Origin OF the Dog.

The ancestry of the dog is a topic
which has been much discussed of late
at the French Academy in Paris. NJ.
Boule maintains that as far back as
the pliocene period Of geology the ca
nine family showed much the same d.
visions as it exhibits to-day. There
were the wolf, the fox, and the jackal
tribes and types, and q fossil jaw
taken from pliocene rocks near Puy
shows certain characteristics which
are seen in our own domesticated dogs
Of to-day.
Are we to assume. then, that the
dogs of our period represent a much
more ancient and original type of ami
mails than science would have US hith-
erto believe? If fossil evidences are
trustworthy. the dogs Of remote an
tiquity, so far from having originated
from the wolf stock. may be regarded
as having possessed distinct person
ality of their own. We may probably
have to go back into the tertiary to
find the primordial stock from which
the wolf, fox. jackal and dog may to-
gether have sprung.-Charles Hallock,
in Forest and Stream.

Tho Sun NOT Burned Ont.

1t has been stated by such authori-
ties as Kelvin, Newcomb and Ball that
the future of the suns activity will be
comparatively short-not more than TO-
100000 years-and some have even
suggested that the suns activity al
ready shows cigns Of waning. So far
Is this from being the case that only
one-fourth Of our supply Of energy has
been expended, and three-fourths are
yet in store for the future life Of the
planetary system. This opens up to
our contemplation decidedly refresh
ing view Of the future and will give re-
newed hope to all who believe that the
end of mundane progress is not yet In
sight. Not only should the future pos
sibilities of scientific progress be- vast
~ extended, but there will in all prob
ability be the most ample time for the
further development Of the races Of
beings irhabiting this planet. Ac-
cording to this view, the evolution Of
our earth Is still in its infancy, with
the zenith of its splendor far in the
future.-T. J. J. See, in the Atlantic.

Shirt Waist or Blouse.

Each fresh variation of the shirt
waist finds its welcome and its place.
No woman ever yet had too large a
supply and novelties are always in de-
mand. Here is one that combines box
pleats with tucks after most satlsfac-
tory and becoming manner and which
is adapted to all the lighter weight
shirtings. 1t is particularly pretty In
handkerchief linen, batiste and the like
and also makes up attrnctively In Ma
dras and materials Of similar sort,
while again it is quite appropriate for
the silk waist that often is needed even
in the summer months.
The waist is made with fitted lin
ing, which can be used or omitted as
material renders desirable, fronts and
back. The back is box pleated, the
pleats being arranged to give tapering
lines to the figure, while the fronts are
laid in three box pleats with groups of
tucks between. The sleeves are the
very latest ones made in shirt waist
STYLE and with deep cuffs.

Tailored Shirt Waists.

The tailored shirt waist has come
back. There is one stunning shirt. as
plain as pipestem, which has round
ed, shallow yoke stretching clear
across the houlders-almost onto the
sleeves. Yoke and body of the shirt are
Joined by a narrow beading of EN-
broidery, and-there you are.
Another shirt waist has fine tucks
run across the front, the whole thing
given character by two rather large
tucks which finish out the shoulders
on each side.
Plenty of shirt waists. made of the
sheerest linen, are absolutely plain. ex-
cept for the utterly feminine little
frill, hemstitched or quite simply
hemmed, or perhaps scalloped. which
runs down the front. Sometimes two
Of them are set, one on each side OF
the narrow box pleat down the front.
Sheer stuffs are used for the major
ity Of shirt waists, even for those Sc
we're in style, but those of heavier linen
are good, too, especially for shirt and
skirt that match.

Striped Trimming.

For tailored costumes, and also for
coats. a trimming very much seen now
consists of lapels, collars, revers and
buttons of striped silks, taffetas in
plaid design, or red, tan colored, or
green kid, which relieve very happily
the severity of the morning trotteur.
With view to comfort the skirts of
the morning costumes are rather short,
leaving the lower part of the boot ex-
posed. These suits are pleated, and
devoid of ornamentation, stitchings,
straps or buttons to match the coat
being the only forms Of trimmings
employed.

His Duty became Clear.

A group of twenty-five Christian men
had considered for an hour the ques-
ton of personal evangelism. More
than half of them had prayerfully
agreed to try to form the habit of con-
versation about Christ. AS the meet

the leader and with deep emotion, said:
There is a retired army officer living
near me. for whom l have had deep
concern for long time. His daughter,
a Christian woman, has often talked
with me about him. My duty has now
become clear. 1 am going to seek
him out and try and win him for
Christ" There are thousands Of men,
old and young men. who are waiting
for the kindly conversation of neigh
Dor or friend to attract them to per-
sonal attachment to Christ.-Ram' S

Notice Of Trains.

An ingenious electric train bulletin
has been installed by the Chicago and
Alton Railway Company in number
of it's stations, and in some Of the
principal hotels in cities and towns
through which it's trains run. The de-
vice resembles a clock in appearance,
a hand moves on a dial and indicates
whether the train is on time, or, If not,
how many hours or minutes it is late.
All these bulletins in one town act ST.
multaneously and indicate the same
fact. The operator at the station con-
trolls them all, using a device similar
to telegraph instrument controlled by
telegraph key.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseasedportiono ofthe ear: THERE'S only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
int1amed condition of the mucous lining OF
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube isin-
famed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness Is the result, and unless the infam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever. Nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh which is nothing but an
infamed condition OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case OF Deafness( caused by catarrh) that can

Hats Must Have Crowns.

Many of the new capelines have very
decided crowns, particularly those that
have the brims bent about capriciously
more or less in imitation of the forms
worn under the Directoire and first
Empire, and with the same style of
trimming. Georgette has very ef-
fective model of this sort on view. 1t
is in Leghorn straw trimmed with the
thinnest of taffeta ribbon, light brown
glace with maize, which provides a
large bow for the right side and knot
to secure on the opposite side hand

Lack OF Faith,

What vast proportion of our lives
is spent in anxious and useless fore
bodings concerning the future-either
our own or those of our dear ones.
Present joys present blessings slip by
and We miss half their flavor, and aR
for want of faith in Him who provides
for the tinieSt insect in the sunbeam.
Oh, when shall we learn the sweet
trust in God that our little children
tell us every day by their contiding
faith in US? We, who are so mutable,
so faulty, so irritable, so unjust; and
He, who is so watchful, so pitiful, so
loving, so forgiving? Why cannot we,
slipping our hand into His each day,
walk trustingly over that days APP
pointed path, thorny or fiowery,
crooked or straight, knowing that even

Sum lner Gowns.

Yelling gowns, which are 80 tremen-
dously in favor this summer, have silk
waists and jackets, as have also the
batiste and chiffon gowns. An indetl-
mite number of different styles are con-
stantIy being brought forward. The
boleros, Etons, and the other small
jackets, all on the elaborate style, have
been talked about and written about
for so long time that they cannot
be classed as novelties, but 1t is a de-
cided novelty to see a yelling gown
with fitted silk waist that has quite
the effect of 4 jacket.-Harper's
