have known but two men who would
ask blessing upon table in hotel or
boarding house. One of them was Gen
Wiltse, sof Dubuque, and the other as
Charles Lyman, the chief examiner OF the
civil-service commission. When General
Wiltse was interested in Big fouring-min
at Pickwick, Mimi, he sent his family 10

village hotel for his meals. l was there
when he took his first dinner with the men.
Coopers teamsters, mllers and all hands
rushed to the long table and began hasty
American scramble for the hash when the
old General pounded the table with his fist
and shouted: 'Order, here. men; you're a
- ungrateful lot to act like hogs at a
trough in this way. Thank God for what He
gives YOU" Thereupon he said grace before
eating This was continued during his stay
at the hotel. About year ago boarded at
the same place with Mr.. Lyman aud family,
and he never failed to be on time at break
fast and ask blessing. He is very good
man, and can be relied upon to do his duty
in a conscientious manner. He is sturdy

OF Baden, Bavaria, Saxony and Wurtemburg;
four Russian uniforms and one each of his
Austrian regiments of line and hussars. The
civilian suits are elegant and chiefly dark, al
though light pair of psrts,oons is now and
then tolerated; the regular head covering is
the high silkshat. The hunting suits are rarely
renewed, on the principle the older the bet
ter and more com Portable. Most of the in-
teresting pieces have long been sent to differ
ent museums, except the dress worn on the
day of Nobiling's attempt. Perhaps the
most remarkable piece is the Emperors
browish-gray havelock, which he wears in
the spring and fall on his drives, and with
which, although twenty-five years old, he is
not willing to part. All his uniforms and
suits are made by a member of the sans
family whose predecessors presented the
young Prince William with his first uniform.

as an indispensable one, viz, dressing

finished be said, "Wel, DR.. Binney, how do
you like itP" ''Oh," was the careful reply,
Il think it is remarkably well written, and
and there are many sharp and biting things
in it, By the way, Hall, have you fixed
upon title for it as yetp' mo, l have not,
replied DR.. Hall. Perhaps you can assist
me in that matter" Then DR.. Binney said
slowly and deliberately: while you were
reading some of those hard hits it occurred
to me that this would be good title, Go to
the Devil by the author of Come to Jesus
1t is needless to say that the hot-tempered
manuscript was never printed-indeed, the
story goes that it was torn up in DR., Binney's
study.
Prof. Francis Bowen, of Harvard brings to
notice an almost-forgotten translation of the
Bible by Charles Thomson, who was secre-
tary of the Continental Congress, and pub
lished his work in 1908 Thomson was a
distinguished teacher of Latin and Greek in
Philadelphia, and he spent the better part of
twenty-eight years Oh his version of the
Scriptures. Prof. Bowen has been examin-
ing the book, and it is his deliberate judg-
ment that in many respects it is better than
the revision of 1881. Thomson anticipated
some OF the changes recently made. He
printed the texts in paragraphs, and the
songs and poetical citations as poetry in lines
OF unequal length. He also omits the pas
sage in the first epistle of John concerning
the three that bear record in heaven" and
he prints In brackets the Doxology at the
close of the Lords prayer, mentioning in
foot-note tEatln many ancient manuscripts"
it is not found.

Christianity in India.

In speech made at one of the anniversary
meetings in London Dr. Bevan, recently of
New York, gave some instructive figures re-
garding Christianity in India. The question,
he said, no longer was how India shall be
taken for Christ for it is already His. The
number of native Christians in India, Bur-
nah and Ceylon in 1851 was 100000; in 1861,
213, 900; in 1871 5000, and in 1881, 52s, 600
an increase in thirty years of 436,00 In
India alone during the period referred to the
number had swelled from 81 600 to All, 900.
In that country the number of native Chris
tians in thirty years had quintupled. DR..
Bevan spoke hopefully also of the progress
OF Christianity in Japan, in Madagascar and
other regions from which at no distant
period it was rigidly excluded. When one
remembers that in the Queens Indian em-
pire there are 5000, 900 people one cannot
close ones eyes to the fact that the Chris
tians in that land are as yet sadly in the mi
nority. 1t is hard to believe that the day OF
victory is close at hand. But nations are not
to be born in day

SPRING AND SUMNER STYLES

The favorite flowers for children's hats this
season are daisies.
Flower dog-collars, and fans to match,
Will be pretty feature of summer evening
dress.
Some of the prettiest ginghams for seaside
wear are those with tiny check patterns, in
light pink or blue and white. The most sat
lsfactory way of making them is with the
Norfolk waist and plain gored skirt, trimmed
with shirred founees.
For children from two to six wears of age
the priettiest little null hats are in fashion.
They are in various colors. and also in plain
white edged and trimmed with lace. The
sailor shape is the most popular, the fiat
brim being lined and shirred.
Amber is a very fashionable color, and
one of the most beautiful importations from
Worth is an amber satin reception costume.
The court train opens over a petticoat oil
ruby velvet covered with very deep amber
lace iounces. The bodice is pointed and
sleeveless and is trimmed with magnlh-
cent embroidery of gold, ruby, and amber
beads, which glisten like gems in the gas
light, this embroidery heading ia II OF
amber lace. The effect of this dress is beau
titul beyond description.
new material has found a good deal of
favor in London; it is known as the Tel-el-
kebir cloth, and is something like nuns
yelling only considerably thicker. In con-
sideration, perhaps, of its Eastern name it
exhibits the most gaudy colors and startling
contrasts, scarlet peoples, brilliant sunf1oW-
ers and highly -colored roses being the usual
designs upon black or dark grounds ribbons
and silk to match are equally brilliant; it is
not a very serviceable material, and its popu-
larity is likely to be even shorter lived than
most fashions.
The most stylish collars for all but evening
wear are of plain narrow embroidered linen,
with cuffs to match, TO be worn over the
sleeves OF the dress. For home wear
in the evening a good many young
ladies give a preference to those in
Spanish embroidery upon fine batiste, the
shape remaining the same. Little girls wear
very deep collars either of linen, edged with
embroidery of lace, or embroidery appliqued
on to scrim. Some of them are so large that
they have the appearance of shoulder capes,
and for children in arms are always deep
enough to cover the the upper part of the
sleeve.
The maybe fashion is again popular, and
black and white toilets abound. This is no.
ticeable, first, in the great number of checks,
plaids, stripes and blacks in this combina-
ton, in medium priced fabrics. Then come
summer silks, merveilleux, surahs, foulards
and satins, and extending to rich evening
dress. Some of the most elegant and I'M
common imported toilets consist of white Of
toman silks combined with black Lyons vel
vet, white surahs covered with superb
fiounces OF black lace, and, most novel OF ali,
trained dresses of snowdrop white satin or
silk adorned with broad bands of black ostrich
feather trimming, and India silk mulls nearly
covered with embroideries in black silk floss.

A Relic of Andrew jackson.

Nashville Banner.
w. H. Wilkinson, while looking over some
papers a few days ago belonging to his grand
father, John Francis Wilkinson, found the
funeral invitation that was printed inviting
friends to the funeral of General Andrew
Jackson. The ticket was in the old style,
the letters in black type, surrounded with a
heavy black border. and more like a hand
bill than the funeral notices of the present
day, but all the fashion then. The wording
Of the ticket was as follows

A JOKE ON BISHOP PECK.
The Undergraduates Idea of Fun Thirty
Years Ago.

Years Ago.
Pittshurg Dispatch,
The death of Bishop Peck recalls an incl
dent that made national mirth at his expense
over thirty years ago-a clever trick Of the
undergraduate boys of Dickinson College Car
Isle, Pa, perpetrated soon after his accession
to the presidency of that institution. Mon
cure d. Conway, then a Methodist preacher
in prospect, has the traditional credit of
being one of the devsers of the scheme. In
the spring of 1949 the Baltimore Methodist
Conference held its annual session i'll Staun-
ton, Va, the seat of one of the three State
lunatic asylums. While President Peck was
on his way to the conference the young ras-
Gals in the college of Carlisle wrote TO
the superintendent of the Staunton asy-
lum that lunatic had escaped from
man, very bald-headed, with great, round,
staring blue eyes, whose special form of
madness was that he was Methodist preach
err and president OF Dickinson College, an-
swerng to the name of DIR. Peck. The
friends of this gentleman would be obliged
to the Staunton superintendent If he would
watch the cars and quietly take charge of
him. The superintendent was on hand,
singled out his man readily, and courteously
addressed him, DIR. Peck, believer Yes.
sir" president of Dickinson CollegeT'
YES, sir" II have a carriage in waiting for
you." "You are very kind" said the I'M
suspecting stranger, as he took his seat in
the vehicle and was forthwith whirled of
to the lunatic limbo, where he would have
been incarcerated as a dangerous maniac if
the preachers of the conference had not iu-
terfered and assured the incredulous keeper
of Old Dominion cranks that the Falstatiian
doctor was as sane as the average of human
ity, and only the victim OF ridiculous

The difference Between Blue and er.s.

Rev II. 4. Goblin at GreencastIe.
There is disposition to seek for reconcilia-
ton, but we must not seek for it by con-
fusion of terms. We must not say that
those who wore the gray were equally patri-
otto and fought for their country the same
as those who wore the blue The difference
is as great as between white and black. The
cause for which these men fought was JUS
tice and right. If we concede for the pur
pose of reconciliation that those were equally
right, we abolish all the distinction there ii
between right and wrong We are willing
to concede that they were brave. and made a
gallant fight, and we might be willing to put
flowers on their grave as testimonial TO
their bravery and endurance, but never as a
concession that they were right Such an
acton would be unjust to our fallen COM
ra,les.

Bismarck and the Kaiser.

There is a valuable religious lesson in the
following little story about a great states
man: Prince Bismarck, when a boy, was re-
buked by his father for speaking of the King
as Fritz" Learn to speak reverently of
his majesty" said the old Squire of Varzin,
land you will grow accustomed to think of
him with veneration." Young Bismarck laid
the advice to heart and to this day the great
Chancellor always lowers his tone and as
sumes a grave, worshipful look when he
alludes to the Kaiser. If message is brought
to him from the Emperor by word of mouth
or in writing, he stands up to receive it,
Bismarcks father was right about
the principle of reverence and its
cultivation. The man who INDUCES
in irreverent speech about religious
things, will soon show serious loss of right
religious feeling; while, on the other hand.
there is a great religious power in habits of
reverence that seem to be only forms. 1t
would be well for US if we could all treat the
Almighty with the generating and sacred re-
spect which marks Prince Bismarck's rela-
tions with his earthly sovereign.

New York Evening Post.

New York Evening Post.
An excellent way to model and moderniZe
an old silk dress, black or light-colored is to
take all the old trimmings off the skirt and
bodice, leaving it perfectly plain. Ii there
is enough material and sufficient ingenuity
to form the old shape of the waist and
breadths of the skirt into plain princesse
slip, the way is then clear. Trim the skirt
with founces of Oriental lace, which now
comes in beautiful designs at remarkably
low prices If there is sufficient goods TO
make an alternate ruffie or fan pleating of the
silk, it will make all the less lace to buy II
the silk is black, Spanish lace can be
purchased for as reasonable a sum as the
Oriental. For the overdress, place over the
silk skirt paniers made of Oriental
net edged with a fall of the lace. The drap-
cry in the back may be of the untrimmed net
alone, or may match the trimmed paniers.
If the silk of the bodice is in good condition
a bertha of the net, finished with double
frills of the lace, will elegantly complete the
trimming ii not, cut the bodice out half
low in the neck, the sleeves short, and veil
the arms and neck with the net; knots of
gay-colored ribbon, or sprays of flowers and
foliage will then complete the magical effect
of the renovation. Thus can be had q
a very dressy, very tasteful, and an ex-
ceedingly fashionable toilet which can be
obtained at a moderate expense from dress
which even your great-grandmother wore.

Fabrics for Summer Wear.


Boston Advertiser.
All the veilings are to be ip fashion this
season. and will be worn either singly or in
combination with merveilleux, white polka
dotted foulards fine patterned brocades,
and also with fine French MORE. The
charm of these sheer wool fabrics is that they
are so light in texture that they are not
burdensome, and are almost, if not quite, as
cool as the old-tme bareges, which were
once the idle summer gowns Then, too,
the yelling meets so many occasions. 1t
may be used in plain fashion fol- simple
morning toilets, made still more dresSy for
the afternoon, or, carried to a height OF
elaboration, made suitable for evening
toilets. For morning wear there are the
bordered nuns yeilings of white with blue
or cherry coiored stripes near the edge, or
with notified colors like the Indian cashmere.
These morning toilets are made up with
short festooned polonaise on pleated
skirt, which is an effectively pretty
fashion of treating the fabric, or it has a
short basque and wrinkled apron overskirt
that shows the colored or mottled lines
around the overskirt and on the front of the
pleatings Cherry-red yelling is used for
the basques where the skirts are of the
white and red striped material This soft
cherry color, brilliant and effective, is newer
than the strawberry, terra-cetta and rasp-
berry shades, and threatens to supersede
them in great measure, especially for sum-
mer toilets. This is a relief, for we have
had the latter shades adj nauseam, For al
ternoon toilets the plumetes and plain en-
broidered velings are used in combination
with plain yelling, satin surah or marveil-
leux. Both dark and light colors are used,
but there is a special fancy just at present
for the blue shades. When this embroidered
or brocaded fabric is used in combination, it
is employed for the underskirt, while
the basque and draperies are of the same
material For evening costumes there
is quantity of lace used, as
for instance in a model which was shown by
private modiste in this city. The round
skirt of old osepink was covered with ruff
f1es of lace of the same soft, exquisite color.
The skirt itself was of the yelling over
thin lining silk of the same color. The dra-
peries were of the yelling, and they were ar
ranged quite high on one side, and held in
place by graduated loops and ends of pink
ottoman ribhcn about two inches in width.
The body was close-fitting cuirass basque,
the edge simply piped with pink silk the
| body was square both back and 'front.' and
was finished with soft frils of pink lace; the
elbow sleeves were entirely of the lace, fin
ished with frils of the same. 1t was a very
dainty costume. For black nuns yelling
dresses a new fancy is to have the skirt of
blocks of black and white, which is also one
of the novelties in the veilings; this is made
in deep pleatings, and the plain black over
skirt is quite untrimmed except by the
large square Jet buckles that catch it upon
the hips. Black Breton lace is preferred to
Spanish laces for these wool dresses.

REAVER ToWNsf1IP.

W. H. H. Bates has gone into the
milling business, having purchased a
Giant feed mill, and is grinding for one
eighth, and as the mill at Logan grinds
for one fifth, he has all he can do. 1
think it would pay every two or three
farmers to club together, get mill and
grind all the grain they feed. They
will save one fourth by so doing, as
those who have tried it can testify.
Most all our farmers around here are
going to plant largely of amber cane,
some of them as much as 80 and 100
acres.
Clapp and Campbell have ordered an
8 horse cain mill TO be run on Crooked
Greek. Stephenson and Eldridge will
also nave one of the same size and run it
on Beaver Creek. So, youl. see, the
Beaverites will be we'll supplied with
sweetning next year. "B."
