This one is peculiarly charming aud is made of mercerized batiste with a yoke made of bandings of the material held by fagotting and is trimmed with Teneriffe wheels. The material being washable, the lining is omitted, but when silk or wool fabrics are used, the fitted foundation is in every way to be desired. When likod the yoke can be of all-over material, or it can be. made from either lace or other ornamental banding held together by stitchings or by banding of a contrasting sort. The waist consists c.f the fitted lining, front, backs and yoke. Both the waist and sleeves ar~ laid in fine tucks, J A LATE DE-flQM B which are stiv.-lj'-d for a portion of their length only ami which provide i>oft fullness below. The yoke is separate and arranged over the waist, the losing being made at the centre back. The quantity of material required for the medium fcizc- is four and onequarter yards twenty-one inches wide, three and three-quarter yards twentyfceven inches wide, or two and one-half yards forty-four inches wide, with fifteen yards of banding, or one yard of all-over material eighteen inches wide for yoke and cuffs and one-half yard of silk for belt. Color in Waists. Color, if employed at all in the design, should go with the dark and medium toned waists, and of these, both as to shade and texture, there are samples galore from which to make a selection. Possibly the pale tans and biscuit colors are most enticing, and with these you may consistently work in monchrome effects. There are some very fetching lavender tint6 and blues that will stand color; in fact, the more pronounced the color of the waist, tie more bold your design may be. Coarse linens are exceedingly stunning when .embroidered in heavy thread, and will not look amiss with a bold dash of color here and there. For Auto Wtar.

Y.?Having bpon ap- " minted Presiding Elder of the New York < District of the New York East Conference, _ ,he Rev. Dr. John E. Adams, pastor of Tj jirace M. E. Church, preached his closing sermons Sunday. During his pastorate of .] i little more than two years he has. had narked success. The debt of the church, tj (20,000, was canceled in January, 1903, the nortgagc burned and the church is now -j Vee from incumbrance. Sunday morning i)r. Adams preached on "An Advance Or- y lered." The text was from Exodus xiv: .1 5: "Speak unto the children of Israel, ' hat they go forward." Dr. Adams said: j When this advance was ordered, the Is- ? aelites were encamped on the coast of t lie Red Sea. Before them was the sea r0 rnr-nnrl rvnf fr?r milpc ariH Ipho-iipc !Jn/l i md neither bridge nor boat, nor pontoon L >y which to cross it. Behind them was / ^ he army of Pharaoh, with horses and ^ hariots, with trained warriors and skilled n omrnanders, intent on their capture or ^ lestruction. On either side, it would seeni, ^ vere formidable obstructions?mountains, >r fortresses, or something that could not )e passed?for the Israelites saw no wayl t] >f escape and cried out for fear. In this/ lerilous and apparently hopeles9 situation} ^ he people reproached Moses for the dread* ul extremity to which they had been ret ? luced; whereupon that holy man appealed ^ o God for help, and then came, probably n tones of thunder that sounded in the ^ iars of all the people full and clear abovfe ^ he roar of the sea, this strange order: 'Wherefore criest thou unto Me? Speak into the children of Israel that they go crward." ? Leaving now the literal narrative, ex- tl :ept as we may have occasion to recur to u t incidentally, let us attend to the moral neanings and uses of the text. The case >efore us is exceptional in nothing but the >hysical facts; the moral truths and unlerlying principles of this case are always md everywhere present among the people I' >f God. Indeed, the principles here in- &' solved are so general and the analogies of iniversal history are so wide and complete hat I think we are justified in regarding ;his text as the law of the universe1 ap- 11 died to the church. The physical occalsion >f this text, in all of its essential features, P inds its duplicate in the moral occasion \ if this service. We are the children of >9 Israel ourselves. I can prove it by St. tl >aul: "If. ye be Christ s, then i|e ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to he promise." The Red Sea is before us. E1 'Jot that Red Sea that washes the ssJids of w ^r^bia and floats the commerce Ji the ni Cast, but the Red Sea of moral hinwrance w -a sea that is deeper than the .Atlantic )cean and -wider than the Pacific.

Such is on r eitua- ?i ion this very hour, and as we staa 1 to-day ol .mid these threatening environnw nts, the r< aptain of our salvation calls to us from ? teaven, "Go forward," and in o bedience w o this order lies our duty, our safety and >ur happiness. I Let us apDroach our subject I step by ta tei^ God is the author of the [universe. P' Hie universe existed in the Divine Mind w 3 an ideal before it existed in itself as sc , substance. The ideal was coirplete and C{ lerfect as well as beautiful and good; but 01 he first states of the actual v ~i verse did as lot realize that perfect ideal cf the Diine Mind. What then? Did God fail? a )id His active energv nrove unequal to vi lis beneficent intentions? By no means. C? rod gave the universe this imperfect, form yf t first, not because He could net do other- J rise and had to abandon His ideal but beause He saw it better to realise His ideal radually through the law of progress than 'e o realize iC suddenly by an ict of crea- P< ive power. Deliberately ai d of His own vi olition God made the universe a crude " lass of unorganized matter and force; nd then, intr-sting Iiis subl ine work to he law of progress operated by respon- ? ible intelligences, He directed that in due n< ime all should be reduced to order, bar- }v aony and beauty. This is 'ie 6tory of the 'n iniverse in its entirety and in its parts, bi .'his is the story of the worlds and of their cc iroductions. This is the story of minerals, egetables and animals; of general species ai nd individuals; of angels, women and re icn. This is the story of matter in all its ^ ombinations, of life in all its forms, and " f mind in all its phenomena. This, in m irief, so far as we have yet learned, is the ?' tory of all creation, and of all proDaga- 1" ion. I M Let me illustrate what I mean by the P ak. God's ideal for the oak is a majestic ? ree, six feet in diameter and ten feet in ^ eight, witlj mighty roots taking deep old of the rocks and mighty branches Vj weeping the clouds?a very giant that can tj. trestle with the storms and play with the 1 ightnings. But in its beginning, as it tj. nrouts from the acorn., the oak is a tiny hoot which the foot of a little child could jn Ifectually crush. God mikes it thus and ni ays to it, "Go forward;" and then the lit- fa le plant, obedient to the Divine com- jj. uand, through cloud and sunshine and n( hanging season, soon goes on and out and 'tj ip, .until at last, by means of the law of | j irogress in the form of growth, it has ulfilled the word of God, and stands beore the eyes of men in all the imposing randeur of its towering and solid maturity., lake the eagle as another illustration. iod's ideal for the eagle is an imperial fird of great size and strength, with mazing keenness^of^ vision and with pin- ,fi or a lor majesuc nigiu, tiie mountain crag j ts castle, and its pleasure ground the sky. Such is the Divine ideal for this noble . , iird. But the young eaglet emerges from he shell a feeble little creature, and if r ou could see it during the first week or wo of its existence, and could stroke with . out hand its soft yellowish down and ? ook into its pale bluish eyes, its feebleiesB would probably excite your pity. But & the little thing feeds and exercises, it TOWs and strengthens, until at last, un- i ler the operation of this law of progress, i t can soar from the nest, launch into the JJi ir, gaze directly into the noonday sun, .] teat down the storm clouds under its ? even foot spread of wings, and sail from | ontinent to continent, through the oceans i azure above, over the oceans that roll lelow. But in this discission we must rise out e? if life into mind, and then still ascend "" rom the intellectual to the spiritual. We " will, therefore, consider man as an illusration of the tnth we are pursuing. Sod's ideal for man is a most exalted and ublime being, witb mental and moral enlowments of trenendoue scope, so im- m neasurably .superior in parts and powers Y< o all else we know, that it seems the whole ti reation must culminate in him. God de- n< igned man in His own image, intended T. lim for commurion and companionship w with Himself, determined to make him His 'ice-regent here on the earth, and pro- 0 losed at last to share the government of ch he universe with Him forever. The bought of suen dignity is an astonishing cl nH lr\rt V*.?f r?n ,MV? ? li^.ujjug VUllliCjJIrlUM* UUl/ HUHIIIIU | "? ess than this i^ God's ideal for man, if J ead the Scriptrres aright. But the distarce between inception and it !omp]etion is greater liere than elsewhere, dj lot onJy became man is destined to rise e? ligher than other creatures, but also be- si ause he begins lower. It is a well-known 11 act that the young of the human species s inferior ui strength and activity to the m oung of many jf the lower animals. True, tl: re walk round the cradle of the sleeping nfant with scft. and reverent step, and ui his is fitting. Heaven itself looks down in human infancy with reverence. I doubt ar f it is too strcng to say that God stations el; i quaternion o: guardian angek at the four T orners of every little crib in the land. D Jut the revtjfence with which we regard he child arises from a prophetic instinct if what the child will be, rather than from ,ny perceptim of what it now is. The huma| baby is the absolute extreme na |f feeblenesi helplessness and ignorance, is ,t cannot &tfnd, nor walk, nor evea creep, tb J:. ^ 1 t rir.not think. It does not know.

Though beanCT'iS to the Kingdom of God, it knows s Tittle of God as Herbert Soencer used o insist he and the rest of mankind knew, t ife nothing but a bundle of unconscious rganized life, with inherent capabilities oil yet manifest. It hasn't ability enough o {recognize itself, nor will it ever have iepory enough to remember itself at this tofge of its bein^ Were it not for that rit miracle of Providence in human life -tfhe mother's love?it would perish from bfc earth on the day of its birth. But waitt a little and see. Waif, until Me mother's fostering cire, and the fathrj's disciplinary training, and the instrucpn of the schools and the churches, and 11 the various appliances of Christian civization have wrought their vast part in Dnnection with the universal law of depigment and progress?and then observe lie child, now become the man. How onderful and indescribable the result! bat little child now stands erect and sureys the high places of the earth. He limbs the heights, and, walking with God n the horns of the mountains, he sureys the heavens. He counts the stars nd calls them by their names. He knows e is superior to suns and systems. His eart thrills with pulsations that are ugntier tnan ocean currents or solar muences. He sees. He knows. He ?nerstands. He reasons. He feels within iniself the mighty mastery. He calls out o God, and God answers him. The seep* re is already in his hand, and thejerown ! in sight that the Son of Man ill soon place on his brow. Hencefortfe e is king, and alive foreverraore, with a fe that will rule the world and oonquer eath. Such is the law of progress which is ere applied to the church, both collecvely and individually. We are here solmnly commanded to "rise up and seize our lheritance. Never before in all the ages as there such a concurrent blast of trumets from all quarters of the globe calling tie church to go forward. Let the coimns form and the match begin. Great Work. The best work of the world has been one by men who magnified their office. h in nnr> tliinir for . ? mnn tn have .in exatr erated sense of bin personal importance; is quite another thing, anil vastly wiser, >r a man to have an exalted sense df the icred character of his office^ his mission i the world. Any work is great if it only fit into the Ian of a well-ordered and beneficent life. Mat constitutes the greatness of a work i not the nature of the work itself, but le spirit in it, the purpose of it. A young man about to graduate from it mechanical engineering course in a reat university emisted in the Spanish ar. He became a common soldier and ever got farther than Chattanooga. It as there he wrote to a friend: "I am loeing Government horses; not a very tractive occupation, but anything I can t) is in the line of duty, and I am consnt." Such a mind as that dignifies the umblest labor. "The line of duty''?it is -raight, but it leads straight to peace and ower. The common tasks of life are not com.on when looked upon through obedient ffcfl. Every man's work is noble if it be is work. And since the majority of ua we our lives in fields where God alone aserves our course, it is well for us to member that character is the result of le methods we employ and of the spirit e exemplify in doing ordinary things. School days are more important than ley seem to the scholar who slights his Lsks and tries to see with bow httle apication he can "get through." When he rites a line in a copybook he is writing lifo v?/\f <l/?nfpn/?p VlA >pies, but himself. He is making a reeled, good or bad. He will go through life i he goes through school. The apprentice thinks he is getting only trade in the workshop, but he is getting istly more. He is acquiring habits of irelessness or of thoroughness. The clerk ho came to his work ten minutes late and made it lip by leaving his work ten mintes early" is losing more than his employ loses. The employer loses the equivanfc of a little time; the clerk is losing )wer, loyalty, his grasp of things most iluable. Lis hold o.i the bijrgest factor ia le problem of life, namely, laith. Some one asked a philanthropist: "What 5 we need most in order to accomplish lis or that reform?" He replied: "We jed a man's life blood." That is exactly hat all great tasks need?the spirit that quires not "What can I get out of this':"' it "What can I put into it; what of mrage, wisdom, self-denial?" All truly patriotic work, all educational id charitable work, all humanitarian and hgious work, is great in so far as they ho do it give themselves to it, put ail iere? is of them into it. The most tre^dous work ever given to man is that ' extending the kingdom of God, bui'.dg the invisible church of Jesus Christ, [ore depends upon it; greater and more :rmanent good issues from it. Lucy Lareom, in an "Arbor Day Poem," aises the philanthropy of one who plants tree that may give shelter or fruit to the lildren of a coming age. I would cele ate the philanthropy of all who plant le seeds or xruin in numan ncarus. jl ould wreath the brows of all who shape ie lives of others so that they are fit to .Ice their places as living stones in the risig temple of a new humanity.

"I GRve Them Myself." Said a mothe" to me one day: "Whejj y children were young I thought the ;ry best thing I could do for them was > give them myself. So I spared no lins to talk to them, to read to them, to aeh them, to pray with them, to be a ving companion and friend to my chilren. "I had to neglect my house often.

I have enty of time now to sit down and rest, enty 01 time to keep my house in order, enty of time to indulge myself, besides )ing about my Master's business wher,-er He has need of me. I have a thound memories of their childhood to com>rt me. Now that they have gone out to the world, I have the sweet coniousness of having done all I could to ake them ready for whatever work God ills them to do."?Life ancl Faitk. Covering Sins. There are two ways of covering sin? an's way and God's way. You cover >ur sins, and they will have a resurrecon some time; let God cover them, and ?ither devil nor man can lind them. here are four expansions in the Bible ith regard to where God puts sins: He puts them behind His back. If od has forgiven me, who shall bring a targe against me? He ha3 blotted them out as a thick oud. You see a cloud to-night, and toorrow there isn't a cloud to be seen. He casts them into the depths of the a. Some one has said, "Thank God that is a sea and not a river; a river might y up, but the sea cannot." The greatit blessing that ever comes to me this tie of heaven is when God forgives me. ave you been forgiven? The fourth expression is that Tie reoves them as far as the East is from ie West. Do you know how far that is? erhaps some good mathematician will fig e that 115. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful \d just to forgive us our sins, and to eanse us from all unrighteousness."' hen make sure that you are forgiven.? . L. Moody. Two Kej?.

A Story About Balfour. Premier Balfour has his pleasant i sallies with members of Parliament now and then. John Morley took him to task some weeks ago for lax attendance in the House of Commons. Mr. Balfour denied that there was any disinclination on his part to attend the j sittings or to listen to the debates. On 1 the contrary, he declared, some of the j I moments of greatest repose that he i could snatch from a somewhat stren- I uous and laborious official career were I those spent on the treasury bench lis- : ! tening to his oratorical friends. To Keep Her Baby. A Chicago mother has adopted a j novel plan for keeping before her the image of her daughter at various ages. When her daughter Mignon was a mere baby she began to take a regular series of photographs, which she has continued ever since. Up to the present time she has taken in all about 400 photographs, all entirely different in pose. Together they comprise probably the most complete child's portrait gallery in the world.

From Rome the art of making leavened bread was slowly introduced si among tbe northern nations, and ev- a en at tbe present time, .'.n upper Nor- at way and Sweden, in FiLland, Iceland n< and Siberia, fermented bread Is but er seldom used, except among the higher pi classes. In many parts of Sweden 5C rye cakes as bard as wood are baked twice r. year and form the common bread of the poorer classes. In Scotland, up to a reccnt period, barley ban- " nocks and oaten cakes were the ordinary bread of the people. J b; Football In 1424. On the statute book cf Scotland is still an act pased in 1424, ordering that te "no man play at futeball," because it is gj "esteemed to be unprofitable sport for Cl the common gude of the realme and w defense thereof." There is also a statute against alien immigration, passed in 1426, and authorizing "ill his Majesty's good subjects" to "take, appre- oi hend, imprison and execute to death 0 the said Egiptians (gypsies;, either men w or women." , tc Alcohol For Automobiles. Within recent years the production U of alcohol in Germany has been stimu- (K lated by beneficial legislation, whereby = for industrial purposes it is free cf revenue duty, and the result has been that in addition to an extensive use in chemical and manufacturing processes it is being increasingly employed for small internal combustion motors. Alcohol has been found particularly useful for automobiles, and as the combustion under full load is practically complete, there are no offensive odors as in the case of gasoline and naphtha. Since gasoline has a higher heat of combustion than alcohol in the ratio of two to one, to perform the same work a greater weight of the latter is required, but this is diminished by the' A fact that with alcohol a greater amount | of heat is obtained in the form of B work. Consequently, it takes four P parts of alcohol by -rcight to accomrvlieVi (bo enmo imfrnnt of wnrl; ns thrpf* I '?"?" f parts of petroleum, and the question 1 resolves itself into one of cost, in Ger- C many this being in favor of alcohol.
