WE are so accustomed to poverty
that even in the most advanced coun-
tries we regard it as the natural lot OF
the great masses of the people; that we
take it as matter of course that even
in our highest civilization large classes
should want the neccssaries of health
full life, and the vast majority should
only get poor and pinched living by
the hardest toll. There are professors
of political economy who teach that
this condition of things is the result OF
social laws of which it is idle to COM
plain! There are ministers of religion
who preach that this is the condition
which an all-wise, all-powerful Creator
intended for His children! If an archi-
tect were to build a theater SO that not
one-tenth of the audience could see and
hear, we would call him a bungler and
a botch. If man were to give a
fest and provide SO little food that
nine-tenths of his guests must go away
hungry, we would call him fool, or
worse. Yet so accustomed are we to
poverty, that even the preachers OF
what passes for Christianity tell us that
the great Architect Of the Universe, to
whose infinite skill all nature tcstifies,
has made such botch job Of this world
that the vast majority of the human
creatures whom he has called into II
are condemned by the conditions he has
imposed to want, suffering and brutal
izing toll that gives no opportunity for
the development Of mental powers
must pass their lives in hard struggle
to merely live!

We have selected two or
croun. three lines from letters
freshly received from pa
rents who have given German Syrup
to their children in the emergencies
of Group. You will credit these,
because they come from good, sub

what so many families lack-a med
icine containing no evil drug, which
mother can administer with con-
fidence to the little ones in their
most critical hours, safe and sure
that it will carry them through.

Stylish Garments to BE Worn ON the
Drive.
The luxurious wraps worn when
driving by the sea-shore are the most
attractive garments in the fashionable
woman's wardrobe. They all partake
of the prevailing round cape shape, but
vary in length, and are now preferred
without much height on the shoulders.
No fabric is too rich for these graceful
garments, but they are mostly OF crepon-
cloth or velvet, elaborate with embroid-
cry of jet, crystal and gold. They are
lined with satins and brocades of bril-
liant color, and trimmed with collar
and border of passementerie, lace and
feathers. For the morning are tan,
mauve or gray mantles of crepon en-
broidered with very small jet beads,
lined with changeable silk, and trimmed
with collar or boa of cog plumes. A
mauve cloth cape is gathered to point
of velvet cut in one with high collar
heavily beaded with jet and gold; this IS
cut to give breadth without height on
the shoulders A Rembrandt red vel
vet mantle worn ut reception late in
the day is of the short full shape. The
large collar is faced with rose satin, and
the front is of Chantilly lace. Broad
galloon of jet with rubies is the trim
ming. An evening wrap is of light beige
cloth, with waving design applique al
over it of satin edged with gilt beads a
full ruche of cog plumes forms the collar
and border. For elderly ladies arr
black grenadine mantles with Applique
designs done in colored velvet, and
ruche OF lace for trimming. Lonf
cloaks are also seen occasionally O.

or drab crepon with the deep cap'

A STORY OF THE DAY.

How ST. kentIgern Helped a Queen
Out of an Alarming Predicament.
Miraculous powers were attributed
to st. Kentigern-whose day the 18th
OF January is-as to most OF the holy
men OF remote ages. A story showing
how he recovered lost ring and say
ed queen from the wrath OF her
husband is given in an old volume.
She had formed an attachment for a
handsome soldier and gave hlm fine
ring which the king himself had pre-
sented to her. This in some way
came to the ears OF his majesty, and,
concealing his anger, he proceeded to
hunt up the soldier. He found him
sleeping on the banks fthe Clyde-the
scene OF this story is in Scotland
and, taking the ring from his finger,
threw it into the river. On returning
home he demanded OF the queen that
she should return the ringh he had gwen
her. She sent i'll secret to the soldier
for it, but OF course he could not re-
store it. Then in great alarm she sent
to the holy kentigern for assistance
The saint, having previous knowiedge
OF the whole affair, went to the Clyue,
caught a salmon, opened it and in its
stomach found the missing ring, which
he returned to the queen. She turned
it over to. the king, who, believing she
had been wrongfully accused, sad he
would put her accusers to death. Pre-
tending to be OF a forGiving spirit, she
asked him to pardon them. Then she
went to Kentigern, confessed her 1auiu
and promised to do better IN the
future. The seal of the city OF Gias-
