GOODNESS IN THE PULPIT.
Probably Saved Congregation from
Panic and Disaster.


Already vastly popular with his con-
gregation, Rev. Arthur Wildwood Of
Brooklyn, raised himself still higher
In general estimation on a recent
Sunday, when his GOODNESS in the pres
ence of danger probably averted a
wild stampede from the Church of the
Incarnation. Although there were in
dications of impending disaster, the
people, acting upon his advice, filed
out of the church in an orderly man
ner to find a fire engine pouring water
into the cellar through a front win
dow. Shortly after IL o'clock smoke
began to pour up through the regis
tiers. The assistant pastor, Rev. Ar
thur Wildwood, went down to the cell
lar to see II the furnace was smoking.
He was alarmed to find the cellar full
OF smoke, so dense that he could not
go inside. He ran out and turned in
an alarm. Then he walked rapidly up
the aisle, and after whispering to the
officiating clergyman, said aloud: The
furnace seems to be smoking worse
than usual. l think the congregation
had better retire to allow us to open
the windows" The people, assured by
his calmness, retired in good order, but
became somewhat alarmed when they
saw the engines and flremen in the
street.

The Manchester Guardian, which
has the reputation of being one of the
best informed of English journals,
gives the world to understand that
John Bull is still doing business at
the same old stand, and proposes to
protect his patents and copyrights with
his accustomed intelligence and vigor.
All he demands now is that, If China
is hanged, drawn and quartered, he
shall have slice for every slice taken
by every other power. For example,
Germany grabs, then England grabs as

England takes a portion; France abb

Rational protests against legislative
invasions of personal liberty are never
untimely. The disposition to run to
the legislature for a law to cure evils
that are not to be cured in that way is
a growing thing In a vast majority
OF instances a law to cure an evil af-
fecting private persons causes graver
faults than it is intended to cure. II
is nonsense to say officials will never
take wrong advantage of unwarranted
authority placed in their hands. HUI
man nature has not changed in all
the centuries and men are as ready to
abuse or usurp authority now as at
any time in this worlds history.

The dogs in the United States kill
nearly 2 per cent of the sheep of the
country every year. They killed more
than 900 sheep in the year ending
June /, 1890, when the last statistics in
regard to the flocks were gathered.
The damage done by them is greater
than that from any other cause except
unexpected storms, in which whole
fiocks of sheep are killed, and disease.
In six states more damage was done
to the flocks of sheep by dogs than
by anything else. In Florida 1888
sheep were killed by dogs, and only
1850 by the weather and disease. The
number killed by dogs was about 8
per cent of the total number of sheep
in the state. The Florida sheep are
not exposed to such changes in tenn
perature as those on the farms in Ne
vada, where 12S,S50 died of cold and
disease. Only 1872 sheep were killed
by dogs in Nevada in the census year
The enormous number of deaths from
changes in the weather was due to
unprecedented storms, which caught
the Breeders unprepared and almost
halved their flocks. In South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and
Arkansas dogs do more damage to the
sheep than anything else, and more
than weather conditions and disease
combined. In Massachusetts,. Rhode
Island and Connecticut the number OF
deaths in the fiocks due to dogs is al
most the same as that due to disease
and the weather. The record is al
most as bad in all other states where
dogs and sheep are caught.

SOMETHING JAUNTY

A jaunty Jacket, worn by a we'll dressed
young woman still In her teens, was made

with short, full, rounded basques. The as
trakhan was cut away at the front to show
a yoke OF deep turquoise ottoman silk that
merged into vest. Turning away from
the yoke were square reyers OF the FUR
quoise silk that gave the effect of epau-
lettes.
The yoke and vest were trimmed with
narrow bands of the astrakhan The col
lar, tall, straight affair, of the silk, was
trimmed around with double bands OF the
astrakhan. Three large clasps Of cut Sill
yer with chain fastened the Jacket at the
front across the vest of silk. The narrow
center was of the turquoise ottoman.
This prevailing fashion of garnishing fur
Jackets with heavy qualities of silk or satin
has rather supplanted the velvet and plush
trimming that was so popular in the early
part of the season.
All OF the collets and wraps that make
any pretense OF being dressy boast some
trimming of lace or ribbon, and the rich et-
feet is greatly increased by the use OF
jeweled clasps or buttons.
These great clasps trim everything, and
women purchase them and treasure them
as though they were helrlooms, never to
be replaced. Nina Goodwin.
