Wraps for cool summer days as we'll

of styles in diagonal olive, brown and

are some examples in the Renaissance
cut, the Chatelaine, with the standing
ruff and the slashed sleeve; but dis
tinct line should be drawn between the
gala toilette of the eighteenth cent
ury and the costume of to-day for
daily wear. Many Of the wraps are
covered with rich passementeries Of
iridscent beads of brown, olive and
green shades, the wide fringe and
Yak lace corresponding in color. One
of this style is lined with pale green
satin of changeable hues. A brown
grenadine closely interviewer with
olive, brown and other rather somber
beads, is accompanied by wide passe-
menterie bands on the neck and down the
front A superb black satin Ottoman
wraps covered with a network of beads
in floral arabesqae of dull jets; wide
fringe is combined with the trimming

TEA CONSUMPTION.
The Immense Quantity OF the Leaf Usea
by Australians and New Zeatsnders.

The Immense Quantity OF the Leaf Ussa
by Australians and New zeaisnders.
The popular idea that the people Of
Great Britain consume more tea on an
average per head Of the population
than any other country in the world is
now shown to be erroneous. The
Australian colonies and New Zealand
according to one of the East Indian
journals) drink far more tea per head
of population than the British Islands.
The Australians come first, with 7.66
pounds per head; the New Zealanders
next, with 1928 pounds per head; while
the people of Great Britain. though ap-
pearing third on the list, consume
only 400 pounds each. Newfoundland
and Canada come next, while in the
United States the consumption is only
1.3O pounds per head, and in Russia,
which is always regarded IS a great
tea-drinking country, the consumption
is only 81 pound per head. Belgium,
Sweden, Austria Hungary and Spain
consume less than the other European
nations. but there is not one nation on
the continent, with the exception of
Holland, IN which the annual consump-
ton exceeds one pound per head. :. But
in certain parts of the countries named
tea-drinking is much more common
than in others. In certain Russian
districts especially. tea is drunk con-
stantly and copiously. and it is this
fact which has given rise to the notion
that Russia is the most bibulovs OF all
tea-drinking countries.-N. r. Post.

so with the sleeves. There are innum-
cradle other fashions for these useful
little wraps for seaside, mountain or
travelling, in all manner of shapes.
Soft and fine wooden fabrics are very
popular, and this season are especially
agreeable to the touch, being wholly
Invested of the unpleasant roughness
that sometimes pervades all woods Of

walls, and there are the pretty camel
lets and canvas goods in delicate olive,
pale pea colors, every shade Of green,
golden brown, nuns gray, saffron,
beige and other shades. These cos
tunes are simply made, trimmed with
large metal buttons covered with
Japanese, Roman or Assyrian designs
in relief, or other work. Metal clasps
are also used, or three silver gilt or
silver clasps. This fashion of decora-
ton affords an opportunity for the dis
play of heirlooms in the way of
brooches, clasps, slides or buckles.
Pretty plated plastrons of red surah
silk are called "robin redbreasts,"
and dainty white ones of silk or satin
and added to a soft gray dress are
called "sea swallows" and the young
lady who becomes transformed into a
graceful sea swallow is far more at
tractive than if she had the lovely bird

cynical people as very appropriate

THE POOR MANS FRIEND.


Tho Bible the Noblest vindicatOr Of Il.
bor-Its High Ideals of Life.
No literature of antiquity is possessed
with so deep love of the poor, speaks
so strong and generous words concern.
them, surrounds them with so much
dignity and so many rights as this Old
Testament know what say, and !
say what no man who knows antiquity
can contradict. Without the Bible L.
Dor would be without its noblest vindi.
Gator, without the one ancient witness
that testified in behalf of its honor and
its claims. There is no book that 20
denounces the King who dsres to op.
press the poor, or the priest who dares
to deceive the poor. that so praises the
man who does justice and loves mercy.
To help the poor is to please God, TO
wrong them is to provoke His wrath.
The ideal King is one who "Shall gov.
ern thy people with righteousness, and
thy poor with judgment" HE shall
save the children of the needy, and
shall break in pieces the op.
pressor." He shall deliver. tie
poor, and him. that hath no
helper" He shall redeem their soul
from deceit and violence, and precious
shall their blood be in his sight" Con-
nected herewith is its love OF the weak
and defenccless, the way it seeks to
honor and guard the woman and child.
Do you know how Roman law dealt
with the fatherp 1t invested him with
in his family with absolute power, over
against him the wife and child could
not be said to possess any rights; aud
the Roman law is the finest blossom Of
the Roman spirit. But in the Old
Testament the great preachers who
speak in the name Of God will allow mo-
such absolute power to man; not right,
but duty is in proportion to strength; the
greater the weakness, the greater the
claim on the resourceful and the strong.
Children are an heritage of The Lord"
to be dealt with as riches held in trust
for Him. The man He most approves
is the one who Judges the fatherless
and pleads for the widow" Then
there is no book 80 full of the love Of
honesty, the praise of justice between
man and man. 1t hates the false bal
ance, the lying tongue, the overreach-
ing spirit. 1t commends alike the gen.
erous master and the faithful servant
In word, its ideal of life-in-
dustrial, domestic, civil, commercial
is the highest, purest. sublimest, known
to the ancient world, for it is an ideal
that struggles towards the creation Of
Righteousness in all persons and in Ill
relations. Principal Fairboirn.

man ever as rich as he wants to bep
The great mass of people who desire
more wealth do so because they are
now and then, if not continually, con-
scious of being pinched. Between their
wants and their incomes they are in q
strait. and only by the exercise Of
economy and ingenious management
are they able to make both ends meet
to say nothing of laying up money fSr
rainy day. But the secret of happi-
ness in such cases is not to be found
BY increasing the income. Wants grow
ss fast as the means of gratifying
them, often faster One who is con-
stantly in debt on an income of $1,000
will be as badly off on $4,000. His
scale of expenses will more than keep
pace with the increase of his means.
The root of the difficulty is IN the fact
that many persons will always live be-
yond their means. and will always fret
because the means are not larger.
The secret of true riches is given by
the Apostle: Goodness with content
ment is great gain" or as the original
Greek word signifies, money-get1tng.
This is the only kind of riches that en-
dures the tests of life. 1t does not mat
ter how much we have, if we are con-
sumed by longing for more we are not
rich. No matter how little we have,
if we are content Herewith we are
rich. If man can not increase his
income perhaps he can decrease his
desires, which will come to the same
thing.
Contentment is grace that may be
cultivated largely by repeated efforts
of the will. just as discomfort may be
nourished until it swallows up every
innocent enjoyment, and makes life .
dreary treadmill of irksome duties.
Contentment does not imply that %.
pine giving up to ones surroundings,
that abject surrender to the Difficult.
ties of life, which prevents all i'm
provement of ones lot. The laziness
and improvidence Of the savage, the
shiftlessness of many poor people, y
not godly contentment, nor is true con-
tentment incompatible with an aspira-
ton after something higher, some bet.
terment Of worldly fortune. 1t Is
equally removed from fatalistic sur
render to opposing forces and to fran.
tic efforts to overcome them. 1t Il
the golden mean between indifference
to and eagerness for advancement. Il
is the philosophers stone for which
men so long searched in vain. for it,

WHITE HOUSE WEDDINGS.



nized In the Executive Mansion.
John Tyler had the wedding recep.
ton of his second marriage in the
White House, and President Hayes
and his wife celebrated their silver
wedding there. The first marriage in
the White House took place in 1911,
when Miss Todd, a relative of Presi.
dent Madison's wife, married John j.
jackson, Virginia Congressman. The
next was that of Monroe's daughter,
Martha, to Mr.. Gouverneur, of New
York, about nine years later, and in
1926 the son of President Adams mar
ried his cousin, Miss johnson, there.
During the Administration of Jackson

queOt, who afterwards represented the
French Government in this country, was
married in the White House to the
daughter of Andrew Jackson's close
friend. Major Lewis, Of Nashville, and
Jackson's niece was married during
this Administration to Mr.. Polk. Of
Tennessee. During Tyler's Admins
tration his daughter was married to
Virginlan named Waller, and during
Grants term his daughter Nellie was
united with Sartoris, an English gen.
tleman. Another marriage during the
days of Grants Presidency was that of
General Russell Hastings and Miss
Emily Platt The marriage of Nellie
Grant was very grand affair. 1t
took place in the east room, and was
talked vt for the time all over the
world. The groom. Algernon Sartoris,
was a nephew of Fanny Kemble, and
was highly educated Nellie Grant
was nineteen years old while he was
twenty-three. They met on steam
boat, and were married eighteen
months after this meeting. Immedi-
ately after the marriage the young
couple sailed for England. where they
have spent most of the time since then,
and where Mrs. Sartoris is now
Carp. in Clepsland Leader.
