vine Man has arisen from the pains Of
death out into the glory of day. From
his ashes he comes to revive the hamo
of spiritual love and TO raise the stand
ard of virtue among men. women and
children.
The soul of man is the shining spirit
of creation. Out of the centuries his
worl, reveals today spiritual heatitude
which is all accessible to us, and behold
we come today to worship and to re-
joice. and our lifted voices are lyrical
and sweet and as spontaneous rs the
winds that rise, and rising carry the
seeds Of knowledge of an Eternal One
into regions and streams we never see.
We are animated by desire to gather
Easter flowers of all colors to lay at the
foot Of the temple, and from the bean
teous form and color of the blossolning
trees and plants we learn the ethics Of
life. SChopenhauer, Germany's pessi
mistic philosopher, has told us that the
mission of ethics is to promote the hap
pincss of man, and certainly, beyond
shadow Of doubt, planning and buying
clothes make men and women mutually
happy.
The fundamental principle of ethical
dressing is taste. Some women possess
an instructive sense of taste. On the
other hand, some women are wise to
trust tc the judgment of their dress
maker, whose moral obligation to socie-
ty is that she be seeress capable of
discerning ut a glance the characteris
tics of her patron and bringing her ont
looking like a goddess
The wonderful subtlctv that exists
between woman and her clothes is much
feature of individual temperament
A woman should assimilate her clothes
so that they become a part Of herself
The dressmaker cannot do everything
for her. 1t remains with the individual
to create successful appearance. No
matter what one wears it loses all
charm if she is careless about her car
riage and walk. In fact, personal ee
gance in carriage rs well as charm of
manner Is to ones attire what the leaf
on the stem of a fine red rose is to the
rose
There is a woman physician in Paris
who has created Il revolution by invent
ing rational corset and they say that
four or Eve of the best dressed women
on the stage who set the world : fash
ions have adopted it. Any innovation
that is at once improving to the figure
and promotes the comfort of women is
adopted by fashionable society.
What is more beautiful than woman
wrapped in garments that conceal her
defects and render her charms more
beautiful and thereby perpetual JOY to
all who behold her? The same garments
make or rlnmake our pleasures and sor-
rows. The highest compliment we can
pay to lovers or husbands is to please
the eye 10y Icing beautiful in beautiful
clothes and by looking happy and gen
tie and leaving all sharpness and acridity
of temper within the walls Of our bou-
doirs and then, too we should not al
low shortsighted selfshness to slip in to
mar the warm, generous impulses that
spring from the heart TO the lips.

The person who cannot read all the

corraged. The bookseller" recently
published some figures which ought to
make him feel reconciled to his fate
and make him realize that other peo-
rie, however, persistent readers they
may be, are equally unable to keep W
with the output of the publishing
houses. 1t will doubtless surprise the
book lovers of this country to learn
that neither this country nor England
stands at the head of the book making
nations. In the absence Of available
statistics it would be very hard to con-
vince an American or Englishman that
neither of these countries excel in this
respect
But as a matter of fact the returns
place Germany, France and Italy ahead
Of the English speaking nations IN

easy task as might be supposed to get

Comma Currency Legislation.

The currency bill upon which the
has agreed after months of delibera-
ton will be presented early in the COM
ing session and deserves to secure Il
prompt passage. 1t follows closely the
recommendations of President McKin-
Icy. and is a simple and explicit affair.
1t does not aim at the establishment of
any new system of currency, but mere
ly strengthens the present one by re-
affirming the gold standard. 1t makes
the gold dollar the one standard ana
unit Of value in law as well as in fact.
Sound money men all over the country
warmly approve of the bill. IL Is "a"
uncquivOcal fulGllment of the promises
made by the Republican party ana y
meets the silver issue in manner that
admits of no evasion There is no at
tempt To pIacate the silverites, and
they will doubtless rant their Widest
at the bill which puts the gold stan
dard beyond all questions as the single
standard of value. and provides ample
means for maintaining it under all
conditions.
concise summary Of the provisions
of the bill is thus made by the Wash
inpton correspondent of the Boston
Journal: All United States bonds.
greenbacks and treasury notes are
made payable in gold coin. and all pub
lie and private obligations are to be
conformable to that standard. Notes
which are redeemed in gold are to be
paid out only for gold. and gold re-
serve is created. amounting to one
fourth of the outstanding greenbacks
and treasury notes to be kept for the
redemption Of such notes. For the
further guarantee of the maintenance
of the gold standard. the secretary OF
the treasury is empowered by the bill,
payable in gold. Armed with this
authority, there will never be any
question of the ability of the secretary
of the treasury to meet all demands
which may be made for gold in eX-
change for other forms of money. Dis
cretionary authority is also given the
secretary to pay gold for standard sill
Yer dollars. if necessary to maintain
parity of all forms Of money.
The banking provisions of the bill
are simple Banks are to be allowed TO
issue notes to the full par value Of the
bonds which they deposit for security
y tax is imposed on capital, profits
and surplus instead of on circulation.
and the capitalization required Of
banks is 50 graded that banks with not
less than $50, 600 capital may be organ
lied in places of from two to six thou
sand inhabitants, and banks with
canitaI Of not less than $4,000 may be
organized in places with population
of not more than two thousand in
habitants.

A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.

The first Indication Of Group Is
hoarseness. and in a child subject to
that disease it may be taken as a sure
sign of the approach of an attack.
Following this hoarsencss is a peculiar
rough cough. If Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is given as soon as the child
becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough appears, it will prevent
the attack. 1t is used in many thou
