Sermon on Boomers.

Boomers are being severely crit
cised, though despite opposition they
continue to be worn. How long, how
eyer, will they flourish in Pittsburg
remains to be seen; as in that smoky
city a minister of the gospel has open
lily denounced from the pulpit the
wearing Of them and has founded his
objection to the masculine toggery on
the scriptural injunction in Deuter-
onomy, xxi, 5, which says; "There
shall not be the garment of man
upon a woman, and man shall not
wear the garment Of woman, for an
abomination to Jehovah, thy God, is
every one doing these things" In
the dennnciation this warrior said:
Nothing is clearer in the sacred
Scriptures than the teaching that man
and woman were created distinc with
natures radically different, and yet so
that they can be united into one, and
that the man is adapted to the uses Of
business, professional and intellectual
pursuits. and that woman is adaptt d
to domestic uses, in which the affec
tons are the ruling principles. In
fact, man is born to be intellectual
and woman is born to become form
of affection, and when she departs
from her proper nature she violates
the fundamental laws of the Lord,
embodied in the creation of the human
race. In our text. in representative
language, we find u law defining the
sphere of man and of woman.
"The natural sense of the verse for
odds man from wearing woman's
garment, and q woman is forbidden
from wearing mans garments, and
every one doing these things is an
abominatiOn to Jehovah.
"If we look at these acts merely
from a natural point of view, we can
see no reason, either spiritual or nat
ural, why particular forms OF garments
should be confined exclusively to men
and other forms be confined to women
hence many conclude that it is merely
a matter OF taste, and to b. governed
by the freaks of fashion, and if women
desire to wear men's garments and
men to wear women's garments
it is all right to do 80.
1.-THE question OF the form of gar
ments which men and women should
wear would scarcely be treated OF il
the sacred Scriptures If it did not in
volve deeper things than the mere nat
ural raiment. In the doctrine of tn
new church deeper meaning is III
folded, and this apparently trivial lay
is thus seen to be replete with dee
wisdom, involving the fundaments

homeless men and women under its protection every night. During the last ten months the food depots of the Sal vation Army have distributed two and one-haIf million meals The Farm colony has during the year been sue cessful not only in giving employment to large number out of work, but in securing a substantial profit in it's agricultural operations. The report shows that the movement has practical ly sustained itself. While the reports of the actual work of the Salvation Army are encouraging. the fact in re- gard to London are nearly the same as they have been. The city contains 100000 paupers, 300OO abandoned wo- men, S30O0 homeless adults and 95,00O slum children New criminals are added yearly to the number of 10000. The facts show that the different kinds of work established by the Salvation Army are being carried on wisely, and the methods in use have secured the approval of Archdeacon Farrar and MT. Labouchere, men who are widely apart in their points of view, but who see in this philanthropic work much to commend.

rHM oOMnfSSTONERS

The good citizens of New Haven will feel relieved when they read this morn ing that the commissioners chosen by the Board of Aldermen last evening do not include those Democrats who have been shown to be wholly unfit for places on the commissions. And the Rev. Dr. Smyth will feel that his labors have not been in vain. Indeed, he will be enti- tied to feel that they have been decid- edly effective He has furnished most of the facts on which the action of last evening was based, and he has done his work carefully and solidly. He has now the hearty approval of public opinion and the goou wishes of all who want to see the city well governed. Among them, we are glad to say, are those Democrats who, led by the Register have made strong and open fight against the members of their party whc were willing to dishonor themselves and the city.
 The whole affair is very encouraging The Republican and the Democratic commissioners selected are all good men and will do good work.

Death of a Famous Lion.

A familiar figure has disappeared from the Geological gardens. On Sat urday morning the lion known as Duke breathed his last. Though he had lived for nineteen years in Regents park, whither he had been brought as a mere cub, he was never such fav- orlte as the elephants and camels who daily bear the loads of juvenile riders patiently, if not with entire acquies- cence. Still, he was an eminent and from distance-highly respected char acter. He had been photographed and sketched and painted times out of num- Der, and had even enjoyed what a great many portraits do not obtain-the dis tinction of being hung on the line in annual exhibition of the royal acad- emy. He was not exactly an amiable celebrity, He and his brother, who died two years ago, were brought from the Nubian desert in 1875, when the pair were about twelve months old. At that date he could have remembered almost nothing of his native haunts, and all his lifetime he has seen little save crowds of spectator Still, to the last he exhibited little affection for any one except his old keeper, and. d.unlike lions generally-many of which breed in cap- tivity-he displayed no inclination to forsake a bachelor life.-London Stan dard

Yeternn snnrtmen.

I was out day or two ago with the East Kent foxhounds, which under the new master, MT. Bligh, are showing very good sport this season and have already accounted for couple of dog en of foxes. But more interesting to me than any other incident of the chase was the presence of Squire Thompson of saltwood, who, in his ninetieth year, and possibly little bit older, was still as erect and alert in the saddle as l can remember him a generation ago, when he was a young fellow of sixty. On this particular occasion the gallant veteran had only a chance to display his prompt activity and minute know ledge of the country; but l was as- sured that little before he had held his own with the best in smart and stiff run. It would be gratifying to learn whether there are any other non agenarian rivals at present in the field. Captain Jennings, who may be seen out most weeks with the North Warwick shire, must run Squire Thompson hard, but am not quite sure whether he has passed out of the eighties.-Letter in St, James, Gazette.

Trying Circumstances.

A superior officer of a certain French garrison was some time ago the hero of a most amusing adventure. Col. z. had received from Madame V. an invita- tion to dinner, but on the day appointed, and just as he was about to start, he was seized with a violent attack of neu- ralgia, and decided to forego the pleas ure in store for him. The colonel wrote letter of apology, called his orderly, and said, Jules, you will give this let ter to Madame ", and then go and fetch me my dinner" Jules set off, af- ter carefully secreting the letter in his breast pocket along with his tobacco pouch. He arrived at Madame V.'s, de- livered his letter, and stood as rigid as a statue The lady of the house was surprised. and inquired what he was waiting for Jules replied, 'The colonel told me to fetch him his dinner" Ma dame V. saw the mans mistake, gave certain orders, and the servant banded the faithful linesman a set of dishes emitting fragrant odors. Moreover, NdudIlle V. SllppGd H iAe'AA DCN''S N+ champagne into the soldiers pocket,and said, "You will serve this to the colonel at desert." Jules came back, and the restaurant keeper seemed to have pro vided such a host of good things that the colonel got up and took his seat at the table. Over the soup he slowly began to recover his appetite, to his no small surprise The side dishes made him quite ravenous; with the entrees his pain disappeared; he was stupeied at the roast meat, and dumfounded at the game, and still his wonder grew at the marvellous dishes supplied by the restauranteur. At the dessert the order ly, obeying his instructions, set the bottle of champagne on the table. He was asked for an explanation, when everything came out.
 The colonel, in despair, thought the matter over and then gave his orderly ten francs, telling him to buy boquet of flowers and present it from him to Madame " Then the colonel, satisfied that he had done his best in such trying circumstances, settled down in an easy chair and composed himself to sleep An hour and half the door opened and Jules walked in and gravely de posted two five-franc pieces on the ta'

I'll E SERTICE PENSION.

Senator Peffer's plea for service pension fully and clearly set forth the facts to be considered in passing or re- jecting the bill providing for such a pension. It appears that there will be June 30, 1895, exclusive of deserters, 1, ,154, 4,S10 survivors of the Union volun- teers of the war of the rebellion, These veterans average sixty years of age and upwards. The death rate is now at the rate of 3O,0O0 annually. Of these more than a million veterans, 798,35S are drawing pensions, leaving 417,452 surz vivors who have not been pensioned under any law. Of the number pensioned 1 161, ,115 receive less than $S per month. Add these to the number that draw no pension and the total of 57S,567 is ob tained of survivors who would receive. the benefit of the proposed law. The record and pension bureau of the war | department, after q careful estimate, reaches the conclusion that the proba- | bic average length of service pension l
 would be seventeen years, meaning that while deaths will occur daily, yet that some of the younger and stronger men may live for forty or fifty years, but taking these extremes, and the average annual death rate into consideration, the term of. seventeen years is a safe and conservative average for the entire | body of survivors. This would be equiv aIent to an appropriation for seventeen years of $41, ,327,748 year to give a pension of $S a month to every man who war, who is not receiving a larger monthly pension under existing laws.
 There are precedents in this country for a service pension. The first was set in ISIS, thirty-ffve years after the treaty | of peoce between Great Britain and the United States, by congress, in 1818 passing a general service pension act, About twenty per cent. of the soldiers of the war of independence survived to whom was paid total of S46, 0S2, ,175 That act was passed when the country was poor and the population small l but it established the precedent. A service pension act was passed in 1871 for the survivors of the war of 1872. In 1887 a service pension was granted all soldiers of the war with Mexico who were 62 years old and upwards,

NEW MTSSION HOUSE.

The new mission house planned by the City Missionary association will be A great addition to the benevolent and benefcent features of the city. The association has long been doing good work in poor place, and the prospect that it will soon have a good place to work in is pleasing. Its present quar- ters are cramped and inconvenient, and new ones are much needed. The long experience of the Rev. MT. Moss man and the special investigation which he will make will enable him to give valuable advice concerning the new building, which will undoubtedly be well adapted to it's purposes, The associations fund is insufficient for cav rying out it's plan on cash basis, and it asks for help. It should have it, for it has done a great deal for the city and will, do a great deal more. Any money given to help it will be well in vested, and will bring rich returns to those who give 1t. The City Missionary association deserves well of the people of New Haven, and those who can afford to help 1t to be still more useful than it has been may well do so. It is a powerful and a judicious agent for

little shaping at the wrists and a rib bon drawn through the top, no one need be sure the mitts are stocking legs.
 Even with sleeves of elbow length, there is chance enough for goose flesh, but style demands that they end about the elbow, so what's to be done? Ac- cording to present fashions waist like that of this sketch would be quite ruined by extending its sleeve and the indications are that Jack Frost will have his opportunity for nipping femin- inc arms extended until spring settles him. As from it's sleeves, this waist is good example of correct dressing. It is composed of white reps embroidered with pink and pale green knots, and buttons behind, where 1t has tiny pointed cut-out. It's fitted lining IS draped with reps and the whole is gar nished with an initiated yoke of pleat- ed pink chiffon frills, together with fine lace insertion. The belt and sleeve or naments are of pink satin ribbons, and tiny, full basque completes 1t.

A new notion for the woman who risks pneumonia every time she goes to a ball is a pair of dress mitts, The arms become bitter cold, even under the opera cloak, when only covered by the thin kid of long gloves, These dress mitts are of heavy silk, knit loosely, they draw on to the shoulder and the hands are without fingers and long
 enough to come to the knuckles. They look a good deal like stocking legs, but then they aren't, but, by the same token, if you are not inclined to pay the very heavy price asked for these notions, stocking legs serve. With

The thieves of Chicago appear to be as smart as even the thieves of Hart ford. Last Thursday four or five per- sons drove up in an express wagon in front of one of the finest residences in oak Park and backed their wagon to the curb. They then entered the house and dismantled the parlor, taking valu- able paintings, bric-a- -brac, ornaments, vases. rugs and other movable articles, which they loaded into the wagon and then drove away. The family were at dinner at the time, with the door be- tween the dining room and the parlors closed. Neighbors saw the wagon in front of the house and the thieves load ing their plunder into it, but did not suspect that daylight burglary was heinz committed in their presence. The robbers got completely away, leaving no trace for successful pursuit.
