The Teaching of Paul.

Pau's teaching amounts to this: We
are not saved through law; we are
saved through life Life does not
mean outward obedience. That is on
ly the shell of life. Real life means
faith and hope and love. The only
source of this life is in God. Christ
alone brings this life near to us,makes
1t accessible, sweeps away all him
ORANGES, and invites US to enter into it
by giving ourselves entirely to him.
To live, according to Paul, means to
believe in Christ, to hope in Christ,
and to love Christ, because he is the
human life of God.
To proclaim, illustrate and embody
this gospel was the single purpose OF
Paul's manifold labors and teachings.
What are called the progressive phases
of PauPs doctrine are in fact nothing
more than various applications of this
same gospel to the problems of human
life in different conditions.
In Thessalonica, for example, men
had fallen into dependency and
gloom because life was full of trials
and prosecutions, and because death
was fearfully prevalent in the city.
Paul sent them a letter to remind
them that they must have hope in
Christ because he certainly would
come again, and that at his second
coming the dead would surely be rails
ed up in glory. Probably Paul thought
that this second advent was very near
at hand, though he did not actually
say so. But the point of his teaching
was not that Christ was coming to-
morrow, but that he was surely com
ing. and that therefore Christians
ought to be hopeful and of good cheer
in him.

Close at Hand.


The day is long, and the day is hard,
We are tired of the march and of keep
ing guard,
Tired of the sense of a fight to be won,
OF days to live through, and of work
to be done,
Tired of ourselves, and Of being alone.
And all the while, did we only see,
We walk in the Lords own company;
We fight, but it's He who nerves our
arm;
He turns the arrows which else might
harm,
And out of the storm He brings a
calm.
The work which we ought so hard to
do,
He makes it easy, for He works. too;
The days that are long to live are His,
A bit of his bright eternities,
And close to our need His helping is.

Marketing In Cuba.

Probably one of the most peculiar
customs noticeable in the Cuban mar
kets is the extremely small purchases
small in quantity-made by the
lower class of natives. Small gourd
cups, holding scarcely more than a Ia
blespoonful, are used in measuring rice,
-four, beans and peas. Cabbages are
cut in wedges the size Of cigar, turnips
into eighths, squashes into minute
shunks, and onions into halves. Po-
tatoes are sold by numbers.
1t is no uncommon thing to see a
woman buy a piece of meat, weighing
a couple Of ounces, then pass through
the market purchasing a tablespoonful
of vegetables here and a piece of garlic
there, and, finally, after an hour of
gossip. depart with food products worth
five or six Philadelphia IL

War with the Heather.

When the British marched to Benin,
the "city of blood" not long ago and
cleaned out that stronghold of saw
agery they did not do their work thor
olghly enough, for they allowed to
escape old Ologbosheri, the head dew
III in the massacres which led to the
Benin expedition. Now Ologbosheri
has gathered other fugitive chiefs and
the remnants of their followers about
him, and England has on hand another
little war with the heather" The
chief has established himself at town
called Ondumo, and 400 soldiers, with
machine guns and war rockets have
been sent against him. The head
quarters of Ologbosheri are only about
sixty miles beyond the city of Benin,
but the country is jungle, the eli
mate anything but healthy and the
natives are gathered in big force.
This stand of Ologbosheri is the last
expiring struggle to hold what was
once large empire. Once the king Of
Benin was a powerful monarch who
had intimate commercial relations
with Abyssinia, and through the Abys-
sinians Europe learned of India. 1t
was an ambassador of the king of Ben
in who carried to the court of Portugal,
over 400 years ago, the knowledge OF
the existence of Abyssinia and con-
firmed the rumors about India. These
tales of the Benin envoy fired the i'm
agination Of the Portuguese. inspired
them to renewed effort to discover the
unknown lands and paved the way for
the voyage of Vasco da Cana.

Origin of Famous Fashions.

1t is singular fact in the history
OF fashions that not few of the more
famous of them owe their origin to
the endeavor to conceal a personal de-
feet or deformity of some distin-
guished leader of society. Patches were
invented in England in the reign Of
Edward vi. by foreign lady, who in
this manner ingeniously covered a wen
on her neck. Full bottomed wigs were
invented by an ingenious French bar
Der for the purpose of concealing an
unnatural protuberance on the should
er OF the Dauphin. Charles VII. of
France introduced long coats to hide
his ill-made legs. Shoes with very
long points, fully two feet in length,
were invented by Henry Plantagenet,
Duke of Anjou, to conceal a large ex-
cresence on one Of his feet When
Francis l. was obliged to wear his
hair short, owing to wound he re-
ceived in the head, short hair at once
became the fashion at his court. AS a
set-off to the examples quoted, we
may note that, not to conceal, but to
display, her charms, the beautiful Isa-
bella OF Bavaria, introduced the fash
ion of leaving the shoulders and part
Of the neck uncovered. in order to
show the remarkable fairness Of her
skin.

The "Rnxane, Hat

One of the smartest types of hat is
covered on brim, inside out, and to
the tip-top of the crown, with rows on
rows of lace. Just about June the lace
hat, which in Paris is called the "Rox-
ane," will begin to make its influence
felt. Any woman who knows any
thing Of style and dainty needlework
can make her own Roxane by buying
a becoming shape of white wire, COW
cred with coarse muslin. and on to this
frilling deep cream Mechlin that
comes at Is and 20 cents a yard by way
of bargain counter. All she need do
when the hat becomes a fluffy mass
of lace frills is to wreath pale pink or
mauve carnations, with bows of black
velvet ribbon. round the crown in
such an inexpensive piece of headgear
she is fit to appear before a queen.

The entire number of deaths to the
American forces since the opening Of
the war with Spain, both on land and
sea, through fighting and the result OF
sickness, amounts to 500, a little less
than half the soldiers killed in the
three days fighting around Chattan-
ooga thirty-siX years ago.

Sun Bonnets the Rage.

Sun bonnets Of every description
are seen in the shops and exchanges,
and there is no doubt that they are
to be the rage. The average outdoor
girl must possess at least half a dozen
of these creations. In the country
they are indispensable. Sometimes she
fashions them herself. but this is no
small task, and requires time and taste
and skill.
Nothing could be more becoming
and picturesque than some of the love-
ly combinations of muslin, lace and
ribbon which are already shown. They
are in plain colors, or lowered in
bright or pale colors. to suit every
taste. Some are soft and dropping,
and others are made on stiffened
forms. They have strings, or they
have not, but the strings, If there, are
unlikely ever to be tied. 1t would
seem to indicate that the summer girl
intends to pay some regard to her
complexion AMI not go hatless in the
sun, as she did last season.

Bodice trimmings.

Among the various odd effects pro-
duced on the modern bodice is the use
of white pique with a coarse, heavy
cord. This appears on the new fou-
lards, the daintiest nuns veilings and
crepes de chine in chemisette, wide
collar, or an inner or second vest peep
ing out on either side of the front over
a lace or embroidered satin vest and
cut in scallops on the edge, finished
with a full ruche of white chiffon.
Scallops, by the way, are seen every
where that an .edg, IS presented which
can be cut in scallops. 1t is a favorite
mode of finishing the overdresses and
the bottom of short jackets, and some
of the rufiles are cut in scallops. You
may have them deep or shallow, as you
fancy, and trim them round with
ruchings, insertions or e-plaitings.

THE PRINCE AND THE SINGER.
How "the Student Fritz" and Jenny
Lind Sang Together.


On summers night the prince was
returning with few companions from
ramble near Rolandseck, says Mac
millan's Magazine. Some one suggest
ed supper at the local inn. All
right" said the prince, so long as
you drop his royal highness and re-
member that my name is Fritz" On
entering the inn the strains of a voice
as of siren held the young men in
thrall. Mine host professed not to
know the singers name Once more
the liquid notes thrilled into the night.
The student Fritz sprang from his
seat. ut is Jenny Lind" he cried; sit
can only be Jenny Lind" He dashed
into the adjoining room; it was Jenny
Lind. The great songstress felt that
she ought to be angry at the intrusion,
but it Is difficult to be angry on
summers night at Rolandseck. The
end OF 1t was that she found herself
at the piano singing national songs to
delighted audience Of three unknown
students. If | had a voice like the
nightingale of Sweden" said the stu
dent called Fritz, 81 would sing the
song of Blucher's Hussars" Sing 1t
to me" said Jenny Lind. II know that
all German students can sing. Fritz
was nothing loath; all the fervor OF
his patriotism rang out in the STIR
ring refrain in which the warrior-poet
Ernst Moritz Arndt, had given voice
to the spirit Of the wars of liberation
"A song like that carries one away
with it, said Jenny Lind. Il should
like to try it," Then the young prince
again seated himself at the piano to
teach the greatest singer Of her time
the song to the music Of which he was
to lead his troops to victory at Weisen-
burg and Worth. She was not long
learning it. Like the roll of an or
gan and the clash of bells" says the
chronicler, "the magnificent voice rang
out over the whispering river" When
her new friends were taking their
leave Jenny Lind asked her teacher
to tell her his name. At that moment
the door was thrown open and a tall,
whte-haired figure entered the room.
Ernst Moritz Arndt," whispered the
students in respectful welcome. Eyes,
Ernst Moritz Arndt," he answered;
and if you, fair singer, ask that mans
name, / will answer for him; he is
called his royal highness Prince Fred
erick William Of Prussia.

of evening gowns and also hold up
tunic draperies. Some are square. while
others are heart-shaped, and they are
chiefly of gold. dull-finished silver, dia-
monds or steel. Tortoise shell orna~
ments are extensively used for the dec

buttons are much used by French ate

Powder puffs are made so artis-

that the owner can possess herself of

of little bunch of flowers that can be
pinned on to the bodice, and are gem
orally composed of violets, lilies of the
valley or cowslips, surrounded by their
own leaves. The bunch is sewed on
some pale green silk, with its edge left
jagged and uneven. Inside the silk is
placed the powder puff, and narrow
green ribbon is run around the little
piece of silk. thus forming dimin-
utive bag. When tied up the silk looks
like parts of the leaves, and no one
seeing the pretty bunch of flowers
would imagine what IT conceals.

Showing Spirituality.

Spirituality is best manifested on
the ground, not in the air. Rapturous
day dreams, flights of heavenly fancy,
longings to see the invisible, are less
expensive and less expressive than the
plain doing of duty. To have bread ex-
cite thankfulness, and drink of water
send the heart to God, is better than
signs for the unattainable. To pillow
a straight furrow on Monday, or dust
a room we'll on Tuesday, or kiss a
bumped forehead on Wednesday, is
worth more than the most ecstatic
thrill under Sunday eloquence. Spir-
ituality is seeing God in common
things and showing God in common
tasks.-S. S. Times.
