There was a large attendance at both morning and evening services in the First. German Baptist church on Hickory street yesterday which took the forrh of a dedication following a thorough renovation of the sacred edifice, which has transformed, it to an artistic and attractive house of worship. The morning services began at 10 o'clock when every seat was occupied and an aloquent sermon was delivered by Rev.

A. J. Schuite, general secretary of the Baptist Missions in' United States and Canada. A review ofjthe chiurch from Its inception was given by pastor J. S.

chmltt. who gave.a clear, concise history oft the congregation since It was first organized thirteen years ago, when he took charge, to the present time. The services at night were also largely attended, and several clergymen, including Revs. Bchoettle. of Hyde Park; Randolph, of Petersburg, and Dr.

B. J. Schmidt, of the Church of Peace, were present. 1 An interesting programme was given at both services in which the choir took a leading part. The church, which has seating capacity of 300; has been painted outside and in, and new carpets, lights, seats' and a beautiful mahogany altar Installed, and the entire cost has already been met by the worshippers.

NOMINATED OFFICERS. 'A well attended and lively session of the Junger Mennerchor was held In Germania hall on Cedar avenue yesterday afternoon, when a new set of officers were placed in nomination as follows: President, Jacob Emick; vice president. Alfred Gutheinz, and Gustav secretary, Fred Buck and Paul demons; financial secretary, William Zlesmer; treasurer, Alfred Gut helnx; trustee for three years, Otto Schlltinger. Several of the old were tendered a renomination, notably President Otto Robinson, but declined. No changes will be made in treasurer, or financial secretary, however, as all refused a nomination against the present Officials.

Messrs. Guthelnz and Ziesmer. Gutheinr. was also proposed for vice president, but it is likely he will decline. A committee was then instructed to arrange an entertainment for the members, their wives or ladies, and those who so ably assisted in making the minstrel show a grand success.

The social and reception will take place some time next month after1, the election, BEATEN OXCEl MORE.

Even more misleading than the flora.

And fauna is the topography of the various shields. These might be supposed to represent the typical landscapes of the states, and often this is the case. But while we might approve of a mountain chain on shields of tbe Rocky mountain states it is certainly misleading to find in the background of tbe shields of Florida, Ohio, Indiana, Kansas and Nebraska a series of Jotting and precipitous peaks which might fairly astound the denlxens of ChUa or Pero In the matter Of costume tbe task of our self taught heralds was more than uncommonly difficult The, timeless universality which from the artistic standpoint la so great a recommendation of the undraped human figure for coins or statues they could not utilize. ThV iinconscous nudltiee of sculpture shocked the pioneer, and even tbe cultured descendants of the Puritans objected to the Bacchante out of doors. In consequence of our strong national feeling which identifies clothing and respectability the designers studiously avoided the undraped figure and of tours found great difficulty in bjittlng upon a substitute costume at once statuesque and appropriate." Free flowing drapery, supposedly classic, infolds the goddesses who support the shields of New York and New Jersey.

Similar divinities on the shields of Virginia and California are supplied with helmets and coata of mall. On the Maryland shield the human figures wear the uniforms of the beefeaters of the Tower of London, wtyle on the shield of Georgia the cocked hat and knee breeches of the Georgian epoch Then comes the delugel Bed slilrtea plowmen, sraitha, miners and the ubiquitous pioneer, with his trousers tucked Into his boots, decorate, if that term may be so desecrated, fully a dozen coats of arms. Tbe approved style of headgear is tbe derby with a low crown, known in the vernacular of a past decade as "tbe gumdrop style." Variations upon this typical pioneer costume are found in tbe traditional long cape overcoat worn by our soldiers in the civil war and occasionally by our recognized senatorial toga. Both of these variants appear on the shield of Kentucky, where two maudlin looking individuals literally exemplify the state motto, "United We, Stand; Divided We Fall." certain bathos of conception frequently manifests itself either in the scene portrayed on tbe shield or In tbe appended motto. Thus Virginia' attitudinizing armor clad goddess, with her sword drawn, stamping on a prostrate figure and exclaiming "Bic semper tyrannls" is rather sophomoric, to say the least Tbe shield of Arkansas portrays a scene which suggests an untutored darky's picture of the second advent.

A goddess in heaven surrounded by a circle of stars bears in ner hand a wreath, while below her an angel grasps an eagle, who holds in his mouth a scroll bearing the "Po puli Hegnant." On the shield of Wyoming are emblazoned two monumental pillars surmounted and infolded by a scroll on which one reads, in letters of the same size, "Equal Rights Live Stock Grain Mines This is unpleasantly suggestive of an implied parity of values. The causes of the artistic failures are primarily a Jack of unity and simplicity in design and an attempt to surcharge a limited area with a bewildering wealth of inharmonious detail. The secondary causes have been a civic exuberance that will submit to no artistic check or and an effort to preserve historical associations without" first Idealizing tbe symbolism of bygone epochs.

THE Tba bvercrawdlaa of Petal! Vpra ft I Malta Sarfaea la tj Shlelds Ia. ooBcraltloo of tae DmIisi os BO of the Eaklom. i It would argue a singular Absence of patriotic feeling or an exceptional degree of Intellectual detachment to be able to assess the merits of tbe national flag viewed wholly" from the aesthetic standpoint It to possible that a denationalized cosmopolite like the late Mr. Whistler could pronounce an unbiased Judgment upon the relative artistic merits of the flags of th various nations, but the ordinary cltt sen who should pronounce the stars and stripes aught but the acme of artistic perfection would be voted akin to him "that would peep and botanlse uptfn his mother's grave." Ih the flag we see glorious memories and lofty, ideals, not harmonies of color, or, rather, we never truly see the flag at all, but its sight evokes a flow of feeling which we mistakenly identify with the national banner. Much the same Seep seated sentiment attaches to our Datlonal coat of arms, the agio and, the shield.

Both the flag and the national escutcheon are rightly Immutable. But the matter is wholly different with the seals and coats of arms of our various commonwealths. The chances ire that the ordinary citizen of fair intelligence would be at a loss for an answer if asked offhand to describe the seal of his own state. It is not therefore an altogether hopeless task to essay a few observations upon the artistic merits and defects of state teals with the idea of effecting an improvement in some of them. Timely alteration is the more necessary because the state shields are employed more and more for 'the architectural ornamentation of public buildings.

There is, of course, no reasonwe may as well admit it at once why our state coats of arms should conform technically to heraldic requirements so long as they do not violate the more Imperative behests of good taste. Not a few of the states have seals which are dignified, beautiful to the eye and graced by symbols of historical association. Thus the Calvert arms, which have been transformed into the of ficlal shield of Maryland, satisfy all of these desiderata. Bo, too. the state seal of Connecticut three conventionalized grapevines upon a plain field surmounting a scroll with the motto, "Qui Transtulit is altogethw in good taste.

Many of the shields offend the eye, however, and the most common causes of offense are the overcrowding of details upon ft limited surface, the inartistic attempt to preserve traces of historical association, the use of misleading symbolical representations and occasionally an undiscrlml nating and exuberant civic magniloquence which culminates in the veriest artistic bathos. Some one has suggested that if our civilization were suddenly to be blotted out, and the sole remaining monuments were our gravestones, the Inscriptions and figures thereon would produce a most bewildering misconception of our views upon most subjects of human interest. Very similar would be the result if all that remained to the far off historian and archaeologist, ns the sources of our history, were the coats of arms of our commonwealths. For example, they would certainly be mystified as to the Indian aborigines. The noble red man appears on three shields and in three distinct gnrbs.

On the Massachusetts shield stands natty Bumpo, shapely and mus culnr in build, clad snugly in his deerskin Jacket and leggings, with bow and arrows in band and a couple of crow feathers cocked stilt In bis hair one, by the way, of the best shields, artistically considered, of tbe whole lot. On Florida's ehield stands a placid and buxom Mrs. Lo, with fringed skirt falling to tbe knee she wbose.image formerly advertised tbe tobacconist'f shop holding a branch, presumably of the weed, doubtless portraying the aboriginal race that inhabited the Everglades. But the height of philistinlc vulgarity is reached in tbe shield of Oklahoma. Here a melodramatic Indian of the dime novel variety, who is made to look like an iguana or horned toad by a ten foot string of feathers down bis back, is striking bands with a plebeian white, while before them both an 'impassive Goddess of Liberty in a star spangled waist and a red and white bunting striped skirt boids aloft the scales of Justice.

Equally baffling to the future archaeologist la the industrial equipment represented on state shields. In the effort to preserve historical associations of an inanimate kind the designers of our republican escutcheons have accumulated a prodigious assortment of machines and other Impedimenta which today savor less of antiquity than of the Junk shop. Antique plows such as Cincinnati) would have discarded, sea craft' of wonderful pattern, sail bearing canal boats, steam brigs and side wheelers beside which a trireme looks modern lie in hopeless Juxtaposition with tbe cornucopia, tlio Phrygian cop or plleus aud similar classical porapberpalla. How early was this tendency to mix1 classical and colonial symbols Is amusingly illustrated in a letter written by John Adams to his wife, the redoubtable Abigail, under date of Aug. 14, 1770.

1 He relates that be has been put upon a committee of congress, to prepare device "fof a great seaj for the confederated states'' and recounts va4 rious devices suggested by by Franklin and by himself, One of the designs proposed to tbe committee represented on one side of tbe seal, "Liberty with her pileus; on the other a rlfliT in bis uniform, with his rifle gun in one hand and his tomahawk In tbe other, this dress and these troops, with this kind of armour, being pecullur to ADJcrica. unless the Cross was known to the Jlomans."

Tha Qnr War Thmt May Xames Hava Bees Corrupted. Foreign words have often been roughly handled. In India, for example, a certain kind of large orange is called a 'pimple pose." This is the Tamil "bambuliroas." "Jerked beef" is not beef that has been Jerked, but tbe Peruvian word "cbarqui." A "compound," the inclosure round a bungalow, is the Malayan "kampung." Catchup is the Chinese kwaitchap." Many folk etymologies are amusing. We talk of Jerusalem artichokes. Jerusalem has nothing to do with the vegetable at all, Tbe name comes from the Italian "girasole," the flower which turns with the sun.

Nor do Jordan almonds come from the banks of that famous stream. Jordan Is simply Jardin. A Jordan almond is merely a common or garden almond. Hawthorn is pot the thorn which bears haws. It is tbe old English bags thorn, or hedge thorn.

Pennyroyal is pulial royal, from Pulegium regium, or fleobnne, A good dialect name for the bat is airy mouse, or hairy mouse. These are both corruptions of the old English hrere mus I. flying mouse. The name Neddy for a donkey or a simpleton has no connection with Edward. It is "an eddy," the old English "edd," or "eadlg," meaning iunocent, and therefore by Implication easily imposed Upon.

The aisle of a church has no right to Its fantastic spelling. The 'V has lieen thrust In on the mistaken Idea that it was connected with "isle" or "island." It Is really "ala," a wing. When "people talk of the middle aisle, they further confuse it with the French allee. "Frontispiece should be frontls pice. The last syllable is from the Latin "spltio" and has nothing to do with "piece." Choke full docs not really suggest choking, but the chock or chuck, which was the Saxou for throat.

Outrage has nothing to do with rage. It Is not out rage, but outr oge, the root idea being excess (French outre), pot passion. Jaunty Is genty 1. genteel. Gingerly is the samo in the comparative degree.

A dressing down is a thrashing down. A boy who Is up to larks is a boy who "lakes" or plays. "La king" for holiday making is still the usual word in Yorkshire or Lancashire. If you call a maiden "a bonny tbe bird really paeans bride. The entbet rusty for cross has nothing to do with rusty iron.

It originally was "resty," applied to a horse and meaning stubborn. Rusty bacon is reasty baconthat is to say, It has stood too long, (French teste.) A rakebell, or rake, is not a man who acts as stoker for Satan, but in old English rakel I. rash and riotous. Argosy has nothing to do with Ja on'a sjilp, the Argo, but comes from ragosle, a vessel of Itaguso. The black art is wrougly named.

A wan weighing 200 pounds is made up of 120 pounds of water and 80 pouuds of solids.

Tbe skin contains 72 per cent, the brain 75 and the muscle 75.
