TO BUILD A TEMPLE.
Theosophists to Select Site at Some
Point in California.

Theosophists to Select q Site at Some
Point in California
A college for the revival of the lost
mysteries of antiquity, such as has not
been in existence for more than 1000
years, is to be built in California. This
state has been chosen because the
theosophists, and, in fact, all occultists
generally, believe that it is the cradle
of the coming race. The funds for the
erection Of the temple have been sub
scribed. Such an institution was the
cherished wish Of Nine. Blavatsky, and
it will be the only institution Of the
kind in the modern world. The col
lege will be open to all, without charge.
Next March several leading theosophists
who are touring the world will arrive
here and select site for the college
and dedicate it. They are called the
CRUSADERS" and are leading the theo-
sophists who started from New York
on June 13 to make a tour of the world
teaching theosophy and brotherhood.
They are: Mrs. X. A. Tingley. who is
at present the leader of the theosophists
and the successor of Nine. Blavatshy;
Mr.. Judge, Mr.. E. T. Hargrave, presi-
dent of the Iheosophical Society of
America; Mr.. and Mrs. Claude Falls
Wright, n. Patterson and +. Pierce.
These were joined on their tour of the
world by Mrs. Alice Cieather, wife of
Col. Cleather, of the British army, and
Rev. Mr.. Williams, of England.

GERMANY'S NEW ARTILLERY.
Finished Long Since. But Kept In 6us
pense Waiting for France.

Finished Long Since, But Kept In sus-
pense Waiting for France.
Preparations are being made for sup
plying the German army with the new
artillery, finished long since, but kept
in suspense, since it is Germany's in
terest not to take the first step, but to
wait until France has made a COM
nencement. Germany had already,
years ago, laid down system of new
cannon to be introduced if one chief Eu-
ropean power should adopt quick firing
artillery.
All preparations, upon large scale,
had been made, before the emperor Wis
tied Krupp's works at Essen last Oc-
tober, SO that Germany is now able to
commence Immediately and finish with
in the strictly assigned time the whole
manufacture Of new artillery, and, in
deed, to even overtake France in the
production.
During the last five years France has
repeatedly endeavored by false state
ments in the press to induce Germany
to accelerate the matter in order to
profit from the German experiments.
Those statements all proved false, and
had the sole consequence that German
military authorities watched this ques-
ton with special attention. It Is
learned on the highest authority that
the imperial government will shortly
lay before the reichstag an additional
budget demanding over 2oo,oo0,0oO
marks for the introduction Of quick
firing artillery in the army.

SUPERSTITION AND INSURANCE.
some Curious Views Taken Of the Matter
from Religious Motives.


from Religious Motives.
When life insurance was first intro
duced some persons looked upon it as
violation of divine law, which prohibit
ed any proposition to make compensa-
ton for passing away to eternal rest.
In defiance of the will and act of the
Supreme Being. 1t was thought to raise
TIL. presumption that the policy writer
could control life as he did personal
3ties, and the impression existed that I
contract was to be entered into to buy
them life for monetary considera-
tion. This superstition yet exists
among some people, illustrated as fol-
lows: An aged colored pastor once con-
suited IN insurance agent upon obtain
iug policy upon his life. He made in
quiry if there was not some other way
by which he could secure an inheritance
for his family, for, he said, as God had
given him his life he had come to the
conclusion that it would be violation
Of religion to intrust it to corpora
ton that had no soul, and it seemed
like tempting Providence to enter
into contract with a corporation ON
mere speculation.
s Possibly this pious man was under
the impression that he was on a straight
transit route to Heaven and possessed
means TO enter its gates, which might
be prevented by an impious act such
as be declared would be the acceptance
of a policy on his life written by human
hands. He did not place any respect on
the indemnity promised. but said that
he was confident that his reward in fu-
ture life could not be granted by any
man Or association. It Is not intended
to be understood that such thesis is now
prevalent in civilized communities, for
those who neglect to make provision for
those dependent on them after pass
ing away commit as great a sin as the |
pious minister apprehended he would |
have been guilty of had he accepted q
policy on his lifa-Views.

TRIMMINGS FOR SKIRTS.
How They May BE Used to Advantage IN
RemodefnC.

How They May BE Used to Advantage IN
Remodeling.
In making over an old gown the
present fashion of trimming skirts will
be found most useful. A skirt almos.
invariably shrinks from seasons wea,
and after 1t is taken apart and sponged
it is sure to measure too short by sever.
al inches.
In remaling a skirt never 1engthen
at the waist, Such proceeding will spoil
the hang of it quicker than anything
else.
When plain skirts were worn it wis
impossible to 1engthen a skirt withou.
unsightly piecing. Now, however, tha
bottom of the skirt may be pieced and
then trimmed to conceal the piecing.
For a street gown braid is the best
trimming. Hercules or sortache braid
is favored and should be put on in two
or four row clusters. II the weaver i.
short, two rows as near the foot as pcs.
sible is best. A yodhg girl may have
the braid sewed in q Grecian border
around her skirt If her gown ends at the
ankle.
: Skirts intended for indoor wear are
prettily trimmed with ruches, with
may be Of silk or of drese material. II
of silk. frayed edges save time and give
an additional touch of beauty. The
ruches may be put on close around the
foot or len inches up. A band of fur
sometimes replaces the ruche. II
should, however, be Of good quality to
wear well and is, therefore, way above
the heads of ordinary mortals.-Chi

Maria Barberi Goes to the Help Of q
Woman Being Burned Alive.

The mantle OF heroine has fallen on
the shoulders of Maria Barberi. With
other women she fearlessIy rushed to
neighbor who was burning on a bal
cony.
Although menaced herself by the
flames, Maria helped to beat out the fire
with her own hands and then wrapped
blanket about the body Of the burned
woman.
Ever since the jury declared her guilt

has lived with her parents On the sec
ond floor Of the big brick tenement at
No. 21s Bowery, New York city. On the
fourth floor the family of John Hogan,
a printer, find their home. Hogan was
absent the other evening, when his wife
started to prepare the lamps. In ELL
ing the lamp, some of the oil dropped
on her clothing, and while she was en-
gagged at the kitchen stove her apron
caught fire. She dashed wildly about
crying for help. The children ran
screaming from the room, and their
cries, as well as those of the burning
woman, alarmed the tenants.
Maria Barberi, seated in the little sit
ting-room on the second floor, was
among the first to hear the cries. She
grabbed blanket from the bed and ran
upstairs. Reaching the top floor she
was confronted by a crowd of panic
stricken tenants.
Mrs. Hogan had been out on a bal
cony. and was running up and down, a
pillar Of fame, when Maria, with the
blanket about her shoulders, clambered
out to her. Maria tossed the blanket
over the woman. and with her own
hands tore away some of the burning
clothing. 1t was not, however, until
nearly all of Mrs. Hogan's clothing was

extinguished. Her body was fright
