A CHRISTMAS THOUdnr.
[Bv F. E. sTUReEs, BETHEL, CONN. l

In the XXVIII chapter of Mathew, we find the comforting words of Jesus, "All Hail! Be not afraidv' These were His first words after He arose from the grave. The women wenta looked into the sepulcher to find Jesus. not y,e; for know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucitied. He is not here; for He is risen. Come and see the place where the Lord lay" And they departed quickly from the sepulcher with fear and great joy; and did run to them on the way, saying, Ali hail" " And they held Him by the feet, and worshipped. Then said Jesus unto them: "Be not afraid.'' Tell my brethren in Galilee they shall see me. The first words that our Master spoke when He arose from the grave were "All hail, Be not afraid" They might we'll be- called voices from the tomb How cheerful they sound. No chill, no terror, no dread, no ghastly fog of comes from the Spirit land, from the regions of the dead, and His message has no fear. It is full of spiritual cheer and love. What strange inter- pretation of the grave is this? What has the grave to say to you and to me What cheer has it? What comfort has it? What does it say but II am the end of all.''
 We go from the clasping and the kiss to the grave, which has neither look wistfully into it's dark bosom. As the soil drums upon the coffin with horror in the sound, it seems to say "All is forever over" Earth to earth, ashes to ashes. But Christ comes from the grave on the first Easter morn and His voice has different message. "All Hail, Be not afraid" We are |, h cred | and cOmfOrted now and feel that that | One has come at last who holds the so | lutiOn of the mystery of death. Now | let US try to understand this resurrec- tion joy. Mankind in all ages has ap- preached the grave with fear and | trem bling. The desire to live beats strongly in the heart of all our race. l We hardly begin the joy of life when | Nor can we contemplate without a shudder of grief and horror, the lay Ing away of those dear to us. The earnest wish is that we shall meet again.
 The desire for immortality is not di- unfinished as our race grows more intelligent, but is rather increased.
 Men do not like to lie down in the | grave forever. In answer to this deep longing, Christ on His joyful day cries,
 '.All Hail" That is His first message,
 the Easter voice. How our hear Us
 leap with joy. He comes as the con- queror of death; comes from the tomb and says, Be not afraid.''
 | Death IS different from what you thought. Death is sleep, it
 is but the passage-way to life. Death
 is not the putting out of life, but it is
 the changing of the circumstances of
 life, When we see cloud passing
 over the face of the sun, however
 black, or threatening it may appear, flight. The cloud will pass and the
 sun shine as strong as ever. So death l is but cloud on the horizon of life.

 VARIED POSSIBILITIES.
 Braiding in gilt on chiffon is easily done or chiffon appliques in exquisite colOringS may be had by the yard, and taken apart and tastefully grouped at .the end of chiffon scarf is the "top notch" of style. Real lace is Of course
 first choice, but those are beyond the means of most women. Ruffs of lace, maiine or malinette are an attractive substitute for the genuine article, and plaited silk edged by fur (with lace be- neath1 is also in vogue. Fur is now so generally worn that no woman feels that her dress is con- plete without a handsome set or at least some fur trimming. Sable make handsme edge, chinchilla sets off gowns of neutral tint, and broadtatl braided with Soutache and gold threads, is an elegant garniture for velvetgOwnS. Fur toQues, with single, large rose, are very stylish, and just now, furs are | an interesting question, not only from the severity of the Winter, but c. C.. Shayne'S January reduction enables one to purchase at great advantage, particularly as the reliability of this house is beyond all question. FANS AND JEwELRY.
 Fans are of all sizes and textures, the
 Empire fans keeping pace with En- pire styles in gowns or wraps. Some fans are merely spangled, others are
 ornate and costly. Lace fans (medium
 sized) with mother-of-pearl sticks are
 pre-eminent, next comes the lace bor-
 der. with hand painted figures below. l Others show figures and spangles on chiffon in great variety. Ostrich
 feather fans are not very large, which
 of co urse reduces their cost.

The OUTLOOK.

Low A feature of the annu-
 Teaching al report of the Con-
 Standard. necticut State Board of Educa tion, just made public at Hart ford, is the sharp indictment of the low standard of teaching in many To- calities, and the urgent demand for more Normal school graduates. The report says that the number of teach CTS turned out by the three State Nor nal schools is less than half enough Ii to @ supply the demand4 4~and that during the year under review there were in -tthaee tthaee state 1O0s-oeachers who had re- eeived no morethan common school education, and who began work as the nerest tyros in teaching. Our low and vacillating standard of fitness will prove disastrous concession to local control if the gradual increase of wages encourages an inundation of untrained and incompetent teachers from other states-a danger already partially and increasingly apparent, says the report.

There is positive economy in the evening wear, as they will (if we'll made) be fashionable next Summer, provided no radical changes take place. Then too, many thin fabrics are so reasonable in price, commencing at soc although really good quality net is $1 per yard. Brussels net is good in vestment, either white, black or colored, the skirt trimmed with ruffies of the same, put on in points or seal without bertha. Satin ribbon in graduated widths is simple and inex- pensive tri inning.
 RIBBON TRIMMINGS.
 Ribbons are used to an unlimited ex- tent made into imitation roses, ViOletS 8 and other flowers, usually with hang ing ends whenused on bertha or ove r the shoulders of an evening dress. They are also valuable aid in cOncoct- ing fancy jumper waists, bretelles, or Etons, and not unfrequently entire gowns are of lace and ribbon. Some writers call the jumper an lover blouse," which is to some extent cor rect, as it requires two waists to make up the jumper.

The name of Stein is the one given to the master of this sckool, ,and although he has been in this country for five years he could not talk English. The exercises which boy has to go through to prepare him for pickpocket are exercises which promote iightness of touch Npd- --GHfckness of handling Stein was convicted of his infamous business by the testimony of Hymar GroSsman, a 14-year old boy, who was in the senior class in the pickpockeJ's the boys were trained to snatch purses and to pick pockets, and he did it so deftly that there was no question but what the training had been thorough and complete. A pupil in Stein's school was not considered to be grad- uated until he had been able to pick the pocket of his teacher without his knowing it. When he arrived at that proficiency he was ready to work his trade CD the street. It is pity that some men will spend their time train ing children to grow up in crime.
