Washington, Aug p. "A dispatch
from Admiral Remey at Che Foo
announces that the American

imperial city of Pekin and were at
tacking the forbidden city. The

to-day continued by Judge Cantrill
until October 2, the beginning of the
term of the Scott county Circuit
Court, Coils. L. J. Crawford and h.

Coffman, in which he swore that
Youtsey was suffering from a Sc
we're case of typhoid-malarial fever

THE SERVANT DIFFICULTY.

Every man thinks he can solve the
servant problem Here are the rules
laid down by a man for the guidance
Of mistresses in their relations with
their servants:
Run your household on business prin-
ciples; servants should have regular
hours of service daily.
Complete freedom after work is done.
Do not be too pretentious with only
one maid of all work.
One afternoon and evening out each
week.
Clean. wholesome bedroom; substan-
tial food.
Social privileges within reasonable
discretion. If you have a young, good
looking. capable servant, she probably
wants a husband some day. Do not
drive her into the street to get courted.
Avoid interference with her religious
and private life.
Do not permit familiarity from the
bakers, grocers and butchers boys.
Insist on respectful treatment to your
servants and set them the example.
Avoid personal supervision while off
duty.
Do not let sIipshod. careless work go
unnoticed. A good mistress is always
critical. firm ard exacting. but she al
ways appreciates conscientious effort

merry displays for outdoor wear
No recent radical change in dress has
created quite so much comment as that
which marks the decline of the severe
and prim riding habit. The close fit
ting black cloth habit, consisting of
plain basque bodice, relieved by a tiny
white linen band visible at the neck
and sleeves, with a still palmer skirt
topped off by a somber black derby,
has ''seen its finish" In its stead we
have a happy combination of the pic
turesque and practical which is an echo
of the ruling spirit in the world of
dress.
The latest riding habits are blue
broadcIoth, serge or satin finished la
dies cloth, as you please. But blue
they must be, with a touch of color in
vest form on the coat and many rows
of stitching on the skirt.
And this is not all. The soft felt
sombrero has put to rout any other
style of headgear. There has never
seemed any real necessity for the aboli-
ton of furbelows where a habit was
concerned, and 1 think the innovation
will be liked by many, for, after all,
men do dote upon the filmy, frou frou
things women wear. A man may like
to chum a whole season with a shirt
waist girl who affects mannish dress
traits, but invariably falls head over
heels in love at the end of that time
with the piazza girl' who is swathed
in dainty muslin and laces.
All the characteristics I've mentioned
of the new riding habit will be observed
by reference to the illustration. 1t is Of
blue broadcloth, with skirt trifle more
amply cut than formerly and is heav-
lily stitched with black. The coat has
shawl collar and tails that round off

fen ia learn to dance than to have neg
lected her golf or the technicalities of

The sportswoman, like all of her sex,
is a creature of whinS and caprices.
In early summer she is content to run
her auto. swim a little, golf with vigor
and maybe take a squirt at tennis, but
with the waning season she bethinks
herself of more active work and longs
for a hunting trip. Hence we find
shooting expeditions making ready for
the Maine woods or Adirondack re-
gions. with women as their leading
spirits.
This new type of femininity is, how
ever, true to the traditions of the sex,
and does not overlook the all important
question of clothes. The problem 'of
how to appear picturesque and yet be
practical is more easily solved than
formerly, thanks to the tailor's quick

Shooting is the momentary fad, ana,

consists of blouse and skirt. 1t is of

One Of the chief disadvantages of the
sport is found in the length of time it
takes to master the use of the blade.
An eminent professor has said that it
takes ten years to become a proficient
fencer. Proficiency, however, is not
the aim of the women who indulge. 1t
is to grow thin that they use the foils.
This can be accomplished whether they
be expert or not, as each motion brings
into play the muscles around the alb
domen, where the flesh does persistent
ly accumulate. The correct fencing
garb consists of boomers, a short skirt
and sweater, though some women pre-
fer loose flannel blouse. 1t is a grace
full accomplishment and the most ex-
hilarating of all indoor sports.
The wearing of the big black hat,
which threatened to become epidemic
all summer has broken out in full
blast. 1t now adds two new coquettish
features in its waving plumes and mar
row velvet strings. Along with this
latest edition comes the sash or scarf,
without which no dress can be consid-
cred chic. 1t does not necessarily fol-
low that the sash is tied at the back
nor that the scarf is broad. These ad-
JunctS hang from the bodice over the
shoulder and down the front or side as
often as at the back. They are narrow
or wide, as you choose. but hanging
ends of some sort are imperatively de-
manded. 1t is hard to reconcile this
craze for sashes and the known entree
OF full skirts to the slender style, -
which, it is said, is to be more en-
phatically wraithlike than ever before.
Undoubtedly madame will be able to
explain how these conflicting fashions
may be merged into the desirable, and
then shall tell all about it.
Two facts that should most proni-
nently impress the onIookar are that
sequined dresses have completely van
ished for out of door wear and tulle as
millinery trimming is in its decad-
ence. Lace insertions are the usurpers
of the paillettes Office, and taffeta is
found much newer and more charming
than gauze. y masSing together Of

THE missionary is being greatly

THE missionary is being greatly
to be pitied. He has no favor with
the heather abroad or the heather
at home. When trouble begins with an
unchristianiZed nation, it is a rule for
the unchristianized at home TO lay the
trouble at the door of the missionaries
and raise a protesting wall against the
class as devoid of tact useless cunber-
ers even of barbarian earth and de-
vourers of the public pence better de-
voted to the enlightenment OF dark cor
ners of the home land
Fabulous tales are told of the lives of
ease led by the missionaries, their lack
of education and bigotry; yet, odd to
say. when the occidental barbarian, a
stranger in a strange land, looks about
for society and sympathy, it is to the
humble home of the missionary that he
makes his way.

the world, from darkest Africa to the
most extreme points of Patagonia and
the cherries solitudes of Finland and
Labrador. The advance of years has
seen a wonderful advancement in the
methods of converting the heather.
With the harmIessness of the dove, the
missionary has tried to combine the
guile of the serpent. The old fashioned

and address the gaping throng. He
would then deliver q theological dis
course, suited or i'll suited to the con-

telligence of the missionary. That this
method has its advantages there is am
pie historical evidence. st. Paul, st.
Patrick, ST. Augustine and other an
cient inspirers of modern missions, as
we'll as the great Baptist clergyman
and missionary, the Rev. Adoniram
Judson, were successful exponents Of
this school.
The new missionary spirit is one that
strives to build spiritual development
on that of bodily. and intellectual
growth. 1t is on the principle that to
the soul of a sick or starving man the
most potent religious argument is a
bottle of efficient medicine or a loaf of
bread. The best way to prove to the
heather that you can help him spfr-
itually is to aid him physically and in
tellectually. AS a result, whenever
there is a great famine, as in India,
the churches do their best to feed the
hungry, and after the inner man Is
