English newspapers in the days when
advertisements were heavily taxed pub
lished the titles of books reviewed in
their columns, but never the prices, be-
cause the excise office held that an an
nexed price was an advertisement and
as such taxable. The custom continued
for long time after the tax on adver-
tisements had been removed.
The London newspapers also made q
distinction between a simple notice of a
death, for which they charged shil-
hngs, and a brief obituary, for which
they demanded seven and sixpence
One day DR.. Thomas Hume, grave,
satirical London doctor, called at the
office of morning journal and silently
placed upon the counter the announce

with shillings. The clerk glanced at

grufly, "Seven and sixp'

The VALLEY or THE GODS.
Wonderful Grandeur OF a Californian R
val Of the Yosemite.


Wonderful Grandeur OF q Californian RI-
val Of the Yosemite.
What has been termed "limited but
beautiful rival to the Yosemite valley"
Is canyon lying in San Benito county,
Cal. Sheep herders and rowing In
dians have long known Of Its wild
grandeur, but to Professor Gilbert of the
Stanford university lovers Of nature are
indebted for first account Of it. The
prediction is made that the crags Of Cab
ilan will in future be included among
the scenic features Of California. Pro
fessor Gilbert says:
'If the Gabilan valley had Yosemite's
water effects, 1t would be fully as beauti
full as the world famous California Won
der" The nearest house is IA miles dis
tant, and Tres Pinos, the only settlement
in the region, Is IA miles away. Flank
ing the valley tower the peaks Of the
Gabilan range. Some admirers have
made bold to call it ''The Valley Of the
Gods" Its attractions are sky reaching
crags, ponderous rocks hanging suspend
ed in gulches and caves Of vast extent
that are yet to be explored.
The main canyon has an area Of five
square miles. One of its cliffs, which rises
1850 feet, is the asylum Of great mum
bers OF eagles, which at times cover the
face Of the crags with the shadow of their
wings. Entering the canyon from the
northwest runs q natural wagon road
under a series of arches formed Of bowl
ders caught between the econverging walla
Of the canyon. The smallest of the
rocks is ESQ feet In circumference, while
the largest measures some 1,4O0 feet. In
a side canyon, near the southern end Of
the valley, there is suspended, 200 feet
above the brawling Of a stream. a mass
OF rock which is estimated TO be az big
as block Of six story buildings.
OF the caves there are three that win
repay thorough exploration. extending
far into the bowels of the earth and con-
tanning pools In which swim species Of
trout. Stalactites depend from the cell
ings, which In places are 150 feet high.
One more feature should be mentioned
--ssThe Thumbs" two splintered crags
which rise 800 feet from the bed Of the
valley, but fall short 600 feet Of the alti-
tude Of palisade. on whose front lies d
natural pathway. The Gabilan valley
is distant from San Francisco 1876 miles

Freedom to Do Right.

The G. z. society is voluntary or
ganization, and it secures liberty to all
of its members Rather it should be
said that all the members retain the
freedom that they enjoyed before they
became Endeavorers. But Christian lib
erty, whether in c. E. society or out
of it, is simply the freedom of doing
right No Christian is free to do wrong.
In a sense we are at liberty to use our
money or our influence to sustain ON
undenominational enterprise or the
work Of another denomination. But
this is not a Christian nor a consistent
use of our liberty. In becoming meln-
Der Of any denomination we pledge our
selves to its support. Practically we
bind ourselves to work for Christ
through that instrumentality. II our
profession has any significance, this is
what it means. If it does not mean this,
it was an idle ceremony, profane
trifing with sacred things. But we are
bound to this by our G. E. pledge. No
one can doubt that Christ would have
him sustain his own branch Of the
church If he thinks it unworthy of his
support, he has no right to be a member
Of it. II 1t is worthy Of his support,
there can be no doubt of his obligation
to render it.-National Presbyterian.

Some time we shall stand on a strange dim
shore,
With futtering pulses and trembling
feet,
And wait and listen as through the dusk
The muffled rhythm Of swift oars beat,
For over the sea so lonely and wide,
Whose waves on the shores Of life beat
chill,
A ferryman crosses back and forth
And carries whome'er he will.
And If he sail in the morning hours,
At noon or twilight or midnight dim
His shallop is always laden full,
For all must voyage with him.
The aged ones and the strong and fair,
The children pure as the angels be-
All. all must answer the boatman's call
And sail on the unknown sea.
And SO some time he win hail us where
Our path leads close to the fateful shore.
We shall straightway turn from our dear
est ones
And journey with them no more.
But outward borne by the strong. swift
oars,
And lulled BY the waves 'gainst the yes
sells side.
We shall sink 10 sleep and drift away

beading or gold cords around the edges,
but generally they are Of the dress ma
terial only.
The skirts are nearly all made quite
haring around the bottom, stiffened with
some material made for the purpose and
faced with bias velutina, generally
bound with the same. Underwear is
made upon the same lines as the skirt,
some dresses requiring bell effect and
others a more slender one. These ef-
fects are gained by the presence or alb
sence of ruffies. Some ruffies have
three or four tucked frills, and when
these are ironed out they give a skirt
the proper flare to form a bell effect for
the outer skirt
These bell effects are sought for most
particularly with the corduroy velu-
tinas, as they are heavy enough to hang
straight without some such treatment.
must mention that these goods will be
made up largely for street gowns in
gray, drab, mouse color and black. A
pretty way to finish these around the
bottom is to have narrow self ruff1es on
the bias, or have turrets slashed in and
then tailor bound with fine silk braid to
match, the points being sewed with
arrowheads in saddlers' silk to match
Along the bottom of the skirt beneath
the turret points there are several very
narrow faille ruffies to match the color,
but in darker shades. Today noticed
in one of our largest houses black
cheviot gown. 1t had bell skirt, with
four rows of half inch satin ribbon
sewed fat around it at distances Of four
inches, the first beginning 10 inches
from the bottom. The waist buttoned
with three large buttons at the left, and
there was one large revers, with two
rows of satin ribbon set on plain. The
whole dress was a model Of elegance.
Another oheviot dress was trimmed with
two bias bands, headed by narrow line
Of gimp. Still another was stitched with
heavy silk and strictly tailor finished,
and think liked that the best Of all.
The new bonnets are called variously
the Marie Louise, the Welsh and the
Burgundy. There is little to choose be-
tween them for downright ugliness but
the hats give one plenty of chance for
pretty ornamentation, for one sees whole
fiocks Of tiny birds or their narrowed
wings sticking sharply up There will
be flowers, too, all the season through
and immense quantities Of ostrich
plumes of different colors, but mostly
black. Lace of almost every description
will be worn on hats as we'll as upon
dresses. noticed one hat today where
there was a piece of vandyke lace
around the crown, the points lying out
to the edge of the brim, like starfish
points. There was bow made Of the
same lace, with few tiny frosted black
wings and the bow was held in by a
very fine buckle of black enamel and
gold, with rhinestone setting. The most
of these jeweled ornaments for the hats

ToPIc-The duty and rewards Of churchgO-
ing.-Heb. <, 25 Meeting led BY the pastor.
Two extreme views are often held
upon the subject of churchgoing. Some
people overestimate it. They make their
religion to consist simply in the attend
ance upon the public services on the
Sabbath day. The other view is the OPP
posite of that. It undertakes the impor-
tance and value Of the social worship Of
God. Many take the position that II
the heart is right with God the attend
ance upon the public services in Gods
houses is small matter. Both views
are extreme. Both are wrong. Mere
churchgoing is not religion. No per-
sonal perfection Of heart and mind can
compensate for the neglect Of public
duties. Let us notice:
l. The duty of churchgoing (Heb. K,
25l ''Not forsaking the assembling OF
yourselves together I" There may be in
these words no direct command, and
yet it is practically command. Church
going is duty, then: ~ Because God
demands it of us. God always demand
ed Of his people Of old that they pay
strict attention to the public services in
the temple. When Christ was upon
earth, he allowed neither pleasure nor
business to interfere with His attend
ance upon the great feast Of the pass
over during the years Of His public min
istry. Paul exhorts us not to forsake
this important duty. It is a duty, then,
because demanded Of God II is a duty
(2) because man needs social worship
We are so constituted that we not only
need worship, but social worship. We
are social beings, and our nature de-
mands the social worship. It is aduty
for us to do what our natures demand
g. The rewards Of churchgoing.
These are perhaps many and varied
different in different cases. Some Of the
general rewards are as follows: /. a
clear conscience Churchgoing is a
duty. The performance Of any duty
makes us at peace with God concerning
this particular thing. and this. then, is
our blessing or reward Of churchgoing.
2. Spiritual blessings derived by the
presence of Christ Christ has promised
to be in the assemblies Of His people.
Is 1t not great blessing TO have Him
with us? 5. Spiritual blessings derived
from the service. Those who habitually
absent themselves from Gods house
never realize what they miss by it. The
weak are helped. the timid are encour-
aged, the fallen are untitled, the saints
are comforted and built up, and all are
spiritually blessed, all are brought
nearer to God by worshiping Him In His
holy temple.

are very handsome and quite costly.
Gold and silver f1ligree work is often
seen as Luckles and other ornaments
There are many very fine ornaments for
the hair also made Of Italian filigree,
and long handles to fans are Of those
metals.
The combs to wear in the hair in the
quaint and odd manners Of the coiffures
of today are as nearly like those our
grandmothers wore in their youth as
they can be. The newest fashion of
dressing the hair is to part it in the CEN
ter, and wave and slightly puff the sides,
and then twist the whole up in little
knob ON the top of the head and pin it
firmly, and then stick comb i'll in such
a way that it stands straight up or per-
haps tilts forward little. Tiny curls
are often pinned along the front The
oldest old fashioned jeweIry is now be-
ing brought out and worn with delight.

Al Chinese sunerstition.

Chinese junks and boats have eyes
carved or painted on the bows, which
are usually supposed to be mere fan
ciful form of ornamentation. But they
have real meaning, as a recent traveller
found. In going up one Of the rivers
from Ningpo he was startled one day by
seeing a boatman seize his broad hat
and clap 1t over one of the 'eyes" OF
the boat, while other boats on the stream
were similarly blinded. Looking about
for an explanation, he saw dead body
floating past, AMI he was told by the
boatmen that if the boat had been al
