New York City, ?Tho pretty, dressy wn!st that can be opened fit the front In one for which many women are searching, and hero Is a model that Includes that feature whllo It is eseentiaiiy smart ana auiatuvc. m this case It Is made of Nattier blue cashmere with trimming of taffeta and chemisette of cream colored lace, but it will be found charming for silk and wool materials and for almost everything seasonable. It is peculiarly well adapted to the entire gown, for which voile, henrietta | cloth, wool batiste and the like are desirable, while it also suits the odd blouse admirably well, and utilized In this way is admirable, both for the plain and plaid taffetas, and also for the thinner and lighter embroidered nets and chiffons that are so much In vogue. The little vest portion is a feature and an attractive one, and aIaavpb can be made longer or shorter as liked. The waist is made with a fitted lining, which is closed at the centre front, and itself consists of fronts, back, chemisette and vest portions. The fronts and the backs are tucked and the vest portions are attached to the front edges. The collar finishes the neck and the closing is made invisibly at the left side. The prettily full sleeves are finished with roll^ over cuffs, and are arranged over fitted linings, which are faced to form the deep cuffs when long sleeves are desired. The quantity of material required for the medium size is three and three-quarter yardstwenty-one, three and one-eighth yards twenty-seven or one and five-eighth yards forty-four inches wide, with one-half yard of all-over "ace and three-quarter yard of silk t make as illustrated, one yard of all-over lace if loug sleeves are used. Fashion Names. It is not the jigh girt gown of the eighteenth century that is figuring in dressmaking triumphs, but a modification as far from its prototype as the aleged kimono sleeve of the fashionable wrap is from the original Oriental arm covering which gives it its name. But there is an upward lift to the girdle or shortening of the waist line in many of the best coats and wraps and a large number of the handsomest gowns. In Amasis Green. One of the most original new gowns of a whole display is an Amasis (Nile green gray) marquisette made over sky blue and worn with a bright orange sash?a daring and most successful scheme of color. Then there is another gown in striped black and white mousseline, with a band of black Chantilly lace round the hem above the band of black velvet. It is of the adapted Empire stylo with lisse bodice and full white sleeves edged with black lace. Color combinations are, indeed, a feature. Marabout Plumes Used. Combined with flowers marabout plumes are oftener used than ostrich. Rough Materials Preferred. Rough materials In almost Invisible stripes and checks rival in popularity the smoother materials. Blue and Gold. One of the best costume color com binations of the season is that of a great deal of brown and a much less quantity of blue, with touches of | gold in the embroideries. Long Lines Essential. | The constant iteration of long I lines seems absolutely senseless to the unitiated, but the well dressed woman, whose clothes win admira| tion, knows how much there is in the | ecpression and realizes that this is I the crucial consideration. Girl's French Dress. The French, or long waisted, dress is always becoming to the younger girls, and is so pretty and graceful that it is a very general favorite. This one can be made adapted to party and dancing school wear or to everyday use as one material or an! other is chosen and as one trimming or another is used. As illustrated the frock is a dressy one made with short sleeves and the material is fine white lawn with trimming of embroidery, but in the back view it is shown made from bright red veiling with frills of ribbon and becomes a very much more durable, everyday garment. For the more dressy frocks white is always charming, and the younger children wear washable materials at all seasons, but for the slightly older girls cashmere or veiling in such colors as pale blue and pink are much to be commended with the trimming of ribbon and the yoke of some pretty lingerie material or a simple lace or embroidered net.' For J everyday wear dark colored cash meres ana vemngs are givuu pitueience over everything else. The dress is made with the waist and the skirt. The waist Is full and is arranged over a fitted body lining, which is faced to form the yoke and the pretty bertha conceals the upper edge of the full portion. Both the long and the short sleeves are gathered into bands. The skirt is simply straight and is finished with two ruffles, above which is a group of tiny tucks. The quantity of material required for the medium size (six years) is four yards twenty-strven, three and three-quarter yards thirty-two or two and one-half yards forty-four inches wide with nine and one-quarter yards of ribhon for the frills, three-eighth yard eighteen inches wide for the yoke, one and three-quarter yards of narrow and two yards of wide bandlnc j The Puifo/t ll 11 ii i 1 I'ii.. " ^\S^S\^rS^rSXs~r~ I .A SERMON ' ^ggr&k 53T TttE REV? I \R\V- /kNDEIgOiNl^l^f^ Theme: The Bible. Brooklyn, N. Y.?Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church, Hamburg avenue and Weirfield street, on the above theme, the Rev. Ira VVemmell Henderson, pastor, took as his text Is>.40:S: "The Word of our God shall stand forever." He said: This has been an age of criticism | of the Scriptures, 'mere nas never ! been a time in (he history of Christianity when the Bible was more searchingly examined and the truthfulness of its facts as presented more questioned than in the days through which we have passed and are passi ing. The written truth of the divine j revelation has been put to severe I tests. Its foundations have been an: alyzed. Its superstructure has been I sounded. Its conclusions have been I negatived and its very fabric has j seemingly been destroyed. Some of j us have feared that its permanence has been threatened, its influence cur! tailed, its contents in some measure j expunged. Criticism has been strenI uous in its handling of the Bible, j Far more strenuous than some of us j have thought advisable. Far more j strenuous than many of us have thought justifiable, necessary or wise. Under the combined influence of a ! new science, a larger view of history, ' a more comprehensive geography, the ! tests of the validity and value of the 1 Scriptures have been changed and the f content of the Word of God has been I differently considered than custom! arily. It has shocked many a soul, ! this process. It has brought many a j layman and many a minister to the ! tide of the ocean of doubt and dls! trust and of spiritual uncertainty, j But it has been done. Whether we j have liked it or no the light has b:e:i turned on. It has incidentally been turned on much that was the foolishness of immature scholarship masquerading under the guise of wisdom. The criticism of the Scriptures has :reated a widespread distrust of the whole Book of God. It has upset theology. It has removed many of the old foundations for our belief In the inspiration of the Word and of the divinity of Jesus Christ. Sadly in many quarters it has undermined faith. But that has been rather Lecause men have lacked the power to differentiate and because they have mistaken facts for human statement and interpretation of the same, than because the Scriptures have been scientifically studied and the light of the spirit Honestly ana neipiuny turned on. Actually there has been little cause for alarm. Because we test the water is no guarantee that it is contaminated. Because we put acid to our silver is no surety that it is only plated. Because we take the invitation of the Almighty and try Him and His Word is no reason why we should fear .that either or both are frauds. Because we study the Word carefully invites no presumption that It will r.ot be able fully to meet all our questions and successfully to elucidate all our perplexities and to justify itself. The Bible is not r. book for dummies. It is the mechanically preserved Word of a living God who through the long ages has spoken tn livlnc mem nnfl wlin Vfifc anpaks. It is for men of intelligence who are alive. And it invites the inquiry of live and intelligent men. There is and has been no cause for alarm. For theology and religion are not the same thing. A very religious man may have a very atrocious theology. And while it is always best to express our religious knowledge and experiences in the best theological formulae that we may be able to devise, it is always possible, humanity being what it is, that we may not be able to express in words the exact consciousness of our minds and souls. A man's theology wili change, if he be a live and intelligent man, with the maturing and magnifying of his religious experiences. And if our theology is ineffective to relate our spiritual and moral experiences, if our creeds do not correctly reveal our thoughts, there is no reason in the world why we should not do as our fathers before us have done and change our creeds, our formulated theologies. Creeds are necessary as an expression of a religious conscious | ness. It were folly to score tnem. But they should be plastic. They J should grow with our growth and expand with our expansion. | And "so if investigation of the j Scripture has relaid the ground for ; our belief in the inspiration of the | Word of God we should not be fear| ful. For it has made the foundation J but more intelligible and truthful to j the minds of men of to-day. It has not destroyed the fact of inspiration, j It has simply changed our major I ground of belief therein. The Word | is as inspired as it ever was. No theological statement, however learned or carefully worded, can alter the fact. If the examination of the Scripture has restated the grounds for our belief in the divinity of Christ, it has been simply to intensify our intellectual acceptance of the fact of His divineness. For He who was the ful!! noeo r>f <rrar>n iinri tI'lltll flPOSndS nOt | ugoi? vi. (-,? u.\/v ?? ?> ? ? -4 on any theological formula for demonstration or justification. For He was divine ere men began to prove Him so. , We ought to be thankful that the test has come. For out of the fire has emerged a stronger faith in the inspired Word of God, a clearer comprehension of the reaiions for our faith. And it were worth while to go through fire and through flood to secure that. Criticism has eliminated many a perplexity. It has clarified much of the obscurity of the Scripture records. It has brought the testimony of the four ends of the earth to the substantiation of the accuracy in 1 fiverv essential Dart of God's most Holy Word. Jt has given us a larger knowledge. It has given us a surer knowledge. Except for those who were nearest to the events that are chronicled in Scripture there has been none more accurately informed, so far as wo have light, concerning the facts of Scripture than are we to-day. The more I read of the researches and results achieved by critical students of the Bible and of the lands with which it intimately associates itself the more am I convinced that the investigation is worth whatever it may cost and that it is providential. And I am also convinced that we would do well to go slow about discounting the opinions concerning the Scripture and the facts therein recited that have been held true in da>\. long past, jt is a gcuc uuug mm. \>u should remember that tho sum of human wisdom is not resident in us and that ouv forefathers were not fools. This !.? an intensely critical and scientific age. It demands ]:rooi and evidence Jl:at heretofore v.'as not deemed necessary or reverent. Bui the more we read and hear the more we are led to believe that the fatherc, in not so informed and scientific an {.go. were not so deluded when they accepted on faith that for which wc demand proof. For we get the prool when we ask for it, so it would seem, and it is very largely confirmatory of the past. The gates of hell cannot prevail against the Bible. For it is the trutnf?l record of the largest longings, the | wickedest sins, the most delightful j religious exaltations of individuals and a people. Its human interest is superb. It meets our lives at every point. It has comfort for the sorrow| irg, peace for the afflicted, inspiration for the heavy-hearted, enthusiasm for the discouraged, admonition for the wicked, salvation for the penitent. The farmer feels its vitality, the shepherd acknowledges its appeal, the rich man learns its lessons, the poor man thanks God for its democracy. It is the book of the people, for it is redolent with the life of the people. And wherever there is a soul in torment, wherever there is a man who mourns, wherever there is a woman with a broken heart, wherever there is a mind in gloom, or a body that is racked with pain, there will the Bible be and be enjoyed. For it radiates good cheer, it speaks to us honestly of the deepest things of life it warns us of the consequences of evil and the satisfactions of righteousness. The Bible Is as intelligible to Youth as to old age. It has a mes sage for all. It can charm a boy with its heroes as a man with its profound philosophy. It can animate a girl as it can inspire and intensify a woman's love for God. And it does these things. And because it docs it will nevex grow stale or profitless or valueless. It will ever stand. "The Word of our God shall stand forever." It is eternal. It is not the creature of time. It is the child of eternity. And it would stand forever if for no other reason than that it unfolds the earthly history of the incarnate God, So long as'the Bible speaks of Christ it will live. For Ke is its inspiration. The revelation of Him is its mission. And so long as men shall sin and need salvation, so long as souls shall turn to God in Christ for aid, so long will men love the Scripture and magnify its force. Shallow thinkers may enlarge the difficulties that inhere within the Scripture. Bad men may quote il for their evil ends. Foolish men maj twist its meanings and assure us ol its fallibility. But the Bible wil! ' stand. It will stand forever. And TcViari TPO aro rmno and fhp milnties! generations that shall follow us hav? come and gone the long way in oui steps the Bible will be here. For it is the Word of the Lord. Let us nevei forget it! And it shall endlessly per dure. A Rise by Sclf-Sacrifice. Enough has been said of the fal by self-will to show us that man mus rise by self-sacrifice. To grow this passion within him were all the sac rifices to which God led him in hi! weary history Ilore and more near ly did God reveal Himself unto man until in the self-sacrifice of Calvarj the heart of man was taken and God*! self-sacrifice began the life of self sacrifice in humanity.

Uon A rlsinto/l n PInn Thnf VIC^UII Uttc ? is Said to Work AVclI so Far? , List of Licensed Drinkers. I The State of Oregon has taken a 1 new departure in the temperance 1 movement, and the plan is said to r work well so far. In all other States where liquor is allowed to be sold, 1 the seller is licensed. In Oregon the i order of things has been reversed. ! Instead of licensing the seller, the buyer of strong drink is compelled 1 to take out a license for which he has to pay $5 every six months. Saloon 1 men are compelled by law to confine th^ir sales exclusively to persons > holding licenses to buy. under pain > of a heavy fine for selling to unau' thorized drinkers. The departure 1 from the usual order of things is so 1 radical that naturally there are many complaints against it, and there are ' many people who declare it is wrong; ' that it is a restriction on the liberties : j of the individual; that the State can1 I not legally say that one may and . I in nth or mav nnt rlrink or do any ; | | thing else. A feature of the law that is especially unpopular among a large 1 class of drinking people is that every six months the complete list of the 1 licensed drinkers is published. This 1 publication is held by many to be an 1 outrage. But there are strong argu' ments in support of the law as a 1 whole and in support of the publication clause. It is held that the State has just as much right to license the ; buyer as the seller of an article; that I in withholding licenses from persons " | known to be confirmed.drunkards the | State is simply exercising its rigat I and duty in protecting the commun| ity. As to the publication feature, 1 j It is held by supporters of the law | '.hat drinking breeds crime and pau ;ers, by which the public suffers, and ' j that the public has a perfect right to 1 j know who are the drinking people 1 j in any community. Then, too, it is 1 j held that the publication of drink license's has the effect of restraining ' j many people from becoming drinkers. L Of course, there are men who will r Jrink when and where they please J regardless of who knows it; but there : | are also many men in every comr | munity who do not want to declare j to the world that they are drinking ' ; men, and these are deterred from t J drinking by the fact that they can5 j not drink in secret. It is also held 5 :o be beneficial to business interests * j that employers should know who are J j :he drinkers and who are the sober j men, especially the young men. Par , jnts, too, are not kept in the dark [ is to the habits of their sons, and | ire thus enabled to take measures for their benefit. As yet, however, the 1 1 new law seems to be only in the ext I perimental stage. Its workings will 1 J ?:<-'u ' Aof <r> + arocf "hv 3 oe watcneu wnu sicav. iuw.v^. . i other States.

He I captured in that time six wildcats, seven coyotes, four raccoons, seven skunks and two foxes. The bounty on this kill will be about ?40, and the hides will brilng an additional lesser sum. Coyotes are plentiful in that section, but are hard to capture by trapping and still harder to get with a gun. Wildcats are so few that he thinks he landed the most of them and will have to hunt in another place. All the animals were caught with a steel trap set in the brush and baited. A wildcat measures about sixteen inches from where he plants his feet to the point where he noses fnr ttio hnit and thp tranner savs he has it figured down to such a fine point that he hardly ever fails to lay the bait at just the right distance from the trap, so the cat will step into it as he reaches for the meat. Coyotes are shrewder and soon get wise to the trapper, and it is not long before the whole coyote relation in the region has been informed and spotted every trap so they can get around them to secure the bait and ! make a safe getaway.?Arizona Republican.
