KEEP UP YOUR ENERGY.
Stand Erect and Walk as Though
You Were Somebody.

Stand Erect and Walk ms Though
You Were Somebody.
Never allow your physical standard
to drop. Keep up your energy. Walk
as if you We're somebody and were go
ing to do something worth While in the
world, so that even Il stranger will note
your bearing and mark your superior
ity. If you have fallen into Il habit of
walking in Il l~istless, indolent way,
turn right about face ut oncc and make
a change. You don't want to shuttle
along like the failures we often see sit
ting around on park benches Dr. lolling
about the streets, with their hands in
their pockets, or haunting intelligence
Offices and wondering why fate has
been so hard with them. You don't
want to give people the impression that
you are discouraged OF that you are al
ready falling to the rear. Strengthen
up, then! Stand erect! Be Il man.
You are a child of the Infinite King.
You have royal blood in your veins.
Emphasize it by your bearing. A man
who is conscious of his kinship with
God and Of his power and who believes
thoroughly in himself walks with a
firm, vigorous step, with his head erect.
his chin in, his shoulders thrown back
and down, and his chest well projected
in order to give Il large lung capacity.
He is the mau who does things.
You cannot aspire Oh accomplish great
or noble things so long as you assume
the attitude and bearing of a coward
or weakling. If you would be noble
and do noble things you must look up.
You were made to look upward and to
walk upright. not to look down or to
shamble along in a semihorizontal posi-
ton. Put character, dignity, nobility,
into your walk.-Success.

pressive beyond description. From
the beginning, when the long line of
Observation-Disclosures, bishops and

torium entered chanting the "L.audes'
to the final act, when the five absolu-

solution by the highest authority OF
the church in America, not a detail
was overlooked, making this the most
impressive funeral of a Catholic cicr-
lyman ever held in the United States
of America.
From all parts Of the country were
assembled priests and prelates, while
the people ehocked from YER town
within a radius of ten rifles and many
came from points c,~..I-.GtlVely dis
tant. Long before ia appointed time
for the beginning q the service-5
o'clock-a crowd e! t%..Ousands had as.

opened for those possessing tickets OF
admission a steady stream Of men and
women poured into the edifice and the

soon occupied. Thousands would have
pushed their way in where it was a
physical impossibility for more than a
few hundred to do o Or those out

OF the service.
The procession to the cemetery was

THEBES GLASS WORKERS.
The High Art That Tlourixhed Owe
Forty Centuries Ago.

Forty Centuries Ago.
The glassblowers of ancient Thcbes
are known to have been equally us pro-
icient in that particular art as is the
most scientific craftsman Of the same
trade of the present day, after a lapse
of over forty centuries of so called
progress" They were well a%cquaint-
ed with the art of staining glass and
are known to have produced that COM
modify in great profusion and perfec-
ton. Rossellini gives an illustration
of a piece of stained glass known to
be 1000 years old which displayed ar
tistic taste Of high order, both in tint
and design.
In this case the color is struck
through the vitrifiel structure, and he
mentions designs struck entirely in
pieces from n half to three-quarters of
an inch thick, the color being perfectly
Incorporated with the structure Of the
piece and exactly the same on both the
diverse and reverse sides.
The priests of P'tah at Memphis
were adopts in the ~glassmaker's art,
and not only did they have factories
for manufacturing the common crystal
variety, but they had learned the vitri-
flying of the different colors and of i'm
itating precious stones to perfection.
Their limitations of the amethyst and
Of the various other colored gems were
so true to nature that even now, after
they have lain in the desert sands from
1000 to 1000 years, it takes an expert
to distinguish the genuine articles from
the spurious. 1t has been shown that,
besides being experts in glassmaking
and coloring, they also used the dia-
mond i'll cutting and engraving. In
the British museum there is Il beauti-
full piece of stained glass with an en-
graved "emblazonment of the monarch
Thothmes I'LL, who lived 3,4OO years
ago.

Chefoo. Nov. 9.-The Japanese be-

Russian soldiers, according to advicea
received here. In the meanwhile tbs

~ Russian prisoner captured Oct. -
saiG the troops composing the garll'
son OF Port Arthur were IN want ant
dispiriled. They saw the truillessnesa
OF the struggle. Hopeless of RELIEF,
with food scarce and medicine and hos
pital supplies insufficient, it was al.
mitted by the Russians that a Japanese
victory was ultimately inevitable. The
soldiers, according to the prisoner, see
no reason TO prolong the resistance,
which brings glory to their officers, but
chiefly hardship and death to them.
Upon hearing the prisoners story Gen
eral Nogi assembled his staff, dis
cussed the matter briefly and then, un.
der the light OF a bicycle lantern, draft
ed a letter 10 be circulated among the
soldiers themselves, the prisoner hav-
ing promised to deliver it in mere.
to his comrades. The letter related
General kuropatkin's retreats and his
inability to make an impression on the
army of Field Marshal Oyama, to sa.y
nothing of breaking through his forces
and relieving Port Arthur. The lette.
also pointed out that the second Rus
sian Pacific squadron has

japanese would walk into the mann

the letter offered humane treatmen.
to all who surrendered, saying it va,
in the interest OF humanity to preyent
useless slaughter. In the darkness O.
the early morning OF Nov. 4 severa.
copies of the letter, written in Rus
sian. were given to the prisoner, who
regained the Russian lines unobserveu
by his officers. That night the Russian
returned, saying his comrades would
answer within a few days. He said
the telzper OF the men seemed to show
that while they were .mutlnous toward
fate they also did not like the idea OF
an unofficial surrender. The letter did
much, however, to dispel among the
Russian troops the impression fOs-
tered by their officers that a massacre
would follow a Japanese victory. The
company to which the prisoner be.
longed originally numbered 800 and
now totals thirty men.

The First Flowing in India.

The commencement of the farming
season in India is celebrated with GER
emonies. The first furrow in the viii
lage is plowed by committee of farm
ers from the neighborhood. The plow
is first worshiped and decorated. The
bullock or camel which draws it is
covered with garlands of flowers;
bright-colored pieces of cloth and
rosettes Of ribbon are braided into its
tail and hung upon its horns. Behind
the plow follows "the sower," who is
also decorated with flowers and orna-
ments. has red mark upon his fore
head and his eyelids colored with lamp
black. He drops seed into the furrow.
Behind him comes a second man, who
carefully picks up every grain that has
fallen outside of the furrow. When the
furrow is finished the farmers assem-

Every one is assisting in making
| faced cloth the favorite fabric and it
is produced in very beautiful colOrs.
The best dressers are wearing har-
monies in color instead of startling
contrasts.
And, what about sleeves? Those in
the toilette de visite have really as
sumed alarming proportions. Pulled
sleeves are much en- evidence, and reg
ular rouleaux of velvet are inserted in
the Tudor sleeve. The long, tight-ft-
ting cuff above the elbow is also a fea-
ture, as is the dainty lace ruf11e which
is surely gaining favor. Then there is
the Henry II. sleeve, pulled all the way
up, but tight at the elbow This is too
stiff and bulky to be generally becom-
ing, unless made in thin taffeta or
some equally soft fabric.
Some of the petticoats are hoped,
and we hear lot about the crinoline,
but we do not see any. Really, this
fashion Of stiffening the hem of the
pett1coat by hoop is almost necessary
to support the heavily weighted cloth
skirt, which at it's best falls in simple
folds. Most of the skirts are worn full
over the hips, or rather the pleats are
arranged to increase the size of the
hips. The tailor-made coats even are
made with a slightly full basque in
preference to a perfectly plain one,
though some of the severely plain
Viennese models have the semi-fitting
habit coat cut all in one, showing the
curves of the figure, and here the
sleeves are absolutely plain Though
the skirt is full round the feet) and
the only permissible trimming is braid
or velvet buttons. Some of these coats
are cut double-breasted, and are worn
over embroidered vests.
What liking there is for brown and
yellow. The new orange shade known
as cog de Roche will be seen at some
exclusive weddings and receptions, and
the real Mandarin color will also be
used. Some of the best houses are
using laces dyed to match. In direct
contrast to the bright shades stone
gray is much de rigueur, and so are
very dark green's and moleskin tones.

wear, when if sewed as in Style ! it
would wear out in short time,
Styles 4, 5, 6 and are used on
heavy belts where heavy strain is put
on them and especially when belts be-
come cold and hard to get lacing to hold.
This style of lacing will hold as well as
the other part of the belt will.
Style is a double hinge stitch and
should be used where a heavy strain is
placed on the belt and in turning short
curves or in running under small idlers.
The main drive belts used on separa-
tors sewed in this way will often last two
seasons without relacing the belt Where
these stitches are not familiar to the
operator he can easily grasp the idea
by threading a needle and using the cut
as a model and drawing lines on the
cut with the thread. When he gets the
idea it will be no trouble for him to sew
a belt, always commencing in the center
of the belt when sewing and ending in
the center. If he has a Rogers punch,
by simply pushing it through the leather
it will form half circle to push the lace
through and then cut little notch in
the lace and it will catch on this half
circle and cannot be pulled out. It will
not be necessary to tie the lace in any
way. In lacing very often the end of
the lace is soft and it is hard to thread
through the holes, but if you will SIM
ply wet the end of the lacing or oil it,
then light match and crisp the end of
the lacing it will form a hard point
which will save time and annoyance
Every thresherman who does not un-
derstand this style of lacing should take
a couple of cards and punch holes as in
Dictated by the cut and sew the cards
with a shoe string for lacing, as these
make good lacings for practice and are
easier than tracing with thread
