That is the inscription on the tomb of
Zachary Taylor, twelfth president OF
the United States, according to the
Cleveland Press.
A correspondent who recently visited
the tomb of "Old Rough and Ready
says for over half a century it has lacked
the care of kindly hand and is fast fall
ing into decay.
Apparently nobody cares.
The tomb lies five miles from Louis
vile, and is off the road. Ivy riots over
the weather-beaten blocks of granite.
The fastenings on the door are red with
rust. So far as is known no key has
turned the locks for so years. Visitors
are rare. 1t is doubtful if half dozen
tourists visit the tomb in a twelve
month.
And this neglected spot is the last
resting place of the hero of the Black
Hawk and Florida wars. Here is the

was organized at New Lebanon, New
York, in 1887, the leader, Mother Ann, "
an English woman OF humble extrac-
ton, but of strong personality and much
influence Her following increased rap
idly, and, though New Lebanon contin-
ued the principal seat, communities were
established in various parts of the
United States; in Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New
York, Ohio and Kentucky. The Shakers
are now decreasing; there are now but
Is communities and 1850 members in
our country. The Shakers are noted for
their belief in the blessedness OF the
single state, they wear uniform style
of dress, live very simply and are chiefly
engaged in agricultural pursuits. They
are the oldest of existing communistic
societies in the United States, and whilst
outsiders have not been able wholly to
sympathize with their beliefs, they have
found it easy to admire the industry,
neatness and peace prevailing in their
communities
The American Thinkers, or Dunkers,
were an offshot of a community in Ger
many. They emigrated to America early
in the eighteenth century and settled in
Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. They
dressed much in the style of monks and
nuns, and lived on a vegetable diet.
Marriage was not forbidden in the early
DAYS in America, but those that married
were required to move from the Lam
caster settlement. This led to emigra-
ton of married Thinkers to other parts
of the United States, and members Of
the sect are now found in New England,
Virginia, Maryland, Ohio and Indiana,
as well as Pennsylvania.
Although Boston has been considered
the home par excellence of strange
creeds and dogmas, it would seem from
the above brief review that western New
York and the middle west have harbored
their full share of peculiar beliefs.

peculiar religions. Though Chicago is
the chief center of his labors, the world
at large knows considerable of this
elijah" whose ambitions can be bound
by no local restrictions. He is not salts

the glorifcation of his beliefs, he needs
must have whole town, an industrial
center, patterned after conceptions OF
his own. Wherefore we nave, just out of

What of the personality of this leader,
and wherein lies the power that makes
it possible for him to attract such hosts
of followers? In appearance, he is I'M
usual; of great girth, but almost dwarf
in height He gives the impression OF
extreme forcefulness, of enormous phys
ical strength and energy. Ministers Of
orthodox denominations generally con-
cede that this reviler of orthodoxy is
in many respects an admirable exhorter,
being intensely argumentative and log
ical. Every Sunday he declaims to thou
sands upon thousands of attentive list

their substance to lay at the feet of the

RESCVING THE PATIENTS

had been safely accounted for, says
the New York Sun, and the f1remen
were at work on the fire, a little Girl

20 Nellie! Poor Nellie will get
burned up, cause she's still in the

Didn't Nellie come out with you?"
inquired the battalion chief.
NO" answered the child. Nellie
and Minnie, too, are still up there on

Prior To the day of the Spiritualists
the MiIlerites enjoyed prominence. We
have all heard of Miller, prophet of the
worlds speedy ending, and of his many
followers. We have read of those times
of excitement and suspense when men
let pass the season for planting and SOW
ing, confident there was to be need for
no future harvest; when the women
made ready the ascension robes. Will
liam Miller, the founder of the sect,
interpreted Bible prophecy to mean the
second coming of Christ between the
years 1881 and 1874. His preachings
were accepted BY thousands throughout
the northern states especially. and the
UNCONVENTIONAL churches everywhere
welcomed him. After the time set by
him for the second coming of Christ ex-
pired delegates representing $4,000 of
his followers held conference and or
ganized the Adventist church.
Mormonism has proven more durable
than most of the other notorious re-
ligions When Mormonism first began
to make stir, it was regarded as one
of the fads that would soon pass away,
but it has been with us 20 years. The
date of the origin of the Mormon church
was April 6, $780, and the place Palmyra,
New York. A band of six men proposed
the scheme, one of the members was Jo-
seph Smith. Smith began to see visions
while yet a lad, and when he grew to
manhood his talents in this direction
greatly widened. About four miles from
Palmyra, on the hill "Cumorah," he
claimed to have discovered his Mormon
plates, hidden from the world 1400
years. These plates he translated, and
the Book of Mormon was produced.
Mormon settlements were made in
Kirkland, Ohio, independence, Mo-, and
then the beautiful city was established
at Nauvoo, Ill. When Smith was put
to death by neighbors averse to his
teachings, Mormons looked upon him as
a martyr, remaining in the fold, and add
ing many new members. Smiths doc
trine of polygamy grew in favor, Brig
ham Young became prophet, and the pill
grimage to Salt Lake was accomplished.
There, in the Promised Land, wonderful
prosperity followed, the Mormons in
creased nightly both in wealth and
numbers. The Mormon power in Ameri-
ca is no inconsiderable one now; &C
cording to late statistics, there are at
present in the United States about $780,
900 members of the sect.
A sect very different from the Nor
mons in ideals, the Shakers, obtained
quite a foothold in this country. The
Shakers came to us from England, the
first ones settling in New York in IT'S.

| must say rather like wrap of this
description to be bizarre, and there is
a distinct feeling for the brightest of
coloring. Bright shades of wine color,
emerald green, orange and purple, are
all pressed into the service of the opera
cloak de luxe, and these go a long way
towards attaining picturesque effects.
And a little real lace and good deal
of fur are generally fitting finish. For
tunate, indeed, is the woman who has
some treasure of this sort laid by.
But enough! We live in a work-a-
day world, and most of our readers re-
quire practical garments at not too fab
ulous a cost. Therefore, come with me
to the world of f1annels. French flannel
is a most delightful fabric for various
occasions. Originally associated with
bedroom wear, and somewhat dowdy at
that, it is now pressed into the service
of the smartest country and evening
dress frocks. 1t is perhaps the cheap
est material in which beautiful color
ings are obtainable, and delightful
shades of navy blue and russell brown
in this fabric are justly popular
Delaine is another attractive material,
but l think flannel takes the first place.
Blouses and skirts of contrasting hue
are no longer worn, but if you have an
unlined flannel skirt and blouse to
match, you possess charming costume
at small cost. I really think the flannel
frock is a boon we do we'll to enjoy at
the moment.
I do not care for fannel-even a
French flannel-in scarlet; it is too apt
to remind one of the petticoat and dress
ing-gown at their dowdy stages. 1t Is.
however, charming in new champagne
shade, and makes becoming indoor
frock. This, of course, can be treated
more deliberately than navy blues and
browns for country wear. In bright
shades of rose-pink this French flannel
makes dainty evening frocks.
1t is a relief to turn to the simplicity
and cheapness of flannel or serge frocb
with a trotteuse skirt, prettily cut, and
plain blouse-like bodice, with its very
wide crinkled belt Of leather, suede or
kid to match
Such a gown of flannel can be worn
right into the coolest weather with the

addition of smart little bolero coat
to match. This bolero coat must always
fasten at the waist and have big, plated
coat sleeves and some thick silk cord
to form a finish. Thus you will have a
complete, smart costume at very small
cost. If in brown you will, of course,
have brown boots and hat en- suite, for
nowadays Fashion demands harmony in
shades. You may, however, introduce
with your smart white turnover collar
and stock a touch of bright orange, tur-
quoise or emerald green. These little
additions are bright and picturesque
for the country, but they look woefully
out of place on the better frocks.
The three-quarter basque coat is get
ting more popular every day in cloth
as we'll as in fur and velvets. Some
women look we'll in everything, and
therefore can wear this style of coat,
but, taking it all round, it is not becom-
ing. 1t cuts the figure at an ugly angle
and detracts considerably from the
height.
The n w wine color is run very close
by bright shade of cobalt blue, but
do not think the latter will hold it's own
for long, as Parisians have worn so much
blue during the past season. Black and
black and white, with a good deal of
chenille and jet, are really very popu-
lar. I really do not think we shall see
anything of green for long time The
leading Paris firms are using good
deal of purple, but this requires careful
handling. When say green is at a dis
count you must remember that dark
green cloth coats are still worn with tar
tan skirts.
