Old Style JeweIry Is Popular Again.

time strong box. Here's a beauty, this chain bracelet of large amethysts in gold settings. Amethysts will be great favorites among the stones, and bracelets will be as popular as ever. There is a great chance for the jeweler artist in making old-fashioned silver bracelets.
 The jeweler with artistic instincts must have taken good deal of sads- faction in making silver card cases, too-like grandmother-used-to This shows exquisite engraving. These purses made Of silver are old style, also"
 Then the dealer drew out tray of cameos. He seemed to take satis. faction in looking at them and hand. ling them.
 Did I say those other things were Old-fashioned? he asked. Well what do you think of this coral cameo? It is of the style in vogue in England 200 years ago. There are cameos Of all sixes and degrees of beauty--but they're my hobby, and I'll stop.
 Anyway, the belt buckles arc al most as charming. This large gold one with one large stone is perhaps the type. The buckles are mounted with some semi-precious stone, such as topaz I shouldn't forget to men ton the lapis lazuh among the new settings. It is defined as an alumi nous mineral of rich blue color. St Elmo a novel, made 1t popular; and 1t has a color which pleases the lovers of the antique-in-appearance.
 Spanish and Oriental styles are tc appear again, and there will be some Egyptian designs. More coral will be seen this year than before. ."-Kansas City Star.

Pessimism and Optimism.

A pessimist is man who looks for worms in his bell-hower apple. An optimist is man who shuts his eyes. eats worms and all and never kicks at the stomachache. A pessimist Is a wart on the neck of progress that cant be used as collar-button. An optimist is a joy forever and a favor lie with the first row in the balcony. A pessimist clings to the rheumatism as an excuse for grumbling. while an optimist loves a pretty girl for the hugging there is in her You can't lose a pessimist, and as for the oD. timist, none of the girls in my set wants to.

BLUE GRASS BLADE

The Christian superstition has always op-
posed every scientific or progressive move
inert; the Hindu superstition has done The
same.
The Christian superstition has always
been means III the hands of the ruling
class for keeping The workers quiet while
they were robbed; the Hindu superstition
has been the Tame
The Christian teachers preach one thing
and Practice another, the Hindu religious
teachers do the same.
The Christian religious teacher points us
to Jesus Christ and fails to conform his
own life; the Buddhist religious teacher
,ICnts us 10 the life of BuddLa and fails
to conform his own life.
On The whole | would say that there is
about rs much resemblance and about as
much difference nctween Christianity and
the native faiths of India, doctrnally
and practically there is between two
rotten po-atoeS.

many, in fact all the ruling blood-suckers
in europe and in America are prominent
supporters of some form or other of Chris
tianity. When the Christian churches can
show not only that they are not dominated
by such men but that they can get along
Without hem and wash their hands of the
blood money they are now receiving from
them it will be time enough for them to
send missionaries 10 teach us how TO live
in Asia. Till then they had better be occu-
pied in cleaning the dirt off their own door

a missionary is luxurious and idle; the
Orientials cannot see the proprety of this
in one, who supposedly, devotes his life
TO preaching Jesus Christ Second, the
missionary always shows that he is act
uated by the profoundest hatred and intol-
erance toward other religions. Now and
then there are a few exceptions, but the
natives gene alize from the majority FIRE.
quently the missionaries are drinkers of
whatever intoxicating liquors in vogue in
the countries thcy come from.
O. But they must be accomplishing
some results. l have myself seen and
talked with native converts which they
have brought back to this country. What
can you say about these native converts
A. These native converts that the mis-
sionares bring to Europe and America for
exhibition purposes are usually the moral
degenera es of Asia, half starved too, and
poverty stricken, who will do anything for
a piece of bread and butter without work
They got al this from the missionaries
and in return they are willing to tell as
many lies as possible about their own land
and their own religion, though TO say the
truth, many Of the poor degraded beings are
too ignorant to know scarcely anything
about either.
@. What points of difference and re-
semblance Christianity and the native
faiths of India suggest themselves to you?
A. The Christian superstition makes
much of the River Jordan; the Hindu SUI
pcrstitiOn makes much of the River Ganges.
The Christian superstition delivers its
vCtaries into the hands of preachers and
priests; the Hindu superstition does the
same.
The Christian superstition toathes belief

Comment.-lf the above statements be
true this God put lying spirits in these
prophets mouths, so it should persuade
Ahab to go up and fall at Bamoth-gilzad.
1t seems like the Lord was bent on his de-
struction and also it seems to me he did
considerable fussing around to get the
thing done-wonder why he did not strike
him down dead, like he did Saphira and
hubby. and the man that put him up to
keep the Ark from topping over. Various
instances might be mentioned of Jehovah's
cruel acts.
What do you think of a great and truth

ishing them for so doing, or causing others
to be punished on the account thereof
Don't you think that such a God would be

Lord God had made, And he said unto the
woman yea, hath God said, ye shall not
eat of every tree of the garden.
&c 3V.-And the woman said unto the

Sc 3 V--But of the fruit of tho tree
which is in the midst of the garden. God
hath said yo shall not eat of it, neither

TO try to sustain the above? Suppose that
from any event that the Jews should again
possess Jerusalem and the Holy Land, it
would net be a continuing or an everlast-
ing possession. Centuries have passed
since they were in possession of Canaan or
any other country.
Now be honest does it look like this God
knew what he was talking about
NUMBERS.

COMMENTATOR you Sc e this God de-
clared that they should know his breach of
promise. That Is they should know that
he would not do what he promised to do
and also after he swore to do these things
We are taught that this God is the very
essence OF truth and cannot lie, and that
he is advise, etc, and there can be nothing
hidden from him. If this be the case he
certainly got off of his base and acted like
a foolish mainland made rash promises.
No wonder that Moses showed how rash
he was when he threatened to annihiate
the children of Israel for their murmuring
etc. Moses told Jehovah if he did this
thing the people whom the Israelites had
left behind would hear of it--and would
say that you were not able to do what you
started to do-so it appears that Jehovah
tumbled to the lay of the ground, and did
not carry out his rash threat
