r New York City.?The popularit; of the Eton jacket appears to in crease week by week and month b; month, and it not alone is a favorit of the moment, but is predicted fo <ihe coming as well as the presen season. This one is exceedingl; charming and attractive and is ap propriate for silk, light weight woo and similar materials, whether use< as a part of a suit or a separate fc I ? .> I ;wrap. Also it can be made fron cashable materials, such as linen pique and the like. In reality it i: quite simple, but the trimming is s< arranged as to give a vest effect. Ir the illustration nut brown taffeta is .trimmed with bands of the materia embroidered in shades of brown witl pouches of gold, but various combi nations might be suggested. Tlx shaped bands can be either of tlx same or contrasting material, anc either embroidered or trimmed ir any way that may be liked. The jacket is made witn rroni! and back, all of which are tuckec and stitched with belding silk. Th< trimming bands are shaped and ar< arranged over the jacket on indi cated lines, leaving the narrov space at the front that suggests th< vest. The sleeves are the prett: ones that extend just below the el bows and are tucked at their lowei edges, where they are completed b; bands that match those upon th< jacket. The quantity of material require* for the medium size is four and i quarter yards twenty-one, three an< a half yards twenty-seven or tw< yards forty-four inches wide, witl seven and three-quarter yards of nar row braid and two and a half yard ? * i %ji lac't" iui xiiii2>.

Take r a little sailor shape, for instance, of pale blue chip. Use for its trimming a delicate gray wing; fasten the wing to che right side of the crown with two flat rosettes of white maline, edged with a narrow little pleating of silver ribbon. The wing should be caught between the rosettes. Now. to give the hat the character it needs, add a beauty touch of many loops of black velvet ribbon at the back. Another smart combination of color to use in a hat of this sort is to have the hat itself cream color, the wing white and the rosette white, edged with a little pleating of gold ribbon. Then instead of using black velvet ribbon for the cachepeigne have th? velvet loops in goldeu brown.?Grace Margaret Gould, ia the Woman's Home Companion. Shirt Waist or Blouse. The comfort of the shirt waist made with elbow sleeves and with the round collar is so apparent that it is very nearly impossible to supply the demand. This one shows two wide tucks in each front, so provid ing becoming fulness and is adapted to Madras, to linen, to lawn, to the soft finished pique, to wash silks and all the waistings of the season. In t the illustration it is made of white y linen lawn, a material that always is - satisfactory, but exceedingly pretty 1 ones are made from dotted lawns' 1 and from the pretty wash silks, the 3 former material being a peculiarly i satisfactory one for the shirt waist , dresses designed for home wear. 3 The waist is made with fronts and ) back, and is finished at the front i edges with wide hems. There is a 5 patch pocket arranged over the left I front and the turn-over collar comi pletes the neck. The sleeves can be . made either with or without open? ings, and are gathered into bands, to ; which the cuffs are attached. y J The quantity of materia! required s for the medium size is three and s Ovae-quarter yards twenty-one, three g : i.::d a half yards twenty-seven or one a | and seven-eighth yards forty-four iuciies wide. I "Peter Pan" Things. t First came the "Peter Pan" hat, a > queer little pleated Scotch affair, with d quills. This was folio.ved by the ) "Peter Pan" blouse, with low, round collar, short sleeves and patch d pocket. Now there's an entire "Petcv t Pan" suit, which youngish girls are f wearing with immenso delight, bey cause of its simplicity and girlishness. It's merely a shirt waist suit, a the blouse whereof is like that de}? scribed above, and the short, round ?, skirt, p'leated or plain. For country ? wear, mornings, picnics, etc., it's a it very pretty sort. So far, that's all 'S the "Peter Pannish" modes, though d possibly those new belts of bright Scotch plaid silk belong to that cateit gory. a _ 5, g Open Work Clock. i.

Rcube A. Torrey, D.D., the celebrated evai gelist, preached Sunday morning i the Fifth Avenue Presbyteria Church. There was a large congn gation, consisting almost entirely < strangers, only a very small pe centage being members of the churcl Dr. Torrey's subject was: "Tt Resurrection a Fact, not Fiction and his text was I Cor. xv:20 : "Bi now is Christ risen from the dea* and become the first-fruits of the] that slept." He said: Last Sunday moiling we said thi the resurrection of Jesus was tl most important event in history, ar we said that if it could be prove to be a historic fact that everythir essential to Christianity was prove but that if, on the other hand, could not be proved to be a histor fact, then * everything essential 1 Christianity must go. We startf out, without assuming anything i to by whom, or when, the gospe were written, to decide whether th( were a record of facts, or merely fi tion. First, we discovered that the foi gospels were each an independei I n r.* o *1 ^ wo uroi'Q Hrivon tn tl fl^UUUl, diiVX V? C ? conclusion that they were a recoi of actual occurrences. 'Next, we di covered that each bore the evident? of having been written by an ey witness. It often happens that witness tells his story so artlessl with such an entire absence of ar attempt to color it, that his test mony carries weight. ?Ve have m only one witness, but four, differir apparently in details (showing th; they were not coached) but all agre ing in the essential facts, and ea< one's story bearing marks of artle simplicity, so that we were driv( i to the conclusion that the story i the four gospels vfis a record j actual facts beyond dispute. Som times the details of evidence a more conclusive than the direct e\ dence, because it is not the tes1 , mony of the witness, but of the trul that is sought. We begin here this morning, ai we shall show that the narratives the Gospels prove conclusively th they are not fiction, but fact. Oi Illustration: In St. John's accoui of Thomas' refusal to believe th the Lord had risen, notice what said about the character of Thom and the character of Jesus. Ho characteristic is Thomas' action ai how characteristic is the rebuke Jesus! When the other disciples t< Thomas that they have seen the Lor he refuses to believe, and says, won't beliere it until I see the prin of the nails in His hands." A wei passes and the - disciples, includli Thomas, are gathered together, Jesus suddenly appears again. I bids Thomas put forth his finger ai thrust it into His side, and Thorn cries out, "My Lord and my God And then Jesus introduces the tend rebuke. "Thomas, you ought to ha believed before; but because th< hast seen Me, thou hast believei blessed are those who believe on si ficient evidence without sight." that made up? Is it a lie? If it made up then the man who drew th picture of Thomas, without a word explanation, and that picture Jesus, is the greatest literary mast of the centyries. It is not made u i it is the record of reality. Another illustration: When Pet said to Jesus (John xxi:21), "Wh shall this man do?" the Lord replies "What, is that to thee? Follow th< Me." The fishers had breakfasted') the shore, and Jesus had told Pet of Peter's coming crucifixion, ai then starts down the shore and saj "Follow Me." And Peter, turnii round as he goes, sees John folio1 ing, and says: "Lord, you have to me what my future is to be.. Wh will this man do?" Now, remembt all though the life of Jesus, as it recorded in the four Gospels, Jes never answered questions of me speculative curiosity. Peter wants know another man's business, ai Jesus says, "What is that to the< You see that you obey." Is that mai up, or it is reality? Is it a lie? A other illustration: In the same cha ter Jesus asks Peter, "Lovest th< Me?" three times, and Peter w grieved because He asked him th question three times. Notice the words: "Peter was grieved becau He said unto him the third tim 'Lovest thou Me?' " Why was Pet - ?J o t?v.? aATa?>c< ma /ivnlon srievcu ; iiuuu uucig nu VSJIIIU. tiou. But the Lord's thought we back to the court of Annas and Cai phas, where three times Peter hi denied Him, and. if the narrative hi been made up, this would have bei explained. Have you ever notio that the four Gospels insist upon tl fact tnat our Lord returned than in the breaking of bread? That something we do three times eve day, but I do not think that any oc in writing our lives, would put it i record. We simply return thanks a matter of form, but when Jesus, the breaking of bread, lifted up H heart and opened His lips, there w such a real drawing into the presen of God that no one at the table ev forgot it. When, after the walk Emmaus, Jesus returned thanks, ? though they had not recognized Hi before, notwithstanding that th( I V. -nri+Viirt thom HQ T I1CUI IS UUIUCU "II..... talked, the disciples knew Him. a moment their eyes wero opene and they said: "It is the Lord; n I body else ever returned thanks th way." Is this a fiction? If one m; wrote the story of the four Gospe why should he put in all of these d tails without explanation? It is i credible; and that four should do is absolutely unbelievable. H( comes it? Because this is what c curred, and they told what they se without realizing the significance what they put down. Still anoth illustration: If a man were inventi the story of the Resurrection, w should he put in the fact that t little napkin "was wrapped togeth in a place by itself?" Who car whether it was in a place by itse.f not? I do not know whether Jo] knew the significance of it or not, b there is a significance in it that fiction would contain. It showed th ? ->...-.on finmnhnnt nvpr rlp,n ad lIUSUO ai UiUUl^UMMV w ? W. and the grave, in the supreme morae of the world's history, there was hurry, no haste, no excitement, b that, with the same majestic coi posure, the same divine sublimil the same majestic calm that mark Him in the storm on the Sea of Gi ilee, He rises from the grave. I does not tear the handkerchief frc His face and fling it across the roo but calmly unbinds His head a face, lays it aside in a place by its< and passes out of the sepulchre, that made up, and put in without word of explanation? Never. \ have read not a picture, but fac with a detail here and another thei of which the writer, apparently, hi rre conception of the meaning but simply wrote what he saw. \Ve have a volume o? evidence on Y the resurrection of that kind. First, the apostles, beyond peradventure, made the resurrection of Jesus the cornerstone of their preaching, and they preached it in the very city where He was crucified and before the court that condemned him. Furthermore, they gave their lives for a , testimony. Men do not do that for " whaft they know to be false. Secondly, the early church, which came out of the Jewish church, changed the I Sabbath observance from the seventh day to the first day of the week, and " anyone who has studied Jewish his* tory knows the hardest thing in the ,, world is to change Jewish customs, '. an1 something tremendous must have J j happened to make this change possi' ble, simply by common consent. The third fact is most significant?the t moral transformation of the apostles themselves. They were a pack of wtl(l terly demoralized cowards, and a few >(j days after we see that same company filled with the most indomitable cour age that the world has ever seen, i What had happened? Jesus had risen i ic and they had seen Him. All intellito gent men who deny the resurrection ;(j admit that the apostles thought He ls had risen. Straus says: "We admit ]s that they had seen something; may ,y not this appearance have been visionary?" That is, they saw a vision. lr Our answer is this: Whoever heard j ^ of eleven men having the same vision ie at the same time; and of 500 men >(] having the same vision? An old arc_ gument against the resurrection has Cs been revived within the last five e_ years, and it was that Jesus was not a really dead and was resuscitated, and they appeal to a historic fact that 3 i !y certain Jewish officer was taken down | 1_ from a cross and brought back to life. We have five objections to this: lg First, what preceded the crucifixion at ?tho scourging, etc. Second, the e- Jews and the Romans took special ;h precautions to prevent this. Third, ss remember His broken heart. Fourth, >n if He had been resuscitated He would of have been in a state of absolute physaf ical collapse, as was the case with e- the Jewish officer, who was an inre valid all his life. Fifth, if so, the ri- ones who resuscitated Jesus must ;i- have been the apostles and the Iransth formation in them remains unaccounted for. Finally, if it was not id resurrection, then the whole thing is in a fraud, and a deliberate fraud. Who at can believe that Christianity with its ie lofty precepts of morality and holy nt living rests upon a fraud and that at Jesus was a party to it? No man can is believe it. as Ther* is only one conclusion: The iw resurrection of Jesus Christ from | id the dead is the best proved fact in of history. There is only one really ill strong argument against it, and that d. is that no one else was ever raised ; "I from the dead. The answer to that ts is that the life of Jesus was unique. ik His mission and nature and character lg were all unique and it was only to be id expected that the issue of that life le would be unique. It is impossible id for any man of loyal mind, or who as has had any experience of evidence, ." who wants to know the truth, to sit er down before the four Gospels and ve take them up, point by point, examine ju the statements and thoroughly sift the d; evidence, to come to any other con e 4-V.nn + V.o + Toouc Phriof flrtllfll 11" UlUdlUU tiiuu luu w vj uuuk, VM.cwv Is ly arose from the dead, as recorded is in the four Gospels.

So Duke Ludwig of Bavaria, now seventy-five years old, wishes to con- I tract a third morganatic marriage. 1 His second wife, now living, is only i thirty-five, but she is too old. The Duke is now in love with a young 1 singer at the Munich Opera-House, 1 and as he is a proper man, like Wer- 1 ther in Thackeray's immortal ballad, ] , there must be a divorce and then a 1 marriage. The Wittelsbach Lud- 1 wigs have not been fortunate with women. Ludwig the Strong, in the fifteenth century, suspecting his '> wife's fidelity, pitched the lady in 1 waiting out of a window and sent 1 the wife to the scaffold. Lola Mon- > tez played the mischief with Ludwig I., and Sophie Charlotte, who as the- ( Duchess tl'Alencon was burned in the 1 bazaar fire at Paris, might have made Ludwig II. reasonably happy if for some reason?several were wide- i spread in Munich?he had cot broken the betrothal. And now the old Duke is hunting trouble. Of course if the young singer does not become Ludwig's wife she will come either to the Metropolitan or the Manhattan Opera House. We see Messrs.

It is not generally known?not sven among painters?why certain ints and colors wear much better han others on houses, and the cnowledge of just what tints are best o use is, therefore, rather hazy. One writer on paint, in a recent jook, says that experiments seem to thow that thosi colors which resist >r turn back the heat rays of the iun will protect a house better than hose which allow these rays to pass hrough the film. Thus red is a good color because t turns back, or reflects, the red ays, and the red rays are the hot ays. In general, therefore, the warm ;ones are good and the cold tones are poor, so far as wear is concerned. In choosing the color of paint for four house, select reds, browns, jrays and olives which,, considering :he various tones these tints will jroduce, will give a wide range from ivhich to choose. Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold fellows (like lemon), cold greens (like grass green, etc.), and the slues. It must be understood that no vir:ue is claimed for tints in themselves, rrespective of the materials used in :he paint.

The Nantes market gardeners, the most expert commercial cultivators In France, owe their success primarily to the use of leaves of trees as a fertilizer. The leaves that fall from the trees in the district are carefully collected each autumn. They are put into heaps with loam and are left to decay. The result is a compost Par more valuable than can be provided ty the aid of loam and manure. Fresbly gathered leaves from trees are also used as a mulch to protect crops from frost during the winter months, with excellent results. They are also dried and used freely for bedding material for horses and cows. The manure thus obtained is far more valuable than that furnished by the aid of straw. In English agricultural circles straw is considered to be of greater fertilizing value than leaves. This is an error. Scientific investigation has disclosed the fact that decayed leaves are of greater fertilizing value than even manure. In pear leaves the contents of nitrogen was 1.86 per cent; in oak leaves 1.18 per cent.; in poplar, 0.75 per cent.; beech, 0.7S per cent.; elm, 0.73 per cent., and in the vine 0.35 per cent. A comparison with leaves and manure in respect to their fertilizing properties disclosed the following facts: forty-four pounds of pear leaves, eighty pounds of poplar, fifty-one pounds of peach, eighty-two pounds of elm and 174 pounds of vine respectively are equal in nitrogen to 100 pounds of manure. A valuable table might be compiled showing the fertilizinz value of the nt on nf thp various Enelish icavco \ji u<* vi. %-w w trees.
