I The Fashions of I x ? 1 the Century. ? 2 ECCENTRICITIES OF THE PAST ONLT fe fi ARE LACKING. ? T" OOKING bark through the c I r* history of clothes from the | y year 1801 to tiie year ^01 5t is easy to see that while different phases have repeated themselves from time to time, the fashions of to-day combine the beauties of the various stages of the past, omitting the eccentricities. The graceful, clinging skirt of the beginning of the last century, almost the same bolero, find a copy in the gown of 11)00. The graceful ficl.u of 1838 serves as a model for our day while the voluminous sKirrs are happily passed by. Though expensive. it was not yet the crinoline, but the petticoat that was responsible for this particular feature. It is said that the skirts widened themselves to balance the width of the shoulders for this was the time of the pelerine. Sleeves, too. were larger, of necessity. Early in the '30's was an interesting epoch in the manners of the mere man, for then he was settling down to the simplicity of the present-day attire and dispensing with his elegant kneebreeches?this. however, only after a struggle between the practical and the ornate that had lasted since the close of the eighteenth century. By 1842 all gowns were trailing again. This was the time of the lace mitten and of the odd little parasols with long fringes and double hanales. . By i860 the tide had turned, the skirts were wide and tne shoulders narrow. By '68 the cripoline had ceased to exist, and the revulsion from width resulted by about 187G in the peculiarly ; monstrous costume of that day. In ] the crinoline our grandmothers could ?

Even so lnte as 1895, the huge overbalancing sleeves put to flight the i ideas of grace and symmetry.

Afajaba Hill at Lant. This illustration furnishes convincing proof that the British have at least reached the great goal of their desires?Majuba Hill?for here is the 1 picture of one standing on its summit. He might be taken for patience on a monument, so rigid and erect he atands. but. no. he is only a plain, every-day adjutant of the Nineteenth Hussars who attained to this proud eminence by the skilful use 01 nis less. But what a memory to Britishers is Majuba Hill, where General Joubert, leading an undisciplined mob of Boers, broke a British square and at the game time almost broke the British heart*. Here it was that independence was won, though it^ has since been Jost, and here the "embattled farmers'' v of the Transvaal drove the British sol' diery like sheep before them. Mucl has happened down in South Africa since that time, and despite thelx sharpshooting, which won them th( victory at Majuba, the Boers have it tlie main been defeated, and at lasi Majuba has been "avenged." thougi the memory of its disaster can nevei be effaced. A Lace Novelty. Beautiful lace is as interesting as i( is tempting. But very seldom does one come upor anything so richly splendid as this new applique "which so far has no Dame. Though nameless, the figures suggest both eseurial and Russian lace; perhaps it resembles "most the former. At any rate, it is in the soft ecru of beautiful batiste with its pinky, purTHE LAST CENTURY ply reflexions?such a color! Though it looks very simple, yet it is an elaborate arrangement in three thicknesses; the figures in the highest relief are of a rather heavy, canvaslike weave, showing corded designs; then comes a thin silk batiste, and under this the net. And upon these three fabrics all sorts of variations are played. Sometimes tlie heaviest figures are held together by the soft net, and in other places both net and the sheer batiste foundation fabric are cut away. This splendid new applique comes in various widths from the two-and-ahalf-inch one here pictured (it costs $3 the yard) up to a splendid twentyfour-inch all-over at $12 the yard. It must be udmitted that the broader widths show the design to a much greater advantage. At any rate, it is splendor en applique. Quaint Customs in Shet!an I. The only part of the United Kingdom in which the old style of reckoning time is adhered to is the archipelago of Shetland, and there Sunday, January 15, was New Year's Day, But Sunday being with the natives a strict dies non for business or for pleasure, the next day witnessed the high jinks incident to the occasion. Tlies j included processions of "guisers," or mummers, and the drinking of various strange toasts, such as "Helt to man and death to da grayfish," and the health of the twelve apostles. In Shetland the remnants of the old Norse language- linger to such a degree that the dialect is almost a sealed book?even to Scotsmen. The last specimen of the great auk whose eggs are no v valued at something like 10( guineas apiece, was uuut- ?? there, tut the little auk still retains s precarious footing on the lonely islei of Foula.?London Daily Mail.

TALMAGE'S SERMON ; i ?i 1 SUNDAY'S DISCOURSE BY THE NOTED j [ DIVINE. J ' Subject: The l'rlntcd Word?A Call For a t 'Warm FriendKhip Between Those I Who Make Newspapers and Those Who l'reach the Gospel. [CopjriKbt 1901.1 Washington. D. C.?In this discourse Dr. Talmage calls for a warm friendship \ between those who preach the gospel and those who make newspapers, the spoken wore and the printed word to go side by i side; text. Luke xvi, 8, "The children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light." Sacred stupidity and solemn incompetency and sanctified laziness are here rebuked by Christ, He says worldlings are wider awake for opportunities than are Christians. Men of the world grab occasions. while Christian people let the most valuable occasions drift by unimproved. That is the meaning of our Lord when Ha says, "The children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light." A marked illustration of the truth of that maxim is in the slowness of the Christian religion to take possession of the secular press. The opportunity is open, and has been for some time open, but the ministers of religion are for the most part allowing the golden opportunity to pass unimproved. That the opportunity is open I declare from the fact that all the secular newspaners are glad of any religious lacis or buuibmi-b uwn i-?>6ent them. Any animated and stirring j article relating to religious themes they J would gladly print. They thank vou for 1 any information in regard to churches. If 1 a wrong has been done to any Christian ( church or Christian institution, you could ^ go into any newspaper office of the land J and have the real truth stated. Dedica- I tion services, ministerial ordinations and j pastoral installations, cornerstone laying 1 of a church, anniversary of a charitable . society will have reasonable space in any 1 secular journal if it have previous notice -J given. > j If I had some great injustice done me. ' there is not an editorial or reportorial J room in the United States into which I 1 could not go and get myself set right, and J that is true of any well-known Christian s * man. J Why, then, does not our glorious Chris- 1 tianity embrace these magnificent oppor- ? tunities? I have before me a subject of ' ' first and last importance: How shall we 6 t secure the secular press as a mightier re- ' ;' enforcement to religion and the pulpit? 1 The first thing toward this result is 1 cessation of indiscriminate hostility against newspaperdom. You might as well de- } n ounce the legal profession because of the 1 shysters or the medical profession because 1 of the swindling bargain makers as to ( elambang newspapers because there are * recreant editors and unfair reporters and 1 unclean columns. Gutenberg, the inventor ? of the art of printing, was about to de- I stroy his types and extinguish the art be- I cause it was suggested to him that print- ( < ' t? ?1 1 :_i. *1 t mg mignt oe budoiijcu miu lhc e>ciyii.c ui the devil, but afterward he bethought him- 1 6elf that the right use of the art might ? more than overcome the evil use of it, ? and so he spared the type and the intelli- J gence of all following ac;es. But there are J many to-day in the depressed mood of f Gutenberg, with uplifted hammer, want- t ing to pound to pieces the type, who have 2 not reached his oetter moocl in which he J saw the art of printing to be the rising ' eun of the world e illumination. J If, instead of fighting newspapers, we 1 spend the same length of time and the 6ame vehemence in marshaling their help < in religious directions, we would be as s much wiser as the man who gets consent 1 cf the railroad superintendent to fasten a ? car to the end of a rail train 6hows better ? sense than he who runs his wheelbarrow t up the track to meet and drive back the < Chicago limited express. < The silliest thing that a man ever does f is to fight a newspaper, for you may have 1 the floor for utterance perhaps for one day ? in the week, while the" newspaper has the 1 floor every day in the week. t Napoleon, though a mighty man, had < many weaknesses, and one of the weakest 1 things he ever did was to threaten that if t the English newspapers did not stop their adverse criticism of himself he would, with < 400,000 bayonets, cross the channel for i their chastisement. f Don't .fight newspapers. Attack pro- ? vokea attack. Better wait until the ex- i citement blows over, and then go in and get justice, for get it you will if you have < patience and common sense and equipoise t of disposition. i It ought to be a mighty sedative that t there is an enormous amount of common i 6ense in the world, and you will eventually i be taken for what you are really worth, t and you cannot be puffed up, and you can- c not be written down, and if you are the enemy of good society that fact will come ] out, and if you are the friend of good so- ] ciety that fact will be established. i I know what I am talking about, for I i can draw on ray own experience. All the respectable newspapers, as far as I know, t are my friends now. But many of you re- f member the time when I was the most t continuously and meanly attacked man in t this country. God gave me grace not to ( answer back, and I kept silence for ten t years, and much grace was required. What f I said was perverted and twisted into just i the opposite of what I did say. There i were millions of people who believed that i < - ' ?i_ < , mere was a large sum m my pui^n., m- .though we never had anything but a chair, 1 and that during the singing by the con- i gregation I was accustomea to lie down s on that 6ofa and dangle my feet over the t end. Lying New York correspondents t for ten years misrepresented our church 1 services. But we waited, and people from 1 every neighborhood of Christendom came c there, to find the magnitude of the false- t hoods concerning the church and concern- 1 ! ing mvself. A reaction set in, and soon ( we had justice, full justice, morp than jus- f tice, and as much overpraise as once we had underappreciation, and no man that f ever lived was so much indebted to the c newspaper press for opporunity to preach i the gospel as I am. l Young men in the ministry, youn? men t in all professions and occupations, wait, t You can afford to wait. Take rough mis- s representation as a Turkish towel to start t up your languid circulation or a system of massage or Swedish movement, whose i pokes ana pulls and twists and thrusts are r salutary treatment. ; There is only one person you need to a manage, and that is yourself. Keep your a dispositions sweet bv confmunion with c Christ, who answered not again, get so- a ciety of genial people and walk out in the 1 sunshine with your hat off and you will a come out all right. And don't join the crowd of people in our day who spend a much of their time damning newspapers. I Again, in this effort to securc the secu- a lar press as a mightier re-enforcement of 'J religion, let us make it the avenue of re- f ligious information. If you would secure " the press as a mightier re-enforcement of \ religion and the pulpit extend widest and 'i hirrhoet PKriof it, n onyirtpaips to the reDre- I i: 1 sentatives of journalism. Give them easy f chairs and plenty of room when they come , to report occasions. For the most part i they are gentlemen of education and re- r finement, graduates of colleges, with fam- C iliea to support by their literary craft, t ' many of them weary with the push of a t business that is precarious and fluctuating, \ ' each one of them the avenue of infomation a ' to thousands of readers, their impression I of the services to be the impression t I adopted by multitudes. They are connect- p ing links between a Bermon or a song or a a prayer, and this great population that e I tramp up and down the streets day by ] ; day and year by year with their sorrows i uncomforted and their sins unpardoned, a ' Oh, the hundreds of thousands of people j ' in our cities who never attend churches! r i Our cities are not so much preached to by a ^ ministers of religion as by reporters. Put t . all journalists into our prayers and ser- c mons. Of all the hundred thousand ser- r mons preached to-day there will not be c three preached to journalists and proba- ji bly not one. Of all the prayers offered for t classes of men innumerable the prayers of- j fered for the most potential class will be \ J thought a preacher's idiosyncrasy. There s 1 are many journalists in our church memberships, but this world will never be c brought to God until some revival of re- \ i ligion sweeps over the land and takes into g .he kingdom of God all editors, reporters, c compositors, pressmen and newsboys, c And if you have not faith enough to pray p , for that and toil for that you had better j. s get oufc of our ranks and join the other e 1 side, for you are the unbelievers who i make the wheels of the Lord's chariot <3 I Irag heavily. The great final battle be? ;ween truth and error, the Armageddon, I ihink, will not be fought with swords and shells and guns, but with pens?quill pens. iteel pens, gold pens, fountain pens and P' lefore that the pens must jbe converted.

"But." some one might ask, "would you nake Sunday newspapers also a re-enforce- 31 nent?" I have learned to take things as ? :hev are. I would like to see the much jcoffed at old Puritan Sabbaths come back igain. I do not think the modern Sunday ,vill turn out any better men and women jS ;han were your grandfathers and grand- ? nothers under the old-fashioned Sunday. .< ro say nothing of other results. Sunday lewspapers are killing editors, reporters, % :ompesitors and pressmen. Every man, voman and child is entitled to twentyour hours of nothing to do. If the newslapers put on another set of hands, that loes not relieve the editorial and repor ;orial room of its cares and responsibili- ^ :ies. Our literary men die fast enough vithout killing them with Sundav work. All things are possible with God, and L ny faith is up until nothing in the way of eligious victory would surprise me. All he newspaper printing presses of the ;arth are going to be the Lord's, and telecraph and telephone and tvne will yet anlounce nations born in a dav. The first >ook ever printed was the Bible, by Faust v md his son-in-law, Schoeffer, in 1460, and * .hat consecration of type to the Holy cf Scriptures was a prophecy of the great *! nission of printing for the evangelization f1 >f all the nations. The father of the 2' American printing press was a clergyman, Rev. Jesse Glover, and that was a pro- P] )hecy of the religious use that the gospel 01 ninistry in this country were to make of he tvnps. The tendency of criticism in the theoogical seminaries is to file off from our af ,'oung men all the sharp points and make th ;hem too smooth for any kind of execu- it tion. What we want, all of us, is more tr joint, less humdrum. If we say the right of thing in the right way, the press will be jlad and echo and re-echo it. Sunday- it ichool teachers, reformers, young men 15 ind old men in the ministry, what we all vant if we are to make the printing press in ally in Christian work is that which tl he reporter spok?n of suggested?points. 01 iharp points, memorable points. But if 01 the thing be dead when uttered by livinc ai roice it will be a hundredfold more deaa p< vhen it is laid out in cold type. ei Now, as you all have something to do ai vith the newspaper press, either in issu- in ng a paper or in reading it, eilher as prolucers or patrons, either as-sellers or pur:hasers of the printed sheet, I propose on his Lord's day a tr&ity to be signed be- r1 ;ween the church and the printing press. i treaty to be ratified by millions of good p jeople if we rightly fashion it, a treaty 11 jromising that we will help each other in >ur work of trying to illumine and felicitate the world, we by voice, you by pen; re ve by speaking only that which is fit to ta ipeak. You help us, and we will help you. si side by side be these two. potent agencies cj intil the judgment day, when we must 'i1 joth be scrutinized for our work, health- Y ill or blasting. The two worst off men in lii ;hat day will be the minister of religion hi md the editor if they wasted their opportunity. Both of us are the engineers of C ong express trains of influence, and we vill run them into a depot of light or turn- G >le them off the embankments. bt What a useful life and what a glorious G leparture was that of the most famous of ill American printer's, Benjamin Franklin, vhom infidels in the penury of their re- w innrnoa VinvA nfton fpniiifnlpntllT elnimpd is their own, but the printer who moved n( ;hat the Philadelphia convention he w >pened with prayer, the resolution lost be- w :ause a majority thought prayer unneces- cc >ary, and who wrote at the time he was a, viciously attacked, "My rule is to go straight forward in doing what appears to ne to be right, leaving the consequences ;o Providence, and who wrote this luaint epitaph showing bis hope of resur- dI ection, an epitaph tnat I hundreds of :imes read while living in Philadelphia: . That Providence intends the profession )f reporters to have a mighty share in the vorla's redemption is suggested by the act that Paul and Christ took a reporter re ilong with them, and he reported their iddresses and their acts. Luke was a reporter, and he wrote not >nly the book of Luke, but the Acts of Ca he Apostles, and without that reporter's vork we would have known notning of cu :he Pentecost, and nothing of Stephen's ea nartyrdom, and nothing of Tabitha s res- ce irrection, and nothing of the jailing and CA mjailing of Paul ana Silas, and nothing jn if the shipwreck at Melita. et* Strike out the reporter's work from the Bible, and you kill a large part of the *Jew Testament. It makes me think that n the future of the kingdom of God the eporters are to bear a mighty part. About twenty-five years ago a represen;ative of an important New York news- , >aper took his seat in my Brooklyn church >ne Sunday night about five pews from ;he front of the pulpit. He took out pen- . :il and reporter's pad, resolved to carica- al ure the whole scene. When the music bejan, he began, and with his pencil he de ided that, and then derided the prayer, H md then derided the reading of the N< scriptures, and then began to deride the sermon. But, he says, for some reason lis hand began to tremble, and he, rail}-- e> ng Mmself, sharpened his pencil and itarted again, but broke down kgai^ and ;hen put pencil and paper in his pocket m md his head down on the front pew and q, jegan to pray. At the close of the service le came up and asked for the prayers of >tht?rs, and gave his heart to God. And, hough still engaged in newspaper work, _ le is an evangelist and hires a hall at his a >wn expense and every Sunday afternoon >reaches Jesus Christ to the people. M And the men of that profession are I ;oing to come in a body throughout the E :ountry. I know hundreds of them, and a I liore genial or highly educated class of g nen it would be hard to find, and, though 85 he tendency of their profession may be g> oward skepticism, an organized common X ense gospel invitation would fetch them I o the front of all Christian endeavor. H Men of the pencil and pen in all depart- , nents, you need the help of the Christian eligion. In the day when people wanfto ;et their newspapers at two cents, and ire hoping for the time when they can get iny of them at one cent, and as a conscience the attaches of the printing press ire by the thousand ground under the cyinders, you want God to take care of you .nd your families. Some of yeur best work is as much unippreciated as was Milton's '"Paradise ^ost," for which the author received $'25. md the immortal poem "Hohenlinden" of Thomas Campbell when he first offered it S or publication, and in the column called 'Notices to Correspondents" appeared the vords: "To T. C.?The lines commencing On Linden when the sun was low' are not ip to our standard. Poetry is not T. C.'s orte." 0 men of the pencil and pen, amid your inappreciated work you need encouragencnt, and you have it. Printers of all Jhristendom, editors, reporters, composiors, pressmen, publishers and readers of hat which is printed, resolve that you vill not write, set up, edit, issue or read inything that debases body, mind or soul. n the name of God, by the laying on of he hands of faith and prayer, ordain the irintin" press for righteousness and liberty md salvation. All of us with some influnce that will help in the right direction, et us put our hands to the work, implorng Gou to hasten the consummation. In . shin with hundreds of passengers ap- ; roacning the South American coast the nan on the lookout neglected his work, ,nd in a few minutes the ship would have >een dashed to ruin on the rocks.

Vnd so insignificant means may now do vonders, and the scratch of a pen may > ave the shipwreck of a soul. ; Are you all ready for the signing of the ontract. the league, the solemn treaty iroposed between journalism and evan:elism? Let it be a Christian marriage if the pulpit and the printing press. The irdination of the former on my head, the >en of the latter in my hand, it is approbate that I publish the banns of such a narriage.
