MINOR ARTICLES OF DECORA-
TT0N

There are several ways by which
the 1ivable quality is reached in the
furnishing of the home. One is
through the Introduction of some Of
the minor articles that combine util-
dty and decoration. Jardinieres and
holders for cut flowers are among
this class, and fortunately for this
large majority of homes where only
moderate outlay may be made in
this direction there is a wide range
in choice and price. The decoration
of the house with plants and flowers
was, until of late years, confined
chiefly to the cottage window dis
play of geraniums, and in finer dwell
lings to a formal arrangement on gala
occasions with foliage plants from
the florists; but nowadays the deco
rative quality of plant life brought
indoors is, with the awakened inter-
est in beautifying the home, better ap-
preciated. Flowers on the dining
table, plants in the living room, eX-
periments in seed raising in the
nursery and even miniature fern
cry in the bathroom, are not i1fre-
quently seen at the present time.
A jardiniere, to be "thing OF
beauty" must be of good design.
harmoniously colored, and suited to
its environment. These three re-
quirements are not easy to meet, but
they are essential for the all round
success of the jardiniere. A common
! mistake in selecting this. article Is
to forget the relative Importance OF
the plant and its holder. A jar tha,
is glaring in color and too ornate
in design, defeats its object of fram
ing the plant.--New York Journal:

in Dahomey. 1t IS along these Hnea.,
whether you choose to recognize it or
not, thatdanger lies; and the church's
relation to that problem is one, after
all, which is in the hands Of every
one to whom I am speaking. How
much do you know of the life Of the
workingman? How much time have
you given to understanding it or to
soften it or to inspire it? It is not
the giving Of money, or the creation
of charitable institutions that builds
up the feeling OF brotherhood among
men. The poor man resents our con-
or your gold: he wants recognition Of
his manhood. The shop girl wants
you to honor her womanhood; to re-
spect her in the task in which she is
toiling and suffering. You can do
much to make that task easier and
create an atmosphere in which she
and you can move alike as members
of the same divine society and fellow
soldiers under the same Master.
That brings into view the relation
of the church to these great social
problems. You and ] somehow or
other must bring the man who works.
with his hands to recognize his place,
his right, his Office, his calling in the
church Of God. The first business Of
the church is to place her houses Of
worship at the service Of the people
who work with their hands and then
in the life of the church to encourage
that spirit which will help us to un-
derstand and to serve it. There is
but one way to do that. Instead of
turning to any ism" of the hour or
theory of social reconstruction, or
any new philosophy which UNDER
takes to re-create society upon theo-
ries which are essentially barbaric in
their nature, you and must go back
and look into the face of the Master
and find in Him the secret of our ser
| vice and our triumph

A PRAYER.

Soul of our souls. Thou to whom
we turn for life and health, inspire
and quicken us, and by our worship
prepare us for our work. Give rs
steadfast spirit, heart enslaved by
no appetite or passion, a will guided
by wisdom and firm for the right.
Give power to work and power to
wait. mercifully look upon our in
firmities and those evils, which by
our frailty. our sin, or our ignorance
we have invited, turn from us.
Transform evil into good. Out OF
mortal weakness bring forth immor-
tai strength. May the fire purify.
and not consume; and, when we pass
through the rivers, may they not
overwhelm us. Stay with us from
dawn till .eventide. Should the way
be rough and gloomy, may we put
our hand in Thine, and, if we are
led out into the dark, still let us hold
fast by Thee, and cast away fear. In
the crush and clang Of life, may a
blessed calm often visit us, telling
that Holy Ghost has entered in,
and will not leave us till we bid Him

MAx1Ms OF A WORLDLY WOMAN

If men would pay their wives
more attentions they would have to.
pay fewer bills. Many woman tries
to smother the ache in her heart by
pi1ing real lace over it.
No woman is so circumspect as
she who has something to hide.
A man is as old as his arteries.
A woman Is as old as her articles.
- There are women who have : SO
many children it leaves them no time
in which to be mother.
The servant question will never be
settled until perfect woman is born
who has every virtue under the sun
and is willing to work for fifteen dol
lars a month.
The real test of self-abnegating
friendship between women is when
one woman refrains from telling an
other that her new hat is ten years
too young for her.
Pity opens the gales to the heart
Envy locks and bars them. This is
why the poor have more friends than
the rich.
Love is the only thing that is eter.
nal. We remember the foolish fond
words of affection that some one said
to US long after we have forgotten the
wise advice of the sage or the vitu-
peration of our enemies.
A woman can no more help prob
ing into a secret that it will break
her heart to know than she can help
pressing her tongue against a sore
tooth.
Most men expect to be passed into
heaven on their wives church let
ters.
When children take prizes at school,
their father boasts to his friends
about how he is bringing up his boys
and girls. When they break the neigh
bors' windows, he makes sarcastic
remarks about how their mother is
raising them.
The grounds in ths coffee pot fur
nish the grounds for many divorce.

Gently walked Cor the first time in
thirteen months. For long time she
had been bedridden with dropsy and
rheumatism. She heard of a man suf-

had been cured by fasting, and re-

remedy. She claims she will be COM
pletely cured in a few weeks.
The presence in San Bernardina Of
DR.. Tanner, who tasted for forty days,

several months, is said to have en-
couraged Mrs. Barry in her drastic
method of treatment and adds addi-

Says the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
If people must wear coverings for
their heads-and there is such a ne
cessity under certain conditions-the
straw hat as a sunshade and the cap
as a scalp warmer would seem to be
appropriate. For all round utility the
cap is probably the best headgear
ever invented. It might not be a
bad idea to have an international COM

lem.

OvERWElGHED EIGHT POUNDS
Moran's Only Hope For Victory
Was to Land Knockout, But Ow-

Was Badly Handicapped.

COLISEUM RINK, San Francis
co, Sept. 3O.-After twenty rounds Of
fast fighting, during which he prac-
ticalIy cut his opponent to ribbons,
Owen Moran, the English feather
weight, was given the decision over
Eddie Hanlon, the California light
weight. Moran's inability to score a
knockout was doubtless due to the
fact that Hanlon weighed fully eight
pounds more than he. In only one
round, the thirteenth, did Hanlon
have advantage and started in to
make his fight from the tap of the
gong and kept incessantly after his
opponent, until the contest had ter
minated. From the first Hanlon real
lied he was no match for the English
man and that the only hope Of ulti-
mate victory lay in close range fight
ing. Moran was not caught mapping
and kept up merciless pepperihg on
Hanlon's face and in the seventh had
blood flowing in streams from Han
Ions mouth and nostris. In the thir-
teenth the Englishman was caught
while in a neutral corner. Hanlon
shot wicked right to the stomach
that sent Moran to mid-ring. Han
Ion followed his advantage with a
couple of face smashers That was as
far as he got for the Briton covered
and when the round terminated went
smiling to his corner, From then on
Moran smashed Hanlon almost at
will.

unanimous decision OF the three
Judges. So brief were the proceed
ings that but a single representative
of the Southern Pacific Company had
put in an appearance at the time, and
court had adjourned when the other
attorneys reached the Federal build
ing,
The action decided today was in
stituted by the Southern Pacific and
the Oregon & California Railway af-
ter the announcement of an increase
in the rates on rough lumber from
the Willamette Valley in Oregon to
San Francisco and other bay points.
The railways announced that the
rate, which was $40 per 1000 feet,
was to be increased to SIS. A protest
was filed with the Interstate Com
merce Commission by the Associated
Lumber Dealers Of the Northwest,
and the Commission, after investiga-
ton, decided that $3,40 per 1000 was
reasonable rate. The objection OF
the railways to this decision took the
form Of a suit for an Injunction to

ment to an application for an in
junction filed by the Southern Pacific
Company seeking to restrain the In
terstate Commerce Commission from
establishing a rate upon lumber be-
tween Oregon and California, the
United States Circuit Court Of Ap-
peals today rendered decision which
upholds the authority of the Commits
sion to fix freight charges upon what
it considers a just and equitable
basis, and sustains, in its direct ap-
plication, the most important clause
of the rate law, namely, the right Of
the Commission to relieve shippers
when in its judgment they are en-
titled to such relief,
While the opinion of the court will
probably not be available for several
days, the victory Of the government
appears to be- substantial one.
Representatives Of the United States
District Attorneys Office and the In

clared that this is the first instance

in which it was alleged that the Com
mission had erred in question OF
discretion and judgment, and the first
time that there had been placed
squarely before court Of this juris-
diction the right of the Commission
to make or correct rates under such
circumstances.
