of all other popular light summer ma
terials Women never have lost jot Of
their affection for the serviceable crepon,
and the taffeta finish of the foulard now
gives it just the crispness required to
bring perfection of quality Besides silk
warp crepons, there are at least fifteen
materials, hitherto woven purely of cot
ton and wool, that this season have re-
appeared with silk warps, and as the num-
Der of these goods increases the conclu-
sion is easily reached that every woman
is bound ultimately to walk in silk at

CRUMBS. OF COMFORT.
A Pretty Device for Carrying Daily

Consolation and Advice.
A novel device for carrying daily balm
from holy writ to our friends, whether
sick or well, but especially the former, is
found in a bag of Crumbs of Comfort
This bag is made of some light dainty
silk. of plain color, sewn firmly to a cir
cular bottom covered with the same ma
terial. A draw-string of narrow ribbon
of a harnonizing or constrasting shade
runs through the casing near the top
while embroidered in silk of the same

with their correct references, on long mar

ing good for the purpose, and then curled
up into rolls by running the dull edge of
a knife blade over the clip held in the
fingers A bag should contain at least
thirty of these. being daily texts for a

such form as to be easily handled by weak
or aged fingers. They should, therefore
make desirable Easter gifts, and would
doubtless sell well at fairs.

Mr.. Bryan's Philosophy.

In his speech before the Gainesville
(Ga. chautauqua, Mr.. W. J. Bryan gave
utterance to these words:
am an optimist. believe in the in
telligence and patriotism of the American
people; believe them capable OF solving
Alright every question that confronts
them. If they make mistakes, know
that to "err is human, f" but that mistakes
are really the means by which we learn,
and that our people have sufficient intel
ligence tomake good use of the mistakes
which they do make and that our stumb-
ling blocks may really be our stepping
stones to higher grounds.
There is whole world of philosophy
in what Mr.. Bryan has here so eloquent
ly said. In fact, what he has said might
be amplifed so as to ver6veFy relation
of life. There can be no more depressing
influence in any country or in any busi-
ness than the croaker, says the Atlanta
Constitution, the man who goes about
lamenting his fate, and declaring that
the world is continually growing worse.
His opposite, however, the man who has
always bright smile and CHEEKY word,
is benediction and pleasure where he
appears. Beneath his influence misfor-
tune even takes on different hue, and
studying out the events which befaH us
we begin to look for the bright side.
In the matter of political conditions
there are always those who think that
the country is going to the dogs. They
can see nothing bright in the future, and
every comparison which they have to
make is with the past to the disadvantage
of the future. Such men as these are
not the ones who build up a country, nor
give to it the tone which is to control its
future progress. The man who has hope
in his country and faith in his fellows is
the one who gauges the secret OF success.
AS Mr.. Bryan has so truly said, the very
mistakes which we make are most bene-
ficial because they are object studies in
the school of experience. The country
may from time to time suffer the disad
vantages of bad men in Office and the en-
forcement of wrong principles, but IL is
through the warning set by such men
and the evil consequences Of suGn prin-
ciples that peo. e learn to avoid mistakes
in the future viewed in the light OF those
which have been already made.
In fact, the very existence of our re-
public has been made possible by the
mistakes which have been made only to
call for the reforming hand of the peo-
pie. The establishment of the republic
itself was looked on by the old world as
a mistake, but the mistake proved its
tenacity Of purpose, and went on reform
ing itself until now the United States
government is one of the mightiest in
the world, welding all the power of auto
cracy at the same time without losing its
character as government of the peo-
pie. Upon the stepping stones OF error
our government has moved forward, as
it will continue to do in the future, re-
gardless of the dyspeptic opinion of
those who think that patriotism is a
varied article, and that the future holds
in its womb nothing but woe.

Unawares.

Once they was man
Without no hairs;
And his head was shiney and smooth,
Just like a egg that's fresh from the
layers;
And his mouth only had one tooth.
And some wicked. wicked boys
Met this poor old man,
And they telled him to
"Go up, Bald Head"
But they didn't see the bears,
Coming on 'em unawares;
So now the bad boys is dead.
And at other time,
Some Phlistine folks,
AT lived where Sampson did,
Was hotty, and was proud,
And was always making jokes
Bout the Samson's family kid;
So what did Samson do
To bring 'em to time
But hit 'em with a jawbone on the
head!
And that was worse than bears
Comm on 'em unawares
For now the bad folks is dead.
III.
And once they was man
Called Jonah, for short,
That wouldn't do no work for the
Lord,
And he tumbled off boat
Bout a mile from port,
And got swallowed by whale for
reward;
But he tasted awful bad,
And it made the poor whale sick,
So he landed poor Jonah on his head,
And they wasn't any bears
Comm on 'em unawares;
But Jonah and the whale both is dead.
".
AM they was a other man named
Dan-i-yell
That was much too good for to eat;
For they throwed him in den
Where some lyings was, hut then,
Danny was thy wrong kind of meat,
For the lyings smelt around
On the floor s'nd on the ground
An they didp't touch his feet nor his
head.
But eff any big bears
Had come pm 'em unawares
You bet tN big bears ID be dead
So if any little girls or any little boys,
Or folks that's growed up big,
Don't stop a-being bad,
And a-making so much noise.
And p'tending they don't care fig,
They'll find that after while
Jest es like es not
Maybe when they just went to bed,
They'll be some awful bears
Comm on 'em unawares;
And nen the bad follrs'll be dead.

The Pale Mathematician and the
Roman Numerals.

"Have you noticed,' said the
pale mathematician, chow much
easier it is going to be, after this
year, to wrils, the number of the
year in Roman numerals?"

the ruddy hapslaess man.

numerals the year 1000 was writ

shall never get back to one letter
again. Now, for this year it takes
nine letter, 'MDCCCXClX.' And
think Of 1888, which we can easily
remember, Then it took thirteen
letters, 'MDCCCLXXXVIIl. That
was the hardest year TO write OF the
whole Christian era thus fur. 4-@
Next year, 1900, it will drop
right down to three finures, 'MCM.' =

it will go to two letters, 'MM.' And
