CHEER YOUR FELLOW-MAN.

rf you should see a fellow-man with
troubles flag unfurled,
An 1ookin' like he didn't have q friend In
adj the world
Go up and slap him on the back, an boiler,
"How d'you dog
An grasp his hand so warm he'll know he
has a friend in you .
Then ak him what's a-hurting him, IN
laugh his cares way .
An tell him that the darkest night Is just
before the day; =.
Don't talk graveyard palaver, but say 1t
right ont loud =.
That God will sprinkle sunshine in the trail
of every cloud.
This world at best is but q hash of pleasure
and Of pain:
Some days are bright and sunny and some
all sloshed with pain:
And that's just how it ought to be, Tor
when the clouds roll by. ..
Well know just how to 'preciate the bright
and smiling sky.
So learn to take it as it comes, and don't
sweat at the pores "a.
Because the Lords opinion don't coincide
with yours;
But always keep rememberin' when cares
your path enshroud,
That God has lots of sunshine to spill be-
hind the cloud.

FIRE SIGNALS.

AT a meeting of Hope Hook and
Ladder Co. No. l, held on July 9, 1901,
the town was divided into Fire Dis
tricts and a Code of Signals was
adopted in order to facilitate the loca-
ton of fires In the future. The town
was divided as follows:
District No. No. ALL that portion
Of town bounded north by Bellevue
street, west by Union street, south
and east by corporation line.
District No. 2-All that portion Of
town bounded by Bellevue street on
the south, Union street on the west,
and corporation line en- the north and
east.
District No. 3-Thc portion Of town
lying west of Union street, and south
Of Bellevue street, with the corpora
ton line as the south and west boun-
dairy.
District No. 4.-Thc portion Of town
bounded on the south by Bellevue,
east Union, north and west by cor
poration line.
The signals adopted we're short taps
to indicate the district in which the
fire is located, followed by a rapid
alarm, same to be repeated until gen
eral alarm is given.
To illustrate, should an alarm bc
sounded for District Nc. 3, first three
taps, one, two, three, followed by rap
id alarm, and repeat.

Assassination In Russia.

Takings-of are 20 managed in Rus
STA that the very chief Of the Third
Section has again and again proved
unable to protect himself. Col. Sudei-
kin, who held office in the late Cars
time, transacted a good deal of his
business on an upper floor. in an out
~of-the-way street, under a name as
common as the English Smith" and
always with the door locked. A Wis
itor had to knock in a certain manner,
and give a password that was changed
every day. Yet one day n one
knocked, gave the password, got in
side and opened fire. The colonel was
badly hurt, but he killed his man and
reached the landing-oniy to be fin
ished off with an iron bar there by
somebody else. Nowhere does the un-
expected happen oftener than In st,

CLERGYMEN LIVE LONGEST.
B]artenders' Years Are the Shortest

6dFIenQeFS Years HIS IiS
Ages in Other Occupations.
What occupation in life offers man
the best prospect of long life? The
question is often asked.
DR.. Schofield, late lecturer and eX-
aminer for the National Health So
ciety, has in his book NERVES III Or
der given a table of longevity which
supplies an answer.
Evidently the Christian ministry is
the most healthful of all occupations.
Clergy, who head the list, live more
than twice as long as the average
members of other professions. Non
conformist ministers die a little fast
er.
The complete list works out thus
in order of longevity: Clergy (55 per-
cent?, dissenting minister's, farmers,
agricultural laborers, grocers, lawyers,
diapers, coal miners, watchmakers, ar
lists, shoemakers, bakers, clerks,
chemists, greengrocers, tailors, doc
tors, butchers, painters, musicians,
cab and bus men, sweeps, publicans'
metal miners, hawkers, London labor
ers, barmen.
Descent from a good stock, temper
ate habits and small, but assured, IN
comes are factors in the long life OF
the clergy.
Farmers would show up better If
they spent less money In drink.
Grocers W their higher death rate
to the spirits they consume.
Lawyers would be better off if it
were not that after As they die off
more quickly.
Diapers die largely from consump-
ton, owing to the amount of dust en-
countered in their business, but the
surprisingly good health of coal min
ers is probably due to the harmless
ness of coal dust.
Bakers die largely from drink and
suicide.
Clerks alone live to the present
average age Of As.
Musicians include all organ grind
ers and German bands. Hence"
writes the author, their mortality"

You sometimes see a woman whose
old age is as exquisite $ the perfect
bloom OF ncf youth. 1ou NoANNi ~
it is her life has been a long Ut h2pPy
one. Here are some of the reasons:
She knew how to forget diS&GreeauiS
things. She kept her nerves we'll III
hand and inflicted them on no one
She mastered the art of saying pleasant
things. She did not expect too much
from her friends. She made whatever
work came to her congenial.
A theory has recently been advanced
that every woman should have a black

the wearing of color at such q time

The very fine sprig, spray Or garland
hand em~broideries appear to nave the
preference in the earliest French mod
els, but there are, too, some Of the
bold, raised embroideries on sheer
stuffs, and these heavy embroide ties
appear again upon the linen blouses.
Surplice front lines have invaded the
realm of blouses as we'll as the other
provinces of fashion, and as they are
universally becoming and easily fitted
and made, their popularity is assured.
Little details such as the arrange
ment Of a cravat or girdle will often
give distinction and originality to an
otherwise unimportant blouse.
Many charming waists are shown by
importers, suitable for theatres or res
taurant dinners. These are usually
white, and with few exceptions are dis
tressingly elaborate.
A combination Of white louisine and
thin white lace makes a lovely waist.
There are certain little details OF
mourning garb which should lot be
overlooked. The dress Innings should
be of rustless silk. When dead black
is so unbecoming as to render II ugly
before ones family, have all the gowns
made with guimpe effects or SUPPLIES
to be filled in with white crepe de chine
or white muslin.
Besides the linen starched collar
there are innumcrablc stocks and bands
to choose from. A favorite model is
the waved band of heavy linen cob,
covered with padded embroidery.
Certain exquisite little French blouses

O CHILDREN.

Ten commandments for parents:
First-Be gently firm with the baby.
Obedience should commence in the
cradle.
Second-Insist upon obedience in all
things and at all times.
Third-Instill the necessity of truth
fulness as soon as your child learns to
talk.
Fourth-By example and illustration
teach Self-cOntrol.
Fifth-Remember that children have
privileges as much so as you-indeed,
more, for they Ire helpless and entirely
under your authority; therefore sacred
ly respect their opinions and feelings.
Sixth-Never be too busy to talk. en-
courage questions, seek and give con-
fidence.
Seyenth-Furnish a place for every
thing, and require everything to be
kept in it's place.
Eighth-Demand cleanliness in per-
sen, behavior and clothing-not spas
medically, but from the cradle up. If
neglected, see it done. Touch the child's
personal and family pride. Put him on
honor.
Ninth-Never allow your child to
''answer back until he is old enough
to reason, then reason intelligently and
gently. 1t is his due.
Tenth-If you promise your child
punishment be as good as your word.
Fail to keep your word once and he
will never trust you again. But never
punish him in a passion; you disgrace
yourself ana break his spirit, also in
jure his body. To whip or otherwise
punish him while you are in a passion
is brutal and it brutalizes him, too.

WHITE TAfFETA SEAM PIPING.

The latest idea in fashi0nins a sum
mer silk dress Of hair-lines. fine checks
or changeable effect; is to trim it with
piping of pure white taffeta. No mat
ter what are the blended tints of your
psilk, no matter if it be a solid color
fabric, pipings of white, and only OF
white, seem the proper finish.
OF course, white taffeta pipings
would not be chosen to pipe the seams
of a white waist; that goes without
saying.
Very smart is the summer silk OF
black and white or silyery gray made
up as a shirt waist suit and pipe with
white taffeta. This differentiates 1T at
a glance from any Of last springs out
put. If piping was then employed, be
sure it was black, dark blue, scarlet,
brown or green. White taffeta piping
gives the stamp Of novelty.

SHOES LOWER HEELED.

As to general shape, toes are a little
more pointed, and, crriously noush
heels are a little lower.
| In slippers everything is beaded, OF
trimmed with great rosettes OF chiffon
or net, with a tiny rhinestone buckle
or button in the centre. In strapped
Slippers d new idea has come out-a
slipper which is cut to give a double
strap effect, without the trouble OF
buttoning those little straps. Two eye
let's are in the sides of these straps,
presumably part of the design, but,
too, mighty convenient to slip a bit of
ribbon through to draw the straps a
little tighter.
Bronze slippers are popular, and tan
shoes Though they're a far cry from
evening slippers) will be strong again
in all the soft shades Russia leather
takes. But black patent leather is
worn more than any other one leather,
and white shoes more than any other
color, with slippers to match for
the rest, and the prettiest of all is a
French invention-pale blue or pink
satin affairs, embroidered and beaded,
not only on the vamp, but with a little
vine that runs all the way around the
slipper.
An engraved patent leather slipper is
a novelty that is stunning in the quiet
est of ways. The design is made by
cutting part way through the enameI.
But slippers! The slipper world
seems to have run riot over all shoes, so
long as that one most important point
is satisfied, that the colors match. And
to this end are astonishing things made,
violet and green and orange, and all
the impossible tints Of a very definite
rainbow.
