Suspected Duties.

WE suppose that when Mr.. Moody
was preaching in the Hippodrome
there were hundreds who suspected
that they ought to initiate his life and
labor. Perhaps some of them ought
to do so; and the chances are that such
of them as ought to do so will do so.
They will be moved to it irresstibly
because the powers in them, CORE
spending to his, will clamor for their
natural expression. But a man who
is not moved to do this, is not convict
ed of being poorer Christian than
Mr.. Moody by that fact. Mr.. Moody
has gift for preaching-a gift for ap-
preaching men personally, and direct
ing them wisely-a gift that has been
greatly improved by use, of course, but
still a gift without which he could
never have begun his mission. Most
men have no gift for public speech,
and therefore public speech is no part
of their duty. They need not suspect
themselves on this account, or blame
themselves, or in any way make them
selves unhappy over it.
There are great many kinds of
work to be done in the world, and Just
as many varieties of men who are
made to do it. Nc one man can do the
work of another. The business of
each is to find exactly, or as nearly as
he can, the work he is best fitted to
do, and do it with all his might. This
entire, overshadowing burden of sus-
pected duties ought to be lifted, and
the great world of dissatisfaction and
self-condemnation that lies under it
opened to the sunlight of peace. Our
social and our religious teachers, es-
pecially the latter, have a duty in this
matter toward their disciples which
they need not suspect for moment.
They have no right to set man to do
ing that which ne can never do with
profit to himself or others, or instill
the feeling among those who listen to
their instructions that their duty lies
in lines outside of their conscious or
proved abilities. The man who does
his duty where he stands, with such
implements as God has given him, has
right to the enjoyment of peace and
satisfaction; and to make him suspect
that he ought to do something more
and something else, is to do him life
long injury and great wrong. 1t is
to make pitiful slave of one who has
the right to be free.-Dr. J. G.. Hol-
land, in Sc1'ibner for October.

EmaciatIon a Remediable Defect.

Lcanncss not only dctracts from personal
comelincss, but is an index that the blood is
deficient in nutrtivc properties. To remedy
emaciation, enrich and purify the blood,
which will then develop healthy flesh. This
object is most readily attained through the
agency of the great blood fertilizer and depu-
rent Hostcttcr's Stomach Bitlcrs, which en-
ables the stomach to extract from the food
taken into it ample nourishmcnt for the
system, removes ali obstacles to complete
digestion and assimilation, and by stimulat-
ing the kidneys to vigorous action, incites
those organs 10 strain from .he vital fluid
in its passage through them impurities
creating qualities. Not only do the Bittcrs
promote the development of solid fiber, but
they also increase muscular power and
elasticity, overcome nervousness, Danish
mental depression, and project the system
against disease.

princesse polonaise, and the costume

princesse polonaise, and the costume
is complete.
The long double breasted sacque suit
is good model for serviceable alpaca,
cashmere, or silk dresses, while the
warp may be of the dress material,
though it is designed for the soft fiexi-
BILE cloths now in market. Basket
woven cloths are the first choice; aft
er these come ermure figures and wide
diagonals. Black is the favorite color;
navy blue is also much used; occasion
ally the lighter gray cloths are made
by this pattern.
A black silk dress would look very
handsome made by this design, and
trimmed with pleatings and bows of
velvet. If it is desirable to add col
or, the bows can be lined with cardi-
nal silk, and the narrower lower pleat-
ing may be of the same dark red.
Plum-color, ink blue and bottle green
wooden suits are also made by this de-
sign, and trimmed with the gay cardi-
nal facings, or else merely with self
colored velvet.
The Boiteuse fashion of having the
sides arranged differently is more liked
than ever. A new design of this sort
has folds beginning high on the right
side under long-looped bows, crossing
diagonally to the left foot, and
trimmed straight up the first seam on
that side from foot to belt with gal
loon or pleatings; the fullness then
begins afresh, and is caught to the
middle of the back, where it is but
toned over the pleated train of the
lower skirt.
Pale linden-green, cream-color,
celeste blue and rose pink are the col
ors most often imported for evening
dresses. Many of these are trimmed
with rich embroideries on the gar
ment, or else applique borders OF
needle-work. The Quantity of fine
narrow -pleatings of silk and Of
, lisse exceeds any ever before used
The floral garniture is elaborate, con
| sisting usually of thick garland worl
: around the hips and passing down tn
{ middle of the back, or else of garland
} of different sizes placed at Opposit
2 angles on the sides. Foliage plants
f especially the dark red colors, are use
| for trimming dresses of pale blue o
f of cream-colOr.-H Baz0r.

Savings Banks.

THE savings bank system of the
world is the subject of an interesting
report by the Italian Bureau of Sta
tisticS to the Statistical Congress at
Buda-Pesth. The savings bank is
modern. The first institution of the
kind was opened at Berne, in Switzer-
land, in 1887. The first in the United
States was founded in Philadelphia
in 1918. In 1872, there were in Eu-
rope $1,000 savings banks, more than
half of them in Great Britain, and
holding quarter of the total deposits
of 81, 100, 100000. Three years later,
in the United States, there were less
than 700 savings banks, with $780,
100000 of deposits. The United
States has the heaviest amount of
savings deposits; England follows,
and Austria with Hungary comes next.
Denmark has the largest per capita
average of savings-about twenty
eight dollars for each inhabitant. The
United States and Switzerland have
twenty-five dollars each; England,
Germany and Austria have ten dollars
fer every inhabitant; and Italy five
dollars. Holland puts little faith in
savings banks, and in Russia proper
there were in 1872 less than $4,000
900 of savings deposits. The only
European institution that is as large
as the largest American banks is the
Vienna Bank, which has $4,000, 900
of deposits. The deposits of the
Caisse d'Epargne at Paris declined
from S14, 000,0 900 in 1910 to 5000, 900
in 1875. The Berlin Bank-a monop-
oiy-had at the close of 1874 only
100000 of deposits. In England
and in France the deposits are invest
ed in Government securities; in other
bonds and mortgages are
favorite investments; but in Norway
of the savings deposits
are in commercial paper.-Chicogo
Tribune.

Local News.

"MR. PERKINS," said Col. Bangs to
the reporter of the A1yus, 81 wish you
would stir around to-day and get up a
sensational local of some kind. The
papers been UNANIMOUSLY dull lately.
Now why can't you give an account of
sea-serpent that you saw off the
Capes yesterday engaged in fearful
combat with whale, during which
the whale swallowed the sea-serpent
all but the end of his tail, which stung
the whale to death-or something of
that understanding exciting and

An improvement has been ]

An improvement has been made
n gun fog signals-that is, in the con-
struction of the guns from which the
signals are fired. A new form of par
abola has been tried, in comparison
with the cone-shaped muzzle, and it is
found to excel it at long ranges. 1t
seems also to have been proved that
gun-cotton makes more noise than
gunpowder when equal weights are
used, and that parbolic reflector adds
to the power of the gun-cotton as well
as the powder. When large charges,
namely, three pounds of powder, were
fired from guns of various kinds in
competition with one pound charges OF
gun-cotton, which costs about the
same, there was found to be but little
difference in the intensity of sound
Even one and one-half pounds of gun,
cotton was found to give scarcely such
good results as the three-pOund
charges of pOwder.-N. Y. S2tn.

the bees make their honey therein
and that the poor cottager subsequent
ly, to appropriate the sweets, stines
the industrious insects which nave
swarmed there, Such, no doubt, was
the actual state of the case at one time;
but such an idea is very far from the
truth nowadays. The straw hive has
become a "house" of wood and glass,
in which the temperature is regulated
by thermometer; the bees are dealt
with as valuable property, not stlfled
recklessly, but "manipulated' by the
"apiarian," and the honey removed
without the loss of a single bee, and
without damage to the comb,
which it costs the insect so much labor
to make. An exhibition of this KIND
practically shows all this, and one be-
oins to understand that bees, where
properly farmed," may yield con-
siderable profit when one hive alone, as
shown by an exhibitor, can yield Ill
| pounds twelve ounces of honey and
comb, the value of which IS nearly
eight pound sterling, market price.
The exhibitors in the show are numer-
Gus. and many of the exhibits new and
cleverly adapted to their purpose.
There is a great variety of "houses, -
some as large, and like nothing so
much as dog-kennels; others like
"dolls'' houses, with folding doors and
shelves, and some again like dove cotes
and quite as fanciful. Inventions,
too, for extracting honey from the
"comb" are also numerously eX'
hibited, some worked on cOg-wheel ac-
ton being called express" extractors,
etc. The furniture exhibited is OF
great variety also, and much of it new
but necessary to those who "farn
bees for profit or pleasure. The specl
mems of honey in comb and eX
tracted are also numerous, and to these
may be added hives of bees to be seel
at work. bees swarming, etc. There
were entries for thirty-three out o
thirty-five classes into which the SHOW
was divided, and prizes of silver ant
bronze medals, certificates and none,
prizes in sums of three pound sterlin!
and under, were offered. Their
were in all 244 entries, and the eXhibi
ton, which is under the management
of the Bee-keepers' Association, wa

SOME interesting Druidical remains
have been discovered in France, in the
territory of Benque and Billiere, on
mountain which separates the valleys
of Oueil and Larboust, not far from
Luchon. They consist of several
groups Of cromlechs united by lines of
menhirs, with each principal cromlech
surrounded by several smaller circles.
Excavations have already been begun,
but not as yet carried very far. Sew
eral vases containing ashes and frag-
ments of human bones have, however,
been found in the interior of the small
er circles.

Household Taste.

A WRITER in the Boston Journal of
Chemistry says:
Every chair in the house should be
an easy chair, and be made expressly
to give rest and comfort to some one;
and every chair and other piece of
furniture should be strongly and hon
eStly made, and show at a glance that
it is so, and how and why it is 50. The
fashion of buying "sets" of furniture
of just 50 many pieces to a room, and
those perhaps not Just what are needed,
but such as are dictated by the dealer
OF uphOlsters, leads often to great and
unnecessary expense. The chairs for
a room should be selected as far as
possible to accommodate and make
comfortable those who will use them
most. They need not be of a similar
shape or size, or upholstered in the
same material, or even material of one
color, and the wood work may be wal
nut, oak, or ash in one and the same
room, and still there need be no Otfense
against good taste. Until people are
created of one unvarying pattern, it is
best to have reasonable variety in their
chairs. The bedsteads, at present
popular, have monumental backs,
panneled, scrolled and carved, till the
eye that views them grows weary as
the hand that strives to keep them
clean. The high, wooden heads have
no possible use; they do not even serve
to protect the sleeper from the
draught, for you cannot turn them
away from the wall, as one side is en-
tirely unfinished. Better a "prison
pattern" of clean plain iron than this
dirt-collecting humbug. A wooden
bedstead cap, however, can be
made which shall be clean,
comfortable, and sufficiently beauti-
full, without reSOrting to a
hospital severity of style. But after
all, it is the bed, and not the wooden
frame, or even the lace pillow
shams," that woos us to balmy sleep.
A householder with limited purse
and knack for carpentry, who is OPP
pressed by rooms full of furniture of
nightmare designs, might find relief
by saving and chiseling off all unreal
sonable and meaningless ornaments
$50 called. He could not fail to i'm
prove matters; he would gain in health
full exercise, and increase the family
store of hard wood kindiings. Tables
should stand firmly on four or more,
good straight legs and not be balanced
on one shaky pivot like teetOtum or
an inverted bottle. All furniture
should be finished all around, so that
any part can be turned to view, which
suits the arrangement or use for the
time. Furniture should be selected
piece by piece, as one has the good for
tune to find decent specimens. 1t is
better not to hurry, even if the house
has to be occupied half furnished, and
the stock completed as circumstances
will allow. Don't make things I'M
comfortable to please the neighbors
your home is not for them. Have ev-
erything made for use, and use the
best you have. Comfort and luxury
do not consist in the accumulation of |
things which make work for any one,
but in making life simple and in hav-
ing everything fit and good, not elabo-
rate and snowy. Put away all shams,
and lies, and so order your surround
ings that however modest, they shall
serve for what they were intended. If
they do this fully, they can never be
ugly.

AN exhibition of bees, their produce,
hives and bee furniture, was commenc-
ed at the Alexandra Palace, yesterday,
the show being arranged in the large
hall of that building, and thirteen long
tables or stalls being covered with the
exhibits. The idea of Bookkeeping in
the mind of the ordinary city dweller
appears to be that it is something
practiced by poor cottagers to help out
their small incomes. But in America,
Germany and Spain there are bee
farmers whose acres are covered with
hives. The general idea of a hive is
that it is a straw cap, something like
a dish-cover in shape, only round that
