 The constant attention needed to prevent street skirts from becoming frayed or "pucKered" around the bot tom will not be necessary if skirts are finished in the following way: Buy best quality woolen dress braid, shrink it thoroughly, and stitch hem one- eighth inch wide in one edge of 1t Sew to under side of skirt allowing hem on braid to extend below bottom of skirt. The braid will never fray and will not shrink and draw" the skirt.
 Never sew with bent needle, It is out of the question to do good work with it, and never pin the work to the hem. Sit well back in your chair, keep your back straight, and hold the work up to yon, instead of bending over to it. These little hints are important, as they insure far less fatigue.

SCIENCE CROPPING IN DARK.
In Vain Search for the Immaterial,
Says Writer.

Science stands to-day upon the
brink of the abyss Of infnity. trying
with net to catch the immaterial.
1t has explored the EARTH its tele-
scopes have swept the stupendous
vaults of the heavens; its microscopes
have searched out the innermost- re-
cesses of the minute, and in both di-
rections it has been halted by the
same thing-infinity.
Science, after a century and half
of scoffing at the immaterial, is now
trying eagerly to grasp it. BafIied by
phenomena that it has striven vainly
to explain on material hypothesis ii is
forced at last TO the unwelcome
conclusion that there is something
more than understanding which
all its telescopes and all it's micro
scopes are powerless to discover.
Science has not yet seen the imma-
terial, but 1t has at last-and how re-
acknowledgements its existence.
Now the advance skirmishers of
science. cropping bindly in the dark
ness of the unknown, are setting traps
for the immateral, hoping with beat
ing hearts to solve the riddle of life
and death, to prove the immaterial. to
demonstrate its properties and to codi-
fly its laws.
Those who have maintained the
simple faith-the answering faith in
the infallibility of their own ignorance
may now from the heaven-piercfng
peak of their simplicity look down up
on the vain struggles Of the scientists,
their fantastic efforts to weigh the
soul, their charlatanic assertions that
| they can picture it, their plastic cred
ulty to the shams of takers who pre-
tend to re-embody the spirits of the
dead, and all the other grotesque con.
| tortions Of the wise men who believe
/ nothing they cannot understand
All this is but striving to attain to
something which the believer has pos.
sessed always; 1t may succeed-who
can tell? But, when the immaterial
shall have been caught IN the butter
fly nets Of science. when the limitless
fields of infinity shall have been tri
angulated-then all men will recog
nize these newest discoveries of sci
ence as an DID, old thing which the
world in its childlike simplicity has
called Eternity and God-Arthur Ben
ington, in Chicago American.

BELLS OF OLD HOLLAND.
Ancient Chimes That Have Delighted
the Dutch for Centuries.

From the earliest times the people
loved their bells and chimes that the
architecture of their belfries and
steeples shows marked traces or IL.
Most of these are of opep-work de-
sign, so that the bells might be heard
in the widest circumference. writes
The Hague correspondent of the Chi
cago Daily News. Beautiful examples
of this style can be seen in the cathe-
dral towers of Utrecht and Delft. Sew
eral of the smaller towns possess even
finer specimens, either in their church
spires or in the belfries of watch tow
ers. Like the well-known belfry OF
Monnikendam, these towers generally
stood in the principal squares. me
bells were tolled in case OF danger, TO
alarm the burghers, or to call them
together for important communica'
lions. Such tower Is that of Bruges,
OF which Longfellow sings!
In the market place of Bruges
Stands the belfry. old and brown.
.rhrice destroyed and thrice rebuilded,
Still IL watches Ger the town.
In Holland there is scarcely a place
of Importance that does not have one
or more towers with chimes. The
tunes of these are changed once or
twice year, generally on New Years
day. This is so at The Hague and
Utrecht. Some places, however, are
not content with this and have the
tunes changed oftener. 1t is on rec
ord that in one town, which had fine
carlton cast by the famous Hemony
in 1877. 1t was decreed that the tunes
should be changed every fortnight or
at least once month, so fond were
the burghers OF their bells.
In a time when clocks were by no
means general the church bells were
the timekeepers for the burghers. The
heavier bell struck the hours and the
lighter bell the half hours. If these
were chimes they played a tune at
noon and another at midnight, while
before the stroke OF the hour or di'
vision Of the hour part of the tune
would be played.
The inscriptions on the bells are
generally In rhyme and made to read
as If the bell itself is telling Its name
and the history of Its making. Hol.
land still possesses many of these
ancient bells, notably in the province
of Friesland. The earliest authenti.
Gated bell is that of Krommenie. cast
in 1896 by Rodolphus de Montigny
Most bells now in existence were,
however, cast in the fifteenth, six.
teenth or seventeenth centuries.
The reformation brought a change
in the naming of bells. The Catholic
saints were forsaken, and only Bibli-
cal or worldly names were allowed,
while the inscription also breathed
other views, as can be seen by com
pairing the bells cast in the seven
teenth century with those OF earlier
date. Those on the older bells have
purely religious significance, while
the later ones refer to worldly sub
jects, as, for instance, the famous bell
at Ham. which recounts In its In.
scription how II burst In 1866 "be-
cause II had too loudly pealed out its
Joy at the victory of the Dutch feet
over the English"
