J TV! I / i New York City.?The handkerchief bertha has a peculiar grace and style that separates it from all others. The very charming waist illustrated in WAIST WITH BERTHA. eludes one of the sort and, aleo, the nr>w frnnntlet cuffs with wade, drooping puffs above. As shown it is made of . iolet crepe mousseline, with the yoke and cuffs of chiffon velvet in a deeper shade and trimming of cream lace, but innumerable variations can be arranged. Yoke and cuffs of lace, mousseline lined, are charming, ruches of tiny chiffon flowers make admirable substitutes for the lace applique and many other combinations might be made, while material may be anything soft enough to drape well. The waist is made over a smoothly fitted foundation and e'oses invisibly tt the centre back. The lining is faced to form the yoke when high neck is desired, is cut away on indicated lines when a low effect is preferred.. The bertha is made in handkerchief style. nnintc n t front and back.

The quantity of material required for the medium size is five ana onequarter yards twenty-one inches wide, four yards twenty-seven inches wide, of two and five-eighth yards forty-four inches wide, with one yard of velvet and one-quarter yards of applique to trim as illustrated. New Coals and Wraps. New coats and wraps in cloth, velvet and peau de soie are handsome and substantial garments. Practically all are three-quarter length, against the very long coats worn last year. A large number of light colored wraps are seen. A very elegant wrap of deep cream-colored cloth is faced with satin of the same color, the satin being veiled with accordion pleated brown chiffon, with a border cf ecru lace. The coat is trimmed uround the shoulders, upper sleeves and skirt with alternate rows of narrow and wide brown velvet ribbton. i Exaggerated (jirdleit.

This .corselet was of fellow panne bordered with sable and finished at the upper front point with I a head and tails of the sable. The yellow panne was repeated in applique ornamentation of the double flounced 6kirt and the decolletage. Vandyke Points. The neckband of the fine lawn or lace which has three or five Vandyke points beneath the chin is far morp becoming than that which lias four, or only two. The latter bring the clip or narrow point of the collar directly beneath the chin, which is not becoming, so the collar with an irregular number of Vandykes may be worn with more complacency.

THE GREAT DESTROYER SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT THE VICE OF INTEMPERANCE. rortn How to Sijrn th* Pledf?A Thrill, inc Scene Which Occurred at One of tin* Public Meetings During tfce l'ledge-Signing Crusade. Sign >t 'n truth; with high purpose and pure, Firmly resolved to the end to endure. Sign it in hone; nor fear once 'tis too late, For is closed not on any the temperance gate. Sign it in faith; with thy heart and thy hand Eager to work t'ward the victory planned. .Sigp it with prayer; for thy own strength may fail. But who rests upon God will be sure to prevail. Ripi it with joy; for it pleasure can bring, Far more than strong drink, which at length leaves a sting. Sign it at once; witnout paney or jxiuot, For you ne'er will regret having helped such a cause. A Thrilling Scene. Among the many hopeful signs indicating temperance progress, none more encouraging than the interest eveiywhere taken in the Twentieth Century pledgesigning crusade inaugurated by the Nation Temperance Society. Since that time nearly 3,000,000 pledges have been sent out free by the society in response to applications, and these applications have come from churches and Sabbath schools of all denominations and from all temperance organizations. Now the Epworth League plane a similar pledge-signing crusade. Many of the reports that are being received by the society are deeply interesting. Some of them describe thrilling scenes as witnessed at public meetings. Take the following instance: It was a mixed audience that gathered in the hall; among them was one poor woman who had stolen away from her poverty-stricken, ruined home, where she had left her babies who, weak with hunger, had wept themselves to sleep. With borrowed cloak to hide her destitution this sorrowing woman had found a place among the crowd who had gathered to hear from a stranger how the victims of rum could be saved and their darkened homes made light. With intense interest she listened to the speaker, who, in the tale he recited, was describing her own case. He tells of hope; but no?that never can be hers. If ne, her husband was here, perhaps?and then a deep, deep sigh bursts from her lips; but she listens still, and more intently, to the speaker's moving words, until her heart is full, and looking around to see what effect the words of the speaker have upon her neighbors. What ails the woman? Whom has she seen among the crowd? Her cheeks are flushed with burning crimson and her eyes are bright with living fire. It is?it must be him! She cannot be mistaken in him. Yes, 'tis her husband. Far back amongst the crowd he stands with folded arms, nis eaze intent upon the speaker's face; deep earnestness is stamped cn every feature as lie gazes on. i See, he dashes a tear-drop from his eye. What has moved? The simple story of a woman's faith?a wounding patience. The wffe watches him. She sees him dash away the tear-drop. A gathering mist is in her own eyes, hut she forgets it all; for-gets all but her other self. aCow the speaker closes, and there is a stirring among the crowd. Stepping down from the platform the speaker takes his place by a table on which is an opei? book, and in kindly, persuasive tones invites the audience to sign the pledge. Make way! The figure of a man advances down the aisle. Steadily he presses his way to tne table. .Behind that tigure is a female form?a shadow, a- pale, faded thir.7. so feeble that she cannot stand, but leans upon his shoulder with one band clasping hie arm. "There, I have signed!" exclaims the man, "and now, my wife, come home and let us pray to-night." Stop but one moment. What a nand is hers? So thin, eo trembling; yet she grasps as if it were a rod of iron to inscribe deep words of mercy on the rock forever. They pass out together?that penniless and friendless pair, t-trong in each other's truth, rich in each other's love. Weeks glide away?months?and to-day they are now so happy; blest with a beautiful home and rosy children. Such ar? the scenes which cheer on every hand the laborers in this pledge-signing crusade.?The National Advocate. A "Word to the Boy*. What do you think, young friends, ?f the hundreds of thousands who are trying to cheat themselves and others into the belief that alcoholic drinks are good for them? Are they to be pitied and not blamed? Do you want to be one of those wretched men? If we are to have drunkards in the future, some of them are to come from the boys to whom I am writing; and I ask you again if you want to be one I j ? ui "> ui mem; iiu, ui tuuise you uom: wen, 1 have a plan for you that is just as sure to save you from such a fate as the sun is to rise to-morrow morning. It never failed; it never will fail; ana I think :t worth knowing. Never touch liquor in any form. That is the plan, and it is not only worth knowing, but it is worth putting in practice. I know you don't drink now, and it seems to you as if you never would. But your temptation will come, and will probably come in this way: You will fiud yourself some time with a number of companions, and they will have a bottle oi wine on the table. They will drink and offer it to you. They will retard it as a manly practice, and very likely they will look upon you as a milksop if you don't indulge witn them. Then what will you do? Eh, what will you do? Will you nay, "No, no! none of that stuff for me! I know a trick worth half a dozen of that!" or will you take a glass with your own common sense protesting, and your conscience making the whole draught bitter, and a feeling that you have damaged yourself, and then go off with a hot head and a skulking soul that at once begins to make apologies for itself, and will keep d-nng so all this life? Boys, do not become drunkards.? J. G. Holland. A Growing lden. North Carolina Baptist, Fayeiteville, .nays: "The average magazine of to-day i? cursing the people with flashy liquor advertisements. To advertise the stuff is to wish success to the advertiser. And his success means failure, shame and ruin to many people. We want to see a crusade against this kind of advertising. Public opinion, rightly directed, can slop these advertisements." Th( Crusade in Brief. u'he United States drinks enough liquor each year to float all her battleships. If ever hater of the drink evil and friends of temperance would give regularly even a trifle to the reform, tlie movement would make rapid progress. Through the great Waehingtoiiian movement in Ohio 00,000 took the pledge. In Pennsylvania 29.000; in Kentucky, 30,000, and multitudes in all parts of the land. If Christian business men would cease to be so everlastingly timorous in thenopposition to the saloon power the bright day when the rumsellers would be cowed would dawn more speedily. In the great battle against intemperance and vice many Christians prefer u toy pistol to a Krupp gun. ' We license men to sell drink. The drink 6old makes men drunk. The drunkard commits murder. The murderer js hanged. Who is responsible? To legalize the saloon Is. moral robbery, intedectual ruin and spiritual suicide. Does your vote help to legalize it? The vote of the American citizen is one. of the greatest moral levers, or one of the greatest crime force^ in our civilization. Alderman White, of Birmingham, epeaking at Cardiff, said: ''I could give you 100 cases, and 100 after that, and 100 after that, of men who have come under my notice who have iiecome trophies of Divine grace through the simple ait of Bigning the pledge and keeping ;t."

The horse meat is somewhat darker and stronger than beef, but it is not unpalatable. It has grown in popularity since the siege. The flesh of the horse and the ass is about half the price of beef, but the former is becoming dearer. Used up horses that have worked for eight or ten years in the city are purchased for $50, put out to graze for a few weeks and are then led to the slaughter house. In some departments, such as the Nord, there is a scarcity of horses for farm work.?New York Sun. Snake Killed !>> a Mouse.

The next day the snake was found to be dead, and there was evidence that It bad been attacked and killed by tbe mouse, wbicli was alive, and bad eaten a part of the snake's body.
