collar was covered with Alaska
sable. Around the bottom of the
coat was wide band of black velvet
applied to the bias, with black satin
piping cord at each edge. The
sleeves were the modified gigot.
Down the two front plaits was n
line of the passementeries, reaching
to the bottom. The yoke was deep.
er than at the back.
There are several Russian blouses
with the skirt part left outside be-
low the belt. These skirts are
finished off to match the trimming
placed elsewhere upon the blouse.
These blouses are for street wear for
the young women, and are worn
I over an undervest OF chamois.
There was one with a dropping
collar of astrakhan. All the rest
was dark green cloth-the whole
waist, the belt and upper part of the
sleeves being overlaid with black
satin milliner's folds. The skirt to
this blouse was eight inches deep
and bound and bordered with the
black satin. To go with this blouse,
which, by the way, matched the
skirt, there was muff of astrakhan,
the centre part made straight, while
at the ends there was deep,
doubled ruff1e made of the same
rich fur. The hat was of black Felt,
with narrow shirrings of black satin
put on like spokes to wheel from
the centre of the crown to the brim.
1t is to be worn tipped sharply to
the left side, and on the brim is a
line of pale pink velvet rosette5, and
above that is an enormous tuft of
black ostrich plumes falling in every
direction.
There was beautiful tailor gown
for young married lady in gray
and cadet blue stripes. The skirt
was seven gOred and four yards
around, but made to set out well by
the judicioIs application of feather
bone. The coat was cut round at
the waist and an eight-inch skirt
set to it with piping, and some
what sprung all around. The collar
was a high dog band, with a little
outstanding collar like the edge of a
dish. Across the front of the basque
was row of eight hussar loops and
breloques in gold. The sleeves were
braided, and two rows of the same
went around the bottom of the
basque and the skirt sewed on fiat.
This braiding and hussar garniture
are seen on very many of the finest
costumes.
There was a beautiful Paris coat
brought here last week expressly for
the horse show. 1t was of corded
silk, heavy and thick, and of a deep
dark blue. The vast part was cut,
like so many of the newest ones,
with the fronts in short but we'll de-
fined tabs. The rest, all back of the
dart, was cut away in bolero fashion
over very wide belt of rich black
satin. Below this in the back was
little plated position. The
sleeves, collar and centre, were en-
broidered in heavy silk, with, a few
very fine jet beads. The collar was
of the Lafayette shape, but wide
and staid firmly by featherbone, and
this was, like the deep revers, made
of thick white satin, with triple
shirring of white silk muslin three
inches wide. The full vest was of
shirred silk muslin over the satin.

PARLIAMENT AND THE TURF.
A Case IC Which Government Was A.
NEST Overthrow by Ascot.

Five or six years ago an astute Rad
ical, Mr.. Samuel Storey, with charac-
teristic wariness, very nearly caught
the government of the day tripping. He
had been left speaking" on Tuesday
night in June and announced his in
tention to continue his remarks on a
rather exhaustive scale upon the follow,
ing Thursday, when the debate was to
be resumed. This was just what a mum.
Der of Unionist gentlemen wanted, for
it happened that a little ''event" known
as the Gold Cup was to be decided that
afternoon at Ascot, and, much as it
grieved them to miss the eloquence Of
Mr.. Storey, they were bound to choose
between the two attractions. So-possi-
bly, with grieved hearts, and also posi-.
bly, not-they hied them TO the royal
heath in comfort and contentment
On returning they looked in" to the
house of commons to see. everything
was all right and found that everything
had been all wrong. For the sagacious
Sunderland Radical, having glanced
around him and beheld the poverty of
the land, thought that his own words
might be silvern, but division would
be golden. Accordingly he stated his
intention not to indulge in further crit
icism, and before the few Unionists
could recover from their amazement or
put up man to talk against time until
the Ascot visitors returned division
was called.
A few Of the "early BIRDS" having
missed the last race in order to reach
Westminster as speedily as possible,
drove into Palace yard as the leather
lunged policemen were shouting " wi
sion" The dread word, borne on the
summer breeze, told its own tale, Into
the lobby they rushed like madmen,
just in time to save the government
from an awkward defeat. Mr.. Storey,
though not sporting man, smiled
sweetly. He had been done by "only a
short head" And he would have actu-
ally won if dozen horse racing lovers
of his own side of politics had not also
abjured Westminster for the pleasant
plain of Berkshire. Thus was Mr.. Stor-
ey prevented from bringing off a.glori-
Gus triumph.
The moral of the tale is the fallibil-
ity of human nature-even Radical hu-
man nature. 1.-THE Cup" begat Mr..
Storey's fearful hope of "a COUP" and
he very nearly succeeded in bringing it
off. Since that time the party whips"
have marked the Ascot Thursday with
black mark and taken heed unto their
forces
By way of revenge it was the Ascot
Friday = which nobody troubled to
think about-that ruined the Rosebery
government in 1895. Men went away
to see the racing, and on returning to
town found, when dining at the club,
that an ardent band of astute diplomat
lists had skillfully toppled over Sir Hen
ry Campbell Zimmerman, the war min
lister, on the comparatively insignificant
question Of cordite, 1t is hard thing,
after black week in backing horses,

to face with the terrors of general

Training the Child.

There are indeed certain qualities
which we would all like our children
to pOssess-honesty, courage, truth
fulness, discretion, and so forth; but
there is no one method by which
these qualities may be implanted in
all breasts. Besides, so great a gulf
lies between the ideas of the adult
and those Of the child that advice
given in all good faith may have the
most surprising results. You ad-
wise your timid boy to be brave, and
with the intention of obeying you he
so overcOmes his natural terrors as
to climb the highest tree in the
neighbOrhood or venture out In a
leaky boat, or you bid him be truth
full, and he brings you stories of
school room and nursery, with over
heard bits of kitchen gossip, till you
think he is growing into a sneak
and telltale. Then you impress
on him the duty of loyal silence, of
reticence concerning other peoples
affairs, with the result that he lies
through thick and thin, bears un-
deserved accusations and even I'M
deserved beatings, to save friend
or even a servant from the con-
seque1ceiof misdeeds.
For the child is an extremist in all
things. He knows black and white,
but his moral color sense takes no
cognizance of gray-Or those limita-
tions and compromises by which we
guard our virtues and seek to save
ourselves from "the defects of our
qualities" 1t is not strange if, be-
wildered at being rebuked for
everything he does, he gives up try
ing to be good" and is merely
natural, which indeed, may produce
quite as satisfactory results.-Hos-
pital.

ONE STEP AT A TIME.

AS sat alone in the cleaning,
Toil-Worn with the cares OF the day,
And unused on the untrOdden future,
That stretches so far away,
NY brain il grew faint with the vision,
And my heart with foreboding stood
still .a
Lest my strength should fail on the
journey,
Ere my feet touched its uttermost
hill.
And my timorous soul was aweary,
And silenced the voice of my song,
As cried, like child in the darkness
40 Father, the way is so long
The mountains are steep, and the val
leys
But barren and verdurelpss plains,
| shall sink by the wayside, my Father.
Overborne by the struggles anc
pains"
Then out from the silence and darkness,
The voice of my Father l hear:
80 cease, weary one, thy complaining
Look upward, and be of good cheer.
Shrink not FROM the journey before
thee,
Nor shudder at trials to be,
One step at time is the measure
Thy Father requireth of thee"
SO now have learned my lesson,
And brighter the pathway appears;
darken, no more, the tomorrow
With forecasts of sorrow and tears.
Iknow that my Father is guiding
My feet to glorious cline,
And sweetly III finish the journey
BY only one step at time.

The Ministry of JOY.

Joy is, in fact, the normal inherit
ance of every son of God, and sor-
row is but means of education and
growth. 1T is great, solemn
thing to be happy" says Bishop
Brooks, "when all happiness means
a loving God. We think of sorrow
only as serious and deep. We go
tinkling the bells that ought to ring
with litanies." For happiness is the
inevitable fruit of faith. The great
humorists have all been serious
men; for'humor must play. against a
background of serious thought. In
like manner happiness is possible to
those alone who have looked the
sorrows of life in the face, and mas
teTed them by accepting them. To
all who know that God is in his
world, joy is not only privilege, II
is ais" duty; for joy breeds joy,
aud happy face on a dark path Is
the best evidence to those who look
upoI it that there is sunshine be-

Pennsylvania surnames.

The United States offers peculiar in
terest in this field, owing to the
changes undergone by foreign names in
their new environment. OF course New
England names, being merely the trans
planting of English originals, offer on
ly the interest of ordinary orthograph-
ical and orthoepical variations, but
even here there are many phenomena
which would well repay investigation.
The richest field, however, of this sort
is offered by Dutch and German sur
names, the former being found mainly
in New York and the latter in Penn
sylvania. 1t is with the latter that this
paper has TO do.
During the eighteenth century be-
tween so, 900 and 100, 900 Germans and
Swiss settled in the southern counties
of Pennsylvania. Their descendants to-
day number hundreds Ct thousands.
What has been the fate of their names?
We may assume, on a priori grounds,
that scarcely ] in 100 has remained I'M
changed. When, how, on what princi-
pie, were these changes madei These
questions suggest exceedingly interest
ing problems to the investigator.
AT the beginning of the last century
the law itself Of Pennsylvania inter.
fered, and all Germans who received
grant of public lands were required to
anglicize their names But of course
the most potent influence at work was
the natural objection to the incOnven-
fence arising from having names which
Others could with difficulty spell or pro-
nounce. '-Lippincott's Magazine.

Rubinstein's Disillusions.

The posthumous Souvenir" of Ru-
binstein in the Ycm FEELS yum Nicer
contain some of the disillusions of
great musician. Rubinstein alludes to
a concert organized by Pasdeloup, which
he conducted in Paris, the programme
consisting mainly of his own compost
tons 1t was held at the Cirque, and
some 1000 people were present.
Throughout Rubinstein was possessed
with the conviction that the attention
of the entire world was directed exclu-
sively upon him. On reaching his hotel
Rubinstein was met by an old friend,
who expressed the greatest surprise at
seeing him. "Whatn exclaimed the
friend, you in Parish When did you
arrive? One never hears a word about
you nowadays. Are you thinking of
giving any concerts in Parish" Rubin
stein was so much taken aback that he
was speechless.

The following resolutions are pub

ter's Creek, Tenn, adopted Sabbath
night, Nov. 4:
E,Since we have had the pleasure
of listening to the lectures or doc
trinal discourses of the eminent
scholar and able linguist, Rev.
Jacob Ditzler, d. D., of Prospect,
KY, Therefore, be it
"Resolved, |. That we, as a church
session, do heartily endorse the series
of lectures delivered in our church, as
scriptural, logical and true history, and
in beautiful harmony with the teach.
ings of our own church and of the
whole Pedobaptist world.
"Resolved, 2. That we do most cheer
fully bear our testimony in behalf Of
DIR. Ditzler as a Christian gentleman,
too high minded to descend to anything
that would degrade the Christian name,
or lower the dignity of the Christian
ministry.
Resolved, 3. That we do most cor
daily recommend DR.. Ditzler to all
CONGREGATIONS of our church as we'll as
other communions, believing that his
series of lectures ON the church and its
ordinances, embracing the origin of the
church, infant baptism, the design and
mode of baptism, and the influence Of
the Holy Spirit in the work of CONVEX
sion, would be most conducive to the
spiritual upbuilding of the people in
the doctrines of the Word of God. We
believe it to be the duty of the ministry
and the official members of the church
to see that the people are instructed in
the teachings of the Bible, and that
they should have these great cardinal
truths Of our holy religion explained
and enforced by one whose ripe
scholarship aud long experience in
handling these truths so fully qualify
him for.
"Resolved, 4. That these resolutions
be published in the COLUMBIA HERALD"

"Affectation is the trouble which is

tiers. people seem to have got the
idea that it ia questionable to be
graceful. At nearly all dances now
you will see young men holding
their partners right hands up I'M

style as that was never taught in
any dancing academy in the cOun-

TO A FRIEND.

Thou art part of life to me,
Sweet friend of mine;
Loves faithful trust give thee,
My heart is thine!
met thee, dear, and loved thee well,
Fair guided soul!
And will, while life its woes shall tell
With ceaseless roll.
With aching breast I've gone to thee,
And knew thy heart
Would calmly soothe and bide with me,
So true thou art!
And when afar to loves abode
Our souls shall fly
Together may we tread that road,
Just thou and |.

The Modern Waltz.

Once year the dancing masters
meet in national convention and
solemnly decide how we shall dance.
Then they go back to thei" respec-
tive academies and spread the edict
with much serious intention. But
the dancing public, sad to relate,
goes on dancing just as the within OF
the hour dictates, and pays scant at
tention to the official utterances of
the professors.
At the recent gathering in Boston
the dancing masters paid their re-
spects to the waltz. Few will deny
that the waltz needed something of
the sort. AS you see it performed
now in public places it is fearfully
aud wonderfully executed. Not
long ago was one of the spectators
at the regular weekly hop in a sea-
shore botel. A nice gray haired old
lady, who confided to me that she
had not been in n ballroom before
for dozen years." furnished me
with a new standpoint from which
to view the modern dance.
"What are they doing now, pray?
Waltzing! l never should have
suspected it. If they were not ladies
and gentlemen, L might have
thought they were wrestling"
1t was rather severe criticism
but could almost agree with her
Her description of the waltz of to-
day was more accurate, as far as IL
applied to the American variety
than that of Lady Ancaster, who
stirred up fashionable London folks
by telling them that the waltz a:
they danced 1t had degenerated to q
graceless romp.
Scions of English nobility may
romp when they waltz, but over
here we certainly do not do any
thing that could be described in thai
manner. We may wrestle, jump

UNFINISHED LIVES.

There are no lives unfinished, incom-
plete,
God gives each man at birth some work
to do,
Some precious stone of strange, pris-
matte hue
To carve and polish, till it shall be meet
To place within His temple, still and
sweet.
Ere that be done the soul may not pass
through
The door to grander worlds, to aim
more true,
To wid/r life with loves sweet joys re-
,plete.
And if the working time be short, and
earth
With its dear human ties be hard to
leave,
Be sure that God, whose thought hath
given thee birth,
Still holds for thee the best thou canst
receive;
Be sure the soul in passing through
that door,
Though losing much, gains infinitely
more.
