President Cole next introduced Will
d. Gould, who also took the flag of his
country as his theme. He said he was
devoutly thankful that 5000 men in Los
Angeles county had been bold enough
to separate themselves from their party
and declare that under that flag every
policy. either financial or economic,
shall be for the best interests of the
American people, independent of every
other nation; that it shall stand for
liberty for all people, independent Of
wealth. He reminded his hearers, too,
that other questions are pressing close
upon the silver question that demand
attention. He drew special attention to
the indications of an intention to del
egate to corporations the power vested
in the people alone to issue paper money.
He warned them against such encroach-
ments upon their liberties, holding that
men who would not die in liberty's cause
ought to be slaves.
Ex-Governor Sheldon was the last
speaker, and was in turn presented to
those assembled by President Cole. He
said he could conceive of no higher ex-
preston of gratitude to God than the
throwing to the breeze of the stars and
stripes. He reminded some OF those
present Of the days when they had seen
the flag torn with shot and shell. "Is it
any wonder we love it?" queried the
speaker. But it is not" said he, "its
glory that it has inspired to great
achievements in war; there are its
achievements of peace in defending just
principles of popular liberty. And these
questions are always with us. The bat
tie in behalf of good government is never
won. 1t Is with us every day, and man
who shuts his eyes to this is not the best
kind of citizen. approve the action of
the Republican League clubs. They have
the right to propagate their opinions and
so have we, and it is only by discussion
that the truth may be arrived at Some
men hold opinions simply because their
fathers held them, forgetting that cir
cumstances and conditions change, and
he who cannot adapt himself to the new
environment Is an old fogy."
The speaker then proceeded to say u
few words on some of the political ques-
tlons agitating the public mind. and
advocated an inheritance tax 20 replen-
ish the treasury, which he contended
could not furnish enough money for the
needs of the government by any system
of tariff taxation.
After the speeches an adjournment
was made to the parlors of the club,
when the officers and large number of
guests partook of luncheon together.
In this manner very pretty ceremonial
was brought to a close.

WINTER MILLINERY.

Large Hats Are Favored for Street Wear
Only.
For elderly women the shapes are
more becoming than is usually the
case; they are little larger than the
cap style, and cover the entire top of
the head. They all have strings, which
are crossed at the back of the head and
tied under the chin, made of narrow
velvet ribbon. 1t is considered quite
permissible for women with gray hair
TO wear puppies, the greens, and even
reds; and some very pretty bonnets
have the crown of embroidered velvet,
with soft ruching of plain velvet
around the face to make them more
becoming.
The edict has gone forth that tho
large hat shall no longer be worn in
the theater, and woman who tries to
wear one is made to feel so uncomfort-
able that she very soon takes it off, so
that it is now a well-accepted fact that
large hats are only for street wear
Worn with walking costumes, they are
very appropriate, and if becoming, ex-
ceedingly so. A great many plumes
are used in trimming them. All black
hats of this description are very much
| in favor, sometimes made entirely of
velvet; sometimes the crown of velvet
with a briIn either of plain or braided
| silk, or even with shirred brim of
heavy satin; and while all black feath-
ers are considered very smart.
| other different colors, and even white,
are very much used. All gray hats are
| favorites this season, and one of shaded
| velvet made with quite a low crown is
| trimmed with two long plumes, most
gracefully arranged, one falling over
the brim almost down to the shoulder.
With the hair arranged Pompadour, as
| is now the fashion, these hats are put
on slightly to one side, and sometimes
have the brim turned up very sharply
at the left But many have only brirn
which is curved at both sides.-Har-

ANCIENT ExTRAvAGANCE.

Lavish Display of Jewelry by Men and
Women
The great display of jewels by women
of fashion ON both sides of the ocean
has been severely criticised, even by
those who could well afford to wear
jewels if they desired to. But if TIE
precedent of history furnishes any
justification for this fashion the jewel
wearers of the present day are thor
oughly Justified According to PIiny,
Lolita Pauline, the wife of Caligula,
wore on her head, arms, neck, hands
and waist pearls and emeralds to the
value of SI,6So, 900. Faustina had
ring worth 100000. Domitia had one
worth $500, 900 and Caesonia had n
bracelet worth S4o0, Oo0- Seneca bewailed;
that one pearl in each ear no longer
suffices to adorn a woman; they must
have three, the weight of which ought
to be insuppcrtable to them
There were women in ancient Rome
whose sole occupation was the healing
of the ears of the bellies who had torn
or otherwise injured the 1obes with the
weight of their pendants. Poppaea's
earrings were worth S750,oOO, and
Caesars wife, Calpurnia, had pair
valued at twice that sum- Marie de
Medicis had dress made for the cere-
mony of the baptism of her children
which was trimmed with 30 900 pearls
and 5000 diamonds, and at the last mo-
ment she found it was SO heavy she
couldn't wear it and had to get another
But men led in the splendor of the mid
die ages, and Philip the Good of Bur-
gundy often wore jewels valued at
$500, 900. When he walked along the
streets the people climbed over each
other to get a look at MIN. The duke of
buckingham wore suit at the court of
ST. James which cost S40O,Oo0. The
dress of the mobiles during the middle
ages was literally covered with gold and
precious stones.-San Francisco Chron-

NOBLE MOTIVES


L Dug kAcSarolnS the PROPER TeaCRs
ing of Children.
1t seems strange that any mother
| who loves her child should ever in
still into his mind anything but the
| noblest motives for conduct. Children
easily appreciate high motives and
learn to despise unworthy ones. 1t is
a great mistake to ask child to be
good because some one is looking at it,
or for some paltry reward or from fear
| of punishment. The motive from which
q child acts should be more carefully
considered than its action. Conscien-
tious children are often guilty of
grievous blunders. The child in such
a case needs only instruction, and never
condemnation. So long as the motive
| was sincere the action is of trivial con-
sideration, because it does not affect
| the formation of character. On the
other hand, a most worthy action may
sometimes be clouded by a contempti-
bic motive. Where it is clearly shown
| that a child acts merely from love of
praise the matter is one for the serious
consideration of the mother. No trait
| Of character is more easily acquired by
a child and none is more disagreeable
| or difficult to overcome than that of the
infantile prig- Self-sufficiency is com
| mon fault of petted children, and one
that is particularly unlovely.
Until taught by motives of fear or
greed to be cunning and undetermined a
child is naturally frank, and is easily
| susceptible to the noblest motives. The
| mother should appeal to the little one
to be good and truthful, because good
ness is lovely and because such rourse
is the only noble one. 1t is rare that
the child does not instantly appreciate
the motive. Nature has implanted in
every childish heart a natural love of
beauty and truth. 1t is instructive for
a child to speak the truth until fear
causes him to do otherwise. A vivid i'm
| agination sometimes causes children
| to relate wonderful tales of their expe-
| riences. This is not to be considered as
untru thfulness, but the habit is one to
be watched, for it may develop in adult
life into an unhappy habit of exaggera-
ton. The child should be questioned
and taught to distinguish between the
unreal world of its fancy and the real
exact and truthful statement cannot
be formed too early.
All the instruction of the child of to-
day tends to make him methodical in
thought \ bright child soon recog-
niZes inferior motives and estimates ac-
cordingly those who advance them. If
you expect to retain the respect of
your children do not give them a motive
for action that you yourself would de-
spise. Teach them to understand and
live up to the highest standard-N. Y

THE CHURCH OF THE NATIVITY
The Venerable Building That Marks the
Birthplace of Christ.

The Venerable Building That Marks tho
Birthplace of Christ.
We return in time to see the process
sion of bishops, priests and people that
is forming in the square in front of the
church. Each is dressed in his most
gorgeous robes. Turkish soldiers line
both sides of the street to keep the way
open for the procession to pass. The
latin patriarch of Jerusalem has just
arrived. The procession of priests, carr
rying banners and immense candles,
meets him, then turns, and all gointo
the Latin chapel through the main
entrance. Following, we are surprised
to find the main entrance SO small. 1T
can admit but one at a time, and that
one must stoop to enter. From the ma
sonry it can be seen that the entrances
was; once much larger. The reason for
the change was that the Mohamme-
dams at one time did all in their power
to niure and annoy the Christians, and
even used to ride on horseback into the
very church. The door therefore was
made small to protect the church from
this sacrilege.
Once inside, we see we are in a, very
ancient structure. Part of the masonry
dates from the time of Constantine,
who built magnificent basilica ON
this site, about the year $50 of our era.
All we can see of the oldest work, how
ever, probably dates from not later
than Justinian's time, about $50 a. ID.
In any case, the church is venerable
building, and it has witnessed some
stirring scenes. In it Baldwin the
Crusader was crowned king of Jerusa-
lena Tt has been repaired number of
times; and once, when it needed new
roof, King Edward ". of England gave
the lead to make one. This was about
the year 1852. The lead roof did good
service for about 200 years, and might
have lasted much longer had not the
Mohammedans melted it up to make
bullets. However, another roof was
soon provided,
Inside, the building consists of a.
nave and double aisles. The aisles are
separated by two rows of columns
made of red limestone. These columns
have plain bases, and are surmounted
by Corinthian capitals. They are 10
feet high, and at the top of each a cross
is engraved The church is now owned
by the Latin, Greek and Armenian
Christians.-Edwin s. Wallace, In st.
Nicholas.

about half pound of mud to each per-

the gain is inestimable. A little green

a GAME PIE.
How to Prepare Very PalatabIe Holiday
Dish.

Dish.
The most simple method is to make
what is genera ny called timbale. To
raise the crusl from the pie with the
hands is a difficult task and can only be-
accomplished by skilled and experienced
hands. Therefore the raised pies are
usually made in mold, and have the
advantage of being more easily made
than where the paste is raised with the
hands. Make a stiff, short crust; to
every pound of flour allow half pound
of butter, the yolks of two eggs and
half a pint of water. Work it up very
smoothly. Butter a raised pie-mold
and line with the paste. Previous to
making the crust, bone the game-par-
fridge, quail, woodcock, or whatever IS
to be used-and rub well with pounded
mace, allspice. pepper and salt; then
spread over ali a layer of force-meat
made by chopping two ounces of ham,
one teaspoonful CT parsley and the
peel of half lemon; mince very fine,
add a seasoning to taste of salt, cayenne
and mace; blend all thoroughly to-
gether with six ounces of breadcrumbs.
Beat two eggs, work these up with the
other ingredients, and use as directed.
Roll the fowl over the force-meat. Line
the pie with force-meat; put in the
game, packing it in we'll; wet the edges,
put on cover of paste, pinch the edges
together; brush over with the bea.-n
yolk of an egg, and bake in a moderate
oven for four hours. In the meantime,
make a good, strong gravy from the
bones; pour it through funnel into
the hole at the top, and the pie is ready
for use. If the pie is to be eaten cold
the gravy must be considerably reduced
before it is poured into the pie, as,
when cold, it should form firm jelly,
hence it is wise to use knuckle of veal
in making the jelly. Should the pie
acquire too much color in baking cover
with a piece of brown paper, as the
crust should not in the least degree
be burned. Mushrooms, truffies or
oysters may be added to enrich the
flavor of these pies. These pies are
more frequently served cold than hot
The cover is sometimes carefully re-
moved, leaving the perfect edges, and
the top garnished with bits of bright
aspic and sprigs of fresh parsley. which
