if all the discords in the ragtime
of time could be gathered up and
strung into one long soul-racking
score wouldn't it look something like
a dress parade of the freakish forms
and fashions along our public thor-
oughfares? declares The Argonaut.
The freakishness refers, of course,
to the female discords that lead off
in this. grand orchestral ‘orgy;
men being merely the plain, common-
place, uninteresting rests and bars
necessary only to accentuate the
crashing crescendo of color and con-
tour. The London Mail, reviewing a
“treatise on “English costumes,” says:
“Woman, whatever she wears, is
always charming. 1 bow. But what
woman wears is often the raverse of
charming. The world is forever be-
jing surprised by its women. They.
are Classic one day and Pompadour
the next; after that, who knows?
Nobody.
“At the present moment we are no-
ticing an extraordinary person at
restaurants, at the theatres, in the
streets. She has sprung up in the
night. Her waist has vanished, her
hair is not as it was, her hat has out-
matineed matinee hats. The Direc-
toire lady has appeared. There is
scarcely a woman in England who is
not aware of the fact. There is
scarcely a woman who is not looking
mentally at her wardrobe and won-
dering how to model last year’s
dress to meet the fashion, for fashion
is a sovereign power, and I will bet
that even the lady, I forget her name,
who rings a bell at political meetings,
i{s thinking about her hats.
«This is woman’s strength, that
she is always coming out in some
fresh allurement—Ilike children who
make surprising remarks and draw
all attention.”
Value of Money Inculcated,

early to learn just what money would
buy, and how far it would go, says
a writer in Harper's Bazar. For five
years my two boys of sixteen and
fourteen have had $4 a month as an
allowance. Since entering the high
school two years ago, the older one
is allowed $5. Out of this they must
buy all their clothes, and, if any-
thing can be saved from it, they may
use their judgment as to how it shall
be spent. We always talk over the

company the boys when they buy
their suits and overcoats; but they
have learned for themselves how to
purchase shoes, shirts, collars and
neckties. :
They have learned to watch for
mark-downs, and to buy out of sea-
son on occasion, so that they may
have more money left for Christmas
gifts or personal pleasures. In these
years I have contributed to their
wardrobe only pajamas and bath-
robes, which I made myself, and one
pair of expensive stockings for danc-
ing school. Other relatives gave them
a few neckties at Christmas.
The boys have jearned: proportion
in spending. They have experienced
that it is sometimes wise to buy the
more expensive shoes or coats, if they
have the money in hand. Otherwise,
they have learned to be satisfied with
the less costly article. They have
occasionally earned a little money by
working for a neighbor, but in all
this time they have never had any
from their parents outside the allow-
ance. It has taught them both in-
dependence and restraint. . They
have never asked us for money for
this thing or for that. Instead, we
plan with them how it may be saved
by economy of expenditure in other
ways.

Why American Women Are Beautiful.
The interest in the physical well
being of women, which is of compara-
tively recent origin with us, has ex-
isted for years among all classes in
America. When the women of Amer-
jca first began to take up physical
culture they did not so from any
desire of promoting their tealth and
strength, but simply because they
wanted to become more beautiful by
systematic exercises, says Dr. Adal-
bert Von Tobold, of Berlin.
They wanted to develop the grace
and beauty of their movements and
body to perfection, and they wanted
to appear graceful and pretty even
when nature had denied them these
qualities.
The initiative of this desire came
originally from a Frenchman, Fran-|
cois Delsarte, who had taught singing
and acting in Paris for forty years,
and who had devoted a great deal of
his time to the study of living beauty
and how to promote and preserve it.
His writings on this subject after
his death fell into the hands of twe
of his pupils, Steele Mackaye and
Genevieve Stebbins, who became the

American women ci to-day owe
much to Genevieve Stebbins, who
combined the methods of Delsarte
with the best of Swedish~gymanastics,
and who on her own body proved the
usefulness of systematic physical ex-
ercise.
The results which she and her
upils reached aroused a storm of en-
thusiasm in America. Women of all
classes and ages began to take up the
course, and as soon as the methods
had proved beneficial to adults they
were introduced in the various ‘édu-
cational institutions.
There is little doubt that when
American women of to-day éxcel the
women of all other nations in physical
grace and beauty they owe it to a very

Curious Old Legend.
According to a curious old legend,
the ruby first became known to mor-
tals as the result of Bn act of kind-
ness shown by a pcor woman to an
injured stork. Philostratus, one of
the old Greek writers, tells us that
this gem was originally placed by the
stork in the fabric of her nest as a
charm against serpents, and Acolean,
in his eighth “Book of Animals,” en-
larging upon this fancy, thus relates
the episode:
“A certain widow, Heraelea by
name, had tended a young stork that,
having fallen out of the nest before
it was fully fledged, had broken its
leg. Thersupon the grateful bird,
upon returning from the annual mi-
gration of its kind, dropped into her
lap as she sat at her door a precious
stone, which, on her awakening at
night, she found to her astonishment
had lighted up her chamber like a
glowing torch. Upon examination
this stone proved to be a matchless
ruby.”
There are in reality two kinds of
rubies; the true or Oriental ruby, and
the spinel ruby. The former is a
red variety of the precious corundum,
of great variety and value; while-the
latter is an aluminate of magnesium.
By ancient writers a still wider
range—under the common name of
the “carbunculus” of Pliny, or the
“anthrax” (‘“‘glowing coal”) of Greek
"iho Rav. Charles S. Meacferland, Pb.
Macfarland said:
He is, awaiting the end. He is going
‘down tc apnarent defeat, to human
writers—included aiso garnets and
other inferior stones of fiery color.
Rubies vary in color from pale

ful of pepper and a few grains of
before serving add three table-
rose-red through deep cochineal to
red-purple, the latter being the most
valued tint, known as the “pigeon’s
blood” cdlor. : \
Ceylon and parts of Tartary furnish
very good spinels; these exhibit the
color of crimson poppies, while the
Balass specimens resemble pale roses.
The true rubies are obtained from
the mines, the spinels usually from
the beds of torrents.
By some of the ancient writers the
ruby was said to preserve from all
harm, and by others to glow and
deepen in color when ddnger ap-
proached the wearer, and to turn pale
and lusterless when brought into con-
flict with poisons. A ruby ring would,
therefore, have been a very desirable
possession for any guest who died at
the table of the infamous Borgias,
since Caesar Borgia, it is related, had
little hesitation in dropping Dpoiso
into the wine goblets of his guests!
One of the most interesting “his-
toric” rubies is that which adorns the
centre of the diamond Maltese cross
in the imperial State crown of Eng-
land.- Originally the property of Don
Pedro, King of Castile, it was pre-
sented by him to Edward the Black
Prince, after the battle of Najara,
near Vittoria, A. D. 1367. Afterward
it was worn by Henry V. in his hel-
met on the occasion of the battle of
gincourt, 1415, and no doubt the
brilliant victory was in no small de-
gree attributed to the glowing gem.
Perfect rubies are enormously valu-
able, so we ¢an estimate the worth of
a good woman and of wisdom when
we find they excel in value these
rarest stones.—New Haven Register.

Sauth Norwalk; Conn... author of
“The Infinite Affection.” and other
works, wnreached on “Thea Imperial
Spirit of Jesns.” The texts were
from John 14:27: “Peace 1 leave

not as the world giveth, give I unto
vou. Let not vour heart be troubled,
neither let it ho afraid:” John 16:33:
“Tn the world ve shall have tribula-
tion: but be cf good cheer, I have
overcome tha world;” Matthew
10:34: “Think not that I am come
to send peace on earth; I came
not to send peace, but a sword.” Dr.
Jesus is reassuring His disciples.
He says .to them: Be courageous, he
bold, overcome-the world. By the]
world He means the temporal life.
Be masters, He says.oyey:that life;
let vour spirits overcome it.,
.. What a sublime. picture!
There
eyes. His life seems nought. The
cross awaits : Him, a cross between
the. crosses of two thieves. Barabbas
is to be chosen instead of Himself.
He no longer has any, followers, ex-
cept those faithful few, and even they
are trambling, fearful and ready to
flee. Yet He utters theses strangely
contradictory words, “I am the Mas-
ter of the world.” >
We see here also the moral gran-
deur of Jesus, the translation of His
personality and His inner life into
terms of moral power. As .He was
the great thinker, so He was the
noble liver of tbe race. As He gains
the mastery of lefty minds, so He is
the sovereign of all noble lives.
His splendid life is now centéring
fn the cross toward which it has been
leading. From the beginning He has
seen.the end. Behind Him is a long
trail of moral strength. From Him
goes the impression of a sovereign
personality. He is the supreme ex-
ample of noble living, for the man-
hosd of our dav, with its alternating
bravery and cowardice, with its noble
resolve and weak compliance. Jesus
becomes. first. the shamer and then
tae inspirer of human living.
_ HariLg in some measure appre-
Tendea the splendid mind of the Mas-
ter and gathered something of the
moral grandeur of His life, we seek
tc discover th2 hidden secret of His
cutwaré splendor. Let u$ try to luok
into His soul ard discover the mean-
ing »f this majestic. brave, strong,
impellingly attractive manhood.
Look again at our text, recall the sit-
uation under which it was uttered,
remember that He is facing a cross,
listen to His words: “Feace I leave
unte you,” “Be fall of confidence,”
“I have conqucred the world.”
Another stracge thing is the con-
radictoriness of the - Master.” For
upon - another occasion aid He not
say, “Think not that I am come to
send peace on ths earth; I came not
to send peaca, but a sword?” :
How are we to explain the paradox
of these two contradictory texts?
Shall we avail ourselves of the liberty
of criticism and say that one appears
in the Synoptic Gespels and is his-
torical, while the other appears in the
Fourth Gospel and is unhistorical?
Shall we decided that one of them
is an interpolation? This is alto-
gether too easy aad ready a method.
Let us wait and see if we may not
bring them into harmony.
First of all let us look at the ssc-
ond text and see how true it is. He
sent those disciples forth into the
world. Did not they find the sword?’
Their story is a continuous one of
persecution, imprisonment, death. If
there was the one thing they did not
find it was peace. Peter and John
began at Jerusalem. They were told
that they must not speak or teach in
the name of Jesus. They went out,
prayed for courage and went to
preaching again. For it they were
beaten with stripes. They received
their hundredfold reward “with per-
secutions.”
What mockery are Jesus’ words to
Him! “Peace I leave with you.”
How fortunate if the Fourth Gospel
were written very late and is unrella-
ble! Doeas it not make our Lord
guilty of false prophecy?
.-The story goes on through succeed-
ing: ages. The successors of these
disciples live and die in Roman cata-
combs and caves. They are hunted,
hungered, despised, persecuted, suf-
fering unto death. How it must have
mocked them: “Pedce I leave with:
you.” Jesus bequest was broken, or
at least this codicil revoked.
Thaps;-but not very often.
the stocks, and you hear him, with
Silas, singing hymns.
. Go back again and look at the life
of Jesus. Look beyond the outward
vicissitudes. Seek to penetrate to the
inner consciousness of the suffering
man. There is no thought of pes-
simism in His Gospel. He is ever
lighted up by faitn and hope and joy.
Behold Him before Pilate! His coun-
tenance is untroubled. Pilate is the
disturbed and rsstlezs ong; tie trou-
bles6me dreams were those cf the
chamber of his househoid.
Our paradox is partly sclved. Both
prophecies are true. Fe gid send a
sword on earth. He did at the same
time leave His bequest ci peace.
But our real guestion is not an-
swered. Is it trus of human life in
general? When has come the finest

Jesus’ prophecy is true.. The rea-
son-it did not seem to be true was be-
cause we did not read it aright. Read
it again: 3 “Peacs I leaye, with you;
My peace I give unto you.” My peace.

but from something that is within
us; our inward sense of our rightness
with God, our consciousness of frue
purpose and true heart.
It means the estimate of things by
a view from above. It means that
Heaven is not a place to go to, but a
condition to attain. It means that a
man, within himself, may be like ong
enfolded in the comfort eof his home
while the storm rages outside. The
ultimate victory of human life‘is this
triumph of the inward spirit over the
outward life.
I am trying to give to men 2a vital
meaning for.the cross. Look at the
Master this morning, fresh from Geth-
semane, facing that cross, with not
one brave soul to stand by Him to the
end. Hear again the calm, majestic
utterance, “I have conquered the
world.” Imagine yourself there with
the ‘disciples, facing their life, and
hear Him as Hg says to you, “You
may suffer and yet dwell upon sub-
lime heights.” “The storm of ruin
may come and yet there need never
be any truce of the spirit.” It was
just what He had been saying all
along to them, “I will give you rest.”
He looked out on the city of His
day; -He saw men as we See them to-
day, racing each other for wealth,
looking upon each’ other with mutual
suspicion. . He was saying to them,
“Do. not be like tne frail craft, like
the little steam yacht; be like the
great ocean steamer with her iron
hull, a8 she moves on her way with
her ponderous throbs; do not let
yourself be tossed about upon the
ocean, but ride through her billows.”
He was bidding men as He bids
ycu men to-day to seek and DOSsess
the great ultimate realities of life.
He was saying, “Forgat to watch your
little engines and lock out upon the
ocean and up into the sky.”
Do not guard your business, your
paltry pleasures and little interests
while you forget’ to think about the
deep things of life. Try this morning
to catéh His spirit as did the great
Apostle Paul, who learned how to
abound and also how to.be abased, to
rejoice in adversity and to let all the
experiences of life give their lessons
and their strengin. Do not long for
some soft pine-laden balmy southern
air, but, be made stronger by the
bleak winds of the rock-bound coast.
Get hold of something that is be-
yond thz reach of mep, some joy
whieh no man taketh from you. Be
like the rock unmoved by the surging
of the waters. When stricken down,
rise again mightier than before. Such
is ~thg voice of these great gospels.
My dear men (and women), tae
peace of Jesus Christ does not come
through: som2 mythical contempla-
tion, nor through some vague _experi-
ence. It comes by our sharing of the
spirit of the Master, by the earnast
following of duty, the noble facing of
‘responsibility, the bold confronting
of difficulties, the patient bearing of
calumny, the quiet endurance of per=-
secution, the brave carrying of sor-
row and the prayerful sanctifving of
our. joys. Gethsemane and Calvary
are the price of this spirit. Rest can
only follow labor. The overcoming
of outward things is the condition of
inward peace. 2
You men hers, you young men
here, religion is.not simply something
for women, or for you when you are
sick or dying. In those closing days
of Jesus they left this noble man to
be ‘admired and worshiped by a few
But even all this is less perplexing
than’ the utterance cofuing from the
lips ‘of thé man. who spoke it. Was
it a mistaken prophecy of Jesus? Be-
cause His own life was so calm and
peaceful did He suppose that His
disciples’ would be also? Look for
a moment at the life of the man from
whose lips these words come. :Fol-
low Him in His weariness, in Hi -:
jection, in His disputes with car :
critics, with His misunderstanding
and quarreling disciples. Not a place
to lay His head. Go with Him on the
.mountainside at night. Witness Him
in the Garden, where He sweat, as it
were, great drops of blood. Behold
Him on Calvary between thieves.
Waten Him crowned with thorus,
buffeted, spat upon, mocked in dis-
dain.. What a contrast and contra-
diction are His words: - “Peace 1
leave with you; My peace I give unto
you.” Evidently we must accept the
prophecy of our second text and deny
the truth of the first.
Before doing so let us go back and
look at those disciples again and be-
hold another aspect of their life.
Peter is there, it is true, in prison. |
But we read about the presence of
an angel of the Lord and of a light in
the midst of the darkness. Think of
some of those little gatherings in the,
upper rooms with the breaking of
bread and prayers. Look at Paul
with his visions all full of beauty.

rying a cake of soap. Obviously the
supporting arm is attached to the
washbasin so that the suspended cake
of soap will be directly over the
water. The supporting arm is not
stationary, but is pivoted, in order
that the soap can be dipped down
into the water when necessary. The
sanitary advantages of this soap-
holder will be apparent at once. It
does away with the ordinary slimy
receptacle employed for holding the
soap. The Soap hangs in a position
of best advantage to the user. Soap
of any description can be used, as the
supporting pin can easily be pushed

Adventurous Life in India.
Tram traveling in Calcutta evi-
dently calls for special training of the
nervous system. A correspondent
-gives details of three mishaps which
he observed during the space of a
few hours. He saw one car with no |
apparent excuse crash into another
standing at a junction. In the next
case he saw a car, upon which the
driver was engaged in drinking a
“Jota” of water, charge a number of
bullock carts, and-his final experience
was of a cyclist “contemplating the
ruins of his bicycle and addressing
measured and adjective language to
an official at the steering wheel.”—

Practical Sympathy.

Quaker, “thou didst right in that |

didst thou feel in the right -place?
Didst thou feel in thy pocket?”—
