No one of these four believrs could

The four together did it with ease.

Conventional rules were broken and
set at naught that day. The sermon
was interrupted. Plaster came rat
ting down on the heads of the audi
tors. Property was injured. But
what of that so a sinner was saved?
Welcome any mode that really brings
the unsaved to the golden mercy-seat,
Public worship is a means to an end,
not an end in itself 1t is a ladder to
convey us to the treasury of grace.
Bare rltualism grows very dextrous in
gliding up and down the ladder; but
it never takes one anywhere.
What God does is well done. The
healing was complete. There was no
tedious conYalescence. The man hith-
erto so powerless sprang to his feet.
The hands that the moment before
were shaking like aspen-leaves now
rolled the mattress into the smallest
possible compass. The man who was
himself burden now carries a bur
den. And this was in the sight of all.

The Transforming power of grace is
just as conspicuous to-day. Judged
by its effects upon individuals, com
munities, and nations, it must be con-
fessed Divine. AS the walls of that
Capernaum home echoed to s outs OF
glory to God, so shall the whole earth
be finally filled with praise.

ChiId-Study and Sunday-School
Methods.
Plato somewhere says that wonder
is an essential condition to knowing.
Attention is arrested and interest
stimulated by the description of the
unusual. Phillips Brooks once came
to the defense of the average Sunday
school book. He said you must ill.,
dulge children in their ideals and even
their dreams and fancies. 1t is by
that very means you lead them on to
the real. The childmind fairly feeds
and thrives upon the wonderful. And
there is no richer repOSitOrv Of tbiS
than the Bible. For variety, pictures
queness, quickness and intensity of
movement, the Scripture stories are
unsurpassed. They are old, but per-
ennial. Many of them are golden
hooks on which ethical lessons of first

ARnuT SOME BRIDES.

Some one has made the interesting
discovery that most of the. recent
brides and some of the prospective
ones, so far from being divinely tall,
incline rather to petite stature. And
this has been quite sufficient basis
for an argument on the relative power
of little women and the daughters OF
the gods over the opposite sex. The
women of commanding presence
certainly have the advantage in some
respects; but in affairs Of the heart
1t is generally the little ones who
score. Comparisons, of course, are
odious, but it is impossible to help
seeing that tall women, who unques-
tionably look more dignified and ele-
giant than their shorter sisters, can
not so effectively assume the coaxlng
airs, the piquant manner, the pretty
helplessness, the fascinating pertness,
the bewitching tenderness that en-
slave man to little women. Besides,
little women have invariably. bis,
warm, loving hearts.

EARLY FALL FASHIONS.

While there are no radical changes
in late summer and early fall styles
from those of the earlier season, the
attractive suggestions are developed
and the extremes toned down. A
frOck of the fascinating lingerie type
must needs be accompanied by one of
the new three-quarter coats Of deli
cate tinted taffeta if one wishes to be
smartly costumed. The taffeta used
to make these pretty wraps is of
soft lustrous quality. Very pretty
summer frOcks show bodice or hip
yoke of shocking, the sleeves also
being shocked, either at the lower or
upper part, or possibly both. No
other trimming need be employed
with the shocking, the girdle of flow
cred ribbon providing the finishing
touch. While dressy gowns have ex-
tremely full skirts, growing fuller all
the while, the smartest tailored eff
fects show the fullness only around
the bottom, and this is achieved by
plaits in various forms, laid fiat
around the hips and falling out be-
low, with the killed effect around the
feet. To be thoroughly approved,
such costumes must have hat, shoes
and all accessories to match in color,
or there must, at least, be perfect
harmony among them. All the fancies
of the last few years seem to have
been combined in this seasons styles
and with the most artistic effect.
Pinking has come in again, and
ruches and pipings appear on almost
every summer dress. It is white
season for the little folks, and from
the top of the picture hat to the tip
Of the slippered toe the fashionable

Invention Of Trousers.

Trousers originated in the high
lands of Central Asia, the first Of
which there is any record having been
worn by the Ayran people, who, I'M
der Cyrus, descended from the noun
tains into the plains of Mesopotamia.
The Romans later observed that
trousers were worn by their "barbar-
ian" neighbors, the Germanic tribes,
as we'll as by the Persiaps and others.
The Romans themselves finally adopt
ed trousers when campaigning or
travelling north of the Alps, but
We're careful to doff them as soon as
they re-entered Italy.
For small children TO be left en-
tirely nude was customary among
our classical forbears. 1t is still a
custom among the lower classes in
many of the tropical countries, nota-
bly, the West Indies. Indian chill
dren outside the zone of the Indian
school rarely wear clothing when the
weather is warm.--WashiEgto Star.

WISDOM OF ONE WOMAN.

A certain woman who has a good
library and is always buying books
and music is very generous in lending
both to her friends. Naturally she
has found that people are often more
ready to borrow than to return, so, in
order to be able to lend without loss
she has devised a nice little plan. In
a certain album each borrower writes
his or her name opposite the title
of the book and the date on which
the book is borrowed. On returning
1t the borrower is expected to COM
ment on the book and to initial it.
This album. is naturally quite inter
esting, and, as it is always to the
fore, it is often turned over by visit
ors, who soon see who is and who is
not prompt in returning books lent.
The result is that books are always
returned, and yet there are no irritat-
ing reminders from their owner,
whose album is always kindly re-
garded.

The hunting ring is horn twisted

A riding crop with a horses head

None of these rings are very ex-
pensive, although the luxurious may
embellish and elaborate them, having
the heads of diamonds, ETC. In the
simpler form they seem far more APP
propriate and in better taste.

ready for anything.
There are Scotch tendencies in
coatdom.
A clever buyer says the coat of the
Scotch peasant has been the inspira-
ton.
In materials the American taste is
all for the fine, handsome, durable
covert cloth.
Knockabout coats of tweeds and
Bannockburns are the top of the style
for those who like coarse effects.
Zebelines are coming in strong for
half dress coats, and are very smooth
and silky.
Except in a few of the coat suits,
coats are Of the three-quarter length.
Many of the heavy, more or less
coarse coats may be matched in cloth,
making smart walking or sporting
suits.
Broad shoulder effects are to be
continued and an extra seam is car
ried UP to each shoulder in the back.
The helted back is the proper thing,
though the belt interferes very little
with the fullness.
In the finer face cloth coats Inver-
ness effects are seen, the sleeved In
verness being very practical as well
as picturesque.
One beautiful brown broadcloth car
riage coat shows a sextuple cape eff
feet over each sleeve, and the mar
row collar and cuffs are of panne in
oignon crule, a brilliant light brown
shade.-Philadelp Record.

Largest Flower in the World.


The raffesia is q strange plant. It
grows in Sumatra and derives it's
name from Sir Stamford Rallies, gov
ernor of Sumatra at enc time, and
his friend DR.. Arnold, a naturalist.
They were the first white men to
discover the wonderful plant. 1t is
said to be the largest and most mag
nificent flower in the world. 1t is
composed Of five roundfsh petals, each
a foot across and Of brick red color,
covered with numerous irregular yell
lowish white swellings. The petals
surround a cup nearly foot wide,
the margin Of which bears the sta
mems.
This cup is filled with feshy disk,
the upper surface of which is every
where covered with projections like
miniature, cows horns. The cup
when free from its contents would
hold about twelve pnts Of water.
The flower weighs fifteen pounds
1t is very thick, the petals being
three-quarters of an inch in thick
ness. With it's beauty one is led to
expect sweetness, but it's odor is that
of tainted beef, and DR.. Arnold sup
posed that even the flies were deceiV-
ed by the smell and were d9positing
their eggs in the thick disk, taking
it for a piece of carrion.

Merits Of Hydrocyanlc Gas.

Until the value of hydrocyanic acid
gas as an insecticide is known in
every household, the credulous will
still buy patent preparations at ex-
travagant prices, only to find that
the pests simply luxuriate in them.
This gas is often successfully USED
abroad in hospitals for the des.ruc-
ton Of feas, flies, mosquitoes and
bedstead parasites. The toxic effect
of the gas for such purposes is found
to be very great, and similar salts
factory results are reported in all
experiments. Nothing can be easier
in application, and nothing more effec-
tive has yet been discovered, espe-
ciaiiy as the gas has no effect what
ever on delicate fabrics or polished
Or plain finished metal surfaces.

NEEDN,T sPoIL CLOTHES.

Women who boat, fish, camp, and
otherwise amuse themselves with ma
ture in her wet as we'll as dry moods,
will find an oilskin suit convenient
feature of the outing wardrobe. The
skin might be purchased and made up
into a coat and skirt suit, or a ready
made suit of the lightest possible
form of oil skin. The short packet
of these suits has a military standing
collar lined with corduroy to make it
comfortable, and a skirt Of good
sporting length.
Clad in a suit like that the sporting
girl can dabble around wetness to the
content Of her gypsying nature.

The BUILDING or BIG SHIPS.

indication That We Have About
Reached Limit for Present Time.
1t is much discussed question
where the building of bigger ships is
to end. Various authorities in en-.
gineering have attempted 10 predics
the future rate of progress in marine
construction, and the fact that ct a
single stroke 5000 tons have been
added TO the size of the record YES
sci will doubtless be made much Of.
Nevertheless, there is much reason
to believe that we are near the limit
in size of ships, for the present al
least, and there may even be a re-
action. The size of ships is govern
ed by the depth Of the channel en-
frances to seaports, and these latest
huge vessels draw SO much water
that they can only enter few ports
and at only a very few can cargo or
passengers sufficient to fill them be
secured
Besides this, it will readily be con-
coded that the reason why bigger
and bigger ships nave been built is
purely commercial one. The que8-
ton; "WiH it pay?" is the question
to be answered in determining wheth-
er the size of Ships is to go on in
creasing. and if so to what extent. 1t
will be readily granted that a ship of
10000 tons can be operated more
cheaply per ton of freight carried
than one of 600 tons. provided the
volume of traffic is sufficient to keep
her employed, and provided, also, that
c2rgo-handling appliances are such as
To keep down delays in port. But,
granting this, it will readily be seen
that there is not a like saving to be
made in again doubling the size and
going from 10000 to 10000 tons.
Perhaps under certain circumstances
the 200000-ton vessel may be worth
while, but even if this is the case it
does not follow that sill bigger
vessel would be still more profitable.
1t must be remembered that these
very large vessels cost considerably
more to build per ton Of freight ca
pacity than vessels Of modern size

A WOMAN PAINTER.

The first woman painter to receive
an order from the German Govern
ment is said to be Fraulein Greta
Walden, who decorated the hall of the
German building at the Paris Expos
ition, and who was also commissioned
to furnish paintings for the ST. Louis
Exposition. These last are four in
number in the Hall of Mines and
Metallurgy, two representing the
mines of Konigshuttee in Silesia and
two views of the Krupp plant. An
other painting in the educational
building shows the famous Berlin
thoroughfare "Unter den Linden"
