IDEAS OF APLAIN MAN
TRANSLATED HYMNS.

The translation of hymns into bar barrie languages has often given rise to the singing of very humorous and incongruous sentiments. For instance the hymncommeneing "Go, labor on spend and be spent" was translated into the language of the Congo. k was only after the hymn had been sung far and wide that the missionary translator discovered that he had used the wrong word for labor" and that the congregation had, been made to sing, Go, blunder on, spend and be spent
 :, It would appear as though Congoese had many pitfalls for the would be translator, for, being the language of a primitive people, whose spiritual ideas are, to say the least very immature it seems that the words "life'' and stomach 2 are synonymous terms, the native linguists evidently considering that the former is wholly dependent upon the latter for its continuance.
 Thus, when the missionary trans lated the well-known hymn wonder ful words of stomach"
 Nor did this end the trouble of the missionaries. For some z reason oI other they found that the natives seemed averse to singing the. clos. ing hymn of the service, il"Lord, Dis miss US With Thy Blessing" Possi- ply they laid the hattering unction te their souls that their congregation. wished to continue the service lindef initely. After some months, however they were undeceived. More exac knowldge of the native idiom confirm, ed them in the belief that they haf Inadvertently translated Lord Dis, miss Us With Thy Blessing int Lord. kick us out softly softly"

MAKING WAR IMPOSSIBLE.

The recent action of the Interpar- liamentary union at Geneva in declar- ing against the use of the aeroplane in war. Is taken without q statement thus far as to the reason for the course. Further reports from there will be awaited to determine just the scope of the decision, both as to ma chimes and as to what use sof the fly ing machine Is objected to in war. Presumably 1t is, the bomb throwing from aeroplanes which Acauses the ob- Jection, but 1t is not made clear.
 Itiis evident that when it does come to the time that aeroplanes arc brought into general use in case of war that great havoc will be wrought. Keeping the air free from the horrors of war will doubtless revive the claim that flying machines, by making war more destructive, will act as an in- centive of peace but that, as the New York Evening Post says, is a re- statement of the old familiar fallacy. Smokeless powder was going to make war impossible, Thirteen-inch guns were going to make it impossible. The submarine was going to abolish war. And the only result of every new invention has been to intensity na- tional animosities and increase the burden of ornaments. The only way to make war impossible is to keep fAe peace"
 War will not be made impossible by making it worse, though each modern invention tends to make it so Though not making war impossible these fea lures are adding all the time to the maintenance of peace and the realiza- ton, of the futility of war. %S

DICTATES oFtFAsHIoN.

The vogue for finely plaited frills continues. Scarcely a gown appears without this pretty form of trimming.
 White satin is a fayorite material for the one piece frock. These are some times relieved with bands of material showing coinspots of color.
 A manly looking little bows coat is of forester green cloth. The double breasted front is fastened with large pearl buttons.
 2 The much discussed highwayman cape is simply collar of large pro- portions. It gives an unusually smart finish to the fall coat.
 Brocades have come to remain. A gown of this lovely. material, modelled on the, elinging lines so much in use at present. is extremely attractive. {; !, An attractive afternoon toilet by Beer was of striped blue and white silk. The skirt had a pointed tunic of plain Blue. With this was worn a smart little jacket with collar pf skunk fur and broad lapel of heavy ecru lace, Supple black moire was used for a stylish coatee. Rows of to- mato red buttons trimmed the long, close fitting sleeves and the slashed skirt of the coat A collar of miniver completed this creation.

 Don't forget to fill up the slack jars with hot syrup as soon as they are taken from the bath then close then. at once. turning each one upside down when the top is tight. .f
 Don't forget when canning vegetables that the same filling up of slack jars is made with boiling water, but that the jar must be at once sealed and boiled again for five or ten minutes.
 Don't forget when the jars are cold to examine each one and to see if it is air tight; then, if all is we'll wipe the Jars off with clean wet cloth and set them at once in a cold, dry place.
 Don't forget that the good grocery stores pay fancy price for first class homemade products of any sort. The labels must be written out by hand, on neatly cut slips of letter paper. This gives the home look. and if the real home taste is inside the jar the gr1- cer will take the batch, however small or big it is.
 Don't forget the fruit of the vine when you are wondering what to put up-especially the wild grapes, whicf will come in with the last of Septem- Der.

PROFESSIONS OF COLLEGE GRAD uATES.

There 1has been a marked change III the purpose of the American colleges from what they were intended when the first ones were started. It was many Wears ago that Harvard was founded chiefly to educate elergymen, and Yale was started for similar purpose There has been large de- cline in the numbeF entering the min istry in proportion to the attendance at these and other universities. Fhe benefit of higher education was sup posed to be needed only by those en- ,tering the ministry, in the early days but the importance of it there has been appreciated, and it was recognized that in business and other professions that it would be of corresponding value and the result shows it. The great expansion of the universities makes the number preparing for the minis try rather small, there being but two per cent. of HarYard's graduates and three of Yale's.
 Following an investigation by the United States bureau of education, in 37a representative colleges, teaching is shown to be the leading profession, claiming 25 per cent of the graduates, business being second with, 20 per cent, law third with 15 per cent. Medicine is declining. with but six to seven, while the ministry shows five to six. and engineering. which is gain ing, shows sbut three to four. Start ing with the purpose of benefiting the ministry. the two centuries and a half have shown the benefit to be gained for other professions in a college edu- cation,

COLLARS AND FIcHUs.

Collars and fchus go on increa9ng in size, though it is not always to the advantage of face that a large ex : panse of+white or cream color should almost cover the bodice of the gown. What the French call ''rabat' is free from this disadvantage, because the deep folds of the lace are plaited into a colored silk collar with pointed ends, in one case nattier blue trimmed round with black taffeta. The little buckle which holds the two bound to- gether is in vanished kid.
 Another shape of the rabat has a deep black satin collar cut up in revers at each side, rather deep at the back and edged round with lit tie looped trimming. Then there is the rabat with a deep embroidered lawn collar under which passes a bias band of black satin ending in a tiny bow. There is, in fact, every variety. some overemphasized.
 Very fine net, closely plaited, forms the frills of oneN of these, and revers of embroidered linen fall over it. Val- enciennes is largely used and the new trimming of flowers and leaves cut out of tucked muslin is another variety.

EMANCIPATION ANNIVERSARY.

Sunday marked the fiftieth anni- versary of the issuance of the first emancipation proclamation by Abra, ham Lincoln, one of the great dodu- ments connected with the progress of this country and it's history. When Lincoln declared therein, that upon January first following, the slaves in all seeding states should be free un- less those states laid down their arms, his decision to do so was not reached without long reflection. The war had started for the preservation of the union and slavery was made one of the prominent issues. The south made fight for it, and maintained a strong opposition to the order, even after the second proclamation. Though this or dered the freedom of the colored peo- pie in the south, it was not until the union forces had won the great civil war did they actually obtain it.
 Recognition of the day when the first proclamation was issued is due, for while it commentaries no actual Accomplishment, it does mark day Ton which one of the greatest acts of humanity was launched Lincoln, by that act alone, which reflected his ex- ceilent judgment in many things, has gone down in history as one of the
 country's greatest men. It was one of the great questions of the day, and his
 admirable handling of it shows the deliberation and determination by
 which he was actuated The half-cen- tufy anniversary of 1t has passed and the righteousness of it rings louder

rAErs RupeEr srANp.

With the same motive which has characterized his interest in the effi- cient and economical administration of the government, President Taft takes determined stand in behalf of ! budget, and he is to be praised. for his insistence. Why such an adnhra- ble plan which is found to be of such value for municipal needs should not be applied to the national government is not understandable. It was the in tention of the democratic house, how ever, to block such a plan, but the president is right in maintaining that he can submit a budget and congress, can neither forbid nor prevent it.
 : There is no reason why the expendi- lures of the government should be all lowed to go along in slipshod sort of a manner, and the expenditure of the vast amount of money be made without consideration as to how the various departments are planning To go along without a statement of re- sources and liabilities, and disregard ing other important considerations, as well as the previous years appropri- iaton is not running the government in businesslike manner. It has been the object of the president through out his term to have some regard for the manner in which the affairs of the nation were conducted. He still main tains his belief that 1t shsuld be run as business, and not any old way, just because 1t Is the government. The budget will give the public better Insight into the manipulation of the governpiept expenses and is a most conimendable plan.

PRESERVING DAY DoNTs.

Don't think that because you haven't got regulation boiler for your fruit jars your nice things will spoil in the making. Any wash boiler can be used. but the water must never come up to the top of the jars. and they must stand on something while the boiling is going on or they will break. Spread the bottom of the wash boiler with hay or straw, or cover 1t with four or five layers of newspaper: then put over thY covering some weight or other to keen 1t down, The jars should be at least two Inches under water, and if bottles are boiled the water should reach one inch below the cork.

APPLES lN coNNEcrlciIr.


 Down in West Virginia, a recent hail storm is reported to have done damage, 10 the extent of $100,O00 to the apple crop, as well as other damages. This Is loss which the Nutmeg state is not apt to meet with, for while a hail storm Is not unusual, it would be a terrific storm which would do the apple crop of this state as much. dam age as in West Virginia. Why Con necticut should not be producing as many fine quality apples as Virginia Is not apparent, except that the inter- est does not run in that direction. It Is true there are many fine orchards in the state, but the general orchard lacks attention, and little time is given to caring for the trees and endeavor- ing to make Connecticut produce as much fruit as it will.
 Apples which are the equal of any grown in the country can be produced in Connecticut, and the idea of the department of agriculture at Wash ington in sending ans expert through the state for the purpose of learning the conditions and giving advice to help the growers and create an inter- est in the line of farm work is an excellent one How to take care of the trees Is what the average farmer desires to know. and with that information carefully fol- lowed, Connecticut ought to be able tt show remarkable increase in applc production.

HANDkERcHlEFs.

Last, year the initials on ihandker- chiefs were long and narrow. This year the initials should be shorter and very broad. The influence of the ori- ent on fashions is thus to be felt even in handkerehiefs. Indeed, one maker of handkerchiefs designed an initial cleverly decrated so as to suggest Chi nese characters. The effect Is quaint and unusual If one persists in using the long narrow initial, however, it may be done in the last note of fash ion by surrounding the letter with fiowery designs that fill out the em- broidery to square.
 All sorts of dainty color combina- lions are in good form in handker- chiefs this season. Colored initials are to be seen on white grounds and white initials on colored grounds, borders and initials of corresponding colors colored borders and woEen cord effects in infinite variety.
