A 500, 900 WASHINGTON residence

ASIA is ample enough in area to af

NEvADAs population is not more

"The Beauty of Holiness"

There is a longing, often underlined,
in every human being for holiness. At
times it is the wish of soul afar off
who sees the golden-tipped hills in the
distance and yearns, even in his de-
Spair, to reach them. At others it is
the increased desire of one who stands
even at their feet and seeks to reach
their SUBMITS. But, however inher-
ent this desire may be, it is not pri-
marily awakened by the beauty of holt
ness. We love the wild landscapes
which border the home of our child
hood although they are wholly Invested
of artistic beauty. We fain would look
into the far future, even though it may
have only sadness to reflect. So the
charm of holiness which awakens de-
sire for its possession is not engendered
by its artistic beauty, but by its moral
worth and jOy-giving power.
And yet there is an mquestioned
beauty in holiness-an artistic COM
bining of pure ideals which instructive
ly appeals to every heart. 1t is beauty
in the abstract, underlined in form and
loved for itself. AS perfect beauty is
seldom attained, as the ideal of the
artist is never fully realized, so perfect
holiness is practically unattainable, but
its possession in greater or less inten-
sity is possible to all.
worship the Lord in the beauty of
holiness" To those who possess this
jewel of holiness the power to rightly
worship is given-the power to show
the deepest alteration by a life of
beauty; to illustrate the gospel of pu-
rity; to send aloft the aspiring prayer
of love and to swell the grandest music
of the soul.-Alliance

which says that eff a man would
thrive he must ask his wife's leave"
The records of history contain num-
berleSs examples of women who have
done for their husbands what Aaron
and Hur did for Moses: they have
held up their hands and supported
them at the greatest crisis of their
lives, and so turned what would have
been failure into triumph and sue
cess. And they contain examples,
too, of those who have accomplished a
far more difficult taSk-that of sus-
tanning and cheering when endeavor
and hope were dead. 1t is only neces-
Sary to mention the names of Ger
trude Won der Vert and Lady Rachel
Russell in proof of this. 1t may not
be uninteresting to give a few in
stances of women in our own genera
ton who have been to their husbands
helpers and fellow-workers, as well as
sympathizing companions, and who
have thus taken a position which is
unanimously acknowledged to be
most proud and honorable one-that
of helpmate to man. Among these
the name that is first thought of, prob
ably because it has so recently been
brought before public notice, is that
of Lady Augusta Stanley, the wife of
the Dean of Westminster. Herself
the daughter of peer, and one of the
most intimate of the Queens personal
friends, she possessed largeness of
heart and strength of intellect which
won respect and kindly feeling from
all who came in contact with her. She
sympathized most heartily with her
husband both in thought and work,
while the poor of Westminster found
in her tenderness and kindness a fire.

Long Wraps and POlonaises.

HINTS of fall styles come early this
year. Buyers who have been allowed
a glimpse of the fall and winter gar
mentS in preparation at the leading
Partisan houses. say the new wraps
will be very long, i'll many instances
covering the dress as ettectually as
waterproof cloaks do. The long silk
and cloth fur-lined cloakS of last year
will be worn again. The shapes Will
be circular, the Ulster, and the sleeVed
cloak that reaches almost to the bot
tom of the dress. Sacques will be long
and straight around instead Of droop-
ing in front. Nantes, DOlmanS and
scarfs will be made of soft cloth, cash
mere. Sicilienne and velvet. The
trimmings will be fur bands, feathers,
wide galloon and braids. 4 new fur
is announced for trimming rich clOaks.
The long shapes are being made not
only of rich and expensive materials,
but of such lOw-priced fabrics that
these large wraps can be sold for
twelve or fifteen dollars. Opera and
evening wraps are sleeved D0lmanS Of
cream white Sicilienne or camels hair,
trimmed with velvet, heavily embroid-
cred and edged with feather bands.
The long fur-lined cloaks will also be
worn in the evening, and to brighten
them up, as well as to cover the head,
is new opera shawl of India cash
mere. made square, with one corner
rounded and thrown over the head.
Cardinal, pale blue and cream-cOlor are
the favOrite shades for these shawlS.
At the first displays of fall costumes
polOnaises have apparently superseded
basqueS and OverskirtS; but the latter
will not be entirely abandoned, though
without doubt the polOnaiSe is to have
another season Of popularity. These

ure of these garments is an immense
bow placed behind, halfway down the
skirt, and which in many cases takes
the place of all drapery. The front is

without any added fullness, merely or

long pocket, which is placed very far
back, or else it may be caught in soft
irregular drapery, which is arranged
differently on each side. The trimming
is fringe, piping, and frills of narrow

sleeves are coat-shape, with quaint
narrow cuffs, or else slashed from the
elbow down and filled in with puffs.

GOOD team-not a pair OF poor,
srrawny skeletons, but strong, fast

team of horses or mules. Deep

poor team. There must be power
to turn over broad, deep fur-
row. When this is turned over, If a
team attached to a subsoil plow could
follow, uplifting the ground In the
same furrow, it would pay well Tor
tbe extra labor. There is an uplifting
subsoiler and a long, narrow mold
board subsoiler which turns over the
subsoil, throwing about one-fourth OF
the soil on the top of the turrow.
Every farmer ought to have both OF
these subsoil plows, to use as he may
prefer-and increased crops would
recompense him for their use.
But where the subsoil plow is not at

A disgraceful affair occurred at a
ball given in Stearns' hall Wednesday
evening, in which an ex-officer of our
police force distinguished himself in a
rather damaging way. Mr.. Twomey,
it seems. had imbined rather too freely
and without cause or the shadow of
pr0vocation, drew revolver and fired
at one of the party. The ex-officer
was a poor marksman, or his vision
was somewhat clouded, as he was not
more than six feet from his man and
he missed his aim. The bellicose in
dividual was then hustled out of the
hall, and after his revolver had been
taken away from him he was treated
to a sound drubbing and finally lodged
was arraigned before the Mayor and
fined ten dollars for disturbing the
peace. Afterwards warrant was
sworn out against him on the crimi-
nal charge of making an assault with
a deadly'weapon.
On Wednesday evening a man came
very nearly falling beneath the
wheels of train at the depot and be-
ing crushed to death. AS the train
was moving up the track, the man,
who it appears was partially intoxi-
Gated, came out of saloon and caught
hold of the railing of one of the for
ward or baggage cars. He failed to
reach the platform as he jumped and
was dragged along by his arms for full
ly block, until the train was stopped.
Had he lost his hold, he would have
been dragged beneeth the wheels of
the following car and crushed into a
shapeless mass. This only verifies
the saying that ga drunken man is
doubly insured"

There have been in town during the
