IEFFERSON'S BIBLE IN
 NATIONAL MUSEUM

From the St. Louis Gobe-Democrat.
 Through the diligent search of Represen- tative Lacey of Iowa what Is known the Jefferson Bible has been brought to light. This volume was compiled by Thomas Jeff ferson, and 1t contains the moral doctrines of Christ, the portions Of the Scripture of q supernatural nature being omitted. So thoroughly did Jefferson get into this work t. .,nvn It was completed the moral doc trines of the Saviour were posted in a blank bouK in parallel columns, being in the Greek, Latin, French and English lan- guages.
 This interesting book is now in an iron safe at the National Museum and is under lock and Key. rhe story of this precious book is best told in the words or Judge Lacey, as follows:
 There is little volume of 164 pages In the library of the National Museum, bound In red morocco by a Richmond bookbinder, which Is one of the curious things in Wash ington that is rarely seen. Thomas Jeffer- sons library was purchased by the govern- ment, and is now contained In the splendid Congressional library. Some time ago, in giving the Jefferson collection careful examina tion, I found that the 'Jefferson Bible as 1t A sometimes called, was not there. No one could tell me where 1t was until I asked A. R. Spofford, who told me 1t was in the National Museum Library. Il appears that the volume was not included in the sale of MT. Jefferson's library, but was aIterWaFuS puTcHdSeo loR ~fvV iio" Miss Randolph.
 .The book is a duodecimo volume of eighty-two double pages, or 164 pages, though Mir. Jefferson has paged only the ieft-hand page. On the left hand he has pasted the clippings In two columns, first in Greek and then in Latin On the right hand he has put the French version first and the English version in the last column So the whole is neatly pasted in four finely printed columns, in Greek, Latin, French and English. There are marginal notes in Jeffersons own handwriting, with table in front giving the pages and citing the chapters and verses from which the clip pings are taken.
 He has omitted everything of a miracu- lous nature and has confined his clippings to the pure teachings of the man Jesus. He has clipped from all the gospels, using the verses which make the clearest statement where the texts are practically the same, but he inserts texts from all of them. so as to include the entire teachings of the Saviour The. result is unique. In a clear, lucid form, apart from all surroundings of the supernatural, appear the words and moral teachings of the Son of Man

two combine exquisitely Tendre blue makes the most charming costumes. and if well combined with deeper shades they are beautiful for wear all the season.
 A gown of this delightful blue was made with a tight-f1tting bodice; so tight in- deed, that 1t fully outlined the bust with out a particle of leeway for blouse ef- feet. The sleeves were tight at the top and fitted the arm very closely until they suddenly belled out at the hand.
 The bodice had an eccentric trimming of gold embroidery put on in squares and points and odd designs from the neck to the bust line. This embroidery was out lined with the narrowest band of blaclI velvet.
 Small ovals of gold embroidery were set around the belt, each one outlined with black velvet.
 The skirt was tight-ftting nearly to the foot, where it flared, all skorts must flare. It was laid in tucks in groups of four, which reached from the belt down to the very ground. The cut of the skirt was so perfect that 1t f1ared without de- stroying the tucking arrangement.
 Fans are fashionable around the skirt, but they are fans of a new order. The skirt is slashed and into the opening Is set an oval of any material. Sometimes bias ruffle is placed where the fan should have been. In this gown there was a large curi- ously-shape piece of gold lace laid over piece 'of yellow satin. All the lace upon this costume underlaid with satin, giving an elegant finish to the gown. The belt was black to match the narrow rib bons that outlined the gold lace patterns.
 AN ELEGANT COSTUME.
 An exquisite toque flared from the face and was lined with blue chiffon, into which were set large red roses. Its top was trimmed with yellow roses, black velvet bows and plumes.
 This elegant costume was worn by one of the most fashionable women in New York during her visit to Paris. She was one of the party which everywhere accom- panied Mrs. George Gould on her rounds in Paris
 After turning out a gown of this kind the clever modiste who made 1t cunningly contrived several that were precisely as good in effect without the cost Cashmere is not expensive. nor is yellow lace of the Venetian variety. As an underlay there can be an imitation silk The whole gown can be fashioned for as small sum as the woman of moderate dress may have

laid aside for her autumn costume
 Silk Is not greatly used for street dresses just at this moment-nothing as it was in the spring. A smart cloth gown of bronze ladies' cloth, slightly shaded to green, looked not unlike silk All the materials have the silk finish, and you are sometimes deceived by them.
 This gown, which was of very light weight ladies' cloth, was trimmed with tuckings of the same goods. Tucks no larger than cords began at the belt line and extended to the foot of the gown, or very nearly to the foot. When about eight inches from the floor the tucks suddenly ceased and the material hared out making full ruffle.
 The bodice was laid in narrow tucks from the neck to the belt. The sleeves were treated in the same way as far as the el- bow.
 Tn distinctive feature of this gown was the passementerie, which was a brilliant thing in many kinds of tinsel. There were sparkles of gold, gleams. of silver, shim- mering particles of steel and many a wink of jet This elaborate passemeterie, cum ningly combined into one harmonious trimming, used to trim the skirt just where the tucks ceased. It was also used as a girdle design upon the waist and narrow bands of it were brought up in pointed fashion from the bust, where they were finished with a bow of orange satin ribbon.
 The hat was a modified Gainesborough The front dipped sharply into a point, but the sides rolled upwards and were draped with a trailing feather.
 With these cloth gowns for the street there are picture hats of the most deco rative order Romney, Isabey and Gains borough have all lent their art to the fash ioning of these hats. Actual pictures are copied and the wearers look as though

The contest for the Democratic nomina-

Dr. Tabs friends are generally agreed
that his deed was the result OF oemehtia
or dependency. He was OF a peculiarly
sensitive nature and was subject 10 hts
of melancholy. and in all probability had
contemplated suicide on previous coca
sons. He was thoroughly familiar with
the effect of various poscns and some
friends. though never. conveying the slight
est idea that he had any intention Of using
his knowledge against himself.
Tormented blythe thought that he had
wasted his opportunities and wrecked his
career, that he had made no return for the
love so freely showered upon him by rela-
tives. and abused the confidence of his
friends by mourning obligations to them
which he would be unable to meet, and
fearing that this condition of affairs must
ultimately come 10 the attention of the
department., with its consequences, he de-
cided to seek in death, an end of all his
troubles. Whether his act was that of a
man rendered morally irresponsible by de-
ne11ta or thai of one who had calmly
canvassed the situation and decided that
death held fewer ills in store than life,
will never be known.

GOOD COMPLEXION
penends ON Good Digestion.

This is almost an axiom. although usu-
e,,yzwe are ant To think that cosmetics,
face-powders. lotions, fancy soaps. ETC.,
are the secrets for securing clear COM
m,exion. But all these are simply super
tlciai assistants.
1t is impossible to have a good COM
olexion unless the digestive organs per-
form their work properly; unless the
stomach by properly digestng the food
taken into Il furnishes an abundance of
,,,rre blood, a good complexion is impos-
sihle.
This is the reason SO many ladies' are
using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. because
they promptly cure any stomach trouble
and they have found out that perfect d.
gesGon means perfect complexion and
one that does not require cosmetics and
powders TO enhance its beauty.
Many ladies Diet themselves or deny
themselves many articles OF food solely
In order to keep their complexion clear.
When Stuart's DYSPEPSIA Tablets are used
no such dieting is necessary; take these
tablets and eat all the good wholesome
food YOU want and you need have no fear
of INDIGESTION nor the sailow, dull COM
plex:ou which nine women out OF ten
have, solely because they are suffering
from, come form OF indigestion.
Bear in mind that beauty proceeds from
good health, good health results from per
feet digestion. and NE have advanced the
