wonder that Tommy slipped in.
He caught the edge of the board and held
on with all his might screaming for help.
Through the open outside door he could see
Mrs. Potter sitting by the back parlor win
dow, sewing and she could easily have
heard him scream, if she only hadn't been
deaf
The boys on the hill made too much noise
to hear him. He was hanging in the ice
cold water almost to his waist, and his hands
and arms were so tired that he thought he
must let so and drop in, when little Nell
came and stood by the window where her
mother sat, and she caught sight of Tommy.
He saw her pull her mothers sleeve, and
point to him, and then it was no time at all
before Mrs. Potter had him out of his cold
bath and into the house in hot blankets.

What the Shakers Relieve.

The Shaker doctrine as now formulated,
presents the following points Believe in a
God who is over all. That in the godhead
are the male and female principles, father
and mother. That created by Him and
sent forth by Him, are many spirits who
will guide safely those to whom they were
sent. The highest of these spirits is the
Christ first descending upon Jesus, who was
the son of Mary and Joseph, and then upon
Ann Lee. The direct guidance of every be-
lever by the Christ order of spirits. The
rejection of the books called the Holy cSrip-
lures as containing all the word of God.
The consequent disuse of the saeraments
commanded in the Bible. The enforcement
OF virgin purity, abstinence from mar
rage, and from all that offends against
chastity. A community of goods, OF affec-
ton and interests The following of the
moral virtues, love, peace, justice, holiness,
goodness, truth. An open confession of
every known sin. Temperance, Don-resist-
ance, freedom from worldly ambition.

Henry,s white Plume Black.

Paris American Register.
We have lost another illusion. The royal
ist papers tell us that among the historical
souvenirs which adorn the salons of Frohs-
dorf is the famous plume of Henry ~, only
this famous white plume" is black. What
now becomes of the celebrated historical
phase attributed to the father of the Bour-
bons, which has figured in books of history
for several centuries? Follow my white
plumel You will always find it on the way
of honor" Now the white plume turns out
to be black one. Then why did our teach
ers of history, and even Henry " himself
tell us it was white? Perhaps the Narvarrais
said: Follow my black plume" and was in
correctly reported at the time. Or it may be
that the famous plume has grown black with
age, though age usually has contrary effect
even on chocolate, which, when genuine,
grows gray as it grows old. Another suppo-
sition is that the good and eonfding king
bought the plume of some dishonest trades
man, who had colored the black one white
and the color was not fast. We cannot do
more than throw ont hints for the students
of history; the hypothesis to be made on this
entangled historical puzzle are as mum erous
as the problem itself is important.

The Church of the Future.

DR.. Bruce, professor of divinity in the Free
Church College, of Glasgow. delivered the
address at the closing of the Lancashire In
dependent College. 1t was very remarka-
BILE one, considering the source whence it
came. DR.. Bruce does not think that the
church i'll any of its branches is doing its
work-at least the work which requires to
be done. Neither by the church of the past
nor by the church of the present had the di-
vine glory been fully manifested He was
not sure but that if ministers were working
men and not ministers, many Of them might
not be found among the lapsed. There was
need and there was room for improvement.
The church of the future would be different
from the church Of the present, but it would
be in accordance with the law of continuity
There would be no separating gulf between
the church that is and has been and the
church of the coming age. Progress would
be along the historical line. The church to
be would differ from the church that has
been in being fuller manifestation of the
glory of God. 1t would be evangelical in a
true, catholic sense and imbued with divine
love. 1t would be church narrow enough
to exclude Strauss with his worship of the
universe, and to include only those who be-
lieved In Living Will at the heart of the
universe, directing all to glorious consum-
nation exceeding the highest hopes, and
broad enough to include all who held this
faith in whatever form. Christ would be its
head, and His influence would be felt in
every department of national life.

GOSSIP ABOUT FASHIONS.

Variety rules in fashions for the present
season.
The newest material for wedding robes is
velvet brocaded repped silk.
There is no limit to com binatlons this sea-
son. Suits, laces, ribbons. trimmings of all
Kinds and even gloves partake OF it.
Large bustes are little worn, although
dresses are, for the-most part, very bouffant
IN the back. Trains are in the minority, the
handsomest fabrics being made short, or at
least with adjustable trains, which are gen
orally left Off
One of the most noticeable features Of fash
lonable dress at the seaside is the fancy for
small capotes and tiny turbans to match the
dress. Lace bonnets are the first choice, with
mowers or merely knot of velvet for trim
ming; feathers are less worn, since they soon
lose their curl in the salt sea air.
There is great fancy for sacques of fan
mel, OF cashmere or of light cloth, and fancy
runs riot in these Some are daintily en-
6roldered, Others edged with swans down, or
profusely trimmed with ribbon and lace;
some are braided, and others yet are merely
machine-sttched on the edge cut into
vandykes or turrets and bound with ribbon,
Sometimes pretty spray of flowers or bunch
OF frult is wrought on each scallop.

by young girls. 1t comesin fancy lace straw

side with velvet Sometimes the brim is
caught up at one side. but usually the hat is
worn in true shepherdess fashion. The
velvet lining contrasts or corresponds in tint
with the flowers wherewith the hat is
decorated. Field flowers look best against
dark blue velvet lining, pink roses against a
black one, and peoples, shading to flesh
tints, against very deep ruby one. Some of
the hats are lavishly trimmed with dropping
plumes and huge scarlet roses or with a
wreath of yellow hollyhocks. The rage for
bright yellow flowers is, however, on the de-
cline.
The most becoming wraps for the head
after dance are the large white or black
Spanish lace scarfs. They are made express
ly for this purpose, with pointed centers,
which fit over the head, the drapery hanging
freely about the shoulders. Perhaps equally
becoming and far less expensive are the
clouds" of white or light colored zephyr,
which can be readily made at home, either
| in one long straight piece or in three-cornered
style, one corner being caught up in pleats,
and decorated with a bow of ribbon at the
top, drawn in at the back of the neck, and
finished off with handsome ribbons to tie at
the front. White zephyr, loosely worked and
| intermixed with colored embroidered silk,
| has the prettiest effect

National Republican.
"When yoa hear stories about the negroes
of the South going over to the Democrats"
put in gentleman from below Mason and
Dixon's line, you can put il down as lie.
In local con tests they are liable to vote any
way in the South or not vote at all, but in
presidential elections they will be found
voting the Republican ticket. They are su-
perstitiously loyal to the Republican party.
Democratic negroes in the South are as scarce
as white blaekbirds. Some of them may say
they are Democrats but they do not mean
it, and do not vote that way. If they are
given fair count they will carry Louisiana,
Mississippi, Florida and North Carolina.
Virginia goes without saying
1.-The hatreds eBgendered by the war are
dying out, and the whites are becoming i'm
pressed with spirit OF liberation and politi-
cal liberty heretofore unknown. Thousands
of Southern people summer in tine North,
and thousands of Northern people spend
their winters in the South The people OF
the two sections are intermingling, intermar-
rying and joining hands in business enter
prises. We of the South have caught sight
of the first rosy bushes of the dawn of new
day and we welcome the advancement of
the light"

july is month to test your staying pow
ers'' in the city, if you are lin society,"" and
to interest you, as a test of other peoples if
you are not 1t is a social rush The in
slant July sets in people lose all interest in
their neighbors' affairs, in their business,
and, in fact, in almost everything except
getting into the country, or fleeing to the
mountains or the seashore. But neverthe-
less, on the verge of the rapids, and in face
of the heat and the rush and the hurry, peo-
pie are still agitating the question of the
fashions-what they are going to wear at
Saratoga or Sharon or Newport, what heav-
emily dancing toilets madame will improvise
for those who love to mingle with the gay
throng, and what new yachting dress
the tailors will devise for those who seek the
watering-places for health and recreation
alone. Fashion we call tickle dame, yet
tickle or not there never was time when
it was easier 10 follow in her footsteps
than now. Every style is fashionable, and
all one has to do is to choose the material
with care, thinking twice before selecting
color and trimmings; after that you may
adopt any style you fancy, and may rest as
sured that your dress is quite la mode, always
provided the fit is good. That proclaims the
modiste at once. The cut and style may be
as simple as a riding habit or as elaborate as
French tea-gown; but the fit must be per-
feet or you and your gown are nowhere.

The lady was costumed in an exquisltely-

dainty hat and white silk parasol with deep
lace border completed her toilet Her
hands were conspicuous for the number of
rings which flashed and glittered on the
fingers, that we're left exposed by fine lace

of the ready-made quality; his shoes were
dusty and his hands dingy and unpleasant

conversation that they were husband and

the ACCESSIBILITY of going somewhere

drew handkerchief from his coat pocket,
