THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SATURDAY. OCTOBER 12, lOOl. FOR FEMININE READERS Tim i.iiti.i: holiiho jac:ki:t has ha 11 a i.oMi m;.m; or Liri:. Uninrn' Clnlw Plainly of the Srlf- Hilar- Sort A Tri! In .Married Llfr-Variou Hint. Notwithstanding her universal reputation for fickleness, Iihion sometimes clings to a particular fancy s-eason after season, myn the fashion writer of tho New York I'o?t. and we note th little bolero Jacket ad a 50ccial evidence of this fact this small. mart garment coming back to us semi-annually, with perhaps ;i shade of difference In its outline. Irnsth and finish, yet very much the same jacket that appeared in the domain of fashion wh'n its vc.tnie was first heralded. It will be quite as much in evi dence among- autumn modes as it has been for seasons past. This jacket has almost as many possibilities as the separate waist. In cloth or silk it imparts a. nw effect, a little warmth and a good degree of smart j.ess to a summer sown doing duty for early autumn v.rar. With gowns of foulard. cCi inin", grcnadin crepe de Chine, rnohair. 4tc, the bolero is now an indispensable bit cf decorative wear for a Parisian's fall cos tume, and to the American it is this and also an inexpensive, practical and dapper little makeshift with which very easily to tide one over from hot to really cold winter weather. Russet and golden brown cloth gowns are to be in prominent vogue this season, and the shapely French coat or jacket, usually ma'le with epen fronts, Is completed by a vest of white or cream cloth fastened with gold buttons, which are studlike in size, ünl set at the end of rows of brown and gold braid. These vests are in various forms hish cut or in low double-breasted atyle and they are finished at the waist to ult the figure of the intended wearer. Some vests terminate in a single short, sharp angle, others in an acute point on either ride of the center. Again, vests are round ed or have th finish of an old-style conti nental waistcoat. It is, s has Just been said, a matter to be determined by the llg ure exigence. Equally with brown, one sees vtyllsh Kowns of blue in various handsome becoming shades dresses which are always fashionable in Paris and London for any and every ordinary occasion. Paquin is now making serges and cheviots with small l.ouis XIV coats or smaller jackets, trimmed at the edge with a narrow band of white cloth overlaid with black galloon. This same decoj-ation goes around the collar und flaring cuffs. Cherry red silk is used in the same way. -The coat will have a cherry lining, with revers of the silk over lapped with rows on each side, of narrow Mack gimp. Other blue wool gowns have coats with pale tan silk, with revers em broidered in ficelle and edged with a bise or brown ficelle lace. The coat is to be worn over a blouse front of the same, made with a pleat embroidered with the ficelle, end edged on each side with the bise lace. There are youthful-looking matrons who Admit that they remember a popular form of needlework consisting of cut-out sprays of Mowers and foliage, grouped on satin or crash, for sofa pillows, screens, toilet .ac cessories, etc., and appliqued down with Irregular stitches of filoselle, matching the color of Mower or leaf. These "art" pro ductions of many a grandmother's girlhood nre still treasured, and the effect is real ly good. Hl-tory is this year repeating it- s-if. but the cretonne or silk designs are much more graceful and beautiful than those of other days, and easier of treat ment, l'or example, a deft young lady has recently made an ideal parasol for herself of plain, inexpensive, white peau de sole. From a length of cretonne, covered with natural sprays rf exquisitely-shaded vio lets, she cut out a number of groups. Ppon the open sunshade she fastened these into place, and with two or three shades of vio let and green silks she appliqued them so n rt'tivlly that they appear to be wrought "ffn the uiiritseir. The groups are connected with long tendrils worked in green. A kind of violet ribbon Is tied at the top of the parasol, aud the result, at a small cost, is unique and charming. The revers of sum mer coats and the yokes of silk, satin or lace blouses can be treated in the same way. For the former some of the delicately-printed violets afford richer looking; prays than cretonne. Gold threads, or gold or sliver beads or spangles can be Introduced with smart effect. Medallions of colored silk flowers cm be used on lace or nt waists; or those of ivory or ecru lace designs, cut out. spangled or stem-stitched can be arranged on black gowns and edged with picot stitching or tiny velvet ribbon. Abont "Women' Club. Helen C. Candee, In the Century. If any one should doubt the desire of the mall remote town to make itself intellec tually worthy, let him read the programme prepared for the winter work of a club which occupied a prominent social position on the prairies of the middle "West. Here are some of the topics for papers, all to be pre pared without the advantages of a library, either public or private, and with no educa tional advantages beyond a local newspa per: "Was the Victory of Wellington at "Waterloo a Triumph of Medievalism or of Democracy?" "Is the French Republic or Ours the Rest Illustration of the Political Ideas of Rousseau?" "The Race Problem of Southeastern Kurope." "The Pessimism of the Russian Novel." "Will the Common Hatred of the Japanese and Chinese for the Kuropean Form a Itoml Strong Fnough to Hold China for the Yellow Man?" "Will Christian Kthical Ideas be More Easily Crafted on the Cold Selfishness of Con fucianism or on the Self-respecting Ideals of Puddhism?" Does not this Illustrate the idea that when fin American woman determines to do a thing rhe docs It without stopping to in quire If It is among the possibilites? How well she dos it is another matter. M3 rec ollection suggests that In this case she laughingly evaded most of the questions and made up by general cordiality and lisht refreshments by no mans a poor substitute in a border town barren of social life. Of two hundred clubs in New York State half pro literary. This spark from th log of statistics shows the popularitv of the self-culture club. There undoubtedly is something in it which appeals to the van ity which shapes our ends. It is gratifying to be- considered erudite, to know a little more than yoir neightnirs know. It ! like n more sumptuous edition of the teacher's manil.it in baby days: "You may step up to the head of the class." Arid yet. notwithstanding Its popularity, nn iinnuiet longing possesses, to soni.? ex tent, the club which hangs out its banner for self-culture boaring thr? name of litera ture, art. muie or current topics. And this longing illustrates the trend of tho day In woman's clubs; it is .1 longing toward prac ticality. Altruism being the watchword of the day. and brotherly love an Increasing passion, women are not long content to serve only themselves. And so the ciubs for f e'.f-ctdture are feeling restless stirrings of within;- to do something for the Com munity. Fortunately there are nppropri K objects for them ;ll. and perhaps they wdi advance toward the. i:o 11 or nml (innd Warpr, CMcajrn livening TYt.

That is the trying period when Interests are apt to become very close. Likewise ch leulations. Then it is that the saving of the com paratively care-free and less expensive first year of married iife comes in handy or is sadly missed if the Income was then li veil up to in unnecessary buying and foolish entertaining. A great deal of happiness in this world is wrecked Dv lebt, and gener ally the debt could have been avoided if a little more care and common sense had been exercised. Two Annoying "Word. New York Tribune. "I dislike the word3 'my' and 'the very much In conversation," remarked a critic on manners. "A woman who says 'my' carriage, 'my' horses, 'my' house, etc.. Is. If you notice, almost always the autocrat, and is often, moreover, inclined to be boastful. Such reiteration of the posess!ve pronoun regarding personal belongings al ways gets on my nerves and I find my?elf waiting for it with certain people with a sort of unpleasant anticipation. " 'The employed In the sense I have re marked is even more annoying, as it U an arrogant little word with great pretensions. i always particularly like going to the A's house parties.' remarked a woman to me recently, 'for Just "the set" are alwavs sim? to ho there' As she knew perfectly well that I was not invited the distinguish ing article was certainly superfluous. The expression 'the best people' also always seems to me too unnecessarily presuming when, as every one knows, the best peo ple are by no means those who appropriate the title, and that there are others who are much more clever and well bred, and therefore the truly best. The dance of the season, 'the' belle of the winter, etc., are also instances illustrative of my mean ing. It is when 'the' is employed as a descriptive adjective instead of being the modest little part of speech that the Kn glish grammar intended that it becomes annoying and sometimes impertinent." In Wllhelinlnn's Lund. Boston Advertiser. The Dutch lady thoroughly understands household management. She prides her self upon giving excellent food, and has a well-appointed linen press, but superfluous prettiness is wanting. One will see tine old silver and precious delft ware at tho littlo dinners she is fond of giving, but there will be 110 flowers on the table, and the guests do not dress for dinner. Ladies at The Hague and among the highest class are as cosmopolitan, as smart and as beautifully turned out as in any society in Kurope, but the bourgeois has not much idea of dressing well and will appear at the breakfast table in dressing gown and slipper, not exactly untidy, but chosen more with a view to the comfortable and the economical than the becoming. A woman who does not marry and who has a little money can lead a very pleasant life. After twenty-five she is allowed as much liberty as if she were a married woman. More girls of the higher classes remain unmarried than of old, and till their lives with many interests. Living is cheap in Holland, and a woman can live comfortably on very little. Jilcety In Stationery. New York Tost. In buying stationery the woman who is nice in trifles leaves a quire or two of her note paper unstamped this for use when a second or third sheet Is needed to com plete a voluminous letter. It is one c f the small things that betray a knowledge of correct usage that only one sheet of a let ter shall bar the address or monogram. Repetition is unnecessary and should be omitted. Odd nntl Unci. To make good tea and coffee the water should be taken at the first bubble. Re member, continued boiling causes the water to part with its gases and become flat. This is tho cause of much bad tea and coffee. The shirtwaists for fall fa?h!onable tail ors are turning out are plain, with a slight ly full front, pleated br.ck and sleeve a trifle fuller than the sleeve of last season. The material, the buttons, stocks and belts must give the distinction. A simple remedy for warts is a dram of salicylic acid with an ounce of eullodion In a bottle which has a tiny brush run through the cork. Apply this mixture to the warts twice a day and in a few days they will dry up and fall off. Of jeweled buttons the mock opals am easily the favorite, since they blend with all light tints. Read buttons, another nov elty, are small and covered with rows of minute beads. Velvet buttons embroidered with fleur de lis, paste and mock jeweled buttons are all seen. Fobs for the watch are In fashion again for women, and they are worn tucked through the belt. All the old devices which the jeweler can Invent are wrought out in these little fancies, every sort of fancy stone, as well as valuable gems, being used in the varied designs, while for riding there is a leather fob with a fancy monogram for ornament. Many of the gowns by fashionable dress makers have waists that open in the back and are perfectly straight in front, with a point. The skirt in many instances is put on the belt, with the back fullness confined in small box pleats flowing away from the waist. Art nouvenu embroidery Is fre quently used, and chenille also In delicate tints is applied in embroidered designs. Roses may be propagated in several ways, but some experience Is required. An excellent method, which has been tested and found satisfactory, is to place a cat ting in a bottle of water and suspend the bottle where it can be warmed by the sun, keeping water supplied as fast as it evap orates. When roots appear the cutting may be transferred to a small flower pot. Some good hybrid perjTetuals have been raised on their own roots in that manner. Although the plan is not always successful, yet it is easily tried and costs nothing. A medical journal tells how a saucerful of shaved ice may be kept in a sickroom through a day and night if need bo, even with a fire in the room. Put the saucer holding the ice In a soup plate and cover it with another; then place the soup plate thus arranged on a good, heavy pillow and cover it with anothtr pillow, pressing the pillows s that the plates nre completely Imbedded in them. The paragraph adds that one of the best ice-shavers is an old Jack-plane set dep. It should be turne! bottom upward and the ice moved back ward and forward over the cutter. Cownnllpf of .nnrrlij. Hartford Courant. The Anarchist undertook to hold a meet ing In New York on Sunday evening, but tho police appeared, no one felt moved to speak and the men wearing buttons in honor of King Humbert's assassin sullenly slunk away. The Anarchists in London had a free field for their meeting on the same day; the London police loing nothing, even when the wild-eyed andiente roared with delight at the designation of the Ruf falo assassin as a "saint." The Knglisli press I disgusted at the neglect of the London police to Interfere. It prbably will not happen again. The days of free public speech for Anarchists in either Kngland or the United States are as good as over. The Way They Do It In Canada. Hartford Courant. At Quebec Tuesday morning Sir Al exander Lacoste, L., announced from the bneh that hereafter, in addressing any member of the provincial Court of Appeals, counsel must say "My Lord" or "Your Lordship" instead of "Your Honor" as heretofore. Hut. if they prefer, they may say "Honorable Judge Smith" or "Mr. Justice Smith" and may refer to the chief justice as "the Honorable President of this Court." Whereupon a sarcastic .Montreal rewspaper makes a suggestion. "The next thing in onlcr," is says, "should be a chart showing the French members of the pro fession how to say 'Mind' properly."

Jmlice Allen Unit Ileen Hraring the Mntter for Sfverl l)ny Oth er Conrt Cnmr-H. The long litigation In connection with the receivership of the Premier St?el Company, that had every appearance of a compromise yeUrday in Judge Allen'i court, was given a turn late In the afternoon that may delay a settlement and prolong the litigation for several day Judge Allen has been hear ing the Intervening petitions of the Brown Ketcham Iron works and the McElwalne Rlchards Company, each having claims against the concern In the nature of me chanic's Hens. Last December a decree was granted by Judge Allen which settled the receivership with the exception of four claims those of the Brown-Ketcham Iron works, the McKlwaine-Rlchards Company, Henry Cohurn and the H. F. Watson Com pany. Henry K. Southwell, who held a mortgage on the plant, to avoid expensive litigation, purchased all the rest' of the claims held against the company. At the time of this partial settlement there was about $75.000 in the hands of the receiver and about $70,000 was paid to South well, and also a 4 per cent, distribution to the four remaining claimants and general creditors. Southwell then offered to pay the four remaining claimants 6 cents on the dollar, making the total 10 per cent. Co burn and the II. F. "Watson Company ac cepted the 10 per cent, distribution, but the Brown-Ketcham Iron works and the Mc-KIwaine-Richards Company refused. The court then had $10.000 in the receiver's bands set aside pending the adjustment of the two claims. These claims were about settled by compromise yesterday afternoon, when Attorney Jameson came into court, representing the lt. F. Watson Company, and set up a claim that his client had the same right to a further distribution as the two pending petitioners. He eontended that a clause in the agreement when the 10 per cent, distribution was accepted specified that the right of a mechanic s lien was re served. Ho asked for a hearing, and Judge Allen will hear his contention this morning. IX Tili: PHOHATi: COLHT. Je or Fletcher AVI1I Administer the i:tntc of His Brother. Jesse Fletcher was yesterday appointed administrator of the estate of Charles B. Fletcher and gave a bond of $100,000, with the Marion Trust Company as surety. The personal property of the estate is estimated to be worth about $70.oo. much of which is In stocks. Jesse Fletcher was also ap pointed guardian of Charles B. Fletcher's children. Charles B., Mathew. Elizabeth, Jsso and Lillian Fletcher, and gave a bond Of JTjO.tioO. Alexander Horton was appointed admin istrator of the estate of David Horton and gave a bond of Marv L. Berrvhill was appointed guar dian of Walter H. Hanna and gave a bond of $30. Cnse of Colored lMiyniclnn. A new step was taken yesterday in the well-known case of Dr. Jacob B. Oliver, a colored physician of Brazil, Ind., whose license the State Medical Board has for some time been trying to take away. The Appellate Court modiiled its recent decision so as to grant an entirely new trial in the Oliver case. Inasmuch as the medical law has been amended since the beginning of this suit so as to allow the medical board to revoke licenses directly without recourse to the courts, it is not expected the case will be retried. Oliver's attorneys tiled some months ago a peppery brief, in which they asserted that Brazil probably has more cripples and deforme! persons than any other place of its size in the country, and that local physicians are largely re sponsible for this state of affairs. For Lous of Two Flnjrer. Lena S. D. Bussow, by August C. Bus sow, her father, as next friend, yesterday brought suit against the Cooney-Geiger Company for $.3.000 damages for personal injuries alleged to have been received while working in the company's plant. She says that while operating a machine the second and thirl fingers of her left hand were cut off and her right hand was badly mangled. She avers that she was earning a salary of $3.50 a week and that now she is deprived of means of earning her livelihood. Her father also brought suit against the com pany for $5,0u0 for the loss of his daugh ters services. Alice Knills' Complaint. Alice Knnis yesterday brought suit against her husband, Samuel E. Ennis, for divorce. She alleges that her husband was cruel to her and came home In an Intox icated condition and abused her. She avers that on one occasion he tried to throw her out of a three-story window and once left her without food or medical assistance when she was ill. She also charges that he failei to support her and one w?ek after their marriage she had to seek work for a living. The Snit I)lnilfed. The suit of Arthur N. Dwyer against the city of Indianapolis and the Board of Works for an injunction to prevent the let ting of a contract for lighting the city under specifications on file In the office of the Board of Works, was yesterday dis missed in Judge Carter's court, the board having rescinded all action on the resolu tion. Street-Cnr Company Sued. Anton C. Brinkman yesterday filed suit against the street-car company for $10,000 damages. He alleges that a car started while he was attempting to board it and be was thrown to the pavement, lie Fays his skull was fractured and that he is per manently injured. County Tni Du plicate.

San Francisco has a city and county ordi nance making it unlawful for any person to have in his possession any lottery ticket. The California Constitution also empowers cities and counties to make and enforce within their limits such local, police and sanitary regulations as are not in conflict with general laws. It Is held that a con viction for violating such an ordinance is proper. The United States government re fuses the use of its mails to advertising lotteries, transmission of lottery tickets, and the announcement of the winning num bers in lotteries, and such a prohibitive ordinance is not void as being an unreason able and oppressive police regulation. I6 Pacific Reporter (California, Judge Hen shaw), W. Slave Marriages Regulation. Some years after the clos-e of the civil war South Carolina passed an act providing that persons who. previous to their actual emancipation, bad occupied the relation of husband and wife, should be deemed hus band and wife, as though they had been married according to law. In an interesting case recently before it. Involving certain property rights, the Supreme Court of that State held that the act applied to the re lations between slaves during the year 1SH2; that it was passed with intent to remedy a case where the parties had agreed to be husband and wife, but where the agreement was invalid because of the want of power of the parties to contract, anl not where the relation was mere concubinage. :& Southeastern Rep.

The fascination in this fourhusanJ-yar-oM itory is. that it is a study in life, it Is not a middle age pkre of scholasticism, but a warm blooded history cf human r.ature; not a disserta tion on metaphysical Kneralittes, but a tale of human emotions, 3 thy are felt to-day, and every day. and everywhere. It is the 'proier study of mankind." It concerns man, and is consequently universally Interesting. The effort to retell the Ptory is futile. To rrclothe It is to do violence to it. Its own dress is Its only dress. Its Mmplicity, jcenuineneas, fidelity. make it a masterpiece of literature. As in a microcosm, cne sees her the evolution of a man and a statesman. The circumstances which seem to retard really accelerate the process. Jocpeh had learned how to "tike honey out of the eater" one of the finest and most useful arts of life. As a slave, he made himself Indispensable to his master. Two thousand years before St. Paul, he lived the apostle's maxim. He served not as a "man-pleaser, but as unto the Lord." A quaint verelon describes him as a "luckie felowe" (Rogers.) But even his heathen master could discern the divine accom paniment to his human thrift and Industry, and acknowledged that "the Lord made all he did to prosper In his hand." Yet all the while there was the poignant sense of humilia tion. The heir of a prince must needs wear the brand of a slave. His hard lot, however, could not make a pessimist of misanthrope of him. His engaging- qualities were uneclipsed. Un consciously, he was schooling for the- premier ship. Faithful in few things, he was to be lord of many. His very attachment to Potiphar, chief captain of the royal guard, and men and methods of state. Invaluable to him in his after career. The next incident seemed to plunge Joseph in Irretrievable ruin. An Oriental prison is a descent to hell, which may well be In scribed, "Leave all hope behind who enter here." The account Is perfectly faithful to Oriental judicial processes, In that It makes no allusion to a trial. There was none. Accusation was sufficient. Nor Is there any reference to xne term for which Joseph was committed. It was Indefinite. It was the pleasure of Potiphar. Had rhe latter passed from the scene, a rew com mander of its prison would have found no record In Joseph's case, and he might have languished for a lifetime. Yet, even In prison, Joseph was still the "luckie man" the Bishops' Bible calls him. For, in the shortest space of time, the prisoner was the prison-keeper; and whatever was done there, he did it, and it pros pered. All things kept working together for good to Joseph his brothers malignant Jeal ousy; his transforraRtlon into a slne; his exile from his native land; the foul and ialse accusa tion; his Imprison nent as man seeth, each was a step in the decensus inferno; as God seeth, and as man saw afterward, each was a step In a staircase leading to a throne and a coronation; a new verification of an old saying, "Through tribulation deep the way to glory is." Yt all turned cn the character of Joseph. A meretricious and evanescent promotion might have come to him even had he been insincere and corrupt at heart. Hut a permansnt exalta tion in the hearts of his own and his adopted countrymen; an assured position among the im mortal worthies in the kingdom and patience of Ood a good life enly can win that distinction. THE TEACHER'S LANTERN'. It was the ron'entlon of the late John Flsk that evil must needs be present; that morality comes upon the scene when there is an alterna tive offered of living better lives or worse live; that th action of the ideal man is to be deter mined iiot by the rursult of pleasure and the avoidance of pain, but by the pursuit of good ness and the avoidance of evil. nut Joserh. four thousand years ago. splendidly real ized Mr. Fisk's ideal. In Egypt, the home of unchastlty (Martial), where marriage infidelity was prevalent (Herodotus), under the tnoet se ductive and persistent solicitation, he kept him self pure. "Joseph frhines brilliantly as an an cient example of chastity." The example Is in spirational for :he young men of to-day. John Ruskin makes a fine discrimination, and a helpful one. in this connection, when he says, depreciating his cwn "bringing up." that he was innocent "by protection rather than vir tuous by choice." "Innocence by protection" is a fe-ble thing, apt to be surprised and taken by guile; and protection, at bet. can only be ap proxtmiate. "Virtue by choice," like that of Joseph, is the ever-accumulating virile force that makes for right living. The deliberate, intelligent, free, continuous preference of the good, the true, the beautiful, is the charm nnd wisdom of Baintlin-s. The. very constitution of the world, natural end social. Is designated to afford opportunities for such prefrrencrs. Mr. l'isk afTlrms that though, in the process of spiritual evolution, evil must needs be present, the nature of evolution also requires that it shall tie evanescent. "From the general analogies furnished in the process of evolution, we are en titled to hope that. 4.S it Approaches its goal. anl man comes nearer to Ood, the fact of evil will the consent or knowledge of tne plaintiff, deposited the money from time to time with defendant, who kept ; "bucket shop." to covei margins in gambling transactions, which were illegal and void, and constituted misdemeanors under the laws of the State.

Jus-ph's cloth- kept getting him into trouble, though he was in no way responsible. First, it was his coat of many colors, with which his father had invested him. i-erhaps. in token that he was to have the rights cf primogeniture. Sight of it enraged his broth rs. Now, it was the cloak he left in the clutch of an adulterous woman. an. which her illicit love turned to deadly hate, she could use as evidence corpus delicti against him. People's clothes are still getting them into trouble, and v.ith more reason. "Ite rr.ember me when it shall be well with thee." That smacks of worldly wisdom. But it may be In appearance only. To avail one's self cf legitimate human means does not necessarily signify at all that one has abandoned his tru: t in God. However, the butler forgot. Enslaved at seventeen; a slave ten years; a prisoner three years; prime minister at thirty that Is Joseph's h:ttory In a nutshell. The scene of It, probably Heliopolls, near the modern Cairo. Joseph's victory Fhows how a man, espe cially a young man, is to overcome temptation. The first requirement is. Walk as in the all seeing presence of God; the second. Fight with the weapons of the word, in the light of duty; the third. Avoid the occasions of sin; the fourth, Firmness above all things: and. If It must be. flight, with loss of the good name, and even of life Itself, i Lange. Such flight is more honor able than the most heroic deeds. (Calwer.) The fear of God is the test means of grace for avoid ing sin and shame (Lange.) In a temptation to adultery or fornlcatisn. flight becomes the most pressing necessity. (Ibid.) Joseph lets his man tle go, but holds en to a good conscience. (Krummacher.) The paradoxes of Joseph: A slave, yet a freeman; unfortunate, yet the child of fortune; forlorn, yet still in the pres ence of God; object of Impending wrath, yet pre served alive; a prisoner, yet a prison-keeper; eery way subdued, yet superior to his condition; his misfortun his fortune; his fortune his mis fortune. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR. Topic for Oct. 13: IJnrlt Dnj nnd Tlieir Lessons Pmnlm 107, 1-15. rhllllps Brooks once declared it his belief that more unbelievers are made by the conflict of faith with life than by any other cause. That la, men's faith cannot stand the test of sorrowful experiences. When the dark eomes on, it Is hard to believe that the sun Is Just beneath the horizon, and it s only we that have swung away from it, and that in a few hours will return the full glory of the dawn. And yet It is in the dark that religion is to prove Itself. All passengers trust their cartalns on a smooth sea. Christ is the light of the world. Christians are to be the lights of the world, and lights are not lights unless they shine all the more brilliantly on a background of black. Indeed, if one has n his soul this lisjht of life, to liim there is no darkness at all. Kllsabeth Gilbert, the charming daughter of th l:ihop of Chichester, was Hind. Cardinal Manning was at her father's palace a few days after he left the Protestant for the Catholic faith. II saw the blind girl walk lather heltatlncly through the great hall, mi aid gently, "Let me nhow you the way." Kllzabeth accepted Ms guidance and gave' hirn a simple "Thank you." but after ward in speaking of the Incident she remarked. "It was not I who had lost the way." No: let the eyes be blinded, blot out from the skies the sun of prosperity and take from the landscape all beauty of love and opportunity and delights, still if tbe roul contains the light of the world, as Elizabeth Gilbert's did, then In all the space between East and West, and in all the hcurs of all the years, there is nothing but one unclouded splendor. Sometimes you will notice a shadow flying over the sunny fclds, and yet whn you lo..k toward the sun the ?ky appears perfectly clear. The cloud that caused the shadow was too Im palpable to te visible against the brightness of the lord of day. It is a popular fancy that such shadows are caused by angels flying across th sun. Why not think thus of all shadows? Let them lie the shadows of God's angels. If you know God and His goodness, this will come to your Instinctive thount as the darkness closes over you. Henry Van Dyke once made a rretty parable out of a iioor box of earth on a dirty window b-dge, from which, by grace of the, showers and the sunshine, a lovely blossom grew to gladden the eyes of a sick child.
