Religion Against Standard Fine.

novel argument against standard
time is made by Col. w. w. Bruce, OF
Lexington. In a communication to the
Argonant Col. Bruce says: Believing
in the Lord, and trying to obey His
commandments, / cannot believe in
standard time. The Lord made the sun
overhead at IL o'clock mot standard
time, but the good Lords time).

right to go against His will by adopt

Costumes for Those In Mourning.

>osiuhes IN "oufuinss
There is not a great deal of change
In deep mourning from year to year.
Henrietta cloth reigns supreme as the
correct mourning fabric. while Grape
wells of varied lengths proclaim the
relative mourned as plainly as the
death notice of parent or husband. In
the deepest mourning the Henrietta
cloth costumes made absolutely plain
are the correct ones TO wear. After
three months crepe trimmings may be
used; at six months entire gowns of
crepe are considered quite possible.
Widows mourning is the deepest, but
the last year or two ii has been the
fashion (as ii has been from time i'm
memorial in England to wear the sheer

which are so becoming. and tighten
the dead black. The white ruche in
side the bonnet is supposed to be the
widows cap, which at one time was al
ways worn: now caps. even for old
ladies, are out of fashion, so that the
ruche is merely symbolical.
For father or mother the mourning
is almost as deep as for husband,
but the veil is not so long, nor is the
mourning worn for the same space of
time. All mourning is now laid aside
much sooner than was formerly the
case, year to wear the long veil being
quite the limit. 1t is difficult to have
crepe bonnets becoming. but there is no
reason why they should not be made
so If only care be taken to have the
bonnet shape fit quite close to the head.
The folds of the veil will give all the
height that is necessary, and any fancy
shape only looks grotesque under the

PRACTICAL ANARCHISM.
Michael Braun Destroys Property to
Spite the Rich.

Spite the Rich.
Practical anarchism could be seen
at work in the house of Mrs. Mary NJ.
Bryson of New York recently. Mrs.
Bryson engaged a man named Michael
Braun to varnish the furniture, and
she agreed to pay him 81 a day. Ac-
cording to the story which Mrs. Bry-
son told the magistrate of the York
vile police court Braun destroyed
property in her house to the value Of
over 81 900 and he had no other appar-
ent motive but his hatred of the rich
and his principles of anarchism. He
is charged with mutilating a valuable
oil painting entitled THE Holy Fami-
ly." 1t is alleged that he cut off the
arm of the Virgin, represented in the
painting, and slashed the figure of the
child Christ in way that suggested his
desire to show his hatred of things re-
ligious. He is a small man, with low
forehead. Mrs. Bryson told the magis-
trate that she and her sister lived alone
in the house, and became alarmed at
the presence of the man, who continued
his work of polishing. She said that
when they addressed a remark to him
he would reply in vile language, and
they would be obliged to seek the Sc
clusion of their rooms. He had COM
plete run of the house. When spoken
to on Aug. he answered with an oath.
A few moments later they saw him
leave the house. and. going upstairs,
discovered the mutilation of the pic.

seemed 10 him, in his excited state. like
message from heaven. He rose. dress
ed himself. and went down TO the house
OF Dr.. Hudson. Perhaps his mother had
expected him, for she met him at the
door and led him in TO Agnes.
All Ralph's pride and anger broke
down at sight OF that poor stricken
face. He could have cursed himself that
ne had ever been angry with her for a
moment. He went TO the bedside and
lifted her head 10 his bosom, and put
his face down TO hers.
MY darling! my sister" he cried
agnes. look up at me! love you still!
She seemed dimly 10 comprehend, for
she smiled and put her weak arms
around his neck. and lying there on his
bosom she fell asleep.
From that time she rallied. and by
and-by the old doctor said she would
live. But she came back 10 life weak
and feeble as babe; it was weeks be-
fore her memory returned TO her fully,
and the spring opened with many a
bud and blossom before they thought 1t
safe 10 remove her TO the Rock.
And then, as the warm weather ad-
yanced, and Agnes grew stronger. she
was changed from her Cd self. She
cared no more for the old charms OF So
ciety, she sought no companionship,
but would wander for hours down on
the beach where she had played with
Lyndef Graham in childhood, with no
companion save the great dog Quito,
which had been Marina's.
She liked, too, to take long rides on
horseback-in fact, she seemed TO give
out all the love she had to give on Jove,
for the faithful horse had not died, but
Still lived and throve under the care

mes could never forget that Jove had
heightened out his life-the life of the

When IL n Woman Mac

All OF the leading actresses in Ger.
many have been asked the question
put above, and some OF the replies were
worth noticing. Jenny Gross takes 70
the usual refuge that "A woman .s "a
old as she looks" Frau Nuscha Rut,e
thinks "a woman is only old when she
tries to make herself young again"
Mary Popischil declares that "as longas
a woman believes in youth and
ciings to her youth she appears young
even when she is not really SO. and
Marie Reisenhofer considers somewhat
obscurely that woman is old when
she begins to love reason, and finds no
love in return" Rosa Bertens reflects
that "a woman is old when she begins
TO ask herself When is woman old?'"
and Clara Ziegler, the famous TRACE
dienne, is the author of phrase in her
reply: When is woman old? Tbe
conceited never, the unhappy too soon.

fine batistes are used for the smartest
OF these, and whole pieces of ribbon and
the loveliest of delicate laces are Law
ished on them. The batiste gowns are
especially lovely and launder in the
best possible way. Very, very pretty
ones are made Of this stuff in a soft
creamy tint, with tho narrowest of
Valenciennes lace set in at the seams.
Some sort of an odd, full collar flares
out over the big bishop sleeves, which
usually reach to the elbow and are fin
ished by frill of lace. The big sleeves

pie or grass green or bright yellow.
Somber colors appear dead in our eyes.
Our curiosity regarding color is stated
and we now turn our attention to form.
We find that skirts will generally be
flounced, sleeves are large. bodices will
be divided-if not by jacket fronts, by
a trimming which gives that effect.
Neck trimmings are aggressive and
higher than ever, although il is TO be
hoped that this mode will change be-
fore the hot weather is fairly upon us.
A Fifth avenue belle, who is already
preparing her summer outfit, has q
gown which is perfect symphony In
green. The gored skirt is of pale green
batiste-the sheerest linen batiste-on
which is a delicate line of white. Abou.
the bottom row of batiste rosettes,
resembling fall roses. encircles the
gown. A tiny cord of dark green velvet
outlines each seam of the skirt and that
material also enters into the designing
of the bodice. Straps of it appear on
each side, the front and down the sleeve
puffs.
The sleeves are curious, for each
strap of velvet was edged one side with
lace ruche, an outstanding ruche
which increased the apparent size OF
the sleeves.

ing as ever, and II was not long be-
fore she tried her power on Ralph
Trenholme. II was impossible to be in
her society without feeling her magnet
&c influence, and then the sympathy
she gave him was so very delicate, so
entirely suited to his needs. He Won
dered he had not before discovered
what a refinement Of feeling she pos
sessed. She made him understand with
out telling him that she pitied him;
made him feel that his sufferings were
more than the whole world.
Mrs. Trenholme looked on in secret
exultation, Agnes with a half defined
feeling OF dread for which she could not
account.
Imogene professed to be terribly
superstitious and could not be prevail
ed upon TO spend the night at the Rock

set in while she was there and 1t ragged

obliged to remain. She was strangely
nervous and restless all the evening.
She forgot 10 smile when Ralph spoke
20 her, and played chess so badly that
he put away the board in disgust. Imo-
gene begged to be allowed to sleep with
Agnes 1t was such fearful night, she
said and the old house was so lonely.
To reach the chamber of Agnes they
had to pass the door of the room where
Marina had been murdered. Imogene
grew ashen pale as they approached
1t, and clutched the arm Of her COM
panion with something like terror. Ag-
mes stopped and looked at her with
wonder.
What is 1t, Imogene? Are you ill.,"
The question acted on Imogene like a
shock Of electricity. She laughed loudly.

old house is enough to give one the ter

innumerable dark closets"

in that room" said Agnes; but never
fear poor Marina. The dead never come
back"

year had elapsed since the murder
OF Marina. when Mrs. Trenholme VEN
tured to speak to her son Of what lay
so near her heart. Ralph had been very
tender 70 her that day. more like his
old self than he had been since the
tragedy. She put her hand on his and
'spoke a little timidly.
Ralph, you once intended to marry

really marry to please me"'
He smiled q little sadly and touched
her hair caressingly.
