And more deeply than ever was he

Of all the changing splendor of the

Ten years he has given now to these

about his furnaces as the world be-

To-day his name is on the lips of the

can praise him, a voice whose music,

praises Of things infinite. And SO
the JOY in his life and work is beyond
the assault of time and change.

| Quotations and Funny Stories Sometimes
Kill the Address.
I remember making an address in
my own state, illustrated-as I
thought-by a few opposite quota
tions, says Hon. William D. Faulke,
IN The Forum. The audience listened
attentively for more than two hours,
| made substantially the same speech
d few days later in a little country
town in Maine, but / noticed that my
hearers were restless and that num-
Der of them left the hall. Next morn
ing, while sitting on the porch Of the
village inn, | overheard two country
men who met in the dusty square

one of the other.

"Yaas."
fSHow was it?'
s1Oh, 'twa'n't no account. Twas

DO tell!p 9
The point of a story is often the
signal for an outburst, and no one
can deny the power Of opposite illus
tration. The parallels of the Bible
and the stories Of Lincoln have in
them pith and a point which could
not beas well made in any other way.
Yet many speakers are tempted, not
to make the story the illustration of
the speech, but to make the speech
mere potpourri Of stories. The man
who does this may be amusing. but
in the long run he will not be taken
seriously; and If he be unfamiliar
with his audience he is likely to tread
on somebody's toes without intend
ing it.
In the campaign when James D.
Williams and Benjamin Harrison
were opposing candidates for the gov
ernorship of Indiana, We republicans
used to make great fun of "Blue
Jeans, as we called him, ridieu1ing
his rustic manners and homespun
ways. We didn't make much by it,
for the people of Indiana were mostly
farmers; and after he had been elect
ed and had made an honest, respecta-
bic and sensible governor, our cam
paign jokes looked rather pitiful in
retrospect. One night [ spoke at a
small neighborhood meeting, and re-
peated to my audience the following
story which was going the rounds:
Mr.. Williams, who was then q
member of congress, was one day
washing his hands at one Of the lava
tories in the capital, when an attend
ant handed him three towels. He
sighed at such wanton extravaganza
and exclaimed:e "Why, down at my
farm / make a single towel last the
whole family a week" "
This was a pretty good story, but
for all that [ was astonished to see
that there was not a smile upon any
of the faces before me; indeed. the
countenances took on even deeper
gloom. On my way home, as We drove
through the woods, my companion
said to me:
You didn't make a great hit with
your story about Blue Jeans, family

WINDOW DRAPERIES.

These are the days when window
hangings need looking into. 1t is
time to discard the summer muslins
and put up something heavier in
their place. Everyone who has a
house or apartment is busy putting
it in order for winter occupancy, aud
at the same time striving to give the
rooms a coy atmosphere for a mod
crate outlay. Irish point laces are
as popular for window draperies this
fall as they were in former years.
and the designs are lovelier than
ever. 1t always seems as the seasons
come and go as though it would be
impossible to improve on present
styles, but the new things always
seem lovlier than the previous ones,
and so it follows that Irish point cur
tains are more beautiful than ever
before.

Mother and Nurse.
Among the angels there is one whose
duty
Is to select for every babe a
mother;
l marvel why he gave this blue eyed
beauty
To one, and empty handed passed
the other.
For one a heart of motherliness car
ries;
In other Stiffness and pride COM
mingle;
ries!
Alas, the welded girl whose heart
is single!
Was there in all the land no yearn-
ing mothers,
And in the angels heart no human
pity,
That he should choose this one from
all the others?
Were there no empty cradles in
the city?
What pathos lies in this, the angels
blunder!
A baby's lips, and none but nurse
to taste them!
Is Heaven SO rich in gifts like this,
wonder,
That angels can so prodigally waste
them!

Velvet Gowns.

Velvet costumes of all sorts-for
the street, for evening, for dinners,
for receptiOns-are to be generally
worn by all those who can afford the
luxury. One of the handsomest COM
binatiOns that can be imagined is
that material combined with genu-
inc Irish crochet. Many of the early
street costumes show Louis XIV.
coats, with waists of this same lace
worn beneath and allowing glimpses
to be caught at the front and be-
meath the sleeves. For elderly or
middle aged women such a costume
Is ideal. The shirt waist models are
new, and the charming in their way,
but there is dignity about the half
length coat that is particularly we'll
adapted to matronly needs. For
reception, dinner and evening wear
combinations with fllmiest net and
the like are already seen. A flounce
of velvet, with Chantilly net over
white above and a bodice of the net
with touches of velvet, makes one
advance model, and countless similar
ones will be seen. Richness and
splendor are the apparent watchword
of dame fashion. Whatever contrib
utes to give such effects will be free
ly used. Eastern embroideries are
feature of many cloth gowns. Beau
tifully bordered materials, the Dor
ders narrow but of exquisite coloring
and design, are shown in all the
shops. While masses of gold are not
to be used, lustrous threads are inter-
woven with color to make a most
striking effect. Black velvet ribbon
still holds it's place. Among a dozen
imported bodices seen, a generous
proportion showed the trimming used
in some way. A novel silk is trimmed
with embroidered edging of the same,
the opening of the design being run
with a narrow width.
A quite different use is two-inch
bands extending from the waist to the
shoulder, of an ecru bodice, so hold
ing the material in place. A third
design showed frilled drapery of
white chiffon, the edges of which
were finished with several rows of
the narrow sort. AS a rule evening
waists are elaborate. Two or more
materials go into their makeup, and
often there are touches of one or two
more, but lace which is to be much
used is at it's best when simply made.
The blouse referred to above is ad-
mirable. The material itself is beau
tiful in tone, texture and design. To
overlap it with any other would be

CABBAGE.

This is a much moderated veget-
able. at the present time, among the
ultra-refined, and yet it was adored
by the Egyptians, who erected affairs
to it and gave it the prominence
on the bill of fare accorded our ia
vorite, the oyster. Roman and Greek
writer, sage and physician, esteemed
it highly from a gourmand's point
of view or for it's medicinal value. 1t
is true that it's dietetic value is not
on account Of its nutritive elements,
but for it's medicinal saline properties
or juices.

Celery.

The cultivated celery has a mild
and delightful flavor. 1t is difficult
to digest when eaten raw, and for
this reason is not suited for the
weak or invalid unless cooked to
soften the woody fibre. The propre.
ties in the raw plant, however, are
medicinal and of benefit to the de-
bilitated. 1t may be given them I'M
cooked if the very tender stalks are
selected and grated, serving it as a
sauce rather than q vegetable.

Stuffed Turnips.

Choose turnips of uniform size,
peel them, cut off just enough of the
small end to make them stand firm,
then cut off the stem and scoop out
the inside. Chop fine a Bermuda
onion and enough mutton to fill the
turnips; add two tablespoonful of
we'll washed rice, a tablespoonful of
minced parsley and salt and pepper
to taste. Mix all together and fill
the, turnips, replace the tops and put
them into a saucepan that will not
crowd them; just cover with broth,

until tender; then add two level ia

Baked Pumpkin.

The round pumpkin is best for bak-
ing, and the smaller the better. Cut
into quarters if small and into slices
like a cantolupe if they are large.
Carefully remove the seeds. Place
the sections, with shells downward,
on the crate of the oven or lay them
in an oblong baking pan with just
enough water to cover the bottom of
the pan. Brush with melted butter
and bake until tender.

than vegetables, and the meats de-
termine what vegetables are to be
served.
Autumn is distinctly the game sea-
son, and there are certain vegetables
which seem most suitable accom-
paniments for this class of meats.
Nature evidently had distinct pur-
pose in view in supplying them at this
season. Conspicuous among these
vegetables are the turnip, pumpkin,
celery and cabbage.
The Turnip.
This vegetable is very much I'M
derrated and is considered rather a
vulgar and not very nutritious tuber.
But under cultivation it is an addi-
ton to the food list not to be de-
spised. Turnips vary in nutritive
quality and flavor. The Swede or
rutabaga variety is far more nut1i-
tive than the white, but the flavor of
tho latter kind is preferred as food
for man on account of the strong flo-
vcr of the former, which renders it
less palatable to most persons. Their
deficiency in food value makes them
better adapted for a vegetable to
serve with game, and also furnishes
the waste material and water that
the meat of game lacks. Turnips,
like cabbage, or other vegetables
with strong fiavors, when cooked in
proper manner, are as delicate as
other vegetables, but under bad treat
ment will not please the dainty eater.
The Romans treated the turnip in
the following manner: Pare and boil
it in an open vessel in plenty of
water until tender; then drain; press
out the water and season with rue,
cummin, pound in a mortar; then add
honey, vinegar, stock and steamed
or boiled grapes. Simmer all to-
gether and serve.

Tomato Catsup,

Use sound, ripe tomatoes, cut them
up, boil and rub through colander.
To every gallon of tomatoes use
two of mustard, one and half of
black pepper, quarter of a teaspoon
full cayenne or red pepper chopped
fine, cup of brown sugar and a pint
of good cider vinegar. Boil gently
four hours, stirring frequently to
prevent burning. Set back on the
stove and add tablespoonful of
cloves and two glasses of currant
or tart grape jelly is you have the
home made Mix we'll, fill small bot
ties while hot and seal tightly; keep
in cool, dark, dry place.
Baked Fillet of Veal-Take fill
let Of veal weighing two or three
pounds; remove the bone and fill the
cavity with dressing made Of one
cup of bread crumbs, half of small
onion minced, one tablespoonful Of
minced parsley, one-half teaspoonful
salt, one.half teaspconful pepper and
one-half tablespoonful butter; mois-
ten until of right consistency with
tomato sauce or stewed tomatoes. Tie
into a round shape. Dredge with
salt, pepper and -four. Put strips of
pork over the top and half cup OF
water in the pan. Bake two hours in
moderate oven; haste often. Ac-
company the veal with canned peas
when fresh ones are out of season.
In carving this meat do not attempt
to slice like a roast. but cut down
in pieces, putting little of the dress
ing, gravy and some of the peas on
each plate; the peal lend delightful
flavor if served on the same plate
with the meat. The next day you
can make an excellent luncheon dish
by stewing the trimmings Of the veal,
gravy and dressing. in a pint of
water for an hour. Strain, lay in the
meat cut in thick slices. let heat
thoroughly; if any peas are left over,
add them a few minutes before serv-
ing.
Note.-A jar of preserved ginger
is comparatively inexpensive. and
from it may come many desserts for
family of five. With waters and
a cup of coffee it forms ''''-.--

Pumpkin,

This member of the gourd family
is not regarded with much favor
col load, but in America it is used
very considerably in some locations
as a vegetable. and at the great ma
tional holiday feast it shares the hon
o:s with the Thanksgiving turkey
and is far more appropriate than
mince pie and plum pudding, as the
early settlers found the pumpkin
growing in the Indian corn fields,
ana it is therefore typical of the sea-
son aud occasion. It needs deal
CT dressing to give it the relish that
has made it an established favorite
for autumn fare in the form of pump
kin pie

PEACHES.

The day of the luscious and
blushing peach will soon be with
us again. Growers in Middle
Georgia expect to gather a few
crates this week, and by the last
of the week following shipments
will become general. The crop is
scarcely half that of last year, but
the fruit promises to be much
larger, and of finer quality. There
is little doubt that, with a good
season for gathering, better prices
will be obtained throughout, and
the total crop net larger cash
profit to the growers than the
phenomenal crop of last year. 1t
is estimated that the total crop for
the section tributary to Triton will
be less than fifty cars.

AT JACKSONVILLE.

Mr.. Oliver H. King, of Marietta,
the special agent for Georgia and
Florida, of the Aetna Insurance
Company, is in Jacksonville, Fla. !,
adjusting fire losses and paying
out about $4,000 per day. In
writing to DR.. Strong, of this
place, he says:
'To try to tell you of the burnt
district, would be impossible. All
| can say is the town was literally
wiped off the map, even the brick
were burned to such extent that
they will be used only for making
a bulkhead in the river. The rows
of beautiful trees are all gone,
leaving only blackened trunks
like blighted forest. The hun
dreds of chimneys standing have
the appearance of so many monu-
ments in a cemetery. The place
is indeed desolate. But turning
from the burnt district to the por-
ton of the city left, you see thou
sands of people, drays. carriages,
wagons and every thing moving on
a grand rush. The few hotels left
are crowded with travelling men,
architects, builders, contractors
and lumber dealers, all here to
sell something or make contracts
to rebuild. The insurance COM
panies have been particularly
liberal in the matter of settling
losses. Most all the property was
under-insured, relying as they did
on the efficiency of their fire de-
partment, consequently to the
companies the losses were gener.
ally total and soon settled"

The effect of this decision is to
affirm the constitntionality of the
Foraker act and to give Congress
power to deal with a newly acquir-
ed territory in such a manner as
the legislative branch may consid-
er suitable for the new territory.
The declaration also has the effect
of declaring that the new insular
possessions do not by virtue of the
the treaty of cession acquire all the
privileges and rights Of the con-
stitution.
