There was one book in this collection
of the papers of Jefferson which i'm.
pressed me particularly. Jefferson had
always been described as a free think

big, red morocco book, which he had
made himself, and which had stamped
upon it in gilt letters The Life of Jesus
Of Nazareth The reading matter, all

was made up of excerpts clipped from
all sorts of publications, including the
Bible, Of everything which bore on the
history of the Savior and his work. JEFF
ferson had gone laboriously over the
Bible, clipped out everything which
bore the remotest reference to the Saw
ior, and then arranged it in something
like sequence and pasted 1t in his book.
There were also clippings In Latin,
Greek. French, German and Italian.
Everything which carried the story of
the Savior, and especially anything Of
ancient date, no matter what language
1t appeared in, he had pasted in this
book.-Dan Quinn. in Ninsas City Star.

Goldbeaters' Tools and Cooks Caps q
They We're in Ancient Times,

In almost every kind of trade known
to man the years have brought mani
fold charges in the way of tools, i'm
proved machinery, advanced ideas as
to the manipulation of material and
numberless aids from the fields Of
science, the workshop of the chemist,
the inventor and the artist. But there
is one trade in which no advance has
been made and that is in the goldbeat-
ers trade. The same tools and the
same appliances are used now as in the
days when Solomon built his temple
and the art fiourished in ancient times.
When Tyre and Sidon ruled the seas,
when Carthage disputed with Rome the
supremacy of the world, the goldbeat-
ers of those days worked with the same
implements as those used nowadays.
1t is very singular thing that in all
this endless change, this rearranging
and shifting, the goldbeaters' trade
should still be conducted on its ancient
basis and stand primitive in relations
to the other trades and arts that have
progressed so steadily and Importantly.
Another curious feature of the trades is
the badge of the cooks cap. 1t is the
same cap nowadays as the cap worn

gales brains for Lucullus, Vitellius and
the Roman epicnres. The cooks of the
days of Shakespeare, of Charlemagne,
of all ancient time, wore the same
shaped headgear-the inevitable cooks
cap that the chef of fashionable mod.
ern hotel wears. The times change and
people change with them, but in this
labyrinthian moving and changing it
must be remembered that there still
exist two symbols sent down through
the ages as they were in the beginning,

WISE WORDS,

Behavior is mirror in which every
one displays his own image.
To rob it of love is the greatest
wrong that can be done child.
Every beginning is pleasant. The
threshold is the place of expectation.
The safest mode of acting is to en-
ploy ourselves with our nearest duty.
If the crow has creed. it is that all
birds are heretics that do not wear
black.
The greatest obligation of the
parent to the child is to give it safe
example.
No poetry would be written if birds
had to keep still and let frogs do all
the singing.
If you would be strong when adj
versity comes, be sure to pray while
prosperous.
What important it is to have a soul
which loves truth and receives it wher.
ever it finds it.
Misunderstanding and neglect cause
more mischief in this world thar even
malice and wickedness.
If you are only picket, try to be
as faithful to your trust as If you were
the commander OF an army.
There is vast difference between
being able to say prayers that sound
fine and having broken end contrite
heart.
From near at hand one must not
hope, but from afar. Let us trust in
God; each one in himself and in the
other, and SO it will be we'll.
The worst penalty of evil-doing is
to grow into likeness with the bad;
for each mans soul changes, accord
ing to the nature of his deeds, for bet
ter or for worse.
If you hear a bad story, make
short stop of yourself. Don't let it
pass you. The one who tells it will
no doubt tell it to others, and pass it
on. but don't let it pass you.
Never ask to be intrusted with your
friends secret, for, no matter how
faithfully you may keep it, you will
be liable in thousand contingencies
to the suspicion of having betrayed
it.
Meekness is not a weakness; it is
strength. Kindness, gentleness, meek
ness, give q man power in this very
self.possession. He is calm and quiet
in the midst of threatened disaster.

The Wolf in Europe,

One of the greatest terrors OF
Europe is the wolf. In Russia during
the last two years, according to official
sources, the wolves have devoured
1000 horses, 10000 horned cattle,
1000 sheep, 5000 swine, 1000 dogs
and $4,000 fowl. They have also
during the same period attacked
sixty-eight persons, devouring two on
the spot and inficting fatal wounds
on twelve others. In France it Is
estimated that 5000 of these ami
mails exist and the damage inflicted by
them is set down at about $4,000, 900
francs annually. A regular body of
men. numbering over 1000, called the
Louveterie, is maintained to keep
down wild beasts, and the force has
certain efficiency, but it is unequaled
to keeping the country clear of them.
From time to time high bounties for
wolf scalps have been paid, as much
as 200 francs in the case of q known
man eater, dreaded there as the man
eating tiger is in the Hindoo villages;
but the animal is never extirpated. In
some years his ravage is greater and
in others less, but he is always in evil
dence. In this country he has been
pretty we'll put down in the inhab-
itated parts. A few days ago pro-
diglous wolf drive was set on foot in
Atchison County, Kansas, five square
miles being covered and 700 persons
participating. They rounded up 200
jack rabbits, but not single wolf.
Considering his fierce and predatory
character abroad and his resistance to
all efforts to destroy him, the Ameri-
can animal must be set down as
rather u merltorious creature, easily
amenabie to extinction ald not 50
desperately destructive. even where it
continues to maintain foothold.

AS EASILY DRESSED AS A MAN.

We are constantly hearing women
express the belief that they would be
quite free from strain in the matter of
dress if they could always be as sure
OF the proper thing to wear as man.
With man, six o'clock means dress
suit or Tuxedo. As matter of fact,
a woman may be equally free from
doubt upon the subject. Ifshe chooses,
she can lay down safe law unto her
self. Six o'clock may always mean
evening dress to her, when she is GER
tain that she is not going to touch
shoulders with the public. She dis
eliminates between high and low
necked gown as a man between his
full dress suit and his Tuxedo. No
we'll dressed woman appears at the
theatre with her shoulders uncovered,
but she may put on low necked gown
for the most informal dinner at a
private house, privided the gown is
not too elaborate.
The fashion magazines have done
much to give erroneous ideas of the
manner in which New York women
dress upon certain occasions. The
we'll dressed woman in the city usually
confines herself to three we'll defined
lines of dress. These are the strictly
simple tailor made dress for morning
and street wear, the more extensively
trimmed gown for the theatre and
informal dinners, and the regulation
evening apparel. With four gowns
each winter, if she be in modest cir
cumstances, a woman may go any
where, and yet be sure that she is
always appropriately and becomingly
attired. She is the wise woman who,
putting all of her outlay upon these
four dresses, has them well and rightly
made, for she need give herself as
little concern about her clothes as
man.-The Puritan.

A Historic Drawing Board,

An engineer in the department of
docks, New York City, thinks that he
has discovered the old drawing. board
on which Ericsson drew the plans for
his famous monitor. The wood is
stained by age, and it is filed with
holes from the the thumb tacks that
have been driven into it. Ericsson was
enploye by the Delamater Iron Works
when he designed the monitor. The
company built q derrick for the city a
few years later, and at that time the
old drawing board was taken from
their office and placed in the derrick.
1t was kicked around curelessly for
several years, and finally landed in the
office of the dock department, where
it has seen much service.

THE CUBAN WOMEN PLTRIoTs.

The women of the better class in
Cuba are much more ardent in their

success of the cause, although her
husband may be indiffer emily support

young men have been driven into the
insurgent ranks by their sisters and
sweethearts. 1t is common thing
for an able.bodied young man to re-
ceive woman's chemise with sarcas-
tic note saying, "You should wear this
as long as you remain at home and re-
fuse to fight for Cuba libre."

The softest shades of tan are correct
for gloves now that we have SO much
color in our gowns.
The surplice effect, or any other
crossed-over model. is rather leading
the persistent little bolero, and in
some instances the surplice bodice has
long scarf ends of lace, falling from
the belt at the point where the waist
flstens.
Great favor is shown the double
warp cashmeres that SO closely resem-

are sewn on in eight places on the in

than half way down. By hooking the
end of the ribbon to the waist band
the skirt is caught up evenly and

Yelling with large dots is decidedly
passe, and all the latest novelties have

white dots fastening the nets together.

SHIRT WAISTS RETURN,

The shirt waist is back again. That
means happiness to every woman that
draws the breath of life. There is
nothing 10 the world that woman
dotes on more than the inevitable
shirt waist. Ask any one OF them
what she thinks of shirt waists. In
variably she will answer: "!Shirt
waists? Why. I live in them when
the season permits.
The new shirt waist for the ap-
preaching season has now reached the
height of perfection. 1t has taken
several seasons, however, OF expert
mentation to come to this crisis. The
new models are beautiful.
The sleeve and the collarl They
are the most important details OF the
shirt waist, and this season they are
going to be subjected to a new treat
ment. In the first place, that ugly,
loose bishop sleeve that dropped SO
forlorny all last summer is absolutely
dead and gone. In its place there
will be much more graceful and
stylish substitute. The new sleeve
looks like an old abbreviated leg of
mutton. 1t has modest amount of
fullness at the shoulder, and when
starched stands out about ten inches
from the arm.
Now for the cuff itself. The most
fashionable cut will be the square one,
made quite large and wide, and of the
same material as the shirt body. In
the golf waists, which are only slightly
modified designs of the tailored waist,
the cuff is built smaller and closes on
itself, fastening with button and
button hole. The link cuffs, however,
seem more chic and are far more CON
venient to adjust on account of the
extreme stiffness.
The new collar is not detachable as
it was last season. 1t is constructed
OF the same material as the goods, and
is the regular upright "choker." The
turn-down collar is quite passe. But
that does not constitute the whole of
the new collar. 1t is built with an
extension so to speak. A white linen
"tip" comes with it that folds over the
upper edge and is kind of flap that
adds a pretty finish to the whole.
These "tips" are made for the cuffs MS
we'll, and are adjustable in both cases.
They are kept in place by tape loops
which are put permanently on the in
ner side of both collar and cuffs.
The body of the waist differs but
slightly from last seasons design. The
shoulder yoke is still correct. The
backs, however, in many of them are
cut bias. as we'll as the front. Some
are cut cross-wise, but it is only the
slender woman who can affordto iuo Gle
