On jackets and wraps generally they

To Make Good Coffee.

The latest word of those who know
is that, to be perfect, coffee must
never, while it is making, come in
contact with any metal. For the
breakfast table, at least, it should be
made i'll glass. First, bay from depot
Of medical supplies flask of annealed
glass which looks like al ordinary
water bottle. The price, 80 cents, is
no great outlay considering the bottle
will stand boiling water without
breaking Then five cents for glass
funnel to fit into the bottle neck and
ten cents for dozen round bits Of
clean. coarse muslin. Coffee itself is
the next thing 1t is real Java, bought
green OF dealer who has regard for
his work, at so to 80 cents the pound.
1t is roasted to nicety at home, half
pound at u time, and ground Just as
it is wanted. 1t may go into chased
ver-idded howl without the least
harm. The water may likewise boil
in a silver kettle, over q BRASS amounted
spirit lamp-or even on the plebian
gas stove--before it comes iu sight.
The one essential thing is to have it
in plenty and freshly boiling. First
pour cup of the boiling water into
the flask and turn it deftly about,
heating the flask all the way up. Then
pour it out, whip the funnel into the
flask mouth, line the funnel with one
of the muslin rounds aud put into it
three heaping teaspoonfuls of the
coffee. Then slowly, steadily, grace
fully pour on the water, which has
been kept bubbling over the spirit
lamp. AS it begins to drip through
stir the wet coffee lightly with a tea
spoon. More water goes in as the
first pouring filters through. Three
spooufuls of dry coffee ought to yield
three cups of coffee essence. 1t is
really coffee essence which comes out
OF the flask. 1t is almost black, per-
fectly clear, full of coffee flavor and
aroma Only the most confirmed
coffee topper can drink it neat. Other
folk require the cup to be half tillel
with boiling water. Those who like
whipped cream in it make the water
third. Thus single tiltering will
serve considerable tea party. The
muslin and the spent grounds are
thrown away after each tiltering.-

The Moccasinsin Winter.

The moccasin is the most rationa
ala comfortable of all footwear. In
moccasins the feet have full play; they
can bend and grasp; there is nothing
to chafe them or impede circulation.
In moccasins one can move like an
acrobat, crossing slender and slippery
logs, climbing trees, or passing With
ease aud security along dizzy trails OF
&he mountainside where slip might
mean sure destruction. The feet dc
not stick fast in mud. In the North
when the mercury is far below zero
and no civilized boot will protect the
feet from freezing, the savage suffers
no inconvenience. His moccasins,
stuffed with dried grass, let the blood
course freely. The perspiration may

ice, but the feet remain warm and dry

Ten Minute. Of Daylight.

The wife of missionary in Wash
ington, who has recently made an ex-
tended journey in Seattle, writes that
IN Skaguay on Christmas day there
were only ten minutes of daylight,
and that during the month of July
there is no night there. Life can be
made as comfortable there, however,
she says, as anywhere. The trip along
the Indian river she described as de-
lightful, and said it reminded her Of
tropical scenery. The missions at
Wrangel, Sitka and Juneau she found
in fourishing condition

affairs that are so much worn. Such
headgear in one color is worn with
any colored costume. That in the cut
is of very coarsely woven bright
blue straw, and its ontire trimming is
concentrated against the brim at its
upturned side. The trimming con-
sists OF a chou in -blue tulle and
knot in very dark-blue panne. The
bell crown has twist of the panne
stitched, while at one side rise tall
loops of the same material.
An example of the way fruit is
harvested by hats for trimming this
season is also shown in the cut. Here
is toque in fancy black straw-at
least straw is the material of the high
peaked crown. The brim consists
of frills of black lisse, strung with
scarlet currants. The lisse frills are
so plated that they look like long leaf
effects, and the currants are strung
upon and down the middle, as we'll as
along both edges. The fruit aigrette
is made up of one large red apple,
surrounded by sprays of currants and
much foliage. A second hat of pic
turesque proportions is heavy with
shaded purple grapes. 1t is of mauve
fancy straw, draped with chiffons In
various shades of the same hue.
Where the brim upturns, extravagantly
at one side, are choux of chiffon and
an amethyst and silver buckle. The
crown is fairly hidden under the
heaped.up choux of chiffon. The
grapes. with plenty OF foliage, are
massed around the crown ana along
the brim. The edge OF the brim has
. narrow frill finish IN chiffon.

Some Appetizinr Fruit Soups.

Fruit soups are appetizing and
healthful, and offer a pleasing variety
from those common to the American
bill of fare. One tablespoonful OF
:aisins, two tablespoonfuls OF raw
cice, three whole cloves and one cup.
Iul of dried apricots thoroughly
soaked. 70 these add three pints OF
water. The mixture is cooked about
an hour, then rubbed through sieve,
and afterward half teaspoonful OF
salt and tablespoonful of sugar
added. The seasoning would depend
apon the fruit. Apples, being much
more acid, naturally would require
considerably more sugar than the
amount used for apricots.

A HELPING HAND.

A brother languishing in sore distress,
And should turn and leave him comfort
less,
When might be

How could ask what denied
III my own heart of bitterness supplied?
II might sing
a little song to cheer fainting heart,
And should seal my lips and sit apart,
When might bring
A bit of sunshine for life's ache and smart.
How conld hope to have my grief relieved
II kept silent when my brother grieved?
And so l know

And lay me down to rest in sweet content.

The News and Observer claims
that the Democratic party is Every
religious institution" The Jews
were a very religious institution;
they made great pretentions to re.
ligion. Yet when they got the idea
that Christ and his followers from
the country-commOn people-had
come to take the offices (for they
thought he had come to set up an
earthly kingdom) the office holders
began to squall and the Jews and
these religious institutions, Joined

all his apostles.
So mere religion is nothing. Men
and parties may be very religious, vet
unless they have been regenerated
and made Christians, they will yield
to party prejudice and greed for
office, and even commit murder to
obtain it. There is great difference
between religion and christianity.
