majority. There can be no division of labor
by which one scholar can preach or teach
or write books and leave to some other
scholar the task of caring for the common
wealth. There Is no security that the ig-
norance and vice of a continent will ask
some one distinguished for ignorance and
vice to represent them at the local and ma
tional elections. If ignorance and fraud
move in bulk, must all the cotemporary
education and morality move in their total
fty. When an educated man avows himself
to be neutral in politics he confesses that
his education is very defective in the de-
partment of principles. He may be able to
compose sonnet or to speak his native
tongue with propriety, but it would be an
insult to Milton and John Stuart Mill and
all the greatest men OF all times to call him
a student or wise man., mans vision
would be thought defective IL he could not
see the sky or the ocean: defective Is the
American scholarship that cannot see that
oceanic object loved and died for as the ma
ton.
Scholars the highest and most sincere
Will differ as to the best path to the best
end, but out of the long and earnest ex-
change Of opinion greater truth will come
than can be hoped for from an age of ig-
norance and inaction. The differences of
scholars are matter of regret and are
a delay of progress, but in vice and ignor-
ance there is no hope whatever. An age
Of intellectual activity is always evolving
great principles. When our nation began,
slavery was not seen in its true light. The
scholars dlnered as to the moral quality or
the bondage of black to white, but out
of educated reflection came at last a gen.
eral acceptance of the equality of all HUI
man rights. The truth may come slowly
from scholarship, but that is the only source
from which it has been known to come.
Scholars Must Stand Near the People.
Each nation with fits many millions Of
people presents all the vicissitudes pos
sible to human life. All scholars must
stand near to the people that they may
utter the eloquence and write the essays
and poems of the peoples sorrows and joys.
All the old Hebrew writers were students
and scholars for the commonwealth. The
best education of that period went to the
rulers of the republic and afterward to the
throne The classic states also were pre-
sided over by their scholars.
All the American SC lolars from the poets
like Whittier to the College presidents like
Woolsey and Hopkins should keep so near
to the daily needs Of the republic that the
Congress at Washington should see them
taking seats in the II 1use or the Senate
to help make wisdom and integrity assume
a high place in the laws and deeds of the
country. If there be any meaning in learn
ing or wisdom our nation should be seen
sending to its central legislature and Su-
preme bench and presidential chair only its
best men in all the senses of that signifi-
cant phrase, but by scholar we must not
mean some graduate of some college, but
the man who by some means has reached
a wealth of information, a symmetry Of
intellect, habit of reflection and a purity
of heart. DAVID SWING.

BUTTONS EVERYWHERE.

Her button gown was a great sue
cess. She was conscious of this after
wearing it for the first time. Such
an amount of attention she had never
before received. 1t was an imported
frock and it carried just sixteen dozen
buttons. They were very small but
tons of glisteaing gilt and they shone
upon her dress like cords of gold.
The skirt of this French costume
was made of fine white broadcloth,
with an unusual amount of fulness at
the back. On the right side of the
skirt narrow panel of helitrope vel
vet appeared to be caught to the
broadcloth by row Of gilt buttons,
which stretched from waist line to
hem. The bottom of the skirt was fin
ished by band of tn velvet gleam-

At the marriage of the Hon. Rosa
Hood, the six bridesmaids wore pure
white broche dresses, trimmed with
moire, and in their pretty white chip
hats were roses, to correspond with
the lovely bouquets of white roses
which they carried.
At the Dickson-Knocken wedding
there were five bridesmaids, attired
alike in white muslin dresses, made
up over white satin. Their pictur-
esque hats of black tulle were trimmed
with roses, and they carried bouquets
of roses and white parasols, gifts from
the bridegroom.
At the marriage of Lady Esther
Cove to W. F. D. Smith, NJ. P, says
London Truth, the bridesmaids,
twelve in number, included seven
small children, some of whom were
tiny scraps whose behavior amused
one immensely. They grew SO tired
of standing still, those babies. And
you should have seen how they ad-
mired their wedding garments. They
stroked their ribbons, petted their
frocks and closely examined the white
roses they carried, as though scien-
tiAcally tracing the cause of their per-
fume. Not old enough to have e1-
perienced the solace there lies in
standing on one leg, they varied the
monotony of standing on both by lift
ing their feet and gazing with great
interest at their pretty shoes. "We
mustn't talk" whispered one to the
other, as though inviting her to a
breach of the command. A dear little
fat finger went up to a pair Of rosy
lips in reply. I never saw such a
sweet little company of restless, fut.
tering, white-clad baby bridesmaids
before. One of them was the two
year-old stepsister of the bride. Her
mother looked very well in gold and
white brocade. The brides dress was
most particularly pretty and becom-
ing. One would think that all posi-
BILE variations on the hackneyed theme
of white satin and orange blossoms
had long since been exhausted, but
evidently there are brains still full of
fresh ideas on even the stalest sub.
iects. The lovely ivory-tinted satin of
which Lady Esther Smiths dress con-
sisted was trimmed with exquisite, al
most priceless, point d'Alencon old
family lace, and was hemmed with
sprays of orange blossoms The
bodice was filled with chiffon and
trimmed with lace, and the sleeves
an important feature in the architec-
ture of dress-were arranged in al
ternate puns of satin and frills of
lace. The bride wore comb of
orange blossoms under her tulle veil.
Her bouquet was perfectly glorious
one, and shed fragrance for yards
around it,. She looked very nervous,
and her color kept coming and going,
but it was q sweet face that looked
through the wedding veil.

A WINTER DREAM.

When the bare brown beeches writhe and
wall,
Wrenched BY the north winds grasp;
When the willow trees wax stiff and pale
In the chill Of his crystal clasp;
And the long night hastes with its desolate
dark
Oer the wind-worn grasses gray and stark
And each cold star cuts the wintry sky Il
Like the point Of a poInard drawn on high
LIST to the blacklogs smouldering crack (
And memory softly strays
On the dead years track,
And my thoughts fit back s
To dream Of the summer days.
Oh, I know a brook meath the green bay
Where the lilies rise and sink "a
Where the COWS come down through the
cypress knees ..t
With their clanking bells to drink.
Iwould could scent the lily buds now
That float on the stream meath the rich bay
bough;
Iwould could hear the cowbells clang,
straying up the lane where the blackberies
hang;
lean close my eyes and almost view
Each mellow bell that swaysl
And the luscious hue
OF the blackberries, too,
As dream Of the summer days.
Ilong to lie on my back in the grass,
Bliss-crowned In every sense;
I long for breath OF the sassafras
That fringes the zigzag fence,
Or to see the swift-winged hawk soar by,
With half-tormed wish In my heart to fly !;
Or to sit In the shade where the pine boughs
swing
And list to the song that the redbtrds sing
OF, h,these are the thoughts that come and come
In fancy's tangled maze,
With the log cocks drum
And the wild bees hum,
As dream Of the summer days. T.

A HOSPITAL. WITHOUT LIQUOR.

The London Temperance Hospital recent
ly celebrated Its twentieth anniversary. At
first many looked upon the idea 0! hospital
withou: alcohol rs Il varitablr craze % Il few
fanatics, but now the medical journals admit
the success and also the Importance of the
experiment. And this experiment ought to
be much better known to medical men than
it is, for it gives q serious blow to still
fashionable doctrine regarding tho necessity
Of alcohol in tho treatment OF disease. This
hospital has eighty-six beds, and last year
year 1896 patients werc accommodated. In
the out-patient department 5104 new cases
were dealt with, while the new accident and
emergency cases amounted to 1869. The
surgeon, DR.. Collins, who came from ST.
Bartholomew's, and who has been in tho
hospital now for five years, declares that,
though not IN abstainer himself, the 1000
cases, 1000 of them operations, that havo
passed through his hands have suffered moth
ing from the Observation-Disclosures of alcohol.

trimming. Cream lace is used as well
on serge and sacking dresses as on
satin. Velvet overlaid with ecru in
sertion is common on crepon dresses,
green being the color used in one ef-
fective model. Suits made with tabs
and buttons have the mock button
holes outlined with soutache. White
embroidery and black satin ribbons
are the trimmings used on dark blue
crepon. Silken muslin crepe isse,
mouseline de sole, figured lace, span
gled tulle and Liberty satin are some
of the gauzy fabrics found as trim
mings on the latest imported designs.
Black silk muslin and jet are by far
the most desirable accessories for
black and white silks.

notes, and then motioned the fugitive to
enter.
sMany thanks, Colonel" said Baker,

into trouble if you champion my cause.
Sam Gaddler is very bitter against me,
and swears that he will kill mel"
sNever mind that" returned Col.
WhiDsaw. with another graceful wave
OF the hand. "Will Gaddler pursue
you?"
II cannot doubt it."
"That's a good reason, then, for ac-
cepting the shelter Of my house. Walk
in"
The Colonel's factotum had now made
his appearance, bright-eyed, herculean
young man of one and twenty, and the
Colonel proceeded to give him a few
rapid orders in tone too guarded to
reach even the newcomers hearing.
"And put this horse in the stall next
to mine" Ned, added the Colonel sLeave
them both saddled and bridled"
Ned nodded obediently, and fastened
away with the horse, while the Colonel
led the way into the dwelling.
II have just received telegram from
guest to chair. "and recall him we'll
as young man who passed a couple Of
days with me several years ago. AS you
will see by this message, he Is now at no
great distance on his way to us"
Baker glanced at the telegram, sigh
Of relief escaping him.
II am glad he has taken this stand,S
he declared. ~ haye been wishing all
the morning I could get a line to him.
The truth is, this man Gaddler is one OF
the worst miscreants have ever en-
countered. He has been robbing MIR.
Wynans for months and years, and is now
taking out of the two mines about six
thousand dollars every day. He has dis
covered that have been in the neigh
borhood ever since last Wednesday, and
has reached very clear conception OF
the purport of my visit In a word, he
is aware that I am in possession of all
his nefariouS secrets, and he swears that
shall never return to Perry Wynans to
tell what know"
II see your clothes are badly torn, Mr..
Baker," said the Colonel. @Are you Sc
riously hurt?"
"No, sir. thanks to the speed Of my
horse" replied Baher. "As my assail-
ants were q dozen to one, would have
stood no chance at all If had not been
we'll mounted. Ah!"
He raised his hand warningly, listen
Ing with an air Of keen interest
SThere they are" he remarked as Q
confused clatter Of hoofs resounded
from a distance. @The villain has mus.
tered his forces anew and is coming here
to kill me-"
"You just sit where you are for the
present. Mr.. Baker," enjoined the
Colonel, quietly, slipping revolver into
mis- right hip pocket @I'll take look
at these people, and see what is their
business In this quarter"
Seizing an OK which stood behind his
writing-desk, the Colonel sauntered out
in the direction of the bridge we have
mentioned, with the air of a man who is
proceeding to his timber.

DAINTY STRAW HATS,

Some of the new straw hats have
crowns of one color and brims Of an
other, like purple and green or red
and blue. Some have rough effects
made by straws of different color
woven in, but with so much trimming
as is placed on them and the facings
of shirred tulle or italian Grape one
sees very little of the hat itself. One
hat where the rough straw was made
of green and white strands, had mass
of trimming consisting of green MORE
ribbon of the exact silvery green of
the under side of poplar leaves. There
was besides a grape vine, with its
creamy white tufts of blossoms, its
tendrils and finally two punches of
green grapes of different sizes. This
was placed artistically on the top Of
the hat, and just under the bent part
of the brim was small cluster of ripe
grapes and the faded leaves. The
whole hat was really poetic.

DESIRABLE 10 nEuu1RE ABSTINENCE.

It is interesting and encouraging to note
that. upon economic grounds, the employ
ers OF labor, in increasing numbers, are
finding It desirable to require abstinence
from intoxicants on the part OF those whom
they employ. at least while on duty. A civil
engineer, who Is much interested in the
temperance reform, calls our attention to
the following extract from specifications for
an Improved Sewer System in Providence,
R. I. :"(67) The contractor shall not fur
nish, nor allow others to furnish, spurious
liquors to the workmen in his employ, or to
any person or persons on or about the line OF
the work. This provision is understood as
prohibiting entirely the use OF ardent spirits
as above" We hail every such practical
protest against the use OF intoxicants as
foreshadowing the better time coming when
Injurious social drinking uslges will bo
abolished altogether The Temperance Ad-
