Smart Autumn Jacket*. This season'8 jackets are fascinating with their wonderful curves and tailor ! finish. It is a mistake to suppose an | outside garment can bemadeat home. | It is the one thing that must have the stamp of the tailor, anil an exceedingly "smart'.' one at that. Stitching is generally used on the new fall coats; and, although it is a finish, it must be kept thoroughly brushed, or the dust which settles 011 its threads will give even a new coat the appearance of having been worn a long time. The short double-breasted type of jacket shown in the large engraving is most useful for autumn wear. This style is especially adaptable in blue cloth. Blue is a shade that always is serviceable, and seldom looks shabby even after a season's hard wear. The model is blue cloth, with white facings, and is lined throughout with white satin, which, by the way, is one ~c ~ liniiirro oriiV prrmlnvpfl. Ui bUC UCOli iiuiugg V/ ? r J ? ?

One of the most graceful models for a rather full figure, to use in making up crepe de Chine, Henrietta cloth, drap royal, or other fine silk and wool fabric, is the new seven-gored model, j with a graceful moderate train, to be made up separately over a foundation l skirt of exactly the same shape. Both 1 skirts are fitted very snugly over the J hips' without darts. At the back the , underskirt is gathered, but the outside is laid in clustered plaits, underfolded at the belt, but expanding ( greatly towards the lower edge, wliicli measures three and three-fourths yards at its greatest circumference. Fashions in the Shoe*. The shapes of shoes as preferred by the women of France, England and America are quite as diversified as the fair representatives themselves. The , English cut of shoe is mostly flat and long; the French, short and 'broad; the American, long, narrow and pointed. Louis-heeled shoes are 1 holding sway now with all welldressed women, and once again Fashion supersedes sense, for Americans are discarding their square-heeled shoe for the Louis heel.

A fold or two or a suspicion of a frill of lace or chiffon covers deficiencies and does not interrupt the line which fashion ordains. A becoming pinafore dress is produced by wearing over a lace bodice a second halt bodice of foulard or fine cloth, and inserting panels of the lace in the skirt, narrowing'from the waist downward.

I l< ! 0 Subject: Joy 5n God's Bonne, P*a. cxxil? Golden Text: l'fia. cxxii., 1?Memory ^ Verses C-9?Commentary oil the Uay'# Lesson. .. 1. "I was glad." Though wiiiten by .-i David B. C. 1045, this Psalm appears to be imong those collected by Ezra and N'ohe- 0 niab after the captivity of Judah, and used tl by the people then, B. C. 536. If this Psalm n was calculated to stir the hearts of the people to cherish Jerusalem a-# the Holy P City, where God would maniftAt His presence to them, the arlc being placed there, then surely it was suited to the returned captives who had been separated from the t city for seventy years. If we eoucludo this to bo the Psalin of the JeTs upon theii _ hearing the edict of Cyrus fcrantinft theii * return to Jerusalem, it win snow uow i.-uui- n fully they returned to the customs of theii a religion. In former years David's bear: had been gladdened when tbe people re- P membered tbe solemn feasts, and gathered from all parts to assemble at Jerusalem tc E worship Jehovah. So now there was thanks- ^ giving on the part of the captives to Go(? tor deliverance, and rejoicing among them- u selves when they heard their brethren re- fi solve to accept the offer of Cyrus to return. a Though tbe temple was destroyed, theii l business was to rebuild it. Jerusalem wa? ~ to them the mount of God, a spot sacred i to His worship. Fully delivered from t! Idolatry, the purpose of every returning j R captive was to worship God according to t the law given them by Moses. 2. "Our feet shall stand." In David's ii time this was a rejoicing because the ark of God was to have a fixed place. The 2 days of wandering in the wilderness were ~ past, and the people were settled in Ca- P nuan; therefore they could have a flxeJ ; |j habitation for the ark and the altars oi j God. So after the captivity the Jewslooked , with joy to the time when they should be | 3 safely settled in their own land aud undet | D the protection of God. In this return there , p was u representation from all the twelve l tribes. Jerusalem, from David's time, wa? ' considered-as the center of the worship and ] J government of Israel, as the bond of union j 1: among the tribes; and while that city re- j f mained eomnaot and united as their com- 1 * mon head they were safe and prosperous. I F The union also of the priesthood in Aaron'? j t family, with the kingdom in that of DavJd. I t was very advantageous to their common , interests, civil and" religious, when justice : was administered according to the Ip.w oi ' God, and legal authority protected and 1 supported the worship of God at His . temple. This typified the union of the 1 priesthood and kingdom in the person oi the Redeemer! David's sons were chiei rulers soon after the removal of the ark tc Zion (2 Sam. 8:18), so that the thrones of j his family, as well as bis own throne, were i then established at Jerusalem. 3. "A city that Is compact." David 1 seems to have connected old Salem and f Jebus and the stronghold of Zion togothei ] and walled them; and he and Solomon filled up or built a causeway across the valley which separated Morinh from a part t of Zion. The parts Acra(old S?lem) and s Bezetha (toe new city) were also in time _ connected with Zion and Moriab, either by masonry, as bridges and causeways, or bj ' Ailing up. By these works the whole o: a Jerusalem, consisting of several distiud c settlements, was builded together, and be- j came one compact city; and In the valleys * there seem to have been both aqueduct; c and covered streets?even these were" I arched, compactly built, .cloaely covered, * and some of them with such solidity thai tney still remain, it was a type 01 me Gospel churcb, which is compact togthei in holy love aud Christian communion, sc tbat it '.s all as one city. The greatest glory r of a city is not that it is large, strong anil I magnificent, but tbat it gathers, protects s and builds up God's church within. t 4. "Whither the tribes go up." Where ? they are represented at the feasts. Each of the three annual feasts was kept in memory of God's care over them from the t time of their exodus from Egypt until their settloinont in Canaan. They were types of Christian experience. Every Jew was expected to attend at least one ot these feasts each year. B 5. "There are set thrones of judgment." r In this figure the fact is indicated that n Jerusalem was the centre of government r.nd of worship for the whole land. While ^ the thrones of the house of David were * there they had justice. What a goodly t &ight to see tliw testimony of Israel (tbe ark , r\f f h q AAt>ar.nnf\ nnH f ha fhrnnaa a? ment buc?!i uoiir neighbors, which may 0 greatly befriend one another! Let the I e testimony of Israel direct the thrones ?i j |, judgment, und the thrones of judgment protest the testimony of Israel. G. "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem." It t is our duty to pray for the prosperity of t the nation and of the church of God. ] "They shall prosper that lovo Thee." Huppy shall they be who In their love foi 0 the religion and justice which arc ad- s ministered in thee, 0 beloved city, con- r tribute their endeavors as well as theii . prayers for thy safety and prosperity! The peace and welfare of the Gospel church is to bo earnestly desired and prayed for by n every one of us. What the Israelitish i. church was the Christian church on earth now is, and demandeth in liko manner the 1 prayers of all Christian people for Its f peace and welfare hi a troublesome and 3 contentious world. 7. "Peace be within our walls." Not only ? thy civil and religious Institutions, but alsc ' among all thy officers, soldiers and inhabit- J ants, for they constitute the strength and ? safety of the" kingdom. "Prosperity within thy palaces." In the king's house, his family, his ministers. If there be dissension, there ruin will soon follow. ; 8. "For my brethren and companions sakos." Our concern for the public welfare is right when it is the effect of a sincere ? lnvo tr\ fl/iH'u {iiefIftifInna nnd XT(a fdlfhfnl I worshipers. It might be said, No thank? to David to be so solicitous for the welfare t of Jerusalem; it was his own city, and the I interests of his family were lodged in it. Yet David professes that w?s not the rea- . son why he was in such care for it; but il 1 was from bi3 warm regard to tho communion of saints and to tlie ordinance ol . God. We are not only subjects of one kiDg, ' citizens of the same city, bu: wc have all one God and Father. i 9. "I will seek thy good." Because thou ] art the sent of religion, the place where our merciful God has condescended tc dwell, if religion fail, the kingdom will rail; prosperity will be at an eud, and the 1 nation will be divided, distracted, destroyed. Truo religion in a country is the consolation of the good who dwell there, t nnd the bridle that holds the 'jaws of the ? wicked. In this Psalm Duvld resolves tc be faithful- as a king. Whatever there might be of wars with other nations, he is resolved to do his utmost to maintain peace within his own country. Whatever there might be of idolatrous worship Around him, he would exalt the worship of God ir Israel. Though other natlous were divided against themselveo, ho would use his heel efforts to maintain a peaceful condition between himself and his subjects. d11 v ^ a omen \/r^eri ^ nih/Mw w nnmtL/ vt3acu3i Government Prepares For Any Possible Itebelllou in the Interior.

How to Stop Worrying. "The usual way people set about topping worry is a wrong one," rrites Mary Boar dm an Page in the ,adies' Home Journal. "That is why t is so unsuccessful.

A spider carefully wove his net in the corner of a room and waited for a victim. By and by seeing a fly meandering along that way he invited him in to chat awhile, casually offering to set 'em up as an extra inducement. "My I ask," said the fly, as he brushed a breadcrumb off his left eyebrow with his front foot, "why you are so blamed anxious to strike up an acquaintance I with an entire stranger? So far as I know you never saw me iti your life before." "True," replied the spider as he fastened another strand, "but as soon as I saw you I was struck by your appoarance and determined that you were the individual I had been looking for to go into a great business venture. I can 8ee in a minute that you have a head for business." But the fly simply said: "My fuzzy headed friend, I might possibly be caught with this glucose you are giving me if it wasn't for the fact that I see there mains of a friend of mine from Mis. souri banging up there in the corner of your establishment. He had to be shown, I don't."

Two Hold Train Itobbem. Of all the bloody men of the road, indubitably the shrewdest and one of boldest, was John Sontag, of California. He was trapped and shot in the Sierra Nevada, but not until he had l sent four detectives to their long ac, count. He seemed to have a genius for detecting detectives and liked to kill them. His passing left but one j band of organized train robbers in the country. This gang was composed , mostly of the famous Dalton brothers, a family of dead shots, which had the peculiarity of shooting rifles always with the rifle butt b6low the hip.
