Religion Is a precious treasure, and therefore anything that will promote it is all right. We don't know how sue cessful in promoting religion the at fractions that some churches have of fered to Sunday bicyclers have been, but we presume they have done much. A church in Indiana is about to do something which seems well planned to allure Instead of adding a steeple to the church building, the money is to be used in furnishing the roof with a palm garden, where serviqes can be held dur ing the hot weather. It has not yet been decided to provide anything but the garden, but perhaps if religion seems to need it some of the things which help make roof garden attrac- tive will be added.
 Just now there seems to be a mild prejudice against Sunday golf, but judging from what has happened we may yet see churches providing golf links for the use of Sunday players and advertising them as an inducement to hear a short and beautiful sermon. an elegant prayer and some fine music.

 many jackets or jacket bodices that are
 cut along the general lines of the one shown here There's no end of em. and one is as good as another so the fronts are long. That's what counts. The long line of that front becomes, to the observers eye, the wearer's waist length, and the trick is done
 Dropped belts have this same tenden- cy, and one will have her belt droop in front anyhow if she tried to be in style,
 but they don't have so marked an effect as long jacket fronts. Make sure of the length, and cut material and trimming may be to taste, though be sure the or namentation doesn't break in on the length of line. Better let it be In un- broken vertical lines. Perhaps the fab ric and finish of this gown will please. It was putty colored nuns yelling trim med with white lawn run with black velvet ribbon. Ribbon alone trimmed skirt hem and collar.

The belt is supposed to show the least bit at the back. and here the touch of gold is very effective. A belt of patent leather made wide at the back and narrowing sharply at the front is also good selection, the fast ening being of the pulley order which has little bulk. FLORETTE.

TWO HORSEMEN MEET.

The Outcome of a Discussion as to the
 Age ot a Maine Steed. /, MaineS David Harum came into the village the other day. He was looking for a trade He sat in his muddy old wagon with his back bent and his el- bows on his knees The horse that he drove had hiD-bones that looked like broken springs in a hair-cloth sofa. The good housewife could have done her weeks washing on the corrugatons on his sides. His eyes had the base 1 look of one who has gone through every- thing that can by any possibility be coming that way and so has nothing more to fear. The old man was driving with knotted rope tied to the end of a stick.
 i "Clck clcll Gid-dap, Ebenezer" he | kept saying, and EbeneZer may have | heard him and he may have felt the | slap of the knotted rope but if he did, l there was no symptom to indicate it., | either in the cant of his ears or the ac- 1 celeration oi hl gait.
 The old man suddenly pulled up No. he didn't pull up. He said Whoa" :" The old horse always carries one ear back to hear a whoa. He stopped so suddenly that the old man was precipi- tated forward, But he caught the dash CT with both hands and was able to save himself from falling on to his nose on the road
 As he hung there he said to the man standing on the sidewalk:
 Most willing hoss l ever had, Isaac. A woman can drive him anywhere. Case there's any trouble with the rig gin any time, all any one has got to do is to say Whoa and there ye are. No danger of bein' all smashed up with him. What ye got in the hoss kind now, 1saac?"
 Wal, I've got two;-there's that gray boss that Bill Anderson used to own that I got in the way of trade. Then I've got black mare, but I don't be- lieve the wimmen folks will want to part with the black one, for they've made kind of a pet out of it."
 The old man took a chew of tobacco and settled himself on the seat with his lega crossed. Said he:
 q don't spose we're specially back ward about changing the gray one, so bet ye git the right price for her, Isaac?" 1fh
 Wal, I s'pose I might listen a while if any one talked trade"
 Seems s if this hoss here might mate up pretty we'll with the black one?"
 I'm afraid he's a bit gant, Hiram. You know that black one Is chunky littli bunch"

The situation in China doesn't i'm prove, and before 1t does there may be very serious trouble. But 1t Is encour- aging to see that there-is no disposition at Washington to get this country into
 trouble that it can avoid. It is an- nounced that at the cabinet meeting yesterday it was decided to stand by the policy which has been entered upon of pushing measures for the protection of the lives and property of American citizens, and of acting Independently as far as possible It may be tha. the in unison for the protection of all for eign residents in the disturbed districts, but this is to be the extent of the Amer ican activity. It is to be confined sole ly to the protection and safeguarding of our own interests and those of cur citizens. The Chinese government will be looked to- under the general law of the comity of the nations, to restore order and to make such reparation as is proper From all political schemes in which any of the Powers may be- come involved the United States is to hold aloof.
 This is reasonable and safe policy. The people of this country are ready to mind their own business, for awhile at least.

So many New York women have de- l fled the census takers, even when the latter were backed up by policemen, that Supervisor Wilbur swears that he will have a test case that will strike ter TOT. To this end he is looking for a woman who Is of sufficient standing to compel attention and who has been con- spicuously defiant of the law. The fol- lowing episode illustrates how one New
 York woman looks at the census. Tn
 what year were you born?" asked the
 enumerator. Tn 1S46," answered the
 woman. Then you are 54,' said the enumerator. "Indeed I am not; I am 52," she retorted sharply And yet you were born in 1S46?' That is what said, sir" Then you are 54." No, 52." Well but how do you account for the additional two years?" 'I don't account for them. I don't have to. It's none of my business. I was born in 1S46, and am 52' years old, and that is all there is about it. know my own age, I SUD- pose"
 And yet some folks say that women cannot reason and are not reasonable.

THE PROFITI SUEZ CANAL.

If this country ever has Panama or Nicaragua canal, and if it pays as well as the Suez canal does, it will be a
 good investment. The annual report of the Suez Canal Company shows that the receipts last year exceeded those of 1898, which were 12,0O0,O 900 francs ahead of all previous records, by 6,500,000 francs, so that the thirtieth anniversary of the opening of the canal was marked by unprecedented prosperity. More over, whereas the increase of 1898 was mainly due to a revival of Indian ex- ports, to shipping in ballast, and to the transport of troops, these clements of traffic decreased in 1899 or were station ary, the increase being the result of economic developments of the far East, Australasia, and East Africa. The ag- gregate receipts were 94,000.000 francs, and the working expenses, reserve fund, etc., 40000,000 francs. This will allow of a dividend of 10S francs. Official fig ures show that the average time of transit for vessels passing through the canal was B hours 3S minutes, the in- crease of 30 minutes being due to guar antine regulations, which precluded night navigation by ships not having the electric light. The number of ves- sels using the canal for the first time was 327, French vessels show an in crease of 15, 400 tons. The total number of vessels passing through the canal was 3,607, as compared with 3.503 in 1898; 2,310 of these were English, 3S7 German, 226 French, 206 Dutch, 101 Aus trian, 69 Italian, 65, Japanese 61 Nor wegian and Swedish, 55 Russian. 39 Spanish, 26 Turkish, 26 American, 21 Danish, 5 Belgian, Greek, 8 Portu-
