pectcd to die from arsenic poisoning.
Mrs. Holiday used arsenic in biscuits,
mis,aking It for baking powder.
Tie grandson had used che arsenic
TO kill cats and had told his grand
mother to be careful Of the can, which
was on a Shelf in the pantry. In the
dark yesterday morning she mistuok it
for the baking powder. During the
meal she noticed a peculiar taste in
the biscuits and went 10 look al the

Chinese Coat Latest. :,

Any woman with ar eye for the pic
turesque is bound to fall in love with
a Chinese coat done over into q room
gown. These coats of richest satin
and silk are Of 4 sort which the Chi!
nese Minister might wear with eclat.
OF yore it was the vogue to wear them
over a pretty p%etticoat and let it go
at that. Now we are more elaborate.
The lateNt examples show q graduated
accordion founce of Liberty silk. This
trailing tlounce is edged with q ruche
and is fitted up into the side Sits that
distinguish the Chinese coat. The
founcing is also used inside the broad
4~sleeves. This ~douncing does not nee
essarily match the coat color in ma
terial. 1t may contrast wildly. One
black coat stunningly embroidered
with brilliant birds and blossoms
boasts founcings Of vivid cerise. Red
is, indeed, very much the vogue, espe-
cially in the raspberry and strawberry
shades. Half light %hyacinth and peri
Wrinkle blues are much liked also, as
these colors often figure superbly in
these embroidered garments. All the
pretty rose shades are noted in these
iouncings. So is emerald green. Such

coat, however ornate.

Old Time Digestion.

Now and then one hears Of lamen.
tation that Americans are not the
sturdy race they used to be. The home
spun ways of the pioneers are contrast
ed with the silken ways of their de-
scendants, and the conclusion is reached
that the American of to-day is a crea-
ture of predigested foods and skim
milk. Even out here in Oregon such
q voice is sometimes heard.I Let all
such Jeremiahs glance at the bill OF
fare for Senator Platt's recent break,
fast and be forever silenced. Here is
what a lot of politicians tackled for
their morning meal: Buckwheat cakes
and maple syrup, venison, and pump
kin, apple and, mince pie. Think OF
that. We pepsin swallowers-mince pie

who Owns a womian's Hair?

There is. nowadays virtually nothing
that a wife can do for which she can
not make her husband pecuniarily re-
sponsible. Whatever happens he has
always got to pay her costs. And
though he leaves her at his peril, she
can always leave him at her pleasure;
and the law she can put in force to
compel his return to her IS Of no use
whatever to compel her to return to
him. ., .,.
When" a benedict had occasion to
plead lately when I married her l
became in a sense part proprietor OF
her hair" Now she had brought him
before the Cadi on the charge Of steal
ing that same hair. If it had been the
hair of her head and he had exercised
. it in the course of business the charge
of stealing might perhaps have been
unsustainable. But she had bought the
hair with her own money and had been
at charges for making it up. The hus-
band had, as the Cadi pointed out, no
. claim 10 the hair under the circum-
stances; there was no part ownership,
as there might once have been consid-
cred to be, in the product, and no right
to raise money on it. In point of fact
the relation between man and wife had
come to be such that there. was only a
committal for trial.-Pall Mall Gazette.

the world sees. 1t cannot see faith in God.
1t can see only the faithfulness in the life
we live. From gross dishonesty on up to
unreliability, at whatever stage it appears,
unfaithfulness prevents an argument for
Christ.
This is the argument of the changed
life. And I cannot mistake that it Is
such argument which Christ Himself most
prizes and which the world most needs
needs not in these larger ways and places
a.one, there so much as in the men with
brethren, it is the argument of ur own
changed, ChristianiZed lives that is Lost
needed. The books are stTo1g-and IN
read. The uncommon. marked cases are
maryland unobservcd. Our lives are
daily before our fellows, closely read, con-
stantly observed. These are the worlds
arguments. And what is :ougLt is not
some impossible perfection. Many of our
fellows are not unreasonable. No, but
there is wanted "a alignment between our
pro DECISIONS and our actions that shall ildi-
cate that something higher and better has
actually taken hold of us. We claim to be

we do not claim to be better than other
people. We claim only this, as Christians.
that VIC arc seeking to do as Christ ap-
proves. that W. re seeking to live the
kind of life He lays out for us. The practi-
cal James in his New Testament epistle
puts it in a succinct way: You say you
are honest; very well; show me your hon.
,esty without paying your debts and I will
pay my debts to show my honesty. 1t is
the practical outworking which convinces
other men. Men are saved by their faith
in Christ. But other men know that
they are saved by the way they act.
Argument resulting so is worthy of
study. But it would be so wild as to be
silly to expect men who look on the re-
ligion of Christ for the outside to labor
over COO pages ofiprOf0und work. We are
