SOME sTyCERE PRE1 CHING.

Preachers are often charged nowadays with preaching what they don't believe, but it is sometimes evident, even to the | wayfaring man, that they do believe what they say. For instance, there will
 be no doubt about the sincerity of the
 Rev. J. w. Sutor of Winchester, Massa- chusetts, in his remarks concerning the
 playing of golf on Sunday. MT. Sutor,
 besides being the rector of Epiphany
 church in Winchester, is also president of the Winchester Golf club. Tn ser- | mon he said: I am perfectly well aware that the easiest way to settle the ques- tion, and the way many people would like to have a minister of the gospel adopt, is to say that it is wicked to play golf on Sunday. This is a Puri- which is not possible to my thought and faith and statement which does not appear to be true. It appears to me in- controvertibe that no absolute distinc tion can be established between various forms of out ut-door-eXerciee and recrea-
 tion for Sunday, when the question is individually considered. There is no diff ference between taking a walk in the fields, ride on the wheel or behind horse; paddle on the lake or nine holes on the links. Out-of-door life is le- gitimate item in a wise and holy use of the day of days, and for those whose out-of-door exercise and recreation are limited to Sunday, it is an item deserv
 ing of most serious and sympathetic consideration. The man whose only chance for free play in Gods air and sunshine is on Sunday is helping to make that day different from other days when he uses some part of this day for the upllft of his life.
 Many of those who play or think they play golf will consider this defense of Sunday golf-playing perfect and unan- swerable Some who don't play golf will say that 1t isn't wicked for any body to do such a solemn and gloomy act on Sunday as to walk the links, oc~ casionally stopping to hit or try to hit a ball. Still others will say that golf is no game anyway, and therefore it isn't wicked to do what it's devotees call playing it on Sunday.

grapes have suffered severely through indictment weather. The vines bearing these grapes do not produce "contre- bourgeons, and in consequence the first growth having been destroyed there is no hope whatever of fruit for the autumn In Epernay, the center of the champagne country, the damage done is considerable, but not so great as in many less known localities. In Paris the certainty of a bad vintage has caus- ed a great demand to spring up for wines of previous years, in which brisk speculation is being done. The wine statistics for the champagne district for the year from April 1898, to April, 1899, show fall of 700, 900 in the number of bottles exported. On the other hand, the consumption in France has increas- ed over 2,500,0 900 bottles The total num- Der of bottles disposed of during the year was 27, ,397, 996. The stock the grow CTS have in hand amounts to 06,371, ,755 bottles, together with 413,053 hectoliters of wine in casks.
 This state of things will perhaps be good for California champagne.

fl GREAT MIRK-DOWN.

Miss Lesbia M. Bostwick of New York sued Count Malta Lierven Steingranat of Sweden for S50,OOO for breach of promise and the jury brought in yer dict of $45.S6 for the plaintiff.
 Forty-five dollars and eighty-six cents the value of womans love? Why, this is worse than Shirt Waists II cents; former price 29 cents" And a jury of men too! What are we coming to? They might at least have made it an even forty-six dollars, or if they couldn't cohscientiously have done that, why couldn't they say $4599? It is too much, and also too little. The only crumb of comfort we can see in the shocking affair is that a count will have to pay a little something for the love of an American princess. Usually a count charges big price for allowing himself to be loved by a United States girl. Doubtless Count Malta Lierven Stein- granat of Sweden will begrudge even the $45.S6 which he must pay Miss Bostwlck, but what a bargain!

COLLIES ON A CALIFORNIA
 RANCH.

Nothing in my whole western trip in- terested me more," said distinguished traveler the other day, than the work I saw done on a large sheep ranch in California by half-a-dozen or more col lies. According to my host, each one of them saved him a good seventy-tiVe dol- lars per month in wages, did his work far better than any two men could do it, while his board would not average a tenth of what it would cost to keep a man. The ranch which l visited eX- tended over thousands of acres, while my friend enclosed ill his corral each night no fewer than ten thousand sheep. The corral is simply a large enclosure surrounded by a solid, high brick wall Into this the sheep are driven at night to protect them from the wolves, which, in California, would make short work of flocks left out in the open plain or in- securely housed,
 Arriving at the ranch just at night fall had the opportunity of seeing the dogs conduct their various flocks into the fold and expressed great surprise at their wonderful cleverness and skill.
 oh, but this is the least part of it. said my host. You should see the in- telligent creatures go about their morn ing's work In that they really show more than ordinary human insight. It would be well worth your morning nap for once to watch them.
 Accordingly, at early dawn the next morning I arose, and as l stood gazing spell-bound at the breadth of the sky line and the illimitable eXpanse of the plains my attention was called to the business of the day by the friendly barking of the collies. They had just finished their breakfast and were mak- ing their way to the corral, the gates of whish stood open. In they bounded among the promiscuous assembly of sheep and then each began to single out his own especial flock; for with these thousands of animals like one another as so many peas, each collie comes, in some subtle way. to know which of them are under his especial care. By system of running, scenting, pushing, crowding and elbowing he finally gets his own flock sorted out and starts them for their particular pasture. Here he watches them through the long day, not allowing one to stray, and at exactly the same hour each night narshals them back to the corral.
 The only point in which they lack judgment explained my friend, lis that they do not seem to know when their flock should be taken to new pastures. After grazing over five or six hundred acres for a few months the grass is ex- hausted, and the Sheep need to be con- ducted to fresh meadows. That part of the work fall to me- and is practically all that I do. I select q new grazing ground and conduct the shepherd and his flock there for the first time After that he understands. I keep practically no help besides the dogs. and with all my ten thousand sheep cannot complain of being overworked.' "-Omaha Bee.

There is a lessening of ornamentation in the hats that accompany such suits, too The correct headgear is strict sailor hat in very rought straw usually banded by a black ribbon. This Is a close imitation of the mans city straw hat, and it has not the sailor suggestion of the smoother straw bound by mar TOW scarf ribbon, but the rough straw is worn for the outing use as well as the smooth. The shaped sailor is a happy compromise for the city with the strict sailor, which remains the prettiest out ing wear for women of any degree of youthfulness. These shaped sailors have the crown sloped jauntily down from back to front or from left to right. A crown five inches high at the left slopes dizzily to an inch height at the other side A loose scarf widens and narrows
 it's folds in corresponding fashion about the crown, and at the lowest point loops over the sturdy quill of a fierce eagle feather. It is a wonder how long these eagle quill feathers came.
