QUEER PRAYING.

Heavenly Father, let peace reign throughout our borders. Yet may we be quick to resent anything like an in- suit to this our nation.'' So prayed the Rev. Henry II Couden in the house of representatives at the opening of con- gress.
 It is not surprising to read that the preacher who thus prayed was one of the most prominent and persistent in the disgraceful lobbying for the chap laincy which went on before the open- ing of congress. He got the place. and he showed his fitness for it in the peti- tion quoted above. He had made him. self ''solid" enough with the members to get chosen chaplain and 1t looks as if he wanted by his prayer to make himself still more solid" with them and to impress the country. There is reason to think that his prayer was in accordance with public sentiment, but there is no doubt about the bad taste of it. He would have done much better to pray only for peace and leave the stirring up of the war spirit to the politicians and the newspapers. Even if his prayer for quick resent ment is apparently abundantly ans wered, and the indications are that it may be, the impropriety of it will not be 1essened.

FASHION AOEES.
Wraps for Wee Ones.


 The accompanying picture shows the latest style in wraps for tots, and 1t was sketched in expensive materials. That's fault that is common to all new fashions in dress, that same expen- siveness, but the fond mother, whose purse isn't long enough to buy all the new rigs that are offered for her little
 daughter can easily copy this garment and do it inexpensively. Of course Wee ToddlelSlns must be in the mode and the gretchen coat is all out of fash ion this year, though its tiny wearer had very little wear out oft last year, and it would be a shame to throw it away or to encourage vanity in the child by getting her a new one, just be- cause last years is a little old style. Something must be done to it! Why, the sleeves are so small and collapsed looking that Wee Toddlekins herself

That a final touch of elegance may be given to all lay suspicious of remodeling, over-lay the cape with heavy lace, set on so that the joining is not discernable The sleeves that are slimpsy and col lapsed will perhaps do if they are re- lined with good stiff percahne or, if that will not do, then bravely set in at the shoulder pointed piece that will set the puff of the sleeve further down and give to it just that much more full ness. Of course, this point will not show because of the cape, but it can be made of material like that used for the cape, and be covered with lace, so if it does show it will pretend 1t was meant to be so with 8 good grace.
 The garment will be modish enough now to make Wee Toddlekins feel that she can wear it without undue embar- rassment and distress, even if the lit- tie girl over the way has a really new coat. Let Toddlekins have a fiaring poke bonnet, all edged with fur about the brim, teach her that fine clothes don't make lady dear, and she will be as happy as can be. Maybe the lit- tie girl over the way will think it is a new coat, and then Toddlelsins will ex- perience very early in her career a joy of economy that is difficult of attain ment. FLORETTE.

 CONCERNING HOARDINGS.
 Among the many and varied ex- periences of Diadema there came to her, once upon a time, the necessity for the complete upsetting and setting up again of her household goods. No corner nor cranny of the house could be neglected; no remotest nook be left unexplored; no trunk left unopened, no bandbox but must be turned upside down and whacked for the thorough emptying of it's contents. And every thing of real, or of sentimental value, (which is perhaps as real as any), must be stored away in as close compass as possible, in spaces that were we'll filled before.
 So it came to pass that many for gotten things were brought to light, and many unknown things revealed, while the familiar things of every days usage seemed to multiply themselves with a celeritY that only fell short of the miraculous.
 How to dispose of all her goods and chattels was a serious problem, It oc- cupied all Diadenla's waking hours. with unfortunately, some hours that should have been devoted to needed re- pose. It is not so difficult a thing to make two blades of grass grow where one has grown before and if tha man who does it is a public benefactor, '' what shall be said of the woman who induces two bulky pieces of furniture to occupy one and the same spot, in defiance of the well-known law of physics? But with her solution of the puzzle the public have nothing to do nor are they interested in her trials with plausible but unreliable hirelings her dealings with junk and rubbish gen. tlemen, and her many and rainbow hued contusions, touching souvenirs ot her victories over material things. But what impressed her most, and this she 1 does not mind revealing, was the evi- dences of the prudence, the careful sav- ing, the thoughtful provision for possi- ble future needs that characterized so many New Englanders of generations passed away. There was a mass of things to be dealt with that, of trifing value at the most, had long been laid aside against some moment of need that had never yet arrived. 'HThe want ] of a. thing is more than the worth of it"-this was the adage that used tC stuff boxes and drawers. crowd closets.

s01MM CAPITALIZATION.

The question, can revenue collectors be obliged to produce their records in
 State courts, or to permit their deputies
 to give evidence in cases where special taxes are alleged to have been paid, es-
 pecially in communities where traffic
 in liquor is prohibited, has long been a
 debated one. It was raised recently be- fore Judge Williams of the United
 States district court of the district of Kansas, prohibition State. A sub poena issued for a deputy collector was quashed in the State court so far as it required the production of the office records, but the collector was ordered by the court to testify regarding the alleged application for special stamp made by the accused. On his refusal he was committed for contempt. A writ of habeas corpus was sued out, and rul- ing on this Judge Williams held that Congress has given to the Commission CT of Internal Revenue, without quail fication, the power to make and en- force upon his subordinate officers all reasonable regulations in the matter of internal revenue. To secure the en- forcement of the regulation of the com missioner forbidding the disclosure of the contents of the records in the offices of the various collectors of internal rev.

M. Mantois, 8 Paris astronomer, pro- poses what he terms as "a trip to the moon," as the crowning point of the exhibition of 1900. As he cannot carry passengers to the moon, he plans to bring the moon down to the people by the construction of an immense telescop4 that will annihilate the 2400 000 miles be- tween that planet and this, holding the moon off at a distance OF six miles for convenient observation. The tele- scope projected would be about 200 feet in length, with an objective glass A feet in diameter The colossal tube will be placed horizontally, and the image of the moon will be reflected by what is termed mirror plane, feet an diameter and 15 inches thick. The astronomers calculate that with an ap- paratus of these dimensions it would be possible to discern easily objects the size of the London Notre Dame ca thedraI towers, and to distinguish the evolutiOns,

Churches on wheels are feature of one department of the religious work of the American Baptist Publication so- ciety. Four evangelical railroad cars are in service, and a fifth Is soon to be added through the efforts of the good people of Detroit. The first car was placed in commission five years ago. Its success was so manifest, and the amount of good accomplished so great, that another was added the fol- lowing year, and one has been added every year since. The cars go to towns which have no churches, and when side tracked services are conducted by two missionaries. The cars have the right of way on all the railroads of the coun- try, and conductors everywhere have orders to attach them to any and all trains on the request of the missionaries dn charge. No charge is made, and some of the railroads even supply heat ing and lighting.

The report of the sanitary inspector of the city of Glasgow indicates that the killing of the horse for food has evidently become quite extended as a business in Scotland. That document, after stating that the so-called Horse Flesh act, requiring all knackers and sellers of horse meat to take out a license, has been strictly obeyed throughout Glasgow, and that no sellers have applied for a license, sets forth that two lenackeries are located in that city alone and that they do a good business. Their products are exported to Antwerp. Other large places in Scotland are supposed to have slaugh- ter houses devoted to the same anil mal.

The monument to Garibaldi in Milan is said to look better than was ex- pected. The bronze figure on horseback has 8 calm and resolute aspect. He is unsheathing his sword, and wears the traditional poncho and Hungarian cap. He is represented as he looked when in the prime of life, during the campaign of 1860. The horse is majes- tic animal. To right and left are two bronze groups; ''Revolution" leaning on a lion, and Liberty sheathing her sword after having conquered the tiger, symbolizing Tyranny" which lies at her feet. Al around the gray granite base of the monument are placed shields inscribed with the names of Garibaldi's principal victories. The inscription is simply 'eTo Giuseppe Milan, !"

miles above Memphis. having on board
