The woman with a longing to be thought picturesque and with an eye for color has a hard time in these days steering her way through the many pitfalls that surround her, and it in truth requires an immense amount of concentration of purpose not to be led astray by the picturesque fashions that in the illustrations look so much more attractive than they do on the indi- vidual. One rule should always be followed, that no style should be chosen that is markedly unbecoming. 1t is far better to dress according to the style of last year, provided that style was becoming, than to run the risk of veing made a perfect fright by following too closely the exaguer- ated fashions of this summer.—Har- per’s Bazar. COLONIAL KNOCKER THE FAD. It is now considered the proper thing, among other colonial revivals, to have a knocker placed on every bed cham- ber in the house. The ‘knocker fad, started by the an- tigue “dealers, was taken up by the rich classes several years ago, who in- troduced brass knockers of colonial pattern upon their gates and doors. Houses of the ante-revolutionary days are the more picturesque by rea- son of their quaint escutcheons, door knobs and knockers, but they are closely rivaled by the modern house of colonial architecture, fitted with real antique fixtures. The latest phase of the fad is a knocker for each bedroom. The maid who awakens your guest in the morning does so, not by tapping or calling, but by giving two or three gentle raps with the knocker. The idea is rather a clever one.—Indianap- oiis News. BEAUTY’'S GREATEST ORNAMENT Beauty's greatest ornament is the hair at the back of the neck, if the pretty woman only understands how to utilize the locks. Very few artists are bold enough or daring enough to paint the female neck bare of curls, and there is hardly a famous ideal head in the picture galleries with the ears exposed. No matter how pretty and pink the tips of the feminine ears may be, the artistic eye loves to clothe them in soft ringlets, and no matter how grace- ful or swanlike may be the back of the neck it is much more artistic to dress it in small curls. If the hair does not grow prettily at the back-.of the neck try to train the locks down so that they will curl. If this cannot be done, then use a few artificial curls. Maybe the hair grows so wickedly at the back of the neck that the artificial curls cannot be used with good results, and in this case there is nothing to do but to dress the hair ‘low. The woman who wants to please will surely not neglect to make a study of her hair dressing.— New Haven Register. PRETTY HOME MADE NECKLACE The woman who wants a collar, and who cannot obtain: either a diamond one or a collar of pearls, can take heart, for there is an exceedingly pretty makeshift for her. She can wear a band of velvet around her throat, and upon this band of velvet she can wear strings of yellow stones— Leads, really they might be called— except that they are of irregular size and shape, and so look very much richer than strings of beads commonly look. The making of these necklaces is a fine art. It requires strings and strings of fine elastic, of just the length to en- circle the throat. strung with their burden of odd stones, the whole must be mounted apon a clasp which is set at the back of the neck. These semi-precious necklaces sell for big prices in the store, but the woman 2 taste can gather her store and stock f beads and make them for herself. The Ley to the whole is the preserva- tion of color. There should be more yellow than anything else, and ‘Jae faint yeliow tinge should prevail throughout the whole. WHAT "TACT MEANS. The secret of that marvelous influ- ence certain persons possess over both men and women is usually to be found in their tact. And tact means thought- fulness; not an appearance of it, but a real interest, a quick sympathy ex- pressed in the grace of word and deed. We are all influenced by that charm; 'so deeply influenced that it might be wise to consider its equal power upon ‘others. For, although it has its root in unselfishness and can only grow with painstaking care, it may be a matter of cultivation. Those who pro- claim, “I haven’t a particle of tact,” simply acknowledge that {hey are self- absorbed. It need not develop into fussiness., which is tiresome; it should avoid inquisitiveness while it shows re- gard. It should not manifest itself in open flattery, though merited praise should be generously given. in speech tact avoids argument, contention, con- tradiction, unless truth itself is at stake, and then it may be gently ut- tered. Neither does it ruthlessly shat- ter ideals or dispel iHlusions. It re- presses egotism, feeble joking or silly irrelevancy, the flippant, the profane, the coarse, the cynical and the sneer. And, after these are | It does not -parade—while far from efs facing—it’'s owner's personality; it never teases, nor “quizzes,” as the English say, nor, to go from "speech to act, does it ever perpetrate a practical . joke. That involves consideration, and yet more than that.. It means neither soaring above nor sinking below the situation. It has a show of ease, hid- ing fatigue, neglect or watchtulness. In short, a coarse-grained person is hard to teach some of its ways, as the high-strung find it as difficult to dis- play yet other qualities—Harper's Ba- Zar. SLAVE OF THE DRESSMAKERS. What mockery to prate of the equal- ity of the sexes, says a writer in the Atlantic, when one sex possesses the freedom of uniform, and the other is the slave of ever-varying costume! Think of the great portion of a lifetime we women are condemned to spend merely on keeping ourselves in style? Talk of our playing with scholar- ship or politics when we are all our days panting disheveled after scam- pering Dame Fashion, ‘who, all our broken-minded ives; is just a little ahead! Yet dress-reform is the first article in our creed of antipathies, and I, for one, am last of ladies to declare myself a heretic. I am not ungrateful for: the gift of sex and species. Suppose I were a fowl of the air-- what condemnation of hodden gray, and soul unexpressed either by vocal | or personality of plumage! Among things furred or feathered it is the male who dresses and the lady who wears uniform; that it is otherwise with human beings is due, I suppose, to some freakish bit of chivalry on the part of the autocratic Evolution, the ringmaster who puts the entire wens agerie through their tricks. : No, IT would .not be a fowl; not repine; dressing, let me let me at this busines of , pluckily. : THE JAPANESE GEISHA GIRL. Mistaken conclusions regarding the Japanese Geisha are very often drawn by people who do not know. She is not necessarily a peison of corrupted morals, but simply a woman educated to attract from childhood. The study of personal magnetism is hers through life, and although she is invariably a daughter of the lower class, with ugly fingers and homely hands, she could be classed above many modern women who have also made personality a study. The Geisha is extremely clever. Her dancing is one of the things in which she excels. Although our own women have fried to imitate her graceful movements and the fascinating rhythm of the body, it seems to be left entirely to the little dashing Maiko to do it as it should be done. Her position in the beautiful land is one of imports ance and she graduates from her posi- tions very much as our own little ones do from the schools. Her cultivated tongite is the most important of all her accomplishments and a really famous Geisha has been known to keep nobles and even imper- ials in constant attendance upon her by her ready fire give-and-take con- versation. After her time for beauty has passed, she has greater opportunity for becoming even more famous, and many of the little Geishas who, after removing their sumptuous garments | for the less attractive ones of blue and! gray, have married into the Dest so- | ciety and have even been known to mount the throne itself. In this coun- try the actress is very much like the Geisha, and the reputation of the Geisha is viewed more or less the same as the actress.—New Haven Register, FASHION NOTES.

Joseph Dunn Bur- rell, of Brooklyn, N, Y.—The Way to Power Shown by Convincing Argu- ments-—=Christ Our Great Pattern. BROOKLYY, N. Y.—In the Classon Ave nue Presbyterian Church thd pastor, the Rev. Joseph Dunn Burrell, preached Sun. day morning on*“The Value of Obedience.” The text was. from Philippians, ii:8, 9: “He humbled Himself and became obe- dient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him and given Him a name which is above ‘every name.”’s Mr. Burrell said: From- this passage we learn that, through obedience, our Lord Jesus Christ attained His surpassing glory.; He won His exalta- tion not by exploiting His own will, bat by submitting to the will of God. On this point He is representative of hu- manity. or all men _eVerywhere to obey is the way to rule. ‘‘Whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant.” Obedience thus becomes a most essential part of education, whether i in the home or the school. There is something disreputa- ble about the household where the children do not mind, or the lecture hall, where the. instructor has no control. It is a healthy discipline for us to have to submit our wili to another’s. Such is the Biblical concep- tion of home training. Such was the method of Christ's bringing up. Professor Huxley had great influence apon current ideas of education and, p haps, the most eloquent words he ever wrote were those in which he set forth this idea, that the gist of education is to learn how to obey. ‘““That man,” he says, “has had a liberal education; w ho has been so trained in youth that his body is the does with ease and pleasure all the work that, as a mechanism; it is capable of, whose intellect is a clear, cold, logic engine, with all its parts of equal strength, and in smooth working order; ready, like a steam engine, to be turned to any cind of work, and spin the gossamers, as well as forge the anchors of the mind; whose mind is stored with a knowledge of. the great and fundamental truths of nature and of the laws of her op- erations; ore who, no stunted aseetic, 18 full of life and fire, but whose passions are trained tp come to heel by a vigorous will, the servant of a tender conscience: who has learned to 1ove ‘all beauty, whether of nature or of art, to hate all vileness, and to respect others as himself. Such an-one. and no other, I conceive, has had a liberal education, for he is, as completely as a man can be, in harmony with nature. He will make the best of her, and she of him. They will get on together rarely; she as his ever-beneficent “mother; he "as her mouthpiece, her conscious self, her minis- ter and interpreter.” ut it is not enough to learn obedience theoretically in one period of educatjon; | Tean’t place human’ lives in the care oi a we must perpetuate it as a habit all through our years, for it is the only way te success in life. Obedience is not for its own sake, but in order that through it we may come to be our best selves. We accept law as the predetermined condition ‘of life, sur- render ourselves to it. and by yielding win true liberty. Agesilaus of Sparta knew how to govern because he had first learned how to obey. according to the old saying. The present Emperor of Germany and King of Italy, brilliant examples of successful monarchs, were trained with a severity that some of our boys would think cruel. There was once a hard worked employe of the New York street car system; he is now its head. There was once a private soldier who had to submit to all the narrow restrictions of the most subordinate rank in the army; he is now our commander in the Philippines. We take away harmful things from our they may know enough to deprive themselves of them. They are made to take care of their bodies that they may keep the laws of health wien they need it for life’s work. They are given good books to read that they may prefer such when they are free to read what they will. They are shielded from bad associations and thrown into the com- pany of clean, true, honorable boys and girls so that when they are out in the world fighting their own battles they may choose the ‘friendship of the good and shun that of the base. Some parents are afraid to have their children arrive at the age of self control. Yet what is the good of education, “The aim of your discipline,” said Herbert. Spencer, ‘should be to produce a self-gov- governed by others.” It is a joy to have obedient children, but it ought to be a froater joy when they are become true- earted men and women, znd are out in the world carrying on the business of life. Then the object of education is secured and the condition of success is satisfied. On. the other hand, moral failure is due to not having learned how to obey, and so not knowing how to rule. en a girl says to herself, “When IT have a home of my own you will see how" differently I shall do things.” When a-boy i thinks, “Just wait until I am twenty-one | and I will see life for myself;” you may know that the seed ‘of the Dead’ Sea iruit is already sown. A woman whose family were in Sant was given $25 by a friend. Instead of purchas- Ing necessities with this providential pres- ent she used it in having the photographs of the entire household taken. There was an example of one who did not deserve to be grown up. She did not know how to control her own life. She had never learned that the only way to. live worthily is to obey the great principles of duty. She merely followed her whims. I heard this summer of a young man who a year-ago was flying around Long Island in his automobile, dazzling the natives with his reckless expenditure of a newly ae- quired fortune. To-day he is said to be clerking in a store. He did not know how to be rich; he had not learned self-control. Quite rightly he has been set back again in his proper place. scar Wilde was a young scholar of ex- traordinary brilliance. His essay on “The for example, was marvel- ut he mever learned himself, to love the right; on ‘the contrary, by following his own will and seeking pleasure without re- gard to duty he made of himself a social outcast and died a beggar’s death in Paris. It makes no difference what ‘ability, posi- tion or opportunity one has. if he does not know how toobey he is on the road to ruin. Moreover, this condition of obedience is the permanent law of life. Neither in this nor any other world is it abolished. The mother warns her baby not to touch the stove. The little one disobeys and is burned. He grows to be a man. He emerges from his mother’s control. No one advises him now to keep away from the stove. He can put his finger on it if he will. But if he does he will be burned again. r So it is in the moral life. As children we were restricted by others from wrong: doing, and if we persisted in seeking to ac- complish it we suffered. Now we are grown and no one hinders us. Wi e can sin if we choose. But if we do we shall have to bear the consequences now as then. The choice given us is not whether we shall be under God's law or not, but only whether we shall obey them or not, in either case Tegsivi ing the results of our de- “wha cision.

There the heavenly host sing forever, according to Dante's dream, “In His will is our delight.” So forever and forever obedience remains the law of life. William Tyndale, who translated the Bi- ble into English, wrote a book entitled “The Obedience of a Christian Man.” The gist of it is this: That the Bible reveals the way of salvation through Jesus Christ, and also the'way in which a saved man ‘ought to live. Few books have had a wider uence. have gone to the stake carrying a copy of it in his hand. For it appealed to the con- science of man, it showed Christian believ- ers that the salvation of Christ, instead of releasing from moral obligations, is on the contrary, precisely an. enduement of power to perform it. Instead of® abolishing the law Christ’ fulfills it, and if there is any ‘one in the world who fotiht to be the shin- -ing exaniplar of obedience to the will of God, it is the Christian man. Christ Himself is our great Dalton in this regard. . He was an obedient So It was His meat and drink. He said, His Father's’ will. But He is more than our pattern.. He is our Saviour. nd as such -enables us to reproduce the pattern. He presents an ideal and also the dynamic for its realization. This is why there is a place for Him in every heart. This is why we all need Him.

The railway superintendent came down to his office on Monday morning. sat down at his desk and began to open his mail. ‘The first letter was from the wife of a discharged conductor, which said: “I take this opportunity to write while my husband is at church.

The discharged man went out and the superintendent’s stern face relaxed. “I am sorry for that wife and the sick baby,” he said. “but I can’t trust human lives ‘to a.man who gets his religion so late.” The true faith is the faith which makes faithful.

God Speaking to the Soul, Tt has been remarked that “the subject of the first chanter of wenesis is not the creation, but the Creator; w hat it gives us is. not a world, but a God.” Let those who will search the Scriptures for the light thev shed on past concep- tions of science and upon, the history of a unigpe race in the annals of the world. Tet them study their literary development, and seek thus a keener appreciation of the men who wrote them. They cannot fail to be enlightened and interested. 3ut the sincere Christian approaches the Serip- tures with a different interest and purpose. He passes over the historical, the literary and the scientific features of the Bible with small attention to his passionate search for that which the Scriptures are designed to reveal-—mamely, the person, will and work of God, and the nature and relationships of man.

Dun & Co.s “Weekly Review of Trade” says: Progress is slow buf sure in the leading branches of manus facture, contracts being more readi- ly placed for distant delivery, while the percentage of idle machinery steadily decreases. Satisfactory news from leading iron and steel centers tends to strengthen confidence else- where, as the consumption of iron has been found a good barometer of business conditions. Jobbing and wholesale trade in fall and winter wearing appare! expands gradually, and such spring lines as are open- ed meet with fairly satisfactory re- ception, considering the recent indis- position to provide for future require+ ments. At many points the returm of warm weather checked the revival of retail trade in heavy goods, but as that movement had ‘begun much earlier than usual, the net result thus far is better than last year. Building operations have expanded, at some cities establishing a note- worthy record for the month of Sep- tember and the permits recently is- sued promise well for the future. Labor is fairly ‘well employed, ac- cording to the latest official trades vnion reports, although the Fall River struggle has lasted longer than expected. Latest returns of foreign commerce compare very favorably with the corresponding time last year, and railway earnings in the first week of October were 6.9 per cent. larger than in 1903. All di- visions of the iron and steel indus- try are making progress, tardy orders coming forward in greater number, and, while few large contracts are re- corded, the aggregate tonnage is en- courdging. More office buildings and bridges are contemplated for West- ern cities, while the railways seek cars and other equipment with more interest than at any recent date. A big demand for agricultural imple- ments is confidently anticipated. Exports of steel rails prom- ises to be large and much foreign ‘business is being negotiated. Little recovery has occurred as yet in the domestic demand for cotton goods, but prices are firmly maintained. Recent large purchases of hides es- tablished priges in a firm position, but are followed by less activity. Failures this week were 208 in the United States, against 208 last year, and in Canada, 24, compared with 28 a year ago. MARKETS, PITTSBURG. Grain, Flour and Feed. Wheat—No. 2 red. Rye--No. 2.......
