Y, * Jere The Popular Tailor Gown. As has been said many times, some of the more fashionable tailors are kept busy all the vear round by their clientele of fashionable customers in making regular tailor-made costumes of cheviot and tweed, made always on _ the regulaticn model of plain skirt and coat, the latter medium in length, the skirt always short. No trimming is used on these costumes, and they are always smart. The fashions in the coats vary from the medium-length fitted coat to the Norfolk or Eton jacket. At the moment the Norfolk jacket iz the favorite model. For morning wear these are always in de- mand and are always safe invest- ments.—From the Special Autumn Number of $1urpers Bazaar. Dress of Chinese Girl Students. Chinese girl students are no longer to be allowed to dress as they please. So the Board of Education has de- creed. Such an announcement sug- gests an opening in China for a ra- tional dress league. Little “lillies” ac- customed to loose “pants,” long jacket and wabbly shoes are now, by order of that august body, the Board of Education, to don a “physical exer- cise” costume, after which they will appear in the class-room in suitable attire for ordinary school wear. The new rule may raise a smile, but along with the anti-foot binding crusade, which now receives official support, it points to the dawn. of a new era for the benighted women of Cathay. Tall Queens. have a mysterious tendency to get married to wives taller than themselves. Cassell’s Saturday Jour- nal assures us that ‘there is hardly a king in Christendom whose consort does not overtop him by a head” King Edward is quite six inches short- er than Queen Alexandra. The Czar is overtopped a full head by his conscrt. Kaiser Wilhelm is of the medium height, but his Empress is much taller and that is, they say, the reason why the proud Kaiser will never consent to be photographed be- side his wife unless she sits while he stands. ’ The King of Italy, short and thick- set, hardly comes up to the shoulder of the tall,: athletic Queen Helena. The King of Portugal, though stoufer, is less tall than his Queen. Even the Prince of Wales is shorter a good four inches ‘than the Princess. The young King of Spain is much shorter than his new bride. The Queen of Denmark to Yers above her royal spouse, and is on? of the tallest Queens in Europe.— T.ondon News. Kings Boxing the Ears. A reprehensible practice not un- knotta to cross and worried mothers is: th! ready punishment of boxing children’s ears, all ignorant of the danger of such a habit. There are several obvious things fraught with dapger to the ear, such as picking with a pin; tut peoplé: don’t think—mnot having the matter explained—why a blow on the side of the head is such a bad thing. The reason why chil- dren’s ears should not be boxed is that the passage of the ear is closed by a thin kembrane especially adapted s0 that if is influenced by every im- pulse of alr, and with nothing but the air to support it® internally. What, then, can be more likely to injure this membrane than a sudden and forcible compression of the air in front of it? If any one dsigned to overstretch or break the membrane he could scarcely devise a more efficient means than bringing the hand suddenly down up- on the passage of the ear, thus driving the air violentiy before it with no pos- sibility for its (scape but by the mem- brane giving way. Many children are made deaf in this way.—Woman'’s Lif. Autumn Hats. From present ‘ndications it would seem as though 1iYe hats for the au- tumn were to be generally becoming. There are scme most eccentric shapes to be noted, but these are in the mi- nority, and the others are very charm- ing—simple, . soft lines, trimmingd gracefully disposed and apparently some idea of having the hat suited to the individual wearer. Both colered and black hats are to be in style to match costumes are still the rule; the all-black hat, that most useful head- gear, is to be omnipi ®sent, in both small and large shape... Rough and smooth feit and beaver hats will be in fashion, but velvet hats for all more formal occasions will undoubtedly be in great demand. The beaver cloth of sof lest texture, such as lends itself readily’ to the soft draped toques and turbans, and is to be had in all shades, is to be extreme- ly smart, and most popular trimmed with velvet cor silk, flowers ar feath- ers. Ostrich tips and cock ¥ plumes are the only feathers permil fed. The wearing of aigrettes, always so effec. tive, is considered such an act of bare barism that few women are willing STi to acknowledge themselves so hard- hearted as to do it, and consequently the fashion is most unpopular.—From the Special Autumn Fashion Number of Harper's Bazar. The Dominant American Woman. In America a spirit that may be called cosmopolitan, in contrast with that which exhausts itself within the four walls of home, animates the well nourished, successful class. House- keeping must become a matter of wards and precincts if it is to satisfy the craving for motion. The dominant woman is athletic, and seeks pres- tige in following sports like automobil- ing, golf, riding and walking; often she indulges in the half sentimental pleasures *of handicrafts that belong to mediseval Italy or aboriginal Mex- ico and 'the practice of a mild aesthe: tics that relieves idle muscles. These woman are highly co-ordinated, with a developed sense of beauty and an ability to perform fine and varied but not heavy tasks. Industry, with to- day’s rude surroundings opens no ave- nue to the exercise of their delicate and nervous powers; nor could the factory process reawaken “their pow- erful motives or redirect their primi- tive zest of life, now obscured by the sudden phenomena of leisure. Their new vehicles for ancient energies will be found in philanthropy, politics, municipal government, child saving— in that social work for the furtherance of which these women are so rapidly multiplying associations and clubs.— Professor Patten in the Independent. The Toilet Pumice Stone. A toilet specialist savs, regard- ing the removal of superfluous hair: “I do not hesitate to say that no de- pilatory is known that will remove superfluous hair, never to return, short of burning the skin deeply. and then there is an indelible scar. The pastes that are sometimes recommended for the removal of the troublesome down are more or less dangerous, because they must be used hot, generally, and in pulling off the hair, the skin fre- quently comes with it. And yotion strong enough to take off hair will hurt the skin beyond doubt. The needle, to which so many resort, may, or it may not, remove the hair; it is always a painful! and extremely ex- pensive process. “The little mineral stone referred to as a toilet pumice is so easily used; costs almost nothing; can not possibly hurt the skin in any way, and has been found efficacioussby so many that I wonder why the majority of women will not take the trouble to use it. ‘Pumice powder’ is not the thing. The pumice should be in a lump, not too large, not in the least coarse, not eas- ily scratched, and very easily applied. Some are very much coarser than others, and these may be used to re- moved callosities from the hands and feet. A suitable stone can be had of any first class druggist for five cents, to one dollar, according to the mount- ing. The piece of stone should not cost more than ten cents.” ; Fashion NUotes. Most of the coats have three-quarter sleeves. Many skirts are plaited in groups, the plaits being stitched flat well be- low the hips. long sleeves characterize Peter Pan waists for fall which are made in flannel, silk and serge. No house gowns of any kind as yet have long steeves, but many of them have three-quarter sleeves. A gun metal buckle is the only de- viation from pure white that one girl wili accept upon her morning cos- tumes. ; Soutache braids are used to trim children’s, frocks. too, but they are applied less elaborately than on the frocks and gowns of elder people Among the brooches there are nu- merous button shapes. A new cne is of mother-of-pear! rimmed with gold and centred by a single turquoise. Some of the autumobile rubber coats for protection in sudden storms have a most attractive sheen, and well deserve their name “satin rubber.” Velvet collars and cuffs, y and stitched strappings, with an oc- casional buckle, are the principal deco- rations used in separate tailored coats. Wreath brooches of tiny gems or tinted enabel are dainty. For fasten- ing laces there are the little flower basket broothes set with the tinest stones.

Brooklyn, N. Y.—Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church on the theme, “Personal Experience,” the Rev. I. W. Henderson, pastor, took as his text Jno. 4:42: “Now we believe, not because of thy saying; for we have heard Him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.” He said: The final proof of the value of the Gospel to the individual lies in per- sonal experience. The one test which, above all others, warrants a man to hail Jesus or to deny Him, is that of real knowledge directly acquired. No man is fit to flaunt Christianity as a farce who has not first observed the rules incidental to the living of the Christ life. He is the best advo- cate of the beauties of the Christian economy who has been loyal to his Lord’s commands. The consensus of Christians is the L result of a common experience. We, as citizens of the kingdom of God, hold fast and together certain for- mulas of faith because we have, each for himself, as individuals, found valuable for us those working prin- ciples that we maintain. The church universal represents, in its funda- mental dogmas, the opinions of myr- iad men who have, through the pro- cess of individual experience, reached a common ground of belief. The church catholic is divided upon sec- ondary tenets agecording to the vari- eties of secondary Christian religious experience among men who assert al- legiance to the central truths. In the broad sense, all of us who believe in and serve Christ, are Christians be- cause we each recognize as a per- sonal experience the truths which Christianity asserts to be fundamen- tal. I am a Presbyterian and you are a Methodist, not because our views are different at the vitals, but because our secondary experiences are unlike. The Christian Church is an aggregation of men who see Jesus with the same eye and who find in Him and in His power in their lives bonds which link them fast. And any sect or denomination of Christians is but the congregation of some of the followers of Christ around a secondary tenet that is alive with their own peculiar doctrine, the result of an individual experience. At the bottom: of it all the moving principle is personal experience. No man is a good Christian who has not had contact with Christ. No man can appreciate the genius of Presby- terianism save he who has had the experience common to all who hold that creed. It is a wise thing for a man who honestly differs from his a Christian who earnestly and reason- ably disagrees with his fellow fol- lowers of Christ; to examine his con- clusion—that is to say, his creed, his dogma, his tenets, as you will—and determine whether or no they mirror correctly his personal experiences. But merely because a man finds him- self at variance with the world of men about him is no sign that he has misinterpreted his experiences or is wrong. I'he prophets were perse- cuted not because they were wrong, but because they -framed from the facts at hand conclusions that the Hebrews did not care to admit as ten- able. Galileo got into trouble be- cause Ptolemaists thought him crazy. The world was called flat until a dauntless soul declared it round. Luther would never have nailed the ninety-five theses to the door of the church at Wittenberg had he not been true to the truth as he saw it. And these men were, as are many men to-day. dead wrong in their be- liefs as measured by the standards of the past. The results attained in all depart- ments of knowledge are the outcome of the' personal experience of indi- viduals. A scientific law may be the declaration by a single man of truth proven out of the records of his per- sonal experience, unaided and un- verified by the experience of any other man—not infrequently at first it is. But this much is sure: that any law that has the assent of any society is based entirely upon the experiences of individual men who have perceived and been influenced by similar phenomena in their sep- arate lives. . All the knowledge that we have and all the laws that we accept at second hand are, at bottom, founded upon the research and personal inves- tigation and experience of some sgin- gle man or some set of men. To say that we accept many truths at second hand in no way injures our argument. All that we receive upon the asser- tions of other men is so taken be- cause we have faith in the validity of their conclusions as being the di- rect result of their personal experi- ences. Repetition is ‘never so’ in- spiring or convincing as is the dictum of the first source. And the only value that re-statement has is gained from the personal knowledge out of which it springs. By virtue of the multiplicity of the demands on our time we have to rest much of re- ceived truth upon the decisions of other men; but, in the providence of God, we may prove accepted truth if we will in the investigation and the delineation of our own personal ex- periences. No man, however, is entitled to af- firm or to deny the value of a de- clared truth unless’ he has either met to the full the requirements of each condition or accepted the opinion of some original investigator who has fulfilled all incidental demands. How silly it would be for a man, untutored up his opinion, without deep and searching investigation, against the declarations of a Darwin, a Tyndall or a Wallace. And on the other hand how unmanly it would be for a convinced student, who has, after arduous and painstaking effort, reached conclusions at variance with all the theory of all his masters be- fore him, to flinch to state and to TT IUAH Ti — amc if il THE FAMOUS DIVINE: fellow men; it is a sensible thing for | BY THE REV~ RA W- HENDER! stand by the truth revealed to him by Ged. PEARLS OF THOUGHT. In the long run men hit only what they aim at.—Thoreau. He who allows oppression shares the crime.—Erastus Darwin. No pleasure is comparable to the standing upon the vantage ground of truth. Many men owe the grandeur of their lives to their tremendous diffi culties.—C. H. Spurgeon. In every piece of honest work, hows If, in the realm of science, experi- ence shall be held to be the test of value of opinion, how much more necessary will it not be in the sphere! of the religious life. It is easy for | the scoffer to mock at the joys and’ the comforts of the Christian life. There is no difficulty for the man who really wants to find men who, after half-hearted service and misin- | terpreted, misunderstood experiences, | pronounce the life within Jesus a fraud. But is the cry of the maligner of Christianity legitimate and well based? Has any man a right to dis-| .parage a system of living of which he has no experimental knowledge or of which his sole information is’ unscientific or fraudulent? Which shall be mightier, the testimony of | the soul which having fulfilled the conditions is satisfied and sure, or the tale of woe of the charlatan who never met the measure? But if it is needful to be rich with experience to deny the grace of the God blessed life, it is still more neces- sary to be saturated with a deep, Christly, spiritual, personal experi- ence in order to convince others of its value and to enjoy what Beecher called “its privileges and preroga- tives.” The holy men of Israel knew the beauty of Jehovah and the glory o? a life near to Him because they enjoyed and practiced experimental communion with Him. Jesus pro- claimed the majesty of the Father and the loveliness of a God-inspired career because He dwelt within the presence of His King. Paul paints the manifold blessings of the Chris- tian life because he was a thorough- going Christ-man. The Samaritan woman received Jesus as the prophet for whom her heart longed because she had seen Him face to face. And her brethren from the city believed on Christ since she repeated to them ing the truth she had both heard and seen. There we have it, faith founded on fact and on fact repeated -—that is to say, upon personal ex- perience. » All preaching and all testimony which strikes home to the heart is the story of the personal experiences, The first principle of a reaching talk is, to sum it up in a sentence, tell only the facts of life. And if in the telling of the Gospel story and in the application of the truth to the de- mands and the problems of to-day this element of dead certainty is of such immense importance, who shall deny its insistent necessity in order to the enjoyment and appropriation of the Gospel blessings by the indi- vidual. The Christ life must be a live, first-hand, personal experience or it is useless. You may take your food prepared or predigested as you will. You may take your knowledge of the scientific disciplines by rote. But no man can know Christ or enjoy a rich and enriching spiritual com: munion within Him who does not live his life within Jesus for himself. “Now we believe, not because of thy saying; for we have heard Him our- selves and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world,” said the men of Sychar. And this is, as in the nature of the case it must be, the testimony of every man whe will enter or who has entered inte the enjoyment of the “privileges and the prerogatives” of the Christian life. No. other method of entrance is so satisfactory. No other testi mony from the citizens of the eternal kingdom is so influential and con- vincing. No other ‘knowledge is sc certificating to the intellect. No other evidence is so soul inspiring. With- out a vision of the Christ no man may witness worthily for Him. Blessed with a personal experience we may lead the multitudes to God. "A Christian who is devoid of a per- sonal experience with the presence and the personality of Jesus Christ is a paradox. Strictly speaking there is no such thing as a Christian life apart from the immediate influence of the Lord Jesus. We might as well call a man a sinner and without the pale of the kingdom of God, as _ we have it in the economy of Jesus, as to call him a “nominal Christian.” We speak of nations as nominally Chris- tian because we do not wish to be unkind in our terminology. In real- ity a nation that is nominally Chris- tian is usually a nation that bears no more resemblance to Christ, His plans, His teachings, His character, than is expressed by the fact that for convenience’s sake and for purposes of international differentiation, we so denominate it. The man who hopes to win men with a message that is other than born of a personal and direct inspira- tion from God Almighty is an an- achronism. It may have been possi- ‘ble at some time in the dark ages of history to win men to Christ by hear- say testimony, but it cannot be done to-day. The world wants the mes- sage of the eye witness, the report of the man who has heard the truth with his own ears. Humanity desires the testimony of the scientific inves- tigator, the man who has tested the truth and has found it real. ‘Now we believe—Dbecause—we— know.” This is the gist of the text and the outstanding truth of that jovous Samaritan day. This is the test of faith. A vote of confidence to the Christians who can say it. Joy unspeakable to the sinning man who finds therein salvation for his soul.

Hardness is a want of minute at- tention to the feelings of others. Tt does not proceed from malignity or carelessness of inflicting pain, but t from a want of delicate perception of those little things by which pleasure is conferred or pain excited.—Sydney Smith. The sublime of Nature does not equal the sublime of Thought. A good man is a truer image of spiritual things than the loveliest landgeape; and the faithfulness of conscience, the inviolable law in the soul, is more worthy to picture the moral con- stancy of God than the orderly revo- lutions of the heavens. He will certainly fail who hopes to know men deeply and only to get hap piness, never to gei anxiety, distress, disappointment, out of knowing them; and he Has mistaken the first idea of human companionship who seeks com- panionships, friendships and contracts with mankind directly and simply for the pleasure they will give him.— Phillips Brooks. To win and hold a friend we are compelled to keep ourselves at his ideal point, and in turn our love makes on him the same appeal. Each insists on his right in the other to an ideal. All around the circle of our best beloved it is this idealizing that gives to love its beauty and its pain and its mighty leverage on character. —W. C. Gannett. © OLD-TIME VIRGINIA BREAKFAST. How Madison Dispensed Hospitality on His Plantation. The long dining-table (at Montpelier) was spread, and besides tea and coffee we had a variety of warm cakes, bread, cold meats and pastry. At table I, Margaret Bayard Smith, was intro- duced to William Madison, brother to the President, and his wife, ‘and three or four other ladies and gentlemen, all near relatives, all plain country peo- ple, but frank, kind, warm-hearted Virginians. ‘At this house 1 realized being in Virginia. Mr. Madison, plain, friendly, communicative and unceremonious as any Virginia planter could be; Mrs. Madison, uniting to all the elegance and polish of fashion the unadulterat- ed simplicity, frankness, warmth and friendliness of her native character and native State. Their mode of living, too, if it had more elegance than is found among the planters, was characterized by that abundance, that hospitality and that freedom we are taught to look for on a Virginia plantation. We did not sit long at this meal—the evening was warm and we were glad to leave the table. The gentlemen went to the piazza, the ladies, who all had chil dren, to their chambers, and I sat with Mrs. M. till bedtime talking of Washington. When the servant ap- peared with candles to show me to my room she insisted on going upstairs with me, assisted me to undress and chatted until I got into bed. If I may say so, the maid was like the mistress; she was very attentive all the time I was there, seeming as if she could not do enough, and was very talkative As her mistress left the room, “You have a good mistress, Nanny,” said I. “Yes,” answered the affectionate creature with warmth, “the best I believe in the world—I am sure I would not change her for any mistress in the whole country.” The next morning Nanny called me to a late breakfast, brought me ice and water (this is universal here, even in taverns) and assisted me to dress. We sat down between fifteen and twenty persons to breakfast—and to a mos: excellent Virginian breakfast—tea, coffee, hot wheat bread, light cakes, a pome or corn loaf, cold ham, nice hashes, chickens, etc.—Secribner’s Mag- azine, Effect of Chemicals on Plant Colors. About Nov. 1, 1904, 1 began a series of experiments in the greenhouses of the United States department of agri- culture at Washington, for the pur- pose of determining the effects of certain chemicals on the color prin- ciples of plants. The plants selected for study were carnations, roses and pansies. Some effects have already been noted. For instance, in the case of La France roses the petals became of uniform pink color when the plants were supplied with iron citrate and citric acid. Maroon roses be- came dark red when the plants were supplied with phosphoric acid, iron and ammonium sulphate or sulphurie acid. In fact, the color of the ma- roon roses approached that of the crimson roses. when treated with sul- phuric acid, ana they also tended to singleness. —Dr: Henry Kraemer in Nature. come in.” NEW COKE INDUSTRY Company Formed to Deveiop Proper ty in Washington and Greene Counties. The Briar Hill Coal & Coke Com- pany, composed of Washington and Pittsburg men, let the contract to the Hitchcock & Andrews Iron & Steel Company and the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Company, both of Youngs- town, O., for the sinking of four mine shafts and the construction of 1,000 ovens near Khedive, Greene county. This contract not only means that extensive coking opera- tions are to be started, but also {hat the vroposed Uniontown & Wheeling Short Line railroad is to be built. The new coke works will be located on a branch of this road. The Briar Hill company recently secured 4,000 acres of coal in Greene and Washington counties from J. V. Thompson of Uniontown: The coal has been tested for coking purposes and is said to be as good as that of the Connellsville region. The cost of the ovens, exclusive of the sinking of the four mine shafts, wili be ‘over $1,000,000. The company expects to give employment to about, 2,200 men, and for their accommodation will, within the next few weeks, begin the construction of a town. Sentence was imposed at Greens- burg, by Judge McConnell on John Culp, Sr, Harvey Harrow, James Lemmon, Charles Romig, R. C. Bayle, and J. H. Hecker, who were con- victed at the August term of quarter sessions court of assault and battery and riot in connection with the held- ing of the Republican primaries at Arnold last June. After a severe verbal fiaying by the court, each de- fendant was directed to pay a fine of $106 and costs. The fines and costs aggregated $1,239.82. The Reading Iron Company an- nounced that its wage scale schedu- les now in force are being revised and that 'a general advance will shortly be made in all departments. Recently the prices of some of the company’s products were advanced, and wages will be adjusted to con- form to the improved market condi- tions. This will affect 3,000 men. United States District Attorney MecCarrell, of Harrisburg, instituted proceedings in the United States court at Scranton, against three rail- roads to collect penalties for failing to comply with the safety appliance laws.
