THE .cHILO's INHERITANCE.

How to IInrmOnize the Varying Char
acteristtcs.
There is NO nation in whom runs sc
much mixed blood as in the American
The English, or Saxon, is the stronger
and larger, but where that is found
even in small measure, it has been
proved, the world over, to take the lead.
Our American finds mingled with his
saxon blood that of many Municipalities
and these strains tell, SO that if he is
thoughtful he also finds somewhat of
u complication. There may be few
strains, there may be many, but the
influence is more or less positive. Let
any mother trace back for ten, or even
five, generations on her own or her
husbands side, and she will see what
is the inheritance of her child.
A broad : minded, N = sense
mother of disciplined imagination is
needed in order to harmonic the vary
ing characteristics and qualities, or to
regulate them, so that the composite
production shall be the best. There
is danger of knowing and thinking too
little of these things; there is danger
of knowing and thinking too much,
unless know!sdoa and intelligence IN
Creases. One cannot be steady and posi-
tive in teaching and training if one is
in personal doubt or mist.
1t is a great help and comfort in rec
ognizing the difficulties in the case to
know and be persuaded that the child
is Gods child. The Heavenly inherit
ance, in the earthly sense, is far great

and whatever national peculiHrities or
traits may be manifest because of the
earthly generation, the other inherit

and developing, in restraining and over

is the divine nature within, and if nur-

Governor Stephens letter to the st.
Louis democrats was a strong one and
meets with the hearty endorsement OF
the Missouri democracy. He states
that the boltocrats who attempted to
betray the party into the hands of I'M
scrupulous leaders, and who did all In
their power to elect Mckinley, and
who are now trying to get back into
the fold of the democratic party, should
be made to take a back seat and look
on while the men who stood by the
party through thick and thin manage
its affairs. His letter endorses every
word of the Chicago platform and
shows him to be a man loyal to demo-
cratic principles and worthy of the trust
the democratic party placed in him
when it elected him governor OF the
great state of Missouri.

FASHION ITEMS.
Notes on View Costumes for the Con
ing Season,

Notes on New Costumes for the COM
ing season.
Pale silver-gray MORE is very fash
ionnbly used for elegant Lenten cos
tunes.
Quaint little Normandy bonnets with
peaked crowns and shirred brims ac-
company many of the costly Lenten
gowns. The majority of them are
made of fabrics matching the costume,
and very often a tiny mouchoir muff is
added that is suspended from the neck
by u narrow ribbon or a tiny cord of
finest gold.
Many of the warp-printed summer
fabrics already displayed are far pref
tier n more delicate in effect thar the
deeply woven patterns. This process
appears as we'll on heavy as on very
diaphanous textiles, and the vague
shadowy designs are particularly beau
tiful on French organizes, batistes and
semi-transparent silks.
The new skirts are gagged, corded,
tucked, anticipated or laid in finer ac-
Gordon plaits. They are considerably
less flaring without losing any hing of
their attractive cachet, and are much

seasons. Some of the new skirts are
shirred on the hips alone, the back plain
and full, the front forming an apron
that is trimmed down each side.
Trimmed skirts will be very much in
evidence among forthcoming gowns
both for day and evening wear, but not
TO the exclusion of the plain, elegant,
undecorated models so long favored,
and still preferred by many of fashions
leaders.
The possession of half a dozen pretty
slip waists of net, chiffon, fancy taffeta
silk, or satin affords the wearer any
number Of beautiful changes of the
toilet at comparatively small expense
as IL yards of black satin or moire
will make the effective background for
all CT these various changes, this num-
Der OF yards being all that is required
for a gracefully gored skirt, a bolero
jacket or a deep or narrow girdle, as
best suits h wearer.
Black gowns gain in favor for evening
wear, and one can hardly lavish too
much jet garniture upon them, especial
ly on the bodice and sleeves. Accordion
black mousselaine de sole, silk
etamine, net, tulle and other diaphan-
Gus textiles are highly popular, made
over watered silk and black crepe de
chine. black taffeta silk trimmed with
of velvet ribbon or jet-a very old
style revived-are all noted mong the
evening toilets worn. Black
India crepe over MORE is made up with
very effective and elegant embroidery
Of cut jet and French b%rilliants laid
over velvet ribbon-a style less garish

,erise satin are oddly and strikingly
used upon black velvet, satin and tran
black toilets. Any number of
