Tht wonder grows that a man should wait to be kicked out of an or ganisation whose dogmas he rejects and whose teachings he ridicules, and the worst of It Is that It seems to be true 1 most entirely cf preachers. The layman who undergoes a change of religious faith does not wait to be. told to quit. He seeks another communion, or none al all, and that Is the end of It. The clergyman alone has to be served with a writ of ejectment. Washington Post: A proposition to Introduce a vested choir has split a Philadelphia Methodist church In twain.

Didn't ou know she was a bargain fiend?" A:itKU Paris letter: Elaborate toilets find a fitting complement In the elegance and graee of the parasols which form a charming corollary to the other ornate accessories of one's dress this ser.son. Madame is just now more intent upon selecting for herself a number of pretty specimens of this dainty toilet adjunct than she is upon anything else In con nection with her wardrobe, and the windows of the Rue de la Palx shops are this week fairly flooded or, more cor rectly speaking. Inflated with the beau tiful new designs. The limit seems to have been reached in extravagance both as regards mater ials and styles. j This need not dishearten the dresser of moderate tastes, however, as very pretty effects are attainable for a small outlay if one is economically inclined. A white, or a black and white para sol, for instance, may be correctly worn with any costume, while the white par asol may be relieved, if so desired, with the dainty effects of the new colored borders. Parasols to match the gown are quite the correct thing, but this means, of course, a large outlay for the purpose. The chiffon parasol, made of flowered FIGURED LAWN GOWN. Dainty lawn frock, the corsage fastened at the side. The tucked front has a yoke of lace, covered with violet ribbon, crossed over and under and edged with a bias band of silk covered with French knots. Lace, tie, and black lace hat with black plume. Violet taffeta parasol embroid ered in pink and green. chiffon, finished with ruches of the same material, is among the latest models. 'lue most alluring effects are ob tained by combining chiffon with plain taffeta In white or the reigning tint in the flowers. The silk, which Is tucked, covers about half the frame, from the top down, being finished on the edge with a ruche. The most beautiful parasols perhaps, are made of the art nouvnau silk, with large, shadowy flowers blending with each other with harmonious, although hazy colorings; another fancy, equally pretty, being the Watteau parasols, with long crook handles, and dainty pat terned floral garnitures. The linen colored parasol is particu larly appropriate for the tub dresses, as our English sisters have dubbed the season's washable novelties. The main feature on the more elaborate of these Is the shirring and tucking, a petal puff at the point being the newest feature. This has been named the tulip top as the flower-like ptals stand up around the stick and spread out upon the para sol top as well, while the other trim mings lay flat upon the cover. Some of these linen colored parasols are bor dered with linen colored embroidery, others having lace Insertions. Chlffn, lace and emroldery form a very pretty and effective parasol. There Is not so much frill as formerly upon the most approved. Tho chiffon Is shir red and tucked and inset with lace in various designs, with posplbly, but not always, a slnglo frill on the edge. Vel vet ribbon Is a favorlto trimming for these parasol. Among the styles Intended to he worn with Individual costumes the silk pon gee parasols seem to be predominant, or those of ecru linen batiste embroidered with ilk polka dots matching the cos tume. These are seen covered with liny ruches of gauze ribbon of the same color or with ruches of the same batiste. A dalntr combination Is formed by j, ... motifs of black chantllly, Inset in col ored taffeta, while another handsome effect is obtained by black embroidered polka dots of large size, rather scat tered, on silk. Hut daintiest of all Is the parasol of silk with a four-Inch band of Venlse lace in appliqu around the edge. The latitude allowed in handles is al most illimitable. For the plain silks natural wood handles )n light color are the appropriate thing, "but those- of colored metals in various art combina tions are also approved, while Jewejled handles do not wane in favor. In fact, to have your monogram set in jewels is to secure what the less fortunate will covet. Carved elephant heads have late ly become popular on the wood handles whilst those finished with heads of dogs and birds are still seen in all the windows. While speaking of accessories, which for the moment, really are the most prominent objects of consideration among fashionables, reference must be made to the newest lace collar, which partakes practically of the dimensions of a small cape. : It Is so elaborate as to quite atone for a plain corsage, being very broad and complicated in design. One long narrow extension down the middle of the front tucks under the belt, while others extend to the shoul ders, a high stock rising close about the throat. Next to this in novelty comes the new muff, which is an equally distinctive feature. Without this muff and the ac companying boa. all the new costumes are considered incomplete. The sum mer muff3 are of chiffon or tulle, flow ers in silk also beins; popular. Black or white chiffon muff3 are moBt often seen, either being composed of consec utive layers of full flouncing. A big buckle In brilliants appropriately fin ishes the black muff. Pongee s!lfcs aro undoubtedly in the lead for summer dresses, although taf feta crepes, loulslnes and moire fou lards are also Been elsewhere. For an extra fashionable effect, nothing ap proaches a biscuit brown, hand-woven, embroidered pongee. It comes needle worked in the richnRt Oriental designs and colors, a thread of gold often appearing among the antique reds or greens of tho designs. Nothing could be better adapted on the part of coolness or durability for a HEAVY LINEN SUIT. Gown of heavy linen with vest of white tucked French linen. Blue collar And tie.

Es pecially does It invite rhe iis of ij'l semi-Oriental Jewelry, such as dull Del hi or old gold buckles cet with cloudy emeralds. The gown of pongee illustrated is made in box-plaits, which make the frill at the bottom of the skirt, the deep hem being hemstitched, while bands of red Btitched taffeta form the trimming on waist and skirt The sleeves are made In box-plaits to the elbow, thii3 forming the fulnes3. With this dress a red belt is worn. Another gown is of pink dimity. The yoke of corsage and skirt are alike shirred. The corsage is trimmed with embroidered bands running from the shoulder to belt. The belt is of the same material, as also are the cuffs and embroidered band at the top of the deep hem, which finishes the skirt. T havp llliiHtrnterl i fnarirt with pnrsnpfl front of lace, caught over the shoulder with narrow black velvet, fastened with steel buckles. The skirt is made with three flounces and trimmed with lace, the upper part being formed of tucks. The sleeves are trimmed with lace and velvet ribbon, the yoke is tucked. The collar Is of lace and three band3 of vel vet A pretty creation of figured violet lawn has the waist fastened at the side and has a tucked front or yoke of lace covered with violet ribbon crossed over and under. Bias bands of French knotted silk border this yoke lace tie. With this costume is worn allaok lace hat with black plumes, and a violet taf feta parasol, embroidered In pink roses and green leaves, is carried with it A heavy linen suit has a vest of white tucked French lines. With it is worn a blue collar and tie, reverse ttitched with blue and ornatnentsd with buttons of linen. The milliners also have fallen into line with the pongee craze and brought out a score of different tyrjes of hats made of thlq favored material. These Include elaborately stitched fedoras, wide brimmed, folding 'i hames hats and elaborate turbans. Others for travel and rough outing (prvica fire trimmed with pongee, crown scarfs with em broidery on broad, flat crown tops, bunche3 of variegated gTapea being set against the hair, where the masses of silky fold3 are lifted on the left side of the head. TWO GREAT CITIES. Sydney Bids Fair to Become the Largest City of Australia. New York Sun: Melbourne has al ways been the largest city of Australia. In lta phenomenal growth it can be compared only with Chicago and San Francisco. In 1835 it had a name and 14 inhabitants; in 1896 it contained 451, 000 persons. Gold made Melbourne. For 10 consecutive years the gold mines from 60 to 100 miles north and north west prodnced over 150:000,000 of gold every year. The many thousands of men required to mine this treasure bought their supplies In Melbourne and spent their money there. The city faced to the north, where the mines were; its back door was on the sea. But tho gold mines of Victoria have lost their old importance. They are still productive, but their yield i3 far inferior to that of the desert mlues of Western Australia. "Melbourne is slow ly losing the largest resource that made her great, and the wool and wheat trade Is not likely to fully compensate her for the declining mining interests. The city was said In 1891 to have 490,896 pop ulation, Including the suburbs. Five years later only 451,000 persons were counted in the city and its environs. The decline in population is probably only temporary, for Victoria is a very rich little state. Many miners have been drawn away by more flattering prospects elsewhere, but they will grad ually be replaced by permanent set tlers. The great city, however, seems des tined soon to lose its pre-eminence. Sydney is steadily increasing in pop ulation; by the last census it was only 42,000 under Melbourne s figures. Syd ney is growing, while Melbourne is scarcely holding her own. There are a number of reasons why Sydney will probably forge ahead and permanently maintain its lead among Australian pities. One reason is, because Sydney is on the east coast, where the largest popu lation and' the greatest development of Industries are found. Vessels in the foreign trade cannot visit all the lively little ports along this coast, and so Syd ney 13 a forwarding and receiving port for the trade of that entire coast. Mel bourne's commerce, on the other hand, Is largely confined to the little state of Victoria. It is not a great distrlbutory and in this respect Sydney has the ad vantage. Then, again, Sydney faces the Pa cific ocean, with its myriad islands, whose Inhabitants, for 2,000 miles, car ry on more or less trade, with the cap ital of New South Wales; but Mel bourne faces the Southern Indian ocean, which Is destitute of Islands, and, therefore, the capital of Victoria has no Island trade. Another factor to the advantage of Sydney Is that the Immense coal fields of Australia are at her very doors, and fuel is thus very easily and cheaply ob tained to feed her growing industries. Coal must be carried a longer distance to Melbourne, and thus her Industries are pi tadcaea ETAOIN ETAOINNNN are placed at a slight disadvantage. There are the most important reasons why Sydney has at last become the ter minal point of all the steamship lines In the Australian foreign trade, nnd why it is likely to take its place at the beadof Australian cities. Not a Question of Money. A man who went to Nebraska recent ly with orders from Ohio and Indiana feeders for 5,000 cattle, returned with out securing a single steer. It was not a question of money, but of getting tho cattle. Owners now do not have to send to market; buyers come to the farms. All farmers who carried stock over winter have made money. Even men with loans coming due on bunches of cattle ore not onxioun to sell. They can get all tho money they need at Chi cago ralcn. H.iy-ftJ cattlo oro ab normally high, bringing $4.75 to 15.

MAITXXA AND IT3 ttAT TKAPS. One Consists of a Small Boy With' a Eij Snake on His Arm.",' Manila Volcano: Have you seen th big enake and the email boy? Well, they will be around to see you. It is a displeaBing combination, but one whose alms possess quadruple qualities may be likened to a game of cards high, low, Jack nnd the game. The mission of boy and snake is high' the conversion of the public health; the calling low ihe catching of rata; the boy's name is Jack and the game? Well, it is both rodents and bounty. The manner in which the boy, through the snake's exertions, comes in possession of rat and bounty is unique. The boy, with the reptile on his arm, aBd gunny sack ia hand,-.enters the. court of a residence, and usually, after much palaver in corrupt language, se cures permission to begin the crusade. With vigilant and keen eye he lnspecta tho premises. In this inspection he dis plays training the most systematic and acute the gamin can discover a rat hole quicker than a seml-nuds savage on the firing line, hot in escape from American occupation and American soldiery. But the finding by Jack of one hole, while it pleases, doesn't satisfy hia ambition. He wants to find two, one of entrance, the other of egress. When be has located to his satisfaction the two holes he uncoils the repulsive crea ture from his arm, and planting both' feet upon it, brings forth from bidden recess of trousers a small net, the meshes of which are very fine. While trie serpent wriggles and twists anS' . darts forth from muzzle Its forked tongue, Jack, by crafty dexterity, places the net over the reptile's head and securely faRtens it with sinew. This done, the 6nake resumes its arm hold and is conveyed to one of the holes. The boy squats and forces the head of the creature into the hole. The snake, by some unknown force instinct ' or something else is certainly apprised of what its master wants, for its body slowly enters the hole and disappears. The small, embrowned boy runs to the, other hole, places the sack over it, and1 awaits the result with an anxious, what-will-the-harvest-be look on coun tenance. Sometimes the boy's face glows with.' capitalistic triumph, for a number of? rats scamper into the bag; sometimes neither rats nor snake appear, and then the boy feels bad. Nothing remains for him to do but wait. He does so, and hia patience is finally rewarded by the ap pearance of tho snake, whose hunt has been without quarry. The boy is so small and the snake 60 big that he has grown lop-sided in car rying it about for it is always coiled on the right arm. PKIJIITIVE JUSTICE IN IDAHO. The Judge Ate the Chicken and the Peddler Went Broke. Washington Times: Judge W. B. Heybnrn, of Wallace, Idaho, who comes) to Washington on matters before the supreme court, registered at the New, Willard during the week. " "'" "Contrary to Eastern impressions," said Judge Heyburn, 'we are develop ing quite a high state of civilization; in Idaho. It is not so very long ago,! however, that conditions were rather crude in our parts. We bad a Judge on the bench out there who was am unterrified product, I assure you. He had never read law, but had picked up; in some mining camp a copy of the; statutes of British Columbia, and he adjudicated cases by that code, and' some of his rulings were bizarre. One day a chicken peddler drifted that way from another state and was promptly arrested. " 'You are fined $50 for selling chick ens without a license," said the judge, and when he heard the evidence. " 'But I haven't that much money,' wailed the defendant. '"Make it $25, then," declared the judges. " 'I haven't even that amount,' fal tered the peddler. " 'How much have you got?' demand-' ed his honor. " 'Just $13.50,' replied the defenant. , " 'The prisoner is ordered to pay a' fine of $13.50,' exclaimed the judge, 'and his chickens are confiscated to the court.' "That night a penniless peddler went sobbing out of the village, an an un worthy judge regaled himself and his friends on the appropriated fowl. I am glad' to add that a higher sense of just ice now prevails in Idaho." . -The Sinful Brother. It was at a certain church meeting,, and the good bishop was calling for, Reports. He had a rather stern, sharp manner which sometimes Jarred a lit tle on the nerves of the more timid. By and by he came to Brother B., a lay delegate. "Brother B., what Is the spiritual condition of your church?" demanded the bishop, briskly. "I consider It good," said the brother. "What makes you think it is good?" went on the bishop. "Well, the people are religious. That's what makes me think so." "What do you call religious?" Do they have family prayer?" "Some of them no and some do not." "Do you mean to say that a man may be Christian and not hold family prayer?" "Yes, sir; I think so." "Do you hold family prayer?" "Yes, Blr," returned the brother quietly. "And yet you think a man may be a Christian and not hold family prayer?" "I have a brother who la a better man than I am who docs not hold family prayer." "What makes you think he la a better man than you are?" "Everybody says so, and I know he Is." "Why doea not your brother, If he is such a good man, hold family pray er?" thundered the bishop. "He has no family," meekly answer ed the brother. A. J. B. in the Drawer, Harpor'a for February. Met Their Match. Clarence Well, were your friends, Mrs. Hobba and Mrs. Dobba, congenial?
