The I front of the waist proper is tacked at i the upper portion to give a triple point/ *d yoke effect, and again at the wait# ' to simulate a pointed girdle, but the i backs are tucked for their entire length to give a tapering effect. The sleeves are entirely novel and in the fashionable elbow length, but can be made * long and the deep cuffs added when preferred.

The pretty May Mantou model shown In the large drawing is well suited to dimity, lawn, batiste and all the familiar washable fabrics, but in the original is made of old blue cballie dotted .with black, the trimming being stitching with black ccrticelli silk. and narrow ribbon frills. Closing the front and holding the cuffs are caned gold buttons with a tracing of black, and at ? the waist is black louisine ribbon bowed at the centre front. The jacket Is simplicity itself. The fronts are gathered at the neck and fall in soft folds that are held by the ribbon belt. The back is plain across the shoulders but drawn down in gathers at the waist line that are arranged l?? a iiuvuMlnn of shirrs. Connecting the two are under-arm gores, that render the Jacket shapely and trim at the samo time that it is loose. The neck 1* finished with tarn-over collar and over the shoulders falls a deep round one. that gives a becoming f*ape effect, but which can lie omitted when the Jacket is preferred plain. .

Sobjrft: E?try Man lias a Lion to Fight ?When Contending Against an Erll Ilahlt You Htauil In an Immense Circle of Sympathy?Clouds of WltBtiici. Washington. D. C'.?Thin discourse of Dr. Talmagc is full of insuring thoughts for those who tind life a struggle, and ?hows that we have many ce!c*tial sympathizers; texts. Hebrews xii. 1, "Seeing we also are conifia-oed about with so grer.t a cloud of witnesses;" 1 Corinthians xv. 32. "I have fought with beasts at Ephesus." Crofsing the Alp* by the Mont Onis pass or through tike Mont Cenis tunnel, . f??. rlnn-n at VlTO you cJ I t" in a iv n uuui ? dv? w ->.. ? n*. Italy, and in a few minute* b.*gln ex* training one of the grandest ruins of the world. the Amphitheatre. The whole building sweeps around you in a circle. You stand in the arena where the combat was once fought or the race run, and on ail sid"* the seat* rife, tier above tier, until von count forty elevation* or galleries, an I shall Fee fit to call them, in which sat the Senators, the kings and the 25.000 excited spectators. At the sides of the arena and under the galleries arc the cages in which the lions and tigers are kept without food until, frenzied with hunger and thrst, they are let out upon some poor victim, who, with his sword and alone, is condemned to meet them. 1 think that Paul himself once stood in such a place, arwl iHat it was not only figuratively, but literally, that he had "fought with beast? at Ephesus." The gala day has come. From all the world the people are pouring into Verona. Men. women and children, orator* and Senators, great men end small, thousands upon thousand* come, until the first gallery >* full, and the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth?all the way up to the twentieth, nil the way up to the thirtieth, all the way up to the fortieth. Every place is filled. Immensity of audience sweeping the great circle. Silence. The time for the contest has come. A Roman official leads forth th* victim into the arena. Let him get his sword with firm grip into his right hand. The 25.000 sit breathlessly watchinc. I hear the door at the *ide of the arena creak open. Out plunges the half starved lion. his tongue athirat for blood, and with a roar that brines all the galleries to their feet he rushc* against the sword cf the combatant. Do you know how strong a stroke a man will strike when hi* life depends unon the first thrust of hi* b!sde? The wild beast. lame and bleeding, blinks baofc * toward the fide of the arena; then rallving His waited strength he comes up with fiercer eye and more terrible roar than ever, only to be driven back with a fatal wound, while t!je combatant comes in with rtroke after stroke until the monster is dead at his feet, and the 25.000 e'ap their hiyid* a:id utter a shout that makes the city tremble. Sometimes the audience caine to sec a race: sometimes to see gladiators fight enfh other, until the people, compassionate jor the fallen, turned ticir thumbs up r.s an appeal that the vanquished be spared, and sometimes the combat was with wild beasts. To ore of the Roman amphitheatrica' audiences of 100.000 people Paul refer* when he says, "We are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses." The direct reference in the last passage is made to a race; but elsewhere hiving di?<>ussed that. I take now Paul's favorite idea of the Christian life as a combat. The fact is that every Christian man has a lion to fight. Yours is a bad temper. The rates of the arena have been opened, and this tiger has coire cut to destroy your soul. It his lacerated you with many a wound. You have been thrown by it time and again, but in flic strength of God you have arisen to drive it bic'c. I verily believe vou will conquer. I think that the temptation i* getting weaker and weaker. You have given it so marv wounds that the prospect in that it will die, pud you shall be victor, through Christ. Coura;;, brother! Do rot let the Hand* of the arena drink the blood of your soul! Your iion is the passion 'or htrojig drink. You may have contended against it for twenty veers, hut it in strong of body and thirsty of tonsue. You have tried to fight it back with broken bottle or empty wine flask. Nay, that is not the weai?on. With one horrible roar he will seize thee by the throat and rend thee limb from linsb. Take thin weapon, sharp and keen?reach up and get it from God's armory?the word of the Spirit. With that thou mayest drive him back and conquer! But why specify when every man a:;d woman hr.s a hen to fight? If there be one here who has no btsetting sin, let him epeak out. for him have I rflended. If you have not fought the iion. it is bccause you have let the lion cat you up. Thirverv moment the contest gois on. The Trc.ian celebration, where 10.010 gladiators fought and 11.000 wild beasts were slain, whs not so terrific a struggle as that which at this moment goes on in nany a soul. The combat was for the life of the body: till* is for the life of the soul. That was with wild l easts irom tne jur.gie; m.b is with the roaring lion of hell. Men tliijik, when thev ontend against mi evil habit, that they have to fight it all alone. Xo! They ?tand in the centre of an immense cir< le of syinpath>. Paul hail been reciting the names of Abel, Enoch. Noah, Abraham. .Sarah. I*nac. Joseph, Gideon and Barak and then say*. "Being compassed about with so grta* a cloud of witnesses." Bvfore F set through I will show you that you fight in an arena, aroind which circle, in galleries a'<ove e.^rh other, all the kindling eyes and nil i!i? sympathetic hearts of the ages, and at every victory (rained there comes down the thundering npp!au.--c of a great multitude that no man can numbfr. "Being compared about with so great a cloud of witnesses." On the first elevation of the ancient amphitheatre. on the day of a celebration, fat Tiberius or Augustus or the reigninjj king. So in the jrreat arena of spectators that watch our struggles and in the fir?t divine gallery, as I shall call it. sits our Vim? niic .Twin. On 111? head are n:a*:v crowns. Th?* Roman emperor cot hi* place by er,ld blooded conquests, hut our King hath come to Hi< p'aee by the broken Hearts healed ami t!ie tear* wiped away and the sou!* rt deemed. The Roman emiitror *at, with fo!ded arm?, indifferent as to whether the swordsman ?>r the lion beat, but our King's sympathies are all with ".a?nav, unheard of condescension! I see Him come down from the gallery into the arena to help us in the fight, shouting un'il all up and down Hi* voice in heard: "Fear not! I will help thee! I will strengthen thee by the right hend of My pow*r!" They gave to the men in the arena in the oiden time food to thicken their blood, so that it would flow slowly and that for a longer time the people might gloat over the scene. But our King has no pleasure in our wounds, for we are bone of His bone, flesh of Ilis flo?h. blood of His blood. In all the anguish of our heart The Man of Sorrows bore a part. Once in the ancient amphitheatre a lion with one paw caught the combatant's sword and with his other paw caught his ti.a .?i. i,~;f? f PlliCiU. j lie man iwn ma mint uvm imp gird!e and ?!ew the beast.

"Shame! *hame!"at such meanness. liut the King in thiK ca*c is our brother, and He will see that we have Jair play. He will forbid the r.!?l:ing out of more lion? than we ean meet. He will not suffer us to be tempted above that we are able. Thank <!od! The King is in the gallery! His even are on u*. 11m heart is with u*. Hi* hand will deliver us. "Blessed are they who put their trust in Him." T loot a train and I nee the anuelic ca! lory. There they are?the r.npd that swung the sword at th? pate of hden, the Mine that Kzekiel ww upholding the throne of flod. ami from which I 1<m>1; away, for the splendor is insufferable. Here are the guardian angels. That one watehed a patriarch: this one protected a child: that one has been pulling a soul out of temptation! All these are messengers of light! Those drove the Spanish armada on the rock*. This turned Sennacherib'* living boat into a brap of l&.TW TPWPWJH01 *** ".1* corpses. Those vonder chanted the Christ* in:*;* carol over Bethlehem until the chant awoke the shepherd*. These at creation stood in the balcony of heaven and serenade the newborn world wrapped ia twaddling clothe* of light. And there, hoiier and mightier than all, is Michael, the arrhan(?l. In the ancient amphitheatre the people pot *o excittd that tney would shout from the galleries to men in the arena: "At it again!" "Forward!" "Ore more stroke!" "Look out!" "Fall hack!" "Huzza! Huzza!" So in that gallery, pronhetic and apostolic, they cannot keep their ncace. l)iuifl cries out, "Thy God will deliver thee from the mouth of the lion*!" David exclaims, "He wd) not suffer thy foot to he moved!" Isaiah calls out: "Fear r.ot! I am with thee! Be not dismayed!" I'aul exclaim*. "Victory through our Lord .Ic*us Christ!" That throng of prophet* and apostles cannot keep still. They make the welkin ring with snouting and halle luiahs. I look again and I see the gallcrv of the i.artyrn. Who i? that? Hugh Latimer, Hure enough! He would not apologize for the truth he preached, and no he died, the night before swinging from the bedpost in perfect jilee at the thought of emancipation. Who is that army of G666? They are tl?e Theban legion who died for the faith. Hi re ia a larger ho?t in magnificent array, 884,000, who perished for Christ in the persecutions of Diocletian. Yonder is a family group. Felicitas. of Rome, and hef children. While they were dying for tht faith she stood encouraging them. One son was whipped to death by thorns; another was flung from a rock; another was beheaded. At last the mother Lerame a martyr. There they are together, a tnmilv group in heaven! Yonder is John Bradford, who *aid in the fire, "We shall have a^ merry supper with the Lord to-night!" Vnm!" i? Hi>nrv Vw?. who exclaimed as he died. "If I had ten head*, they should all fall off for Christ!" The great throne of the martyrs! They had hot lead poured down their throats; horte* were fastened to their hands and other horse* to their fee*, and thus they were pulled apart; they had their tongue* pulled out by redhot pinecrs: they were tewed up in the skins of animals and then thrown to the dogs; they were daubed with combustib!cs and pot on fir?! If all the martyr*' stakes that have been kindled could be set at proocr distances thej would make the midnight ail the world over bright as noonday! And now they sit yonder in the martyrs' gallery. For tlam the f>res of persecution have cone out: the f words are sheathed and the tnob hushed. Now they watch us with an ill observing sympathy. They know all ike pain, nil the hardship, all the anguuh, ail the injustice, all the privation. They cannot keen still. They cry: "Courage! The tire will not consume; the flood* cannot drown; the lion:: cannot devour. Courage down there in the arena!" What? Are they all looking? This hour we answer back the salutation they give and cry, "Hail, sons and daughters of the fire!" I leak again and I see another gallery? that of eminent Chriitians. What strikes ine strangely in the mixing in companionship of those who on earth could not agree. There is Albert Barnes and around him the presbytery who tried him for heterodoxy! Yonder are Lyman Beecher and the church court that denounced him! Stmnzer than all, there are John Calvin and .fames Arnunius!

And there I lie band of missionariesDavid Abcel. talking of China redeemed: and John Scudder. oi India naved; and David Brainerd. of tlie aborigines evangelized; and Mrs. Adoniram Judson, whose prayers for Burma took heaven by violence! All these Christians are looking into the d<ena. Our struggle is nothing to theinl Do we in Christ's cause suffer from the cold? They walked < Jreenland's icy mountains. Do we suffer from the heat? They sweltered in tropics. Do we get fatigued? They fainted, with none to care for them but cannibals. Are we persecuted? They were anathematized. And as they look from their gallery and see us falter in the presence of the lions 1 <?eem to hear Isaac Watts addressing us in hia old hymn, only a little changed: Must you be carricd to the skies On flowery beds of cu?e While others fougiit to win the prize Or sailed through bloody seas?

While Charles Wesley, the breaks forth in words a little varied: A charge to keep you have, A Uod to glorify. A never dying soul to save And fit it for the ?.ky! T look again and I see the gallery of our departed. Many of tho>e in the other galleries v.e have heard of, but these we knew. Oh. how familiar their faces! They sat at our tables, and we walked to the hou*e of God in company. Have they forgotten us? Those fathers and motheri st.trted us on he road of life. Are they careless j.s to what becomes of us? And those children?do they look with stolid indifference as to whether we wjn or lose this b.utle of life? They remember the day they left us. Thev remember the agony 01 the last farewell. Though years in heaven, they know our faces. They rememher our sorrows. They 8|>eak our " "'"j 'I'liPi* iratcli ?lii? tii/lit for heaven. Nay.

Between the hot struggles in the arena I wine the awcr.t from my brow and stand on tiptoe, reaching up my right hand to clasp theirs in rapturous handshaking, while their voi:-es come ringing down from the gallery, crying.

Charles Meissen, in traveling througn I Slam observed a species of small gray ants which were new to him. These ants were rnnch engaged In traveling; they lived in damp places and went in troops. To his surprise he noticed among them from time to time an occasional ant which was much larger than the others and moved at a much swifter pace, and each of these larger ants, M. Meissen saw, always carried one of the gray ants on its back. This discovery led him to watch their movements closely. lie soon saw that while the tualn body of gray ants was always on foot, they were accompanied by at least one of their own sort mounted on one of these larger ants. He mounted and detached himself now and then from the line, rode rapidly to the head, eame swiftly back to the rear and seemed to be the commander of the expedition. The explorer was satisfied from his observation that this species of ant employs a larger ant?possibly a drone of the same spcde*, though he had no means of proving this?as we employ horses to ride upon, though scarcely more than one ant In each colony seems to be provided with a mount?St. James's Gazette.
