SLEEVELESS COATS.

Sleeveless coats Of figured sponge that
are little more than vests prolonged with
loose straight backs below the waist are
extremely pretty. These are often in
eayest coIors, bright blue, green, yellow
or raspberry pink, and have no trim
ming except the button that holds the
cut away fronts together when desired.
Coates Of figured cottons in quaint old
time patterns. ofplain or striped eponge.
or OF silk, top straight skirts of cotton
crepe, or other fancy white materials.
Linen is effectively combined with
printed or spohgy cottons either as coat
or skirt. The contrast is the thing. The
tunic Or coat tail that is laid in deep
side pleats Is favorite. Double skirted
lines either real or simulated promise to
stay in for fall, and are constantly APP
pearing in new quirks.

wealthy municipality of perhaps 2oO,-
600 souls How old it was at that time
we have scant means OF knowing.
Garcilasso would have us believe that
there were only thirteen lncas in the
royal family line from Nance Capac
to Huayna Capac. Montesinos, on the
other hand. assures us that the lncas
ruled thousand years. Which are we
10 believe: No written history of the
race exists only the records of the
juipus. those queer knotted strings
which were the lncas' sole documents
and for which no archaeologist has as
vet discovered the key. the Rosetta
stone.
Cuzco's original plan was. singularly
enough. that of the Roman camp. a
quadrangle divided by two intersecting
streets into quarters. with gate on
each face and towers at the angles.
The lncas. like the citizens of the
United States. had no more definite
name for their country than Tavan-
tinsuya. the Empire of the Four Prov
inces. The four streets of the capital.
prolonged by great roads. divided 1t
into four main provinces. each under
the dominion of its governor. When
their people came to CuZco they lodged
In their own quarter. where they ad-
hered Ia their national costumes and
the customs of their own province.

upon steep hillSides; the two western

The Church Attendance Day serv-
ices at Zion were an entire success
Our large auditorium was filled at
each service. The many strange faces
to be seen in the congregation were
evidence that the movement was very
generally taken up by the people OF
Zion and hearty response shown on
the part of our friends.
The next special day will be on the
30th of this month when the Sunday
school work will be the feature of the
day. A Sunday school choir of young
people will furnish the music and the
pastor will preach on an appropriate
topic. The congregation and friends
are urged to unite to make this day
an even greater success than last Sun
day.
DR.. Shepard's address on last Sun
day afternoon was a masterpiece and
the friends present were greatly
helped by it. Twenty-Five dollars were
given to the work of the National Re-
ligious Training School at the meet
ing and during the week this amount
was raised to $35 by another member
of the congregation. DR.. Shepard will
spend tomorrow in Canon City.
The sacrament of the Lords Supper
will, be administered Sunday evening.

Glow Worm Beats Lamps.

Between the glow worm and the in
candescent lamp there yawns a gap
which will some day be bridged by
the combined aid of the physicist,
chemist, engineer and metallurgist.
The luminous creatures of nature,
considered as lighting machines, op-
crate at an efficiency of about 50 per
cent. The best incandescent lamp of
the day has an efficiency of about 2
per cent. Clearly we have still much
to learn from the firefy.-Scientific
