the case. Kale bread contains almost

An Ancestral Pcttieont.
A marvelous example of Q time
needlework has found its way into one
of the exchanges for women's work in
this city through the impecuniousness
of the family in which it has long been
cherished as an heirloom.
It is a piece of the quilted work which
has become one of the lost arts in these
days, and was the border of a petticoat
worn by some richly clad German dame
HO years ago. The strip is half a yard
in width and about three yards in length.
It consists of two thicknesses of fine
white cotton with a soft interlining. It
is-auilted all over with anexxuisite
medley of Uowers, foliage and ara
besques, into which is wroughtevery va
riety of stitch known to expert needle-
cral t. In those days there were no other
ornaments nor any devices for stamping.
The patient lingers that fashioned such
work also made their own designs, drew
them with a needle, free hand, as they
went along, and so this petticoat border
was the work of an artist as will as a
clever needle woman. The fabric is
stiff wifJurtitches there are billions of
them and the surface puts one in mind
of a piece of line repousse work in white
silver.
The woman who is now compelled to
part with it has a pitiful story. She
and her husband in their advanced age
were forced by reverses to emigrate to
the far west, w here in an unsettled coun

He Couldn't Dance.
A prominent society girl was attend
ing a dancing party, and among the
men introduced to her was a college,
student a tall, fine looking fellow of
athletic build. While they were con
versing the orchestra struck up a gal
lop, and lie said, "Shall we promenade?
I don't gallop." They walked and talked
for a few seconds; then Miss Kosebud,
whose little feet were fairly aching to
fly over the smooth floor, said with a
beseeching glance: "'lhat music is so
lovely. Don't you think you coull gal
lop if you tried? It's very easy, you
know just four slides." The upward
look through through the long lashes
must have been hard to resist, but the
response was crushing and incontrover

but realy and truely I can't dance-

poor little Miss P.osebud took the re

The Sash is a Sensible Thldg.
Xew Yorkers suffered from the heat
in the summer for a great many decades
before they got down to common-sense
hot weather clothing which so many of
them now wear. 1 1 was the commonest
thing in the svorld for Xew York men,
including many who were wealthy and
w hose tastes in dress were exceptiona
ble, to struggle through the hot term in
black broadcloth, heavy beaver hate,
black boots. At the time, however, the
latter-day hot-weather attire was un
known, for the delicate fashions ofjBum
mer fabrics now in vogue have come
from the manufacturers within the past
few months. Pongee, flannel, silk, and
canvas shirts, low, thin.andcool, russet
leather shoes, and the masculine sash
were unknown in those days. The sash
by the way.is by no means a vain and
affected garment. It is, on the coutrary
when kept within reasonable bounds,
one of the most sensible innovations in
man's dress that has been noted of late
The straps which men wear over their
shoulders ordinarily do more toward
making the heat unendurable then the
coats or waistcoats. Xew York Sun.

office.
"I'll see you shortly, sir," was the
curt reply.
"But a second is all I want," persist
ed the caller.
"I'll see you directly, sir," with stern
ness. The visitor took a seat in the general
reception room, read the afternoon pa
per, looked at the pictures and played
with the dog. After thirty minutes or
more had passed the medicine man
came out of his den and, with an air of
condescension, said to the visitor;
"Well, now, sir, I am at your service.
Your turn has come. What can I do
for your"

her lines in a fairly decent fashion.
Sow," he said, having disposed of
this knotty problem,'! must make some
iirrangement for the third part.
A little woman who was standing on
the stage came forward and said firmly:
I would like to play that part."
She was one of those women who are
to be found in every play, one who is a
lady-in-waiting lu one scene, a part of
the mob in another, and perhaps one of
a garden party in another one who
walks a great deal, changes her gowns
many times, but never says anything.
When she voluuteered to try the part
the manager was vexed
"Why," said he curtly, "you have never
had a line, have you?"
"Xot many," she answered simply.
"You haven't two hours to learn the
lines." -
"Oh, I know them very well. Won't
you rehearse me?"
"Well," said the manager doubtfully.
"1 suppose I must We have got to do
something. Come, let's try it."
As the quiet little woman with the
serious eyes went over the lines a pleased
smile spread over the manager's face.
He nodded his head approvingly as she
continued, and she, encouraged by hie
friendliness, lost her first shyness and
ended with a fire and spirit which called
forth from the worried manager a
hearty cry of applause.
"Good!" he cried. "You do better
than Miss M , who is going to take
the second part A h," he added, a shade
of disappointment darkening his face,
"if you only knew those lines.
"But I do," she said, delightedly.
"You do? Then rattle them off jue
as fast as your tongue can wag."
So they went through those lines, the
manager becoming more and more
cheerful Miss M , glad to be re
lieved of ' her responsibility, was re
hearsed in the lines of the third part.
The curtain was a few minutes late In
rising that night, but it was a smiling
and grateful manager who watched a
little woman, whose name he had not
thought to ask, save the company in so
graceful a fashion. When the curtain
came down on the last scene he asked
her how she happened to know the
lines.
"1 learned them," was the happy re
ply. "I know all the lines in the play.'
"But you rehearse so well?"
"Oh, I used to rehearse myself in my
room after the play. I thought I could
do it," she said, with a proud smile on
her face.
The actress whose place she had as
sumed did not appear on the next night.
She had been sent home seriously ill.
When the play opened in the next town
there was a new name on the programme
a name which had never before been
on any programme, and the little woman
whose pluck and intelligence had saved
the company played that part for the
rest of the season. Xew York Tribuu

jieriment and of the testimony is in the
text: "linn hath Cod raised from the
dead, whereof we are witnesses"
Xow let me jilay Ihe skeptic for a
moment. "There is mi God," says the
skeptic, "for 1 have never seen Him
with my jihysical eyesight Your
Uible is a jmck of contradictions. There
never was a miracle. Lazarus was not
dead, and the water was never turned
into wine. Your religion is an imjiosi
tion on the credulity of Ilia ages.'1
There is an aged man moving in that
pew as though he would like to resjiond.
Here are hundreds of jiejile with faces
a little Unshed at these announce
ments, and all through the throng there
is a supjiressed feeling which would
like to sjieak out in behalf of the truth
of our glorious Christianity, as in the
davs of the text, crying out, "We are
witnesses!"
Our weapon In this conflict is faith,
not logic; faith, not profundity; faith,
nvt scholastic exploration. Jut then
i
In order to have faith, we must have
testimony, and if 500 men, or ,000 men
or MO.OOO men, or 5,000,000 men get up
and tell me that they have felt the re
ligion of Jesus Christ a joy, a comfort
help, an inspiration, 1 am bound as a
fair-minded man to accept their testi
mony. I want just now to put oeiore
you three projiositions, the truth of
which 1 think this audience" will at
test with overwhelming tinarnimity.
The first jirojiosition is: We are wit
nesses that the religion of Christ is
able to convert a soul. The gosiiel
may have had a hard time to conquer
us, we may have fought it back, but
we were vanquished. You say coir
version is only an imaginary thing.
We are witnesses." There never was
so great a change in our heart and life
on any other subject as on this.
But why go so far to find evidences
Of the gosjiel's jower to save a soul?
',V'e are witnesses." We are so proud
that no man could have humbled us;
we ate so hard that no earthly power
could have melted us; angels of God
were all around about us: they could
not overcome us; but one day, jierhaps
at a Methodist anxious seat, or at a
I'resbyterian catechetical lecture, or at
a burial, or on horseback, and power
seized us, and made us get down, and
made us tremble, and made us kneel,
and made us cry for mercy, mid we
tried to wrench ourselves away from
the grasp, but we could not It flung
us flat, and when we arose we were as
much changed as Caurgis, the heathen,
who went into the jirayer meeting with
a dagger and a gun, to disturb the
meeting and destroy it, but the next
day was lound crying; "Oil! my great
sins! Oh! my great Savior!" and for
eleven years preached the gose.l of
Christ to his fellow mountaineers, the
last words on Ids dying liis being
"free gra- e!" Oh, it was free grace!
Xow, if I should demand that all
those people here present who have
felt the converting jwwer of rllgion
should rise, Jo far from being ashamed,
they would sjiring to their feet wih
more alacrity than they ever sprang to
the dance, the tears mingling with
their exhilaration as they cry. "We
are witnesses!" a ml ns they tried to
sing the old gospel hymn they would
break down with emotion by the time
they got to the second line:

Again, I remark that v.e are wit
nesses of the th fact tnat religion has
jiowerto give comjosiire in the las
moment. 1 shall never forget the first
time 1 confronted death. We went
across the cornfields in Ihe country. I
we
came to the farm house where the
bereavement had come au 1 we saw the
crowd of wagons and carriages; but
there was one carriage that esjierially
attracted my bovish attention, and it
had black jdunies. I said: "What's
that? what's that? W hy those black
tassels at the t oji? And af er it was
explained to me, I was lifted up toonk
upon the bright face of an aged Chris
tian woman, who three -.lays In-fore
had departed in triumph. The whole
scene made au impression 1 never for
got. Now, in courts, attorney, jury and
judge will never admit mere heirsay.
I hey demand that the witness must
have s'-en with his own eyes, or heard
with his own ears, and so I am critical
in my ovu examination of you now;
and 1 want to know whether you have
seen or her anything that makes you
)elieve that the religion of Christ gives
composure In the final hour.
Here are jople who say, "I saw a
Christian brother die, and he tri
umphed." ome one else will say, '1
saw a Christian daughter die, and she
triumphed." ( ouie. all ye who have
seen the last moments of a Christian
and give testimony in this canst! on
trial. I'ncover your heads, put your
hand on the old family Jlihle, from
which they used (o read the promises,
and promise in the jiresenre of high
heaven that you will tell the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the trutli.
With what you have seen with your
own eyes and from what you have
heard with your own ears, U there
jiower in this gospel to give calmness
and triumph in the last exigency? The
response comes from all sides, from
yuiuig and old and middle aged: ,:Ve
are w itnesses.
If ten men should come to you when
you are Bick with appalling sickness,
and say they had the same sickness
and took a icrtain medicine and it
cured thein, ; on would probably take it.
Xow, suppose ten other men should
come up line say, "We don't believe th,V.
there is itnything ii that medicine."
"Well," I say, "have you you tried il?"
"No. I never tried i but. I don, be
lieve that there is anything lit if Of
course you discredit theii testimony.
The skeptic may come and say, '""here
is no power In your religion." "Hav,.
you ever tried il?" "Xo, no." "Then
avaunt!" Let me take the testimony
of the millions of souls that have been
converted to God, and comforted in
trial, and solaced in the last hour. We
will take their testimony as tin y cry,
