trouble and no trifing expense. First,
an astrologer must be consulted with
regard to the most lucky day for begin
ming the work; then a square suspended
from the ridge-beam is notification to
the spirits Of darkness that their dwell
ing place is to be disturbed, wherefore
the square thing for them to do is to
move out quietly and peacefully. Next,
the carpenters make offerings to these
unseen residents. These gifts seem to
say, IF you please, spirits Of darkness,
accept this bribe and speedily take your
flight" Next, the neighbors must be
warned that these evil influences are
about to be turned loose, perhaps to seek
shelter under neighboring roof. Every
house on that street receives a notice
that upon a certain day and hour repairs
are to begin on the dwelling Of All Sin.
Each household can then pray the imps
not to enter their doorway, but to 60 to
the next neighbor.

with women makes a man live longer, as
shown by the fact that the average life
OF the married man is longer than the
average life Of the single man. The fact,
however, is denied by the end-man at
the minstrels, who says that the life Of
the married man is not really longer, but
only seems so.
SO far there is no satisfactory expIana-
tlon OF the original proposition why more
women live to be hundred. Some say
1t is because women are less addicted to
tobacco and strong drink, others say
that it is because it is more healthy TO
spend money than it is to earn it, and 40
on. It may be many Of the men who
would live to be hundred are killed at
an ea.ly age in casualties to which
women are not exposed. It may be that
tight lacing is life preserver, and it
may be not fact, after all. Possibly
the English Registrar General may be
mistaken. The situation is replete with
possibilities.

A woman cannot be entirely womanly-
she cannot be a perfect woman-if she is
not in perfect health. In just so much as
her sickness affects the organs that make
her woman, in just so much she loses at
tractiveness. This is the vital part of her
health. Ifanything is wrong here, it may
result in all manner of ills all over the body.
Careless, or too busy, physicians frequently
treat the symptoms Of this kind of disorder
as separate and distinct ailments. The
symptoms are many and varied, so much
so that when woman is sick in any way,
the first thought should be given to the
organs distinctly feminine. About nine
times in ten the cause of the trouble will be
found there. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre-.
scription cures all disorders OF this kind.
There IS no guess-work about it. There is
no chance about it. 1t is a fact tina
has been demonstrated in thirty solid years
of extensive practice. Thousands of
womep have written grateful letters, who
have wished the whole world of women To
know the wonderful things the "Prescrip-
tion" has done for them.

The Social Organism.

The whole Of our industrial organiza-
tion, from its main outlines down to it's
mlnutest details, has become what it is.

but, to considerable extent in spite Of
legislative hindrances. It has arisen
under the pressure of human wants and
activities. While each citizen has been
pursuing his individual welfare, and
none taking thought about division of
labor, or, indeed, conscious of the need
for it, division of labor has yet been ever
becoming more complete. 1t has been
doing this slowly and silently; scarcely
any having observed it until quite modern
times. By steps go small that year after
year the industrial arrangements have
seemed to men just what they were be.

About Trinity Church.

People often read about Trinity Church
New York, but few persons know any
thing about it's history On the 9th day
OF the present month the good people
who worship there celebrated the closing
OF the second century Of the church'a
existence. The newspapers Of the great
city gave elaborate reports Of the pro-
ceedings. The church was founded by
grant from the British Crown, now
more than 200 years ago.
On May 6, 1897, William III Of Eng
land granted royal charter, with con-
cessions Of land, "for a certain church
aud steeple to be built in the city Of New
York, without the north gate Of the city,
near to a street called Broadway" A
year later an edifce had been built on
the site, and Trinity Church was opened
for service, The church, in these 200
years, has grown to be the richest corpo.
ration OF the kind In the country. It's
lands are covered with buildings which
bring in large rental. Its business
affairs are conducted with as much care
as those Of the Bank Of England. On
the occasion Of the late celebration it's
rector, Rev. DR., Dix, delivered an address
recounting the church's history. He
said, among many other things:
"Only 223 years have elapsed since the
city was founded, and for 200 Of those
years our church has stood where it now
stands. Our history runs nearly as far
back as that of the city. The FIRST Trim
ity Church was built near the city wall,
ON the extreme edge of the town. Ithad
many enemies and adyersaries, ready
and desirous to frustrate the work-op-
ponents Of EpiscopRcy, seceders from the
Anglican communion, jealous members
Of other religious bodies. The Atory OF
the founding Of a church and parish OF
the English type in New York is one OF
great interest.
"Ehe charter was dated May 6, 1897,
and the church was erected and opened
For service in 1893. The Bishop Of Lon
don was named in the charter as first
rector. With his consent the office was
given to William Vesey, who continued
rector for forty-nine years. Mr.. Vesey
was not dissenter, as has been stated
by some, but OF an old family of Church
'f England people and Jacobites; a grad.
nate Of Harvard, and lay reader at
Kings Chapel in Boston at the time of
his appointment as rector. There have
oeen nine rectors Of the parish, not
counting the Bishop of London"

The Longevity Of Women.
Nom the BAltimore Sun

From the Baltimore Sun.
A report from the Office of the Regis
trar General Of England shows that
there are more female than male Gen.
tenarians. Out OF q million people 225
women reach the age Of 100 years, while
only eighty-two men round out the CEN
tury. Now, the great conundrum which
is proposed is: Why is this so? Accord
ing to popular superstition, it takes
much longer for q woman to reach even
the age Of 80 than it takes for a man to
reach that age. II this is true, IL makes
the showing all the more remarkable. It

One Way to Roast Beef.

From the New York sun.
When beef is to be roasted it should
be placed in very hot oven at first, so
that the surface will be quickly Drowned,
thus making coating by which the
juices Of the meat will all be retained.
The temperature Of the oven should then
be lowered and the meat cooked slowly
and be frequently basted, unless it is in
o covered pan, The time allowed for
roasting a large piece of beef is usually
twelve minutes for every pound and
twelve minutes for the pan, writes a con-
tributor
To prepare piece of beef for roasting
do not wash it, but wipe it off with a
damp cloth. Place it in o baking pan,
rub some beef drippings over the top and
dredge the top and sides with -four. Put
in the pan couple Of spoonfuls Of drip
pings. Water should not be added il
you wish the roast to be nice brown,
and do not add the salt and pepper to
the pan until after the surface of the
meat has been we'll Drowned. Remem-
Der that after the first twenty minutes
roast beef requires moderate oven, and
haste the meat frequently with its own
drippings from the pan. II there is dan
ger Of the gravy growing too brown or
cooking away, little beef stock may be
added TO the pan, and frequently gill
OF cooking wine Is added to the pan in
the last twenty minutes Of cooking, Civ
ing the gravy delicious flavor.
When the roast is sufficiently cooked
remove it to heated platter and make
the gravy. First turn off the top grease
from the liquid in the pan. and if there
is not sufficient liquid left add a little
stock Lightly dredge the pan with
-four and stir over hot fire. Season
with spoonful Of sauce and more salt
and pepper, il needed. Strain into
heated gravy boat and serve
For a pot roast get short, thick piece
Of the cross rib Of the beef and lard it
with little strips Of clear, fat pork. Put
the pot in which the meat is TO be
cooked over the fire, and when it be-
comes hot put in the beef and brown it,
