IVIgdom'* TVIiUper?. It Is not well to take chances when R oman's force of character comes in. Tell a man he is looking bad and .he t once imagines he is ill. A woman's nerve stands by her when ate is giving the "social bluff" to another woman. When a man is In love he wants to ? make the fact known, but is afraid of rppearing foolish. The girl who is in love likes her girl friends to be inade aware of the fact. Some men go on the principle that whatever they do is sure to be right. Women often are deceived by th? way a man hows to their opinions. Men are inclined to look upon life as a struggle without much in the way of compensation. The woman who sounds her own praises overlooks the good qualities of other women.?Philadelphia Bulletin. A Velvet Wardrobe. 'J Ills year me enure niuuivuv iu?.i j fashioned of velvet. Fashion won't i prohibit if the purse iloes not. For the street there is the coat and skirt costume of navy blue velvet in walking length.

A dove gray trimmed with yellow lace and bands of sable makes a most artistic combination for ?kirt. coat and waist. Even the evening gown Is built of velvet, in exquisite new whites, rose pinks, blues and greens, against which point lace and jewels make a dazzling display. Pats and cloaks are of velvet, too.

Garnets, after a long relapse, have come Into fashion with a rush, and girls are ransacking their mothers' Jewel boxes for ancient garnet necklaces, buckles, and brooches worn by grandmamma in the fifties, and handed down to descendants who proved rather un ppreclative of the blessing. These semi-precious stones are ex- i qulsitely becoming for evening wear, j when they shine with a brilliant crimson glow most flattering to the skin of the wearer.

A flurried hostess or nervous host wjiose countenance but badly conceals the worry felt, can do more toward making the guests uncomfortable tbnn if the soar was stone cold and the salart dressing ^as ruined by a too bountiful quantity of vinegar.

Beyond this no one 1 dreamed of going until this feminine ] peculiarity served actually to invalid- i nto : wnmnn's will. The late Isabella i Andrews, of Brooklyn, N. Y., it seems, i was one of the women who delight to i treat the tbvjdtfage of a sheet of writ- t Jug paper as if it were the second, the fourth as if it were the third, and the 1 second as if it were the fourth. She 1 made her will that way, too. Starting ] on the first page, she jumped the pro- * visions of the will over to the third < page, which she marked two, and < wound up by subscribing and attesting 1 the document on the second png?, 1 which she marked three. She used a 1 printed formula, which was intended to 1 b? attested on the reverse side of the 1 first page?what in ordinary corre- < spondenee paper one would call the 1 fourth page.

Even Tempered Women. ( There is a charni about the woman of t even temper which we especially ap- ] preciate, says the Chicago Journal.

( How depressing, in contradistinction, l is the society of that other woman who \ is in high spirits one day and has the ; blues the next. It is usual for such an i Individual to plead the weather as an l excuse. And that reminds us: i There was once a little girl, who, on i a certain day, when suffering from i what polite people term mental mias- s mus, but what in reality is peevish- t ness, said with emphasis: i "Rainy days are just hateful! I al- 1 way3 feel gloomy when the sky is so r dark, and the rain just keeps pouring, i I hate bad weather." r It was her father, sensible man. who t made answer quietly: i "If you give way to that sort of r thing you will make yourself and other i: people very unhappy, and you will have r very few friends." )i He said it in the decisive way iu o which some individuals know how to 1 say tilings, and it made an impression, h How much discomfort was saved the v friends and relatives of that little girl, ;iot to speak of her future husband, by r that short speech, it would be impos- v dble to estimate. r How foolish it is, when one comes J< o think of it, this fretting because the veather isn't all we would like it to li " 4e if thorn tvnre anv Dossibility of t ontrolling it. or as if any good purpose ? ivere served by making ourselves tl lisagreeable. a The even-tempered woman seldom R lotiees the weather, unless it be to de- I ide whether to take along an timbrel- b a.

The ^ >nly questions seriously discussed aJ.^ when a river and harbor bill comes ur ,ip in Congress, are. the amount vk to be voted and for what particular b 1 aorks of improvement the money shall ep, )e spent.

Tor Improvements of this kind during ^ dip past fifty years more than four h, jundred millions of dollars, and now Th in annual appropriation of twenty mil- ^ ions would be looked upon as quite un conservative. in; The advocates of National aid to road 'ri;l Improvement elaim that much more ) \an be said in favor of tlieir scheme ban in favor of river and harbor legis- tei lation. and much less against it. Both th 'oine under the general class of "inter- ^ lal improvements," about which there in vas so much heated discussion in the de nrly days of the republic. The gen- 1 >ral arguments in favor of river and larbor improvements may be summed i lai ip as follows: (1). They promote the j in/ tenernl welfare. (2). The improve-1 nents entail an expense too heavy to j le borne by the people of the localities j th nost directly interested, and hence,! wi vould never be made if the Govern-' nent refused to foot the bills. The *v, ame arguments apply with equal force J b? o the improvement of the public high-; vays. Certainly no kind of Internal an mprovement would do more to pro-1 n note tiie prosperity and the moral and i ntellectual improvement of the t() nasses. It Is also equally certain that nj| his great work of internal improve-j m< nent will remain undone, to a great i thl xtont, if (he whole burden of expense j '*1 s left to be carried by the people of, ^ urnl neighborhoods.

In fact, no general progress Ij# < ieing made except In a few States rhicli have adopted the State aid plan. The policy of voting Federal aid to rP] oad improvement has three great ad- thi antages over that of voting fnnds for iver and harbor improvements, as fol- j(,T )ws: rH First?While the money voted for the *n itter purpose is collected from the J* rbole people by taxation it is neces- rui arily expended in limited localities, li^^habitants of which receive tlie ^ 0Kpr part of the benefits. In fact, a rent majority of the people of the rig 'nited States receive no direct and lin ut little jndireet benefit from these ^ nprovemeDts. On the other hand, a Tr 'ederal appropriation for road I'm- do rovement would be available for use ) 1 any section. Every State and al lost every county and township could rr hare in the direct benefits, while large ?ai idirect benefits would come to the 'Jj' eople of all cities and towns. nl(' Second?The benefits flowing from an to ppropriation for river and harbor imrovement are strictly limited to the mount of money voted, as no help is w pquired from the local communities. ? tut the plan embodied fn the Brown>w bill merely contemplates that the m< lovernment shall help the people who wa re willing to help themselves. >*o Th omrannity could enjoy the Govern- ^ lent aid until it had voted to raise a f01 irge share of the expense by local to Fixation. Thus a Federal appronrfaion for this purpose would produce #e< eneflts far beyond the limits of the thi mount voted. Third?One bad feature of the river ml harbor legislation is the "lop-roll- th? ag" Indulged iu by legislators who are yei nxious to secure funds for Improve- * ucnts in their districts or States. * 'his often injuriously affects Iegi?!a- giv ion of all kinds, for many members ?i ubordinate everything else to this. ^ National aid to road improvement as iow advocated would be wholly free of roni this had feature.

"'And I have ird of thee that thou canst make inter;tations and dissolve doubts." Dr odell said: f Daniel were alive to-day, with his iiit.v tq dissolve doubts unimpaired and impeached, he would be the busiest in of his time. And vet ours is no re an age of doubt than any other lich preceded it. There was infidelity hundred years ago in our universities d a flippant skepticism among educatpeople which is now quite outgrown, t it will alwavs remain true that every aeration must settle its own doubts, e generation is made up of the indilual and the great questions of the soul : personal questions. They must be ought out for the most part by indilual stress and struggle. There are ases of doubt that receive greater emasis than others at a given time. In one aeration a deistie philosophy seems to umph in another agnosticism is at the e. The generation now passing ha? ighi out the great battles of evolution d we may fairly say that its theory is no way a menace to the Christian faith. iere have bpen hot battles on the field biblical criticism. Positions once held the two great forces have been proven tenable and the orthodox party by giv: up what sould not be defended has ide its position stronger than ever be e. Die doubts to wbich T wish to refer and ?ich I would be glad to scatter as spec's of the night are not so much of the coretical es of the practical sort. They ? the kind which make stout men weak, lich paralyze great upward movements society, and cut the nerve of personal voi ion. [t is not strange or unreasonable that ! should have doubt?.

Life has become a *at interrogation point, a-d our jourv a voyage of diseovc-y. We sail into pry beckoning bay. One is a fair harr an'' nothine b?vond: another a stretch sandbar and shoal and we are fortule if we are able to nutacain to sea; while other proves to be the mouth of a ?at river un whose tide wp go to e'oris discoveries in a delectable eonntrv. >e man who thinks cannot ston hi? inking.

Sees it and does it: his hizh man with a great thing to pursue Dies ere he knows it." f- is no wonder, then, that we are drivto doubt, for life is too short to know ft is not to be wondered at that onr ubts concern themselves chief)v with igious truth. In the very nature of ings relizions truth is supernatural It not so much contrary to. as beyond, our ises. Its nrincinles are not like the arms of mathematics. The who'e field of igion is bevond the realm of the senses d of scientific rules; therefore, it. is to wondered at least of all when we find it in this field speculation and doubt n riot. rhere is another faet to be considered tich Horace Bushnell states ndmirablv: lur facultv is itself in disorder. A brok or bent telescone will not see anything ;htly. So a mind wrenched from its true es of action, discolored and rmirched evP. will not see truly, but will nnt a irred, misshapen look on everything. uCha wil! ?nly be as flood u tncn and nbt* aa natural a? they." In view of all this, let us hare done th abusing those who doubt. Doubt onerly pursued is only knowledge in the a*. and Dr. Parks was right when he d: "Infidelity is the ultimate result of ecking the desire for expanded knowlge." Let us frankly tell our young peos that doubt is not a final condition save a dishonest mind. Through the doubt to-day they will come to the knowledge to-morrow, and let us also remind them at what they hold as the truth to-morw should hare great expansive power, that coming days will give more light fl add to the proportions of the truth 'I have heard of thee that thou canst iks interpretations and dissolve doubts," m the King's greeting to the Hebrew, lis same Daniel had stood before the ng*s father when he, too, w?s aore burned with mystery. He did not claim ' his own unaided wisdom the power settle doubts, but stoutly and honestly ned the source of his power, saying: i. ? - _ c nere ia n uuu 111 uca?cu ma, >??? :rets." It may be said truthfully that ? only aure method for the solution life'e problems and the dissolving of its ubts ia by entering into right relations th Him. If it is objected that dne of > great doubts of life relates to His ry existanee the answer is. Every man conscious of the great ethical imperae, I ought. This relates him to some ;at law, end hence to some great law er. It would not seem to be e very sited prayer, "Oh God. if there be a id, enlighten my soul, if I have a soul," d yet even a prayer like that, with an nest purpose to follow each faintest ray light, would not be unavailing, in the matter of dissolving religious ubts, the ultimate purpose is everything, i man ever comes to the truth by being nplv curious. Speculation for specuion's sake leads nowhere. The mind is ed with conflicting arguments. It is a or cause which has not something plause about it. and ao the mind eliases iff from sophistry to sophistry, from coniversy to controversy, darkening counand ning out nowhere, rhe first thing for an honest seeker af truth to do is te pledge himself to ide by the truth as he finds it. To play t and loose with one s convictions is tne it and second death. To fail to use i light we have to refuse to live up to lat we know is light, is to put one's f into the darkness of eternal doubt, ito was right when he said: '"Atheism a disease of the soul before it becomes error of the understanding." French leism was a foregone conclusion when e considers the condition of French mor. Why should a man believe in God len his life was one lonjr rebelling linst Him? Why should ne not cry Iter us the deluge" when conscious that thing but an amfatbomable sea could rer tne putrefaction of his lifa? When nan has made up his mind to give himf to the sensual and the material, it is llov mockery for him to profess a dee to know the truth. # The truth abides th no man who will not use it. and, on ? other hand, if he be, like Romanes, re of heart hnd purpose, he will think i way. out of the darkness into the full nt of revealed religion and pillow his ing head upon a certain faith.

Put yourself as best* you can in the attitude of prayer and listen. You will then be able to know whether God talks back. You have sat in the pew for years and you have heard sermons without number on the great frnda mentals of the Christian faith. To some of them you have given intellectual assent, and yet you find yourself in doubt and uncertainly. Why is it thus with you? 1 here can be but one answer. You have thrown vourself in holy surrender at the feet of t* e truth vou have known. It costs something to do that. I pity the man who had no Bethel in his life: no place where he has faced God and dut*r and said: "I will" to the divine "you ought." Paul had his Damascus. Luther his Erfurt. Wesley his Aldersgate, and B'shnell, lecturing to the students of Yale, said: "There is a storv lodged in the litrlc bedroom of e-'.e of thc?c dormitories which I or God His recording angel may note, allowing it n?vor lr> be lost." T)o rot be impatient with your doubt, only be 9ure that you are moving toward the lich 1 you do see. Xof what we are. but what we are becon.'ng: not where stand, but whence we come and whither we go -these are the great things about wh:eh we ?hon'd be concerned. The fruit of the tree of faith may be plucked too soon and it is then vn'ucles?. Tt takes a full season to ripen the best of nature's product" and there are some things in faith whieh only years and frost and storm will brine to maturity. Tt has hern said that one of the greatest talents in religious discovery is the finding how to hang up questions without being anxious about tlmm. Look at them now and then as they hang and by and by. wlien von turn some corner of thought, vou will he delighted and astonished to see how quietly and easi'v they open their secret and let you in. T know a g^eat teacher of ma'hemat'cs who always kept some hard problems by him. He would work on one awhile and nut it back in his pocket still incomplete. After weeks or months the problem would be solved and another take its place i" his thought. There are man" who sr.y with easy assurance: "Lord. I believe." but they have never thought enough to .have anv doubts. They have no sympathy with those who die (j: a man or a cause. Thev could believe anything that seemed to be necessary " - a good position in society and a comfortable .income. The man who is honest must adjourn some of his questions and not Ik? imnaticnt. I expect to carry some of my questions with me into that larger lif? toward which all men move, hut that fa;t does not trouble rae. Some tilings j have settled and others can wait until the dav when all mysterv shall he made clear. One of my parishioners some years aeo taught me a peat lesson. She was a lady of culture and refinement. She had been at the head of a great school for many years. Her eyesight at last failed her and she became totally blind. I saw her at the close of a service feeling her way up the aisle from pew to pew. that she might shake hand9 with me. The thought of her great suffering and loss finally overwhelmed me and I said with deep emotion as I clasped her hand: "It will hie light up yonder and vou will Know wnv uou na* permitted this great affliction to enter your life." She lifted a face transfigured by ineffable peace and raid: "If I a in happy as to get to heaven, I shall let bygones be bygones and shall not trouble the Lord for any explanations." If one hne a spirit like that, whatever doubts he has can wait. Remember finally that there are but a few thinge that are absolutely necessary to Christian faith. Be sure that you hare them, whatever the price demanded may be. Do not try to make a bargain for a safe and pleasant course. That is an awful mocking of the truth. But having settled the great problems be assured that vou need not be greatly troubled about the lesser ones. Men have set up standards which God never ordained. We have multiplied dogmas and doctrines to the confusion of the mind and I fear to the loss of the soul. Worse than all men have forgotten that right Irving is more important than right views. They have burned heretics to get rfd of tbeir heresy, and have banished good men because they disagreed with them. Have patience with other men that they may hava patience with you. Let your life recommend your creed. Right opinions will avail tis no more than they avail the devil and his angels unless we hold them in the colden chalice of a pure and honest life. The great truths of life are not simply intellectual truths and the method by which they are revealed are not chiefly intellectual. With the heart man believeth unto righteousness. Doubt which is in moral earnest is a servant of God to bring the truth. It baa preceded all great reforms in the individual and in the community. A faith which has been forged out through the awful heat of doubt is the only kind that becomes an anchor to the soul. It is worth ?nm<T throu2h the fiery furnace to find Rv,,*0 7 "the form of the Fourth." The conviction which honest doubt lead# to is the conviction which has shaken the world. Do not scorn any man, and least of all the truth he holds. Keep the integrity of your mind. Think honestly, think seriously, for life's questions are solemn questions. Do not be obstinate and refuse to own a new truth which contradicts some position you once held. Above all things realize that the truth is the only thing that will free you from an evil life. The verdict of the ages and the verdict of the facts is that the truth is to be sought in a personality and not in a theory, and no one has arisen to dispute His words who said, "I am the truth." It is to Him that I ask you to come. Well may you say to Him: "I have heard of Thee that Thou canst make interpretations and dissolve doubts." What Batter* It is not, of course, the highest argument for Christianity, but it is always well tot ask one wr.o is refusing Christ what substitute he has for Him. Upon what is he relying to escape from his sins? What sure comfort has he for his sorrows? What evidence has he of immortality? Whence has he earned certainty as to the character of God? What upholds him in his work in the world? Where ?.oes he find power to conquer temptation? Often, it . man can be made to see his poverty, he will seek the true riches. The Rudder of the Day. The first hour of the morning is the rudder the day. It is a blessed baptism which gives the first waking thoughts into the bosom of God.?Henry Ward Beecher. ?
