With all the luxuries and pleasures of | this life, its big enjoyments and its smaller comforts, there is an offset or antithesis which we have to contend with in the j form of aches and pains. In some way and j by some means every one has a touch of j them in some form at some time. Trifling j as some of them may be. the risk is that j they will grow to something greater and j rack the system with constant torture, j There is nothing, therefore, of this kind j that we have a right to trifle with. Taken ) in time, the worst forms of pains and | aches are easily subdued and cured j by the free use of St. Jacobs Oil. No well regulated household ought to be j without a bottle of this great remedy for j pain.

Turnovers anil Collars. Many of the new hand-wrought colJars are not turnovers at ail, but merely supplementary collars with tabbed or pointed fronts. These are usually curved at the top in front, and are worn flat over a foundation or dress collar, or without any support. Some of these are made in heavy linen with raised embroidery in white, and these have body enough to hold them up in shape, but the finer ones need some support. The tabs upon many of these flat coliars reach almost A LATE DESIGN ] to the waist and usually broaden towards the bottom.

Hitherto a ribbon was a strip of 6ilk. satin, or velvet, generally chosen in a color to contrast with the garment with which it was to be worn. This is all changed, and this year ribbons will not only match the gown in color, but in fabric as well. To meet this edict of fashion there are the most exquisite ribbons fashioned from the A ^ ~ -tliicr cnm. maienuis iu i/t* ujuai ^puiui umc mer for dresses. There are ribbons of white silk muslin, decorated with gold; chiffon ribbons strewn with flower designs, ribbons of pongee, of linen and of crash and ribbons of net and grenadine, bordered with velvet or with satin. The possibilities of these rilv bons in the way of trimmings is a1 once apparent, for, although tliej match the gown, the necessary coloi note is given in the color decoration of the ribbons themselves. Gowns For Occasions. Demi-toilette gowns with semi-high corsages are those usually worn at theatres or small dinners. These this season are made in various shades of mousseline de soie, crepe de chine, or in anv of the new tilmv materials for evening wear. One particularly charming was carried out in black chiffon over a foundation of ivory satin. The bodice was artistically draped, Gchu fashion, with long ends failing down in front and at the bnck. The waist line was defined by a jeweled girdle, which tastefully held in the fullness there. The sleeves were of the variety known as angel shaped, and the neck was tilled in with needle-point lace. The skirt, closely gathered into the waist, flared out below into large flounces. ' c ! " a , Spring Tailor Made?. r ' There are some pretty ideas to be ^ * found in the spring tailored suit.

I DISCOURSE ENTITLED 1 ULTIMATE AMERICA.". i Patriotic Address by the Iter. J. Alexander Jenking, Pastor of Immannel Congregational Church?This Country the Spiritual Teacher of the Nations. Brooklyn, n. Y.?In Temple Israel the lev. J. Alexander Jenkins, pastor of Iraaanuel Congregational Church, delivered n address to a large audience on "Ultiaate America, the Spiritual Teacher of he Nations." He said among other things: It is a commonplace of the newer thinktig that the evolutionary process culmintes in the soul of man, the whole mighty jovement being satisfactorily explained, ccording to the thinking of the theistic volutionist, when matter endowed with ife and perfected through countless genertions, has at last given to the mind of the uman being the instrument for the elementary exercises of its endless life. The truggles of the ages are justified in the soul, 'he student of history is perplexed as he ears the groanings and witnesses the traaiiings of the nations through the centur;s, and his natural and legitimate query, 8 he beholds the rise and fall of nations, i, Where lies the goal of the peoples and rhat justifies the toils and agonies of the ace? The answer to this inevitable que6 ion is tms: AJmignty uoa js leading xne ations toward the goal of the highest life, nd the struggles of the ages find justificaion in the birth of the world-soul. And if be fact that God breathed into man's nosrils the breath of life, so that he became living soul is sufficient recompense for be bloody brute battles of the "world's ray dawn, the thought that He will reathe a soul into the nations should likerise be deemed ample compensation for be gropings and grapplings of the aspirnts for national permanency and supremcy. The American colonists were not the rst men to fight for independence, but the lotives that produced the Declaration of ndependence made their fight epoch larking as no other fight had ever been. Ither nations had given up slavery, but o nation was ever before called upon to urnish so awful a proof of sincerity of lotive in striking the shackles from the mbs of the enslaved. Other nations have ad to deal 'with the problem of undesirble aliens, but no nation ever felt as feels imerica the imperativeness of a course of ction based upon righteousness and jusice. Other nations have seized the terriory of the weak and heirless, but none as felt such deep, unselfish solicitude for dependent people as has characterized ur country in her dealings with a primiive -neotile committed to her care as the utcome of her intervention in the intersts of humanity. Other nations have had t> effect adjustments between employer nd employe, but no nation has ever been ailed upon to effect such an adjustment ;hen the conditions presented revealed so learly the fact that a great principle of niversal importance is involved. The setlement of tne "labor problem" in demoratic America means the setlement for the rorld, for here the employer of the highst type meets the worker of the highest ype, and the final result will be in keepog with the character of the contestants. So we are learning the lesson of deliberteness; and one of the most promising igns of the times is the tendency to deal nth great questions cautiously and calmly, 'he result of this course will be that what he new America settles will stay settled, ihe will settle, and that for all time, the uestion of the rights of inferior peoples, he question as to the character of the eduation most to be desired, the question of he relation of employer to employed. America is to-day solving the accumulated iroblems of the ages. And God is willing i. - i - i- - _i u i?i: Licit sue siiuuiu nave nine tu vuujpicic ticx ask. In view of what has been said, it will trike us as a fact of solemn import that ur country is preparing for her yet larger ervice through the slow, constant development of her religious consciousness. The xistence and growth of this consciousness he superficial observer of our life and*inlitutions might feel inclined to deny. Jevertheless, we are convinced that this lost necessary condition lor present and uture leadership exists. Where shall we seek for this religious onsciousness? Shall we look for it in the restitutions set apart as avowedly religjus? No man has the right to scoff at oranized religion. Our schools, our churches, ur synagogues are, on the whole, true to heir mission. But the truly effective reigious consciousness must be found in ther places as well?in the editorial sancum, in the political gathering, in the mart nd the busy street. Let us find this conciousness in these places, no matter what f-c fnrm finrl wp have AQ crnnfl a crn.T ntee of the divine favor as though we had azed upon owrflowing houses of worship nd listened to the eloquence of the elect. ?he religious spirit which makes for Amerzan pre-eminence may be discerned in nany phases of the national life, but it i9 trikingly evident in the new press, the iew politics and the new social ideal, inhere are many, doubtless, who would not oncede that tne press of the country furlishes an evidence of growing national ighteousness, but the fact remains, that in he newspapers of our land there is a disinct trend toward righteousness and godin ess. The truthfulness and force of our presnt contention will seem to many hard to econcile with the well-known fact that in he United States the avowedly religious ournals are steadily losing ground. But ven this fact, rightly interpreted, is not n evidence of national decay. The religrtiic nnnprc nf fn-rlav hnvp a nhnirf* hpfwppn legeneration and evolution. The signs of legeneration are stubborn adherence to delominational shibboleths, fierce championhip of exhausted dogmas and growing im^ atience with progressive interpretation of ruth. The signs of evolution are the hrowing overboard of useless issues, and he adoption of the leading features of the ;reat "secular" papers. Tl>e great reiigous papers of the country to-day are sucn n name only. Were the contents of one if these papers rearranged and printed in >ewspaper form it would paes as a news>aper, minus the newsDaper's up-to-date reshness. In the secular press, on the ither hand, there is steady progress and ncreasing vitality. The moral tone of the American people is reflected in the new ournalism, and the fact that the citizens if the republic desire righteousness is patnt to all who seek the underlying motives if journalistic enterprise of the highest vpc. And this fact is most significant when we remember that these great ageniec of publicity, free discussion and eduction have a direct bearing upon the shapng of the ideals of the inflowing millions >f our population. The spirit of the imerican journalism is communicated to he Americanized representatives of these oreign peoples, and they in turn give it o their dependent fellows through the colimns of their publications. We have no ight to assume that papers published in oreign toncues stand for Old World anirchy; we snould, the rather, heartily con ede the fact that these journals, printed n Italian, German, Hebrew, Welsh and ither languages, constitute a great mislionary agency for doing foundation work n Americanism and altruism. Indeed, the rery fact that our citizens in the making agerly grasp these informing agencies is a irophecy of great things to come. We lave here no isolated, lethargic, self-satisied aggregation of human beings, but we lave millions of men who are being inipired by the air of a free country and by ler institutions. The newspapers in the lands of these men are as banners waving 'ncouragement to faraway nations lying in larkness and distress. When we come to speak of the new American politics we invite the ridicule of nose wao see in American pontics ai us jest only a crude "shirt-sleeve diplomacy," md at its worst a contemptible system of oot and graft. And the self-sat istied critc8 of our political life ignore their own inconsistency in that they expect a governnent which they take pains to tell us is 'only an experiment" to run with the smoothness of an old governmental machine. The man who is content to, live in t primitive cabin, subject to the limitations )f a semi-barbaric life, may have tranquility and peace of a certain kind, but he should be the last person to scoff at the man who is battling against heavy odds for better and more adequate accommoda ) tions. A9 a nation -we are building the better house. We have found that it costs 1-1 J 1.1 J j. :l_ c iuuui aiiu uiuuu iu btruuic ttic aitc iui uui i ix . edifice, that our material, cut from the j *s forests of the Old World, is rough and un- | seasoned; that sometimes our workers fail j to enter unselfishly into the spirit of the j tl enterprise. We at times discover, too, that j we have not followed correctly the plan of j , the great architect, and then it becomes j necessary for us to humble ourselves by i ri tearing down part of the structure. But, | after all, the building grows, and its pro- j j)l portions already begin to challenge the ad- j miration of the world. The critic, as he 0] sits at the cabin door of monarchy or aris- ir tocracy, begins with vague alarm to con- g tast the cracked and crumbling walls and . the leaking thatch of his abode with th? rising mansion in the distance. o: The nation's social ideal makes inexor- | V able demands upon every citizen of the re- j y public. The world of to-day marvels at j _ Vif> mafrblpRS benefactions of our men ol I " wealth, and the nations are asking why it n is that this unprecedented philanthropy is t, so peculiarly American. It is due to the . imperative claims of our social ideal. Pub- 11 lie sentiment demands, and men of wealth tl recofrnize the demand as just, that private ! s wealth should be spent for the good of the D nation and for *he good of the race. The educator feels the same pressure. He hears the voice of the people summoning him to a free search for truth. The true labor leader recognizes the same stern call to ser- ; a vice; so he becomes a mediator, an arbi- n trator between two great forces. The old story in the good Book tells us that a v Eabel a mighty calamity befell the race? c that there the speech of mankind became ; s confused. In this land of ours Babel is re- } . versed. The nations arfe here assembled I 1 to build the greater tower of truth, and 3 the confusion of the Babel tongues gives j c place little by little to a new language, the i * language of love,, spoken by tne toiling i millions, so that in a sweeter, grander i sense than ever before it is to be true that e the whole earth shall be "of one language \ and of one speech." , Thalea of old, with so shadowy a conception of God that we know not whether E to classify him as atheist or as theist, yet (] strangely conceived of deity as creating j, the great world temple and so possessing i it as to reveal in its every part the pres- j B ence of the Creator. The world of our j <3 time may seem strangely indifferent to j ^ that presence of God which the seers of J , the race feel to be the most tremendous | fact of life. But the world will not remain ? forever content with mere things. The \ time is to come when the nations must feel the Divine Presence. When that time comes the cry of the peoples will be, "Wherewith shall we come before the ! Lord?" God grant that in that solemn j f day of the world's supreme need it may be | j granted unto us as tne teacher of the na- I . tions to shout the great reply: "He hath showed you, 0 nations, what is good; and f what doth the Lord require of you but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God." P?o<afln9 Pnwof. _ When a physician is called to a eaaft of severe illness, the first thing that he r estimates is the resisting power of the pa- ( tient. The chances for his recovery are I , in proportion to his vitality. If there be | . little of that at the outset there is small j 1 hope of overcoming the disease. The re- ! sisting power of persons in full health is i such that in an epidemic they throw off | j the disease germs that prostrate others. I . One cannot always tell from appearances ' just how much ability one has to withstand I the inroads of a malady.. Some who ap- | parently are robust almost immediately . succumb, while others who look frail re- ' cover from violent attacks. Of course, dissipation, unhygienic living, unhealthful i surroundings sap one's resisting power, so ( that when a virulent ailment makes an j attack one has strength insufficient to fight it off. You see that it is not so much the malignancy of the disease as it is the vital- i ity of the man that determines the re- i suit. Just so it is also in the moral world. ! There are some persons living lives so up- | right, so spiritually healthy, that they are practically immune from temptation. And when they are overcome, they soon discover themselves, for their power of resi6- , tance is great. On the other hand, there arc those who after succumbing to one temptation are completely swept away by ! the power of evil. How can that be ac- | counted for? Obviously in the same way that the ability to resist physical disease i is to be explained. There has been unwholesome moral living; the mind has been permitted to become familiar with evil thoughts; the soul has breathed in miasma and corruption until one has no ability to put away temptation. All this suggests tne neeu ui kd?uu6 , power both against disease and against j sin. A pure, clean, wholesome life, physi- j cal and moral, will make one secure i against any harm that either can do. , Two New Elements. There are two elements in every successful man's life, says an exchange, the human and the divine. It takes a great vai riety of experience to make us complete I and fitted to do the greatest good. It is a j good thing for a person early in life to j ! learn to consult the divine will and find ! I from God. Yet God's leadings upward I I would have been of no avail had David I J not been prepared to use them. David is j an illustration of the benefit of being ! trained to work. His home training was in at atmosphere of piety and intelligence, and his daily duties with the sheep was a training in business, courage and government. David is a striking example of faithfulness in lesser things. Life is full | of tests of character, and the wise person derives good from every source. He make9 | everything contribute to the building up J | of his character and his work. ] ' Always at Our Side. Mrs. Lucy Rider Meyer, tnc well-known I Jonrl xrrJfpr *nvs: ] UCttlUIltOO uuu ......., "A busy woman entered her own room ' I as twilight shades were falling?went directly to he:r desk, turned on the gas, and j began to write. Page after page she wrote, j The solitude became oppressive. She j wheeled her chair around and with a shock i of jo}rful surprise looked squarely into the f face of her dearest friend, lying on the i ; lounge at her side. "Why, I didift know | you were here!" she cried. "Why didn't j you speak to me?" "Because you were so j ! busy. You didn't speak to me." So with ' Jesus?here all the time.

The very suggestion of wrong seems I I to bring pollution with it. The poor, tempted soul feels as U it must dc vcj y | bad indeed and very far off from God to j have such thoughts and suggestions. It j is the enemy's grand ruse for entrapping us. But it is no more a sin to hear these whispers of evil in our souls than to hear the wicked talk of bad men as we walk along the street.
