AS the season advances and genuine
summer heat makes itself felt, the
white gown takes precedence of all

Cloth, pique, India silk, mousseline,

being purely personal one.
The thin, diaphanous materials natu-
rally call for lace frills and RIBBON,
while the heavier stuffs allow for great

the total absence of color which gives
them their peculiar charm and makes
such gowns cool in appearance, as weh

Two young women, sisters, lived with
their widowed mother in small coun-
try place. There had been some at
tempt at burglary, and not few
tramps around. So one day the sisters
decided that they would not leave their
silver in the dining-room, but remove
it upstairs. They got large clothes
basket and heaped it full of the heavy
silver. By their united efforts they
tugged it to the top Of the stairs, when
the elder sister stopped the other.
"Where are you trying to take it?' she
asked. why, to your room, OF course,
my DEAR replied the younger sister.
Not by any MEANS replied the elder;
"we will take it in your ROOM" Il
guess not" said the younger; Il would
rather lose it than have it there" The
result was that they left it at the top
of the stairs, in handy form for the
BURGLARS to examine it without incon-
venience and carry off all that he want
ed of it. The next day they took it
back to the dining-room, neither max.
ing any comment; and there is staid in
future, as it always had.-Outlook.

Stubborn Jurors.

''It is funny how stubborn some
jurors are" remarked member of the
panel that tried the men accused of
numbering Little Pete. Some men
will get an idea into their heads, and
you can't beat it out with club.
Now, on this jury the other day ma.
jority wanted to acquit the defendants
because there wasn't much evidence
against them. I was of the opinian
myself that there wasn't enough evil
dence to warrant a conviction, but I
didn't want to get set and stubborn
on any one idea, so I considered the
matter. Finally it occurred to me that
the lawyers that defended the prison.

PREDICTION AND WARNING.
What 1t Means to Start for the Y ukop
Country Without PreDa ratiOn

Country Without Preparation.
Here is a prediction. Should the rush
to the Yukon country continue, should
the multitudes, or any considerable por-
tion of the multitudes now striving
and pressing to get off to that region
succeed. there will be tragedy during
the coming winter the like Of which
never has been known in America.
Do men realize that they are starting
for the Arctic regions? That the sum-
mer is already well advanced, and that
winter will set in there by the time they
reach their destination? That winter
in those hyperborean regions lasts
from October to May? That the tenn
perature falls so low that cold performs
the effect of fire? That without ade
quate protection against the climate
and abundant food all life will d:sap-
pear? Do men who have always been
accustomed to mild climates realize
W hat it is to winter al the Arctic circle?
Life there is possible during the win
ter only as careful preparation is made
tosupportit. Food, clothing and shelter
are indispensable. Exposure there is
no tritie. as in our mild climates. Ex-
posure there means sure and sudden
| death. Along the Alaskan and British
| Columbian coast the climate, tempered

gold fields lie in vast river basin be-
| hind a high mountain range, at great
| distance from the coast, and very far

ranges, where rugged trails furnish the
only lines of passage, is so slow, costly
and difficult that scarcity of supplies is
inevitable If large numbers succeed i'll
getting over the mountain ranges into
the basin of the Yukon, accessible with
difficulty in summer and not at all ac
ccssible in winter, it may be set down
as certain that the greater proportion
will perish.

is a fact that must be taken into ac

known to the world since Napoleon

A convenient form of ribbon belt, that
is always ready to be put on without
any pinning or tying, is made of two
lengths of ribbon laid in folds. The rib
bons cross on each side and form a
point in the front and back. To make
this belt, take three whalebones five
inches long, and two lengths of rib
bon, each little lower than the waist
measure. Sew one whalebone across
the middle of each ribbon forming the
back of the girdle. Cross the ribbons
where they would come to the sides
when around the waist, and sew whale
bones to each end, forming point in
front like that of the back. Sew four
hooks and eyes on the front whale
bones, and the belt is ready to put on al
moments notice. Narrow ribbon
should be put on to hide the bones in
front and back.-San Francisco Chron

"You have my best wishes- Come,

So they strolled away to order their
horses, and May Talbot threw off the
afghan, to stand before her mirror, and
cnce more compare her little, crooked
figure with the thought of other wom'
ems symmetry.
But into the blue eyes had come a
radiance that made the whole face joy
Gus. Over the sweet, sensitive lips
hovered a smile born of love and such
happiness as her life had never known
before, For she loved her knight we'll,
this fair maiden who would not accept
his pity. To have been his wife, doubt
lag his motive in seeking her, to have
thought every tender word a duty
wrung from his remorse, would have
teen torture. To be his wife because he
loved her, had won her love, was such
happiness that the truth made her
dizzy, and she sank into a deep s.rm-
chair, sobbing for pure joy.

But she made no explanation. She
met him in the evening promenade,
when, leaning upon her stepfather's S
arm, she slowly walked on the beach.
Her smile, her soft words of welcome,
invited him to remain beside her, and
soon he was alone with her, the older
gentleman pleading fatigue.
They were alone, though hundreds

she said:

all his love in his eyes, as he looked into

But he never knew that she had heard

No Confidence in the Guru.

1t is not safe to trust utterly the
guidance of the Hindu fancy, or to put
great reliance upon intellects which are
50 little troubled by contradictions
and absurdities. Of course there are
notable exceptions in such careful
scholars as DR.. Bhandarkar, of Poona.
| may tell right here brief story which
throws light on some of these things.
The late Ramkrishna Paramahamsa was
called by one Of his disciples in talk
ing with me in Calcutta 1.-The greatest
man of the nineteenth century," He
is believed by some to have greatly in
fluenced Keshub Chunder Sen. He was
the religious teacher, the guru, Of Wv
elananda. Max Muller dubs him "a
true Mahatma" The learned Oxford
professor told me that he asked Wv
ehananda if Ramkrishna knew Sans
krit. The answer at first was evasive,
hut finally he said: when Ramkrishna
was in the jungle as an ascetic, beau
tiful woman came down from Heaven
and taught him the language" Max
Muller's very natural reply was: "Non'
sense. The only way to learn Sanskrit is
to get a grammar and dictionary ano

Some Articles That Should BE Al

The woman who does all or even part
of her own cooking should keep her pam

not alone with ordinary wet and dry
groceries, but with little aids to rice
cookery.
The saying of the old preacher: "Ah,
my brethren, if our foresight were only
equal to our hindsight how muck
trouble might be saved us!" might be
echoed by the housekeeper when she
has to send a gray, unattractive-look-
ing gravy to the table, because there is
no Drowned flour with which to thicken
it and no time to brown any; or when
she must serve a tasteless stew instead
of a savory ragout, because she does
not discover until the last moment that
there are no sweet herbs in the house.
Such provisions are not expensive,
and there is no reason why every good
housekeeper should not have a store Of
them in the house. In many cases she
can prepare them herself. An occa.
sional rainy day will give her an oppor-
tunity to provide a stock that will last
| her for several weeks and even longer.
Forethought should have been exer-
cised in laying aside ingredients tc

glass jar, with a closelyfitting cover.
The flour may be Drowned this day
too, stirring it from time to time that il

from the kitchen to the adjoining rooms

Principals Train and Way. The class adj
journed Immediately after the adoption of
the resolutions, which We're as follows:
whereas, the recent death of Miss Alice

our public school teachers, has cut short
useful life, has terminated course OF
service in the cause of education marked
by singular devotedness and patient toll,
and has removed from our midst, one,
whose sweetness and gentleness of dispo-
sition and sincerity and purity of life en-
deared her to all by whom she was known.
Therefore, be it

voted and successful teacher, and our
selves a worthy colaborer, and an esteem

her just and gentle, yet firm. rule, so po-
tent for good in the school room, will
exert itself upon the lives and characters
of her pupils for years to come, while
the remembrance of her virtues will slim
ulate us to better service.
Resolved, That we tender the family of
our deceased friend cur sincere sympathy
in this hour of their bereavement and
sorrow.
