The international commission of Maine,
composed of representatives from the
Baptist Congregational, Free Baptist and
Methodist denominations, held its annual
meeting in Portland, Wednesday. The
commission was conceived for noble
purpose. which is to promote cooperation
in the organization and maintenance of
churches in this State to prevent waste
of resources and effort in smaller towns
and to stimulate missionary effort in the
destitute regions. What with such worthy
objects and with the efficient workers,
who are identified with it, there is every
reason to expect much from its efforts
and to lend it all available assistance.

THE WATERFALL REVIvED.

"The old style of crinoline that
jumped into feminine favor again a
year or two ago has been the means
of resurrecting another once popular
fashion from the grave of disuse in
England, at any rate" said NJ. r.
Hubbard of Atlanta at the Ebbitt
last night. II have just returned
from visit to the old country, and
while in London / was struck by the
number of women in the best society
who were wearing their hair in the
old waterfall style. They wore the
once familiar net to keep the hair
in place also, and from the class of
the fair ones who were arranging
their back tresses in this way,
have no doubt the renaissance Of the
waterfall, with all of it's possibilities
for hideous ugliness, will soon be
heralded on this side of the water. "

pretty ones are now made of gold or

are very dressy.
Accordion-plaited skirts and waists
are also much in vogue; they are
charming when made with light goods
such as China silk, crepe, chalies
and foulard. 1t takes eight yards
for the skirt, four yards for the waist
and also four yards for sleeves. The

M ountain Sickness.

M. Rcgnard IL French savant who
has been investigating the causes Of
mountain sickness. He took two
normal fowls in default OF willing
Alpists, and put them under q
vacuum pump with a diminutlon OF
pressure corresponding to an altitude
OF 10000 feet. One OF the fowls was
allowed TO take its ease, the other
had TO turn n sort OF squirrel cnge.
The one that was exerting itself
showed signs Of sickness, while the
other remained unaffected. When
the vacuum was increased to "a point
corresponding with barometric pres
sure at 1000 feet, both the fowls
gave out and resigned themselves TO
die. The idle one, however, was
shortly restored on being released,
whereas the other went through a
protracted and uncomfortable illness.
The inference Is that mountain sick
ness is as much due TO fatigue and
wear OF tissue as to rarity OF the at
and that il lifts or bal
looms could be applied to the Hima-
layas, for instance, mountaineering
would be deprived Of one Of its most
features. - Pail Mall

FASHION NOTES.

Black, formerly so popular, Is very
little worn, grays, browns and blues
having entirely superseded it.
Flannel and serge were at one time
considered good materials for travel
ing dresses, but now are quite out
of style, principally because they
collect the dust in a most depressing
manner.
A smart costume for a young girl
is of gray alpaca, the cape OF darker
gray, and hood lined with light tartan
silk. The skirt is plain, gathered
full at the back, the skirt waist Of
pink cheviot having a turned-over
collar with narrow black satin bow.
Cotton sateens are again coming
into favor. 1t is 10 be hoped that
some way will be devised Is weave
them so that they will not get stringy
as soon as they are worn. Most Of
these dresses after few hours use
look as untidy as a tumbled pocket

New collarettes are made Of a
circular piece Of lace or chiffon. a

narrow ribbon is run in, by which
the material is shirred up to fit the

Flossy taffeta silks have in a
measure superseded the cool foulards

summer gowns. But the latter are
too comfortable to be given up wholly

Date Palm Sugar.

In Bengal, sugar is made from both
the date palm and the sugar cane.
The cultivation Of the date tree and
the manufacture OF date sugar are
extensively carried on in certain
Provinces which possess the neces-
sary moist alluyial soil. One acre Of
land will hold 4J0 date palms. The
trees arrive at maturity in five TO
seven years, and continue to yield
the saccharine juice for twenty or
thirty years. Sugar cane is culti-
waited thr )ughout Madras, the total
area being not less than 1,1jO.OOO
acres. The cane is grown on high
lands above the level OF foundations,
but which can be irrigated. Iron
mills have come into use for extract
ing the juice in place OF wooden
ones.- American Agriculturist.

Checks for the Locust Pest.

How TO check the locust pest is a
serious question in South Africa.
One Of the latest methods proposed
is TO gather the puparia ola parasitic

and deposits her larve on the neck
OF the locust, where il penetrates the

VALUE OF AUTOMATIsM.

A certain automatism is an ex-
cellent faculty for busy woman TO
acquire. 1t saves an immense
amount Of wear and tear Of nerve
force by dispelling conscious mo-
notony of labor, leaving the mind
free to occupy itself with larger in
terests, and it is astonishing how
easily n machine-like performance OF
many daily routine duties can be
gained. Another undoubted gain of
time and ease to the housekeeper is
a habit of planning a reasonable
length of time before the necessity
for carrying out any work OF i'm
portance or difficulty; indeed,
perhaps no one thing contributes
more to the smooth running OF the
wheels of the domestic machinery.
Even house-cleaning may be divested
of many Of its terrors by the intro
duction Of method into its madness.
Much Of the perennial and never
adjusted servant difficulty is caused
by the failure of house mistresses TO
give clear and explicit directions. or
by their variable demands. Here.
again, the tendency of the mind to
desire and fall into mechanical ac-
tion is apparent; the servant is no
exception. and she who has a regular
routine from which she is seldom ex-
pected to vary, finds her situation"
easier and more desirable than the
one who has the prospect Of incessant
and unknown change OF duties.
though the actual work OF the former
may in the long run be the heavier.

The toilettes, as usual, are very ell
egant. There is one of sky-blue
mousseline de sole, trimmed with a
large square collar in the back, mar
rowing at the waist and forming a ia
bot in front. The sleeves are short,
with n rutfie of lace, and large rows
OF satin ribbon on the shoulders.
Around the waist is n ribbon, with a
bow in front.
Besides the lilac or violet-blue,
another shade very much in style is
cherry red. Many hats are trimmed
with loops Of ribbon OF this shade, or
with ribbon OF white and black
stripe. The latter is very useful as
it can be worn with any dress. This
beautiful tint, cherry red, should
only be worn with dresses to match.
Nothing is so unbecoming as n hat
unsuited to a dress, or vice versa.

Many well-ordered households find
it good plan to write out the
ordinary daily routine for each
servant employed and place these
programs where they can easily be
consulted.
Where only one servant is employed
and the mistress of the house or any
members of the family assume GER
tain duties, these duties should be
regularly and well performed, if only
for the force Of example, for how
can one consistently expect of an
inferior promptness and excellence
which one fails to exact of oneself?-

THE wAsHERwoMAN A QUEEN AGAIN.

THE wAsHERwoMAN A QUEEN AGAIN.
The greed Of the steam laundry
men and the tricks Of the Chinese
washee-washees have put the civil
ization around us back one step so
that the old time washerwoman is
once more in great demand. Whether
it is the acids that steam laundry
men use or, as some say, the ma
chinery with which they save time
and labor, the fact is that they wear
out fine linen faster than poor men
and women can replenish their ward
robes.
The rich, OF course. have their
their linen achieves that dull gloss
which is called homemade finish, "
anh IS much sought after by the
steam laundries because it is so
different from the high polish that
Cinnamon put on their work. But
both kinds of laundrymen manage
to peel the outer skin off cuffs and
collars and to bring about fearful
gaping wounds where the bosoms of
shirts ought to join the bovies.
Therefore the young men about town
are now hunting washerwomen, and
some old, familiar street scenes Of
twenty years ago are coming back,
such as the women with big baskets
in the residential districts and in the
street cars, to say nothing of the
miles Of fine linen huttering on the
pulley lines behind the tenement
houses. Chicago Times.

BIG BLAZE IN TOLEDO.
Began In the Grain Elevators and Swep
 Away the Chamber of Commerce.

TOLEDO, Jan. Fire caused loss of fully half million dollars. It broke out In the grain elevator of F. N. Quale & Go, on the river, fronting on Madison and Wa ter streets. The cause is as yet unknown. An explosion of dust caused general alarm. The elevator and it's contents were entirely destroyed.
 A strong northwest wind carried the flames across Madison street to the eleva- tor and business block of c. A. King & Co., which is also a total loss The flames also spread westward across Water street to the rear of large five story business block known as the Chamber of Commerce building, owned by Hon. T. P. Brown and occupied by the Western Union Telegraph company, the American District company and a large number of offices, which was also destroyed.
 From this the flames spread south to the next building, five stories high, occupied as a museum and theater and known as Wonderland" This was guttcd by the flames within a few minutes. The next building southward was the wholesale drughouse of West & Truax, which is also total loss. A strong firewall checked the flames in this direction.
 To the west they leaped across Summit street, the chief retail street of the city, in- CHo DlOCh, Uuj JuC uE0 was here checked without great damage. In the rear of this building is the office of the Postal Telegraph company, the manager of which removed all the apparatus possible, thus cutting off all telegraphic communi- cation for time, as the Western Union of flee and instruments were destroyed to- tally
 A two story block on the northeast corner of Water and Madison streets, diagonally across from the Quale elevator, was also destroyed. The total loss will reach nearly 1,000,0 900. Owing to the high wind, help was requested from the nearest cities, and it was responded to promptly by Cleve- land, Detroit and Adrian. The two latter departments reached the city before the fire was under control and rendered efficient service. There were fortunately no fatali ties, though Captain Frazier of Company No. Twas overcome by smoke and reported killed, but he is all right.

TWO SEA TRAGEDIES.
A Norwegian Captain Saw Them Through
 the Spindrift.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1.-The Norwegian bark Einar, Captain Olaussen, arrived here from Tonsberg after most eventful and thrilling passage. Owing to the terrific weather she experienced the fore part of the voyage, Captain Olaussen was com pelled to desert a sinking and dismasted brigantine and leave her crew of 10 men to perish. The same day lifeboat contain ing two half naked men, having for their signal of distress shirt attached to an oar, was sighted. Every effort was made to rescue these unfortunates, but sea swept over them, and they were never afterward seen. Captain Olaussen betray ed deep emotion as he told his story.
 Late in the afternoon on Nov. Il" he said, during the fiercest part of the storm, the lookout made something in the water dead to Ieeward. The vessels course was altered, and she headed in that direc- tion. Passing on the crest of tremendous sea, there appeared a boat containing two naked men. Spindrift was being tossed masthead high, but as they reached the top of the sea they were distinctly seen, and their cries for help were heartrending.
 ''We decided to heave to and called to the men to pull up to the vessel, but they had disappeared and were no doubt swallowed up in the sea that broke over the Einar a lew SeconuS later ana deluSed her lore ana aft"
 Captain Olaussen lay to until daybreak, when the wind again increased rapidly. Just at dawn they made dsmasted brig antine to leeward, with all hands clinging to stump of the foremast. Such terrific seas prevailed that it was impossible to ap- proach the vessel, so the Einar was again hove to as close to the vessel as possible, anticipating lull in the storm that would permit them to rescue the men.
 As night overlook them the brig was lost to sight, and 30 hours later Captain Claus sen found that he had made so much lee way that his vessel was within s few fath oms of the Lemon shoals. He jammed all possible sail on his vessel at great risk and managed to claw off just in time He sup posed that the unknown craft went on the shoals and was wrecked with all hands.
