Praises American Nurses. “American nurses were greatly and justly praised by Professor Lo- renz, who declared that never until he crossed the Atlantic had he known what a woman could be in the way of a nurse,” says The Medical Times (New York). “In Austria they are women of little education. Here in America they are ladies. Wever have I been so amazed. They are in aprons and caps, but they are edu- cated, they are refined, they are charming. Never have I seen such a thing—never!”’ ke Colors to Wear. Certainly the blue-eyed woman looks her best in blue, but take a shade trifle bluer and a trifle lighter than the Iris (which is probably in- clined to be gray—one hardly ever sees a genuinely blue eye), and the effect will be charming. Again, the reddish-brown color which goes with auburn hair is an excellent guide to coloring in dress. The deep purple- blue or violet eye is almost too rare to lay down rules about, but the real gray eye, at its handsomest when ringed with black and fringed with black lashes, would go most attrac- tively with the same tone of gray in its owner’s attire. A word of warn- ing to those whose complexions are florid or of a congested red: Avoid all reds, purples and terra-cottas.— New York Mail. Flowers on Hats. Flowers are to be extremely pop- ular as hat trimmings this winter— the larger flowers, and in brilliant colorings, made of silk or velvet. They are used in sprays, in wreaths, or as single flowers tucked in under the brim at the side or back of the hat or under the long plume or the bunch of ostrich tips. It is possible in this way to introduce a touch of color, often more becoming than the all-black of the hat. Sometimes a rose of cloth of gold or silver is in- troduced instead of the pink or crim- son. Then there will be seen there a few large roses massed together, giv- ing the same effect as the bows of ribbon. A most charming color scheme is possible in this style of hat. The material velvet, and the flowers the same color or in black with pink, it is most becoming.— From the Special Autumn Fashion Number of Harper's Bazar. Mourning Fashions. As has been the case for many sea- sons, the plainer a gown or costume, the deeper the mourning it is sup- posed to indicate. Only bias folds of the material are used for trimming the plain coat and skirt costume of Henrietta cloth, which is worn at first with the hat with the long crepe veil. Crepe is the only deep mourn- ing trimming permitted, and that is seen first in house gowns; then comes the entire costume of crepe, coat, and skirt and hat with long veil. When crepe is first used it is in bias folds or facings. Later, in a more elab- orate style of trimming, it is in half- circles, waved bands, and folds, in collars, cuffs, and revers. Henrietta cloth and dull-finished cashmere are the first materials used. Then come new weaves of dull-finish eolienne and crepe de Chine, all of which make up most satisfactorily and wear well.—From the Special Autumn Fashion Number of Har- per’s Bazar. The Iron Maiden. It is not in America alone that there are steel kings and iron barons; nor in the press of this country the only one which heralds their goings and comings with infinite detail. In Germany they have an ‘Iron Maiden,” Fraulein Bertha Xrupp, the richest woman in the empire, who is shortly to be married. Many American heiresses may, a Paris journalist reports, be richer than Bertha Krupp, but no other young woman rules over such a little world or such an army of subjects. Essen seemed to him like a small German State with Bertha Krupp as the prin- cess. Her husband is merely to be the prince consort. She has a body- guard of three thousand men to keep order in her great dominions. She has also her own ministry, consist- ing of the directors of the Krupp Company. The heiress gave the reporter a few minutes, telling him, among other things how, like her father, she wished to live far from the mad- ding crowd, and that she had never said all the stupid things American newspapers have put into her mouth. After her marriage, she explained, the management of the business will still remain in the hands of the board of directors, while she and her hus- band will devote themselves to the welfare works established by the company for the benefit of their army of employes. Toilet Table Hints. Laneline should never be used alone on the face.” When combined with white wax and spermaceti it is a most excellent tissue builder and eradicator of wrinkles. It will not, when so combined, cause a growth of hair on the face. You can make your eyebrows thicker by applying a grower made by combining two ounces of red vas- eline, one-eighth ounce of the tinec- ture of cantharides, fifteen drops of the oil of rosemary and fifteen drops of the oil of lavendar. Glycerin should never be used on the face without combining it with other complexion creams. Used clear it will invariably cause the skin to become yellow and often causes a very vigorous growth of hair. “he following is an excellent re- cipe for shampoo: White castile soap in shavings, one ounce; water, twen- ty-four ounces; potassium carbonate, thirty grains; borax, 120 grains; cologne water, two ounces. Dissolve the soap in the water and add the other ingredients. Rub well into the roots. Rinse thoroughly in several waters. Then dry carefully. Hot milk baths are recommended for eczema on the hands. Let the milk scald, not boil, and apply gen- erously as hot as can be borne, let- ting it dry on. Using a soap that contains a gen- erous proportion of vegetable oil, making a thick lather and rubbing it into the hands well, will keep the hands white and soft where one’s em- ployment is such that frequent wash- ings are required. .

It is nonsense to think that soa and water and a complexion brush will cause a growth.cf »air on the face. Superfluous hair is more likely to grow on a dust-laden, oily skin. Soap, hot water and a complexion brush used every night are necessary to get the face clean. A good cream will -ountcract the drying effects of the soap.—Philadelphia Press. Cleaning Delicate Fabrics. In a season of delicate colors and frail, expensive fabrics, a season which has rarely been equalled in the calendar of fashion, many are ui- able to indulge freely their taste for beautiful clothes owing to the ex- pense of keeping such a wardrobe in condition. The cost of keeping a delicately colored garment clean for a season may easily equal its original price. Yet the mystery of dry clean- ing is not a Masonic rite. It is an open secret that the price of a spot- less garment is constant care and fuller’s earth. Fuller's earth is not expensive, and it will absolutely remove all dust, grease and grime without injuring either color or fabric, however deli- cate. It is equally effective on heavy broadcloth, finest silk or the dainti- est chiffon. To the last, indeed, it is especially adapted. And not only fabrics, but straw hats, silk gloves, feathers, feather boas and parasols may be restored by its use. Do not wait until the dress is so badly soiled as to present a discour- aging prospect, for not only will the task seem hopeless. but the longer a spot remains the more difficult it is to remove. Furthermore, it is scarce- ly any trouble at all to remove one spot, while it is a day's work to clean away a multitude of spots. Before applying the earth, free the article to be cleaned from all loose dust and dirt by careful brushing and shaking, making sure also that it is perfectly dry. Then place the gar- ment upon some hard surface a deal table, or an ironing board, sprinkle the earth generously upon the soiled places, and scrub it with a stiff brush, which must also be perfectly clean and dry. Have different brushes to suit different fabrics. For a garment of heavy wool material use a stiff flesh brush, for chiffon use a soft velvet brush. If a spot prove un- yielding, cover it with a little com- mon laundry starch, mixed to a paste with a few drops of water. Let it remain some minutes, then shake off and treat as before with fuller’s earth. Apropos of starch, its sphere of usefulness is greater than is cémmon- ly known. Sometimes a delicate gar- ment is ruined in construction by a few drops of blood from the seam- stress’s finger. Starch paste will ef- fectively remove all traces of such an accident. The cleaning of straw hats and silk gloves with fuller’s earth is a particular joy. Put on the gloves and proceed by using the earth ex- actly as if it were water and soap- suds. The dirt and dust will sift through the silk upon the hands and arms. Remove the gloves, wash the hands, dry them thorouzhly, and re- peat the process until the gloves are clean. In the case of straw hats use a very stiff brush, and the superiority of fuller’s earth as a cleanser will be established by the fact that it neither yellows the straw nor rots it, as the various chemicals do. Another useful medium for remov- ing grease is French chalk—dress- makers’ French chalk. It comes in little thin slabs, about one and a quarter inches square, six for five cents, and is of a delicate gray color. A student once spilled a canful of machine oil all over a delicate mauve sik waist. She at once scraped four slabs of French chalk to a powder over the waist and let it lie for a few moments. Then placing clean blotting paper upon the waist she pressed it gently with a warm iron. In less than half an hour the waist bore no trace of the accident what- ever.—New York Tribune. ; claimed Him. TH PULPIT. A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY REV. W. HENDERSON. Subject: The Holy Spirit. Brooklyn, N. Y.—Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church on the theme, “The Holy Spirit,” the Rev. I. W. Henderson, pastor, took as his text Jno. 14:16-17.. He said in the course of his sermon: As we read this and the two suc- ceeding chapters of this good news of the Beloved, Disciple, we dbpre- ciate, more and more, the vital, force- ful influence of the Holy Spirit upon the lives of those who love and serve God. It was at the close of the Last Supper that Christ uttered these words. A few hours and the cross Philip had asked, ‘Lord, shew us the Father.” Our text is a portion of Christ's answer. We are told by the commentators that the Holy Spirit, the Comforter is also an advocate, a helper. Liter- ally translated the Greek means: “One who is called to another’s side to aid him.” To our side, an ever present aid through all eternity, the Holy Spirit has been called by Christ. Comforter, advocate, teacher, helper, guide and eternal friend, such is the Holy Spirit of the new dispensation as granted to us by our Heavenly Fa- ther. The position of the Holy Spirit with reference to us is clearly shown by the prepositions used in the verses. “And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comni- forter, that He may abide with you forever, even the spirit of truth, whom the, world cannot receive be- cause it seeth Him not, neither know- eth Him, but ye know Him, for He abideth by you and shall be in you.” With you, by you, in you. With you, “in the fellowship of His everlast- ing presence.”” By you, ‘‘in His per- sonal presence.’”” In you, ‘‘as an abid- ing personal energy.”’- With you, by you, in you, in all the eternal om- nipotence, love and wisdom of the very God Himself. The Holy Spirit is the presence of Almighty God and of His Son Jesus Christ, with you, by you, in you. The pronouns, as the prepositions, are of prime import- ance. He is God, with, by and in man. The Holy Spirit who is in our hearts to-day has been the dynamic in the lives of consecrated men and women since time was. In his jour- ney up from bondage, it was the spir- it of God that sustained Moses. HHz2 is the spirit of which Isaiah wrote: ‘And thine ears shall hear a word be- hind thee saying, This is the way, walk ye in it.”” And again we read in Ezekiel: “And 1 will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments and dothem.’”’ The spirit of Samuel and of Jeremiah is the Spirit of Saul of Tarsus. The same but, oh, how much more full. He brings to us not merely the wealth of asso- ciation that crowds about the na- tional life of the chosen people of God. To us, He comes as a consum- mation and memorial of the power, majesty and all-embracing love of God and of His Son our Saviour, Jesus, the Christ. The Holy Spirit influences and di- rects every good and great movement that emanates from the hearts and souls of Christian men. God work- ing in His Holy Spirit fills the heart of Henry Ward Beecher “ith an over- whelming love for the Southern slave, and the inspired words of that virile Christian speed the breaking of a million shackles. The auction of the slave girl in the pulpit of Ply- mouth Church was God in His Spirit moving Henry Ward Beecher to de- cisive action. The Holy Spirit enters the heart of Florence Nightingale and soldiers on every ruddy field know the touch of a loving hand and the consolation of a sympathizing heart. The Comforter strikes hidden, Inex- haustible springs in the souls of D. IL. Moody, of General Crittenden, of Jerry McAulay, and myriads of out- cast men and fallen women feel the power of the sheltering, upbearing arm of Almighty God. Tennyson hears the voice of God within and to us are given the immortal lines of “In Memoriam” and of ‘‘Crossing the Bar.” The history of the presence of the Christ in the lives of nations lies in the work consummated by His Holy Spirit. All the great reforms, all the great movements that have bettered humanity have had their in- ception in the minds of Spirit-filled men. Who can say but that the hand and the Spirit of God have been with this land, as it was with Israel, in her phenomenal success. To be sure we have made our mistakes. We are a far cry from the Christ ideal. But did we, nationally, revere Him more, did we but let His Holy Spirit dwell deeper and more lastingly in our na- tional heart, He would bless us far beyond our fondest expectations. God is the God of nations. Christ came to take away the sins of the - orld, of nations, as of individuals. The Holy Spirit can fill a nation’s heart if its people will but do God's will. The most vital necessity in the life of the Christian and of the church is the Holy Spirit as He descends, con- stantly freshened and refreshing, from the throne of God. Having ac- cepted Christ and His plan for our redemption, He is the first thing that we must gain. The apostles, men of God and with Christ as they were, could do naught in the work of the evangelization of the world and of lifting mankind to the level of the Christ life until they had received the gift of the Holy Ghost. For in the first chapter of the record of the Acts of the Apostles we read that “the Apostles being assembled to- gether” after the resurrection, our Lord “commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Fa- ther, which, saith He, ye have heard of Me. For John truly baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized of the Holy Ghost not many days hence.” On the day of Pentecost they were all with one accord in one place, and the Holy Spirit descended upon them. You know the story. You know also the glorious assertion: ‘“And the same day there were added unto them about 3000 sculs, and the Lord added to them daily those that were being saved.” The Holy Spirit was neces- sary to the Apostles. To us He is indispensable. We complain of the lack of sincer- ity, of vitality, in the Church. This age is heralded as an age of doubt and of disbelief. The Church stands almost still. Her flags flap limply in a breeze of progress that holds straight out the ensigns of the min- ions of Satan. Sin confronts us on every hand and we make but insuf- ficient headway against it. We regret that the Church does not enjoy a revival of the blessings of God upon her. We mourn that for one soul born into the Kingdom of God a more than equal number are seized in the snares of Satan. We pray for the upliftment of the world and we see the world slip from us. Something is wrong. God was with the early Church. God is with the missionary in the farthest East. Thousands are being brought to Christ in India. Within our midst the multitudes of the unchurched and the unsaved appall us. Glance over the records of the apostolic church. Read the story of her growth. Is there not something wrong with us? What is the matter? Let us see. It is not that we have not the money to prosecute our work. We have more than at any time since our be- ginning. It is not that we have not numbers or able leaders or that Christ has proven false. The fault lies with us. The Church of Jesus Christ is not alive to the possibilities of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The Church needs Christ in her heart. The fault lies not with God. It lies with us. We, it is, who have been content with but a portion of His grace when He would have given to us all, We, it is, who have been con- tent to drift and almost to drown, rather than to lay hold upon the eter- nal saving power of the Holy Spirit. Let the Church awake from her lethargy; let her unite under the ban- ner of the cross and follow true; let her live the life that she never wear- ies to preach; let her show to the world that the Christ life is practical life written jarge; let her appropriate to herself the Holy Spirit with His uplift toward Christ and the Father; and then will come a return of the miracles of the early Church, of which it iswritten, ‘and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.” The essential requirement of th: Christian life is not to be able vo de- cide definitely the date cof the Flood, or to be able to assert the exact au- thorship of the books of the Penta- teuch, or to be able, more or less intelligently, to quibble over the pin points of ecclesiastical dogmatism. Be not deceived, to know the Bible word for word is not to be a Chris- tian. Spirituality is the great sine qua non cf the Christ life. That we may be able to purify ourselves and to lift others up to the Christ we need the Holy Spirit ‘‘good measure, pressed down, shaken together, run- ning over in our hearts.” Ere we can experience the depth, the power and the world-wide inclusiveness of God's love, we must be reborn of God's indwelling Spirit. Open the doors of your heart and let the blesscd sunshine of God's il- luminating Spirit glow in upon you. With you, by you, in you, let the Comforter abide. In sorrow He will sustain you. In care He wiil comfort vou. He will strengthen you in life. He will rob death of its sting. “Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many man- sions. I will not leave you orphans. But I will pray the Father and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever.” A Lesson From the Butterfly. A naturalist one day was studying a cocoon, in which a butterfly was struggling to be free. He heard it beating against the sides of its little prison, and his heart went out in pity for the helpless creature. Takiug a tiny lancet he cut away the fragile walls and released the lit- tle captive. But to his amazement it was not the beautiful creature that he had expected to see. It lay strug- gling upon the table, unable to walk, unable to fly, a helpless, unlovely ob- ject. In place of the gorgeously col- ored wings that he had expected to see, were weak, shriveled members. ‘What was the matter with this creature that should have been so fair? The prison gates had been opened too soon, the obstacle had been removed before the struggler had developed sufficiently through struggling to be ready for its glorious flight into the sunshiny skies and among the perfumed flowers. O God, when the walls seem to close about us, when we struggle and agonize to be free, when Thou dost not cut away the barriers, is it not because, in Thine infinite wisdom, Thou dost see that we are weak and dost want us to become strong? Then at last, when the struggle is finished, like the but- terfly, we may come forth, not per- haps, in glorious robes of splendid colors as it is, but in the everlasting robes of righteousness.—Christian Observer. A Man Worth Knowing. I should like to know a man who just minded his duty and troubled himself aboyt nothing; who did his own work and did not interfere with God's. How nobly he would work— working not for reward, but because it was the will of God! How happily he would receive his food and cloth- ing, receiving them as the gifts of God! What peace would be his! What a sober gayety! How hearty and infectious his laughter. What a friend he would be! How sweet his sympathy! And his mind would be so clear he would understand every- thing. His eye being single, his whole body would be full of light. No fear of his ever doing a mean thing. He would lie in a ditch rather. It is the fear of want that makes men do mean things.—George Macdonald. What We Should Never Forget. Let ug never forget that what we are is more important than what we do; and that all fruit borne when not abiding in Christ must be fruit of the flesh, and not of the Spirit.—J. Hud- son Taylor. Walking in‘faith is walking in the light of His face. THINKING TOO MUCH. Danger of Overexertion of the Brain Pointed Out by a Specialist. “The brain is man’s most faithful friend and would be man’s best com- panion if he understood it better,” said a prominent specialist. ‘I use the word brain to compre- hend what we term the mind and the process of thinking, and net as a physical object or a medium which directs our actions or through which we, or the animate spirit, directs us, just as theorists please to take it— we will not look upon it as a thing with which we may hold communion and proceed upon that hypothesis. “On the stage the prize idiot in the cast, usually a young nobleman or a dude, always raises a laugh when with a vacant stare and set features he speaks his lines about the effort of thinking and the wearying effect such mental process produces upon his physical being. He usually speaks a greater truth than either he or the audience takes in, for thinking is an effort, be the thought in itself ever so frothy and ephermeral, and could we lessen the process of thought at will, as an engineer applies the alr brakes to his train, much of the trou- ble and disease in life would vanish like the meadow vapor before the rays of the rising sun. ‘It is this impossible process en- tirely to still What is called the think- ing process which is one of the most interesting studies of the specialist, for it is, plainly speaking, the inabil- ity of the individual to eliminate cer- tain thoughts, or a certain thought, from the brain cells, or to still it into inactivity, which fills the insane asy- lums, produces nervous wrecks in other individuals and causes trouble, confusion and chaos all around in everyday life. “Persons to whom this fact ap- peals should endeavor to take their own brain into communion with their own selves; to set it up as another person, with whom they may hold converse, and the objective and sub- jective mind admits of this through conscious action, and in some happy and fortunate individuals through unconscious action. “A little practice will make this possible to the student, though his progress will be by degrees and not in one jump. He should first under- stand that thinking is largely a mat- ter of habit; that the brain is one of the most willing organs in his body at his comand, and, honest and faith- ful as it is to him, will respond to his calls upon it. give it as much needed rest as pos- sible by the process of sleep, and during waking hours by not calling upon it for thought except when nec- essary. The average person will put in a tremendous amount of unneces- sary thought effort upon the sim- plest everyday matter of life. “Again, he will allow his objective mind to cling to one or several thoughts with persistent tenacity. In this event he wears out particular cells of his best friend, and where this habit is maintained he often be- comes a nuisance to his friends and family by developing into what is termed a ‘crank;’ and at times he exhausts these same cells in this man- ner and lands in the asylum. “Most people use their brains too much, either in utter idle waste or in overconcetrated work, and when their best friend begins to show a mild resentment by showing signs of fatigue they ply it with stimulants which science or the distillery have placed at their disposal. Even under these mean circumstances the brain, disgusted though it is with such shab- by treatment, goes on doing the best it can for its owner until temporary insensibility, insanity or death en- sues. ‘It will be found that co-operation with the brain in the process of still- ing thought is not as difficult as would be supposed, for the brain will remain quiescent if you will only per- mit, and become strengthened there- by, just as it will respond to the lim- it of exhaustion when called upon. This theory is very easily evolved into successful practice, and I com- mend it to men of active minds, es- pecially professional men, for it will be found to lessen nervous tension, soothe the temper, promote the ap- petite and produce good nature in otherwise nervous, touchy and dis- agreeable people.” — Washington Star. Her *“Secont” Name. A bank officer, who has many amusing stories at his tongue's end, tells of a stolid German woman who went into the bank one morning to deposit a fat roll of bills and open an account. She was asked to sign her name in the book reserved for the signatures of depositors, and began to do so with many twistings of her face and pauses after the painful completion of each letter. Suddenly she stopped, and after a period of dismayed reflection, looked appealingly at the benevolent young man on the other side of the broad writing shelf. “I haf Katrina done,” she said, pointing to her work with the pen; “but my secont name, I don’t p’lieve I can write him.

Butler, Who Had Three Wives, Also Sentenced to Pay Fine of $1,000. Charles A. Butler, the former Monongahela railroad patrolman, who pleaded guilty to having three wives, was sentenced at Uniontown to six years in the penitentiary and $1,000 fine. He received two years and $1,— 00 fine for bigamy and four years for perjury, and was forever disqualified from giving testimony. Butler first married Celia S. Duerr, of Sarvers- ville, Fayette county. Then he went South and while there married Flora M. Raniey, of Pensacola, Fla. Butler induced his second wife’s mother to move from the South to Allegheny, Pa. "They had scarcely settled in Allegheny when Butler left wife No. 2. In September of this year he mar- ried Pearl West, of Millsboro. At East Sandy, four miles south of Franklin, Mrs. Hattie Lowry, it is alleged, was taken from her home in broad daylight by four women, in- cluding a sister-in-law. Her hands were tied and her face smeared with stove polish. Being unable to get any tar the woman’s captors poured molasses on her head and afterward applied a coat of feathers. Then they led her through a neighboring railroad camp, the spectacle causing a complete suspension of work. The woman was finally tied to a box, where she remained until a man re- leased her. Mrs. Lowry came to Franklin and secured warrants for the four women, all of whom are married. ‘When arraigned they pleaded guilty and were fined $60 and costs. Thomas Pavitt, an aged farmer, was arrested and held without bail charged with the murder of his wife on September 13 last. Pavitt was arrested at the instance of District Attorney McDade, who claimed to have evidence which will substanti- ate the guilt of the old man. Mrs. Pavitt’s body was found in the home of the aged couple in Marple town- ship, near Media, by.the husband on his return from market. Suspicion pointed toward Pavitt, but until now sufficient proof had not been obtain- ed to warrant his arrest. Pavitt in- dignantly denies that he knows any- thing about the murder of his wife.
