A Substitute for PRAYER.

A minister tells The following:
somewhere in the country a number of
ministers were won't to meet together
on stated days for purposes pertaining
to their calling. As might be sup
posed, each meeting was opened with
prayer. But one day tl3y met" at the
house Ct a brother who had o stock OF
excellent cigars, which he passed
arGdhd freely. Soon all the brethren
we're putting away, and before they
knew it they had taken up the busi-
ness of the meeting. Suddenly n OF
them remembered the forgotten prayer
and suggested that somebody make up
for lost time. But one OF the others
was equal to the occasion. Never
mind now, Brother X--," he said;

The Ant Plague.

The ant question attracts general at
%tention. A lady says to the Boston
Journal: Having becomepuite interested
in reading in the Journal the various
ways suggested of getting rid of ants, ]
will tell you III experience. Many
years ago a small army of tiny red ants
took entire possession of our store closet
ono fine spring morning, and remained
until cool weather. They liked the To-
cation, and every year returned, we CIV
ing them full sweep. We were advised
to try tar, which we did, placing d
large chunk on a dishin q corner of the
shelf. The ants left and have never re-
turned to that closet or any other part
of the house. The same piece of tar has
stood in the same place for more than
fifteen years. The remedy is a very
simple one, and can do no harm if it
does no good.

the wisdom of King Edgar, who, &C
cording to Strut, made strenuous efforts
to suppress the drinking customs of his
subjects. He would only permit each
village to have one ale-housc, and
placed further restrictions on the inhabi-
tants by the singular method Of causing
pins or pegs TO be affixed at intervals in
the drinking cups, which were made of
wood or horn. Whoever drank beyond
these marks at one draught became
liable to penalty. But the author Of
siCuriosities of Ale and Beer says that
this ingenious device was of little real
use, and eventually led to increased
drinking, 50 much so that in 1102 An
selm issued the decree: 'Let no priests

Such drinking ito pegs was commonly
called pin drinking, or p~innicking, from
which latter, perhaps, may came the
modern word picnic"

rae Southern Cross Pears.

[EA ELa8
The extraordinary pearl known as the
ssSouthern Cross Pearp' Is a freak of
nature which has notyetsbeen explained.
The pearl was found at Roeburn, west
ern Australia. and consists Of nine
pearls adhering together in the form Of
8 Latin cross, seven in the shaft and two
ii the arms, one on each side Of the
shaft, nearly opposite the second pearl
from the top. The pearls are slightly
compressed, like peas in a pod, and no
trace Of any artificial junction can be
observed. II has been suggested that q
sfspgmens2of sea weed may have got into
the shell and formed the frame Of the
construction. The pearls are of fine
quality, though slightly misshapen at
parts, and tho value of the gem Is very
high. Its character Il unique, and filled
the oWner-.an Irishman named Kelly
with s,1perstitious awe, which led him
to secret it for some time.l[Engineer-

Fashion Notes

Mohair dresses, in subdued shades, are
made up simply.
Embroidered velvet bonnets are now
the rage in Paris.
Round hats will be more worn this
winter than ever before.
Iridescent beads will be still much
used in gimps and fringes.
Amber combs, broochesRnd necklaces
are worn with dressy evening toilets.
Repped silk, MORE, velvet and Ben
galine are used for accessories upon cloth
gowns.
Basques are still made short with
pointed or rounded fronts, short sides
and position backs.
Cashmere is much used for both street
and house dresses; MORE silk is COM
bined with it in many instances.
Heliotrope in its various shades is con-
spicuous in dress goods of all grades,
and it is still prominent in millinery.
Growing girls wear sashes of ribbon
or surah, laid in soft folds about the
waist and knotted gracefully on the left
side.
The diminutive mantelets now so
popular are deliberately trimmed with
beaded ornaments, jetted fringe and
lace.
Venetian gauzes, striped with adeeper
hue in satin, are made up with a surplice
waist and full drapery without contrast
ing goods.
Dainty little velvet jackets, to be
worn with skirts of various kinds, are
cut with short fronts, position backs
and elbow sleeves.
New silk gloves are embroidered on
the back with fine jet, steel or bronze
beads matching the gloves: the effect is
bright and dressy.
Cream-white silk galloons, and also
straw ~galloons, are exhibited and used by
modistes, as well as by milliners, to trim
canvas goods and lightweight textures.
Young ladies admire the dainty little
bonnets covered with the delicate pink
and white blossoms of tie trailing ar
butus, or composed Of finest flowers and
foliage.
Full puffs, extending from the shoulder
to the elbow, are brought out on some
of the new costumes, but they are more
generally used on ~tea-gowns, matinee
and dressy home toilets.
Draperies are full in front and full II
plaits from the belt to the foot of tn
skirt on one side and are drawn no higi
on the other; if not straight at thesssac
they are moderately bouffant.

Ohio, says: Several weeks ago the neighbor.
ing town Of Lafayette passed . prohibition
ordinance, and all Of the saloons were
closed. A few days ago saloon
keeper of this city went to Lafayette
and opened place. He was waited upon by q
committee who informed him that his business
was not required there. but he continued and
the town officials got out an injunction to stop
him. The judge decided In his favor and he
resumed business with more openness than
ever.
Early yesterday morning his saloon was
bombarded by a crowd of several hundred per-
sons. They came supplied with stones
and sledge hammers and, surrounding
the place, commenced to storm ii.
The doors and windows we're broken
and the crowd rushed in. The bar was bat
tered down, mirrors broken, the heads of bar.
rels knocked in and the contents wasted. The
place was almost torn down and everything
ruined.
