DIED.

At Douglas Island, Alaska, May 18th, 1900. Petar A. Vujovich, native of Moidjez, Erceg Novi, Boka Kotorska, Austria, aged 21 years and 9 months.
 As is customary, the blasting in the mines is done just before the noon hour, or when coming off shift. The necessity of this is to give loose ore ample time to fall, and the mine to be- come clear of gas before the men re- turn to work.
 While this was being done as usual in the new shaft of the Mexican mine, Friday evening, 18th inst, serious ac- cident ensued, resulting in the death of a miner, one Petar Vujovich.
 The lighting of the fuse is always fol lowed by nasty exit from the mine. But this unlucky time an attempt was made on the part of the deceased, and three of his fellow miners, to remove a ladder from the shaft In doing so amid fuss and confusion, Mir. VujoVich slipped from the cage to the bottom of the shaft, distance of about twenty feet, and his terror-stricken compan- ions, thinking it would endanger their own lives to attempt bis rescue, gave the signal to hoist, and this unfortu- nate young man, in a semi-conscious condition, as may be supposed from the effects of the fall, met sorrowfully sudden death.
 It was purely accidental, and the re- ports of all the men concur in eXoner- ating those in charge.
 Shift Boss Stephenson, having miss ed the cage at another level, would have suffered badly from gas, but for the prompt action of Foreman Rain in go- ing down for him.
 An accident of any kind is a rare thing about the Mexican, where so much sinking, drifting and tunneling is done.
 While no blame can be laid on any one connected with this sad event, it may be said, and with propriety, too. that disregardsof danger often causes disaster and death, and consequently the oft repeated counsel becomes a very valuable motto: ''Men cannot be too careful"

An "Observer" says that the Chris tian Endeavor Society at the Friends church seems to be increasing in inter- est from the evidence we had of it's eX- ercises last Friday evening, which were planned and led by Mrs. Replogle very intelligentIy. The productions of the leader and the Misses Lawrence were instructive on the subject of the occa- sion, 'Intemperance," and Annie Rake did we'll with her Reclamation, render ing it with natural ease. MT. Replogle needs no comment on his solo on the "Brewer and Sunday School Teacher" to those who heard him, for he fairly raised the audience to cheers and laughter. In connection with these ex- ercises were songs, and questions and answers interspersed, which were list ened to with much interest. Notwith standing the exercises were mostly of literary character, the Spirit of God was manifest throughout, which should be in all gatherings.

IMITATION OF CHRIST.
CHAPTER XXI.

On compunction Of Heart.
If thou wouldst make any progress
keep thyself in the fear of God. and
be not too free, curb thy senses under
discipline, and give not thyse!f up to
foolish mirth. Give thyself to com
junction of heart, and thou shalt find
devotion,
Compunction opens the way to much
good which dissipation is wont quick
~ to lose. 1t is wonderful that any
man can ever abandon himself wholly
to Joy in this life, when he considereth
and weigheth his exile and the MANY
dangers Of his soul. Through leyitv
of heart and neglect of our defects we
feel not the sorrows of the soul; and
we often Vainly laugh where we should
in all reason weep.
There is no true liberty or profitable
Joy but in the fear Of God with a good
conscience
Happy is the man that can cast away
all the hinderance of distraction. and
recollect himself in the unity of the
holy compunction-
Happy is the man who casteth away
from him whatever may stain or
burden his conscience
Strive manfully; habit is overcome
by habit
If thou canst let men alone, they
will let thee alone to do whatever thou
hast 10 do.
Busy not myself in matters which
appertain to others: and entangle not
myself in the affairs of the great
Have always an eye upon thyself in
the first place. and admonish myself

HOW WOMEN REST.

How different men and women in
dulge themselves in what is called a
esting spell! L guess I'll sit down and
mend these stockings and rest awhile, .
says the wife, but her husband throws
himself back upon the easy lounge or
sits back in his arm chair The result
is that his whole body gains full benefit
Of the half hour he allows himself from
work. and the wife only receives that
indirect help which comes from change
Of occupation. A physician would tell
her that taking even ten minutes rest
in a horizontal position. as a change
from standing or sitting at work, would
prove more beneficial to her than any
of her makeshifts at resting. Busy
women have a habit of keeping on
their feet just as long as they can, in
spite Of backaChes and warning pains
As they grow older they see the folly
Of permitting such drafts upon their
strength, and learn to take things
easier let what viii happen. They
say, Il used to think l must do thus
and SO, but I've grown wiser and
learned to slight things" The first
years Of housekeeping are truly the
hardest. for untried and unfamiliar
cares are almost daily thrust upon the
mother and home maker

FASHION NOTES.

Now that the fact is firmly estab-
lished that separate waists are to be
fashionable during the winter and
PROBABLY through the spring and sum-
nler, a new lot of neckwear has made
IT'S appearance. There are no end of
attractive bows and jabotS in white
lace, chlnon and tulle. and the becom-
ing lad of a tulle tie still continues in
IaVor, but there is one style that is
quite the newest and the smartest of
all. A narrow tie that is put once
around the neck, then tied in front in
DoWknot with long ends finished with
fancy SILK or ribbon or of embroidered
NelFet and are handsomest in velvet
The correct width is an inch and a half,
and the ties are smartest when made of
the material on the bias. All cOlors are
permissible, but the black velvet. en-
bro1dered with polka dots in white, are
the newest The rucheS to wear around
the neck with street gowns when the
weather is too warm for furs are as
popular as ever. Liberty silk and
mousseline de sole are the favorite ma
terials, made in full rosettes fastened
on band of black satin ribbon and
finished at the throat with long accor-
lion pleated ends. Black is the correct
color for these ruches.
Broad belts of Liberty satin or velvet
are seen on some of the new costumes.
IN sharp contrast to the narrow belts
that are so much in fashion. 1t must
be confessed that q broad belt, when
worn under an Elton jacket, looks very
smart just the edge showing at the
back, but these belts must always be
OF satin or velvet, cut on the bias.
A becoming style of gown is the one
that is made with the skirt laid in mar
row side pleatS over the 6fns and
across the back. The pleats are stitched
down half way on the skirt and then
left flaring. The front breadth of the
skirt is plain, much narrower at the
beIt and widening gradually to the
men, and the front breadth is of differ
ent material-of figured velvet. cut
work, chenille dotted cloth of a dark
er shade. On the waist or Jacket the
same idea is repeated, and both on Eoat
and skirt the plain breadth is edged 1

THE HOME LIFE.

The truth is that every adult human
being needs space and privacy. two
requirements almost invariably ig-
nored in the family. By space is meant
not material dimensions, such as room
space, but the more subtle space of at
mosphere for individual DEVELOPMENT.
Family Earrings result. largely, from
too persistent propinquity and from diff
ferences in temperament The large
majority of people have little or no
imagination and they are incapable of
making allowance for the idiosyncra
sizes of others, the result being that
they allow themselves to be irritated
by the little faults, and great ones as
well, which are exhibited in daily inter
course. Men usually escape this irri-
tatlon as their interests and activities
lie for so much of the time outside of
the home; and those women. also. who
are engaged in professional. Industrial
commercial or philanthropic work are
little affected by those inevitable minor
discords that result from the commune
cation of family life
1t is fairly safe average rule that
the larger the outlook, the more di-
yersitied the interests apart from home
life, the happier and more wholesome
will the life be.

MAIDS OF HONOR

Those of us who have been to Rich
mond, London, remember a certain lit
tie pastry shop where it is de rigeuer,
to stop and eat sort of tart known
as maids of honor. The name, we are
told, was given because in the palmy
days of Richmond, when the king and
court dined. their real maid of honor
dotted upon this dainty.
Here is a recipe, dating back to those
days telling US how to make the lemon
filling for the tarts-the crust being
merely light paste such as you can
make at home or order of the nearest
confectioner.
Try this for filling:
Half a pound of white sugar, two
ounces of good fresh butter, three
yolks Of eggs and the grated rind and
juice of two small lemons Put the
above ingredients in a farina boiler
over pot of boiling water and stir it
over slow fire until it becomes as
thick as good double cream. Pound
one ounce of sweet almonds and stir
them into the mixture Fill pastry
cases and bake them till the pastry is
cooked
