MuzatTaredDin. theiateshahof Persia, had many interesting peculiari ties which are toid by the authors of "Queer Things About Persia:" "He was nervous in the presence of Eu ropeans. He used to stand with one hand on his scimiter and stroke his enormous mustache with the other in order to maintain his composure. As has been said, he used to utter some' piatitudes, Bucb as: Thank God we have had a fortunate year. Rain has been pientifui, and We hope that God wiii make the harvest abundant' if ue was m a gen tat mood ne inquired after the respective sovereigns: 'What are they aii doing? Has the king of Engiand won the yachting race? Has the kaiser ktiied many deer? Was the snitan of Turkey pieased with the pres ent I sent him iateiy? How is the czar?' To which the Russian minister repiied with forced poiiteness. How can he he anything eise hut weii since he is noticed by your majesty?' "Muzatfar ed Din was a good man. His court was paved with good inten tions which he bad not aufhcient en ergy to carry our. T'niike his ances tors, he hated bioodshed. and white he was on the throne instances of capita) punishment were rare. Though he was a great sportsman, a One shot who couid hit with a ride a coin thrown in the air, he was as humane to anitnais as he was to human beings. Muz attar ed Din was very fond of music. He detested thunder. Whenever it tttun dered he used to fake refuge in a vauit where the noise was drowned and had a niuiah, especiaiiy appointed for the purpose, to cairn his misgivings. "Not iong ago among the new things from Europe were tittle canoes in rub ber which were biown out and took the shape of a boat. The shah was very interested. They were tried on the lake of a paiace. Four fat nobies were embarked in one whose waive was partiy opened, and the boat was pushed from iand. It siowiy sank tiii its occupants were ieft doundertng in the water. The shah enjoyed himseif vastiy, especiaiiy when they were brought out iooking as drenched seats. The poor men, though they got rheu matism, were deiighted to have made the shah iaugh. They received pen sions on the spot. "He was much interested in photog raphy. He instituted photographer of state, who receive*$2,000 a year and was expected to buy every new patent that came ont. Muzatfar ed Din was photographed every haif hour. If he saw a European with a camera in the Street he used to stop to iet Mm take his photograph, Ev^*^, kind of machinery, frpm the mosf itnjMKtant. invennon to penny toys, interested him. It was characteristic of him to pay no more attention to Mareonfs dis covery than to a shiiiing automatic toy'—Chicago News. Missouri and Missourah. We are perturbed to see that a Mis aourt schooima'am haa been teiiing the Omaha people that the right way to pronounce Missouri is "Musour-i," with an Itaiian "t." It is not With the ietter "i" that we have any fault to and, but with the elimination of the Engiish "i" on the Hrst syiiabie. We cannot hnd anywhere among the au thorities on our ianguage a precedent for giving the second sound of "u" to "i" except in words iike "bird," "third" and others where "r" foiiows it. "Mussissippi" is as good a pronuncia tton as "Mussouri." There are so many mispronunciations of Missouri that perhaps one more is not a much greater distress. The chief pronuncia tory thorn in Missouri is "Missourah." This thrives iike the burdock in the barnyard. It is hard to remedy that twist in the culmination of "Missou rah." Tpere are politicians who take "Missourah" along with them when they go campaigning, as they do the biack siouch hat. At home they can discard one as easiiy as they can tAe off the other. Then there are others who are rear ed to Missourah" as some Iowans are reared tc "loway." Arkansas wisely decided to become "Arkansaw" by taw and Mick to it, which ieaves "Kan sds" or "Kansaw" either right or wrong. Missouri is "Missoury" by !eg tsiathe enactment, and that ought to settle it, for these are the days when reppect for legislative acts is extremely marked —St, Louis Giobe Derpocrat.

The bookseller at Bastogne, being asked to display his wares, brought out a seiection of account hooks and replied to the remoustance of a trav eler storm stayed in this unexciting spot, "There are so many books that if I had one it is uniikety it wouid be the one you'wish for; therefore it is as weli to have none," an opinion presum ably shared by the Beigian govern ment.—London Mail.

When the news of the disaster was published It was noted y a peculiar coincidence by Wall street that a schooner named aft er Thomas W. Lawson, the Standard Oil company's inveterate foe, and char tered by-that corporation, should have been lost on Friday, the 13th, which was the title of a novel written by Mr. Lawson In which he attacked the Standard Oil company.— New York Tribune Childless Homes.

Los Angeies, Cal., Jan. 6—What we think we are, what we realty are and what we most desire to be is the theme of this practical sermon, the preacher taking for his text James i, yxili, "He Is iike unto a tnan hehoiding his nature) face in a mirror (8. V.). it is a strange fact that most people know little of their physical appear ance. The shrewd Scottish poet's de sire is familiar to us all: Oh. wad some power the gittie gie us To see ourseis as ithers see us. But the "giftle" he invoked never gave the power. No man ever sees himself as he Is seen either by his friends or by his enemies. When iooking at our selves we nearly always have blurred spectacles. Sir Anthony Vandyke, iike other great portrait painters, used his own face for a model, hut it is very iikely the picture was not true to life. Queen Elizabeth bade the court artist omit the shadows from bis picture of her face, the "shadows" being wrin kles that a straw might have been laid in. She had not the courage of Crom well, who told the artist to paint him as he was and not leave out the warts. Most of us want to look better than we are. and we often deceive even our selves. i once heard a great speaker give a humorous description of how he first saw himself as others saw him. Like most of us. up to that time he never knew how he looked, but one day a friend took him to visit "the Hail of a Thousand Mirrors." When he went into this palace he found the doors, the ceilings, the walls, all composed of looking giasses. in these thousand mirrors he saw his own face and body reflected in a thousand different places. He saw every motion and gesture re peated from every angle and learned how he appeared full face and side wise, and he Was unpleasantly aston ished. "What!" he soliloquized. "Do I look like those people? Do i act iike those people? Well, one fact is certain —other people may like me, but I could never learn to like myself." The eas test place In all the world for an aver age man to kill his egotism and van ity would be for him occasionally to visit a "hall of a thousand mirrors," where he can see himself as others see him. The figure of my text Implies that we are as unconscious of our faults of character as we are of our physical de fects. As the man vain of his outward appearance is reproved by his mirror, so the man proud of his character is reproved when he looks into Qod's word. But he. like the other, is pyone to forget the revelafMn an(Lgbc^"hV way. forgetting what manner of man he is. This is unfortunate, because we might remedy the defects of our character if we studied them and sought Qod's help. The Defects of Character. There are other mirrors that help us to get a true estimate of ourselves, and I want to point out this morning how we may use them for our self im provement. in the first place, I want you to carefully examine the resec tions we may see in the iooking glasses held before our faces by the loving hands of our best and tenderest and dearest friends, it is not by any means a pleasant mirror to iook at. Somehow many of us are deceived by the idea that friends above all man kind should think that our faces are perfect faces and our natures perfect natures, but that is unreasonable. The true friend tty tnnmate assocmuon may And virtues in us hidden from the eyes of the rest of the world, but he also Ands imperfections in us which the world does not see. Then the true friend proves his affection by pointing out to us those defects and warning us against the disasters that may come from them. Wise is the man and the woman and the child who heed the warnings spoken by those they love. Those warnings began to come to us way back in our childhood days, when we were surrounded by our brothers and Bisters. We now live in a great big worid where we have hundreds, perhaps thousands, of acquaintances. We have daily and houriy dealings with our feilow men. But i want to teii you that in all your business and domestic career as a mature man the besetting sins of your life are not more self evident to your friends than they were to your father, and especial ly to your mother, when you piayed with your brothers and sisters in the nursery. You can feel that loving ma ternal eye now boring straight into your heart and Andtng the Aaws there. Even now you can hear her say, "John, the reason you took that big apple from your iittie sister is because yon are selAsh, and that is the besetting sin you must Aght all your iife." Or she says, "John, you are naturaiiy de ceitful." "John, that was the act of a coward." "John, the difAculty about you is you are vain and jealous. You hate to hear any one else praised. You are not satisAed unless every one is praising you." Though years have passed since your mother uttered those words, yet you know she placed her Anger upon the weakest part of your nature Today, though she is dead, you know that she did her duty to you by showing you your refection in the iooking glass. The True Friend's Criticism. Time passed, and you entered the great wide worid, and you began to make a success. Then false mirrors were held up to deceive you. There gathered about you a lot of sycophants and social vampires. These toadies praise you and fawn over you and Hat ter you. When they are away from you they make fun of you and talk about your weaknesses. An old Span ish proverb says, "The absent are al ways wrong," so you are always wrong to them when you are absent But when these hangers on are with you they have nothing but words of praise for yon ana your wonuerrui aeeus. But, thank God, though there are many who talk against you when you are ab sent, there are a few nobie friends who wiii criticise your fauits to your face. They wiii come up and iay their hands lovingly on your shouiders and say. "Chariie, I wouid not do that." Or they say, "Chariie, you have an evii habit on you now, and it is eating aii the honesty and nobiiity and purity out of your heart, and you must stop or you wiii ruin yourseif." You may iaugh off those warnings and forget them or you may get angry at your true friends, but the friends who are iifting the iooking giass before you and showing your imperfections are your true friends. Wiii you heed these warnings? Wiii you correct those weaknesses of your character? Are aii the giorious opportunities of your iife to be ruined by that one Caw in your nature which your friends have point ed out, but which you negiect to rec tify? But there is another rejecting mirror heid up before our eyes. That is the mirror with which our enemies delight to show our delinquencies to ourseives and to the world. It is a mirror into which most of us look with Cashing eye and Cushed cheek. But it is a re flecting mirror which ought to be as heipfui for our morai and spiritual de velopment as the one which our friends uplift. This mirror has a way of mag nifying and intensifying our weakness es. Like the caricature, it has a way of making prominent the Caws of our nature, and yet at the same time mak ing it very plain for whom the portrait was intended. Hogarth's Pen. These enemies do with the reOecting mirrors what William Hogarth did with his brush and pen. Have you ever been in the museums where they had one room died with concave and convex mirrors? You stand before one mirror, and you seem to be a littie short, fat man about four feet high snd weighing at least 400 pounds. Then you look into another mirror, and in stead of being a little short, fat man, now you will be twelve feet tall and about as wide as a match. Yet, tall and thin, short and fat, you can see in those concave and convex mirrors the same eyes, lips, hands and hair. So our enemies in life take us and pull us out or shove us in and twist us all out of shape in order to magnify our faults; but, though they expose our errors with unfailing skill, we stiil retain enough of our original selves to let the worid know who we are and what we have done. *And today for our own beneCt thgy are lifting up the reCecting mir rors for us to have a good iook*atv)0r errors and imperfections. But there is still another way in which we can see our reCectlons in the mirrors of our imperfect lives. That is when we stand surrounded by the tragedies and the misfortunes result ant from the mistakes of our past These misfortunes have their stories to tell, just the same as successes have their stories to tell. Though some men may achieve success in spite of glar ing faults in thpir makeup, yet few men ever come to failure unless that failure is the result of some folly or sin which, if it had been discerned in time, could have been rectified. And the man who is not willing to see his faults by his failures is a man who is blind indeed and who will not be taught by the sternest and yet best of all teachers. Chitd Paying With Fir.. Here, for instahce, is a little child. He will persist in playing with fire. One day oat in the back yard near to the farm he ia gathering the leaves and starts them in a Ha me. The farm hand gets there Just in time to scatter the leaves and save all the hay which had been stored away in the loft Neat day the boy is piaying with matches in the nursery, and in a Hash a whole boa goes off, but the older sister throws them out of the window in time to save the lace curtains. The mother has warned the little boy and told him the danger, bnt no good results. "All right," says the father, "that boy must be taught what Hre really is. He must learn by an experience he wip remem ber." So when the boy Is about to touch the hot stove his father docs.not interfere. The boy hums his hand and screams with pain. The mother is in tsars. The father is in tears. But the boy has learned his lesson. He now knows that Hre will bum, and there fore he leaves the matches alone. Hard was the lesson for the boy, hard, too, for the father, but the pain was worth the cure. So with God and his erring children. We have certain fauits and weaknesses. Our friends have toid us about them. Our enemies have told us about them. They have both held up the mirrors for us to see our faults, but we would not. God Is sorry, but if we will learn In no other way we must learn In that Some tragedy comes In our life, and we say: "What a misfor tune! How could our loving Father al low that to fall upon us?" My friend, It is not a misfortune. It Is discipline. That fault In you had to be corrected to save you from worse evil. Be thank ful that It was sent to you, and take care you learn the lesson It was sent to teach. I We are puttied when this experience happens to us, though we are able to trace back the evil causes of our neigh bors' tragedies. Indeed, it is far easier for a physician to diagnose the disease of another man than to prescribe for the maHgpant fever that is burning Ms own vitais. When we go through tife and find one tronbie coming to one man and another tronbie coming to an other man and stii) another tronbie coming to a third we say: "There, I toid you ae. Those men were once boys with me and grew up with me, and I knew they wouid come to no rood end. Why, years ago, those men vere iaying the foundations of these very faiiures. I knew it and/toid them so." Have You Degenerated? Carry yonr thoughts back to the days of your otd Christian home. Are yon tnot startied at the changes in your iife? Have you not degenerated? If today you couid make a targe sum of money by unioading a iot of worthiess land as future buiiding iots npon some ignorant purchaser who had not yet cut his wisdom teeth, wouid you do it? How are you different from your oid friend whose misfortunes you were just discussing? The oniy difference between you and him is the rapidity with which you are iosing your morai and spirituai integrity. Are you going to forget the weakness that overthrew your oid schooimate? As one who iooks into a mirror and then turns away and forgets how he appears, wiii you ignore the iessons which your neighbors' misfortunes are preaching to you? But if we can see our sins redected in the morai and spirituai tragedies of those about us, can we not see what we might become by Christian grace in the joy and the happiness of those who are iiving about us and who are living for the higher itfe? If the mightiest temperance iessons are preached by the intoxicated man, staggering and hiccoughing aiong the pubiic highway, so the greatest truths of gospei peace are preached in the smiiing, radiant and triumphant iooks of those who for years have been waiking with and iiv ing near Christ. And if you wiii go to some of those consecrated, happy Christians they wiii tei! you that once they were just as you are now. But the redeeming power of the Lord Jesus Christ came into their iives and en tirety changed their hearts and their whole natures. What they once ioved they now hate. And as* they taik they seem to hoid up to us a redecting mir ror showing us our nobier nod better selves as they sny: "Brother, you can be iike that. Sister, you can be iike that. Wiii you iet Christ work in you his miracie as ite has done in our na tures?" Oh, my brother, in the iives of your Christian friends have you never caught a momentary rejection of what your spirituai face, by the grace of God, might become? Are you going to shut your eyes to that divine revela tion as the man behoiding his naturai face in a mirror turns away and for gets how he iooks? I want to ask you stiii another ques tion. Is it not a fact as the tragedies of your own iife have been swooping down upon you with terridc anguish that you have been ionging more and more for the rapturous took ypu have seen in the peacefui countenance of your friends who have been iiving near and ever nearer to ChrisC^j^^ If this fact is true when wot^^^ntc* the happy faces of our dear ones, how much truer is it when we look into th divine face of Jesus himseif! Even in the best of our friends' faces we ca: dnd some daws if we oniy study thost faces long enough, but in the face o; Christ there is no daw. There is transforming power in the contempia tion of that redectton. That is the di vine secret of the changed character "We ail with unveiied face, behoiding as in a mirror the giory of the Lord are transformed into the same image from giory to giory." Into that mirror iet us ever iook, and as we behoid the perfection of that divine character so wiii our own characters ite changed into the same image. "We shaii be come iike him, for we shaii see him as he is." [Copyright, 1907. by Louis Kiopsch.] The Btood of Our President*. Despite the fact that we are the moat amalgamated nation on earth, but two of the twenty-8?e men who have served the country ;as president came from other than British anceatry. Hav ing occasion a few days since to go over a iist of the presidents, it occurred to,me that it wou!d be of interest to see whence oar executives come. I 8nd that aii but twd—Van Buren and Roosevelt, who came from the Dutch ware of British ancestry. These twenty-three from the British are divided up into Scotch-Irish, Scotch, Welsh and English. From the Scotch Irish came Jackson, Polk, Buchanan, Arthur and McKinley; from the Scotch are Monroe, Grant 'and Hayes, and from the Welsh came Jefferson. AH j the rest came from the English, pure and simple. German, French, Italian, Polish, Russian and Scandinavian blood has not yet mingled In the veins of our presidents and probably will not for some time.—PathBnder. How Shaw Writes His Piays. A recent biography of Sir Charles Wyndham contains a good story of George Bernard Shaw. Sir Charies was asked one day if he had ever con templated appearing in a Shawian play. "Oh, yes," he said. "Bernard Shaw was very anxious for me to ap pear in some of his productions. I re member his coming to me some years ago to read me one of his piays. He put his hand in his breast pocket and produced a small notebook, which he placed upon the table. Then he dived Into another pocket and produced an other notebook, a little bit larger than the Brst. He proceeded in this fashion to ransack his pockets until no fewer than seven small notebooks lay on the table. That's the play,' said Mr. Shaw complacentiy. always write my plays on the tops of bases, so I have to use notebooks'" This particular play was "The Philanderer." FaattHOLD, H. J. Dec. s, <907.

Between the ages of fifteen and forty-five, the time when womanhood begins and motherhood ends, it is estimated that the aggregate term of woman's suRering is ten years. Ten yeate out of thirty! One third of the. best part of a woman's )i(e in But time is not at) that is iost. Tiiose years of sufTeriug steai the bloom from the cheeks! the brightness from the eyes, the fairness from the form. They write their record in many a crease and wriukte. What a boon then to woman, is Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription. It promotes per fect reguiaritv. dries up detdiitating drains, heals utceration, cures female weakness, audestabiishes the delicate womanly organs in vigorous and per manent heaith.

The injured woman was placed in her car and driven to the home of Dr. G. Silvers. It was necessary to take 18 stitches in Mrs. Borden's face and neck. The oniy thing that saved her from being beheaded was a strip of woo l that crossed the piate-giass front of the car. Mrs. Borden's neck was resting against this strip of wood when Bor den removed her. The auto was cov ered with biood from the wounds of the injured wbman. Miss Borden went to Ttenton and arranged to have the wrecked auto rnobiie towed there. The car is ai ruosta totai wreck.

Not a Long Session. There is a Brm beUef among Repub iican ieaders that the coming session of the ieglsiature wii! not be iong drawn out. The state courts are over burdened with a mass of undigested iegisiation, and there is a strong sen timent throughout the state that there should be a faiiing off in the iawmak ing. Governors for years past have warned the different iegtsiatures against loading up the statute books with useless iegisiation, and the time has arrived when, it is believed, heed wiii be given to these warnings and measures wiii be considerably pruned down. There is also considerable sentiment for biennia] sessions of the ieglsiature in this state, and it is likeiy that some thing wiii be done this year to aecom piish this end. AH of the states with the exception of about six now have sessions every two years, and there is no particular reason why the New Jersey legislature shouid meet every year. Yet there wiii be considerabie difbcuity in changing, as the institut ing of bienniai sessions wiii require an amendment to the constitution. Governor Stokes wiii send his iast message to the iegisiature next Tues day. It is expected that he wiii re view his administration and make a number of suggestions and recommen dations. important Legislation. The moat important measure for leg iatative consideration wiii be that of civii service. Both parties piedged themseives to it in their piatforms, and Speaker JeBS on the day of the caucus toid his feiiow members of the house: "Much has been given the He pubiican party and from it much wiii be expected. We must show the i)eopie that piatform promises are made to be kept." Leader Martin of the majority as a "new idea" exponent stands heart iiy for civii service, so that it has a good chance of getting through the house, and it is not considered as at aii iikeiy that the senate wiii turn down any bit] that the assembiy may pass. The Hreiinghuysen automobile iaw wiii be given another dose of repairs, and Senator Frelingliuysen will be chief of the repair men. Just wha) the amendments wiii be cannot be fuily set forth now, as they are mostly stow ed away In tin- minds of the iegis iators. The chief one, however, is to be the removai of the position of com missioner of motor vehicles from the department of state, making a distinct otHce of it. The present commission er, .1. B. It. Smith, aiso hoids the post tion of assistant secretary of state. An effort may be made to attach the motor vehicie enforcement and regis tration bureau to the department of State Hoad Commissioner Hutchinson. It is almost certain that the voting machine wiii have a hard struggle for existence, and its opponents confident iy predict that it will i)e "down and out." The returns last fal) were not at all satisfactory to the majority, and much blame is put on the voting nut chine. In Trenton the defeat of Tax Receiver Frederick Hiikyson is iaid to this method of voting. His oppo nent made no canvass, but was unex pectedly eiected by the narrow margin of thirty two votes. Last, but tty no means ieast, is the ever present prohibition problem. The coid water folk have been greatly en couraged by the wave of liquor reform that is sweeping over the country and are considering severai soiutions of the question for this state. Locai option is now tiie favorite, but it wiii not be uu tii the session is weii started that any biii will be presented by them. The inaugurai. Detaiis of the arrangements for the inauguration of Governor Eieet Fort have been cooipieted. The tnaugura) ceremonies wiii be heid In the Tayiot Opera House, this city, at noon on Tuesday. Jan. 21. In accordance with the expressed wish of the new govern or, there wiii be no miiitary dispiay whatever. The event, however, wiii be one of great civic spiendor. A commit tee of the iegisiature wiii escort Gov ernor Fort to the opera house in car Wages. The stage wiii be occupied by members of the iegisiature and dis tinguished guests. Rev. James 11.

It j tends to ioosen the restrictions on the banks and gives preference to the se curities they deai in over commercial paper on every sort- By it raiiroad bonds are utiiized as a basis of mon ey. Whatever securities are dealt in by banks are strengthened and in creased in vaiue. Under it commerciai paper can be discounted with money based on raiiroad securities, provided the emergency creating the necessity for such action exists in the judgment of the secretary of the treasury and snch interests as may influence him. In genera! the raiiroads whose securi ties have been used in so much of the financial gambiing of the iast few years are put far ahead of the busi ness houses and their securities eie vated above the best commerciai pa per. Hopeful of tte Passage. It is understood thnt aii the Repub lican members of the committee are in favor of the measure except Senator Hansbrough. who believes that a cen tra! bank wiii best soive the currency probiem.

They declare titat white they are anxious that it ^honid not he a partisan measure, yet if Democratic opposition shouid he deveioped to the Republican pian for such iegisiation the majority wiii proceed to put the biii through the senate as a party measure. It is expected that there wiii be Democratic criticism of the Aidrich i biii, and Republicans deciare that they I are, ready to accept any reasonabie amendment from that source that may resuit in making the biii as nearly nonpartisan as possihie. The biii wiii not be taken up by the committee uatti next Tuesday, Senator Aidrich niiowieg a week to eiapse to give ample time for its consideration. Cuiborson'a Three Biiie. Senator Culberson introduced three biiis in relation to nationai banks, aii of which were referred to the commit tee on finance.

The Ohio Hepublican state central committee decided to issue a call for state primaries to be heid on Feb. 11 and for a state convention to be held in Columbus on Starch 3 to seiect dele gates to the Hepublican national con vention. The friends of Wiiiiam H. Taft, secretary of war and candidate for the Repubiican nomination for president, were in control of the com mittee, casting 14 votes to 7 for the supporters of Senator Joseph Benson Foraker. also an avowed candidate for the presidency. The vote stood 14 to 7 on every proposition which required a roii tail except the seiection of a temporary chairman for the state con vention/ The Foraker leaders say they will ignore the cali. They charge the Taft men with an liiegai use of the state's ciection machinery. United States Senator Knox of Pennsylvania. who has taken much Interest In the iitigation growing out of the eptpioyers' iiabiiity act. which was declared to he unconstttutionai In the supreme court of the United States, introduced a biii in the senate which is intended to retnedy the defects in the present iaw. The bili is so drawn as to make It appiicable oniy to cor porations engaged in such commerce as congress ltas the undoubted right to control and to employees of such cor porations engaged exciusiveiy in inter state commerce. The existing law is so broad as to cover al! transportation between states, but Mr. Knox's biii so modifies it as to iimit its operations to common carriers which are operated by steam or similar motive power. In a message to the house of repre sentatives President Rooseveit urged that in preparing for the work of tak ing the next census the 4.000 or more additionai enipioyees needed be ap pointed only after ^competitive exami nation under the ruies of the civil service commission and strongly de nounced the patronage system of mak ing the appointments, saying that the civil service commission was fully cap able of securing the most efficient force. The noncompetitive examina tions used in seiecting the force at Washington of the last two censuses, the president said, served only "as a cioak to hide the nakedness of the spoils system." Such examinations, he declared, were usetess as checks upon patronage appointments. The Rev. D. 1. McDermott, rector of St. Mary's Roman Catholic church in Philadelphia, refused to permit funerai services to be held over the remains of John Daly, a parishioner, because an Ancient Order of Hibernian lodge had been invited to attend the obse quies. Because of Father McDermott's opposition to the Hibernians the funer ai had to be postponed. Subsequently the invitation to the Hibernians to at tend the funerai was revoked, and the funeral was held from the church. Father McDermott in explanation of his opposition to the society said he formed an opinion of the Hibernians during the Moliy Maguire reign of ter ror in the Pennsylvania coal regions. Secretary Metcalf made public two ietters addressed to him by President Roosevelt, In which the latter places Rear Admiral W. H. Brownson in the "disioyal" class for resigning his post as chief of the navigation bureau in the navy department. The president says the admiral was guilty of gross impropriety in resigning and accuses him of having quit the service in pique, which action, he said, was sub versive of navai discipline. Rear Ad miral Brownson declares he resigned because the recent order ptacmg a medical otttccr iu command of a hos pital ship is cieariy opposed to the in tent of the iaw and showed a want of conSdence in his advice.

Marjorie Dane's Patterns **w*-*HHdresBy costume (5984-5961) Is a popular i example of the pretty guimpe modes that are now having such vogue. The design Is a happy combination of simplicity and good style, and will not prove at all difficult for the home dress maker to attempt. The development was in tan -oloted voile, and an Inner vest of heavy lace lends especial charm to the waist. The skirt is one of the most attractive among the new designs. It Is a practical four gore model, laid in an Inverted box pleat at each seam. The top is given close adjust ment. while the lower edge Hares in prevailing style. Soutache braid, so fashionable just now, is effective ly used in the trimming. Any of the light-weight cloths or silks are adaptable to this design. For 96 Inches bust measure 236 yards of 44 Inch material will be required for the waist, and 4% yards for the skirt. I ndies' Waist with Guimpe. Bio. 5884.

This illustration caiis for two separate patterns, a waist and a skirt, at 18 cent" each. The charming gown (6001-6995) shows one of the latest developments of the popular over waist, and is decidediv attractive. Deep tucks at the shoulders are stitched down a short distance in the front, while In the back they are carried down to the waistline In shapely effect. The short wide Japanese sleeves are prettily caught up by straps fastened by ornamental buttons, which are also used in the decoration of the front. The skirt is one of the newest and smartest of the season. It Is a graceful Hve gored model and will serve nicely as a separate skirt to wear with odd waists or as part of a cos tume. The top Is tucked to deep yoke depth, except In the front, which Is left plain In panel effect. The circular Hounces add a becoming Hare to the lower edge, which may be in medium sweep or round iength. As represented, chiffon broadcloth was used for the making, and heavy lace laid over black satin was used In trimming the waist. The design is also adapted to voile, taffeta and satin cioth. For 36 inches bust measure 1% yards of 44 inch materia] wit! be required for the waist and 8% yards for the skirt. Ladies' Over-W aist. Mo. 8801.

Afternoon Te& Etiquette' The question of calling or not calling after having attended an afternoon tea is one that has been answered both in the affirmative and the negative. However, it Is always better to call a couple of weeks after the tea has been given. Of course, if someone has days at home the whole season and you simply drop In inforfhally to call on one of those afternoons, that constitutes a call In itself, but If you are especially invited to an "at home" or a "tea" for one afternoon, then I would say that you owe your hostess a call, which should be paid within the month enBuirfg. When issuing cards for such functions, you should send them out In sealed envelopes at least two weeks Tn**lad vance. Never economize in so flagrant a way as to send out cards in Unsealed envelopes which can be mailed with a one-cent stamp. You need never accept or decline in writing these Invitations. If you do not attend the tea. then on the day it is given mail your card to the hostess. That is ail that is necessary. If you are asked to assist at a tea join your hostess on time, a few minutes eariier than the first hour named on the card, and wear the very prettiest house gown that you have. Unless the occasion is extremely formal, you need not wear gloves, as you will be needed to make yourself generally useful about the serving, etc. If possible, when serving wear a dainty gown that will wash, as you are apt to spill refreshments on it. Kentucky CoM Creann. Rosewater, 4 ounces; al mond oil, 4 ounces; spermaceti, 1 ounce; white wax. 1 ounce. Orange flower water, lilac, violet or elder dower water can be substituted at pleasure^ in place of rosewater, and the addition of one drachm of tinc ture of benzoin or one-half drachm of salicylic acid will insure the cream from becoming rancid. It should always be put in small open mouthed Jars that can be tightly closed to exclude the air. AFTERHOOH GOWH3 How to Keep Away the Wrinkles O not wait until your face is like a pte33 of j s crumpled parchment, then rush to a beauty doctm* for reiief—begin with the very first tiny wrinkle that shows itseif and work on it until it disappears. Massage is the greatest cure yet dis covered, and with the help of good creams, proper bathing, etc., a woman, in her own home, can do much to alleviate this most common afHiction. Massa^, however, must be done properly, for there are certain swift, rough movements that will bring on rather than make way with wrinkles. You must rub across, not in the wrinkles. One of the most simple illustrations of this is a piece of soft tissue paper that has been crumpled up. Now. rub the creases out of it. You wouid rub very gently, would you not? You would rub up a little, then down a little. Just so must you treat your face. If your skin is very oily do not use an astringent so strong that it eats up all the natural oi^ and leaves the skin dry and hard. This will induce wrinkles as quick as anything. Rather, apply a little camphor-water, use no greasy soaps, steam the face once a week, making sure that these simple remedies are of no avail before more heroic methods are adopted. The most dlfHcult wrinkles to get rid of are thost that come between the eyes. Generally this set of wrinkles comes from a long established habit of frowning. Many women use plasters for this pur pose, and the treatment has been very successful in numerous cases. They are to be obtained of any good druggist, and should be applied at night in such a manner as to smooth out the wrinkles, keeping the fiesh perfectly Hat. Massage is also splendid, and frequent applications of sour cream is beneficial. In fact, sour cream is a good face wash and is easily obtained. Used once a day it is said to be very nourishing to weakened tissues. In order to get the full benefit of massage, it must be done systematically and the face prepared before the cream is applied. First, wash with very warm water to which a few drops of benzoin have been added. If soap is used, it must be pure and well rinsed oH, as it is necessary for the pores to be open in order to derive any benefit from the massage. Then put on plenty of cream, not a tiny scrap, but cover the face liberally and rub and rub, gently but persistently, until the skin has eaten up all the cream. Night is the best time for this practice, as it is never wise to go out into the air immediately after the treatment. Most women are apt to go out soon after washing the face—a very bad practice. If you must do this, wash the face with cologne water, which will tighten up the pores a little, or put on a veil a$ a means of protection. I shoyld be glad to send any reader a set of instructions for massaging the face if she will send me a stamped and self-addressed envelope. The most important thing is to prevent wrinkles coming. Their causes are many. The automobile has been blamed for the almost universal appearance of wrinkles on the faces of rather young women. The first step towards removing wrinkles of this %rt is steaming the face and keeping it absolutely, clean, ^nd after cleansing, adding plenty of cream. The* wrinkles that come from worries are of another type. They seem to extend from the forehead to the cMii—tiny, little stubborn wrinkles that only a light heart within and infinite care from without can alle viate. Then come the hard little wrinkles that form around the mouth of the woman who has many chil dren to feed and dress with insufHcient funds. It is rather difHcuit to offer medicine to women bf the latter class, and there are many of them. Trying to make ends meet is not a pleasant way to spend a lifetime, and the lines will come—fight them as you may. Sleep is the cheapest and best medicine for such ills. The business woman develops wrinkles be cause she works all day and is apt to try to keep up a social life in the evenings, thus robbing her of that great restorer of beauty. Placid, easy-going women who lead idle lives can afford to curtail their hours of sleep, but the nervous, busy, energetic woman needs from eight to twelve hours out of every twenty-four. ____ The Neckpie ce and Its Selection MKT a giri in the street yesterday dressed for a walk in a raincoat ofcravenetteandasetofermine furs! That may not Bound very dread ful as you read it. but shut your ey^& and picture it to yourself. It was simply impossible. No doubt the girl had other furs, but why wear them with a raincoat? Better had she wrapped a silk handkerchief around her throat under the coat and let the furs stay peacefully at home, than to have made herself the laughing stock of pasaersby. To be dressed properly is a far greater achievement than to be dressed handsomely. Money can accomplish the latter, but only brains the former. Ermine furs are only for dressy oc casions, and the girl who wears them morning, noon and night, in good weather and bad. is extremely foolish, to put it mildly Another girl was seen the other day in a large department store buying a hat. She was dressed in a simple lit tle tailor-made suit with short skirt, and she was looking at inexpensive hats to wear with this suit. Around her neck she had a pale blue feather boa that reached nearly to the end of the short skirt. Without the boa she would have been well dressed and caused no comment, but as it was the clerks gathered in little f'iquea and laughed at her. The boa was a iovely addition to any evening gown—an ac cessory that many girls would crave— j but worn over a dark cheviot walking suit it was ridiculous These are only two instances, yet! cities are full of them The girl inj the raincoat should have had nothing about iter neck, unless It was a bit of dark fur. and the girl in the walking suit should not have attempted to mingie her evening frills with street garments. The shops are oversowing with smart little neck-pieces that are appropriate for wear with street suits —dark furs, net pieces with ends of satin ribbons, dark brown marabout boas that are wide and Hat. and hun dreds of novelty pieces. If your furs are light and perishable, such as er mine or white fox. you can only wear them with your best calling costume and your evening clothes Ostrich (tather and marabout boas in pale i shades are for evening gowns pure and simple. They cannot be worn in the street at any time of day. no matter how clear the weather. In summer over a lingerie dress, that is quite a different thing, but summer is a long way off. The girl who lives in a small town, and goes out very little in the evening, is foolish to invest in these pale shades for neck pieces. Better try a soft piece of fur that can be worn day and night; fur is almost sure to be becom ing if you select the dark shades. If your neck-piece must be of net or chif fon. then get a soft neutral color that will look well on your street suit; and if it must do duty for evening wear also, it will not look ill. Really, brown is the safest choice in either fur, net or chiffon. I know of no color that really clashes with it. Those of ypu who have a fur coat that is apt to rub off on the collar of your dress should get a scarf to wear under the coat. This should be made of one of two things—either crepe de chine or china silk, both of which wili wash nicely. Don't get a pale pink chiffon scarf to wear under last year's fur coat. It will make the coat look badly and the scarf a ilttle bit worse. Get white, soft gray, tan or some other soft color, and when it is the least bit soiled, wash it out with lukewarm water and pure soap. Scarfs for this purpose should have no trimming, their only finish being a deep hem at both ends. The great thing is to wear light neck-pieces with light and dainty clothes only; your fur pieces with your street garments: keeping always with in reason. Marabout is being worn more and more, and comes in the softest possible coloring. These boas are not expens ive. and the girl who cannot afford fur will be wisp to turn her eyes on mar about. Net and chiffon pieces are not warm and during the cold weather are little worn except for afternoon re ceptions; never for general Btreet wear. Fur, of course, is preferable to anything else at this season of the year, but if your purse allows of but one set, do not buy ermine or any light colored skin. You will be sorry if you do—take my word for it. LETTER WRITING NE of the greatest aids in the bus iness of winning hearts and hold ing friends is-4o-be found in any well supplied writing desk. If, there fore, you have an eye to the best and the main chance socially, write tidy, timely, well-expressed and numerous notes. A perfect note is a very charm ing and very important human docu ment indeed, and I would have all my readers understand that the pen is still mightier, not only than the sword, but mightier than the telephone, the tele graph and the typewriter, and it serves ful of gaining true popularity. It is a pity, and it is true, that not every man and woman is aware of the power that lies behind the pen, for there are so many of both sexes who, to speak plainly, shirk their duties as correspondents. Without realizing the injustice they do to themselves they admit that they avoid letters and note writing wherever and whenever it is possible to do so. T never write a note when I can use the phone, and if my friends insist upon hearing from me I dictate a page or two to my typewriter or send a wire and there I am," asserted a young gentleman, with a proud smile, as though there was something admirable in such methods, whicl* really are not only as bad as they can be, but in jurious as well to his reputation for consideration, and good-breeding. Not upon the angers of my two hands can I count the men and women who. in his neglect of note and letter writing, he has sorely and forever of fended. Again and again, when in doubts, in difHcuities, and with his reputation for good-breeding and good-nature at stake, he has avoided sending a note and lost a dear and boon companion or the good-will of a very important ac quaintance, for he belongs to that large and ever-growing class who either re gard note and letter-writing as a thief of time, or to the other and equally large class who, for want of early training, do not know how to liva up to the task of using their pens grace fully. To the first of these, to those who say that they have not the time to bother with correspondence, I need only offer the reproach that all kinds of civilities are duties, and to the other MENDING THINGS HE most durable dement %or mend ing china Is ptire white lead, ground in Hnsee<p-oH, so thick It will barely spread smoothly with a knife.

A slangy habit, however, Is not the only false method to be discouraged in the seeker after the easy graces of speech. Beware of faiiing into the way of constantiy employing such phrases as "Listen here" and "say;" of giving as sent and showing surprise by crying "That's right," "Well, you don't say," and concluding the simplest statement with the unimpressive and unnecessary additions of "See!" "Don't you know?" "You know," etc. pen shirkers I must insist tint it is possible for anyone who has ,ad a common school education to acquire the art of writing notes and writing them very well indeed. ha Care of House Plants Treat fema exactly as you would palms, save and except the oiling. Tie up the S^onds rather closely before they go in the bath, and let the pot get a soaking as well. Squares of cheese cloth or old lawn are good to tie over the pots. Set the pot in the middle of the square, and knot the ends across. The best house-ferns are the so-called "Boston" fern, the small sword fern with black stems, and the asparagus fern. The whole maiden-hair family is beautiful beyond expression, but it is idle to think of keeping them in good condition outsidq a fernery or a greenhouse. With a glass fern-case, the most that is needed is not to give too much water, to keep the glass al ways clean and clear of lint; and now and then to fertilize with dissolved bone-meal. Such a case needs to be set away from the source of heat, where it will get light, but no direct sun-rays. The immortelle of house-plants is the rubber-plant; still, there are people for whom even rubber-plants will not grow. The sturdy stocky things need plenty of pot-room, great plenty of fertilizer, a fair degree of warmth and moisture, and a very great deal of sunshine. To make them branch low down is often in the nature of a prob lem. It can be done by almost starv ing the plant, keeping it away from light and heat, with very little water, until ail the leaves fall, save one or two at the tip. This, of course, in an eariy stage; say when the piant is a foot high. After the leaves have drop ped, repot, giving very rich earth, set in sunshine, water freely, and fertilize every fortnight. If growth begins at the tip. tie a cord just below the bud— not tight enough to cut the bark, but to slightly compress the vessels of it. In six weeks buds will be likply to start from several of the cicatrices left by the fallen leaves. Rub off all that are superfluous, and give those chosen every chance to develop.. By and by take off the string around the central stalk. It is no longer needed when the branches are well established, and each pushing up for itself. Wash rubber plants a leaf at a time: they are com monly too unhandy for the bath-tub. Every month or so oil the leaves as directed for palms, but put the oil only on the glossy upper side; the lower side must not have its breathing-pores choked. Bulbs, especially lilies, make charm ing house-plants, doubly charming in that they thrive with so little care, and have* so few of the enemies which plague woody things. The scarlet Amaryllis, of which there are half-a dozen sorts, each sufficiently gorgeous, shows handsome, long, green leaves the year round, very nearly as dec orative as those of the costly Dracena; then in early spring sends up a tall stalk crowned with three to four truly royal blossoms. It is, moreover, cheap; fifty cents will buy a bulb certain to flower. Plant in a six-inch pot, nearly full of rich earth, set where it has good light, water and fertilize well. The bulb lives on from year to year, sending up richer and richer blooms each season. For every bloom-stalk there comes an off-set. a small bulb, which may be separated, and brought to dowering in three years more. Do not leave the off-sets around the parent bulb. They will end by choking it, without ever equalling it. Japan lilies, Easter lilies, tulips, hy acinths, tube-roses, the many-hued savage gladiolus, all, all thrive in pots, and can be made to supply a succession of bloom. Bulbs of every sort should be kept dark for some weeks after planting. Aside from that, the care of them is so easy a child or a simple ton can hardly go astray. All need pot-room, a rich earth, and. an even temperature. Pots may be kept in a cellar, or bath-room, or kitchen, until almost ready to dower, then take their place in the window. With a cellar, by potting a number and moving out the pots in succession, one can have flowers from bulbs through an almost indefinite time. Nut and Cheese Sandwiches.—Mix to gether pot cheese and chopped hickory nuts, add to it a dash of paprika and spread on either white or brown bread. Olives, chopped with nuts, make nice Glling: figs chopped up with nuts are delicious, while cold ash if highly seasoned and dressed with a little ma yonnaise, is appetizing.
