A Story on the Theme.

There is a quaint legend (which
tells how, some years after the event,
St. Thomas was again troubled with
agonizing doubts as to our Lords
resurrection. He sought the apostles
and began to pour his souls troubles
into their ears. But first one. then
the other, looked at him in astonish-
ment, and told the unhappy doubter
that he was sorry for him, but really
he had so much to do he had not time
to listen to his tale. Then he was
fain to impart his woes to some de-
vout women. But they, as busy as
Dorcas. and in like employment, soon
made him understand that they had
no leisure for such thoughts as these.
At last it dawned upon him that per-
hans it was because they were SO
busy that they were free from the
doubts by which he was tortured. He
took the hint; he went to Parthia,
occupied himself in preaching Christ's
gospel, and was lever troubled with
doubts any more.-Peloubet.

Couture Accessories.

. There are new fiat top pins. And
pins with square heads. Round and
oval headed pins, too. Sometimes
they are of plain tortoise shell, highly
polished. Then, again, they may be
set with %rhinestones and ornamented
with delicate gold tracery. Round
buckles, too, there are, to hold the
fashionable braid in place. All sorts
of new barrettes to keep stray locks
from straying. And there are new
turban-like arrangements to take the
place of the now-banished rat"
Braids, swirls, switches and puffs-
you may have as many as you like
or your purse affords, "ready-made."

Soft Brocades in Style.

The soft satin ~brocades, that one
or two Paris houses recommended for
dinner and ball gowns, have become
more fashionable. To a certain az
tent they will replace the long series
Of Liberty satins, and charmeuse
satin, we have worn uninterruptedly
for ten months. The lowered bro
cades, however, do not lend them
selves to so many draped effects as
the plain soft satin. Their style de-
mands a more classical scheme, at all
events where the skirts are concerned.
We shall not return to Louis XIV.

draped overdress and train.

A Star That WinkS.

There is in the constellation Pc
gasus a little variable star that may
reasonably be said to wink. Two or
three times in the course Of a single
night this curious star can be seen
to fade and then to brighten like 9
signal light. For about two and
three-quarters hours it becomes faint
er and fainter; then comes a change,
and at the end of two and three-quar-
ter hours more it as bright as at the
beginning. Unfortunately, it can be
seen only with a telescope. Yet it
ranks as a sun.-Harper's Weekly.

it was Ferguesson-yes, even
though he had a harassed look quite
unnatural to that happy-go-lucky per-
son, and carried in his hand a huge
bandboX. 1t was the latter that
caused ME to doubt if it could indeed
be true, for Randy absolutely de-
clined to carry anything, unless it
might be golf clubs or the most cor
rect of s~uit-cases. Experience had
made me wary. l did not hasten to

would allow me to depart with Nan
cy, untrammelled by her companion
ship.
SO I drew near the unconscious
Ferguesson with care, and when l
was within a stones throw paused for
another look. Randy seemed to have
shrunken surprisingly; his coat
bumped up in the middle of his back
and he had e most unfamiliar narrow
look across the shoulders. Also he
clutched the bandbox with almost
feverish care, guarding it a%nXiously
from any danger of crushing, and
never for an instant allowing if to
rest upon the floor. Altogether. he
had the appearance of the head of a
family who is subject to his better
half and sorely afflicted by continual
nagging.
Approaching quietly, still from the
rear, I touched him on the shoulder.
All right" he said. without even

Whalebone Becomes Scarcer.

Whalebone cost only thirty-five
cents a pound half a century ago.
To-day it costs about five dollars a
pound. The total product landed
from the American fisheries during
the nineteenth century exceeded go
100000 pounds. A single whale may
yield up 5000 pounds.

CaraCul For Coat.

Brown caracul or brown pony are
among the accepted coats when fur is
used. The style in which they are
made shows amply loose single
breasted fronts, and a box back with
a generous swing from below the
shoulders. Large pearl or cut steel
buttons are used to fasten.

longs to the church by virtue OF this
life. 1t is the misfortune, nay, the
calamity, of the church that it has
not kept this fact clearly in mind.
Again and again it has substituted
for it some theory of organization
or doctrinal statement which imme-
diately destroyed the church's unity
and created rivalries and separatlsts.
This is the only possible basis OF a re-
united C~hristendom; not the Cathollc

A Pert Reply,

A story told of Sir John Fisher and
Lord Charles Beresford when both
were stationed in the Mediterranean
will bear repeating. A competition
had been held at Malta for a prize
annually presented by Sir John. 1t is
known as the Malta cup, and. having
so far always been won by a crew
belonging to the admiraps flagship, 1t
was fully expected by Sir John that
this record would be maintained. On
this particular occasion, however. a
crew of the Families. commanded by
Lord Charles Beresford, carried 1t off
instead. A day or two later the feet
was practicing maneuvers, and Ad-
miral Fisher, whose reputation as a
stern disciplinarian is well known.
was dissatisfied with the performance
of the Families. He signaled accord
ingly to it's commander the message,
Explain your reason for being late
in executing maneuver." Without a

A Cruel Joke.

Oswald, a witty and original Pari-
sian. had mania for practical jok-
ing He was very amusing to his
friends. but when his talents were ex-
erted to avenge some wrong there
was more bitterness than fun in his
wit. One evening when a man who
had not treated him politely gave re-
ception he revenged himself cruelty.
The man was slightly deformed. All
the hunchbacks Of Paris, 500 in num-
Der, presented themselves at his re-
ception. They had received notices
from Oswald that If they should go to
this address on this evening they
would learn of legacy which had
been left them.

No Chautauqua program would be
considered complete without good
male quartette of youno men bearing
the name The Music Makers. That
they have chosen the right name all
will agree when they have heard
them.
These young men have conceived
the idea of further popularizing their
work by the introduction of certain
novelties that are popular and
catchy. In addition to being among
the most talented of vOcalists. they
have invented an entertainment idea
that goes with a whirl wherever they
appear.
Their program is something new
and 1t moves. There are no tire

platform a treat opens and they are
full bill to the last encore. There
Is nothing else doing while they are
In action. Their classics are enjoyed
even by the devotees of popular airs
and their rollicking illusions are rem
dered with such musicianship that
classic students are highly pleased.
The soothing effects produced by
their rendition of Loves Old Sweet

to continue with these fayorites; and
the reverence and grace with which
they are rendered are particularly
satisfying.

PAPER CAR WHEELS.
Safer and Stronger but More Costly
Than Other Wheels.

IMAM 0tncF WuCctS.
We naturally think of paper as
something lacking In strength and Of
a paper article as being fragile, so are
somewhat alarmed when an encyclo-
pedic friend remarks that the wheels
of the car on which we are slipping
along at the rate of a mile minute
are made of paper This opportunity
to be alarmed occurs. however. on
only the best of railways. as paper
car wheels, though safer and longer
lived than any others. are also more
expensive. The principal advantage
of wheels made from this unpromising
material Is found In the fact that they
are not injured by the violent vibra.
tons to which car wheels are sub
jected
The paper used In the manufacture
Of these wheels is known as calen.
dered rye straw board. or thick paper.
1t is sent to the car wheel shops In
circular sheets measuring twenty-five
to forty inches In diameter. and over
each Of these sheets is spread an even
coating of -four paste. A dozen sheets
are placed one on the other and the
lot subjected to hydraulic pressure of
500 tons or more. After two hours
pressure these sheets, which have now
become a solid block, are kept for a
week In drying room at tempera.
ture of 100 degrees. after which a
number of blocks are pasted together.
pressed and dried for a second week.
third combination Of layers is then
made, after which there is an entire
month of drying. The final block con.
tains 100 to 100 sheets of the original
paper and is four and one-half to five
inches In thickness. All resemblance
to paper has been lost, the block in
weight, density and solidity approx
mating the finest grained, heaviest
metal.
10 complete the wheel there are re-
quired a steel tire. cast iron hub,
wrought iron plates to protect the pa
per on either side and two circles Of
bolts, one set passing through the
hange of the tire. the other through
the flange of the hub and both sets
through the paper. The paper blocks
are turned on lathe. which also
reams out the center hole for the hub.
Two coats of paint are applied to keep
out moisture. The various parts are
next assembled, and the paper car
wheel is complete.
AS may be readily understood, paper
which has received the treatment de-
scribed may be used for almost any
purpose for which metal or wood Is
used If not too much exposed to damp
ness. and to all practical purposes it
is fireproof.-Harper's.
