Harmony in Coat and Hat.

Women are giving closer attention
to the harmony of line and idea OF
hat and coat this winter than ever
before. The fact that the Parisienne of
wealth and taste this season frequent
ly chooses to make herself the exact
reproduction of some old painting,
every detail of costume being carried
out, Is having it's influence on less
favored mortals whose means or op-
portunities will not permit of such
lavish costuming.
Quite naturally the fashions Of the
season demand in headwear the sweep
ing ostrich plume, the high crown, the
graceful side roll and the dashing
straight brims that mark the historical
periods from which this season sees
fit to draw inspiration. And the true
modiste, she who holds her art and
reputation higher than the sale Of a
bonnet, is careful to see that the hat
be not only becoming to the face and
figure. but also a harmonious and ef-
fective note in the ensemble Of which
1t is to be part.

THE CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

Just now all the shops are stocked with those things which are usual at this season of the year, and tradesmen are displaying wares of every descrip- ton for those who must purchase for the holidays. It does not necessarily follow that because toys are a feature of the Christmas season, that every thing turns to toys. There is a senti- ment connected with the memory of childhood days that inclines each of us to the toy store that we may make childhood innocence happy, but there are other things of which we must think while we are buying. and those other things are the seasonable arti- cles with which we can please our adult friends and at the same time give them that which is useful. There is a pleasure in the giving and a pleasure in the receiving, and that which will please the exact fancy of the individual recipient is the present most appropriate. As Christmas day approaches the shops are crowded. Merchants now offering find it busy times for them during the hours when the shoppers are numerous at the counters, and as it happens every year, many delay the buying until the last moment. When this delay occurs 1t is hard for all to be pleased; it is hard for the merchant to give the proper attention, and there is more or less delay in getting these numer- ous purchases delivered. Therefore, all should do their shopping now, and in this way contribute to the comfort Of the tired salesman and shop girl, who find Christmas day anything but a pleasure because of the arduous du- ties of the week preceding that i'm portant occasion.
 Suppose we all do uor buying right now. Suppose We decide just what we want and go to the stores and make

REVOLUTION COMING.

It looks very much as if the present condition of Russia would grow into a revolution greater and more terri ble than the one in France in 17S9, and if this happens that Russia's neighbors, Germany and Austria will be more or less affected. Even the great armies of the Kaiser and the soldiers of Francis Joseph the First will be unable to check the upheaval, 30 it is thought by many who are well acquainted with European affairs. The New York Evening Sun says concern ing affairs in the three monarchies named that there are a great many persons who, being incapable of see ing beyond their noses, don't see, and who won't see, the importance for the whole world of the events now taking place in Russia. AS sure as the So- ciaI Democrats get the upper hand in the Cars empire, nothing can pre- vent disturbances of the earthquake sort in Germany and Austria. There is not a great country anywhere which would not feel in it's foreign trade the effect of "culbute generale" in the east of Europe. New York and Lon don have vital interests in the condi- ton of the volcano which may cause repetition in the beginning of the twentieth century of the bloody scenes, the chaos, that marked the great revolution of France.
 There is not a feature of 17S9 that is lacking in Russia today. A weak monarch making concessions when they are too late, a frivolous aristoc- racy demanding frmness when firm ness is impossible, a tricky minister trying to play both ends against the middle, a crowd of doctrinaires who think that the country can be saved by a parliament, disintegrating army getting ready to join the open revolu- tionists, and finally the peasants burning the castles and seizing the lands of the great proprietors.
 One thing is plain; in Russia, as in France, the overturning of the old or der would not be followed by peace and quiet. The dragging of Germany and Austria into the affair through Poland would inevitably bring on war. Then we should see the new republic or whatever it was, trying to defend itself against external as well as in- ternal enemies. There would be raiou of terror in fha eourca Cf uvI,iob the reactionary nobility would be swept out of existence. It was only the blazing, fiery furnace of the Ma poleonic wars that fitted France to take her place in nineteenth century Europe Prussia got a constitution with little turmoil But there is no comparison possible between the thoughtful, educated Germans of 1S4S and the mobs of Russia.
 The dumb beast that has been half asleep for centuries is aroused and has tasted blood. Perhaps even a Peter the Great could not put him to sleep again
 The Neckers, Lafayettes and other respectable reformers having failed to make good the Dantons, Robes pierres, Marats and Bareres of Rus sia will have their turn and direct things With Gorky, Tchekhoff and Teleshoff turned active revolutionists all things are possible and all things will be expedient.

vices at the Main Street Methodist

the advantages of being members Of
the organization and of their expert
ences in the Christian life. Mr.. Wells
stated that the Gideons was an organ
ization of Christian travelling men and
though only five years old had a mem
bership Of over 5000. A. few years
ago. he said, 1t was almost impossible
to find a travelling man who would
say he was a Christian, but now the
emblem Of the order had become SO
well known that nearly every one who
saw a Gideon button on a mans coat
knew what it stood for. He gave an
interesting talk urging all men to be
true men, give up their bad habits and
lead Christian life.

a most enjoyable affair. The Y M.
