The MoSchc0Vitz
Model Waist Lining !

A triumph of the art of drcssmaking.
The merits of this model waist lin
ing are too far-reaching to be explain
ed in an advertisement, and will only
be realized by trial.
The "Moschcowitz Bros" are the
"Worths" of New York City, and
their name alone in connection with
this lining will insure its acceptance.
So thoroughly does this great dis
covcry simplify the problem of waist
making that one has but to obtain the
correct bust measure, and, remember
ing it, can always secure pcrfect-fit-
ting pattern by obtaining one of these
Innings.
This lining is a good Silesia, and
printed upon its surface are cutting,
basting and sewing lines, and indica-
tons where to join. 1t puts within
the reach of every lady, so desiring,
the means of securing quick, grace
full and easy fit, and costs no more
than the price of the Silesia. Nothing
more simple, economical and complete
has ever been devised.
We are sole agents for Wichita.

A Doubter Comforted.

DR.. Owen, when young man, having
been for a considerable time in distress
of mind, went one Lords day, with a
cousin. of his, to hear Mr.. Calamy, a cele-
brated preacher in London. From some
occurrence, Mr.. Calamy was prevented
from preaching that day. Being uncer-
tain whether there would be any sermon
at all, DIR. Owen was solicited by his re-
lation to go and hear another eminent
minister, Mr.. Jackson Being indisposed
to go farther, however, he kept his seat,
resolving, if no minister came, to return
to his lodgings.
After waiting some time, a country
minister came up to the pulpit, a stranger
not only to DR.. Owen, but to the congre-
cation, who, having PRAYED earnestly,
took for his text these woods, "Why are
ye fearful, o ye of little faith? The
very reading of the words surprised DR..
Owen, on which he secretly put up a
prayer, that God would be pleased by
the minister to speak to bis case. And
his prayer was heard for in that SER
mon the minister was directed to answer
those very objections which he had com
monty formed against himself; and
though he had formerly given the same
answers to himself without effect, yet
now the time was come when God de
signed to speak peace to his soul and
the sermon Though otherwise a plain,
familiar discourse) was blessed for the
removing of all his doubts, and laid the
foundation of that solid peace and com
fort which he afterwards enjoyed.

Holy Enthusiasm.

We are 80 constituted that, without
our choice, the most potent sentiments of
our hearts are the most contagious.
Once let an individual become thorough
ly aroused upon any subject, and nothin
can prevent the importation of his enthu-
siasm to others; his own zeal, too, will
be increased by the breath of enthusiasm
from those souls who first caught the fire
from him. God intends that the conta-
gion of religious life shall aid in establish
ing his Church. "Ye are my witnesses -
Ye are the light of the world; eye
are our epistle, known and read by all
men )" Provoke one another to love
and good works." One untiring, con-
sistent, hopeful, and cheerful Christian
worker Is an inspiration to dozens of
others whose faith is weak. He is a
visible sign that the word of God is
quick, or living; he shows that the
doctrine of the Comforter on earth is not
myth, but a reality he proves that he
handles weapons that have not lost their
edge by the use of the past centuries
A holy enthusiasm is the life of the
Church, the power of the individual
Christian. Let us get an intelligent
view of the world and it's needs; the
Gospel and its adaptation to meet those
needs, and its wondrous success at this
day among the nations of the earth /;
and, above all, let us have deep heart
knowledge of its saving power in our own
experience, and then, through the blessed
Spirit, there shall come into our souls
that which shall quicken us for service,
and kindle fire in the hearts and lives
of those around us.

DEVOTIONAL POEMS By Sara Henderson
Smith. A. D. F. Randolph & Co.
We are accustomed to lay on the graves of
those who are gone clusters of flowers to testify
our love and our remembrance. In the volume
before us we have chaplet of golden hearted
lmmortelles, woven by the hand that was near
est and tenderest, and dedicated to the memory
OF one, who can never be forgotten by that wide
circle of which she was heart and centre
With rare and delicate reticence Gen. Smith
has gwen In his Introductory Preface the merest
glimpse of that inner life, SO hedged about by
the sanctlties Of home, that only one who can
read between the lines will be able to find the
key to much which this volume contains
Ruskin says of true wife in a true home
The stars only may be over her head; the
grass only under her feet; but wherever she is
1t Is home-a sacred place, vestal temple a
hearth watched over by the household gods"
Those only who knew the refined and gentle
author can have any adequate idea of what she
was in her devotion and self abnegation to the
circle about her fre-side. Had she chosen she
might have taken her place among the gay and
elegant, and won for herself the admiration
which graces and accomplishments are sure to
win. But she had no ambition to shine in such
circles. To her life was too real, too earnest,
too full of solemn purpose to be occupied with
the trifes of fashionable society. She would
fam have made her garden an Eden Her vio-
lets OF sentiment and affection-her pansies Of
delicate memories-her passion flowers of ex-
allied thought-some of whose clusters this vol
ume reveals, could not have breathed the hot
atmosphere of the worlds unspiritual society.
1t was well then to collect and bind together,
especially for the sake of those who loved her
best this wreath of sacred verse 1t is redolent
of her pure and tender nature so ready to soothe
the sad and sorrowing, to lead to higher en-
deavor the faint and faltering, and to confirm
those whose steps needed staying. Such things
this book will do, and a sweet mission it will
have in doing it. With her shrinking sensi-
tiveness she would perhaps not have wished to
step thus before the public; but it is natural for
those, to whom her earthly voice is hushed for
ever, to desire that it shall come back from the
starry distance.
We might designate particular poems as being
the BEST but we rather prefer to leave the selec-
ton to the readers own choice. And we lay
down the volume with the feeling that,
{" No creatures earnest work can fail so much.
That tbs not gathered as a grain of sand
To swell the sum of human action, used
For carrying out Gods purpose"
MARGARET ]. PRESTON.

Buried Alive.

A Paris correspondent writes-In the
French provinces we have recently had
TWO or three cases of people in a state OF
lethargy being declared dead. In one
instance man had actually been placed
in coffin, which the undertakers were
about to screw down, when he suddenly
moved an arm, to the terror of the work
people, VINO fed from the room. A
member of the family fortunately raised
the fallen lid at once, and the supposed
dead man was at once removed from the
coffin, and with proper treatment came to
life again. He is even reported to be
doing well. In another case a person
who showed signs of consciousness after
the certificate of death had been drawn
up only revived for few hours, and
then defnitively expired Still these in
stances have attracted considerable at
tention, and people afraid OF being buried
alive have inquired by what means death
could be proved beyond doubt. Dr..
Buch answers this question in a long
memoir which he has Just addressed to
the Academy in Paris. He has remark
ed, he says, that the temperature of a
live body rises sensibly on the surface Of
a muscle subjected to the action of the
electric current; whereas this rise Of
temperature is never noticed on a corpse
even during the first hours following
death, and when muscular contractibility
may be still considered perfect By this,
therefore, one would have a certain proof
Of death. Dr. Buch employs for his ex-
periments an ordinary mercury thermom-
eter, simply applied to the surface Of the
skin. He waits for his thermometer to
indicate the number Of degrees, notes
them, and then applies the current of
induction to the subjacent muscle. On
a live body the temperature Of the skin
rises several degrees under the influence
Of energetic contraction, and the phe-
nomenon subsists even if the limb be
paralysed. On corpse, however, no

Regeneration.

Life comes suddenly. This is the only
way In which life can come. Life can
not come gradually-health can, struc-
ture can, but not life. A new theology
has laughed at the doctrine of conversion.
Sudden conversion especially has been
ridiculed as untrue to philosophy and
impossible to human nature. We may
not be concerned in buttressing any the
ology because it is old. But we find that
this old theology is scientific.
There may be cases-they are probably
in the lority-where the moment of
contact with the Living Spirit though
sudden has been obscure. But the real
moment and the conscious moment are
two different things. Science pronounces
nothing as to the conscious moment. If
it did it would probably say that that
was seldom the real moment-iust as in
the natural life the conscious moment is
not the real moment. The moment of
birth in the natural world is not con-
scious moment-we do not know we are
born till long afterward. Yet there are
men to whom the origin of the new life
in time has been no difficulty. To Paul,
for instance, Christ seems to have come
at definite period of time, the exact
moment and second of which could have
been known. And this is certainly, in
theory at least, the nominal origin of life,
according to principles of biology. The
line between the living and the dead is
sharp line. When the dead atoms of
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen care
seized upon by life, the organism at first
is very lowly. 1t possesses few functions.
1t has little beauty. Growth is the work
of time. But life is not. That comes in
moment. At one moment it was dead !;
the next it lived. This is conversion, the
passing" as the Bible calls, from
death unto life" Those who have stood
by another's side at the solemn hour of
this dread possession have been conscious
sometimes of an experience which words
are not allowed to utter-a something
like the sudden swapping of chain, the
waking from a dream.-Drummond.

TIE Efficiency of Lightning
Rods.

There are innumerable instances on
record in which lightning has been seen
to strike lightning conductors with
luminous flash, and there are still more
In which the extremity of the rod bears
the traces of the passage through it of
lightning; but in every case, if the rod
has been of due size and properly con-
structed and fixed, the building associ-
ated with it has been entirely uniniured.
The truth obviously is that the question
OF efficiency and safety entirely hangs
upon the amplitude of the dimensions.
the number and position Of the points
and the completeness of the earth con-
tact, of conductors. In any case where
these are insufficient the hghtning-rod
is source of danger. In every case
where they are ample, and where the
system Of their establishment is sound
the protection is complete 1t will be
time enough to enter upon consideration
of the merits of the retrograde course
which is advocated in this ill-advised
scheme when any single case of failure
In lightning conductor of satisfactory
dimensions, and of tie sted perfection of
construction, has been established before
competent jury on incontrovertible
grounds. The failures incident upon
defective work-as all unbiased and
properly trained thinkers are aware-are
among the weightiest of the arguments
| that tell in favor of the employment Of
conductors.
La very large majority of the cases in
which accidents have occurred to build
lngs which have been furnished with
lightning conductors, the mischief has
been actually traced by competent in
curry to some easily recognized fault or
deficiency of construction. From " Pro-
lection against Lightning" IN Popular
Science Monthly for October.

The Great Need.

1t is faith. Have no fear that your
faith will root itself too deeply in the
Scriptures. To successfully withstand
the assaults OF infdelity it is essential that
the taproot of the tree of righteousness
strike deep down into the rich soil of d.
vine truth Let the Bible be kept always
in sight and at hand. There is ground
for suspicion and fear that many are not
mighty in the Scriptures, as it is their
privilege to be that to a large number
the inside of the Word of God has not a.
familiar look that too many Bibles are
relegated to the parlor table or the library
shelf, and left there, unused, until some
great bereavement makes the people take
them down. How shall we otherwise
account for the faith of some being so
limp, and the grip of others so slack upon
that word of promise and peace, of hope
and salvation Otherwise, why so much
religious indifference and spiritual luke
warmness? Else. whence the army of
backsliders that perplex church officials,
who find frequent occasion for the revis-
ion of church rolls? And how does it
come to pass that we hear the cry, Give
us the Gospel Of good cheer and good
works-the Gospel of Duty rather than
Of Doctrine ?" as if it were possible to
divorce Mt. Sinai and Mt Olivet-the
Law and the Gospel. At this time when
there is so much loose thinking and ire
sponsible preaching; when with the old
things that have passed away so many
would have the Bible and the Sabbath
go too, that all things might be new, there
is need for both the counsel and the eau
ton Beware lest any man spoil you
through philosophy and vain deceit, after
the tradition of men, after the rudiments
of the world, and not after Christ" The
place for every believer is beside the
Cross Of Jesus, holding on with the grip
of an unyielding, invincible faith, true to
the dear old Book-old yet ever new,
staying the old man but creating the new,
wrecking old hopes yet imparting hopes
new.-Chrtstioa InteJbgencer.

Nothing is so sweet, so desirable, as
companionship. How sad is lonely
heart, with no one in whom to confde.
none to sympathize in Joy or sorrow
Would that all such, the wide world
over, might hear the good word of the
Gospel, that Jesus IS a personal reozty 10
the believer. A friend? Yes. Can I
speak to him? Yes. Can I tell him all
l think, or wish, or need =? Yes. Will
he understand me? None SO well. MAY
l hear his voice in reply? o, yes for
he says he that loveth me shall be loved
of my Father, and l will love him, and
will n1anifect myself unto him." He is
not alone the great God, far off in the
heavens, good, loving, careful Of his crea-
lures, Spirit, of whom I can have no
apprehension all this he truly is, but he
is also vastly more. For it is said of him,
Wherefore it behooved him in all things
to be like unto his brethren, that he
might be meroiful and faithful High
Priest in things pertaining to God. -
Many true Christians fall short of the
exceeding comfort Of this truth. "Lo,
am with you always" Tested in all
points as we are, therefore able to succor
us who are tempted.
