She was a pretty g-irl, and an art student, i should by tho careful care- iMsnessof her disordered locks, and her of wise superiority of comprehcn- she was gazing at a portrait of-A" woman in a red bodice, a woman beauty, and with the cruel, aertsual lips and low, unlovely brow of fleeting type of the faddists, who, Sn every time, are alwaj's being-called toorder and always obey the call. "Artists," she said, '-have no original- Sty. They evolve tho blue mazes of paeflrringiess like that Twatch- I i yonder, only alter the impression- I In the camp of the txxiue is the brunette with good, features, but forehead, ncd the soulful-eyed piii who looks unutterable things from her big- arid liquid orbs.

They are not a bit alike, these tiro, but they both look their best in the demure little bonnet. The toque is demure in. size only. There arc iridescent chiffons in gold and green, with big bunches of violets whereof are cunningly wrought mere wreaths to crown the head; and there are toques of gold frames purple roses, and others of shot ribbon, which are certain to grow more numerous. In the parallelogram of forces whereof the fluffy g-irl and the tailor-made girl tugged for the mastery, is the resultant chiffon girl.

Tailor-made had things all her own way last season. Miss Fluffy bided her time. She is gentle, but insistent, curved and rounded, but vertebrate. Silks and crepons and chiffons she accepts as victory partly won. AVho shall say whether compromise may not give way- to victory complete? FOR SUNDAY READING.

I suppose the correct name for the (Napoleon hat is Diroctoire, but nobody j-wCJ call'it that. It is two-cornered tand-brimless.

It flaps up in front to Take, for instance, a costume in silk and wool challis, peach pink, striped with white. Lot there be bands oi ccrue guipure, edged with ruffled pink chiffon down the skirt front, and points thereof about the hips, and bishop sleeves and pink satin waistband, a bonnet of some green gardeny looking adornment, and you shall have a garb which nine women out of ten would prefer to tho stiilest, most angular tailor-made that ever tailor-made. Impossible to get sleeves too big down to the elbow or too small below it. Not j'ct is the "pneumatic sleeve" of the funny writers, butwearo next door to it, with sleeves held out to their full bigness by wires and wired bows and fluffy chiffon sleeves. It is a question more serious than ever to avoid crushing one's sleeves, unless there is a carriage for every change of base.

Anything so crowded as a street car or elevated ear at crowded hours means agony of soul. What martyrs women are! Turn wo for consolation sweet to a beige crcpon, white spotted, cunningly concocted, with Nile water silk. The skirt is full hipped fcr these times, gathered into a band of guipure over the silk. The sleeves are big and bal- loony. Tho bodice has a draped front of Nile chiffon.

Tho epaulettes are of guipure, the collar of chiffon, edged with silk Valenciennes lace. The hat for this costume should bo white chip, with ostrich feathers, and a trimming of beige lace about tho crown. An axiom in the double rule of three: If Hiss Lciter's waist belt is to the hem of her gown as one is to fifteen, and the former is twonty-two inches, the latter must be nine yards. And such, indeed, is tho case with that wonderful trousseau of hers about which one hears so much. Skirts were seven yards last year.

They are now nine, and still growing.

A Practical Application o' Thinga Material to Thlujrn Spiritual. As I write thousands of man are busy in the orchards of California with saw and shears. They are cutting and slashing as if they wanted to destroy, or at least cripple, the industry whteh is the pride and hope of the Pacific coast. Is it an invading army from the prune-growing countries of Europe or from tha pcacli-produciug sections of the east and the west? Ivo, it is our home guard. It is our own industrial army.

They are toiling to secure the best fruit for the coming season, to maintain the reputation we have already secured for the earliest, the largest and the most luscious apricots, peaches, pears and prunes. Those pruners are sawing oft branches as thick as their own brawny arms, and they are not dead branches either, but covered with opening buds, and in some cases with thousands of blossoms. They are shearing oft tho ends of the branches that remain until the ground is covered with pearly petals that seemed but yester- 'day the harbingers of golden fruit. How cruel and how foolish it seems! Why thus mar and mutilate what God has made so beautiful? The orchardist will give you two reasons. First, the trees try to make too much wood, and this effort on their part must be checked, because we don't want fuel, but fruit.

And second, even when the trees remember that they are in an orchard and not in a forest, they become foolishly ambitious and start more buds than they can mature. But the unsophisticated spectator of this scene might ask another question which the orchardist would not be uble to answer. Why did the all-wise Creator of trees make thorn so? Why did He endow them with this seeming perversity of spirit? Why does Ho not constrain thorn to grow so that they will not need this annual pruning? Did they grow thus in the garden of Eden, or is this a result of the fall, an' evidence that nature sympathizes with man in the depravity introduced by sin, that "the whole creation groancth and travaileth in pain together" because Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit? There is a statement in the second chapter of Genesis which throws light upon this seeming mystery. When God created Adam He placed him in a garden, not merely to enjoy it; but "to dress and to keep it," The word translated means labor. It is so translated in the Fourth commandment.

The trees needed some kind of cultivation, and was not pruning a part of it? Delitzch says, commenting on this passage in Genesis: "Nature which grows wild or rank without the cares of man, becomes ennobled under the human hand." Pruning, as an Edcnic Occupation, teaches two important lessons. The first is that in securing what is best in the realm of nature we are to be coworkers with God. He always leaves something for us to do. He says: Here is a tree. It is full of sap.

It is made to grow. I put it with all its possibilities into your hands. Study it. Learn how to make it most profitable. Direct and control its energies.

If it is rushing with itssulendid vitality a wrong direction, stop it; cut it back; make it.sym- metrical; reduce its size arid increase its fruitfulness. Compel it to have the best fruit; repress its ambition for quantity rather than quality. When the harvest comes, I want you to thank me as the Giver of all good, for without me you could have done nothing. But I also want you to feel that you have done your part, that you have shown your gratitude, and faith by working upon and. around the trees while I worked in them.

But the second and the most important lesson is, that pruning is an essential condition of all true growth. The believer is represented in the'Bible as a tree. See Ps. i. 3 and Jer.

xrii. 8. He is not a wild tree in the forest, but planted by river. He is a tree of the He ia to bear fruit, "fruit unto holiness," Rom. VL 22, "fruit unto God," Rom.

vii. 4, "the fruit of righteousness," 2 Cor. is. 10, "the fruit of the spirit," Gal. T.

22. And in order to bear such precious fruit, and "much fruit" that God may be glorified, there must be self-denial, a crucifixion of the carnal affections and lusts. In this work God Himself, or the good husbandman, leads His co-workers. But God will not do all the pruning that is needed. He summons us to self-denial.

Christ told the young 1 ruler to give all that he had to the poor if he would have treasure in Heaven. It was as if He had said: Your whole growth and development: of character is wrong. Even your de- I sire for eternal life is selfish. Your keeping ot tiie law has oeen seiiisii. Cut all this back, even to thej'oot, and graft into it that love to God and inan which is the spirit nf ths and of the new life.

Our savium- did not say to Zaccheus what he said to the youn ruler. But he put it into his heart to ffive half of his goods to the poor. He did not need a pruning as radical as the other, because his willingness to do what he did showed that he would make a good use of the rest of his wealth. The pruners in our orchards study, each tree. They adapt their cutting to its character and condition.

So does the Lord in His vineyard. And so should wa as His co-laborers. The rule itself is simple, though its applications are manifold. Whatever is our easily-besetting sin we must sacrifice at all hazards. Whatever is most agreeable to our carual nature and most hinders the full consecration of ourselves to Christ we must surrender, be it as dear to us, and seemingly useful to us, as our right hand or our right eye.

True priming is not mutilating. It is repressing the loiver'nature to promote our growth in holiness, in Godlikeness, in bearing fruit unto eternal Old- school, Interior. MOUNTAINS ON FIRE. THE PRICELESS GIFT. Eioqoont Sermoa Preached by an Cnconth Ituncher in a Kailroail Coach.

If you had been one of the passengers on a delayed train in the wilds of the far northwest a few nights since you might have felt the good effects of the following short sermon: A coach containing twelve of fifteen cultured people from tho east was detained, for some reason, between stations. Among the passengers was an old rancher, uncouth and unstyled, who had probably gotten into the first-class sleeper by mistake. It was a sociable little company. The solitude of the surroundings licensed each passenger to feel that his companion was his friend. The conversation drifted from one thing to another, and then settled down upon the matter of "accomplishments," and finally it was agreed that each person should tell of their own excellence.

One young man said he was a successful young lawyer of IMJW York city, and was on Easy street A young-lady was in the higher ranks of the artists, and works of hers were known far and wide. Another young lady was a musician, and her touch was wonderful. Another young man was financier for a large mercantile busiuess in Chicago. Thus it ran back and fourth from man to woman, telling of their accomplishments and works. After awhile some one jokingly asked the rancher to tell of what his good qualities consisted.

The contrast was a success. He had Plctnrenquo Scene nt tho Vlllaen ot Crnn- Rac, In Franco. A communication from Aveyron, France, says: "The village sac is surrounded by burning mountains. The Montct, which, according to local chroniclers, has been on fire for more than a century.lias now the aspect of a veritable volcano. From its crater-like summit on intense volume of smoke rises during the day, while at night a multitude of vuxi-col- ored flames furnish the glorious spec-: tacle of a mountain on fire.

Actuated doubtless by the strong winds of the last few weeks, the fiery element, which had been consuming the entire Montet mountain proper, has spread to the range, and has assumed proportions which are very grave. During- very dark nights the blaze illuminates the horizon as that of a great conflagration. At times blue white flames shoot up to a considerable height, giving tho effect of lightning during a storm. A curions fact about the burning Slontet is that whenever a period of very cold temperature ensues, the mountain fire seams to grow in intensity. All efforts to extinguish the blaze, or even to retard its progress, have been in vain.

All that has been done to smother or quench the fire appeared to but tho fury of the devouring clement. Its progress is increasing, and the blaze never was as fierce as it is now." We add that this fire is the sequel to a conflagration that broke out in the coal mines of Fontaines and Montet many decades ago. Joanne mentions the burning mountain in his "Geographical Dictionary of France, 1S41," as having been on fire a TRAVELING LIFE MONOTONOUS. Wrong lilcn About Eiporlnncii of Salomon Always on tho Go. People who do not travel arc in the habit (if speaking of the lives of traveling men as full of pleasurable excitement.

The traveling men say that it is almost unbearably monotonous, says the Atlanta Constitution. 'I travel the entire south, from Washington to Texas," said man to me tho other day, "and am constantly on the rail, and the monotony of it is making me grow old before my time. I have a pretty large territory, but would you believe it if I told you that I can wako up at any hour of the night, no matter where I am, pull back the curtain tho sleeper, and tell what place tho train is approaching?

Not by Command, Bat by Patient Waiting, Ho SttiiKln Rnady to Help and lilom. There are always people who bring with them a character which, by their vnry presence, tells upon other lives with which they come in contact. A man comes to your study or office to talk with you about some business matters; he doesn't preach to you; he doesn't even say the word peace audibly, but it comes from him unconsciously. The spirit of his faith, deep within him, in some way breaks through the outward man, and flashes in upon you, as the sunshine from the cloud. For the moment that man is standing on threshold of your door, saving: "Peace be to your house!" and then he waits to see if you will receive it, or if it shall return to him, and he must go on with his message to another.

This is the way of Christ; He does not command; He simply' stands at the door, presents His message, and then waits patiently to see how His offer will be SOME POINTS ON PRAYER. IS THE BEST. AKINC.
