Defyine His Bishop.

The most extraordinary story comes
from Norfolk, which seems to show
that clerical domination is resisted in
unexpected quarters. The facts are
these: The bishop of Norwich. attend
ing the usual confirmation at Corles-
ton, noticed lighted candles on the
altar, and asked the vicar to remove
them He fatty declined, alleging that
he had perfect right to do what he
liked in the matter in his own church.
The bishop then tried the church
wardens and babe them remove the
lights They declined, however, and
declared themselves on the side of the
vicar. This gentleman then took a
very bold step, for, taking out his
watch, he gave the bishop just one
minute in which to decide what to do.
Finally, the bishop, for the sake of
peace, gave way, and while continuing
the service, contented himself by re-
fusing to join in the subsequent process
sion. We do not know whether the
law is on the side of the vicar or the
bishop, but in any case the wears ultl-
matum seems to have been enforced
too theatrically to make it aught but
offensive. Surely better method
could have been found of teaching the
bishop to 'Fknow his place."-West-
minister Gazette.

uow Eurs VIII he Worn.

This season one has fine opportun-
ity of using advantageously all the furs
new and old, in ones wardrobe. for the
fashion of combining two kinds of fur
on one garment, added to the fact that
many furs formerly out of style are
again in high favor, makes it an easy
matter for the maid who has kept these
valuable accessories of winter toilet in
some place where moths did not COR
rupt. These may be gathered together,
sent to fashionable furrier and re-
turned completely metamorphosed into
wraps both beautiful and useful.
Persian lamb, chinchilla, sable, seal
skin and moutilon, which is light gray
in color, are the most fashionable furs,
but all the cheaper varieties seem to
have their uses. Chinchilla is COM
bined with seal this season and short
capes of sable are used over longer ones
of seal. The fur boleros will be a use
full fashion for those who have a small
amount of fur to be transformed into a
fashionable garment. These are very
becoming to slight figures ana very
stylish with wide revers. The new fur
coats are rather short, not so full in
the basque as they were last season
and have loose fronts.

trimmed with two rows of black GAL

short Turkish jacket. A deeper touch
of color is given by collar, waistband,
and puffs at the wrist of old blue vel

the waist, and is put on over the vel
vet.

and laced together under the arms with
black satin ribbon. Velvet bodices in
light colors are pretty for those who
can affsrd them; but very little velvet
can be made to answer the purpose,
since the fronts are usually of lace or
chiffon over silk. A plain black and
bolero front of velvet is pretty with
either velvet or lace sleeves, which
have a velvet puff at the top, and col
lar band of gold and jeweled embroid-
cry, with a frill of white satin ribbon
inside, is pretty finish. The ribbon is
two and a half or three inches wide.
arranged very narrow in front, plated
wide and full at the back, so that 1t
falls over in shells, with the lace gath
cred inside. Waists which harmonize
with the skirt rather than contrast
with it are the rule this season, and,
while two or three colors are often
combined in one bodice, the predomi-
mating tint must either match the skirt
or show lighter or darker shade of
the same color.

A Man Modiste's Wisdom.

A man modiste has at last supplied
the bit of wisdom which it seems to
have been impossible for women to ar
rive at unaided, Women who are not
able to have separate gown for every
conceivable occasion usually make a
desperate failure in attempting to
make half a dozen gowns fit fifty oc-
casions. The art of adaptation is not
theirs.
Here, however, are the pearls OF wis
dom which the celebrated man dress
maker has advanced: Buy only what
you need. Make every garment serve
definite end. Do not try to make a
taior-made gown do for small dinners,
with the addition of silk waist. Have
no hybrid dresses. Let them stand for
what they are. Have as few as you
can at time, and wear each we'll out.
Do not harbor old things about the
house. Do not save your clothes. Get
the use of them while they are in style.
Buy fewer things but have them good.
Eschew the meretricious cheap!"
All of which is very practical and
true and quite sure not to be followed
in the slightest degree by nine-tenths
of the women who read it.-New York

For Slender Women.

Columns of conflicting advice have
been written from time to time for the
benefit of women who wish to get thin.
and, as it is not enough for the woman
who desires to put on little extra
flesh to draw her conclusions from the
reverse side of the fieshy womans in
structions, she is coming in for a good
ly share of counsel, too, which is all
excellent in way, but the regime of
exercise and diet which is advised for
perfect development from the standard
Of too much or too little flesh is usu-
ally an absorbing process which leaves
very little time for other things, and

If she has the courage to attempt it at
all. The simple recipe, Eat vegetables
and plenty of butter, drink milk, sweet
vine and stout, take codliyer oil, go to
bed early, sleep a little during each
lay, and laugh as much as possible, "
will often help the thin woman i'm
mensely. Cream may be substituted
for the cod-liver oil, if preferred.

his weather predictions in Storms ant
Signs gives the following "Words O
Warning for this month:
The Atlantic coast will be storm
swept.
Pestilence and famine will SWEEP
thousands away to death in the Old
Country.
The eastern and middle states will
be storm swept this month unless the
electrical currents ground and give us
an earthquake instead.
The fever epidemice will still con
tinue and increase in virulence.
Two new forms Of disease microbes
will make their appearance, the blood
tappers and the flesh eaters. The
bloodtappers will get into the throat
or stomach and tap the blood veins,
causing hemorrhage. And the flesh
eaters will consume the flesh. They
will attack both man and beast.
Some beautiful sunsets will occur
between the 5th and 2oth.
Another meteor is headed toward
the earth and will cause an earth
shock or quake wherever it happens
to fall, on the land or on the sea.
The moon will be close to the
bright shining star Venus on the 9th
inst close to red warrior Mars on
the IA, and very near the big planet
Jupiter on the 2Ist Watch for these
interesting exhibitions.

ease or in run down condition avoid
