dead. We are the dcad-we who toll. we
who weep, we who sin-wc are the dead.
How my heart aches for human sorrow-
this sound of breaking hearts that | hear
all about me, this last look Of faces that
never will brighten again, this last kiss of
lips that never will speak again, this wild
owhood and orphanagcl oh, when will
the day of sorrow be goncl
JOY Comes After sorrow.
After the sharpest winter the spring dis
mounts from the shoulder OF n southern
gale and puts its warm hand upon the
earth, and in its palm there comes the
grass, and there come tho flowers, and
God reads over tho poetry of bird and brook
and bloom and %pronounccs It very good.
What, my friends, If every winter had not
its spring, and every night its day, and
every gloom its glow, and every bitter now
its sweet hereafter! II you have been on
the sea, you know, AS the ship passes in
the night, there is n phosphorcscent track
left behind it, and as the waters roll up
they toss with unimaginablc splcndor.
Well, across this great ocean of human
trouble Jesus walks. Oh, that in the
phosphorcsccnt track Of his feet we might
all follow and be illumincdl
There was IA gentleman in n rail car
who saw in that sanc car three passengers
of very different circumstances. The first
was n maniac. He was carefully guarded
by his attendants. His mind, like "a ship
dismasted, was beating against II dark,
dcsolate coast, from which no help could
come. Tho train stopped and the man
was taken out into the asylum to waste
away perhaps through years of gloom.
The second passenger was a culprit. Tho
outraged law had seized on him. As the
cars joltcd the chains ratified. Or his face
were crime, deprayity and despair. The
train halted, and he was taken out to the
pcnitcntiary, to which he had been con
dcmncd. There was the third passenger,
under far different circumstances She
was a bride. Every hour was gay as u
marriage bell, Life glittcred and beck
oned. Her companion was taking her t.
his fathers house. The train halted. Thu
old man was there to welcome her to her
new home, and his white locks showed
down upon her as he sealed his word with
n fathers kiss. Quickly we fly toward
eternity. We will soon be there. Some
leave this life condemned culprits, and
they refuse IA pardon. oh, may it be with
us that, leaving this fecting life for the
next, we may lind our Father ready to
greet us to our hcw home with him for
ever! That will be a marriage banquet
Fathers welcome! Fathers bosom! Fa-
Tiers kiss! Heaven. Heaven!

Money Making In Japan.

The contempt for money and trade,
characteristic Of Japan, has lost much of
Its forco. Merchants have risen in social
standing and have even been advanced to
the peerage. Indeed, Mr.. Fukuzawa, the
most influential educator in the empire
declares that 1t Is every mans first duty
to make money in order to Sncrease the
power OF the nation, Newspapers abound
In commercial statistics and magazines
are largely devoted to industrial topics. 1t

TRANS. For rich goods the mode demands
n plain skirt. For costumes of cloth or
wool IA decoration of stitching or galloon
is often used to break the m%onotony of the
garment.
The tailor made skirt, b|uttoning at the
back, has much success. In tho latest
form it is closed underneath by two but
tons which are concealed beneath two
plaits, tho edges of which just meet.
Today's picture shows a walking gown
Of pearl gray cloth. The skirt is closely
fitting and entirely plain. The tight bod
ice has large revers Of red silk, beneath
which arc other revers of gold embroidery
upon cream silk. These are fastened by n
jcweled buckle, and above the fastening
they separate to show n plastron of the
gold embroidered silk. Red ribbons, APP
pcaring from under the revers, pass down
ward to the red silk belt, which fastens at
the side. a rucho of gray silk encircles the
neck. The toque of gray velvet is trim
med with gray ostrich plumcs and a Jew
eled ornament. JUDO CICILET.

DIR. Pakenham-W Walsh, VINO recently re
signed the bishopric of Ossory, is celebrated
alike for his piety and his wit. There is
a story told of how he proposed to his
wife. He was at a dinner party and was
seated beside the woman of his choice.
In the course of the dinner he found
that he had been helped to the wishing
bone, and, as is often the custom at
country houses, he pulled for the wish
with his neighbor. The little V shaped
bone was broken, and the bishop, having
secured the wish whispered to his fair
companion as he laid down his part of the
bone, viii you lay your bones with my
b~oncs?"
She ~blushingly whispered an assent, and
after dinner the engagement was announc-

NEW SKIRTS.
They Grow Tighter and rs
the Season Advances.

A great many skirts are made buttoned
at the back. still newer, however, is the
amazon skirt, which has no seam at the
back or in front and closes under the left
side Of the tablior. This garment is the
ultimate development of the flat, for it is
entirely plain and smooth around the top,
and there is no possibility Of having a
pocket in it. Preferably skirts of this sort
should be untrimmed, but women who
dislike a plain skirt may add n circular
flounce to it, not rising very high at the
back, or may cut the lower edge in points
or scallops and place beneath them one or
two lounces Of the same or thinner goods.

chosen, although wine and crimson shades

and arc worn with dark or dull colored

exclusively for walking wear, the trailing
skirt being very properly considered un-
suitable for wear in tho street by pedes.
