NEW YORK, Not. S.-EvAjtrmllllner
Is busy with Jlorso Show ItfllB, every
Cross-maker with Horse Bhowjgowna.
t {What will bo worn .at theg/and ?Ujtiimnal
gathering of fashion's* hosta it
Is easy, within limits, to spec'lfy.
For morning wear there Is, first, the
fcur toque. ^ |t'
Fifth avenne milliners are turning
tnit the smartest. little'"trlctirnes" of
genulno sable, whose chic consist In the

jret bow, perhaps held by another buckle
on the crown.
For the afternoon there are other furtoques,
but of a-vastly different order.
These have thlclt round brims that are
swathed In costly lace, which Is tied at
the back under a strass or L'Alslon
buckle, and falls In soft drapery ends.
{Very probably the brim Is first covered
"with deep crimson roses, and It is over
these that the lace Is laid.
One nouse wnose aumomj is ^rcui is
making sealskin 'hats, trimmed profusely
with pink and white roses.
For evening'wear therp are the most
fcharmlng petal hats that look like nothing
so much as overgrown flowers. A
lovely example consists of pale pink
velvet rose leaves, which compose the
entire crown, and are lightly veiled
with white tulle. The. brim of this "hat
ds formed of swathlngs of; tulle, edged
With line gold braid. A beautiful white
heron aigrette rises from l,he upturned
. left side.
To accompany this hat Is a large
Heck ruffle of white tulle and chenille.
The co'atmakers are as busy as the |
milliners, and some .trim'little boleros
of white Persian, lamb have resulted,
unlike any garments seen of recent
years.
One of these coats has.revers of ermine,
and is to be worn-, with a dress
of white cloth and a picture hat of
white felt trimmed with one of the new
&*ard-long plumes of white ostrich, the
end of which sweeps the^shouider.
There Is also a muff of white Persian
lamb and ermine?a monstrous, muif,
flat of shape and picturesque, but
heavy to carry.
An Empire coat of {he tashlonable
three-quarter length has been ordered |
by an actress whose successes across i
the footlights enable her to indulge in
any fancy. This coat Is^nade of an exquisite
black cloth, which hangs in
perpendicular tucks from a. voir novel
jto&e fastened by diamond buttons.
There Is an enormous Storm collar of
ermine.
One or two other coats must have a
word of attention. Mrs.. Stuyvesant

The sense of smell, Bt* notably developed
In savages and some of the lower
animals, Is not ordinarily very acute
among civilized people. An extraordinary
exception has been brought to notice
by Dr. Bett, a German observer. In
orio of his malo frlentjs the sense Is so
keen that acquaintances are at once
-recognized by their personal odor at a
distance of several paces, and the man
makes no mistakes even when securely
blludfolded. The faculty Is not keener
In the bloodhound. This Individual asserts
that every family has its characteristic
odor, and that members of
the family are to be distinguished by
the degree of the odor.
A new animal is to be given to Sweden
if the efforts of Herr Koltholf
prove successful. A male and a. female
calf of the musk ox have boon brought
from the north, and as soon as they are
acclimated they arc to be liberated an3
doscnndunta will multiply rapidly. The
animal is to bo reared not so much for
Its flesh an for Its thick brown hair.
The long hair Ifl useful for some purposes.

be highly prized IX It oould bo supplied
In quantity.
Tho several varieties of prawns studied
by Messrs. F. "W. Gambia and F. "W*.
Keeblo adapt their colors by day to
those of the surrounding weeds, but always
turn blue at night. In newlycaught
specimens tho morning and
evening changes are made at the regular
lima, even if the conditions of light
are changed.
Tho diving bell used for work on the
new dry docks at Kiel, Is 1S3 feet long
and forty-six feot wide, with a working
space height of eight feet It has a
suspension frame supported by two
baj-ges, and is divided Into two chambers
for tho workmen and two for electric
olovatore to supply concreto and
other materials.
Tho striking results of his long-continued
experiment* on the agglomeration
of materials by prcsmjre have been
summarized by Professor Spring, of
Liege. Particles of all plastlo substances
may bo weldod together by
pressure alone, and mixtures of metals
become alloyed exactly as when
heated, copper and tin filings producing
bronze and copper and zlno filings
forming brass, while zinc and lead fll
nigs Buoy no oetter man wnen meitea.
Tbia welding of particles la explained
as duo to the forming of a solid solution
at the interfaces under pressure.
Talis of flat-ended cylinders were
placed for three to twelve hours In a
stove, at a temperature at least 860 degrees
below the melting point of the
moat easily fused of the metals and
2,880 depress below that of platinum,
and, under no greater pressure than
that of tho upper cylinder, the couples
of platinum and other metals became
so firmly Joined that after turning in a
lathe the point of union could not bo
detected, while In thw case of the xlno
copper coup!e a layer of brass one-ona
hundredth of an Inch thick was plainly
to bo seen. Metals Incapable of dissolving
each other?such as slno and
lead?showed no sign of union. No
amount of pressure?even up to that
equivalent to' a thickness of thirty
miles of rock?could make sand and
limestone particles unite, but as water
under great pressure dissolved considerable
silica, which was deposited on
release of pressure, it was concluded
that this silica solution has formed tho
cement, binding together tho grains of
light like a brilliant mirror.

The Study Lamp.
Thero are several Incidental lessons In
this parable. They are to bo noted; but
If undue prominence Is given thorn, the
proportion will be lost. Above all, It is
not to be spiritualized or allegorized.
The muln Indent of the parable Is to
show that a species and degreo of wisdom
Is necessary to success in religion.
Ono of the faults of current religion?
happily not now so great as it has been
?is to think of the sphere of Christian
experience as a hap-hazard region
wlioro nnds como without means, and
effects without causes?where even the
effects of violation of law can be sot
aside in somo supernatural way.
Drummond gave us an epoch-making
phrase: "Natural law in the spiritual
world."
We succeed In religion exactly As in
other things, in proportion to the skill
and constancy with which we use the
means which produce success.
How much planning, scheming, and
devising there Is in things material and
temporal! Men are not only giving as
much attention as the case demands,
but In many Instances more.
Tho "children of light" should In their
genoratlon show moro wisdom than the
children of this world. Too often they
do not. Hence Jesus' condemnation.
If the things for which men strive
were arranged in the order of th?lr relative
Importance, things relating to the
soul would certainly come first. Hence
tho philosophy of Jesus' command:
"Seek first the kingdom of God."
This parablo has given commentators
a heap of trouble. They have even
tried to foist a negative in order to
make Jesus say the opposite of what he
is recorded as saying. Julian the Apos-1
tate asserts that Jesus praised an Im- !
moral act. He anys he "commends and
sanctions cheating." Nothing like It! |
For examplo, praising thestre-bulldera i
for their ingenuity does not involve ap- '
probation of the theatre. Canon Farrar
says: "The lesson conveyed by this
parable Is enforced bv tho principle-of
contrast (like that of the unjust Judge),
and Involves no commendation of the
party whose conduct conveys tho lesson."
The affairs of a large establishment,
commercial, manufacturing or other,
can not bo conducted without trusted
officers of various grades. To take ad- 1
vantage of this necessity Is contemptible.
Yet It Is nlmost a characteristic of |
current commercial history. It*6 the
era of "rake-offs," faJse entries, and
what not. Happy is the Arm that has
aucb a Jewel as Abraham had In Ellczer.
The Bible abounds in short sentences
that stick in memory like arrows in a
target. "Ye can not serve God and
Mammon." Is one of them. It is mathematically
true that lines divergent. Infinitely
extended, can not purallel.
Write on one ideal line "God," on the
other "Mammon," and you have a geometrical
figure of tho impossibility of
the double service.
Key and Analysis.
I. Jesus gots a parable out of hln
Mammon-serving auditors: I. Tho Informed
proprietor. 1. Tho dishonest
steward. 3. An accounting required. 4.
An uncomfortable dilemma. 5. How It
Is escaped. 6. Additional dishonesty. 7.
Shrewdness commended.
II. A scries of diamond-pointed applications.
