where they are lost under the pleats.
The bodice is blouse of the serge, with
two narrow box pleats of the material that
give the effect of braces. These are
trimmed with three of the bis pearl but
tons, and under them are slipped epau-
lettes of the green serge, trimmed across
with strips of braid. The corsage fastens
under the left box pleat. The sleeves are
small coat sleeves, trimmed at the bottom
with six bands of the black braid The
gown was to be worn with a black MORE
belt and tie and a white linen collar.
ATTRACTIVE JACKETS.
One of the most attractive little school
jackets L have seen is made of dark blue
serge. 1t has a broad box pleat at the
front, trimmed with small pearl buttons
than hang loose. The basques are short
and slightly rippled and are held in place
by a narrow belt that slips under
the front box pleat. The collar is a
big collar, trimmed around with rows of
narrow black braid. The sleeves are mod
crate coat sleeves, with small cuffs out
lined in the braid.
1t is really surprising to see how
French mother will contrive to make one
skirt answer for many waists. A French
woman actually told me that she had pro-
vided six waists for a skirt which her
daughter, a girl of 10, was to wear to
school.
Out of curiosity asked 20 see the skirt
1t was what we call a Mckinley plaid.
The groundwork was green, crossed with
red, yellow and blue stripes, placed so as
to make a very complex effect 1t was
decidedly pretty. The waists were green,

Miss Mary Cockrell was born Sep
TENDER. 1852, and departed this life
February ), 1897, aged IS years and
S months. She was the daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Cockrell, resid !
ing on Mill Creek, Berkeley county,
w. Va. Miss cockrell was sick
only few days. but we are glad to
note that she died trusting ia the
Lord. She leaves father aud mother,
two sisters and one brother to mourn
her loss. Funeral services were con
Quoted at her home by her pastor.
Rev. B. T. S. Busey. Her body was
taken to the old cemetery at Bunker
Hill, there to rest blythe side Of two
sisters and one brother, who preceded
her some years ago. She was loved
by all who knew her and will be missed
from the family circle.
Death comes an unsought guest to
every board and at his spectral bidding
some loved one goes forth to his mys-
ferrous home. Time and philosophy
may teach resignation unto hearts
made desolate by his coming; but they
can never fill the vacancy therein.
She who was our sister no longer casts
a halo about our dafkened hearth. A
sisters place so loved, so nurished,
once empty, must be forever so. A
sister is truly comfort to us upon
earth. Her goodness shields and pro-
tects, she soothes us in our troubles,
ever sheltering us with her absorbing
love. And when her angelic in
fluence, her tenderness and care cease,
how much we lose of home, of happi-
ness, of heaven, no one can reckon.
We only can know how kind she was;
how tender her memory must ever be.
Surely her angel spirit watches over
US, erasing with grateful tears the
records OF our sins and making easy
our path to her with blessed and bless
ing prayers.

Mr.. Louis Wolf has adopted a novel
scheme. He proposes on the rst of
May to give away splendid sewing
machine, which is now exhibited in
his window His plan is to place the
names Of all customers purchasing
goods to the amount of so cents in one
end of trunk and in the other end a
blank slip. In that end is slip of
paper with the word machine writ
ten thereon. The trunk is secured
with three locks, the keys to which
are held by Mr.. F. f. Wilson, Cashier
of the Peoples Bank Mr. Fred Keis-
come, Agent Of the Adams Express
Company, and the Editor of the Her
aid, who will, May I, open the trunk
and make the award, by drawing a
name from one end and slip from
the other end. The name drawn at
the same time as the one with ma
chine on it. will get the machine.
1t is fair offer and costs nothing as
all who purchase goods from Mr. Wolf
get the full worth of their money.

GENUINE CIVIL SERVICE.

The Philadelphia Press is an advo-
cate of civil service. and from the tone
Of recent editorial appears to be will
ing to accept the situation as Grover
Cleveland arranged it. Finally,
changing front, the Press says:
THE cause Of civil service reform
will be safe in the hands of the next
Administration, safer, in fact. than it
has been in the care of the present
Administration which most of the In
dependent newspapers, which are now
so apprehensive as to the safety of
the reform, helped to elect There
will be no footing Of the consular
service, such a. Josiah Quincy was
authorized by Cleveland to make and
the appointment of political hacks
and personal tavorites to take the
place of tried public servants. There
will be no appointments of men who
eulogized John Wilkes Booth, the
slayer of Abraham Lincoln, to i'm
portant foreign missions. There will
be no Juggling with the post offices
by beginning to make changes in the
southwest and proceeding eastward,
and doing it quietly so as to deceive
the public and so rapidly that all pre-
vious records are surpassed; and then
when the Democrats have full posses
sion of the offices issuing an extern
sion of the civil service rules so as to
protect these partisans in office.
This has been the Cleveland meth
cd, but it will not be the Mckinley
method. President Mckinley will
have behind him party that believes
in real, not sham civil service reform
and it will support him in his efforts
to enforce sincerely the provisions Of
the law. In his letter accepting the
nomination to the Presidency Mr..
Mckinley called attention to the evil
dent purpose of the Democrats to re,
turn to the methods of party favorit-
ism and said: The Republican par.
ty earnestly opposes this reactionary
and entirely unjustihable policy. Il
will take no step backward on this
question. 1t will seek to improve but
never to degrade the public service.
That is an assurance of what the pol
lev of the next Administration will
be with respect to civil service reform
The people of this country have
enough faith in Major Mckinley tc
believe that this personal pledge ant
the pledge of his party will be kept.
The members of Congress and the
newspapers which have been demand
ing readjustment are willing to in
dorse the paragraph first quoted ant
we also agree that the reform" re
ferred to is as the Press truly states
''the Cleveland method" 1t is tina
to which we object. Should Republi
cans permit the benefciaries of tn,
footing Josiah Quincy's and TIL
Benedict's political hacks and per
sonal favorites' who took the places
of tried public servants-to retain
their present positions, then would
the Republican party condone the in
fanny and also be guilty of base in
gratitude. Let us have a thorough
oyerhauling. AS President Mckinley
said, let us take no step backward.

Report of the Mutual Life for 1890,


The continuous, magnificent growth
of The Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of New York has for many de-
cades been a source of pride to its ar
my of policy-holders and of wonder to
those interested in social economies
throughout the civilized world. In
many respects The Mutual Life stands
alone as to its position. There is
nothing like it. Its Annual Report
of business for the year ending De-
cember 81, 1896, the full details of
which are now in the hands of the
New York State Insurance Depart
ment, shows that the Company pos
sesses net assets aggregating $234,-
744, I48,42. The books of the Com
pany indicate, according to its own
STANDARD of policy valuation, a much
larger sum than that, but this year
the report is made in conformity with
the requirements of the State Depart
ment, which excludes assets that are
not realized upon. but which are
proper to regard as ultimately good
and available. The liabilities on the
risks in force amount to $2oS, oIo, $685.
70, leaving a surplus fund of $2o,733,-
5I47o. This shows an increase in
admitted assets during 1896, accord
ing to the New York State standard
of SIS. o4o, COS. a2, and an increase in
surplus Of $a,853,467. 90.
The total income of the Company
for the year was $4,000, 695. ~. The
amount paid to policy.holders aggre.
gated $25,437, 500. so. Since the date
of its organization, in I843, The Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company has paid
to living members $25S,959,45L53,
and to the benefciaries of deceased
members $I78, o45,743.76, making a
total of $437, COS, 1875 20. The Com
pany has insurance in force amount
ing to over $oI8, 900, 900.

up eternal joy.
