who had been dead for some time,
appeared and talked naturally with
her, but she was unable to ask If she
were really in the other world. The
most encouraging part of her tale is
that she wants to impress upon all
the truth of the sentence blessed
are the dead which die in the Lord, y
for she learned that death is indeed a
blessed thing, and she felt no especial
sorrow in leaving life and laying
down its burdens, only poignant
sympathy for her relatives and
friends who would mourn her death
afflicted her. This much Of view
into what Miss Dodge's experiences
were only serves to awaken desire
to read all she can tell about 1.-THE
valley OF the shadow of death" into
which she descended, but came back
to tell her friends on earth of what
she saw there.

CRISES OF AMERICAN HISTORY.

In "The Critical Period of Amerl-
can History" 17S3-1789, John Fiske
sheds food of light on the various
opposing views and interests then
prevailing in the thirteen original
states, with regard to the most de-
sirable form of government.
In his lectures in St. .Johnsbury Mr..
Fiske will review, at great length,
the strength and weakness of politi-
cal measures for the first fifty years
of our constitutional government.
The X Y Il dispatches; the alien and
sedition; laws; the danger of dis
ruption how averted; and many
other interesting facts will be dis
cussed.

A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.

The paper written by Miss Abigail
Dodge (Gail Hamlton) describing
her experiences while lying uncon-
scious at the point Of death last
spring, must have been listened to
with deep interest when it was read
in the church at Hamilton, Mass,
Sunday beforel last. Nothing, proba
bly,, has such deep interest for HUI
man beings as the mysterious portal
through which all must pass, AS we
believe, to another life, and when
woman OF Miss Dodge's prestige and
reputation as a thinker and a writer
comes forward to tell what she
learned in her experience we are com
PEELED to take more than usual inter
est in what she says. The manu-
script has not been given to the press,
but short sketch of what it con-
tanned has been published. She has
read her own obituary notices, a
thing in itself which must produce
peculiar sensation. She spoke of the
time when she was taken i'll in he:
room with the door locked and
knowing that something serious had
happened, tried to reach the sofa, so
that her friends would be spared the
shock Of seeing her dead on the floor.
She had not strength for this, and
fell beside the sofa. When her friends
found her, though apparently uncon,
scious, she realized the situation and
understood what was said for some
time, after which there was a long

REVIVAL OF MARIE AM OINETTE
STYLES.
Round Waists, Full Sleeves and FIarine
Skirts Still hold sway.

Round Waists, Full Sleeves and FIarine
Skirts Still hold sway.
The popular round waists, full
sleeves and Aaring skirts will continue
with us this autumn save for little
differences that make styles now
vary slightly from those worn last
spring. The revival in Paris OF Marie
Antoinette STYLES in midsummer,
writes Emma NJ. Hooper in the Octo-
Der Ladies Home Journal, has affected
the latest designs in silken goods;
the millinery and the gowns as well.
One thing is settled, and that is that
we are not going to carry around
skirts of immense weight, as we have
been doing. The most fashionable
skirts are now only interlined to the
knees. and in consequence are much
less of burden to the wearer. In
width they remain from FIVE to six
wards. The sleeves are also softer in
effect, though quite as'large and pro-
nounced in appearance as ever. 1t
is in the little things, instead, that
the styles have changed. Belts, COL
lars and cuffs have all proved them
selves capable of an infinite variety
of form and arrangement, and by
their effects change the oldgown into
the new, and make the new ones so
attractive.

THE HON. CECIL RHODES.

About thirty years ago, Professor
Maury, the noted scientist, predicted
that Natal, in South Africa, would
prove an excellent cotton-growing
country. Cecil Rhodes, a young
Englishman, tested Maury's predic
ton unsuccessfully. He then went
to the Kimberly diamond fields,
where, as searcher for precious
gems, he was fortunate. By dint OF
speculation he soon became million
aire, anu now owns the most lucra-
tive mine in that district. From
Kimberly he went to the Cape Colo
ny. entered the arena of politics, and
soon became its premier. Previously
he was asked by General Gordon to
accompany him to Upper Egypt, but
his engagements in South Africa,
prevented his compliance. A prime
minister, manager of the Queens
chartered company, and director of
numerous organizations, he has had
his hands full, probably too full, for
although only forty years of age, he
has grown thin and haggard, and
looks like an oVer~worked man.
That he is statesman OF high or
der, no one can doubt. He has been
compared to Lord Salisbury, Eat his
best" Excepting Gladstone, no man
during the last decade has impressed
more deeply on English politics, his
vivid personality. The Review OF
Reviews says of him: His exis-
tence is wildly felt as a tangi-
BILE entity of enormous initial veloc-
ity." Throughout South Africa, his
name is a household word. Beers,
Airicanders and blacks alike, watch
with amazement the development
of his schemes. Gungunyana, chief OF
Gozaland, joyfully handed over to
him the protecturate OF part OF his
country, regretting that the Portu
guese stood in the way of the Eng
llsh taking the whole. When re.
quested by the premier to give a
grant OF land to American mission
aries, the chief at once complied
Lewanka, chief of the Barotsi, gave
over in like manner the protector
ate of his kingdom, sending to Hei
Majesty, Queen Victoria, two mag
nihcent elephant tusks, though, am
sorry to say, they never reached her
a circumstance which grieved and
irritated the sable potentate.
That the premier is in favor Of
Home Rule is evident, from the pres
ent of $4,000 which he gave Mr.
Parnell not long before that states
mans death. When asked by Glad
stone why he did that, he replied
you would have made Ireland q
taxed republic. The day of taxed
republics, without representation
has gone by forever" SO thorough
ly Americanized are his ideas anc
methods, that many wonder he doe,

Mohair or Alpaca In Strongly Contrasting
CoIors the Vogue.

The material counted the newest
among those intended for the early
autumn costumes is the mohair or
alpaca. 1t is shown in all the dark
shades and in a number of the light
ones, while there is also displayed the
plain ground with figure in con-
trasting color printed upon it. A
special vogue is given to this pattern
by the French dressmakers, writes
Isabel A. Mallon in the October La
dies Home Journal, as it permits
contrasting trimmings, and allows
bit Of color that is most artistic.
Dark blue with scarlet figure upon
it, golden brown with dark blue,
white with black, black with emerald
green, and bottle green with golden
brown are some of the contrasts
shown in the printed mohairs.
Crepons will be worn all during
the season, but have not the very
heavy curve fancied in the past.
Light. weight cloths with smooth
surface bid fair to be popular, and as
they drape easily the extreme tailor
effect is not dedicated to them as it
was few seasons ago. The silk and
wool mixtures in two colors are liked
for street wear, but can scarcely be
cited as new. Soft wooden sultlngs
in the blue and green plaids obtain,
and really make very smart-looking
street dresses, provided, of course,
that the wearer has a tall, slender
figure.

1t is almost universally conceded

THE MISSING LINK.

A remarkable fossil found by Prof.
7. L. Workman in Southern Wyo-
ming, is hailed by scientists as the
long sought missing link. 1t is sup
posed to be a million and a half
wears old, and the story of its dis
covery is interesting. The professor
says the priceless skeleton was found
near the head of Bitter Creek IN
Southern Wyoming, about 10 miles
from the Colorado line. The region
was once the bed OF fresh water
lake. Sediment gradually accumu-
lated through unknown centuries
until it formed deposit two thou
sand to four thousand feet thick.
The sage iuhabitant whose remains
are now disclosed to the eye OF man
was apparently drowned in the lake.
His body was preserved as IN an
Egyptian mummy cave. By and by
the waters receded, new forces began
to operate, mountain streams rippled
the dry lake bottom, great chasms
were cut through the soft earth and
the skeleton was exposed on the sur
face OF a vast cliff.
The bones were broken in pieces
and portions fell to the base OF the
cliff. Prof Workman came along IN
the nick of time. His practlced eye
detected the presence OF an unusual
specimen, but who can describe his
Joy when he stopped and picked up
the tooth of monkey. 1.-The trag-
ments of bones" said the professor,
"were MANY of them almost as small
as a pin head and it required many
hours of time and great patience to
gather the pieces together until we
could make one perfect whole. We
gathered all the surface dirt over an
area of 25 or 80 feet square and
washed it out as the miner washes
out the gravel for gold. Then we To-
Gated the original resting place OF
the skeleton in the side Of the high
cliff and dug cut the remaining
bones"
No attempt to take complete meas
urements was made but the skeleton
is estimated to be two and hall feet
long, forming an animal about the
size and with the general makeup OF
a species OF monkey, known as the
whitefaced capuchin. The professor
saws some of the bones are missing,
but the skull is complete, and 1t
would be simple thing for any pal
eontologist to draw a complete pic
ture of the representative OF the hu-
man race AS he appeared long years
ago.
Soon after his return to New York
Prof. Workman willissue pamphlet
giving a full scientific description OF
the skeleton and deductions to be
drawn from the discovery. In this
work he will be assisted by Prof.
Osborne, curator OF the museum and
professor OF biology in the college.
