The latter hung full over the face and down
nearly TO the knees, a coquettish piece of
nothing, to hide the bushes of fair maid.
A white shawl. with a woven border Of
roses and buds was one of her belongings,
and the same fair maid carried an embroid-
cred bag, and wore wide collars with fine
embroidery and lace insertion every stitch
of which was made by her own fingers. The
collars and bag belonging to Mrs. Winches-
ter are examples of the needlewoman's art,
and so is the lace sampler, which has en-
broidered in delicate threads the date 1926
Among the literary relics is an old Scotch
Bible with the psalms, appointed to be sung
in the kinks, printed in the back. The date
of this book is 1895. Ralph Erskine's Cos
pei sonnets" of 1852 is a rare book ard so
is Oliver Goldsmith's History of Rome"
published in NO. Jerusalem Delivered"
by Tasso and translated by John Hoole, in
1863, is valuable and the Letters by Pope
Clement XVI" with the date 1777 in three
volumes, are rare. Senator Turpie, who is
a connoisieur in old volumes, said that he
had heard Of but never had seen the books
until he was shown them by Mrs. Winches-
ter. ''Aikens Letters" of 1885, is another
old book. One of the most amusing hoe ks
to this generation is "a new geographical,
historical and commercial grammar and
pl esent state of the kingdoms of the
world, published in London In 1898. The
maps of this country are almost blanks be-
yond the original colonies. Another odd
book is "A complete system of husbandry
and gardening, or. the gentlemans COM
panion in the business and pleasure of a

large books, with covers almost gone 10y

ut is hypocritical to claim peace with
God when we are all tricked out with par
aphernalia Of the devil.
Put yourself in his place is a motto
that salaried sect preachers seldom think
Of.
1--WE are told that contentment comes
with goodness, for we brought nothing into
this world and can carry nothing out of it,
and, having food and raiment, let us there
fore be content
The modern preacher is not at all con-
tent with food and raiment. He must have
the cart wheels jingling in his pockets, too
and the almighty dollar is his gcd.
THE preacher breaches to a congregation
of believers, the same people, Sunday after
Sunday, for the most part. Christ said, /
sinners to repentance. The modern preach
er therefore does not fulfill the commands
nor example of our Lord. He does not go
out in the highways and byways TO carry
the gospel to sinners.
Again, If there enters your assembly a
man with a gold ring and goodly apparel
and there comes also man in vile raiment,
and you have respect for him that weareth
the gay clothing and say unto him Sit here
in good place. and unto the poor, Stand
thou there or Sit thou uEder my footstool,'
are you not therefore partial in yourselves
are ye competent judges?
we are specially warned against being
respecters of persons. Observe in the fash
ionabe churches how the shabbily dressed
man or woman Is treated How every hand
goes out to the Shylock and how the poor
are overlooked.
Hence / claim we have no churches nor
preachers, for the so-called preachers are
parasites that feed on the frightened ones
and suck the life blood out of honest toll
who preach the beauties of poverty to the
impoverished and then with sophistry ex-
tol the splendor and generosity of their lazy
and wealthy masters. And the so-called
Christian church OF to-day is the greatest
and most influential foe Of humanitys on

Tea Is Harmless.


The death of a man in New York the
other day as the result of excessive tea
drinking recalled to Philadelphia phy-
stefan a controversy that caused much con-
sternation in England few years ago. 1t
was started by the assertion in a medical
journal that tea drinking made the teeth
decay and was likely to produce a cancer
Gus condition The subject was taken UP
also by American newspapers, but as it
was generally ridiculed the discussion had
nothing like the effect here that it had in
England, where it was treated with the
utmost seriousness. The physician referred
to said yesterday: THE English are the
most confirmed tea drinkers in the world
and when it was seriously asserted that
indulgence in the beverage not only de-
stroyed the teeth but rendered the drinker
liable to contract cancerous disease,
everybody in England became greatly
alarmed. AS a matter of fact however.
the whole proposition is manifestly absurd
Tea has no effect on the teeth at all, nor
can it develop cancerous conditions Ex-
cessive drinking of strong tea is, of course,
injurious, as excuses OF every kind must
be. 1t overSimulates the heart and may
have a fatal result when the drinker' S
nerves are naturally weak. Ordinarily how
ever, the beverage is harmless"

Numberless anecdotes are related of the
eccentricities and characteristic acts of
Rev. Lorenzo Dow, the famous itinerant
Methodist preacher. Mr.. Collins relates
that when he was a widower, he said to the
congregation one day at the close of his
sermon:
Il am candidate for matrimony; and If
there is any woman in this audience who Is
willing to marry me, l would thank her to
RISE.
A woman rose very near the pulpit, and
another In distant part of the house Mr.
Dow paused a moment, then said: There
are two; l think this one near me rose
wife"
This woman was in good standing and
possessed of considerable property. Very
soon after this eccentric wooing she be-
came Mrs Dow.

Senators Allen, Wilson md GaIlinger
Denounce the Act.
Washington, March 24.--The senate
INDUCED in an almost one-sided dcnun-
citation of the civil service law and it's
administration The matter came up in
the shape of a resolution offered by
Senator Allen (pop., Keb.), directing
the committee on civil service to in
quire into the dismissal of some half
dozen employees (microscopists) OF the
bureau of animal industry in South
Omaha, Neb His assertion was that
the dismissals were for political rem
sons. Senator Gallinger (rep., N. H.)
did not favor the proposed investiga-
fion because itwould bring out SO many
hundred other like grievances, and Sem
ator Hoar (rep., Mass.) objected to it on
the same grounds-saying that such
uerculean task should not be thrown
OH any committee at this special ses-
sion. The civil service law, as admins
tered, was characterized by Senator
Gallinger as "a monumental humbug."
He favored plotting out the law, andre
turning to condition of things that
would give every man and woman On
equal right to hold office with every
other man and woman"
This declaration of principle was APP
plauded by the galleries, and the gal
leries were appropriately lectured by
the vice president on that breach Of
propriety. Various instances OF alb
surdities in civil service examinations
were furnished by senators-Senator
Gallinger mentioning the requirement
of would-be compositors in the govern
ment printing office that they should
hop IL times on one foot; Senator Will
son (rep,. Wash.) saying that civil serv-
ice examinations had been ordered in
his state for cook in the penitentiary
