DreW's OrthOgraphy.

A good story is told 10y a friend of
Daniel Drew, which the news of his i'll
ness calls up. Remaining one envening
late in his Office, and having occasion
to use the safe, he permitted the cashier
to go home, remarking that he would
close the safe and fix the combination
on the word "door." But when the
cashier undertook to open the safe in
the morning, he found that the lock re-
fused to yield to the magic "door. I"
He tried, and tried again, but without
success. Finally, happening that
Daniels" early education had been
neglected, he attributed his ill-luck to
poor photography. He therefore tried
the lock upon "dore." Still no sue
cess and then upon "doar," with no
better fortune. Finally, becoming dis
gusted he proceeded to the st. Nicholas,
routed "Daniel" out of his choicest
morning nap, and as he stuck his night
cap out of the doorthis colloquy ensued !:
Mr.. Drew, can't open the safe on
door You must have concluded to
change the word" "Change the
word Nothin' o. the kind. shut it
on door care you sure, sir ?"
"Sure, sir, you tarnal ape, of course
I'm sure Go back to your work, and
don't come foolin round here this time
o mornin'." "Well, perhaps, Mr..
Drew, 1 dout spell the word right.
How did you spell it?" "Spell it !!
Any fool can spell door: D-o-a-r-e,
doare, of course. If you can't spell
door, sir, you're no cashier for me.
Pack up your buds and go out of the
door. ," And shutting the door" in
the cashiers face, Daniel returned to
his bed in a passion, and the clerk to
his safe. Armed with the open sesame
of "doare," however, the safe flew
open without further trouble, and when
Daniel arrived, Modified by good
breakfast and his morning prayer, he
advised his cashier that he might keep
his place, provided he would improve
his time and "go tn spellin skool in
the evenin'."

Dress Plainly.

Some one has given the following
reasons why people should dress plainly
on Sunday. These reasons are as valid
any other day in the week
1t would lessen the burden of many
who now find it hard to maintain their
place in society.
1t would lessen the force of tempta-
tions which often lead men to barter
honesty and honor for display.
If there was less strife in dress at
church, people in moderate circumstan-
ces would be more inclined to attend.
Universal moderation in dress at
church would improve the worship by
the removal of many wandering thoughts.
1t would enable all classes of people
to attend church in unfavorable weather.
Itwould lessen on the part of the rich
the temptation to vanity.
1t would lessen on the part of the
poor the temptation to be envious and
malicious.
1t would save valuable time on the
Sabbath.
1t would relieve our means from q
serious pressure, and thus enable us to
do more for good enterprises.

Feminine Fashions.

FASHIONABLE ladies have discarded
crinoline.
BLACK lace scarfs about the neck are
the substitutes for collars.
In dress material marine blue is one
of the fashionable colors.
SMALL lobe carriages are fashionable
those of pearl especially.
SOME of the new bonnets are good
imitation of the Shah's Sunday hat.
OUTDOOR costumes are very plain,
and devoid of all gaudy display.
GAUzE walls are fashionable, and, as a
rule, very becoming.
UNDREssED kid gloves are worn by
ladies on shopping excursions.
BRIDES now wear two walls, short
one over the face and a long one
depending from the wreath from the
back.
PASTE diamonds are as numerous
among the ladies as the genuine bril-
liants. "To what base use" ETC., etc.
A NEW kind of fringe made of lamb s
wool has been introduced. 1t is intend
ed for trimming.evening dresses of light
material.
JET ornaments, such rs stars, buttons.
loops and semi-circles, will be extern

Sunshine as q Force.

A good illustration of mans inability
for self support, Independent of sunshine,
is afforded by the following calculation :
The mechanical equivalent of the ver-
teal sunshine upon square mile of the
earth's surface is computed to be 3, 1913,
000,0 pounds raised foot high in a
second. Under the most favorable cir
cumstances, a square mile of terrestrial
soil receiving this amount of sunshine,
if planted with bananas, would yield,
accordingto the estimate of Baron Hum
boldt, $4,000 tons of nutritious food
yearly. This is the greatest amount of
food producing power of which the
earth appears to be capable. But this
quantity of food would suffice only 100,
600 men, whose united mechanical force
would not raise more than 10000, 900
pounds foot high in second. 1t
would, therefore, not be possible for
any number of men, by their mechan-
ical force, to produce anything like a
sufficient light and heat in the absence
of sunshine to raise from the soil the
food which is needful for their own sup
