"Seek peace, and pursue it."—rsalm
xxxlv., 14.
These words mean that peace is an object
worthy ot being vigorously sought, even in
deed of being hunted after.
1. There is peace which is the opposite of
worry. The future is always uncertain.
We lay our plans a3 wisely as we may, but
there are innumerable contingencies be
tween them and their realization. We keep
asking ourselves, "Have I omitted any im-
Fortant item from my calculations? Have
put my money in good securities, or in an
enterprise that after all lacks promise? Jls
accident or sickness going to befall me?
Have I made proper provision for my fam
ily or for my own old age?" There are
lines of care upon the faces we meet. Even
though some people are careless and light
hearted, most men know the stern realities
of life, and do not cast off cares easily. Lifo
brings Its worriments, and where there is
worry there cannot be peace.
2. Peace is the opposite of conflict. War
desolates a land. Weary marches, fierce
battles, horrible carnage on the side of the
army and desolation and sorrow in multi
tudes of homes mark its continuance.
Peace means a reunited Nation, business
prosperity, intellectual and social advance
ment, happy homes, rewarded industry—
all those good things which we sum under
the word progress." pas
sions rage in some man's breast, envy
gnaws or avarice shrivels or anger lacer
ates or lust burns. What a contrast to such
« one the real saint, with the Sabbath morn
ing calm upon his brow and peace like a
river In his heart!
3. Peace is the opposite of a disturbed
conscience. It is unfortunately true that
there are a great many men who are not
concerned about their evil doing. It is not
peace which is in such souls, but moral
stagnation. The prettyuniform testimony
ot mankind, on the other hand, is that the
human heart is not at peace. That men
feel themsolves to be somehow out of right
relations to Diety is the thought that un
derlies all religions. The great question
that comes to the front in heathen lands
as well as in Christian is, "How shall a
man be just with God?" Until that ques
tion is satisfactorily answered there is no
peace.
The important, practical question now
Is, How shall peace be secured?
1. As contrasted with worry, the way of
peace is trust. Trust does not imply care
lessness or indifference. In our Lord's
beautiful discourse His warning in regard
to the cares of life is really not "Take no
thought," but rather "Be not anxious."
"Your heavenly Father," He says, "know
oth that ye have need of nil these things."
No one is rightly relieved of care in plan
ning or diligence in tho work of life, but
proper care and reasonablo diligence are
very different from worry.
This lesson of trust is not always easy to
learn, but it can be learned. God is on the
throne of the universe. We do not under
stand His plans, but it Is enough that He
rules. When wo are sure of our pilot we
need not question every time He shifts the
helm. Wo cannot soe the end from the be
ginning, but the Father can. It is to be
understood that losses and failures, great
er or less, will still come into our lives.
But they will not interfere with the peace
which trust in God brings. It is the peace
of tho great ocean deeps, even though the
tempest rages on the surface. Nor is such
peace stolidity; it is not superficial light
ness. It is full and true und it possesses
the soul. It is deep, pervading, endur
ing.
2. As contrasted with conflict, pcaco is
to be gained by conquest. It is the battle
fought through to victory. It was thus
thct our nation gained peace in the War of
the Revolution. How precarious just now
tho condition of Europe, with each nation
armed to tho teeth! It is not a satisfactory
peaco when war may flame out at any mo
ment. Nothing is ever settled until it is
settled right.
In tho conflict of passions in the human
breast peace can bo had only by conquest.
A man must be the victor over himself or
the evils within him will continue in angrv
war. The peaceful possession of truth
comes only through conflict fought to a
finish. We deprecate theological contro
versies, nnd some of them indeed are fool
ish enough. But even theological warfare
is better that a calm which is the quiet of
lieath. When the great fundamental relig
ious contentions have been fought through
to victory permanent and productive peace
will ensue.
3. As contrasted with a disturbed con
science, peace comes through atonement.
There will be pence only when man is at
one with God. The bringing this to pass
is tho atonement—through Jesus Christ.
The salvation which Jesus brings is not in
sin, but from sin. It is a work wrought not
so much for the believer as in the believer.
It is no nrtlflcal process hinging on a legal
action. It is something real and vital. It
is a new life in the believing heart—the life
of God within the man, deep and high and
wide as the divine grace and lasting as
eternity. This is true peace—peaco here
on enrth, and peace swelling In fuller tide
out into the life that lies beyond this.
REV. OLIVEB A. KINOSBCBY,
Tastor of the Presbyterian Church, New
Hartford, N. Y.
THE DEAD WARSHIP.
It7nlnc Disaster Sent to Show Horrors of
War, Dr. Talmage Says.
Dr. T. DeWltt Tnlmage spoke of the
Maine disaster at the First Presbyterian
Church Jn Washington. His subject was
"The Dea<2 Warship," tho discourso being
on tho text James ill., 4—"Behold also tho
ships."
"Tho nation is stunned by the destruc
tion of our war steamer. The heart of the
world is wrung with sympathy for the
wounded and dying, and for the bereft
households. Tho steamship Maine has
gone down and been buried in tho great
cemetery of dead ships. Woe! Woe! Woe!
Let one united and universal prayer go up
in behalf of the broken-hearted fathers and
mothers and wives of those who perished
nmld the awful calamity. And do not for
get the men who are on many seas in naval
6erviee.
Star of hope! beam o'er the billow,
Bless the soul that sighs for tlieo,
Bless the sailor's lonely pillow,
Far, far at sea.
Star of pcaco! When winds are mocking
All his toils, he flics to thee.
Save him from the billows rocking
Far, far at sea.
"Just why this destruction of our war
ship was allowed was at first a mystery;
but I think I understand it now. I believe
the calamity was allowed in order to teach
this nation something of the horror of war,
so that we might keep out of it. Have war,
and instead of 260 men slain, you will liav«
10,000 slain, 20,000 slain, and instead of
260 bereft American homes, 10,000, yen 20 -
000 homos in blackness and darkness. Is
it not appropriate, under these circum
stances, that I show you tho debt this n i
tien owes to our American Navy and
speak of the heroism of some of those who
have trod the decks, and express to those
who may bear, as well as to those who may
read these words, our gratitude md appre
ciation. 'Behold also theship».'
"It this exclamation was appropriate
about eighteen hundred and seventy years
«Ko, when it wus written concem'inir the
GaHlee"| Bhlng T°° kB that Bail e'l Lake
(lamee bow much more appropriate in an
age which has launched from the d rv
docks, for tho purpose of peace, the Lu
cania, of the Cunard Line; the Majestla
of the White Star .Line, and the New York,
of the American Line; and warships like
the Idaho, Shenandoah, Brooklyn, Indiana,
Columbus, Texas; and the scarred veterans
of war-shipping, like the Constitution, or
the Alliance, or the Constitution, that have
swung into navy yards to spend their last
days.
"We will not know what our national
prosperity is worth until we reallzo what
ft has cost. I recnll tho unrecited faot
that the men of the navy in the past and in
the present have run nnd are running now
especial risks. They have not only the
human woaponary to contend with, but the
tides, the fog, the storm. Not like other
ships could they run into a harbor at the
approach of an equinox, or a oyclone, or a
hurricane, because the harbors were hos
tile. A miscalculation of a tide might
leave them on a bar, and a fog might over
throw all the plans of wisest Commodore
or Admiral, and accident might leave them,
not on the land ready for un ambulance,
but at the bottom of the sea. Everywhere
at the mercy of the Atlnntio and Paclfla
Oceans, which have no mercy. Such tem
pests as wrecked the Spanish Armada
might any day sweep upon the squadron.
No hiding behind the earthworks; no dig.
ging in of cavalry spurs at the sound of re
treat. Mightier than nil the fortresses of
all the coasts is the ocean when it bombards
a flotilla.
"In tho cemeteries for Federal and Con
federate doad are the bodies of most of
those who fell on the land. But where
those dead are who went down in war ves
sels will not be known until the sea gives
up its dead. The Jack Tars know that
while loving arms might carry the men
who fnll on tho laud nnd bury them with
solemn liturgy nnd the honors of war, for
the bodies of those who dropped from the
ratlins into the sea, or went down with all
on board under tho stroke of a gunboat,
there remain the shark and the whale and
tho endless tossing of the sea, whioh can
not rest. Nothing but the archangel's
trumpet shall reach their lowly bed. Can
non ball threatening in front, bombs threat
ening from the bluffs, torpedoes threaten
ing from beneath, and the ocenn with its
roputatlon of 6000 years for shlpwreok ly
ing all around. Am I not right in saying
it required a special courage for the navy,
as it requires a speolal courage now?
"It looks picturesque nnd beautiful lo
see a war vessel going out to sen. Sail
ors in new rig singing 'A Life on the
Ocean Wave, a Home on the Roaring
Deep,' the colors gracefully dipping to
passing ships, the decks immaculately
clean, and the guns nt quarantine firing a
parting salute. But all tho poetry has
gone out of that ship as It comes out of
the engagement, its docks red with blood,
wheel house gone, the cabins a pile of
shattered mirrors, and destroyed furni
ture, steering wheel broken, smokestack
crushed, a 100-pound Whitworth rifle shot
having left its mark from port to star
board, the shrouds rent away, ladders
shattered, smoke-blackoned and scalded
corpses lying among those who are gasp
ing their last gasp far uway from hoin>£
and kindred, whom they lovo as much as
we love ours. O, men who once bolonged
to the Western squadron, or tho Eastern
squadron, or the South Atlantic squadron,
or tho North Atlantlo squadron, or the
Mississippi squadron, or the Pacific
squadron, or the West India squadron,
hear our thanks! Take the benediction
of our churches. Accept the hospitali
ties of the nation. If we had our way wo
would give you not only a pension, but a
home, and a princely wardrobe, and an
equipage, and a banquet while you live,
and after your departure a catafalque and
u mausoleum of sculptured marble, with a
model of tho ship in which you won the
day.
"It is considered a gallant thing when in
the naval light the flagship, with Its blue
ensign, goes ahead up a river or into a bay,
its Admiral standing in the shrouds watch
ing and giving orders; but I have to tell
you., 0 veterans of the American Nnvv, if
you are as loyal to Christ as you are to tho
Government, thero is a flagship sailing
ahead of you of which Christ is the Admiral,
and He watchos from the shrouds, and tho
heavens are the blue ensign, nnd He leads
you toward the harbor, and all the broad
sides of earth and hell cannot damage you,
and ye whose garments were once red with
pain and blood shall have a robe washed
and made white in the blood of the Lamb.
Then strike eight bellsl High noon in
heaven! With such anticipation, O veterans
ef the American Navy, I cheer you to bear
up under the aches and weaknesses that
you still carry from tho war times. You ar«
not as stalwart as you would have been but
for that nervo of strain and for that ter
rific exposure. Let every ache and pain,
Instead of depressing, remind you of your
fidelity.
But God navor forgets. Ho remembers
tUo swinging hammock; Ho remembers the
forecastle; He remembers the frozen ropes
of January tempest; Ho remembers the am
putation without sufficient anajsthet'es;
He remembers the horrors of that deafen
ing nigl< when forts from both sides
belched on you their fury and tho heavens
glowed with tho ascending nnd descending
missiles of death and your ship quaked un
der the recoil of the 100-pouuder while all
the gunners, according to command, stood
on tiptoe, with mouth wide open, lest the
concussion of the ship shatter heuring or
brain. He remembers it all better than
you remember it, and in some shape reward
will be given. God is tho best ot all pay
masters, and for those who do their whole
duty to Him t'le pension awarded is an
everlasting heaven.
"But will it not be grand when all these
scenes of earthly struggle are forever
gone? I went down to the seashore very
early ono morning to see tho sun rlso over
the sea. The night had not yet gathered
up all Its shadows. Four or flvo sails
against the sky seemed like tho spirits of
the night walking the billows. The gloom
of the hour and spot was so groat I tried to
break it by saying aloud: "Thy will, O
God, is in tho sea, and Thy path is in the
great waters.' It grew lighter. The
clouds wore hanging in purple clusters
along the sky, and as if those purple clus
ters were pressed into red wine and poured
out upon the sea, every wave turned into
crimson. Yonder fire-wave stood opposite
flro-wavo, 'and here a cloud, rent und
tinged with light, soemed like a palace,
with flames bursting from the windows.
The whole scene lighted up until it seemed
as if the angels of God were ascending and
descending upon stairs of lire, and tho
wave crests, changed Into jasper, and crys
tal, and amethyst, as they wero fiung
toward the beach, made me think of the
crowns of heaven cast before tho throne of
tho Groat Jehovah. I throw myself upon
the sand and uttered it again; 'l'hy way, O
God, is in the sea, and Thy path in the
great waters.' So will como the morning
of the world's deliverance. The darkness
will fold Its tents and away. The golden
feet of tho rising morn will come skipping
upon the mountains, and all tho wrathful
billows of tho world's woe break into the
splendors of eternal joy. Until the day
break and the shadows floe away, 'turn.
My beloved, nnd be thou like u ro- -»r
a 'young hart upon the mountains of
Bather."
And one song employ all nations, and thoy
sing,
Worthy istbe lamb that was slain;
And tho dwellers on the rock shout to
dwellers on the plain,
Til; earth rolls tho rapturous Ilosnnnnh
round.
r.r .ve New Jcriey Women.
Arlington, N. J., has three proud young
women, all of them married, ntad all next
door neighbors. Two of them were visiting
tho third when they saw the wood back of
their houses on lire. Tho danger wus im
minent. Tucking up their skirts they
formed a bucket brigade of three, and
after a heroic strugglo stfbdued the flames
which threatened their houses. They are
proud because tho Arlington Fire Company
has elected them to honorary membership.
I THE REALM 1

Desirable Basque.
The general usefulness and desira
bility of tbe tailor basque are too evi
dent to require urging, says May Man
jton. The model shown, while severe,
LADIES' BASQUE.
as all such designs must be, includes
the single rarer that is the latest inno
vation and makes a feature of early
spring styles. As illustrated, the ma
terial is light weight zibeline in a soft
■castor shade, but cheviot, covert cloth,
poplin and all the new materials are
equally suitable. The backs are
seamed at the centre, and fitted with
curving side backs, which render the
adjustment snug and tend to give a
slender effect, while double under-arm
frores connect them with the fronts.
The latter are fltted'by means of dou
ble-bust darts which are curved to re
duce the apparent size of the waist
I.ADIES' ROUND WAIST.
and the right side laps well over the
left to give the double-breasted effect.
The right-front is also extended to
form the rever which is faced silk
overlaid with passementerie. Below
the rever the closing is effected by
means of buttons and button-holes.
The sleeves are two-seamed and fit
snugly after the latest style and the
neck is finished with the straight
standing collar only. With the basque
is worn one of the early spring hats
that serves to exemplify prevailing
styleß. The rough straw is black aiul
the mousseline do soie, which is ar
ranged in the Spanish comb style with
an edge of fine straw, is in the same
color as is also the satin ribbon which
forms the bows. But the touch of
brillaucy given by f he flowers in Tan
gerine-yellow lif 'tens and brightens
the whole.
To make this basque for a' lady in
the medium size will require two and
one-half yards of forty-four-inch ma
terial.
Comfortable Hound Waist.
The full round waist, according to
May Manton, embodies all the ease
and comfort of the blouse, yet is free
of all pouch, makes one of the many
good things which the season has to
offer. The model shown in the illus
tration is velvet finished cashmere,
with skirt of the same, but is suited
alike to foulard and India silks,challies
and all such materials as take soft,
graceful folds. The foundation is a
fitted lining which includes the usual
pieces and seams and closes at the
centre-front. The seamless back is
drawn down to the waist line, so form
ing a slight fulness above the baud and
is joined to the fronts by under arm
gores. The full fronts are arranged
in gathers at the shoulders and neck,
and again at the waist line. The edge
of the left aide is finished with a
pointed rever of applique edged with
a frill of ribbon, and laps well over on
to the right, so concealing the closing
of the waist proper which is accom
plished by means of hooks and eyes.
The sleeves are two-seamed and fit
snugly to the shoulders, where they
are finished with small puffs .which
support the double oblong epaulettes
that are made to match the rever. The
neck is finished _with a draped high
collar of the material and at the waist|
is a crushed belt of velvet. Frills of'
ribbon edge the pointed wrists.
To make this waist for a lady in the
medium size will require two and one
fourth yards of forty-four-inch ma
terial.
X? Most Popular Colors.
The most popular colors for the com
ing season are the porcelain, hyacinth,
turquoise, cadet and sapphire blues, all
the pretty shades of gray and beige,
Russian and emerald greens, and violet
to be used chiefly for a contrast in
trimming. Yellow in all the tints from
cream to deep orange will be worn,
and also the pretty deep rose pink.
Light fawns, grays, browns and beiges
are especially in favor just now for the
new cloth gowns made for early spring
wear, and so is a blue and gray mix
ture which is useful in all kiuds of
weather.
Velvet to Helen.
Lady Violet Greville, whose tips on
the fashions are always accepted as
gospel, writes from Paris saying that
velvet will reign supreme in the fash
ionable world. She says. "Velvet in
every style, shape and color, black,
cornflower blue, sapphire, silver, gray
shot with gold, and a host of other
startling shades" will lead in the world
of fashion.
Ladles* House Gown.
Among all the tempting materials
which the spring display has brought
forth, there is nothing shown in
greater variety nor more lovely col
ors than the challies which make such
ideal gowns for home wear. The
tasteful model shown is in gray with
figures in cream-white, made with a
trimming of lane-edged frills, but
combinations without number can be
devised and such materials as cash-
mere or foulard substituted, if pre
ferred.
The hacks are snugly fitted to the
figure by means of a centre seam and
curving back seams, and the fronts by
means of double bust and under-arm
darts. The full front and back, which
give the Watteau effect, although
they are gathered in place of plaited,
are adjusted at yoke depth where a
frill of the material, lace-edged, gives
a berthn effect. The portion below
the waist-line gradually increases iu
fulness to form the skirt, the edge of
which is finished with a single frill.
The sleeves are two-seamed and snug
fitting, including only slight fullness
at the shoulders. At the wrists are
frills of lace which fall over the hands,
and at the neck is a simple turn-over
collar.

Duel! Common ill Kurope.
While the code duello, in its san
guinary character, is rapidly becom
ing obsolete in tlie United States, it
appears to bo still in high favor on the
other side of the Atlantic. In Ger
many some 4000 engagements are
yearly fought on the field of honor
with sanguinary results. Most of
these engagements take place in the
neighborhood of college towns. With
in thejjspace of twenty-four hours as
many as twenty duels have occurred
in the neighborhood of Jena.
Next to Germany in allegiance to
the code duello comes France. There
are some 1200 duels fought annually
in France, the participants being
mainly officers in the French army.
Italy comes next to France, with some
275 duels annually. During the past
ten years Italy has furnished 2759
duels. Austria, Russia. Spain and
Great Britain rank next in the order
named. In Great Britain the code
has become almost as obsolete as in
the United States. Most of the duels
fought on the European continent are
fought with the sword, though pistols
ami knives are used occasionally.—

83, G." Though the inscription in
the ring only shows it to be 144 years

his possession which show that- the
ring was owned first by Sir Edmund
Waller, the English poet, who was a
royalist in England when Cromwell
assumed the protectorate and was
compelled to flee for his life, being an
adherent of Charles 1., who placed
the ring on his finger, from which
three other rings were made, and of

STORIES OF RELIEF.
Two Letters to Mrs. Plnkham/
Mrs. JOHN WILLIAMS, Englishtown,,
N. J., writes:
" DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: —I cannot be
gin to tell you how I suffered before
taking your remedies. I was so weak
that I could hardly walk across the floor
without falling. I had womb trouble
and such a bearing-down feeling ; also
suffered with my back and limbs, pain'
in womb, inflammation of the bladder,
piles and indigestion. Before I had
taken one bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound I felt a great deal
better, and after taking two and one
half bottles and half a box of your
Liver Pills I was cured. If more would
take your medicine they would not
have to suffer so much."
Mrs. JOSEPH PKTEKSON, 513 East St.,J
Warren, Pa., writes:
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I have sur-i
fered with womb trouble over fifteen
years. I had inflammution, enlarge
ment and displacement of the womb.
I had the backache constantly, also
headache, and was so dizzy. I had
heart trouble, it seemed as though my
heart was in my throat at times chok
ing me. I could not walk around and
I could not lie down, for then my heart
would beat so fast I would feel as
though I was smothering. I had to
sit up in bed nights in order to breathe.
I was so weak I conld not do any
thing.
'• I have now taken several oot
tles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetablo
Compound, and used three pack
ages of Sanative Wash, and can say
I am perfectly cured. Ido not think
1 could have lived long if Mrs. Pink
ham's medicine had not helped me."
