woman's Incroyable Cape.

Historic influences are apparent on
every side. The very charming May
Manton cape illustrated in the large
drawing owes it's inspiration to the
Directoire, as Is shown by the big
pointed revers, but in common with
most revivals includes features that
are all its own. The material from
which the original is made is black
taffeta with applique Of cream point
de Venise and ties Of white chiffon,
and is lined with white satin; but peau
de sole OF lightweight cloth can be
substituted with perfect correctness.
The under or foundation cape is
dart-ftted and extends we'll over the
shoulders and Is trimmed with the
four tiny bias frills. The outer cape
is shorter and plain about the edge
and is trimmed with the lace applique
only; while the big revers turn back
and are faced with the lace and edged
with q single frill. At the neck is a
deep turnover collar that meets the
revers, to which the chiffon ties are
attached. If a palmer effect is de-
sired the outer cape can be omitted,
the under alone made from either
silk or cloth, tailor-stitched, CT trimmed
as simply or as elaborately as one
may choose.

Fishing at Crystal Palace.

London is establishing at the Crystal
Palace a fishing preserve where any
one who wishes to fish with flies for
trout may have that delightful pleas
ure. One of the lakes, which is sever
al acres in extent. is being stocked
with American rainbow trout. Two
hundred of these have been taken
from the Aquarium in which they
were reared and placed in the waters
of the lake. The water is rather mud
dy, and the trout themselves would
not call it fresh if they could tell what
they think about it. II they thrive
in the lake the experiment will be con-
sidcred success. though for the first
year angling is allowed the trout will
be taken off the hook Immediately they
are caught and replaced in the water.
The fish are not feed artificially, but
are left to find their own food in the
lake. The only thing to be feared is
the possibility of an outbreak of gill
fever, caused by stirring up the mud
at the bottom in dry weather. when
the water is low. This would sufo-
cate the fish.

the scalding steam poured In on the

jumped for the ladder. Phelps reached
it first, took one step and stopped. He
jumped aside and shouted: You go

Stansbury sprang up the ladder and
escaped with slight burns about the
face and legs. Though Phelps fol-
lowed at his heels his act Of heroism
cost him his life. Both men were
being cooked when Phelps jumped
aside. BY the time he had followed
Stansbury up the ladder the flesh was
dropping from his limbs. He was
cooked alive, and with supreme effort
dragged his scalded body from the
manhole. He lived for two hours in
terrible agony, but did not let a groan

he quietly. "He is married" Phelps

SALISBURY FEARS IRELAND
British Premier Declares "Any Meas
IRE Of Independence" Dangerous.
Thinks q Dublin Government Would Take
Advantage Of Troubles Elsewhere
To Strike For Freedom.

London.-The Marquis Of Salisbury,
speaking at the banquet Of the Nom
conformist Unjonist Association, said:
"If home rule had passed in 1893.
what would England's position, with
hostile Irish Government in Dublin,
have been to-day? What would our
position have been if we not only had
to meet the Transvaal and the Orange
Free State, but also an equally hostile
Ireland by our side?
1--WE know now from our South Afri-
can experience the danger Of letting
Ireland have a measure Of independ-
enee. We know now that If we al
lowed those who are leading Irish pol
itics unlimited power OF making prep
arations against US we should have to
begin by conquering Ireland, If ever
we had to fight any other power"
In. the first part Of his address the
Premier said:
1T Is sad retrospect when we
think of the number Of young lives
that have been quenched, the splendid
hopes cut short. and the amount Of
blood shed in the war in South Africa.
1t is a grieyous retrospect. Yet from
it any suggestions Of wrong on the
part of the empire is absolutely alb
sent. Indeed, there are circumstances
which can make every lover of his
country look back with exultation and
gratitude upon the two years just
passed.
"These circumstances have been able
to show that the spirit Of our country
men has burned as bright as at any
other period in our history.
"When I was in the Foreign Office
used to hear not infreQuently that
our time had passed, that our star had
set, that we were living on the valor of
those who had gone before. The war
In South Africa has shown the strength
of England, which was never more
conclusively shown. There Is no pow
er in the world but now knows that If
it dehed the might of England it would
defy one Of the most formidable ene-
mics it could encounter"

A Woman Saddler.

1t is more than likely that the only
woman saddler in America is Ger
man woman, who carries On her trade
in Florida. Her husband was sad
dler and harness-maker, with Il shop
beside the little house in which they
lived. He never made money, but the
two lived frugally and contentediy un-
til his death. Then there was trouble.
The widow owned 4 small place. but
had no money to live upon. and the
sum to be procured by selling the shop
would not count for much. So she de-
termined TO continue her husbands
business on her own account, retaining
his apprentice. In course of time she
mastered the trade and built up a
tlourishins business, long ago acqulr-
ing q much larger bank account than
her husband had ever dreamed Of GO
cumulating.

Lot God Into Your Mirth.

A taper plunged into q jar Of oxygen
blazes more brightly. Without Christ's
presence. earth's joys at their best and
brightest are like some fair landscape
in shadow. When He comes to hallow
them-as He always does when He is
invited-they are like the same scene
when the sun blazes out on it, flashes
from every bend of the ripping river,
brings beauty into shady corners, opens
the flowers, and sets all the birds sing
ing in the sky. Joys on which He can
let the sunshine of His smile fall will
be bettered and prolonged thereby; joys
ON which He cannot, are not for His
servants to meddle with. If we cannot
make the sign Of the cross over our
mirth. and ask Him to bless it, we had
bettersbe sorrowful than glad. If we
keep Him out of our mirth, "the end Of
that mirth is heaviness," however jubi-
liant may be it's beginning. But Christ
cannot only change the water of human
Joy into the wine Of heavenly gladness,
He can also drop an elixir into the cups
Of sorrow, and change them into cups
Of blessing and salvation. One drop Of
that potent influence can sweeten the
bitterest draught, even though many a
tear has fallen into it. He can make
Marah into Elm, and can calm sorrow
into a willing acquiescence not wholly
unlike happiness. Jesus will repeat
"this beginning Of miracles" in every
sad heart that trusts to Him.-Alexan-
der Maclaren, D. D.

CHINESE FEAR OF AN ECLIPSE.
And How q Clever Missionary Made Use
OF the Fact.


And How q Clever Missionary Made Use
Of the Fact.
In the New" Lippincott, Rev.
Frederic Poole, missionary to China,
writes of some thrilling adventures
which he and his wife experienced
there. His quick wit in using an
eclipse Of the moon to avert personal
violence is here quoted:
II looked up, but the sky was cloud
less, and through the clear atmosphere
the stars spanked like diamonds.
Casting my eyes across the dark
blue expanse, my attention was ar
rested by the fact that the moon had
assumed a most peculiar shape, and
while this all happened in less time
than it takes to tell, yet 1 distinctly
remember the sense Of perplexity
which this celestial phenomenon pro-
duced.
"The sensation was brief. and was
succeeded by a positive certainty. 1t
was an eclipse, thank God! and in
this I saw a glimmer Of hope.
II knew with what suspicious
dread the Chinese regard lunar
eclipse, and determined to work upon
that well-grounded fear. Stepping for
ward to the PROV of our boat, revolv-
er. in hand, 1 raised my hands to heav-
en- and fired two shots at the moon,
and with q hysterical laugh I cried:
"'Look! look there!
"Involuntary every face was uplift-
ed. The effect was magical. The
shouting ceased, the stones dropped
from their hands, and an awesome
fear took possession of them. Already
the spectacle had been observed by the
inhabitants of the town, and the very
dogs were responding to their peculiar
canine instinct and were furiously
barking in harmony with the general
CONSERVATION. Gongs were being beat
en-. tire-cra ckers exploded. and drums
of every description belabored with
the belief that is universal among the
Chinese that it is only noise, and plen-
ty Of it, that will frighten aw&y the
dragon that is consuming the moon
The deafening din is kept up until
the eclipse has passed, and the natives
are jubilant in the conviction that they
have succeeded in soaring the rapa-
cious monster away, and under such
circumstances who could prove to
them that they had not?
This was the sight that paralyzed
our tormentors. and with terrified
haste they skunk away to join the anti
dragon demonstration in the town,
while I remained motionless. with my
glistening revolver menacing the moon;
and that perfectly natural phenomen-
on In the heavens, SO awe-inspiring to
the Chinese, is undoubtedly attributed
to me and my noisy revolver to this
day by the inhabitants Of that inhos'
pitablc Chinese town."

WORDS OF WISDOM.
is immortal.

Influence is immortal.
Cheap success is ever too dear. -
There is no gain without giving.
Fast living is really but slow dying.
Benefcence is better than benevol-
ence.
Ease ensues only from earnest en-
deavor.
Love is a conviction that supersedes
the senses.
The runaway tongue raises the dust
Of scandal.
Regret cannot bring the arrow back
to the bow.
What is morally wrong can never be
politically right.
Often he who most fears life is least
afraid Of death.
He who is seeking comfort cannot
win the conflict.
A diamond must remain dirt if it be
not willing to lose half itself.
When a man turns the light on 9TH
ers he must not expect to stay in the
shade himself.
If men were as anxious to do right
as they are to get their rights the
world would be righted.
The man who seeks to pillow on
popular applause finds it hard to sleep
for fear the bubble will burst.-Ram' s

A Prayer for Gentleness.

We thank Thee, Heavenly Father, for
Thy gentleness. which is both our ex-
ample and delight. Thy pity and long
suffering deepen assurance that Thou
Iookest upon us with a Fathers heart of
love. Forgive us that we have impa-
tiept thoughts Of life which Thou hast
appointed for our teaching and that We
find it so hard to forgive when Thou
hast freely parioned our transgressions.
Give us power to labor and to over
come. Help us to Use our strength in
gentlcness. Teach us how to under
stand and sympathize. May we speak
kindly think charitably and look hope
fully seeking in all simplicity Of obe-
dience to love our neighbor as ourself.
So make us like our Lord in truth and
genteness and use us in Thy service

Gsniallty of Gods Love.

Our lives are too often graves in which
the best possibilities of spiritual beauty
and strength lie sleeping. Perhaps not
one of us is living at his best. There are
unteveloped possibilities Of usefulness in
every ones heart and hand. Many of
our lives are like the trees in orchards
ana Forests, all over the land these early
April days. waiting for the warm sun
shine and gentle rains to call out their
foliage and fruits. We need the warm
south wind of Gods love and of the
Holy Spirit, to WOO out the blessed poSsi-
bilities that are sleeping in our lives. We
need Easter in our hearts, a resurrection
which shall cause us to arise and shine
and put on our beautiful garments.-J.

Duncan, my lover, was fair to see,
Stately and tall as the dark pine tree;
Black was his eye as the deep midnight;
His arm was strong and his step was light;
His words were kind and his laugh rang
free;
And oh! he was all the world to me!
But he marched away through the narrow

The days were long and the nights were

For the battle was fought and the battle

And Charlie Stuart's an outlaw now,
With price in gold on his bonnie. brow;
And never the watchers in brae and glen
Shall welcome the coming of Charles men.
And Duncan, my lover, my life, my light,
Was the first to fall in that bitter fight.
With Scotland's banner clasped close in

They laid him to sleep in that stranger

The Holy Spirit ths 1ndwellIng God.

It still is useful. and sometimes neces-

Spirit is not an emanation or an in
fuence, but 8 person; as real "a person
as our Lord or as any one Of ourselves
The influence of the Spirit, when we
feel it, is not like that of a mere abb

like that of any other person who is not

Falling Out of Your Boots,

The fact that persons who fall great
distances often lose their boots in the
descent has not yet been explained.
Perhaps the most recent case is that
of Mr.. Charles James. of st. Agnes,
who was unfortunate enough to fall q
distance of 120 feet in Polbreen mine.
During the fall both his boots (Which
had been tightly laced came off and
were discovered in the shaft fathoms
above him. The phenomenon is not
confined to miners. I know a case of
a young woman falling down
plump" losing her boots in the same
peculiar manner.-Corpish Post.

Aggravating Spiritual Ills.

The wheel of IN engine has dead
points and centres. where the engine can
exert no direct power over the machin-
cry. The wheel has to rely on the i'm
pulse already received to carry it past
the dead point. 1t goes over this point
by the force Of habit. The soul reaches
dead points in its spiritual history. Per-
haps some great trial has come. some
change in circumstances; perhaps there
is a temporary loss of interest; if one
considers only the state of his feelings
today. he wpuld desert his closet and
place Of prayer. OF course the effect
Of this would be to aggravate the spirit
ual ill whence, it comes. Then is the
time when religious habit is invaluable
1t carries the man past the dead point
keeps him in the path of duty; and soon
the way Of duty becomes also the way
Of happiness.-Helpful Thoughts.
