The “dream of my life is vealizod”—
I am in Paris! I have been here three

“The Blue and the Gray.”
{Chicago Times]
Recently two Methodist ministers,
one of Maine the other of Virginia,
at a conference of |
their church, and, after forming a
friendship, discovered that during the
late civil war they had fought against
ench other in every battle in which
either had been engaged. Young men
they were then, hardly out of their
teens, and how little did they suspect
that oach was aiming his bullet at
a heart destined to be dear to
his own! Visita followed, and
these ministers each found that his
experience on one side during the war,
when joined with that of his friend on
the other, gained a significance and ine
terest it Lind not before; each possessed
neously arose in their minds the desire
that this whole story should be told.
The result is that there has been pre-
pared » book, which will soon be pub-
ished, entitled “The Ilae and the Gray,”
its chapters written alternately by the
Rev. Mr. Garrish, of Bangor, Me., and

A whitefish-liver supper is the latest
thing to tempt the appetites of Michi-
gan epicares. The liver are fried like
oysters, and when washed down with
old wine or champagne are said to be
most exellent. Another way is to boil
and mince them, and when cold serve
with salt, pepper and sharp vinegar.
Whitefish gizzards nicely dressed and
fried in butter are said to make an ex«
cellent dish, much sought after by those
who know what to eat and how to

A S105.000 Dress.
[Cor. Boston Herald.)
The most noticeable feature of a re
pent evening at Saratoga was the mag-
nificente of the costumes of the ladies.
Perhaps the most costly of these was
worn ly Mrs. Moore, the wife of a Phil-
adelphia millionaire. One who pro
fossed to have accurate itNormation on
the subject told me that she wore laces
and siks which cost $50,000, and also
diamosds that were valued at $75,000.
This makes $100,000 for one evening
outfit. Whatever the cost, the toilet
was certainly superb, zad 1 doubt if
anything more expensive or elaborate

The Right Sort of Education.
(Boston Herald. |
11 labor is to be rightly honored, if
skilled labor is still to be possible, if
of industry is to be maintained, the pub-
lic schools must be industrial, side by
gide, with intellectual edneation. The
intellectual may come first or second, it
matters little which, but it must have
its proper complement. The young
men brought up on farms and educated
in practical industries have again and
again outstripped those who had only
the book-trained brain: and the work of
the kindergartens in teaching children,
especially young children, the use of the
hand, has been recognized as one of the
great factors in education. Depending
as wo do upon the public schools for
nearly everythi hat shapes the lives
of our youth, too much attention can not
be given to their education in these
practical ways.

great revenues which the Established
church from its gin palaces,
beer houses and even more disreputable
establislnnents, Of course, the digni-
taries of the Episcopal chareh did not
originally invest in this kind of prop-

for long terms of years, the houses were

recent investigation shows, however,
that a very large portion of the revenue
