With the December number Harper S
Magazine begins its hundredth volume,
and enters upon the last six months of its
iftieth year. Half a century ago Har-
pers Magazine, as the announcement of
the four HarpeI Brothers reads, twas
projected and commenced in the belief
that it might be made the means of bring
ing within the reach of the great mass of
the American people an immense amount
OF useful and interesting reading matter,
to which, on account of the great num-
Der and expense of the books and perodi-
calls IN which it originally appears, they
have hitherto had no access. The orig
mai plan of the publishers then was to
make The new periodical simply a literary
digest, and for the first SIX months its
pages were filled entirely with matter re-
printed from English magazines and from
current books. The success Of the Mag
azlne SO surpassed the expectations of the
publishers, that at the beginning of the
second volume they felt themselves in a
position to institute new feature. Dur
ing The second year, in each number ap-
peared at least one original article. This
innovation proved SO acceptable, to the
Magazine readers that it was continued
and developed, and in a few years the
periodical consisted entirely Of original
matter Half a century makes a vast
difference both u magazines and the tastes
they supply-a difference which could
only be understood by comparison OF
the first number of Harper's with the
elaborate Christmas number which Las
Just been received, and which, as has been
said, opens the hundredth volume. This
Christmas Number, by the way, ought to
be remembered for a long time, if for only
one thing, that is Mark Twain, short
story, ''The Man that Corrupted Hadley-
burg. The majority of readers will
probably consider this the best tale Mark
Twain has ever written; in any case, who
ever fails to read 1.-The Man that Cor
rnpted Hadleyburg'' will have missed one
of the things that make life worth living.

en- ny puIn 0ucness satin and by
ivory white crepe de, chine, and now,
as ever, lace seems the most important
garniture. The prettiest and most pop
ular modern lace Is Louis Quinze,
which is more stable than blond, but
possesses much of its fairylike fragil-
ity Of charm.
1t is an interesting and commendable
feature In bridal fashions that the
strict mode Of the hour can be quite
dispensed with in the designing of a
marriage dress, and the object of every
bride and her dressmaker is to work
out some scheme Of cut and drapery
that will be highly becoming, no mat
ter what the prevailing regulations
may be. For this reason, save in a
large general way, it is futile to lay
down a cut and dried rule for we'd
ding costume. 1t may be scant skirt

the first and last duty Of a wedding
gown.
An imported marriage robe is one
delicate froth to the knees of small silk
muslin flounces, and the remainder Of
the costume is in very heavy white
crepe de chine embroidered in clusters
Of small lilies.
There is coming in a strong feeling
against leaving the white gown and
misty veil to serve in the great cere-
smony without the aid Of jewels, and
unless all signs fail there is good rea-
son to believe that the bridal jewels at
the Forthcoming marriages win be one
Iof the most interesting features OF the

This opinion was expressed by Rev.

Mr.. Bosnian is on his way to the as

"To the loyal people of the Transvaal
will be added the people of the Orange

continued Mr.. Bosnian. "The Afri-

by the utter ravaging of the country

hospital in Boise City, Idaho,
where his wife had taken him for
treatment for that peculiar disease,
dropsy. He was one Of the oldest
