For evening hats feathers are the
approved trimming. The osprey and
paradise feathers are the most popu.

Volumes could be written ABOUT the
fancy little coats this season and still
leave half the story untold.
The fad for purple is amounting to
craze. Clematis, morning glories
and all manner of purple flowers are
bidding for favor.
Crystal buttons on the colored silk
vest give bright touch to the most
somber of costumes.
Among the imported novelty rib
,bons are Shantung, pompadour, gauze,

stronger. and If the present indica-
tions are reliable purple tones will be
the leaders.

sOUL-BUILDING.

Souls are built as temples are
Sunken deep, unseen, unknown,
Lies the foundation stone.
Then the courses framed to bear
Lift the cloisters pillared fair,
Last Of all the airy spire,
Soaring heavenward, higher and higher,
Nearest sun and nearest star.
Souls are built as temples are
Based on earth's eternal law.
Sure and steadfast, without flaw.
Through the sunshine, through the SHOWS
Up and on the building goes;
Every fair thing finds its place,
Every hard thing lends grace,
Every hand may make or mar.

Don't imagine you're on the road
for fun-it's business you are look
ing for.
Don't spend your money like a
drunken sailor. Remember there is
mine years of plenty and nine years
of destitution"
Don't flirt with the girls in the de-
partments. You lose prestige.
Don't forget that you must be a
gentleman at all times.
Don't forget that it is cheaper to
travel on mileage than it is to pay
cash fare.
Don't forget to check your baggage
before you leave.
Don't forget that If you sell goods
in the morning, try to do business
in the afternoon. as tomorrow may
be bum" day.
Don't forget to write your firm
daily If you do business or not. Let
them know you are alive.
Don't forget to wear clean linen.
1t looks good and costs little.
Don't forget to use good English,
as it leaves an impression on your
customer.
Don't forget to send your order in
correct. 'Stuffing" an order is poor
policy.
Don't try to sell more to the buyer
than he can use in your line; don't
attempt to tell funny stories to people
that you are not very intimate with.

The Allegheny a Canal.

The slackwatering of the Allegheny
river from Pittsburg 10 Qlesn, n. Y, is
contemplated in the establishment of
l2-foot waterway from the Smoky City to
Lake Ontario. A delegation from the
Rochester, n. Y, Cham ber OF Commerce
met with the Rivers and Harbors Com

merce at The latter place last week and
discussed the scheme. The Rochester
people are sure that The plan is practical
BILE. Mechanical liit-locks and j0-foot
dams are the solutions they advance.
This would enable the running of 1900
ton barges.
Up the Allegheny river to Olean, n.
Y; over the Divide at Cuba and then
down the Genesee river past Rochester to
Lake Ontario is the route proposed.
Years ago there was small canal along
the same line. 1t is estimated by the
Rochester experts that thirty.five locks,
of 2,0l5 feet total locksge, will be suffi-
cient to reach Pitlsburg. They would
vary from eighteen lifts of so feet to one

Austria, easily accomplished by mechan-
ical lift-locks. 1t is claimed a barge can
be raised 100 feet by the hydraulic raise
in the same time that it takes to pass over
a six-ioot lock of the gate system.

moters that not only would the loss to
Pittsburg of millions by floods be avert.

by the waterway would cause it to pay

A point upon which especial emphasis
is laid is that the proposed canal would

Smith was one of the founders of that
great Institution and it was there
Representative aud Mrs. Wheeler met.
Mrs. Smith is first cousin of Mrs. Phi
Pennsylvania.
Almost at the beginning OF their mar
ried life they began to work for the up
lifting of those not so fortunate, and they
have kept at it ever since. In all the
great work for others which has occupied
their thoughts the cultivation of their
own children and themselves has not
been neglected. Mr.. and Mrs. Wheeler
are companions of their children, and
they form the gayest and happiest little
party imaginable for trayel or for work.
Miss Wheeler is graduate of Ogontz
college, near Philadelphia, and charm
ingly cultivated young woman. She has
travelled everywhere in this country and
abroad, and is an interesting type ofloysl
American young womanhood She
greatly resembles her mother in her
bronze type. Miss Wheeler and her
mother are both good musicians, espec-
tally pianistes, aud Mrs. Wheeler only
proves her unusual character by her hav-
ing pursued her practicing and study Of
piano playing during all her married life,
when new duties and many of them are
so apt to force ones accomplishments to
the wall. She is still a delightful pian-
iste. Every season finds the family in
New York at some time during the grand
opera at the Metropolitan. They are all
sppreciative OF the best in music
Mrs. Wheeler and her daughter are
more fond of music, painting and reading
than they are OF teas and receptions, and
their library is one of the most valuable
in Pennsylvania. They care not for the
limelight, but they will be important
additions to the conservative and cultivat-
ed sets in Washington society.
Their sons will join them here for the
holidays and will take part in the various
festivities always arranged for the college
glee clubs here, during these gay times.
They made flying visit here at the
Thanksgiving season, the family arriving
just in time TO spend the day with their
relatives, Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Smith, with
whom Miss Rae Wheeler has spent a
portion of each season since her gradua-
| ton.
