The causes which predisposes to
bodily illness run through a series of
seasonal changes. Spring has its re-
laxations and languors, summer its
high heats and sudden damps, and the
autumn dies down with chills and
fevers. Winter brings more marked
exposures, especially as we pass from
hot rooms to cold ones, or from the
shelter of our house to the nipping
and eager airs or penetrating damps of
the outer world. To many the coming
in is quite as exposing as the going
out; and as a rule those who keep too
closely within doors are the most
liable to colds and stuffiness. In truth,
our rough and changeable northern
climate is not unfriendly to health and
yigor. All depends on our way of
taking It; on prudent self-adjustment
to the conditions, and especially on not
minding it too much. To those who
live in nature as a spider in his web,
"December's as pleasant as May"
Prof. C. Hanford Henderson counts
himself rich in the acquaintance of
"beautiful men, beautiful women and
beautiful children-beautiful and ac-
complished, lovable and Free" and he
pleases himself with the persuasion
that "the secret of their charm is that
1t has been gained, not at the price of
another's undoing, another's pain, an
others exclusion, but with all helpful
ness for their brother-man." Proba
bly, this holds true of the best persons
known to any of us. Is it not. as Ib-
sen says: the task of free ociety to
eunoble all the people?"

ALL THEY COULD HOPE FOR.

why the Good Dean Wished Mrs. Reiley
Was Hospitality Inclined.
As many people know, Dean Red
ding was man whose broad mind
had remarkably cheerful, not to say
hopeful, turn to it. His wife, on the
contrary, took things very seriously,
and had no small difficulty to accus-
toming herself TO the peculiarities of
her neighbors when, as not unfre-
quently happened, they differed more
or less markedly from her own.
On one OCCASION, shortly after the
dean had baen moved to 4 new parish
in the working district, the worthy
woman had been out calling among
the poorer parishiouers, and had found
them by no means more remarkable
for their lack of religion than for the
lack of ali cleanliness.

it affords are too we'll known to be
long lost sight of, and for school girls
there is no top coat that can we'll take
it's place. Beaver -colored cheviot
cloaking is the material here repre-
sented, the finish being strictly in
tailor style, with double rows of ma
chine stitching. Clear crystal buttons
are used in closing the double-breasted
fronts, which are loose fitting, but
under arm and side back cores with
curving centre seam render close
adjustment in sides and back. Stylish
coat laps are formed in centre and
backward turning plaits at the end OF
the side back seams just below the
waist line. The fronts are under
faced and reversed at the top to form
lapels. The neck is finished with
high storm collar, pointed strap
buttoned across the front holding it
close to the neck when raised for pro-
lection in inclement weather. Pockets
are inserted in the fronts and are
finished with stitched laps. The capes
are circular III shape and may be

Unrivalled For Elegance.

Colored costumes may be selected
with a view to becomingness and the
fashion of the moment, but street
toilet OF fine black cheviot or broad
cloth is unrivaled for elegance and re-
fnement of style. Black cheviot is
shown in the large engraving, united
with velvet (both of good quality, the
closing being made in centre front,
with tailor-covered buttons and but
tonholes. Simplicity and smartness
are equally combined in the basque,
the tailor made style being greatly re-
lieved by lapels, collar and cuffs of
velvet, that makes the finishing of
such garment easy of accomplish
ment.
The waist portion is rendered glove
fitting by double-bust darts, underarm
and sideback cores, the back portions
being of full length and ending in coat
laps below the waist-line. The cut
away basque portions fitted over the
hips by short single darts are joined
to the pointed lower outline of waist,
meeting the backs in deep coat laps
that are marked at the top by single
buttons. Above the closing the fronts
are reversed to form lapels that meet
the rolling collar in notches.s The
fashionable two-seamed sleeves are
fitted at the top by four short darts,
which may be omitted IN favor OF
pleats or gathers, if SO preferred.

THE SONG OF THE SAW.

The song is the shrek Of the strong that are
slain
The monarchs that people the woodlands of
Maine;
IT'S the cry Of a merciless war,
And 1t echoes by river, by lake, and by
stream,
Wherever saws scream or the bright axes
CLEAN.
And the song is the song of the saw.
Como stand in the gloom of this clamorous
Where giants groan past us a-drip from the
boom,
Borne here from the calm OF the forest and
hill,
Aghast at the thunderous roar of the mill,
at rumble Of pulley and grumbla of shaft
And the tumult and din OF the sawyer's rude
craft.
Stand here in the ebb of the riotous blast,
As the saws mighty carriage goes thunder
ing past,
One man at the lever and one at the dog,
The slaughter is bloodless and senseless the
Yet the anguish of death and the torment
Are quivering there in the long, awful yell,
That 'shrills above tumult of gearing and
wheel
meets steel
Scream! And board is laid bare for a
home,
Shrek! And timber for mansion and dome.
For the walls of a palace, or tolls homely
use
Is reft from the flanks of the PROSTATE King
Spruce,
And thus in the clamor of pulley and wheel.
In the plant OF the wood and the slash of
the steel,
Is wrought the undoing Of Names sturdy
lords
The martyrs that Nature yields up to our
swords.
Tho song is the knell OF these strong that
are slain.
The monarchs that people the woodlands of
Maine,
And the Fury that whirls by mechanical law,
With rioting teeth and Unsuitable nav,
Is the saw;
And this is the song of the saw.
