A City of Groves and Bowers.

Frances Hodgson Burnett, in June st StNicholas.
1t seems almost impossible to believe that
one Ia in town. The plan of the city gives
80 many vistas of green. A person stand
lug in one the circles see In the center q
statue with fowerbeds brilliant at its base.
From east to west this circle Is crossed by
one of the streets whose names are the let
ters of the alphabet; from north to south
by of those whose names are numbers;
disgonally 1t is CROSSED by avenues bearing
the names of states; and as each of these is
bordered by one or two rows of trees-from
east to west, from north to south and
diagnslly-the eyes follow the course of
groves of linden, maple, tulip, sycamore or
poplar.
Within short distances of each other are
the bower-hke squares which contain such
blossoming as one seems to see nowhere
else. It is not merely q matter of planted
flowers or blooming shrubs. There are
trees loaded with blossoms. They are not
fruit-trses, but trees which bear burdens
of flowers which seem, some of them, like
specially sumptuous ull-petaled apple or
plum or peach blossom, OF Q splendid kind
of English may.
The bowers are full of children by this
time. Their nurses sit looking at them;
their little carriages are drawn up at the
sides of the walks. In some of the car
risges, under swinging lacecoversd para
| soils, tiny soft mites, not much older thar
the flowers, lie sleeping among downJ
white wraps and lace. They are part Of

Free lunch for Women.


The fcee lunch routes of the metropolis
are varied In style and amplitude They
have an army of patrons who drink to eat
and eat to drink. But these patrons are
males. Up to very recently 1t has not been
thought worth while to induce women to
and fattering them that they are getting
something for nothing. Why this has been
60 I'm sure don't know. The latter idea
certainly goes much further with women
than with men. Very recently however,
some attempts have been made TO please
the female palate. The best shops have
restaurants for ladies, as every body knows.
But the free lunch feature is q new one.
Where it has been introduced 1t works
well. In the house furnishing department
of big store on Sixth avenue q lady can set
q splendid cup of coffee, q custard, cake OF
brick of ice cream with every purchase, If
she desires. And shs can even take some
without buying and not get fred out.
There are coffee pots to sell and cans of
coffee to be had, but she doesn't need to
buy 1t If she doesn't want to do 30. You
can go over to another counter and buy a
10 cent cake pan or something of that kind
and a sweet young barkeep-I beg pardon,
saleslsdy-will give you cake or two hot
from the oven. She makes and bakes
right on the spot. 1t is worth more to see
her do 1t than to see the champion cocktail
mixer of Park row. Then otter having
seen her mix things and eaten your cake
and given elaborate directions about deliv-
ering your ten-oent pie pan at your address
on One Hundred and Thirty second street,
Harlem, If you hava presence of mind left
you can go to another counter and buy
something else-and eat again-and 30 on.
When you come home you may have indi-
gestion, but you will be sober-and the pie
pans and the fancy dishes and little house-
hold articles you haven't swallowed will be
coming in all next day.

The Old Boston Merchants.


At the monthly meeting of the Bostoni-
an society this afternoon, at the Old State
House, Joseph B. Moore read an interest
ing paper on Romantic Days of New
England Commerce." He said that the
Boston merchants of the better class a
hundred years ago were men who dealt
with other parts of the world, generally
In their own vessels. Merchants at that
period received their business education in
the counting st Boston, Salem and
Newport. After short novitiate in the
counting room they were sent out as su
percargoes, and If they developed ability
they were afterwards often given a part
interest In the profits of these voyages.
The opportunities for making money at
that time were ample; for the profits of
one voyage ranged from ten to twelve hun
dred per cent. The vessels In which these
voyages were made were generally brigs,
rugged with square sails, from one hundred
and fifty to two hundred tons measure
ment, and as 1t was not until about the be-
ginning of the present century that 1t be-
came customary to sheathe the hulls of
ships with copper, the hulls of vessels be-
1Or6 IQaG OapS were SO CONeIeQ On long NOY-
ages with bsrnscles aud marine grasses
that one-third more time was required
than after copper came into use. A small,
uncsrpeted cabin was at the same time the
captains room and the supercargo's Office.
In this cabin a number of chests or kegs
of Spanish dollars were placed for the
homeward cargo. Sometimes the young
supercsrgo, by the death of his superior,
had sole charge of large business. John
P. Cushing was only sixteen when. by his
superior's death, the whcle business of
Perkins & Co. in China devolved upon
him. The head of the house, the great T
81. Perkins himself, was about to start for
China to look after this young lad, when
the first cargo came into port in better or
der than any which had preceded il, and
the great mans trip to China was post
poned.
The original British vigor seems to hsve
survived in the frames of these people,
and the modern nervousness that now af-
ficts Americans had not been developed.
They lived in spacious, square houses with
large gardens behind them, and when they
met on "Chauge" it was largely to gossip.
We know that the clerks had a way OF kill
ing time by fishing from the whsrves. In
those days the great sea trading voyages
were to the East Indiee, China, the Medi
terrsnean, and on whaling, privs;eering
and African enterprises, the latter after
slaves.

PREsBYTERIAN OHRISTIANITY.
Considering the fact that an Islamic
propaganda has begun operations in this
country, 1t is perhaps we'll enough to have
clear definition of what Christianity is, to
| set against the statements of the earnest
and aggressive Mohsmmedan missionaries.
The General Assembly of the Northern
Presbyterians has, by It's action in the
Briggs case, given us a clear definition of
what Presbyterian Christianity is, or,
rather. what it is not. DR.. Briggs has
been declared hereto because he believes
that the Bible, the Churoh and the reason
are all channels for Gods saving grace, and
that men may be saved through either of
them; that Moses is not the author of the
Pentateuch, and that Isaiah is not tho au-
thor of the latter half of the book which
bears his name; that there are errors in
the Bible which do not affect its character
as the infallible rule of faith and practice;
that If literal ful6lment is insisted on,
predicsive prophecy has been reversed by
history, and much of it has not been and
never can be fulfilled; and that there is a
progressive sanotiication after death.
There is no doubt that the decision
reached is logical. DR.. Briggs is not and
for long time has not been Prssby-
terian Christian according to strict con-
struction of Presbyterian Christianity.
By his holy, or unholy boldness in speak
ing what he believed to be the truth he
made 1t necessary for the rulers of the
Presbyterian Church to define him and the
Church. They have done 60. He is g
hereto, and the Church is officially de-
clared to be what it was before DR.. Briggs
appeared to trouble 1t and make 1t neces-
ssry for it to assert itself. Accord
ing to this declaration Presbyterian
Christians have no right to think
or hope that people can be saved
except in the good old Presbyterian way.
They have no right to listen to or take part
in what is called "the higher criticism" of
the Bible; and they have no right to hope or
expect that Presbyter Christians will
make any progress in sanctifcation after
death.
The vote against DR.. Briggs was big
one, and showed that the voters realized
the necessity of doing their best to stamp
out the heresy of which he has been the
conspicuous exponent. The performance
looks unnecessary and even ridiculous to
those who are not good Presbyterians,
but 1t isn't. Presbyterian Christianity
must be maintained as long as 1t can
be, and the only way to maintain 1t
is to make 1t clear by such action as this.
Then people will know what 1t is, and If
they want to go to Heaven by che Presby
terian road they can follow the directions
on the Presbyterian guideboards. Those
who do SO and find that heaven is really a
Pfesby terian heaven will rejoice evermere.
If there should be any mistake in the defin-
itions and the directions we don't know
what they will do. Perhaps they may, in
spite of their blunder, be allowed humble
place in the Methodist heaven, the Congre-
gational heaven, the Roman Catholic
heaven or the Aohammedan heaven. But
if every ythiDg is all right they can have q
very exclusive and select heaven of their
own

therefore more becoming and the question
of quantity of lace will be easily set
tied. The hat will pass for lace hat with
the use of very little lace. The more sim
ply you trim lace hat the more becoming
it is and the more successfully you secure
the lightnees of effect that is the charm OF
this sort of headgesr. Black is likely to
get rusty In q little time, but black and
yellow, if simply carried out, is as modish
this season as it always should be. The
great point this year is simplicity of meth
cd and emphasis of effect. Two or three
full and rich ostrich tips of clear soft
yellow that are not high, and that turn
over softly and narrow to the stem with
out growing thin or scant, are the kind
that will look Just right, and to get them
to look that way xou will probably have to
buy them new. Stand these firmly up
right in group, as shown In the picture
something quite different from mass or
a bunch-towards the front and about the
middle of the hat. Two or three yellow
roses, soft petslsd, natural stemmed, and
with bit of foliage naturally arranged,
may lie in front of the feathers, as If just
loosely laid there. Then the hat Is COM
plete. 1t will depend upon its simplicity
and absolute freshness for its beauty and
seeming newness. We all want our hats
to be becoming and 1t In no use pretending
a hat can be becoming that does not seem
| at the same time to be of the latest style.

A CRUMB OF COMFORT.


1t is perhaps not entirely fair to charge
all the misfortunes this country is now
suffering from to the Democratic party;
bat it is entirely fair to say that the change
in the government, with the uncertainty
about the financial policy and the tariff
policy. has made good deal of the trouble.
Everybody is engaged in trying to get into
shape to stand whatever strain they may
be subjected to. They do not know what
Is going to happen, go they prepare for the
worst. The result of this preparation
shows itself in curtsilment of business,
failures, and loss of employment Some
think we are going to have "hard times" :"
and it must be confessed that the outlook
Is not very encouraging.
But every cloud has silver lining, and
Mark Tapleys are to be found when
needed. For instance, the Worcester Spy
actually rejoices over the present unpleas-
ant situation, and sees in 1t blessing in
disguise. 1t has convinced itself that the
triumph of tho national Democracy last
fall was but the beginning of its downfall
and of it's ultimate destruction. For nearly
thirty years the Democratic party has
been a censor of its great opponent, and
1t has at last succeeded in obtaining
supreme power in the land. In do
| ing this, 1t had to adopt ideas held
by elements of the population, in which
the majority of the people have no faitt
whatever, and it is now placed in the un
comfortable position of being compelled tt
fulfil its promises, at the risk of bringing
on national financial distress, or olse o.

pies at Chicago was lie, uttered for of

A Perennial Hat.

The lace hat will, let us hope, never lose
popularity. Hardly anything is more
generally becoming or more suitable to
many uses. To be paradoxicsl, the lace
hat that is not all lace is the prettier and
the lighter. Use the lace for the edge OF
the brim and in the garnishing of the
trimming. Let most of the hat be of
tulle. You will find the effect lighter and

An interesting example of electricity
as applied to farm work is now in oper-
alton at Scotch farm. The whole of
the usual farm machinery, such as
threshing, sowing, corn threshing and
the like, are here driven by an electric
motor The electricity is generated by
water power, the turbine wheel which
drives the dynamo being about 1000
yards from the farm. The electric cur
rent is conveyed by underground wires
to the house and farm, in each of which
a storage battery is placed. These sup
ply the electric current for lighting
and motive purposes when the 1nachin-
cry is not working. The whole Of the
mansion is Illuminated by electric light,
