equally between Muhlenburg College,
Allentown, and the Theological semin-
airy, Philadelphia, for the enlargement
of their educational work and the pay

The Bradley Martin ball, everybody
knows what that was and where it
was held, created a deep interest in
religious circles in this city and es-
pecially in the Episcopal church. In
speaking about Rev. Dr. Rainsford's s
fpmous invective against the big func-
ton, one Episcopal minister in this
city disclosed the not generally known
fact that DR.. RainsfOrd spoke to his
own people, that the Bradley Martin
family are among his parishioners, and
hence he was attacking the very foun-
dation material that supported him.
This is, however not the first time
that the reverend gentleman has fear
lessly stood in antagonism to the fol-
bles of the people to whom he breaches.
For this quality he is among the most
esteemed men in the American Epis-
copal church.

POLITICAL SELECTIONS.



The shades of night were falling fast
AS through his native village passed
A man with saddened eyes, and dim,
With this sign fastened onto him:
"Klondike."
His eye, like phosphorescent spark,
Glowed like a cats eye in the dark;
His cheeks afiame with inward fire.
AS muttered he his one desire:
"klondike."
All fleeced and woolly was his coat
From off sheep or bllygCGt:
A coonskin cap was on his head
He hurried on and only said:
''Klondike."
A spade to dig the golden sand
He carried in his strong right hand;
His left a ten-quart pail did hold.
In which to bring his dust of gold
From Klondike.
Beside him trotted as he went
A humble dog with sorrow bent;
Foreseeing fate from selfish man,
In omens of the frying pan,
In Klondike,
1.-THE Chilkat Pass" the old man said.
rs over yonder-up ahead"
The solemn miner. somewhat vexed,
Said: Let 'er pass; make it next.
Fer Klondike."
'Oh, stay" the maiden said, land rest
Thy weary head upon this breast"
Go tor he cried; thy love will trust
The fellow who brings back the dust
From Klondike."
Beware the price of garden truck:
Beware the ni;nble, gay Canuckr
This was the farmers last goodnight;
And take the first road to the right
For Klendihe."
A man was found to neck IN snow,
And hauled out by an EsquimauX,
All solid, rigid, stiff, and dead,
His idea frozen in his head
Klondike.
On Yukons bank at break of day,
Lifeless but well preserved he lay,
While DER his head in solid ice
They carved this simple, plain device:
"Klondike!"

IN REGARD TO EATING.

Fried bananas are very good. Slice
them lengthwise, fry to a crisp brown
in butter and sprinkle with powdered
sugar. Lemon waters may be served
with them.
The y rays are now used in Queen
Victoria's kitchen as an instant and
lnfallible finder of stray fish-bones,
plum-stones, etc. which may have ac-
cidentally got into the royal food. The
ray lifts a great weight of responsible
ity from the cooks head.
All pies should be eaten the same day
they are baked. To prevent a soggy
crust in lemon or custard pies drop the
white of an egg on the crust after it
has been placed in the tin, wash the
crust around with the egg and then
pour it out.
In England the consumption of tea
amounts to five and three-quarter
pounds year for each. person, chill

the excessive drinking of tea is what
ruins the Englishwoman's beauty, as it
has tendency to make the tip of the
nose red.

ARMY STATIONERY.
A Comparison of the Issue of War
Times and That of To-day.


Times and That of To-day.
Within the memory of good many
officers of the army, the stationery al
lowance for company and regimental
purposes, was. entirely inadequate, and
great economy was necessarily prac-
ticed. When communication came by
mail from some superior source dur
ing this time, the unused part of the
paper, if any, and often the envelope in
which it came, was carefully preserved
for routine Office work in making de-
tails, drafting letteSs, issuing orders,
etc.
Ink powder was provided instead of
ink, and sand in boxes accompanied it
for blotting purposes. Waters and
boxes to hold them were furnished, and
a few long feathered Clarified" quilts
for making pens, We're doled out each
quarter. A few sheets of buff-colored
paper for the manufacture of envelopes,
and stick of sealing-wax, completed
the issue.
Later, the war department made con-
cessions, regarded as very liberal at
the time, and authorized the issue of 10
steel pens and one penholder in lieu of
n bunch of quilts, and 100 envelopes in
lieu of a quire of envelope paper.
The present issue is very liberal and
the economy of former days is no longer
ecessary.-Military Gazette. Chicago

have yet seen, and very much trimmed,
crossing over the front and closing at
the left under a frilling of chiffon or
lace jabot.
A singularly smart gown was gray
mohair, worn by Mrs. Morris X. Jesup.
1t was draped over a skirt of red and
gray shot silk and had three panels of
silk widening at the bottom. From the
waist came a succession of perpendicu-
lar tucks, which were repeated on the
shoulders of the full bodice. The belt
had a large silver buckle at the back,
while lace epaulettes made a graceful
bodice trimming.
Mrs. Burton Harrison wore an orig
inal and very becoming combination of
maure cloth with rounded yoke of sky
blue glace. Bands of ecru lace over the
blue silk were carried round the arm
holes and yoke, and appeared again on
the sash and at the hem of the skirt.
A capital dress was of black China
crepe, with the skirt rather full on the
hips. The bodice was trimmed with Jet
and Chantilly insertion. There were
long tight sleeves, with frills on the
shoulders of black chiffon edged with a
frilling of white lace. This ornamental
ton was repeated at the neck and hem,
six ruches surrounding the skirt, each
with its white edging. A large white
hat was worn, with white plumes.
A handsome young married woman
from Philadelphia wore delcately
pretty dress of green nuns yelling,
which is, perhaps, of all materials for
day wear, the favorite just at present
1t was made up over green and blue
shot silk, which came glittering
through. 1t had been woven with
border of green, blue and thread of
gold, and this was used to edge the
basque and in wide bands on the skirt.
The dark blue straw hat worn with this
gown was trimmed with blue succory
and foliage.
Some of the best of the new autumn
tailor dresses are sported by young
women who have not forgotten how to
walk since they learned the wheel.
Curious as 1t may seem. there are girls
who are capable yet of tramps among
the Berkshires. One of these seeming
ly misguided creatures wears n blue
and ecru frock of the small shepherds
plaid that promises 10 be the one thing
every woman will think she must have
this autumn. The skirt of this dress
is rather full, but with all the bulk be-
hind. A band of cream-colored cloth
runs down each side from the waist
and is strapped with tabs of blue and
gold braid. The bodice is a smart
casaque, or basque jacket. belted with
blue ribbon and edged all the way
around with cream cloth and blue and
gold braid. 1t opens on blouse of
cream-colored chiffon. There are tight
sleeves starting from under fiat epau-
lcttes. and brown stray hat set off
with mass of cornfowers is worn.
Another dress that has been seen one
or two bright mornings is of mignon-
ette-colored cheviot, with scrolls of
gold braid disposed in a new fashion on
the waist, the designs increasing in size
and completely from the waist down.
Similar decorations sprawl over the
tight-ftting basqued coat, which turns
back in white MORE revers over blouse
of white silk. The coat has a trim belt
with Q gold buckle and tight coat

Ienox, Mass.-Almost from time i'm
memorial there have been golden rod
dinners at Lenox to usher in the au-
tumn. Some of the prettiest of these
entertainments have taken place this
season at the golf clubhouses, where
woodbine, climbing over the broad
porches and slowly turning from green
TO crimson, adds to the brilliancy of
every occasion. Recently a tea was
served on the heels of an afternoon on
the links and attended, by many who
never yet have succumbed to the fas-
cinations of the game. The large, low
reception room of the clubhouse was
hung with scarlet bittersweet berries
and trailing vines of the wild white Gle
mats. Sheafs of feathery golden rod
filled the wide od-fashioned fireplace,
while huge vases of blue succory and
deep red cardinal flowers stood in every
nook and corner. Broad yellow ribbons
Topped back the curtains, and the place
was filed with the soft, brilliant hues
of September. The guests wore flowers
in profusion. as is the seasons pleas
ant fashion, and the younger ones had
decked themselves with jeweled belt
buckles in the shape of bicycles, or golf
or tennis or yacht club pins, according
to their individual bents; for everybody
at Lenox has one fad in athletics, if not
a choice assortment.
There was a great deal of blue in the
women's dresses and great amount of
cream and brown. Some of the frocks
were corded on the hips. after style
that promises to be much in vogue this
autumn. These skirts were gathered
into the waist and arranged, in most
cases, with hem trimmings. Other
gowns had guipure laid round the foot
of the skirt or about the hips. The
bodices were more intricate than we

sleeves, iIndisguised by epaulettes or
other shoulder pieces. With this out
! fit appears a green straw hat with
sprays of goldenrod and towering white
plumes.
No longer is it beneath the athletic
girls dignity to have special gown for
croquet. A young relative of Mrs. Pot
ter Palmer wears on the lawn a dress of
fine soft silver gray w3ol cut to show off
a fine figure to the best advantage. The
somewhat narrow skirt is admirably
hung. Its only trimming is a deep V of
gold braid starting on the hips. The
point is in the middle of the front and
less than a foot above the hem. The
bodice has a snug tailor fit and is
adorned with gold braid coming to
point at the waist line. There is mar
row pointed vest of green crepe. The
coat sleeves are uncompromising. With
white belt and white sailor hat band
ed with gold a slim figure could not
display itself more eXcellently. It is
the great charm of croquet dress that
it is purely personal; it does not need
to bear any relation to the game.
At pretty wedding recently in an
ivy-grown church a younger sister of
the bride wore a most effective between
seasons toilette of blue silk striped with
silver and figured with roses in a Louis
XIV. design. The skirt was edged with
narrow ruffles of the same material. 1t
opened on the left to let in panel of
pink silk muslin laid in "sun ray"
plaitings. Pink velvet rosettes, set be-
low the hip, partly closed the opening
The blouse of white China crepe was
made with round yoke of ecru gui-
pure. The low bolero and the sleeves
were of lace also. Silk epaulettes fin
islled the shoulders. A toque was worn,
covered with roses.

A reception costume worthy OF atJenr
ton was worn in Mrs. Burton Harr-
sons honor few days ago. 1t was of
green and pink striped silk with
grouped flounces; two sets near the bot
tom of the skirt and one below the
hips. The bodice was double-breasted
pouch, of green silk turned over with
broad lapels of guipure. 1t was belted
with green velvet and had coat sleeves
with epaulettes composed of loops of
green velvet ribbon.
