Will Rnadwork Return.

The English are now using the
small handloom to copy the Indian
beadwork which had an unusual run
in America some years ago. They
have found that several rows of the
narrow beaded neck chain may be
sewn together to form the wider belt.
The same little wooden loom has been
used in Scandinavia not only lately
but for centuries for wool weaving.
A narrow gallon is woven by the peas
ants for dress trimming, and a shuttle
carries the wool back and forth across
the warp threads just as our long
needles carried the beads. The pres
ent popularity of the beaded reticule
would suggest a possible return of
this Indian work.

Oatmeal Cloth.

Just when the excess of elegance
has been reached in materials for
women's clothes we are turned hastily
about and asked to face the coarsest
of plain surfaces with commonplace,
homely names. 1t is, however, relief
to be introduced to these more domes.
tic fabrics.
: We are positively glad to be tols
that children's coats for seaside and
mountain wear may be made of plain
red flannel, and that fashionable
clothes for grown-up women may be
built of such notwithstanding stuffs
as oatmeal cloth and workhouse sheet
ing.
These materials have followed close
on the heels of hopsacking, which
makes its appearance at regular inter-
walls and usually with some success.

SERMONE TTE.

The good men do lives after,
them.
This trite saying is ever true.
The recorder of the deeds Of the
Maccabees has this to say of
the record which Judas, who be-
came the leader after the death
of his father, left behind him:
"He gat his people great
honor, and put on breast-pIate
as a giant, and grit his Warlike
harness about him, and he made
battles, protecting the host
with his sword.
an his acts he was like a
lion, like lions wheIp, roaring
for his prey. ....-
} "For he pursued the wicked,
and sought them out, and burnt
up those that vexed his people.
"Wherefore the wicked shrunk
from fear of him, and all the
workers of iniquity were trou-
bIed, because salvation pros
pered In his hand.
"He grieved also many kings,
and made Jacob glad with his
acts, and his memorial is blessed
forever.
Moreover, he went through
the cities of Juda, destroying the
ungodIy out of them, and turn
ing away wrath from Israel.
$50 that he was renowned
unto the utmost part of the
earth, and he received unto him
such as were ready to perish"
We find the faith and strength
Of character of the man re-
vealed in his words at the mo-
ment when his small and ILL
equipped army was about to
flee before the Overwhelming
hosts of the enemy. He said:
at is no hard matter for the
many to be shut up In the hands
Of the few; and with the God
of heaven it is all one, to de-
liver with a great multitude or
a small company; for the vic
tory OF battle standeth in the
multitude of the host: but
strength cometh from Heaven.
They come against us in much
pride and inlquity to destroy US,
and our wives and our children,
and to spoil US. But we fight
for our lives and our laws.
Wherefore the Lord himself
will overthrow them before our
face. And as for you, be we not
afraid of them"

Good Soap Not Harmful.

The notion that soap makes the
complexion oily if there is tendency
in that direction is absurd if the right
kind is found. Such skin, Of course,
will take more alkali than one which
is dry, and in any event the natural
excessive oils, loaded as they soon are
with impurities from the air, must be
washed off carefully. After that If
there are enlarged pores or an incli-
nation to appear greasy, tonicking
sprays may be used. For them one
should have an atomizer that may be
bought at any toilet department or
druggists.

Eulness OF Life

The way to fulDess of life is through
death. We may save ourselves from
sacrifice, if we will; we may refuse
to make the self-denials which love
demands of US; we may indulge our,
selves, and decline to do the things
for others which we are called to do
and which would require toll and
pain. It will seem that we are saw.
ing our life, but really we are losing
it. We must die to live; we muSl
lose TO gain.

Tolstoy's caftan, or Russian smock,
the garment of the Russian peasant,
has been borrowed as a smart coat
model this season. The caftan falls
quite straight from the shoulder to
hem and is not fitted to the figure at
all. The cord about the waist, with
which the peasants grid in the caftan,
is replaced on the handsome coats
by belt or girdle of embroidered
trimming. This Russian coat of claret
velvet is richly embroidered with fine
black silk braid, the embroidery form
ing band trimming at the edge and
large motifs over the shoulder and at
the bottom.

The FiImy Frock.

The more filmy the material in the
frock the heavier and more bold in
design is the embroidery which must
ornament it. The flowers that appear
on some of the gauzy, frail evening
gowns have to be worked separately
and then applied to the background.
They show up in deep relief.

Leaders Of Maccabaean war.-Three Of
the Ave sons OF Mattathias were promir-
emit as leaders in the Maccabaean war, as
follows; Judas, from whom the name of
Maecabees was derived, Jonathan, and
Simon. The two others, Eleazar and John
or Joannan aS 1t In In the text. Judas
succeeded to the command upon the death
of his father Mattathias, and when in 1853
3. C., Lysias laid siege to Jerusalem, the
position of Judas was precariOus. Later
Nlcanor was sent against Judas but was
defeated, first at Capharsalama, and
again in a decisive battle at Adasa, near
to the glorious battle field of Both-horon
IL. G. 16D. This victory was the great
est OF Judas successes and practically
decided the question of Jewish independ-
ence. Later Judas was killed in battle
with force of invaders under Bacchides.
His body was recovered by his brothers
and buried at Modn in the sepulcher of
his fathers. Two years after, when ne
cessity for renewing the conflict arose,
the command was offered to Jonathan.
He forced Bacchides to terms and when
Alexander Balas assembled to the Per-
sian throne he was promoted to great au-
thority and assumed the high-priestly Of
fee. After AIexanders death he fell a
victim to the treachery of Tryphon, and
Simon placed himself at the head of the
patriot army and he brought the long
struggle of the Jews finally to an end in
about B. c. 143. Eight years later he
and two of his sons were murdered by
Ptolemaeus, but one of the sons es-
capped, Johannes Hyrcanus, and at once
assumed the government of the Jews.
Dying in B. c.. 1885, his eldest son Aristo-
bulus l., succeeded to the rulership and
was the first to assume the kingly title.

ASSAULTED ON STREET

Third Attack Upon Women Within
Few Weeks Made by Unknown As
saiIant Monday Nght-Miss Esther
SeerIey, Supervisor of Physical Gull
ture in Public Schools, and Her
Guest, Mrs. Howell, of Tiffin, the

A third assault in a few weeks. made
by an unknown assailant upon women,
occurred Monday night at $50 on
South Fourth avenue, between Main
and Church, when Miss Esther Seer
ley and her friend, Mrs. Burton Howell,
the latter of Tiffin, were the victims.
Neither of the ladies was injured,
altho Mrs. Howell was quite badly
frightened. The ladies were on theii.
way to Miss tSeerley's room, 4O6 East
Church street, when they met tfle
strange man. Without word the fell
low grabbed Miss Seerleys hands, and
upon her jerking away made two other
grabs, evidently expecting to secure a
purse. Miss Seerley spoke to the man,
saying, THAT will be enough now; i
should like to get a good look at you"
The fellow did not reply. but skunk
away across the street.
There was sufficient light from an
arc lamp that Miss Seerley managed to
get a pretty good view of the fellow
and is sure she could identify him if
she saw him again. The man was well
dressed, wore a light soft hat, and dark
long coat. He was tall. broad shout
dered, and wore smooth face.
Miss Seerley Is supervisor of physi-
cal culture in the public schools of this
city, and is the daughter of President
Homer H. Seerley, of Iowa State
