A Female Preacher.

Mrs. Drake, the wife of a Congrega-
tional minister in roquois, S. D., has
been ordained to preach the gospel by
the largest council of Congregational
ministers ever assembled in the state.
There was only one negative vote. Mrs.
H. M. Barker writes: Mrs. Drake has
for six years assisted her husband, who
has the oversight of five churches,
preaching with as much ability and ac-
ceptance as he, and it is credit to the
intelligence of the large number of Con-
gregational ministers, including the pres
idents of Redfield and Yankton colleges,
that they had the courage to sanction
the work that the Lord has so greatly
blessed. The world does move. ."-Bos-
ton Woman's Journal.

When Pluck Was Slang.

This word affords an instance of the
way in which slang words in the course
of time became adopted into current Eng
lish. We now meet with pluck and
plucky as the recognized equivalents of
courage" and courageous" An entry
in Sir Walter Scott's journal shows
that in 1897 the word had not yet lost its
low character. lie says vol Ii, p 30),
"Want of that article blackguardly
called pluck" Its origin is obvious.
From early times the heart has been
popularity regarded as the seat of cour-
age. Now, when butcher lays open a
carcass he divides the great vessels of the
heart, cuts through the windpipe and
then plucks out together the united
heart and lungs-lights he calls them
and he terms the united mass ''the
pluck. Notes and Queries.

New Fad for a Bride.

A ''fad" indulged in by the winters
bride is that of having one of the satin
slippers or shoes in which she walked to
the chancel rail silver plated. She pre-
serves it as cherished souvenir, and if
the slipper be small and shapely-the
average woman possesses too much tact
to have it SO perpetuated if it be not So
it forms an oddly pretty ornament for
the mantel ledge or cabinet. A silver
smith who has had several bridal slip
pers brought to him to be plated, says
that he has put number of wee baby
shoes through the same process, and has
even coated smoking pipes, oyster shells
ard lead pencils-sugges likely, of
some special bit of romance. The silver
plating is not very costly, and the senti-
ment bids fair to be soon INDUCED in
generally. Talk.

The habit of wearing firefies is in
dulged in by the ladies of the poorer
classes to large extent, and even the
society ladies often pick up the shining
brownies and fasten them in their hair
just as an American girl will gather

Anecdote of Michael Angelo.

Michael Angelo, at time when Italy
paid SO much attention to apcient art
that modern had no chance Of being
judged fairly, had, it is said, resort to .
stratagem to teach the critics the fallacy
of shaping their judgments by fashion
or reputation. He sculptured statue
representing sleeping beauty and break
ing off an arm buried it in place where
excavations were being made. 1t was
soon found and lauded by critics and
the public as valuable relic of antiqui-
ty, far superior to anything done for
centuries. When Angelo thought it
had gone far enough he produced the
broken arm, and, to the great mortifca-
ton of the critics, revealed himself as
the sculptor. New York Ledger.

About Light Gloves.

Glove dealers rejoice in the increas-
ing popularity of light gloves for all oc-
casions-expert shopping and travelling.
The dressed kid, in pearl color with wide
black stitching, is the choicest glove of
the season for nice wear. The Suede
mousquetaire, in light beige, ecru, pearl,
and lavender is the next choice. Light
gloves are clearly out of place for morn
ing wear, and the only use they can be
put when old age overtakes them is to
transform them by means of the dyers
art into darker gloves for common wear.
Delicate gray or light tan is an excellent
choice for light glove, as it harmon
ICES with all costumes. = New York

HOW SIR RICHARD DIED.

Stately as bridegroom to feast
Sir Richard trod the scaffold stair,
And, bowling to the crowd, united
The love locks from his sable hair;
Took off his watch. "Give that to Ned:
I've done with time" he proudly said
Twas bitter cold-it makes him shake
Said one, ''Ah! see the villains look!"
Sir Richard, with a scornful frown,
Cried, Frost, not fear, my body shookE'
Giving gold piece to the slave,
He laughed, Now praise me, master
knave!'
They pointed, with sneering smile,
Unto black box, long and grim;
But no white shroud nor badge of death
Had power to draw a tear from him.
''It needs no lock- he said in jest,
''This chamber where tonight rest"
Then crying out, God save the kingl'
In spite of hiss and shout and frown;
He stripped his doublet, dropped his cloak.
And gave the headsman's man a crown;
Then ION for heavenr' he proudly cried.
And bowed his hcad-and so he died.

Mrs. Vanderbilt's Crown.

Mrs. William X. Vanderbilt wore a
royal crown to the opera on Friday even
ing. Her appearance as right down
regular royal queen, instead merely of a
society queen, attracted immediate at
tention and started buzz of comment.
The crown was a real unmistakable
crown, not tiara by any means, and is,
according to her friends, made in exact
duplicate of the British crown.
Mrs. Ogden Mills and Mrs. DR.. Seward
Webb also have crowns, and they have
worn them at the opera, but they did
not elicit the unstinted and unqualified
admiration commanded by Mrs. Wander
bilt's queenly showing.
Mrs Vanderbilt has, indeed, two
crowns. The one made in imitation of
Queen Victoria's crown was got up after
some patriotic hesitation by London
jeweler. The other one is the crown of
a German princess, purchased from the
one time regal and legal owner by Mrs.
Vanderbilt herself. The purchaser has
every necessary guarantee Of it's genu-
ineness. She does not wear it regularly,
because the princess was somewhat OBJ
scure, and the crown does not fit her as
well as the British crown does. It is
very well in its way, though, and she
keeps it in reserve.
The crown that Mrs. Vanderbilt has
worn at the opera, and which she has
previously worn at some society affairs,
is a glorious arrangement in pearls and
diamonds, rising in very stately and
picturesque fashion from the head. 1t
would make half dozen tiaras, and it
is said to have cost $500, 900. The design
is very graceful.-New York World.

BURNING FIERCELY.
The Mount Tamalpais Fire Spreading in
Several Directions,

SAN RAFAEL, July $50 many conflict
ing reports reach here in regard to the
Mount Tamalpais fire that it Is almost a
matter of impossibilfty to arrive at any def
mite conclusion in regard to the condition Of
affairs on the MOUNTAIN. Last evening it
was reported that the fire was completely
under control and was fast losing its fierce
ness, but this morning immense clouds of
smoke arose from the Mill Valley section
and 1t was soon learned that great danger
was threatened in that vicinity. 1t appears
that the fire-fghters had neglected the red
wood forest at the Big Lagoon and the
strong wind blowing o-day rapidly famed
the smolderiDg embers into fame and now
the whole westerly side OF tie noun tain in
that section Is mass OF roaring, cracking
flames.
The different station agents on the mar
row-gauge system are busy gathering the
section men on their divisions, and from the
interest the railroad company displays
there is no doubt that the fire Is more seri-
GUS than ever in the Mill Valley section
Orders have been issued by the Superin-
tendent OF the narrow gauge railroad for
all section men on the divisions south Of
San Geronimo to Immediately report at
Mill Valley, in order to try and save prop
erty at that place. A strong wind is now
blowing and should it continue. no doubt
the fire will be more furious tonight than
before.
The Bolinas stage succeeded in reaching
its destination by the mountain road, but it
is doubtful whether it can return the same
way. TIE fire is burning tiereely on the
Potrero. and it is thought that teams will
have to go via Sausalito.
About o'clock this afternoon a report
was received here that the ranch of Mr..
Maillard, between San Geronimo and Camp
Taylor was afire. The report was very
meager, but it stated that the fire was
caused by fireworks and that the railroad
section hands from Point Reyes had arrived
there and it was thought the fire would
shortly be under control.
Much interest is manifested in regard to
this fire as the valleys in that section are a
favorite resort for campers and not less than
200 people are in camp where the fire is
supposed to be burning
