Sunshine Of thA Soul.

The testimony of the weak who OBJ
scurely and patiently suffer is one
Of the convincing credentials Of
Christianity. There are countless
humble saints who are lights in dark
places through their manifestation of
the peace and JOY that Christ gives
them in humble surroundings and
severe affections. The same gospel
that heroic heralds preach in far-off
heather lands, they silently but eff
fectually proclaim in lonely hamlets
and in the slums of great cities, by
their patience, their peace, their un-
~selishness. We would have liked to
see the face Of Stephen when 1t was
Xix that Of an angel; but may be CRATE
full that we have been permitted to
see nor than once the faces of men
and women shining like that of an
angel when in great extremity Of pain
or sorrow and destitute Of material
are rich in faith are everywhere, and
their comfort and joy in Christ bear
fruit and offsets the inconsistencies
of well-to-do worldlings that bear the
Christian name and worship vanity
Health and comfortable circumstances
and a pleasant social environment are
desirable blessings; but the indwell-
ing of Christ In the heart can make
up for the lack Of all of them. THE
light shineth in darkness" The sun
shine of the soul Is for all who real
ize their need Of 1t.

Outside of Stanley's old road from
Matado to Stanley Pool, now rarely
used, and the lately constructed roads
In the Katanga connecting the differ
ent mines, there are no roads in the
Kongo. Native trails, waterways and
railroads furnish the only facilities of
transportation. Over the trails native
porters carry loads averaging sixty
pounds on their heads. There are no
native industries in Belgian Kongo. In
former days, before the state required
so much of the natives time to gather
rubber and prepare food, and before
traders had introduced manufactured
goods, the natives wove grass cloth
and mats, made baskets, metal spears,
implements and ornaments. Now,
even though the rubber days are
past, the new generation knows little
of the native arts and the young men
are usually found in the service Of the
state as soldiers or workmen.

BRIMS OF ODD SHAPE
REGULARITY OF HATS FOR MID
SUMMER WEAR.
Unfamiliar Lines Mark the Latest
Millinery Deslsns--Elaboratlon In
Trimmings Is Also a Marked
Feature of the Season.

There are many large hats displayed
for midsummer wear, and nearly all of
them show some popularity of brim,
either in upward lift or indentations
or the name of trimming. There
are sudden widenings or narrowings
also, giving the hat unfamiliar lines
about the brim edge, but these shapes
are nevertheless well balanced and be-
coming about the face. AS a rule
srowns are medium in size and dome
shaped, and there is departure from
this SO ~infrequently that the brim may
be said to be the essential feature on
which to center attention.
Besides the oddly of brims, it is
to be noted that the newest hats show
much elaboration in trimmings. Bands
of net or chiffon, frills of lace, maline
folds, many flowers, velvet ribbons and
plumage, are all cleverly managed, so
that the composition of a single hat
includes three or perhaps four ma
terials. The art of the trimmer Is
more evident in using this variety
than in simply placing a tuft of
plumes or a wreath of flowers on a
graceful shape. Both simply trimmed
and deliberately made hats are at
tractive, but the latter are more in
teresting.
AS an instance of this successful use
of several materials on one hat, one
of the rolling brimmed French sailors
in white chip may be cited. This

SMALL COATS TO BE WORN
FancifuI Little Garments In Many
Materials Are a Feature of
the Season.

The most difficult part of the fitting
of an overdrapery is in keeping the
sides straight and slim in outline. The
slit skirt Is now accomplished with
an over-effect.
There is every indication that the
short, fanciful little coat in silk of n
kind or another is to be an important
item of the summer outfit this year.
The eton, the bolero and a host of
models more or less related to these
two old friends are already in evil
dence, the less closely related coates
showing a leaning toward abbreviated
mantle or dolman lines, in keeping
with the ubiquitous taffetas and their
bouillonees, ruching and quillings.
On the whole, these little wraps are
picturesque and piquant. Perhaps
some of them are a trife too odd, but
that depends a great deal upon the
woman who wears them.

GIRDLE SHOULD BE NARROW
Important Fact That the Woman of
Middle Age VIII Do Well
to Remember.

If the middle aged woman insists up
on wearing a girdle, regardless of the
length or width of her waist, she
should have that girdle very narrow
with long ends extending to the hem
of her skirt. A certain well dressed
middle aged woman who looks much
slighter and taller than her true
measurements affects girdles of satin
or velvet ribbon of black or a deep
shade of a color.
The belt portion of the accessory
is more than an inch broad and
goes about her waist, closing under
two long ends, which are drawn over
the belt, but not knotted or bowed.
And these ends are weighted invisibly,
for that middle aged woman knows
that to figures proportional similarly
to hers %futtering ribbons and frivolous
little Fittings belong net.

VALUE OF LAUREL WREATH
Trophy Has Always Been Much PrIzed
by Victors In the Arena and
In Battle.

"
Time was when a laurel wreath
meant to the winner Of an event more
than a diamond-studded belt and a
100000 purse, and the classics give
us no hint Of any fakes" in those
days, says the New York Telegram.
1t is curious what an important part
laurels have played in the develop
ment of man, and to win ones
laurels" is a phrase in ommon use, as
s1gnifying the attainment of honors Of
one sort or another.
Gerard tells us that the laurel "is
well respected for the beauty Of Its
leaves and their continual greenness,"
and these leaves are remarkable for
the fragrant though dangerous odor
they give forth. Indeed, the leaves
were at one time much used in cook
cry to impart the flavor o. almond, for
both contain the acid which goes to
form prussic poison. But so danger
GUS is the shrub in this respect that
its use has almost disappeared from
modern cookery, though the sweet bay
which Is another form of laurel-is
much used up to the present time, as
it Is harmless unless taken in large
quantities.
This form, the bay, 1t was that
probably became the pride Of the
victors in the Pythian games held in
honor of Apollo in ancient Greece.
For it was by mean of the puriflca-
ton the god obtained in the sacred
groves of Tempe, from the blood Of
the python, that he was enabled to
purify others, and the laurel held a
close connection with Apollo In an
cient Greece, the legend Of the beauti-
full woman who was changed into a
laurel being the origin Of the modern
name Daphne, which has been be-
slowed upon the two native species Of
laurel in this country.
1t was only the winners of the con-
tests in the Pythian games who were
crowned with the laurel, the Olympian
winners receiving crowns of olive
leaves, and the Nemean and Ismian
winners receiving crowns of pine and
parsley respectively, but the use Of
the laurel afterward spread into
Rome where the victors in war were
crowned with laurel, and the leaves
were much used in the triumphal
entry into Rome of the conqueror
after a battle,

Wanted to Know the cuIprIt.

q The following story was told recent
~ by Austin Haines to a party of
friends he entertained at luncheon:
Down In a little Florida town two
negro families live in shanties about
a stones throw apart. They obtain
their drinking water from a shallow
open we'll located midway between the
two houses. A fence which separates
the two yards is built up to the well
on both sides. Every evening after
her days work is done, 1t Is the Gus
tom of one Of the negro mammies to
pick up buckets and go to the we'll for
water. One day the owner Of the
property moved the fence back about
ten feet from where 1t originally stood.
That evening when Eliza started out
with her pail she fixed her eye on the
fence and made straight for it. Walk
ing hurriedly along the beaten path,
she plunged into the shallow we'll with
a splash. Her screams brought i'm
mediate assistance, and as she climb
ed out and spied the fence ten feet
away she Indignantly exclaimed:

WASN'T 4 FIVE O'CLOCK TEA
Class One Of Chess Fanatics Properly
Objected to GarruIousness Of

Two elderly chess fanatics were alb
sorbed in a game at the Merchants
institute In San Francisco recently.
Both were experts and rigid follow
ers OF all the rules Of the game, writ
ten and otherwise. For nearly five
hours neither had spoken a word.
Backward and forward, moving and
countermoving, the game swung, with
no perceptible advantage to either
player. Finally one of the old fell
lows made a fatal break. Quick as a
hash his opponent moved his knight
into position, and softly murmured,
Check"
The other player, making no effort
TO conceal his displeasure, rose from
the game.

friend. Going to quit7"

DIVIDING LINE OF FASHION
Marked Difference in Opposing Ideas
as to What Shall Be Given
Permanent Favor.

Thig, briefly, is the burning ques-

ously to the eighteenth century re-
viv&l with it's paniers, fichus and
poin.ed bodices, or shall we continue
to admire the flowing draperies dis
playing an obviously corsetless con-
dillon and a rather dowdy and exceed
ingly expensive simplicity?
Simplicity is hardly the word for
the statuesque complexities of drapery
which some of the best people insist
on hanging on their bones to grace
every occasion indoors or out Of
them. They talk of nothing but pro-
portion, line and harmony, and, to
practice what they preach, turn them
selves into living pictures for the ben
eft of the spectator.
All this Is thanks to the designs of
artists who have chosen silks and
satins instead of paint and canvas
as a method of expression. Their

Wichita lawyers are yet talking
about the way Wallace B. Baker, who
was found guilty recently in the dis
trict court of selling mortgaged
property, showed his ignorance of
married life. The prosecuting attor-

wasn't married. He asked Barker the
following questions:

DU BIOUS
About What Her Husband Would Say

A Mich. woman tried Postum be.
cause coffee disagreed with her and
her husband. Tea Is just as harm
full as coffee because 1t contains caf-
feine-the same drug found In COT
fee. She writes:
my husband was sick for three
years with catarrh of the bladder, and
palpitation of the heart, caused by
coffee. Was unable to work at all
and in bed part of the time.
Il had stomach trouble, was weak
and fretful so 1 could not attend to
my housework-both of US using cof-
fee all the time and not realizing 1t
was harmful.
One morning the grocer's wife
said she believed coffee was the cause
of our trouble and advised Postum. l
took 1t home rather dubious what my
husband would say-he was fond Of
coffee.
But 1 took coffee right off the table
and we haven't used a cup Of 1t since.
You should have seen the change in
US, and now my husband never com
plains of heart palpitation any more.
My stomach trouble went away In two
weeks after 1 began Postum. My chill
dren love 1t, and it does them good,
which can't be said Of coffee.
"a lady visited us who was usually
half sick. l told her I'd make her a
cup Of Postum. She said 1t was taste
less stuff, but she watched me make
it, boiling it thoroughly for Is minutes,
and when done, she said 1t was splen-
