A POETS SELECTION.
Markham on the Greatest Passage In
English Literature.

To ask for the one most justly cele-
brated passage in English prose litera-
ture Is like asking for the one most
justly celebrated sort of fruit in the
orchard There are easily a score of
equally worthy passages, each one max
ing its especial appeal to a different
mood of the mind.
Ruskln's description of Turner's
slave ship satisfies our love for the ma
jestic color and motion of the sea.
De Quincey's reverie on the nebula in
Orion carries a sense of the vastness
and mystery of the sky. Pater's pic
turing of the shield of Hercules re-
builds for us the light and life of
buried Hellas. Swinbnrnes eulogy of
Rossetti astounds us with the splendor
and speed of his words. lie Gallienne's
prose fancy, 1.-THE Twelve Wells" stirs
our hearts with the precious disquiet of
old sorrows. Victor Hugo's grafton in
1.-The Man Who Laughs" awakens in
us the ennobling passion of humanity.
Lincoln's Gettysburg speech bushes the
soul with its fine appeal to the heroic
in the heart of man.
l might go on to mention Emerson,
Poe, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Lake Har-
ris, Jeremy Taylor as well as st. Mat
thew, st. John, Isaiah, Job and other
peers In the parliament of words,
but l content myself with making the
one selection that Is perhaps my IA
vorite in most of my moods. / refer
to that stately and sonorous passage
from Carlyle's "Sartor Resartus"
where he sees history as stupendous
procession forth-issuing from Gimme
rian night and vanishing into pathetic
and fathomless silence. Here is the
passage:
Like some wild flaming, wild thun-
dering train Of heavens artillery does
this mysterious mankind thunder and
flame In long drawn, quick succeeding
grandeur through the unknown deep.
Like Gud created, fire breathing spir-
1t host, we emerge from the inane, haste
~s,+orrnf1llv across ts~e "~torisbad Nartb !,
then plunge Again into the inane.
Earth's mountains are leveled and
her seas filed up in our passage. Can
the earth, which is but dead and a
vision, resist spirits which have real
lty and are alive? On the hardest ada
mant some footprint of us Is stamped
in; the last rear of the host will read
traces of the earliest van. But whence?
o heaven, whittier? Sense knows not,
faith knows not only that 1t is through
mystery to mystery, from God to God"
Edwin Markham in Success.
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1907-01-30
The Word "sfnister."

OF sinister a writer says: How
charged, since the time of the Romans
is this simple word with dubious
things, with suggestions that are ever
terriblei 1t seems to convey the vague
threat of dreams-the threat that is
something worse than the clear menace
of trouble in waking hours. Man want
ed word for such terrors and took
the mere name of the left hand. This
would serve as well as another, seeing
that all words which we have filled
with mental emotions had a grossly
material beginning, as bitter and
sweet Emerson says that all Ian.
guage is fossil poetry, but the reverse
is true-human language has grown
into poetry and has come to life with
time"

l have often had occasion to protest
against the widely hugged delusion OF
beef tea being highly nutritious food
AS have stated, 1t Is a stimulant and
has the Objectionable quality of render
ing the bowels lax. In old age there
is an opposite natural tendency-ai
least, that is the rule. When this rule
obtains and there is weakness we shall
find In strong beef tea most valuable
medicine. But do not commit the mis-
take of regarding the stuff as food
says Home Notes. 1t will so stimulate
the body that food can be taken; it will
so stimulate 1t that the person will
feel better, but 1t is making him live on
his vital capital. Beef tea is no more
nourishing than brandy.

BROWN CHIFFON vELUTINA COSTUME.
wears better than any of the cheaper
grades of silk velvet, and, being very
reasonable in price, we can all enjoy
the delightful sensation of an elegant
gown or suit. The corded velutina is
best suited for entire costumes and
makes ideal visiting gowns. 1t will
take any kind of trimming, but re-
quires very little
In the best new wOolens from abroad
we have rather lighter weights, but no
less fine and desirable goods. They are
so fine that one must look closely to
note the design. There are pebble and
sable surfaces. some of these having
an over design of herringbone stripe
showing in some lights only, but full
of surprises as it folds. Another de-
sign has narrow stripes of satin sur
face between plain sable or '.sanded"
weave. This, like the entirely plain
sable, Is the gentlewoman's choice.
Still another has the sabled foundation
with tiny basket squares along the sur
face. The object seems to be to OBJ
tain the most unobtrusive and refined
design possible, and with these almost
invisible zigzags and stripes the manu-
facturers have done it.
There are lines of different weights
of plain iron frame grenadine or voile
in the finest Australian wool, some
closely woven and others as coarse as
sleeves. These are to be made up over
very lustrous taffeta, satin or col
ored silk. The effect is beautiful
whether over black or colors.
Among the novelties we find chiffon
broadcloth, chiffon cloth, messaline,
chiffon velutina and chiffon velutina
cord for entire costumes in chiffon
weight and chevreau finish. These are
black and colored and are very beauti-
full to look upon. The illustration
shows a chiffon velutina in brown,
with tan silk revers and narrow SOU
tache braid. The straps on the skirt
are Of the velutina.

THE SEASONS FABRICS.
sew Silks, Velvets and Woo1en Dress
Goods Now Displayed.

1t is many years since silks have had
the prominence that is given item this
season. While woolen fabrics are nat
urally the accepted materials for every
day wear, and some of them will be
worn even at very swell functions-all
depending upon the way they are made
and trimmed-the best dresses for all
occasions where handsome effects are
desired will be made of the new and
superb silks. | knew when | saw the
determined efforts of the French dress
makers toward the adoption of the en-
pire modes that heavy silks would be-
come necessary, and now we have
them, after more than fifteen years Of
flimsy and fragile silks, and we have
them now for sure and certain.
Among the newest of the silks we
find taffeta in all the seasons colors
and in various weights to suit the de-
mands of all, but there are also solid
and lustrous fabrics to fill the' heart
with full satisfaction. The thick and
rich pompadour silks in all their lovely
colors are seen, as well as heavy bro
cades. | noticed several different de-
signs of the chene silks in their soft
and delightfully."- vague patterns of flow
ers which seem to melt into the ground
work like snow crystals on the win
dow sill. There are ribbons to match,
some being sash width and some mar
row for hat trimming and for all sorts
of things made by the skilled fingers of
the dressmakers in the shape of ro-
settes, quillings and ruffles
These silks are American, and Amer
lean women should ask for them, par
ticularly when they are so handsome
and new. The old Bonnet silk in llls-
trous but not shining black is seen
again in many of the most elegant of
the new gowns, and they are garnished
with rich lace, silk embroidery, silk
castle braid and fine jet wrought in
the lace or braid by hand. This makes
trimming that shows its value from
afar without being garsh or overdone.
There are several weights and all
colors in satin, which has been little
worn for many years. Satin has the
effect of making one appear slender,
and, slenderness being fashionable
now, it Is going to be popular. Much
Lyons velvet will be worn in gowns
and wraps, principally in black, but
the velutina and velutina cords which
are produced in all the seasons colors
will take a well deserved place among
the rich and beautiful fabrics for late
autumn and winter wear. The plain
velutina is of a close pile, very solid,
and, being mercerized, it is as rich In
appearance as the heaviest Lyons silk
velvet, which is prohbitive in price
for all but the wealthy. This velutina
