Curves in Roads Deceiving.

The difference in length between q
straight road and one which is slightly
curved is less than one would i'm.
,gine. Says Sganzin: eff road be-
tween two places ten miles part
we're made to curve so that tho eye
could see no farther than q quarter of
mile of it at once, its length would
exceed that of perfectly straight
road between the same points by only
100 yards" Even if the distance
around hill be much greater, it is
often more economical to construct it
that way than to go over and necessi-
tate the expenditure of large amounts
of money in reducing the grade, or
waste of much valuable time and
energy in transporting goods that
way. Gillespie says that, as q gen.
eral rule, the horizontal length of
road may be advantageously increased
to avoid an ascent by Mt least twenty
times the perpendicular height which
is thus to be avoided-that is, to escape
u hill 100 feet high, it would be pro-
per for the road to make such cir
cult as would increase its length 1000
feet" The mathematical axiom that
"a straight line is the shortest dis
tance between two points" is not
therefore the best rule to follow in
laying out n road; better is the pro.
verb that "the longest way round is
the shortest way home"

employed are of the handsomest.
The Innings alone are made of fabrics
that were formerly deemed quite
beautiful enough for handsome
evening gown. The fur and lace used
for trimming must needs be OF the
rarest description.
There is no question but that the
wraps this winter are to be every whit
as costly as those of the last few
years. The designs have been sent
over to this county, and women who
have been abroad buying their winter
wardrobes have sent over accounts of
the new wraps that have just been
designed over there. The present
fad is to have at least one long black
satin wrap. This, at first sight,
would seem to be most economical

Costumes For Everyday Wear.


Two useful gowns are shown in the
large illustrations. One is q brown
tweed with an absolutely plain skirt.
The blouse waist is tucked and the
wide collar and faring cuffs are
finished with stitched braid. A stock
and long-ended cravat of cream silk
complete the costume. With it is
worn jaunty brown felt hat, which
is ornamented with brown quills and
velvet.
The other frock is designed little
more elaborately and has the strap
trimming which has become so popular
for this season, particularly for out-of-
door wear. The straps of black braid
trim the pointed tunic and is seen on
the circular hounce of the jupe proper.
The material is rough blue serge and
the vest is cream silk tucked, with
revers of lemon ,colored cloth orna-
mented by a fancy braid of blue, red,
cream and silver threads and set oifby
tiny black buttons. The revers and
slashed jacket are of the same material
as the skirt and are braided to corre-
spond. A broad -brimm ed rough straw,
blue and white, is loaded with berries,
leaves and rosettes of black tulle.

compelled by necessity to be a partner
in the matrimonial concern; but let
the husband of one of these women riss
gradually or suddenly into large means
and wide business interests and you
will see her little by little accustom
herself to coddling, in the form of SER
wants and luxuries. She is no longer
compelled to find ways and means,
while her husband takes pride in turn

stroys the healthy partnership of for
mer days, without offering her COM

"Here," with an awful oath from
outside, 'get move on you" to the
cashier. "We're onto you and the
stuff Hand it over, or by"
A grating creak broke into the
threat; two despairing yells went up
from the throats of the robbers; re.
volver shot crashed and echoed, and
down tumbled two dark forms where
the floor had given way beneath their
feet.
"Quick, Ashby!" and the boy felt
the butt of revolver thrust into his
hand; "run to the basement door and

Ten minutes later two sullen pris-
oners were being led away to Jail in

both had come in on the passenger
train that brought the currency ship

operator at the depot was gone-he

Ashby Grantham's revolver shots were
heard, he had run diagonally across
the street to where three horses were
hitched. Mounting one of them, he
had ridden away into the storm to the
north.
But he was promptly followed, cap
tured and his completely duly proved.
Eventually the three criminals re-

A Diamond In tho Rough.

Feminine diplomacy always rises to
the demands OF self interest.
"What do you think of my brother
Harry?" said one pretty miss to an
other. as they sailed down Woodward
on car going sixteen miles an hour.
"Oh, he's nice sort of boy" was
the sage reply from the girl who will
not come out for year or two. "Sort
of rough, though"
"That's just it. You know Willie
Jones comes over to see me some
times. Well, as true as I'm telling
you, we never get minute to our
selves. That horrid Harry hangs
around and talks about baseball and
yachts and gong swimming and all
that kind of stuff, till he drives me
crazy"
"Why don't You tell your mamma?"
Indeed, do tell her, but she says
I'm silly, and then Harry calls me
'spooney. But was thinking that
if he was interested in some real nice
girl, he might get some sentiment into
him and not be so boisterous or so
eternally bent on making me and my
company miserable"
81 see what you're driving at. But
he's not quite my style. He's so loose
aud awkward, don't you know, and
sort of caokles when he talks. But L
suppose he'd improve"
"Of course he would. He's really
jewel if you know how to handle
him. He likes to be made good
deal of, and then he's so used to me,
don't you know If he was some
other girls brother / could look after
him, and he has lots OF pocket money,
too"
"Well, darling" with a grown-up
sigh, "I'll try. Bring him over, but
don't you ever dare to lint " hat you've
said to me-"
They kissed gushingly as they
parted, and Harry may know all about
it, sometime. Detroit Free Press.

these trimmed coverts are almost the

Evidently womankind is not yet
prepared to resign the comfort of the
short, lose-fitting fur jacket, for it is
easy to count them by the dozen in
the furriers' cupboards, while they
are being snapped up over the coun-

as they are termed by the trade, were

LESSON THOUGHTS.
Missionaries we may well believe, do
not generally enter upon their work
led by a desire for personal gratifics-
tion; but more frequently in the face
of personal liking, constrained by n
sense of Gods call and obedient to his
command. Jonah was submissive and
obedient to his second call. but we can
hardly suppose he was desirous to 90
to Ninevch.
Jonah did not expect TO please the
NineVites with his message; and no
modern missionary may expect to-
please men while acting as the servant
of God. But however disagreeable II
may be to the human heart. he is To
preach the preaching that God bida
him.
SELECTIONS.
, a greater than Jonah has warned M
of a destruction. a wrath to come, N
damnation of hell worm that never
dies, fire that is never qusnched. The
destruction that is before the impeni-
tent sinner now is an everlasting de-
structlon from the presence OF the
Lord; not the brief pang OF physical
death. nor a short shudder at annihi-
cry. without the alienation of hope;-
an endless despair. -. And IL is
made more terrible by the fact that
not even forty days are assured to any
one.
There is no question as to whether
or not missions are binding upon
Christians. Missionary effort is as
much an obligation as baptism or the
Lords Supper. Christ gave very few
detailed instructions for the guidance
of his church He left her policy To be
shaped by the Holy Spirit. But one
definite instruction he did give, ana
that his last as the risen Savior, Go
ye therefore, and make disciples of all
nations."-W. Dickie.

Handkerchiefs in colors are in great
demand, and some of the prettiest and
newest are in silk and linen. The
plaids are to be found in these new
styles, pretty soft plaids, the whole
handkerchief composed OF them, but
in the most delicate colors, one having
violet predominating and another
green, and so on. A pretty handker-
chief in which there is large proper
tion of silk Is of solid green stripes,
which does not sound well, but is ex-
ceedingly pretty in reality. Red is
found in these plaids in stripes, and
also in handkerchiefs with narrow
hemstitched edges, the hem being of
the solid color embroidered with tiny
dots. All shades are to be found in
these little colored hens. Another
variety of the handkerchief with the
solid red hem has red dots worked in
side on the white linen, or tiny red
bow knots in the corners.
