lHOOOHl-NlNDI SPARKS. BY REV Fl. A. PRICE: AUGSBURG, PA.
 The real great man is never pedant
 A rolling stone escapes discipline.
 The face is like an open book read by those who know and understand.
 Fear shears us of our locks and makes us weak as other men.
 Where enterprise is dead there is no go-ahead.
 A restless tongue is the betrayer of an inactive brain. He who has not learned to follow is unfit to lead. Faith is the vision of which love is the deed.
 Even thieves have their friends but that's no proof of their innocence.
 Only by the fruit can you tell the difference between tareS and wheat. He shows the highest wisdom, who life instead of a living.
 It's wise thing to keep the heart young by associating with young life The COW is so apt to forget that she was once 8 calf. There comes a sweet satisfaction to the life of that man, who minds his own business and does his work as we'll as he can.

JUST SMILE.
BY REV H. A. PRICE.

The value of 8 smiling face cannot be computed. But this we know, that many an one is making his life count and is being helped to forge to the front, because of the atmosphere he creates by being of Good Cheer. And what others are doing you can do, if you will. So Cheer up and Smile! Nothing attracts more than a smiling face, neither is there anything more contagious. And this is something all can do, and in which both the giver and receiver are blest. It costs so little and is worth so much. Give a smile and low! back it comes with in- terest compounded. Just look up and laugh, it's hygen1c. Give to others Good Cheer and you receive Sunshine in return. Smile and the world smiles with you, frown and you walk alone. So, why be gloomy and sad when it hurts you and benefits no one? Come now, be of Good Cheer and Smile! Why not?

 Fancy stitches in knitting render the golf sweater quite attractive, but after all it is the wearer from whom we must expect a great degree of charm, not the homely garment which envelopes her. Considerable variety edged by ribbing, of the blouse or Eton style, the Norfolk or the double breasted box coat shape. Soft felt hats are the rule and when found trou- blesome are put in ones pocket with out essential injury. Very little op- portunity is afforded for displaying handsome costumes in autOmObiling, as clOaks are in general use, either of pOngee, linen or silk, or the new rubber-lined silk cloaks of crimson, blue, silver-gray or brown.

 Yachting suits include many mate rials, even lace, but usually the most recherche ones are made to order. At recent yachting party, white serge suit, ordered especially from Lord & Taylor of New York City, attracted admiration from it's simplicity and elegance. White silk braid in fancy weave trimmed the skirt in lengthwise rows, and was used in cross straps on the jacket fronts and back, where fan-Shaped pieces of paSsementerie were attached above and below the cr0ss-straps. Needless to say, the jacket was an Eton, with poStilion back, worn over a ciel-blue silk waist, and matching embroidery edged the Eton.
 Besides these mediums of display the Newport Casino is frequented by some of the most noted devotees of fashion in America. A Sea-green meS- saline gown worn there recently at a dance by Chicago blonde, seemed to possess peculiar charm from the con- trast in color between the young girls beautiful golden hair and the silvery green hue of the material. The skirt was trimmed with folds of the messa- line, finished by shirring, giving an over- skirt effect. The corsage at front was cut very low and filled in by point d'esprit net; the back and sleeves were also entirely of net. A short sash of messaline and 8 cluster of pink roses at the waist gave pretty finish. Fall and Winter millinery will probably show an extreme in the opposite direc- tiOn from the one of the last two sea- sons, which was often beautiful though very expensive and incOnvenient.

What may not be accomplished in the matrimonial market of Newport by an elegant yachting suit, a becOm- ing golf outfit, or handsome coaching cOstume-a place wherein wealth is estimated by the million rather than the thousand, and where some of the owners thereof are ready to be cap tivated, provided the attraction is sufficiently strong. Outdoor sports are well calculated to show off personal charms, as for example, exercise at golf causes cheeks to glow and eyes to sparkle, while an elegant pose on the top of coach, or becoming languor on the deck of yacht, are all within the possibilities of fascination.
 Coaching costumes are 8 matter of taste. Very:charming ones areIof white or colOred linen, differing in no essen tial point from those for ordinary wear. Cloth suits are rather more sensible, and gay huttOns, straps, patches or bands of cOlOred embroidery make a very pretty showing on white or pale hues. Silk-lined voile, elaborately trimmed with chiffon, both tucked and shirred, was the selection made by a dashing Chicago belle, for a coaching party last week. The color was a soft brown, lined with pale yellow, hat and parasOl of a lighter brown. Silk or serge suits are also in vogue, ,and wraps may be cape shape, three-Quarter length, or the small jacket, which seems destined to charm on all occa-

New York, April 1.-THE general
scale committee of the anthracite mine
workers went into executive session
at the miners headquarters during
the day to consider the counter propo-
sition made by the coal operators for
settlement of the differences exist
ing between the idle mine workers and
their employers.
The offer of the mine owners to
have the anthracite strike commits.
sion consider only two questions
wages and a method to adjust COM
plaints-is far from satisfactory to
the men, according to w. H. Dettrey,
president of the Miners union In the
Middle hard coal field. He said that
he will not accept the proposition In
It's present shape and he felt sure his
colleagues also will decline to enter
tain the operators plan.
At noon the scale committee took a
recess for an hour and half. During
the forenoon session there was free
discussion, in which most of the thirty
six members of the scale committee
participated. The general sentiment
was in favor of accepting the strike
commission to arbitrate the differ
ences, but all the committeeman are
opposed to agreeing to the operators
offer as it stands.
