''ench Jackets and Clnaks for the Mid
winter Season.
Worth and Pingat are making cloth
jackets of far more dresSy character
than those nude BY London talors.
They use n great deal of pas somen- :
terie for their trimming in open lace
like designs that is made doubly eff
fective by having lighter cloth than
that of the jacket placed under it, as,
for instance, dark green cloth has
black passPmenterie in leaf designs
laid over the palest Nile green cloth,
and the garment is then edged with
black Persian fur. These stylish
coats are short, single breasted and
very close fitting being smooth even
over the small tournure that is now
so we'll worn. The passementerie not
only borders the lower edge, but con-
tinues all around the garment up
above the waist line almost TO
the top of the darts, giving
Swiss bodice effect that is very
pretty on slight figures. The high
collar, the pointed epaulettes and
pointed cuffs are also of this trimming.
and there is pointed plastron of the
fur edged with the passementeric.
Such jackets fit so smoothly and are so
deliberately trimmed that buttons are
dispensed with, hooks and ewes being
used instead
Short cloaks of cloth are given q
nav effect by having wide fichu col
lars of plush that cover the shoulders
and are pointed in front These
cloaks have short back forms extend
ing only to the waist and instead Of
being trimmed from the top in {
point, there are three lines of braid
ing coming up from the tournure to
the shoulder-blades, again suggesting
q bodice, as in the jackets just noted;
q roll or puff of the plush then crosses
the end of the back Such wrap Of
dark blue cloth is trimmed with seal
brown plush collar thatlaps to the left
side of the waist, and is edged with
gold braid in n vine pattern, and three
bands of this braiding trim the back.
Short black cloaks have the front and
back of velvet richly trimmed with

A Good Story.

Even ministers are sometimes
merely human and are subject to the
same passions which make common
people do ridiculous things. A good
story is told of DR.. Newman Hall Of
London, which we do not remember
to have seen in print. 1t has had
quite an extensive private circulation,
having gone from mouth to mouth in
quiet way, and has excited merri-
ment whenever told. DIR. Hall is,
as is well known in religious
circles, the author of the tract
entitled "Come to Jesus" the circul-
alton of which by the tract society
has been simply enormous, the copies
printed running up beyond the
hundreds of thousands into the six
ciphers. Some very severe criticisms
had been passed upon him on ac-
count of his words or conduct, and he
became greatly excited over them and
replied, or rather wrote reply
replete with sarcasm and bitterness,
and carried it to DR.. Binney of
London (since dead), for suggestion
and approval. DR.. Hall read it,
bringing out the bitter things with
peculiar emphasis, and when he had
finished he said, DWELL, DR.. Binney,
how do you like it?" "Oh " was
the careful reply, 81 think it is re-
markedly we'll written, and there are
many sharp and bitter things in it.
BY the way, Hall, have you fixed
upon a title for it as yet" "No, l
have not" replied DIR. Hall. "Per-
haps you can assist me in that
matter" Then DIR. Binney said
slowly and deliberately: "While
you were reading some of those hard
hits it occurred to me that this would
be a good title, Go to the Devil by
the author of Come to Jesus " 1t
is needless TO say that the hot tenn
pered manuscript was never print
ed-indeed, the story goes that it was
torn mp in DR.. Binney's study.

Say Your Say in Good Plain Words.

Julian Hawthorne in American Magazine.
Many authors waste a great deal of
time in revising and rewriting what
they have already produced, They
file and polish and rearrange, and
grow to care much more that their
idea shall be neatly put, than that it
shall be an idea worth putting. Leav-
ing out the men of really large
genius-none Of whom happen to be
writing Just now-no contemporary
writer Ono novelist at any rate) is
producing anything which is worth
the trouble of highly finished form.
Form cannot compensate for inferior
substance; it only makes the inferi-
GRITTY more conspicuous. The only
form worth having is that which
comes spontaneously. A great soul
will beautify its own embodiment;but
why should we be at such pains to
trick out our sohliess little dolls in
solemn finery? They only make us
the more ridiculous. Let us say
what we have to say, in asgood plain
English as we can command, and be
done with it. After all, the greatest
geniuses do no more. Besides, while
we are at work furnishing up some
second or third-rate thought, a
thought that would really be worth
having may fan us with its wings
and escape out of the window. Go
forward, young man, and upward if
possible; but do not turn round and
try to render symmetrical the foot
steps you have already made.

two falls of Spanish Lace above it.
Long cloaks are made in II loosr
shape that follows the outline of the
figure in u graceful fashion. and is also
more comfortable than the closely
fitted garments. There are but four
forms in these cloaks, two in front
and two behind, making a sacque-like
garment, and the sleeves are cut with
long points. New cloths that have q
border woven in one selvage are used
for such cloaks, the border extendin z
in two rows down the fronts and back
Some of these cloths have stiff nap
like thai of fur, yet are soft and plia-
BILE. and the border is IN contrasting
colors. ometimes In cashmere de-
signs. Peasant cloaks made of dark
'broadcloth braided with gold are
plated to the collar, where those of
lighter fabrics are gathered. There are
two breadths of wide cloth forming
this full wrap, the top plated down
from the neck to the shoulders. and
the fronts open over a fitted under
front the whole length of the cloak,
and attached to it at bottom; the arms
come out over the fitted front. and the

A Word to Husbands.

Love and appreciation are to q

her whole life. They make her
strong-hear,cd and keen-sighted in
every thing affecting the welfare of
her home. They make her to cherish

press heavily upon him, and to be a
very providence to her children. To
know that her husband loves her and
is proud of her and believes in her;
that even her faults are looked upon
with tenderness; that her face, to one
at least, is the fairest in all the world;
that the heart which 10 her is the
greatest and noblest, holds her
sacred in its innermost recesses above
all other women, gives her a strength
and courage and energy, and sweet
ness, and vivacity which all the
wealth of the world could not be :

vaded with such IN influence, and her
heart and mind will never grow old.

job nny's Composition on Geese.

This is Johnny's composition, as
made public by the San Francisco
Examiner:
Gooses are the biggest birds knone
to the human eye, and that he one is
a gander. The gander is the monark
of the air, but the rooster can lick
him, COS the rooster he is brave like
General Solomon, but the gander
issent tightly, more like preachers.
The COOS is a sailer, but not a wicked
one like Jack Brily, witch chews to-
bako and swearS and everything, and
it has got feathers between its toes for
to wolk the VOTER, like a thing of
life. Ducks they are sailers, too, but
the swon has got a long neck is like
graft, and wen it has got sore
throte it is mighty sick. The little
gooses is goslums and is green. My
sister see a goslum and she asst Uncle
Ned wot made it green, and he said
Uncle Ned did, that it was COS it was
not ripe. Then Billy he spoke up
and said wen it was ripe it would be
picked.

Welsh question, and further off,
Canadian and Indian questions,
and nearer home the Irish agitation
is emboldening many of the English
rank and file to consider political
questions more earnestly and ask
whether or not they need more rights.
We do not see where the agitation for
home rule for Ireland can stop short
of a complete overthrow of the pres
ent creaking, over-worked, seriously
strained parliamentary machine. III
timately there must come home rule
for each province and colony (includ-
ing England itself and general I'M

see this, and no wonder they shudder

ABOUT PHosPHArEs.
What Nine New York Farmers Think Oi
Commercial FertiliZers.

pU Hf ~'fff
What Nine New York Farmers Think of
Commercial Fertilizers.
This subject is Of much Importance
to farmers in the older States; it is
discussed in every agricultural COM
munity and the feeling about it is of
doubt and uneasiness. To get at the
general opinion in this locality nine
farmers of Tompkins County, N. Y,
who have used commercial fertilizers
were called upon. Itmay be promised
that these fertilizers are called simply
phosphate" hereabout, and no dis
tinction is made as TO kind or quality,
there being as many as half dozen
brands in market the price ranging
from 1926 to$3S ton. Below are tho
replies received. Farmer No. /:
/ can usually see difference
for the better in my crops
and u marked benefit to the
after-seeding. | never would use it
at all if for one crop only. 1t is worth
less on wet soil. do not use it on
spring crops. The weather is apt to
be dry about seeding time, and if so
phosphate seems TO burn the grain up.
If it is used on the same land year
after year without keeping up the
fertility with manure it would make
the soil phosphate poor. If had
plenty of manure never would use it
at all. No. 2: ! have used it con-
sid 'rably and have never seen any
benefit from it yet. once phosphated

Is This Life Worth Living.

Ding, dong! ding, dong! Not
quite O'Clock in the morning, and
there goes neighbor P.'s breakfast
bell. And it rings about that time
most mornings during the busy sea-
son, which on the farm begins in
March and does not end until winter.
This, of course, means that farmer
Prs work for the day and that of his
wife has begun at about A o'clock, for
a breakfast of a family of eight, four
of them children between the ages Of
and 8, can not be got in minute.
And by the time the last chore is
done at the barn and the men come
in to supper, it is between Z and 8
o'clock ; and when the dishes are
washed, the last baby put to bed and
quiet sets over the household, farmer
p. has put in fifteen solid hours of
work and his wife over sixteen.
Now greatly respect my neigh
Dor and his family. They are honest,
God-fearing and industrious, and re-
spect the rights of their neighbors.
They married young, began without
capital, and III ten years, as renters,
saved money enough to make pay
ment of perhaps $1,000 ON a farm of
over $50 acres, and stock it. Now
the ambition of their lives is to pay
for and improve it. ] can scarcely
conceive a more laudable ambition
than this, and yet when | hear that
breakfast bell at o'clock in the
morning, and remember that one
pair of hands does the washing, iron
ing, mending and cooking, and has
cue of the children, and all the other
work which must be done in a fami-
ly, ask myself, does it pay? Is the
owning Of 100 acres of land, instead
of 80 or 100, worth the additional years
oftoil which will be required to pay
for the acres?
Men in our cities by the thousand
have struck for eight hours work a
day, and here my neighbors and 10,-
900 other families voluntarily work
ing fifteen hours or more. One OF
the worst features of such u life is
that after following it for years one
loses the capacity for enjoying any
thing the shape of recreation, and
the farmer and his wife 60 on toiling
after the debts are paid and the neces.
sity of doing so is past.
