"where is old Dawson this morningf" asked the railway president, noticing the absence of the veteran bookkeeper
 Home; sick" said the vice president. "Pour old fellowl don't believe he'll ever get ovef this attack"
 That's too bad" sighed the president. "He has been @ very valuable man to us, Dawson has. He's been with us 20 years, and don't believe he's missed day"
 That's so," said the vice president. "He has literally worn himself out in our serv- ice. If he dies, think the road ought to do something for his widow"

Plain Language the Best.

If the pulpit is to give no uncertain sound, so also must 1t speak ill lan- guage understood of the people. "Wsll, my friend" said a clergyman sent for to the sick bed of parishioner, land what induced you to send for me?" The man was very deaf and inquired of his wife the purport of the inquiry. What do he sayY' "He says" bawled the woman, "why the deuce did you send for him?'- Temple Bar.

Half a Dozen Good Things.

To tho top of Pike's Peak by rail via the Great Rock Island and Pike's Peak Cog Road is wonderful. Try it.
 The Dining Car Service on the Great Rock Island Route between Chicago and Den- yer is the best in the world. Choice of two routes, via Omaha or Kansas City.
 A new fast train has been put on the Great Rock Island Route; leaves Chicago daily at p. m.. and at a. m. it arrives at Omaha, and at 10:50 a.. m. at Lincoln, Nebraska. its destination. It's a hummer and very popular.
 The Rig "B, is a favorite train for tour ists and business men. This is a Great Rock Island Route train; leaves Chicago daily at 10p. m- You travel but one day out, and ssc- ond morning at breakfast hour you are landed at Denver.
 Through to Fort worthii Yes, the "Grest Rock Island" has pushed it's south western extension across the famous Cherokee strip; through Oklahoma Territory; one hun dred miles farther south over the Chickasaw Nation lands; crossed the Red river and now lands passengers at Ft. Worth, Texas.

Evil sometimes defeats itself by going one step too far. You may drive the hoop of barrel down 80 hard that it breaks. I will not believe that theinter- national prize fight will take place on Long Island or in the state of New York until I see the rowdy rabble rolling drunk off the cars at Flatbush avenue and with faces banged and cut and bleed ing from the imbruting scene. Against this infraction of the laws of the state of New York I lift solemn protest The curse of Almighty God will rest upon any community that consents to such an outrage. Does any one think it cannot be stopped, and that the constabu1ary would be overborne2 Then let Governor Flower send down there 8 regiment of state militia, and they will clean out the nuisance ill one hour.
 Warned by the doom of other cities that have perished for their rufianism, or their cruelty, or their idolatry, or their dissoluteness, let all our American cities lead the right way. Our only dependence Is on God and Christian infuencesl Poh- tics will do nothing but make things worse. Send politics to moralize and save city, and you send smallpox to heal leprosy or a carcass to relieve the air of malodor. For what politics will do refer you to the eight weeks of stul- tiication enacted at Washington by our American senate.
 American politics will become 8 re- formatory power on the same day that pandemonium becomes church. But there are, am glad to say, benign and salutary and gracious influences organ lzed in all our cities which will yet take them for God and righteousness. Let us ply the gospel machinery to dts ut

have been transferred to the Museo Bor- bonico at Naples, to be admired by tho centuries.
 Those Pompeiian artists mixed such durability of colors that, though their paintings were buried in ashes and sco- rie for l, TOO years, and since they were uncovered many of them have remained there exposed to the rains and winds and winters and summers of 130 years, the color is as fresh and vivid and true as though yesterday it had passed from the easel. Which of our modern paint ings could stand all that? And yet many of the specimens of Pompeiian art show that the city was sunk to such depth of abomination that there was nothing deeper. Sculptured and petrifed and em- balmed abomination. There was state ] of public morals worse than belongs to any city now standing under the sun. Yet how many think that all that is necessary is to cultivate the mind and advance the knowledge and improve the arts. Have you The impression that elo- quence will do the elevating work? Why, Pompei had Cicero half of every year for it's citizen. Have you the idea that literature is all that is necessary to keep city right? Why, Sallust, with a pen that was the boast of Roman litera- ture, had mansion in that doomed city. Do you think that sculpture and art are quite sufficient for the production of good morals? Then correct your delu- sion by examining the statues in the Temple of Mercury at Pompeii, or the winged figures of it's Parthenon, and the colonnades and arches of this house of Diomed.
 By all means have schools and Dussel- dorf and Dore exhibitions and galleries
 where the genius of all the centuries can
 bank itself up in snowy sculpture, and
 all bric-a-brac, and all pure art, but
 nothing save the religion of Jesus Christ
 can make a city moral. In proportion as churches and Bibles and Christian nrintinR presses and reviyals Q3 retiG4ep

The Hat Trade.

The great hat factory of Aver, Hous-
ton & Co., in this city that employs
$50 hands was over-burdened with bust
ness last summer, while other manu-
featuring plants were shutting down all
over the country. Up to last Septem Der
they were as busy as ever and then they
began to feel the business depression
and have felt it worse and worse eve
since. The reason of this is that the
are always filling orders half a year
ahead. All summer they were busy
with orders received last spring, but
now the orders for next spring%Sgoods
don't come in so rapidly as usual.
Since last October they have been max
ing hats for next springs trade, and as
the bulk of their patronage is in the
West the financial depression is just
making itself felt in the lack Of orders
for next year. The great Western
jobbing houses that ordered so many
goods half year ahead last spring,
don't feel like doing it this fall

bastiste, embroidered in tinsel and
white braid. The sateen covering for
the opposite side is cut sufficiently large
SO that it can be turned in to form a
two-inch frill gathered all around the
upper edges.
The lacing up of washing pillows at
the sides can be managed in a variety
OF ways. Sometimes loops and small
buttons are used instead of eyeleJ holes.
Hammock cushions of striped awning
look well when laced with yellow cord.
The picturesque effect is increased by
attaching to each eyelet hole short
wooden tassel.
IL the colors are bright and decided a
variety OF hues can be used; thus scarlet,
black, blue and canary yellow will look
welt together.
Hints to Housekeepers.
Bread crumbs cleanse silk gowns.
Gloves can be cleansed at home by
rubbing with gasoline.
Tooth powder is an excellent cleanser
of fine filigree jewelry.
The fumes of birthstone match will
remove berry stains from the fingers.
To roast small birds, fasten the head
under the wings Lay thin slice of
pork on the breast Of each bird and
piece of bread underneath. Roast in
a hot oven.
Scratches on furniture may be re-
moved by rubbing with a wooden rag
dipped in boiled linseed oil. The var
nishing may be done with shellac dissol-
we'd in alcohol.
