What curious change has come
over the spirit of dress for the ma.
iron. Some 90 years since, she would
| perSIStently grant unto herself the
shelter Of the bonnet, nor dream of
taking her walks abroad save under
the kindly influence of the sacque or
cape, and she relegated to herself
sombre tones Of color, and some rigid
adherence to a conservative pattern
OF gown. Now she adopts every new
mode with aVidity, and determines on
sulting, or at least trying to suit, her
individuality to its wear. No muslin is
TOO light for her, no pink rosebuds too
juvenile; she will share alike with the
girl the privileges of the cotton wolfe,
the linen bolero, and the transparent
blouse, while she will surmount her
locks, dyed, fringed, curled, and even
purchased, by the last exigencies of
Fashions mandate for the millinery of
the hour. She is an obliging creature;
she will even paint her face to simu-
late the pink and white bloom of
youth.
In nine cases out Of ten such policy
excites pity when not contempt, and
the observer of intelligent comprehen-
sion will remember regretfully the at.
fractions of the lace cap and the soft
ening influence of grey hair.
However, in the tenth case the ma
tron is quite right to adopt the fash
ions OF the moment, but that tenth
case must show her slim, upright, not
too obtrusively wigged, and with the
hair of color to conceal rather than
reveal the wrinkles which Time plants
so unfortunately under the eyes and
round about the mouth.
Indeed, very model of a summer
dress for matron such as have in |

small white spots upon its surface; it's

THE STORY.

For days now the march had LED
teadily into the mountain Businesses
the Cloud leading on through winding
valley and under high cliff, and over
rugged pass, until even Moses, the
leader, began to wonder whittier the
journey was trending and why God
was shutting them in from the rest OF
the world. Once or twice he thought
he recognized places along the route
as ones which he had passed with
Aaron more than a year before on
their return from indian, but the
thought of gaining the Promised Land
was SO uppermost in his mind that he
mad persuaded himself that it could
not be. He spoke to Aaron about the
matter once, pointing out rock that
looked very like one under the shadow
OF which they had rested one night,
but the latter had considered it so i'm
probable that he finally dismissed the
thought from his mind.
So the journey had continued until
at last one day they suddenly came
into a valley which instantly Moses
recognized as the one leading to the
Mount OF God where he had stood be-
lore the burning bush and God had
spoken to him out of the midst there
or On either side there rose the lofty
rocks forming natural Isle like the
approaches to the temples Of Egvnt
which were lined with the colossal
figures Of men and gods. And at the
end OF this broad avenue, rising i'm
mediately out of the level plain over
which they were marching, lowered
the massive cliffs of Sinai, like the
huge altar of some natural temple.
The place was one to inspire rever-
'ence, and thoughts of worship. and
Moses and Aaron we're not alone in
these feelings, for as the multitude
halted at the sound of the trumnets
and began to pitch their tents. thew
talked together in low tones about Cod
having brought them to his temple
And when Moses departed up the
mountain it was whispered through the
camp that he had gone up to talk with
God. The events at Rephidim had
done much to arouse their con.
seriousness of God and during those
first days at the foot of Mount Sinai,
there was subdued, reverent spirit
pervading the camp, and when Moses
again came into their midst he found
q people watchful for his return and
ready to listen to the message he
might bring them.
And Moses called the elders Of Israel

Psalm 1911.

The Perfect Law.-That Law
is described by six names AS
Law 1t is a rule of conduct. As
Testimony it is Gods express
J sion Of truth. As Statutes and
Commandments it is Gods spe.
ciaI and general prescription Of
duty, with fear of God as its
cause. AS judgments 1t Is the
final judicial decision from
which there is no appeal.
The quality of that Law is
VariousIy described as Perfect,
lacking nothing; as Sure, never
falling; as Right, being un-
errlng; as Pure, possessing the
fragrance of Heaven; as Clean,
possessing the holiness of its
Divine Author; as True, the
foundation stone of His char.
acter, and Righteous, the eIo-
rious temple of His manifest
nature.
The effect of that Law is de-
cIared to be, Cd Converting,
that is, transforming into GodIi-
ness. (2) Making Wise the
Simple, that is, instructing. (3)
Rejoicing the Heart, that is,
satisfying all the souls yearn-
ings. (4) EnIightening the Eyes,
that is, giving clearer, higher
vision. (5) Enduring Forever,
that is, abiding with an unfaiI-
ing permanency.
The Value Of That LaW.-It is
more to be desired than much
fine gold, that is, it is more
precious than earthly treasure.
1t is sweeter than honey and
the honeycomb.
That LAWS Protective, for byit
is the soul warned of pitfalls
and dangers.
That Law is Recompensing,
for in the keeping of it there
is great reward.

Fireman Kelly Injured.

James Kelly, fireman on the Will
mar & Sioux Falls line, received in.
juries in the yards at Garretson last
Friday night which will lay him up
for some time. He is now at his home
in this city suffering from afractured
wrist and also the loss of two fingers,
the result of an accident that came
near causing the loss Of his entire
hand.
Mr.. Kelly was in the act of opening
the knuckle on the drawbar of his en-.
gine while making coupling of two
engines The other engine backed uI
and bumped in before the signal was
given and his right hand was caught,
so badly squeezing it and inficting
such an ugly wound that an amputa.
tion of the two middle fingers was
found necessary. The wrist was also
fractured and he was otherwise injured
on his arm. BE was cared for by a
physician there until he could be ta-
ken to his home here, where he ar.
rived the next morning. DR.. Nc
Laughlin is now attending him and

Death of: lnKebrjRt Hovoy.$

Ingebrigt Hovey, for many years q
resident of the town of Gennessee, died
on Wednesday of last week, at the
home OF his son John Hovey, near Eff
fington, S. D. He had been ailing
somewhat during the fall but was not
taken to his bed until on Monday,
two days before his death. The ply
sician summoned to attend him stated
that he had Inflammation about the
throat and head, but it is probable
that his advanced age was the princi.
pal cause of his death. The remains
were shipped to Atwater, and the fu-
neral was held on Wednesday of this
week. The services were conducted
by Rev. Sveen at the Norwegian Lu-
theran church, of which deceased was
a member, and the remains were in

Ingebrigt Hovey was born in Selbo,
Norway, in January 1880, and hence
was very nearly IS years OF age.
While still a resident of Norway he
married and five children, nsons,
were born to the union. In5l882; the
family came to this country and set
tied in the town of tennessee, where
he resided ever since. He was highly
