CHURCH IN A RAILWAY CAR.
An Arrangement by Which Religious
Devotees in Russia Can Excuse
Travel on the Sabbath.

The Russians are naturally devout
people and even when taking a long
Journey almost always contrive to
spend the Sabbath in some place where
they can attend church, says London
exchange.
The first travellers on the TRANSIT
berian railway, however, soon found
that this could not easily be done, and
many of them were sorely grieved at
the thought that if they wanted to
travel in this way they would have to
give up some of their customary devo-
tions. A happy idea then occurred to
one of them and he at once set about
carrying it into execution. Going to
the railroad officials, he suggested that
a special carriage be set aside for
church services, and so eloquently did
he argue in favor of the project that
he soon carried his point, with the re-
suit that a few days later so-called
church car was placed at the disposal
of travellers.
This car is seemingly much like any
other, and yet it is widely different.
Over the entrance is cross and much
of the exterior carving and other orna-
mentation has a distinctly religious
significance. The interior has been
fitted with all the accessories of
church, and anyone entering it would
see at once that it was intended for
divine worship.

Bronchitis is the most fatal disease
in England next to consumption,
and then heart disease, pneumonia,
and scarlatina.
The average duration of human life
is about 80 years. One quarter of all
the people born in the world die be-
fore 6, and one-half before 16.
The substance called caramel is
only cane sugar heated to te1npera-
ture of 40, when it undergoes sew
eral important chemical changes.
The length of the night at any
time of the year may be found by
multiplying by two the time of the
suns rising. Doubling the time of
its setting will give the length of the
day.
A period of five seconds between
a flash of lightning and thunder

never been heard over IA miles from
the flash, though artillery has been
heard at 12O miles.
Sven Hedin, the explorer, has dis

life is out of the question. In wad-

companions had their clothing quick
ly coated with salt. The bed of the
lake appeared to consist of salt, and
the density of the water was high.

reason the wise woman sticks to the
artificial flowers even though she
could well afford the cost of the nat
ural blossoms if she desired them, and
the would-be fashion leaders are seek
ing for a new and more popular nov
city.
But while the wise woman has con-
fined her dress trimmings to natural
flowers she has not confined herself
to the limited use of them that was
in vogue at the opening of the season.
At that time a few blossoms on the
low corsage to match the natural ones
worn in her hair constituted about
the extent of the vogue, but to-day
this limited use has given place to long
wreaths that are woven upon the
skirt, around the waist and shoulders
and allowed to fall in long ends to
the very hem of the skirt A number
of such gowns add much to the pic
turesqueness of a brilliantly lighted
ballroom. They are now the vogue of
the hour at Newport, and will prob
ably remain so until the close of the
season, but they constitute one of
those fads that seldom last through
more than one season.
The most popular flowers for this
sort of elaboration are forget-me-nots,
daisies, roses, poppies, geraniums and
lilies of the valley, with maiden-hair
fern and smilax for foliage. There are
a few who have gone into the elabora-
ton more extensively and have used
orchids, which even though but ar

vet petals are centered with yellow,
falling from the left shoulder.
Another pretty bodice is composed
of soft cream silk and guipure lace,
trimmed with vivid pink and scarlet
geraniums. The silk is in deep folds
around the bodice, with a pointed
front and back basque effect. The
lace is in a short bolero, with a large
bunch of geraniums on the right Shout
der. A long trail of tender green
smilax reaches to the waist line, with
a bunch of velvet geraniums to finish.
With the flower decorated toilettes
for evening wear should go the flow
cred muslin gowns that are considered
chic for the afternoon. The simple
charm of these gowns is often supple
mented by some sort of fancy silkcoat,
either fitted or loose. The ideal mus
lin gown to wear with such a coat is
ruff1ed from the hem to the knee. Mar
row plaitings overlapping one an
other in the old-fashioned manner are
especially in harmony with the loose
sacque.

HOMES FOR WORKERS
Kenosha CWis.) Manufacturers AIDE
Novel Plan to Attract Factory
Men to Their City.

Proft-sharing on a novel basis is
to be given trial by 10 of the lead
ing industrial plants in Kenosha,
Wis, as the managers of the plants
have formed a cooperative associa-
ton for the purpose of bringing in
laborers and to make the city
model manufacturing town. The
plan is to purchase large tract of
land on which will be built homes for
1000 laborers. These homes will be
sold to the men at the actual cost Of
building. They will be located near
the factory district, and fitted with
all modern conveniences. In order to
encourage matrimony among the
workmen these houses will be sold
or rented, and in the latter case the
rent paid will apply on the purchase
price of the house. To further the
plan large clearinghouse will DE
erected to accommodate several
hundr ed workmen, at which 1t will
be possible to secure board and
rooms at low rates. One thousand
men are now needed for the factories
in Kenosha, and this unique plan has
been hit upon to draw people to the

All negotiations for a settlement of

The union men will now try to tie up
all the mills in the combine, while the

form of trimming. 1t is the green ferns

ural state as a rule, and so arranged
that they may be replaced for each
new occasion.
One Of these flower decorated gowns
is of pure white embroidered Swiss,
trimmed with mauve orchids. 1t is
made with a square decollete bodice,
with very narrow straps over the
shoulders. The bodice is slightly
pouched in front, and fastened down
the back. On the left shoulder is
large bunch of orchids, from which
a wreath of the flowers crosses the cor

from there falls in two long trails to

}lIH the progression OF the sea-
wv son the vogue for flowers as
decoration for evening gowns
increases, until it has now seemingly
reached it's height. Before the resort
season opened there was noticeable
demand for artificial flowers for trim
ming evening gowns, and many of the
port at the opening of the season were
ornamented in this way. But 1 do not
remember having seen any of them at
any time at the first evening party
which could equal even the simplest
of those being worn now. At first the
flowers were entirely artificial, though
of the finest quality, but now the
foliage is often natural, and on few
of the costumes worn by those who
like to be considered leaders in fash
ions whirl, and who usually intro
duce the striking, and oftentimes
startling, novelties have gone so far
as to use both natural flowers and
foliage. Such scheme of elaboration
is not practical, however, as the nat
ural flowers, unlike the natural TO-
hage, will not last through the festiv-
tiles of the evening, and costume
that is startling in it's brilliancy of
natural color will usually be sadly
bedraggled affair before the gayeties
of the evening are nearly over. For this

To argue question intelligently it

Like everything else in the world, golf
can be overdone, and it is overdone
by many of its votaries. Pursued with
reason and under proper conditions,
golfng is beneficial to most people,
