find this world divided into two classes of critics," writes a Young Mother to this office: "those who criticise when I whip my children and those who blame me when I don't."—Atchison Globe.
Court Defines Brandy.
It has been judicially decided in England that brandy is an alcoholic liquor, the spirit of which is obtained by the distillation of wine from the grape, and that to sell anything else as "brandy" is fraud.
Retort Medical.
An Atchison man went to a doctor and said: "I want to be cured of dyspepsia." Whereupon the doctor said: "If I knew how to cure dyspepsia, I wouldn't have it."—Atchison Globe.
Valuable Manuscript Is Stolen.
A manuscript by the composer Palestrina was stolen some time ago in the Roman Lateran. It is valued at $25,000, and is believed to be in Germany.
One Case of Quintuplets
According to the British Medical Journal, a genuine case of quintuplets has been reported to a Berlin medical society. None of the infants survived.
Ever Notice That—
It isn't what a man knows, but what he thinks he knows, that he brags about? Big talk means little knowledge.
Michigan Iron Mines
The iron mines of Michigan give employment to 14,456 persons, and their products amount to $26,695,860.

Force of Blue Whale
A blue whale, harpooned by a New-
foundland whaler in Placentia Bay in
March, 1903, towed the steam whaler
Puma 122 miles, the screw being re-
versed, at full speed the whole time,
and not until twenty-six hours
elapsed was exhausted and killed.
Early Rising.
"To be forced to get up early," says an English physician, "grinds the soul, curdles the blood, swells the spleen, destroys all good intentions and disturbs all day the mental activities. Criminals are always recruited from the early-rising class."
To Control Runaway Horses.
An Austrian has invented safety reins for runaway horses, by means of which two small rollers can be made to press the horse's windpipe when desired. The animal must stop at once for want of breath.

First of ail we learn from the beau:
titul story of Moses that God will find
you wherever you are and will give to
you a divine duty, When all things
were ready God found Moses away
there in the rocky country of Midian,
Moses seemed almost to have hidden
sway from God, for the record says
ihat he now led the sheep to the fur-
ther side of the mountain of Horeb.
Many a day he had pastured them in
the open plain and nothing unusual oc:
curred. But on this day when he
least expects it he sees ihe presence
4 God in the bush which shone with
divine glory.
In the Ight of this sacred history
read your own life story, Do not fear
that you will ever be forgotien or
overlooked if you are following God's
leading. When you are needed God
will find you, dle took Elisha from
the plow and made him a great pro-
Phet; he took David from the shep:
Vera life and made him a great king;
he took John and Peter from their
Hehing boats and made them masters
of eternal truth; and when he wants
you he will make it as plain as he
made it plain that he wanted Moses.
We learn also from this story that
we cannot hurry God's plans. Four
hundred years before God had promis:
ed this deliverance. The people sup-
posed that God had forgotten his
promise, but he had not. Forty years
bad passed away in Moses’ desert life
ind nothing unusual had happened.
You cannot hurry the plans of the
Almighty, for they are arranged with
reference to great and small things of
the whole universe, Why not he pa:
tient until you see his revelation of
Civine duty, whether that be in one,
or ten or forty years? ‘The four hun
dred years of waiting on the part of
the chosen people was a period of
preparation. The forty years of vol

The Gain of Loss.
It is Impossible to estimate the bene-
fits of aMiction. Most men count
their aMictions as so much loss. They
consider that every day of suffering is
a lost day, and that ail the pain they
bear is a disadvantage in the race of
life. Life is narrower, feebler, less
valuable because of sickness, loss and
tronbie, But they do not consider
wisely. Many men have gained far
more by their afiictions than by their
nleasures, Adversity has added more
to life than. prosperity
A paralytic was brought to Jesus.
Mis aiiction was very great. Men
pried him and wondered why he
should have teen visited with so
rreat a misfortune, But it was not
altogether evil. Perhaps he would
never have come in contact with Jesus
had he not been afficted. Coming to
Jesus for healing, he found salvation
glso, We have no reason to suppose
that he would ever have heard the
words, “Thy sins be forgiven thee,”
had {t not been for his aMiction, Ho
will have cause to thank God through:
out eternity for his paralysis.
Moreover, he became an object les

Levers through his healing and salva

Wherever he went through life the
sian that was healed was a living wit-
ness of the power and grace of Jesus
Corist. Every one who met him must
have felt the power of that miracle.
Nor has his testimony ceased. He
still bears witness. Thousands of
years have passed away, and his voice
s still heard. What a blessing to the
World was the paralysis of that man!
Let us not murmur when afiction
comes upon us. It may be sald of our
aMiction ax it was of the blindness of
the man whom our Lord healed:
“Neither hath this man sinned, nor his
parents: but that the works of God
vnight be made manifest in him.”
‘edt Site
‘The purpose for which a thing 1s
done determines largely, not only the
character of the thing done, nor the
method of its doing, but also the value
of the deed when done. ‘To do things
for the suke of Jesus lifts all deeds
up to the highest possible plane, and
invests with spiritual dignity even the
meanest of occupations,
“Unto Him" will settle the quality
of all deeds. Deeds that cannot be so
done are not worth the doing, and yet
so allinclusive is this purifying mo-
tive that no legitimate concern of life
is outside its sweep. These two words
may well be taken as the standard
by which our actions can and should
be measured. ‘Those that can be done
unto Him should be pursued with dtli=
gence, While those that cannot or con-
cerning which any doubt exists should
be at onee discarded.
“Unto Him” should be the purpose
of all our doings. ‘This purpose makes
drndgery divine, The person for whom
a thing is done settles largely wheth-
er the doing of it should be accounted
menial. Love will do for its beloved
what would not be done for another.
‘The fact that it is done for a loved
‘one invests what else were trivial
with a dignity and worth it would
not otherwise know, *
“Unto Him” sets the measure of our
doing as to its constancy. Love knows
no bounds. He, being who He ts and
having done what He has, demands a
service as long as eternity and a con-
seeration that only stops short when
it has embraced the whole man, “Unto
Him” thus becomes the secret of all
true life. It dignifies all and makes
the fleeting service pregnant with the
issues of eternity.
Life lived in this way Is accepted
as it has béen lived. When in the
naked, the hungry, the thirsty, the
sick and ‘the imprisoned we see Him
and give of ourselves to them as unto
Him, then shall He say to us: “Inas:
much as ye have done it unto one of
the least’ of these My brethren, ye
have done it unto Me.”
The sermon that is easy to deliver
Architects of Ourselves.
We are all architects of ourselves,
and whatever else you and I make, or
fail to make, in this world, we are
making the greatest thing of all, and
that is character. If we could only
keep that before ourselves as we ought
to do, with what mystic solemnity it
would clothe smallest things of our
daily action! And how it would make
us feel that nothing is indifferent and
nothing to be done lightly, and that
all in a most profound sense ts eter-
nal! Nothing human ever dies. ‘They
tell us that the vibrations of light go
rushing through the whole space of
the universe and never cease. You
have set going, by every act of your-
self, vibrations which last to erternity:
‘rhroweh our soul the echoes roll,
And gtope forever and forever,
Character is a robe, and we are our
own Weavers and clothiers, and we
wear what we have made.—Alexander
Maclaren.
We never regret what we did not
say so keenly as what we said.

Belief of Great Statesman.
In a letter to the then Vicar of St.
Matthew's, Brighton, the late Lord
Salisbury said: “To me the central
point is the Resurrection of Christ,
which T believe, Firstly, weeause it 1s
testified by men who had every op-
portunity of seeing and knowing, and
vhose veracity was tested by the
most tremendous trials, both of energy
end endurance, during long lives. Sec-
ondly, because ot the marvelous effect
it had upon the world. As a moral
phenomenon, the spread and mastery
of Christianity is without a parallel.
I can no more belfeve that colossal
moral effects lasting for 2,000 years
can be without a cause than I can
believe that the various motions of
the magnet are without a cause,
though we cannot wholly explain
| them.”
Be courageous. Be tndependent
Only remember where the true cour
age and independence come from.

Those Republicans who are urging

countries can scarcely accept the dec-
jaration that protection is a cardinal
principle of the Republican party.
Protection must protect all alike or It
is unfair. Reciprocity that proposes
to swap one industry away in order to
beneft another is not the reciprocity

reciprocity that shail work no injury

MRS. FULLER SUDDENLY CALLED
Heart Disease Claims Wife of Chiet
Justice of Supreme Court.
Mra. Mary E. Fuller, wife of Melvile
W. Fuller, chief justice of the supreme
court of the United States, died unex-
pectedly while seated on the piazza of
“Mainestay,” her summer home at
Sorrento, Me. While apparently in good

heart disease and expired almost be-
fore her daughters, who sat near her,

Mrs. Fuller was born in Burlington,
Iowa, Aug. 19, 1845, her parents being
William E. and Jane Brown Cool-

where Mrs. Fuller passed much of her
life. In 1860 she married Melville W.

WAR AS CAUSE OF INSANITY.
Another Danger That Threatens Sol
diers in Modern War.
Dr. Paul Jacoby, physician in chiet
to the provincial asylum of Orel, Rus:
sia, urges the necessity of a special
army medical service for insanity, to
which privation, fatigue, the nervous
tensions caused by ever present dan-
ger, the frequent mental shocks, alco:
holism and wounds predispose the sol
dier, and especially in remote cam-
paigns where there are no local asy:
lums like that in which Russia is now
engaged. Dr. Jacoby served in the
Franco-Prussia war and was then im:
pressed with the great number of
cases of mental disorder which came
under his attention, and his further
researches have shown that the mal-
ady is common in all wars and de
mands specialized attention. He com:
pares the sinking of warships by
mines and torpedoes to earthquakes
and volcanic eruptions, which are well
known to produce mental disorders,
and thinks that these new forms of
shock will tend to produce new forms
of neurosis and insanity.

The Plotters and the Devil Wagon
Young Johan could see his future spread before him like a smooth white fabric. He did not need to worry over a choice of calling, as so many other young men have to do, or the best way of earning his living. There were no long years of study before him. His comfortable living was growing and ripening in the fields of Holjeryd and mooring from sheer well-being in his father's barn. There would be nothing for him to do but sow and reap at the right times, according to the calendar. Everything he might need was ready and waiting for him, even a wife, whom his father had picked out for him.
Adjoining Holieryd was another large property, Runeryd: The owner of it had an only child, a daughter. Now, if Johan and Clara were to be united in marriage, nothing more desirable could be imagined, for then both properties would be in the same hands and the owner would be a man of power. The two old men had agreed that this was to be the future of their children, and Johan and Clara themselves thought the arrangement fit and proper.
At the outskirts of Runeryd lived an old soldier by the name of Klang, on a small and stony farm. The old man was a fine looking fellow at the church on Sundays, when he wore his two medals. One of them he had received for skill in marksmanship, and the other for industry in cultivating his farm.
One day Johan's mother was taken seriously ill, and it was necessary to hire help. Thus it happened that old man Klang's eldest daughter came to Holjeryd. Minna was a fine girl, but with all her loveliness she was nothing but a poor soldier's daughter. No one felt any anxiety on account of Minna.
But Minna had not been in Holjeryd many days before Johan began to follow her with his eyes wherever she went. He thought she was different from Clara—soft and graceful, clear eyed and slender. Wherever Minna stood or sat, Johan thought she fitted her place excellently. He soon began to wish Clara, her property and his own, at the ends of the earth. No freehold in Christendom was worth a small farm with Minna on it.
When she had been in Holjeryd a fortnight Johan was over his ears in love with her and she with him. It could no longer be concealed. Even Johan's father understood the state of affairs, but he only laughed.
"There is good stuff in the boy," he said, as if proud of his son's success. "I was a woman's man myself in my young days, before I married."
Soon, however, there was no more laughing. One day, Johan said to his father: "You will have to break with
A
Johan was in love with her, the Runeryd people, for I will never marry Clara."
The father opened his eyes in amazement. "What is this nonsense? What I have promised I shall do, and no beggar's daughter will have a chance to come between me and my plans. You understand?"
But things went from bad to worse. One day Johan declared that he had decided to go to America, and leave parents and home forever, if he could not marry Minna any other way. Then the old man became serious, and understood that something must be done to save the alliance scheme and cure Johan of his lovesickness.
Minna would have to go; but the old man realized that the dismissal of the girl would not be sufficient in Johan's case. The evening before she went he took the opportunity to carry out a scheme. While Minna and Johan were out in the garden somewhere, the old man ripped up a piece of the faceting of her Sunday skirt, pushed a fifty crown bill between the lining and the woolen stuff, and carefully sewed the opening together.
Minna had been gone several days. The owners of Holjeryd and Runeryd were sitting at the crossroads, the

meeting place agreed upon, deep in conversation.
"Now we'll soon cure the boy. We'll get the constable to go with us to the Klangs, and make a search among the girl's things. Then, of course, we'll find the fifty crown bill sewed in her dress. The constable will arrest her, and, after that, it would be queer if Johan would have anything to do with her," the owner of Holjeryd declared.
"But it seems a shame to blight the
"But it seems a shame to blight the girl's future," the other objected.
"Stuff and nonsense! Don't you think it will hurt us worse not to be able to unite our children in marriage and leave our properties in one pair of hands? It strikes me that our plan is more important than a whole platoon of beggar girls."
"I'm afraid the devil will have us for it. It is a cunning plot, but, after all, it is an act after the heart of Satan himself."
The words had hardly been spoken when a strange puffing and rattling was heard further up the road. The old man started up and looked around. An enormous red monster on wheels was rushing toward them with the speed of lightning. In the front seat was a man with big goggles, and when the infernal machine passed the old peasants the man turned to look at them. They thought they saw a pair of glowing eyes behind the glasses. Their nerve collapsed at the sight and they fell on their knees.
"It is the devil!" they groaned simultaneously.
The monster was already disappearing in the distance in a cloud of dust. How long the plotters remained on their knees at the cross roads no one knows, but there was no more talk of going to the Klangs.
Late in the evening Johan's father came tottering home, pale and grave, and asked for a hymn book, in which he read diligently. When he could no longer see to read he sat silent for a while. Then he called Johan.
"Hitch up, and drive to the Klangs', and fetch Minna as fast as you can," he said.
"What is the matter, father? You aren't going to do her any harm?"
"No, I am going to give her to you. It is no use to strive against Providence," muttered the old man, trembling.
Since then many an automobile has passed through the village, but, nevertheless, the banns of Johan and Minna were read the next Sunday. The owners of Holjeryd and Runeryd pretend that they have not been fooled. They are probably too proud to let it be known that it was an automobile which frustrated their plans.—New York Sun.

Blouse Waist.
Lingerie waists made with lace insertion are among the smartest of all smart things and are charming for wear with the jacket suit in cool weather as well as during the warmer of butter rubbed up with one of foil and a tablespoonful of finely chop parsley.
Have ready in another saucepaint of milk heated and seaso with white pepper and salt. W

is dainty in the extreme and combines Persian lawn with Valenciennes insertion and fagging, but the design is admirable for many other thin materials as well. Lace and embroidery both are used with washable fabrics and all the pretty simple silks, so much in vogue, are appropriate, while the yoke can be made of all-over or of the material trimmed in any way that may be preferred.
The waist consists of the fitted lining, that can be used or omitted as may be desirable, front, backs and yoke collar with the full sleeves. Both waist and sleeves are tucked in groups for a portion of their length and between these groups the trimming is applied. The yoke is carefully fitted and can be rendered transparent by cutting the lining away beneath.
The quantity of material required for the medium size is $3\%$ yards 21 inches wide, $3\%$ yards 27 inches wide or $1\%$ yards 44 inches wide with 8 yards of insertion to make as illustrated.
There is every indication that the basque bodice will be the next thing worn. The pointed crush girdles were the first indication, for they certainly gave the blouse waist a basque effect, and their popularity proved that women welcomed the change. Many of the fitted jackets and Etons are practically basques, and in some of the newest gowns the jacket is not meant to be removed, but is worn over a guimpe or tucker of thin material. A very handsome cloth gown with a satin finish was of a soft tan color combined with green. The skirt was plaited all around, the plaits being very full in the back, so that no sheath effect was noted. The jacket was laid in tiny plaits on the shoulder and was full over the bust. It was held tight below that and around the waist by a corselet arrangement of green and tan colored braid touched with gold.
Preserved Tomatoes.
Weigh ripe tomatoes and allow to every pound of them a pound of granulated sugar. Peel the tomatoes, cover with the sugar and set aside until next day. Drain off the sirup, boil it, and as it boils skim carefully. Lay the tomatoes and simmer for twenty minutes, then with a perforated spoon remove them and spread on platters in the sun while the sirup boils until thick. To seven pounds of the tomatoes allow the juice of three lemons and add this just before taking the sirup from the fire. Pack the tomatoes in jars and fill these to, overflowing with the boiling sirup. Seal immediately.
On Summer Costumes.
On many of the elaborate summer costumes mousseline de soie flower trimming is used. This adornment is dainty and extremely easy to make. All one has to do is to cut the material on the cross about four inches wide, fold it double and twist round and round to simulate a full-blown rose. Limp stems of different lengths are supplied by thin silk cord.
Shirred Walking Skirt
The skirt that just clears the ground is a well-deserved favorite and is eminently fashionable in all its variations. The model illustrated is adapted to all materials soft enough to allow of shirring and suits both the costume and the odd skirt. As shown, however, it is made of bleached Shantung pongee with applique of cream
adapted to all materials soft enough to allow of shirring and suits both the costume and the odd skirt. As shown, however, it is made of bleached Shantung pongee with applique of cream represe lace. The box platted effect at the lower edge is a special feature and one that is much to be desired, while the shirrings confine the fullness over the hips and produce a yoke effect without undue bulk, inasmuch as fashionable fabrics are all soft. The skirt is circular, cut in one piece, and is arranged over a foundation yoke to which the shirrings are attached.
The quantity of material required for the medium size is 9½ yards 21 inches wide, 7½ yards 27 inches wide or 4½ yards 44 inches wide, with 5½ yards of applique to trim as illustrated.
Lettuce Cream Soup.
The outer leaves of lettuce may be utilized for this excellent soup. Put a generous pint of them over the fire in a pint of weak broth and cook tender. Rub broth and lettuce through a ccelander or vegetable press and return to the fire. Stir into it a boiled onion minced fine, a great spoonful
of butter rubbed up with one of flour, and a tablespoonful of finely chopped parsley. Have ready in another saucepan a pint of milk heated and seasoned with white pepper and salt. While the milk is boiling hot stir into it a well-beaten egg. Pour this mixture into the tureen, then the lettuce soup, give a few whirls of your egg beater to combine all, and serve.
For a Hot Day.
An unusual but refreshing desert for a warm night is composed of sliced bananas, oranges and shredded pineapple. These should be well powdered with soft sugar, thoroughly mixed and kept in the refrigerator all day to become thoroughly chilled. Serve with whipped cream and the result is invariably pleasing.
Cross Stitches on Shoes
Cross stitch has invaded even the new bathing shoes, and some very attractive sandals seen at the shore are finished in this way. The canvas shoe is, of course, the best subject for the work, and stitchery must be in fast colors. White canvas can have decoration in black or red or blue, blue in white or red, etc.
Pretty Pin Cushions
Pretty pin cushions are made to hang on the wall. A particularly pleasing device shows a pair of Cinderella slippers, which may be made from kid or silk and stuffed with cotton or bran. For the pins the cover is of silk and on the side devoted to hairpins the cover is crocheted in fine zephyr.
Green Stones Popular.
The general revival of green color has brought into favor a number of green stones of which little has been heard of late. Many of the prettiest of these are inexpensive. They make lovely chains, pendant brooches and stickpins.
Girl's Costume.
Frocks that are pretty and simple at the same time are always in demand for young girls and are much to be desired for school and everyday wear. This one includes a deen
pointed yoke-collar that is eminently graceful and becoming and is adapted to a variety of materials, but, as illustrated, is made of white lawn with frills of openwork embroidery and yoke of insertion held by fancy braid. The lawn and similar washable fa
pointed yoke conat that is eminently graceful and be-coming and is adapted to a variety of materials, but, as illustrated, is made of white lawn with frills of openwork embroidery and yoke of insertion held by fancy braid. The lawn and similar washable fabrics are liked unlined, but when wool is used the fitted body lining is in every way desirable and the frills can be made from the material quite as well as from embroidery whenever liked.
The frock consists of waist and skirt. The waist is made with front and backs that are full and arranged over the foundation when that is used, joined to the yoke when it is omitted. The sleeves are full and ample with straight cuffs and the yoke-collar falls well over the sleeves, giving the broad shoulder line of the season. The skirt is five gored, gathered at its upper edge and joined to the waist and the closing is made invisibly at the back. The quantity of material required for the medium size (12 years) is 6 yards 27 inches wide, $5\frac{1}{4}$ yards 32 inches wide or $3\frac{1}{2}$ yards 44 inches wide, with 9 yards of insertion and $8\frac{1}{2}$ yards of embroidery to trim as ill illustrated.
Laundering Lace Curtains at Home
Laubender Lace Curtains at Home
A practical housekeeper says that a clean grass plot is a very good substitute for curtain stretchers. After the curtains are cleansed, pin them to the ground with nonrust hairpins. They will dry in half an hour in the sun to look like new. Curtains of a very delicate fabric, or those tender from long use, should be enclosed in pillow slips to wash successfully without tearing.
Picturesque Menu Cards
Some picturesque dinner and menu cards for out-of-town dinner-giving take the form of small English hunting prints, after the manner of Caldercott. The deep reds and greens of these cards make a brilliant color touch for the country house table, and the effect, as a whole, is distinctly novel
Novelty in Circular.
One of the latest novelties is a huge circular cloak of linen in creamy tone similar to those worn by the Arabs. It is draped at the back to form a hood. The hood and front are trimmed with white linen galloon. It makes an admirable evening wrap for summer.
Wicker Handles for Parasole.

BYRON WILLIAMS
He ate a lot of rare old cheese
And went to bed
"Another gone the Milky Whey."
The paper said!
The proposed dining cars on suburban electric cars open a new avenue of enjoyment. In Chicago, for instance, one can take his shavings and cream in Highland, his eggs and toast in Evanston, his coffee in Rogers Park and his toothpick at Chicago avenue. Following this up will undoubtedly permit him to take his stomach ache on State street. Thus there will be enough of the breakfast to keep a man busy all the way downtown. We are indeed a versatile people!
A Chicago women emptied a revolver at a midnight marauder in her home without hitting him. Had she been armed with a rolling pin she would, undoubtedly, have landed safely at the outset. One should always stick to the weapons that familiarity las made a protection.
An Illinois woman prevented her appearance in court by swallowing the summons which was served upon her, thereby making it non-returnable. If this becomes general, justices of the peace will be compelled to have their warrants printed on fly paper.
Paste this in your scrap-book—August 8, 1904, we had a fire in the furnace to take the chill from the house, said inclementy being caused, not by a family jar, but by a growl of Boreas from the northland. 'Rah for winter in the summer time!
Abdul Hamid should be furnished with a plethora of "didn't-know-it-was-loaded" literature, else he will not be prepared some day when the United States navy accidentally takes a shoc at him to enforce respect of the stars and stripes.
In Illinois a quarrelsome man and his wife are each to occupy the same louse in half week relays, alternating in the occupancy. This means that the bed will be made three times a week, anyhow.
The doctors say we all eat too much. It is a comforting thought these parous times to know we can live on considerably less if compelled to—and this is no joke "eyether!"

Try as we will, we cannot recall that it was uncomfortably cold last February, but almost anyone believes he will remember next February how hot it was in August.
From their own porches men see the sunset, but they make long pilgrimages to Naples. The one is free, the other costs money. That's why!
What "lovie would do if dovie died" is frequently never suspected by the neighbors until a week after dovie really and truly shuffles off!
A clever, politician usually distributes his family members in the local churches with an eye to making them go round as far as possible.
A woman's last word frequently makes a popular novel look like a bobtail pup—and it's almost always "continued" at that!
A Street Car Schedule.
Upon the shaded porch he sat
With Sue
He told her of a flat just built
For two
Out where the streets were broad and wide.
Where flowers blossomed by the side.
And birdings flow!
He kissed her as each car it hove
In sight!
She sat she thought she would—at least
She might!
Just then the cable broke its chain
And left a street car near the twain!
Couldst ask for more?
Fully half the pleasures of a country town existence is lost because of jealousies aroused by knowing people too well.

It is not difficult for the rooster to

The true philosopher never complains

Old English Labor Law
There has recently been unearthed an old labor law that related to the tailors of England. It was in force until 121 years ago. It compelled a work day of fourteen hours, with a maximum daily wage of 48 cents, and provided imprisonment for two months for any tailor who joined a union.
Not as Fast as It Seems
The highest speed which can be attained in an "express" elevator, in a very high office building, is about seventy feet a minute. That is equivalent to a mile in more than seven minutes, and many a pedestrian has walked for considerable distances as nearly as fast a pace.
To Keep Shoestrings Tied
A shoe authority gives simple direction for keeping the bothersome shoe-string tied. After tying in a bow knot, pin the bow underneath with a small safety pin, taking care that the pin goes through two loops and two ends. The shoe ribbons will remain in place all day.
Anta Good as Compasses
In the tropical northern territory of South Australia travelers need not carry a compass. The district abounds with the nests of the magnetic or meridian ant. The longer axes of these nests point due north and south.
AS EASY
Needs Only a Little Thinking
The food of childhood often decides whether one is to grow up well nourished and healthy or weak and sickly from improper food.
It's just as easy to be one as the other provided we get a proper start.
A wise physician like the Denver Doctor who knew about food, can accomplish wonders provided the patient is willing to help and will eat only proper food.
Speaking of this case the Mother said her little four year old boy was suffering from a peculiar derangement of the stomach, liver and kidneys and his feet became so swollen he couldn't take a step. "We called a Doctor who said at once we must be very careful as to his diet as improper food was the only cause of his sickness. Sugar especially, he forbid.
"So the Dr. made up a diet and the principal food he prescribed was Grape-Nuts and the boy, who was very fond of sweet things took the Grape-Nuts readily without adding any sugar. (Dr. explained that the sweet in Grape-Nuts is not at all like cane or beet sugar but is the natural sweet of the grains.)
"We saw big improvement inside a few days and now Grape-Nuts are almost his only food and he is once more a healthy, happy, rosy-cheeked youngster with every prospect to grow up into a strong healthy man." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
The sweet of Grape-Nuts is the Nature-sweet known as Post Sugar, not digested in the liver like ordinary sugar, but pre-digested. Feed the youngsters a handful of Grape-Nuts when Nature demands sweet and prompts them to call for sugar.

And we will make concessions.

And we will do the rest.

To read and scan its pages,
For there you'll find food for the mind,
From the poets and from the sages.

A LANKY, BLACK FELINE
At midnight when the clouds are
casting silhouetted shadows from the
trees, when all ix wierd and ghostly
in the suburbs, If a lone, lanky, black
feline suddenly darts out of the bushes
ahead of you and persists In crossing
the street, it is a sign that the cat
wants to get to the other side of the
thoroughfare,
eae
A Late Joke.
Here is one of the latest:
He—"Why was Eve created?”
She—"I give it up.”
“So soon?”
“Even 50."
“For Adam's express company.”
“That's an old one, What was the
first present Adam vver gave Eve?”
“The core of the apple.” ‘
“No, a pair of slippers
“There were no slippers in Eden,”
“Indeed! Adam plucked @ banana,
ate it, and handed Eve the skins. If
you don't believe they were slippers
try stepping on one, when you aren't
looking.”
‘Too much knowledge has been
kuown to strangle happiness.

MRS. M. BRICKNER
99 Eleventh Street, Milwaukee, Wils.
"A short time ago I found my condition very serious, I had headaches, pains in the back, and frequent dizzy spells which grew worse every month. I tried two remedies before Peruna, and was discourged when I took the first dose, but my courage soon returned. In less than two months my health was restored."—Mrs. M. Brickner.
The reason of so many failures to cure cases similar to the above is the fact that diseases peculiar to the female sex are not commonly recognized as being caused by catarrh.
Catarrh of one organ is exactly the same as catarrh of any other organ. What will cure catarrh of the head will also cure catarrh of the pelvic organs. Peruna cures these cases simply because it cures the catarrh.
If you have catarrh write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, O.

Hardy Japanese Soldiers
According to M. Pichon, the Japanese soldier has muscles like whipcord, is a sure shot, has an eye for landmarks and a memory for locality. He can do with three hours' sleep out of the twenty-four, is cleanly, attends to sanitary instructions and is ardently patriotic. He costs the State about nine cents a day and thinks himself well off.
Origin of Signing the Cross
The cross was used in signing in the beginning of Christianity by all followers of Christ to distinguish them from the pagans, and it was also used as a pledge of the truth of the matter signed. This cross remains to this day in the signature of ecclesiastics, as well as being testimony of the illiterate.
Facts vs. Fiction.
The poet sat at his desk one day and dashed off a beautiful rhyme of gold and jewels in such a way that it made folks think his time was occupied handling gems so rare; but most of his time was spent in wondering if he'd dine on air—for the poet hadn't a cent.
Only a Lesser Misfortune.
There are numerous societies which pay an allowance to the relatives of people in case of death of the member. There appears to be a good opening for organizations that will pay money to members in cases of a birth. It costs to be born, as well as to die.
Lion and Unicorn.
The lion is the emblem of England and the unicorn of Scotland. On the union of Scotland and England in 1603, one of the lions was removed from the British coat of arms and the unicorn substituted.
A Gruesome Rosary.
A rosary which would be a treasure for the Thirteen club has been brought home recently by a traveler in Tibet. It comes from Lhasa, and is formed of 113 rings made from the skulls of 113 priests.

LANDLORD Well Supplied.
The young man suffering from over-study arrived at the resort in the "lonely mountains."
"Ten dollars per day?" he gasped, reading the rates over the desk.
"Certainly, sir," responded the suave proprietor. "I hope you' will understand that this is a nerve sanatorium."
"I should say it is, and you have the most nerve of all."
The Collector—What! Mr. Owing not in! Why, there he is, before my very eyes! The Office Kid—Aw—wot! That ain't the old man. He's out! That's only his shadow!—Jester.
His Title There.
"My wife and I are going to spend the summer with her people at Strong's Corners," said the meek, little man, "and I want you to mail your paper to me."
"Yes," said the clerk; "what's your name?"
"Well—er—to make sure, I guess you'd better address it 'Mary Strong's Husband, Strong's Corners.'"
Regular Custom
"Did you follow my advice and send your 'mint-julep' poem to the editor of that Kentucky magazine?"
"Yes; and he took it."
"Of course he did. Didn't I tell you no true Kentuckian would decline a mint julep?"
"That's all right; but he paid me only 15 cents for it."—Judge
Not Quite Certain.

Raphael was explaining his fame. "It was easy," he confessed. "I simply told every woman on the block that I had painted my cherubs from hers." Bitterly he regretted he had wasted his talents on art instead of shining in politics.—Harper's Bazar.

The World as We Look at it
When we look at the world in a narrow way, how small it seems!
When we look at it in a mean way, how mean it is! When we look at it selfishly, how selfish it is! But, when we look at it with a broad, generous and helpful spirit, what a beautiful world it is, and what wonderful people we find in it!—Boston Christian Register.
Bread of the Nations
Even the poor in the United States and England eat white bread. In most of the continental countries of Europe rye bread is the staple. The Russians use buckwheat. The Laplanders have a bread made of oaten meal mixed with pine bark, and the Icelanders make their flour from lichens. Banana flour is used in the South Sea islands.
Chinese Wisdom
When the sword is rusty, the plow bright, the prisons empty, the granaries full, the steps of the temple worn down and those of the law courts grass-worn; when doctors go a-foot, the bakers on horseback, and the men of letters drive in their own carriages, then the empire is well governed.-Chinese Saying.
Boston Clock Over 100 Years Old.
The clock upon the organ loft in the old North church of Paul Revere fame is more than 100 years old. It was cleaned and repaired a quarter of a century ago by a Boston watchmaker, whose only charge for the work was the privilege of engraving his name upon the back of the ancient timepiece.—Boston Record.
Unsympathetic in Perfumes.
The perfume which delights one person may arouse the deepest dislike in another. It is related by Plutarch that a Spartan lady paid a visit to Berence, the wife of Dejotarus, but one of them smelled so much of sweet ointment and the other of bitter that neither of them could endure the other.
Ancient and Modern Wrestling
Ancient wrestlers were permitted to rub their hands on the sand in the arena, but wrestlers of to-day are debarred from using resin, drug or any preparation to increase the tenacity of their hold.
Prefer American Machines.
Although American sewing machines cost twice as much in Constantinople as the European, more than two-thirds of the 10,000 sold there in 1903 were of American make.
Art
Some people think they know all about art as soon as they can speak or motifs and tones and high lights without mixing them in at the wrong places.
Look After Employees' Welfare.
A New York department store employs a "social secretary" whose duty is to look after the welfare of saleswomen and cash girls.

M.
Mrs. Rosa Adams, niece of the late General Roger Hanson, C. S. A., wants every woman to know of the wonders accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I cannot tell you with pen and ink what good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for me, suffering from the ills peculiar to the sex, extreme latitude and that all gone feeling. I would rise from my bed in the morning feeling more tired than when I went to bed, but before I had used two bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, I began to feel the buoyancy of my younger days returning, became regular, could do more work and not feel tired than I had ever been able to do before, so I continued to use it until I was restored to perfect health. It is indeed a boon to sick women and I heartily recommend it. Yours very truly, Mrs. Rosa Adams, 819 12th St., Louisville, Ky.
Any women who are troubled with its regular or painful menstruation, weakness, leucorrhea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, general debility, and nervous prostration, should know there is one tried and true remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. No other medicine for women has received such wide-spread and unqualified indorsement. No other medicine has such a record of female cures.
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: — I am very pleased to recommend Lydin E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for womb and ovarian difficulties from which I have been a sufferer for years. It was the only medicine which was at all beneficial, and within a week after I started to use it, there was a great change in my feelings and looks. I used it for a little over three months, and at the end of that time I suffered no pain at the menstrual period, nor was I troubled with those distressing pains which compelled me to go to bed, and I have not had a headache since. This is nearly a year ago. I always keep a bottle on hand, and take a
few doses every week, for I find that
