Fur Trimmings.

According to French authorities, fu1 is 'tas good as anything else with which to trim gowns this year One might add "as costly also.'' French gowns are being festooned more lavishly and adorned with moro rich furs than those on this side of the ocean. Here VIC have lines of sable and edges of mink and fox and chinchilla In Paris entire ruffles and epaulets, sleeves and revers are of fur, and this for gowns, not street jack cts or mantles.
 One of these furry creations is Boc- caeoio bodice, the vest of sea1slzin hay ing jabot revers of the fur. The bodice proper is of silver gray cloth. The skirt, of silver gray, is adorned with three deep, full rui1les of tho fur, one around the hips, another at the line of the knees and third it's own width from the bot tom of the skirt A gown of black vel vet has pointed vest epaulets and a basque of chinehilla, while froek of bluo velvet has revers of ohinohilla. Sealskin is much used in Paris this sea- son, although seen here infrequently. It is combined usually with sable, astra- khan, ermine and chinchilla.

Opposition to the oversl.irt.

Like tho gowns of the past summer, the cold weather frocks will show elab- orately trimmed skirts, and strong suggestion of the double or over skirt has found it's way to some of the newest and handsornest creations for both house and street wear This effect is, how ever, brought about by trimming of some kind employed so as to give tho desired effect without the additional weight of an oyerdress formed of drap- ed material. Sensible women will fight against and positively refuse to wei come the return of the old time over skirt, with it's loops and bouffantly draped effects, which once were the cause of aching hips and tired backs, to say nothing of the oxtravagant measure of materials used in their complicated construction.

Women as Jnrors.

At Boise City, Ida, women have re- gently served on q jury. As it is the first time they have done so in that state the experiment has excited considerable in- terest. The press correspondents have made the most of the opportunity. That sense of justice which is possessed by the majority of correspondents compels them to say that in the end substan- tial justice was rendered tho litigants, p and that brief sentence tells the whole story. The women jurors were a sue cess.
 The San Jose (Cal) Daily Mercury says:
 Judge Belcher of the San Francisco superior court gives as his opinion that women would make as good jurors as men, except possibly in cases arousing their sex sympathy, and even ill that connection ho is not sure that they would not do better than the average jury of men. The history of trial courts, he asserts, shows that men jurors are prone to render verdiets in accordance with their sympathies In "a certain class of cases, i'll which women arc the de- fendants, it is almost impossible to con- yict, however conclusive Do the eyi- denco of their guilt. ,
 The judge says:
 In criminal cases you can scarcely get jury made up of men to convict Q woman unless the woman happens to be notorious, habitual criminal. This, l regret to say, has been my experience and the experience of many other trial judges. Here especially the value of wo- men jurors would be demonstrated. They would nut. am satisfied, be so swayed by sentiment as to render yer dict contrary t9 the testimony I most certainly favor placing women on juries on equal terms with male jurors and shall always giyo effect to my opinion by voting for woman suffrage"
 The women jurors of Idaho have made a good beginning. They have demonstrated that they know what substantial justice" is. = Woman's Journal.

share of attention. For example. in tho most recent American textbooks on children, by Holt, 89 pages arc devoted to these subjects. The artificial feeding of infants is study in itself of no small proportion, and marked advance ment has been made While the moth- CT milk is tue most acceptable diet for the infant, there arc many mothers who cannot nurse their offspring. To such we can now give most favorable prog nosis as to the outcome of artificial feeding, thus doing away largely with the unspealIabla wet nurse. The child has the right to demand the mothers milk, and when this cannot bo furnish ed him it must be our object to give him as accurate substitute as possible.
 The analysis of the milk of many thousands of mothers of healthy infants has established a standard We know what the constituents of an average milk should be. We also know the con stituents of cows milk Mothers milk and cows milk differ ill important de- tails, but COW s milk, with tho addition of water, cream and milk sugar, can be made to conform very closely to that of the mother; hence the torm modified milk" We thus have a working plan. The cows milk, tho cream, milk sugar and water cannot be mixed i'll tho same proportion for all, but must be varied to suit the individual peculiaritios of the patient in question Charles Gil moro Keeley, NJ.

The New Fipnra.

What with its low bust and it's straight fronted corset the thew fig6re" is a revelation to those who view it for the first time. It so completely lSnocks the props from all tho standards thatfor years have been all dominant upon such subjects. \ number of new figures are to be seen upon the street now. At first they had to put up with much staring. Now they may be said to pass unno- tieed. In drawing rooms and i'll all oth- CT precincts compassed by those mys- terious words going out" the new fig ure is 10 longer a novelty. All the up to date gowns are constructed according to it's principles, and as going out" is chiefly indulged in by women given to new gowns it is the new figure alto gether. The dressmakers endeavor to make tho innovation acceptable by dub- ping it French '' Itremains to be seen whether even this bid for favor will in- suro long lived popularity for the fashion. The chances are that it will not, and for the simple and sufficient reason that it is too ugly.
 As yet the new figure has not appear ed in the smaller cities to any great OK tent. The few times that 1t has done so it has been because some provincial has seen fit to get her frock in New York The effect of these few new figures up on the susceptible provincial mind can well be imagined. In many cases, until fully explained, the pioneer has been looked upon as having become suddenly deformed physically. "It'sa straitjack- ct or plaster coat, more than one set of village gossips have declared, "and you needn't tell me that sho hasn't bro- ken her ribs or twisted her spine, or something dreadful is the reason she's had to put it on. Nobody ever looked like that that wasn't physically deform ed In every instance it has been most difficult to convince those unfamiliar with the new figure that it is not due to physical, but mental deformity.

The Economic Condition of Women.


 The address before the Suffrage asso- citation recently of Mrs. Charlotte Per- l1ins Stetson on the Economic Basis of the Woman Question" was we'll req soned, says the Boston Transcript. Mrs. Stetson's declaration that wife should be economically independent of her hus- band has an original sound, but in prac- tical life thousands and thousands of American women who 'do their own work, |" in eolloquia1 phrase, are wont Go consider that they contribute an inn portant economic fraction in the support of 0 genuine home. Women of inherited incomes and women who earn money ill the various professions, trades and crafts now open to them, often contribute money instead of work to the support of the homo.
 Mrs. Stetson's s plan of increased wage earning for wives and moro care of chil- dren in child gardens is scarcely as lad vanced' as at first glance it may seem. The most radical and really advanced students of child culture arc approach ing nearer to tho simplicities of nature in regard to the care and teaching of little children. They are in consequence putting infinitely moro conscious re- sponsibility for the children's rearing upon parents, both fathers and mothers. The ancient Athenian idea of the rear ing of children by the state is not in the modern Athens highest creed of child culture.
 Mrs. Stetson's saying that it is too much nowadays to expect man to pro vide for his wife and family is good economics to the extent that it is good morals. Granted that 1t is improper to marry for a living, either for woman or man, 1t is equally bad economics for either to fail ir contributing in the making of genuine home, in money or in work, according to worldly condition, in addition to the various virtues ex- pected of both.

Sims Harvest.

The wild oats sowing may be forgiven or repented of, but many man has been cured by the inevitable harvest o1 ruined health, impaired vitality, shat tered ambitions Many man sees daily the revelation of his sin in tho ghastly reproduction of a sons career. Hell is on both sides of tho tomb. Sow to siu and reap destruction. Sow to righteous ness and reap righteousness Rev. ". T. Irwin, Presby terian, Chicago.

The Greatest Books.

There are certain books which no man can read without being larger and wiser and better man. Tho greatest books are those which do not need any thing outside of themselves for their in. terpretation. They are the books which live on and on without any reference to the time in which they were written. They arc written at any time for all time. -Dr. John Paul Egbert, Presby- ferian. St Panl.

stanslard of ERightoousness.

We should measure ourselves by the standard of righteousness set by the Saviour, and the difference between our lives and his is the measure of our shortcoming before God. All fall short of the standard now, but by persever- anco men shall some day rise to the fullness of the stature of manhood shown in Jesus Christ.-Dr, E. W. Brickert, Christian Church, Washing. ton, Ind.

Leading Motive In All Reform.

Tho great work of tho Christian re- ligion is to save men now from tho com mission of sin-save us now because God loves us If he finds us in Q sinful state, be comes not to judge, but to point better way. This is tho leading motive in all reform movements. From love to God we bind up the wounds of our fellowa. If wo realized this more fully, there would be no room for con. tentions about theological ideas and nc time lost in preparing papers on matters which cannot Dc proved, but rest simply on opinion. -J. J. Cornell, Society of Friends, Baltimore.

Where God reigns there is heaven. Heaven is not local place away beyond the stars. Heaven is not Q place with four square walls, with God on throne as Q personal being God is,eyerywhere, and heaven may be in every heart. The kingdom of God is within you. That is Christ's teaching, and that is the truth. -J. J. Cornell, Society of Friends, Bal. timnrn

Power of Faith.

Faith enlarges the mind, strengthens tho will, purifes the heart, lifts man up to new worlds, and If we justly praise and glorify modern scientific progress because it enlarges our knowl- edge of tho material universe how much more should wa praise and glori- fly faith which not only makes us cer- tain of this life, but of the life to come.

An Accountable Road.

The public road leading west from
Abbeville is in a terrible condition in
the. stretch between Camille Sellers and
the coulee at the old Lozin Toups
place. Here there are three yawning
ehasms from which nothing can extri-
cate itself. So much complaint has
been made of the great inconvenience
to travel, as persons in order to reach
AbDeyille are compelled to pass around
by way of Mrs. Jos. T.. .Guidry IS place,
thus lengthening the distance nearly
six miles, that we have looked into
the matter and find that it is the Police
Jury and not the road overseer who is
10 blame. In the proceedings Of tue
September session Ct the Police jury
we read:
HGustave TrahaD road overseer,h av-
ing made complaint against Messrs.
Jones and others for damages caused
tue public roads in 9th ward by their
draining their rice fields on said roads
The committee having considered said
matter instructed said road overseer to
notify said parties to repair said public
roads, and place them in the same con-
dition as they were before said dam
age"
Mr.. Jones was notified and appeared
before the Police Jury, asking for time
to repair the road. Time, indefinite
time was granted and the road still re-
mains in a terrible fix.

st. Medard's Second Round.

According to tradition among the
Creole's if it rains on the feast of st.
Medard, (June 8th) it will be certain
to rain for the next forty days. At the
expiration of this time if it should rain
the next day, then the rain will con
tinue forty days longer. The forty
days were up this year on July 18th,
when we had a regular flood. It rained
again the day following and has kept
up with scarcely any omission. This
is too much of a good thing for every
body except the sugar cane farmers
They will take all they can get, but
the cotton planter feels blue.

Some Queer Corn.

Early this spring the editor planted
in bis little garden, some prehistoric
corn,n which we are told originated
from some kernels found in an earthen
Jar in an Indian mound. The grains
were of medium size, long and slender.
somewhat like the old fashined "shoe
peg CORN of dusky brown color, and
slightly shrtveled appearance. 1t grew
off vigorously and yielded %prolifcailg,
having three or four large ears to the
stalk. In an evil hour the cook wand
ering around in the garden III quest OF
something to grace the Editors dinner
table, spied this choice corn and Sue
promptly pulled enough to make u
nice roasting ear soup, and forthwith
prepared it for the noon meal. When
the tired and hungry editor sat down
before the smoking tureen the saVory
orders escaping Whetted his keen appe-
tite to a razor edge. He eagerly swal-
lowed a spoonful of soup and detecting
a peculiar taste, started on another.
Great snakesl but it was bitter.
Thinking that our liver was out OF
order and left a bad taste in u mouth
we asked one of the Youngsters to try
some. He reported it as bitter as qui-
nine. The soup was thick and ropy
as tho made of okra. Now why this
bitter tasteg Even the calves would
not eat the green cobs as they do Of
other corn.
