4 Little sermon.

What this troubled old world needs Is less of quibbling over creeds, Fewer words and better deeds. Less of Thus and so shall you Think and act, and say and do" More of How may l be true?" Less of wrangling over text; Less of creed and code perpleXeu; More of charity UnveXed.
 Less of shouting: 'I alone Have the right to hurl the stone More of heart that will condone. Less of ruling: Hear! You must Hold this tenet, wrong or just" More of patient, helpful trust. Less of microscopic scan
 Of the faults of felloWman. More of brave, uplifting plan. Less of dogma, less pretense. More belief that Providence Will sanctify our common sense. More of chords of kindness blcnt Ger the discords of dissent. Then will come the great content. Lust to be good, and to do good" Simple, plain, for him who would A creed that may be understood.

Slip Contumcs Above Par

Slip Costumes Above Par.
 All-over embroidery is being used very freely. Slips-blouse and skirt of it come ready to make up, and are to be worn over taffeta under bodice and underskirt. In some cases cottons with silk finish are used instead of silk, and in occasional elaborate gowns lawn serves for the foundation of both skirt and blouse. Ribbon alternated with open work or all-over Is made into slips and bodices to be worn in the same way. There is the same fancy this year as last for combinations of delicate col ors. and these slip costumes give an op- portunity for the display of this taste. A lovely gown of natural color linen all-

FRENCH PRINCES IN ENGLAND

FRENCH PRINCES IN ENGLAND The announcement that Messrs. Chan. | cellor & Sons of Richmond and Pal
 Mall have received instructions to sell York House, Twickenham, the property
 of the Duke of Orleans, coupled with various rumors that the Chipping Nor ton estate, which the French prctender inherited from his granduncle, the Due d Aumale is likewise in the market, ap- parently indicates that the Orleans family has decided to sever It's connec- tion with this country After all the un- pleasantness following upon the Duke
 of Orleans notorious letter to M. Will ette, the French caricaturist, this de- cision will surprise nobody.
 The connection severed by the Duke 8 final departure from this country, is not
 merely one of recent times. He unites in his person the claims of Bourbon and Orleans, and since the close of the eigh-
 teenth century both houses have con-
 stantly found an asylum in this island.
 When the princesseS and nobleS of
 France fled from the coming Terror
 Juniper Hall, near Mickleham, became
 crowded with emigres, of whom Fanny
 Burney has left us some lively pictures.
 Then, at Hartwell, in Northamptonshire
 Louis, Count of Provence, afterwards Louis XVII, shivered and almost starv- ed while planning Quiberon and La
 Vendee. And Wimbledon House follow ed with increase of means and comfort, together with Albermarle Street and Audley Str et Grosvenor Square, all stepping-stones to the palace of the Tuileries. After Philippe had as- cended the French throne, Charles x. came to Belgrave Square to receive the homage of his adherents. Then Louis Philippe. in his turn, arrived among us as plain MT. smith, and after a while settled down at Orleans House and Clarmont. Subsequently, his grandson, the Comte de Paris. acquired York House. and Orleans House passed to the Due d'Aumale, while the Prince de Join- vile located himself at Mount Lebanon
 The right of asylum, which this country extends to political exiles of every category, can be found nowhere else in the world. Our government does not even possess the legal right to expel any such exile, as was long ago shown

The most striking fact found by the New Orleans Pfcayune in the annual re- port of the School Board in that city is the disproportion in the amount of money spent on the high schools and that expended on the primary grades. Stated in round numbers, twice as many teachers and four times as much money per head are devoted to the high- school pupils as are allowed to those of the inferior grades. Presumably like difference exists in other cities, but the offense in New Orleans, as the Pica- yune sees it. is that something more than one-eighth of the total school money available is expended on the pu- pills in the high schools, who number less than one-twenty-f of the total, at time when there is not enough of school accommodations for the primary children. It thinks it gross injustice to teach @ few of the children the higher branches when so many are un- able to get even the crumbs of a pri- mary education. With Louisiana at the bottom of the scale in the United States for illiteracy, the Picayune thinks that the city should be just before it is gen. erous.

We have heard much of the deadly climate of the Philippines, but Frank G. Carpenter, writing from Manila to the Boston Globe, says: "So far our soldiers have been very healthy here in Manila, and also in all parts of the Philippines. have no doubt that these islands are among the most healthful of all tropical countries, and, for people who live we'll and take care of them selves, there is but little danger. The heat Is no greater than that of the United States in the summer"

The new Duke of Argyll ought to be very happy, according to the notions of some people. Hitherto he has been de- pendent for his support on the annuity of $30,000 received by his royal wife from the British treasury, though he has added something to his income by acting as managing partner in a firm of decorators in Chelsea. He now en- ters into the full possession of immense estates which yield an income of over $400,00O a year. He also becomes pos sessed of Inverary Castle, the ducal seat of the Campbells, and filled with an almost priceless collection of pie lures and historic treasures. He like wise becomes invested with larger number of titles and honors than any other subject of Queen Victoria, includ- ing dukedoms, earldoms, marquisates and baronies by the score, and, last but not least, the title of the supreme chief of Clan Campbell

The news comes from Abyssinia that extensive deposits of coal have been discovered in four different districts of that country. When Emperor Menelik was advised of the discovery of indica- tions of coal he took great interest in the new prospect opened up to his country and had the region closely ex- amined by a French mining engineer. The latter had samples of this coal shipped to France for trial, and it is said that tests showed it to be of excel lent quality. Should these deposits prove worth developing they will be of great value to the extensive steamship traffic through the Red Sea, as the sup ply of fuel for the coaling stations along that route could then be drawn from much nearer source than at present, thus saving the heavy freight which now has to be paid on the coal which the steamers take aboard there.
