TO sECEDE FROM SYNOD.
Movement of English Evangelical
Lutheran Ministers.

NEW YORK. Sept. 2L-The English
Evangelical Luthern ministers, the con.
ference of which has just come to a
close in Christ church, Brooklyn. have
taken decisive steps to form an English
synod of churches to secede from the
present synod. The action taken by
she conference will affect 30 churches in
this and neighboring states.
A communication. signed by all the
pastors represented in the ministerlum.
is to be sent TO the Rev, DR.. George @.
Haas, president of the New York synod,
asking for a letter of dismissal from
that body and certificate of character.
From the arguments of some OF the Sc
ceders it appeared that, whatever ac-
tion is taken with regard to the COM
munication by the New York synod, it
will not affect the determination of the
English to form a synod Of their own.

LONDON, Sept. 27.-In an editorial to-

the patrol boats, and that there is no
suggestion that the crowd Of yachts and
steamers which went out to view the
race interferred in any way with the
movement of either boat.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
themin the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening Iaxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get it's beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

CLOTHES MADE OF FISH SKIN
An Exhibit Showing What Siberian
Women Do.

An Exhibit Showing What Siberian
Women Do.
Several garments made entirely of
fish skin. and made to be worn. too.
were recently put on exhibition in the
Museum of Natural History in New
| York in a remarkable collection of
curiOs gathered in eastern Siberia by
Prof. EerthOld Lauter of the Jcsup
North Pacific expedition. These fish
skin clothes are the work of the wo-
men of the remote Gilyak and Gold
| tribes of the river Amur, and very
| odd garments they are.
The tribes live entirely fishing and
| hunting. Salmon. which ascend the
river to spawn. are their staple food.
and the salmon skins, after being
treated by the women, who are adopts.
provide material for their clothes.
First the scales are removed so care
fully that the skin is not broken. Then
the skin is tanned and dressed to make
it durable and finally the women sew
1t into garments.
Salmon skin, when made into clothes
by the Amur Indians. is like kid in ap-
pearance and softness. but it is tough
er than kid, in fact almost as tough
as parchment. 1t is dyed yellow and
red and indigo. and some of the
garments into which it Is made are
highly ornate. Curiously enough. most
of the ornamentation is on the backs.
The garments are sewn together with
fine thread. also made of fish skin.
Still another use to which skin is
put is to decorate the boots Of both
men and women. sections of highly
colored skin being appliqued on the elk
hide of which the boots are made.
One of the fish skin garments in the
collection is warm weather garm mt.
for it is unlined. u it had been made
in Paris it would be called pelisse.
Its front overlaps. and it seems to
have rea ched the ankles of the wearer.
In color it is a deep manila yellow.
and it is highly Ornamented. The outer
edges are bordered with a fish
band of dark indigo blue. and heading
this is a narrow strip of red. Up the
side seams blue panels are applilued
in a graceful arabesquc design.
The edges of the arabesque are fast
ened to the body with as minute stitch
es as if sewed by machine. Bands
of simpler design ornament the tops OF
the sleeves. and there are blue cuffs,
decorative in outline.
Another gown shows three bands
about two inches wide in dark blue.
yellow and red laid close together.
This garment is further ornamented
with appliqued scroll figures in blue.
