There arc many places which men of moderate ability can fill. "God does oot uvike many ilrst-class men because He has not many first-class places to 'fill," is one of Mr.

Spurgcon's pithy remarks. For every general there must thousands of soldiers, and for every eacher there must be scores of schol- ts. It is comparatively easy for the ramble workers to find and roach their There are lowly duties to be icrformed in every Sabbath-school, ongregu.tioi-1 and community, which in keeping with their capacity; and Ittithf ness here is sure to open a wider field. These less talented, men are delivered from the heavier responsibilities which rest upon some of their fellows. Many a Dives may wish, on the day when all ans judged according to way they have used their blessings, that he had lived arid died a Lnr.si.rus-, many a learned professor may find his learning a millstone about Jii.s'ni-e'k.

some respects it is a desirable thing to be possessed of but a moderate ability.

They do not wait for others to take the load; iheir only anxiety is to know what, the Lord would have thorn to do.

It is jntvrvelous the. good they accomplish, "When tliov die a multitude testifies to usefulness, and their friends and aeig-hbors discover that a grout man Bus fallen.

THE TRUE MEASURE. The world looks deeper, pects, and rightly so, to find more abiding results.

The spirit of Christianity must penetrate every fiber of the Christian life, working itself out in the practical, everyday by which in the final test he is always judged by his fellows. This higher kind of utilitarian ism is bnt the logical outcome of Christianity's noblest ideal. The world has never heard another discourse so practical as the Sermon on the Mount. And, after all. it is in the discharge of these practical duties that the young man of the Christian young his greatest shortcomings.

In the performance of those broad obligations which church or association connection has fixed upon him he may make a favorable impression. Hut when it comes to such seeming trivialities us promptitude in meeting engagements, honesty in small a'll'airs, devotion to the interests of his employer, the keeping of a promise, even when: it requires some self-sacrifice, the 'performance of little duties that may bo disagreeable, consideration for others, and the Inimlred-and-onc little amenities that BHV comprised within the Gulden Rule, it is then that he is often weighed and found wanting. These practical details arc the real tests of character. No one is far advanced us not to need improvement, and nu one is so deficient as to be beyond tho hope of doing better. Christianity helps man to the attainment of his higher and belter manhood, only to the extent that he uses the menus at his disposal for the attainment of that end, It is the practical details of duty, laid stone upon stone, that build the symmetrical and beautifully finished life.

Young Men's Era. SEARCHING FOR THE GOOD. A Tlmucht on IcrliiK Compuny One Kccim li.v Outward Apinriiritnccrt. It is often said that a man is known by the company he keeps. So he could be, in some degree least, if tho "coin- punv" could be known.

The company which si man keeps in another is not often all of that other. It may bo his virtue, desires, tastes, feelings, his pursuits, interests, accomplishments, possessions. One may keep the company of the scholarship in a man careless in dress: of the line tastes in one of no scholarship; of the sweet spirit, the noble aspirations, the philanthropic energies of this one or that one whose surface actions or appearances do not highly recommend him. On the other hand, one may keep the company of the fool is li inanities, the Jow language, and the evil passions of one who "comes of good family" and lives handsomely. Many a worthy person is given the goby lest some unfortunate trnit or surface defect might lead the critical world to suppose that his -undesirable side is that which we a-re seeking, or, at least, do not object to.

The real question is: What is it in that mau which this man loves to keep company with'. 1 Boos this one see in the company of that one the possibility of being uplifted and of being' an uplifter? 'There are noble sentiments to be found in the denizens of the slums. He who keeps company with the finer side of human nature under a forbidding aspect, is keeping fine company. lie is not to bo adjudged a lover of filth or of evil simply because he is found among it. If we would elevate onr fellowmen either in the walks of low life or so-called high life, we must see their possibility of good, and keep company with that good.

"Love of truth," says a profound thinker, "shows itself in this, that a man knows how lo find and value the good in S. Times. of I-lttle "ml of -Utf rrac- tlcal ChrlnUaolty. In this practical age it is the men of action who are most in demand. Theory is of value only in so far as the principle underneath it can be applied to the purpose in view.

A man is measured now-a-days, not so much by the he may entertain, on a -iven subject, as by his ability to buckle down and clear a path through the rough difficulties that beset him. True, there must be a theory to start bnt it mast be practical, and Hoy's Kobnke, 'It is said that a Karen boy, when asked to urge a Christian congregation to send, the Gospel to his people, an! swercd: 'If they do not mind Jesus, how do you expect them to mind The Kent Giirnii'iitn.

"0 1 dislike the excess iveljs" replied the other, "but 1 have been learning to cat'them so BLS to have something to give up during Lent." They were well dressed women who had been out shopping, and had dropped into this fashionable lunch room to refresh themselves after a hard day's work. Did anyone smile at the suggestion -that they been working'.

1 If so, let him spend a day going about "just unpardonable sin in the salesman's eyes. It is small wonder that the salesman loses his patience. Ilowcvc-r, there are two classes of people who have every excuse for betaking themselves to a lunatic asylum out of preference. Ono is the ranch abused motormun, who is in constant, dread of, the small boy whoso life is apparently of so small moment to the possessor The other includes salesmen of all descriptions who have to deal with women. Of these the dealers in materials for women's adornment have the most lo bear.

While standing beside tho.erepon counter for five minutes, in one of the big Jfcw York houses, I heard the salesman answer same question thirty-five times. He answered in the same even toue each time, and showed the same interest in each possible buyer. It seems a pity that some automatic arrangement could not be made by which idle inquirers could press a button and get a phonographic reply, instead of requiring a roan to make a parrot of himself for the benefit of inveterate shoppers. The particular piece of goods which lor a swrt, ana this would Dring cne orice of material up to $7.40. Still, cheaper varieties may be bought, and of course will be; bnt these are more closely crumpled, making finer vcrink- Ides.

"The really fashionable kind Is crumpled in good-sized welts and blisters, cpecially in the new blacks. Among colored crepons old blues and dull greens arc. tbe most noticeable shades. They can be bought for OS cents, and on the bargain counter there arc some very pretty varieties for 60 cents. These will be made into street dresses, with passementerie trimmings.

The new passementerie, by the way, is nearly all jetted or spangled ribbon oi so.me'kind. White satin ribbon is used as" a background for the delicate varieties. Over this are set sequins and paillettes in different shades, green being the favorite. Steel embroidery or dull blue ribbon is also a novelty. This trimming will be used to border panels up and down the skirts, and as a finish to yokes and the like.

Passe- menterie with a scalloped or pointed edge will also be used on street Crosses. A gown of nickel gray cloth has trimming of fine black passementerie. It is made with a short jacket, for which women of short stature should be devoutly thankful. Those long jackets, with so little of the skirt showing below, made dwarfs of half the women who wore them. This jacket has embryo godets in the back, but they are, of "course, not long enough to develop into full-fledged plaits.

is trimmed aronnd the edge with the passementerie. A wide marine collar of white benga- line is trimmed with passemcntrie and edged with feather trimming. Underneath the jacket, is a vest of gray surah laid in plaits swul brought under a crush belt and collar of the same material. The skirl is round and trimmed with the passementerie that appears on the jacket. A new variety of vest is coming in.

It suggests the full dress vest that men wear? but it is not so A spring dress with this vest is made of a beige serg-c. jacket is cut zouave fashion, revealing a waistcoat of. red cloth, which is buttoned with small brass buttons. The waistcoat is cutoval shape and a chemisette and collar of white" bBitisto is inserted. The revcrs are ornamented with fancy buttons.

Buttons arc sufficient trimming for the handsomest gown if they are only handsome buttons. Those set with brilliants and enameled are the most cosily. Others are very finely cut steel, and some arc fancy pearl. Spring hats are so covered with flowers that the straw beneath is scarcely visible. The flowers used are of the ag- trouble milliners.

The correct thing to wear around one's neck is a ilower boa. A pretty ono made of little bunches of violets alternating with two or three large leaves was tied with violet satin ribbon. Another was made oi large rod roses leaves. These wore marked fifteen dollars and half, but if one happens to have'some flowers loft from last summer's hat. it is possible lo have such a boa for almost nothing.

They may be tied with sit in ribbon or nuisnea witn a full of wide cream lace, nothing makes so pretty a finish for a pretty costume. ALICE AIIMOKV. You call me a but I am prepared to tive ten marks lo any one who proves the to "VYespen. attracted so much attention was a new importation of fine silk and wool cre- pon. It came in four colors only, two of -which were exhibited on the counter.

One of these was a light blue. There was an underwcavc of light blue wool, and over this the cropon was crumpled into fine little wrinkles until it looked like foam. A little black star was worked in at intervals of about two inches. Another shade looked like the foam on a strawberry ice-cream soda, or like the pale pink of a watermelon. Tho other two shades were pale yellow nnd Nile green.

The salesman called it novelty erepon, but I should call it "foaui crcpon, 1 as it looks like nothing else so much. It was four dollars a yard, and forty-five inches wide. Another entirely different variety was a fine golden brown silk erepon with an open work stripe through which was drawn pale green thread. This was three dollars and ninety-five cents a yard. A peculiar green on the sage tint was a little'nearer tho ordinary purse, being two dollars and sixty-five cents a yard.

At the same price was a mauve and a blue striped in hair stripes with black. This last was the most desirable of any of the varieties for spring and'summer wear. Silk cropons, however, are not for all of atty more than are wools for that matter. But the wool erepon is a little less unattainable than the silk, and is consequently more generally worn. the wool erepon counter was a lady who "already possessed a black erepon skirt buying material for another, which showed' that she was pleased with it- skirt had a band of mink fur around the bottom nnd she wore a Jamb's wool jacket with a flaring chinchilla collar that turned avcay at the neck to reveal a stock and chem- isette of buff-colored lace.

The variety she was looking- at sold for $3.25 a yard, "but there is a very nice quality of late -importation which can be had for $1.85 per vard.

A blacic lace hat was almost concealed beneath two immense red poppies tho ol peonies. A child's hat of black leghorn had five different kinds of flowers it.

It gave one the impression of having been trimmed with the nosegays picked by childish hands. The nodding buttercups and daisies and bachelor buttons wore mixed in with dandelions and poppies, and little tufts of grass peeped out here and there. Wild flowers of all the spring varieties are the for spring hats. A brown leghorn had cowslips and poppies and dandelions mingled Some hats are made entirely of flowers, with velvet bows as trimming. A hat of violets had eerise velvet bows and made a stunning finish for a stunning costume of gray serge.

This gown had a bolero of cream lace on the bodice. At the neck was a bow of cerise velvet like that on the hat. The skirt made with a panel in front, and slightly draped ovor the hips. Around the bottom was a band of cream lace. Another costume, equally striking, with a hat of flowers, was of amazon cloth.

The gown was made princess fashion, and buttoned with fancy buttons in'front. A jacket of black velvet embroidered with jet was also edged with fur. The sleeves were of black and white striped silk, cut on the bias. The hat is trimmed with blue anomaly which does not ACCIDENTAL The Fa to of Snviil Oillrpr Who Was Hated liy Th3V were telling incidents in tho life of a prominent and ivi-althy man who had recently little tricks ho had played to catch his workmen napping, the ways he had employed to impress discipline upon thorn and his successful manner of getting.their best effort out of them.

"I have seen a great many men, aud some of them very bad ones, success- fullv handled." he said, "in tho service, "but I don't believe 1 ever knew an officer who stooped to little tricks to be successful in commanding men.

And I have seen men go wild at tho shook of it, but could never be made to seG that his way was unfair and bullying. A man was asleep when ho sh'ould be awake. Ho really deserved punishment, but did not punish him. He merely recalled him to his sense of duty.

"I remember one night on deck when the weather was terrible. It was as black as pitch, and a man couldn't see where he was going or go where he wanted to go. A seaman bumped into and quick as a Hash hit out, striking the man in the chest. Instantly I saw in the darkness a great arm and fist go up, and I expected to see (a little fellow he was, with a shrill, high-pitched'voice) smashed into the deek planking by the weight-, and'strength of the powerful seaman who towered over him. But in that instant X- raised his thin voice in an angrv cry.

But hatred in his heart, the passion that had prompted him to crush the officer, the savagery that was in man could not sink them sis ho could drawdown his powerful arm. 1 don't believe there was ever a man more hated by his than was aad all on account of his narfging and his potty tyranny.

There no sound in advance, no cry of warning, no wild veil always happens when there is an accident on shipboard. Suddenly the topmast came away from those who wore lowering it, caught and unprepared, tarried him down heavily to the dock, and he was dead.

That was accident if over evidence counted for anything. Tho men could not explain how the topgallant yard got away from them, ainf when'a. tiling like that starts to fall there is no stopping.it. -But I have often wondered over it.
