All coiors are used in tailored coats
Of linen.
Gilt or siivered ribbon maintains
its popularity.
Black taffeta skirts are trimmed
with folds of satin or taffeta.
Many women are covering their
own buttons these days and embroid-
ing them.
The sailor hat is made of folds of
white maline and edged with a wide
band Of black.
Those who like to do the old-fash-
toned cross-stitch embroidery will be
pleased to find it in vogue again.
1t seems that the costume is scarce
ly considered complete unless there is
somewhere about it bit of linen.
They say that to be strictly fash
ionable in ones figure the shoulders
must be broad and the waist small.
Do not have starch put into heav-
Ter linen frocks when they are iaun-
dered; let them hang limp as other
gowns do.
Conspicuous dress is admissible
only when the conspicuous costume
is perfect in detail and need not be
often worn.
While all-white cottons and linens
will never lose their prestige, there is
a stronger leaning than for some sea-
sons past toward colored effects.
The little pleated bow at the throat
gives the necessary joining between
the collar of the waist and the frill
and make the two appear to belong
to each other.
White or black ostrich plumes,
though the first cost is not small, are
about as good an investment as it is
possible to make in millinery, for
they may be curled and cleaned
countless times, and with reasonable
care they may last many seasons.

DISCOVERIES of Opportunity

1t is a popularity of human nature
that we do not readily respond to OPP
Dortunities for doing good unless we
discover them in ourselves. There IS
something in the self-discovery of OPP
portunity that carries with it both in
spiration and the sense of RESPONSE
bility. Tell one that the chance con-
fronts him of doing this or that, show
him the human need, and show him
also the way to supply it, and he will
thank you-but how seldom he will
follow your well-mea cant but more or
less officious advice!
On the other hand, let one discover
for himself the thing that ought to be
done, and most likely he will go and
do it. The very discovery of human
need is an incentive to human help
fulness. One is ripe for the Joy and
inspiration of service that begins with
his own initiative.
Is not this one of Gods wise pro"
visions for keeping us alive to the
constant presence of opportunities!
He gives us great joy in the personal
discovery of them, and the personal
response to them, whereas an oppor-
tunity discovered and pointed out by
another is a kind of lifeless and re-
mote thing, that we respond to, If we
respond at all, perfunctorily and with
out enthusiasm. At such times we
feel as if we had been cheated out
of the best part of the joy of doing
good-the doing it upon our own in
itiative, with the glad heart that is
alert to opportunity call. Wisely
has it been said that "the value of an
opportunity largely consists in having
seen it for ones self. The Watch

OPEN DEALING IN PAINT.

Buying paint used to be like the
proverbial buying of pig in a
poke" Mixtures in which chalk
ground rock, ETC., predominated were
marked and sold as pure White
Lead" the deception not being ap-
parent until the paint and the paint
ing were paid for. This deception j.
still practiced, but we have learned
to expose it easily.
National Lead Company, the larg
est makers of genuine Pure White
Lead, realizing the injustice that was
being done to both property owners
and honest paint manufacturers set
about to make paint buying safe
They first adopted a trade mark, the
now famous "Dutch-Boy Painter
and put this trade mark, as a guar
anty of purity, on every package OF
their White Lead. They then set
about familiarizing the public with
the glow-pipe test by which the puri-
ty and genuineness of White Lead
may be determined, and furnished o
blow-pipe free to every one who
would write them for it. This &C.
ton was in itself a guaranty of the
purity of National Lead Company's
White Lead.
AS the result of this open dealing
the paint buyer to-day has only him
self to blame if he Is defrauded. For

THIS AND THAT.

Too much money is the root of
a lot of evil.
1t is easier for a poor man to be
good than contented.
It's enough to discourage temper
ance reformers when money is tight.
The average man has more than
one unlocked kick coming to him.
There are 100000 bricks in the
famous Severn Tunnel.
Liverpool makes nearly 100000
a year by municipal trading.
There are more women members
of clubs in New York City than in
any two other cities in the world
A good way to get men to drink
plenty of water and pay lots of
money for it would be to put an
internal revenue tax on it.

or heard from for 40 years.
There is great deal of talk in

Why 1t Pays to Conquer Sin.

1t is better to conquer temptation
than to be freed from it. Therefore
God does not, at once, take us out or
the world and beyond the reach of
temptation; He does better than that
when He keeps us here and offers
us His omnipotenca for the defeat of
our enemy A victorious, sin-beset
man has more to be grateful for than
an undisturbed angel. For every VIC
tory over sin brings two notable re-
suits. 1t increases our own power
against temptation, and it lessons the
effectiveness of that temptation in its
next onset. So God actually helps US
to get freed from temptation every
time we use His strength to defeat
temptation. 1t may not always ap-
pear so. for temptation dies hard; but
it is so, and we can prove it if we
will fight on in undiscouraged as
surance that it is one-sided conflict,
after all, and God and we are on that

TRAINING FOR CHILDREN.

At its recent convention in Clcvc-
land the National Education Associa-
ton devoted more time to vocational
training than to anything else, and
more definite idea saemedto be gained
of what was wanted then ever before.
The consensus of opinion seemed to
favor general education, including
manual training up to fourteen for
all children; after that shop training
for all those intending to go into the
trades, regular shops, provided with
all modern machinery and appliances
being attached to each school. An
adjustment with each trade repre-
scented in the shop was advised, so
that the graduates from the course
would be accepted as advanced ap-
prentices or journeymen. The eight
hour day should prevail in these
school shops, with 10 vacations but
legal holidays and the month of Au-
gust. 1t was declared that Eve are
increasing the number not only of
unemployed, but of the unemploy-
able;" that there should be scholar
ships for other than literary quail
ties" and that in time the State
would find this industrial training Sc
profitable that it would be willing tc

One Sure Thing.

One thing is sure, my friends: IL
God is going to forgive us our sins,
we have got to repent Of our sins and
turn from them. Let the wicked
forsake his ways" Not only must we
forsake our sins, but we must bring
forth fruits meet for repentance. L
don't know who the young man was
who went to his employer the other
morning and said: There's the
money l took from you some years
ago." but that was bringing forth
fruits meet for repentance. We have
not only got to forsake our sins, but
if we have injured any one, if we have
slandered him and caused him to
suffer, we must make restitution as
far as we can. And when we bring
forth such fruits, men will have conf
dence in our Christianity. l have
heard of a man who had four of his
neighbours sheep stray in among his
own, and he took the marks off them
and kept them. When he was con-
verified, these four sheep troubled him.
Don't think that you are going to
have peace with God if you've got
four sheep that belong to somebody
else, or have put somebody else's
money into your pocket.-Moody.

Another Marvellous Discovery.

Charles Cooling, of Wilmington,
has a COW that established a new re-
cord the other day. She succeeded
in getting near a 2-gallon can OF
strawberries that Mr.. Codding had
just gathered, after a couple of hours
of back breaking labor. Of course
he was sore and angry with the COW
when he discovered that the meek
eyed bovine had enjoyed a repast
Of the l;:~r:@''T berries that had pre-
vented A-~.-.- - him of shortcake
and big bowl of berries and cream.
He still had Crouch" on the next
day, but a smile came over his face
when he tasted the milk and cream
and found it to be of strawberry
flavor that beat any strawberry flaw
oring that he was ever able to get
at soda fountains or ice cream par

Sand Fish,

At low tide, in midsummer, on
certain parts of the Breton coast,
men and boys with baskets and hoes
descend the white beach to the seas
edge. They are anglers, but the fish
they seek live on dry land.
With his hoe each fisherman makes
swiftly in the packed sand shallow
parallel trenches very close together
and about yard long. If the luck
be good, every scratch of the hoe
uncovers three or four silvery fish,
the size of sardnies, that leap up
glittering into the air. They must be
seized quickly, or at once they bury
themselves in the sand again.
They are called lancons. The
smaller ones are used for mackerel
bait; the larger make, fried, an ex-
cellent dish, good deal like fried
smelts.
With daylight tides the lancons
are seldom bigger than a mans mid
die finger; but with the night tides,
when promenaders have not disturb
ed the sand, they run large indeed.
Then, their lanterns flashing on the
beach, the Breton fishermen often
capture lancons a foot long.-Phila-
delphia Bulletin.

TITLE OF PRINCE FOR
DESCENDANTS OF SLAVE
Emperor Francis Joseph to Raise
Counts Potocky by an Ediet--
Ancestor Sold by Turk.

The descendants of a Greek-Iurk-
ish slave girl, the Counts Potocky,
will be raised to the princely dignity
by Emperor Francis Joseph. The
first to bear the princely title will be
Count Roman Potocky, and to TINS
Emperor Francis Joseph will add the
qualification of the royal prerogatlTe,
so called, which means that Prince
Potocxy and his successors will be
ELIGIBLE to marrying into royal
houses.
Count Roman is a direct descen-
dant of q Greek-Turhish slave gil,
whose extraordinary beauty, admired
by Gar Alexander l. and by the 1lrst
Napoleon, is preserved by an I'M
signed portrait hanging in the royal
gallery at Berlin.
The original Of the portrait was
discovered about the time OF the
French Revolution by the then Rus
sian ambassador in Constantlnople.
In one of the baZaars he saw hand
some slave girl of the Greek type.
She was about fifteen years old ana
had lust come to the Turkish capt.
tai, having been captured at Corfu
by Moslem pirates. The ambassador
bought her and sent her to st. Pc
tersburg as a present to the Empress,
the great Catherine. Catherine had
the girl educated and later on gave
her to Count Potocky, who was III
the Austrian diplomatic service ana
of cO1rt
Count Potocky sent the former
slave girl TO Paris to finish her edl-
cation, aud later married her.
From this slave girl whose his
tory reads like a romance, the new
Princes Potocky are descended.

COSTLY HONEY

In the African forests the natives
find quantities of honey in followed
trees. The honey is generally at the
summit of the tree, and the men
knock down the tree, and smoke the
bees out of their lodging with burning
grass. The honey is then quickly
collected and taken to camp. MI. A.
Henry Savage Lander, in ACROSS
Widest Africa" gives a story which
proves that the honey is not always
a blessing to those who secure it. His
caravan had halted in the shade of
some fine trees, and the men had Sc
cured quantity Of honey.
We were all gaily enjoying it,
with plateful before me, and all my
men squatting round me, biting off
huge chunks from the honeycombs.
Suddenly an alarm was raised. The
men jumped to their feet and threw
the combs away. A significant buzz
was fast approaching, and behold! an
army Of bees had descended quickly
upon us and surrounded my camp,
singing the naked men all over.
They held their hands upon their
faces and stampeded in all directions,
each one with large contingent OF
bees after him.
My poor Somali. who, being
strict Mussulman, never would touch
anything that had been fingered by
unbelievers, was the only one in
camp who had not partaken of the
honey. AS, however, he had a per-
feet :.orror of bees, he was the first
one to dash away when he first heard
them. The result was that he who
had not touched the honey at all had
the greatest number of bees after
him. At one time the whole army
seemed to have concentrated round
him. Piercing were his yells and
high the leaps he made in the air.
Curiously enough, /, who had still
the plate of honey upon my knees
and remained motionless like a
statue, did not receive a single sting,
although myriads of bees kept buzz
ing round me in most Alarming
manner.

Teaching Nuggets,

They who fear the Lord do not need
to fear.
A crooked life cahnot lead on the
straight way.
A good life is no small contribution
to any mans logic.
To be true to the best is the best
we can do for truth.
The welfare of any people is de-
termined by their worship.
All His love in the past calls for
our loyalty in the present.
Present conservation is the best
corrective of past crookedness.
Much moral astigmatism is due to
pressure on the money nerve.
Many an i'll of the heart would be
cured II the hands were kept clean.
There is nothing that will help you
to lead others more than being able
to look back over right life your

FRIENDLY TIP

After several years of indigestion
and it's attendant evil influence on the

plenty of food but it did not nourish

CLASSIC DRAPERY.

One Of the fashionable weddings in
London for which Paris dressmakers
were kept busy was entirely Greek,
the bride in a draped gown of white
satin embroidered in Greek key de-
sign in seed pearls and with long
points of the peplum hanging from
the shoulders and weighted with
pearl tassels. Her maids of honor
wore white crepe gowns embroidered
in silver that we're very similar, save
that they did not wear the shawl of
fine white silk null that draped the
head in antique fashion, in place of
the traditional veil. The pages, in
evitable at an English wedding, wore
Greek tunics in fine white cloth en-
broidered in pale blue Greek key de-
sign, and they wore myrtle chaplets
on their feet. I thought the brides
limp veil, swathing her head and
shoulders and one arm, instead of the
usual crisp, floating cascade Of stiff
tulle, a most beautiful idea and worth
repeating.

LYDIA E. PINkHAM

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia e. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
'cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means SO much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
''For twelve years l had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what l suffered, and at times
could hardly, walk. About two years
ago l wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
I followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. It is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
1t will do for other suffering women.

PARABLE FOR SUFFRAGETTE:

Mrs. Humphrey Ward is against
votes for women. She has joined N
London an anti-suffrage league. In
circular letter she says:
The league promoters consider
that each sex is a sphere as important
as the other, and they earnestly dep
recate the tendency which has been
in recent times exhibited in some
quarters to underestimate the i'm
portance of the sphere which special
ly calls for the care and devotion Of
a woman-the home.
Nor could women undertake the
physical responsibilities of enforcing
any law which, by their votes, they
might cause TO be enacted. And II
any law came to be popularity re-
garded as woman-made, not only
might that law be treated with dis
regard and contempt, but it might
drag down respect for law in gen
eral."
