Ranting Notes CnllliiK the Wlckid to Kcpcntmica. rjr;HE crucible of II affliction may be made of clay but God made It to hold gold. Airing your doubts In tlio pulpit Is at tempting to feed uod's tlock ou fog. You ennnot ul wnys keep out the weed-seeds, , but you don't need to wntch them. Rest Is not religion, but religion gives rest. Men enslly choke on mere crumbs of comfort. Hooting out malice may bo repressing murder. The mother-vein of truth Is found In the Wblo. Nothing Is harder to forgive than for gctfulncss. Self-denial Is the spinal column of ..consistency. The new heart helps us to put off the old man. The apologist for good Is ready to condone evil. ' Self-conceit Is the main spring of a wagging tongue. It requires gospel grace to make gos pel methods succeed When the soul Is on Ore Its dross will quickly bo consumed. ' Whatever It Is one's duty to do 11 Is one's duty to remember. He who does the best he knows al ways has a duty In sight. The cultivation of the heart spares the cudgeling of the bruins. If wc are not humble toward God, wo are not forgiving toward our brother. Wo shall not stop lying In our pray ers till wo stop cheating In our serv ices. It Is the mind of Christ wllhln that arrays us in the panoply of God with out. There aro no depths In the ocean of human sin beyond the line of God's love. Tho mau who Is In the public eye Is not as great as ho who Is In the people's heart Somo who arc soul-blind refuse to bo healed becauso they cannot sec the Healer. Somo men aro never overtaken by temptation becauso they go out to meet It. Ho who forgets the ladder by which ho asceuded may yet need It for a descent. Somo churches read, "If any man will bo my dlsclplo let him take up his col lection." The man who takes Christ for his alphabet will not be heterodox lu his message. If wo havo honey In our lives, wo should not object to the bees that como to get It The meu who could Invent Christ could Just as well havo Invented tho universe. If eternal salvation Is an Individual matter surely daily provldcnco will bo tho same. One of tho dangers of modern educa tion Is tho sacrifice of symmetry to uniformity. The larger a man Is tho greater tho proballty that ho will step on little men's toes. The sea of earth's separation may ever bound, but can never bo In tho city of eternal re-union. The only wuy to conceal truth that ought to be spoken Is to Imprison It In an atmosphere of falsehood. A Ruio Without a Thorn. It Is said there are some people who complain thnt rosen have thorns, while 'many more aro grateful that thorns produce roses. In the gardens of Gunnersbury house, Acton (the resldenco of Mr. Leopold do Rothschild), there Is a rose, probably of tho Bourbon race, free 'growing and free blooming, though In n shaded spot, which Is absolutely thornless. Its nume Is Zepberln Droulin, and It Is of conti nental origin. Those who' complain that roses have thorns and wish for them without prickles will find lu this variety what they want London Gardeners' Maga zine. Alfred Ayrea Confounded. Alfred Ayres, who Is such a purist re garding the uso of Cugllsh languago that he Is sometimes regarded as a crank, wandered into tho ofllce of the Appleton8, tho publishers, tho other day, and Inquired for Col. Appleton. "Ho flew tho coop. I guess," said one of tho young men. "What?" "Ho flew the coop." "Oh! If you had said 'he had flown the coop,' young man, I might have understood you,'' and Ayres stalked away. Now York Tress. ii.d T.aln Awako to Hear.

GREAT ELABORATENESS IS NOW THE RULE. New Flannel Waists that Are Almost as Fanciful ai 811k llodices of Re cent Years Characteristic of Late Tailor Gowns. Nevr York correspondence: EW flannel waists nrc almost as fan ciful as tho silk ones of recent years. Tho latest notion lu white flannel Is tmttonod down the back, laid In box pleats, the front bcautirtilly embroidered In dell-, cato or Persian' colors. White waists In .flannel nnd cloth arc to bo a distinctive fea ture of the season. Many colored waists are seen with embroidered front), but these are not as dainty as are the white. Plaid flannel waists again are scon and are more beautiful than ever. Nearly all arc made plain or with a few tucks at the neek, button ing down the front-and finishing with the shirt waist sleeve. Corduroy and velvet een are used, too, many of the former showing tho yoke back and front. Some flannel waists arc tucked at the neck to almost the bust, the lower part being embroidered. Such of theso waists as aro worn with SAMPLES FROM THE new tailor gowns have full need of elab orateness, for most tailored gowns nre much embellished. This year's simplest model that has any stylishness Is repre sented by to-day's Initial. About Its skirt nnd Jacket was enough stitching to count, two years ago, as entire trimming, hut now there must bo some re-epforccment, and hero it came In white silk rovers em broidered lu delicate green. Havana brown homespun was tho material, but that signifies little, as such gowns are seen In all tho stylish solid color goods. For tho next degree of elaborateness, turn to the second figure of the next pic ture. Here was a gown of dull red (inc line, the skirt finished with circular rufllei, the bolero arranged in Inch tucks. Deep collar anil rcrers were white cloth embroidered In black and silver. Still greater elaborateness Is found In tho dress to the right of this In tho picture. Here mixed brown aud green cheviot was, in the skirt, cut in layers and fin ished with stitching. Stock, Jabot, belt nnd sleeve puffs were hunter's green vel vet, and supplied a color contrast thnt was extremely rich. Very often this CHARACTERISTIC touch of contrast comes la the waist, plaids being relied on for colors, but a deal of white being seen and counting as newly stylish, especially in cloths and flannels. While loose raglan coats are to be worn extensively during winter, many short tailor Jackets are shown, Aiuajorltjr of m iff them arc double breasted or in box effect and have lapels of dull black silk. Dark blue, brown nnd black seem to bo favor ite colors, the lighter cloths being used mainly for the loose affairs. The short Jackets arc made very short, and the sleeves show no gathers at the top. Many coats like that shown in to-day's second Illustration nrc seen, the general model promising to be one of the season's mark ed fashions. This example was oyster cloth, with stitching to match and with lining of green nnd pink dresden silk. Long clonks and loose cnPea secm t0 grow more elaborate each week. Many nre now seen trimmed wltlulnce nnd fur, the upper part sometimes laid In tiny tucks, lllack velvet beautifully applt qued with black taffctn nnd wide black silk braid Is made up In long clonks and capes. The newest raglans are three quarter length and hare double shoulder capes. They are strapped with panne velvet matching the cloth or n shade darker. Tucking and pleating are by no means exhausted as n means of dress ornament ation, but this season's nre wider than were those of a year ago. Much less of finely tucked or pleated cloth Is seen, though the stylishness of goods thus treated Is by no means gone. Thus the bodice at the right In the concluding pic ture was pleated all around, and the skirt was laid In tiny pleats at the waist. Cream lace finished sleeves and collar, tho belt and bows being green velvet. More assertive in Its newness were the deep tucks In the gown opposite tlds In the pic ture. Hero the material was delicate tan broadcloth, embroidery lu silver on whlto satin and black velvet for belt being oth er details. Much black velvet appears as dress trimming, much more than one would have thought possible nftcr duo consideration of how long such garniture has been stylish. Yet after examination of many model dresses the shopper feels almost justified In saying that no gown TAILORS' OUTPUT. is complete without its touch of black vt 1 vet. Perhaps It Is bccaiuo trimmings may be used in profusion thnt so few gowns combine two materials. Of course there are such dresses, 'but they are fewer than usual, though stylish enough. One of them is put in the center of this sketch. Its materials were striped black and white silk, the flounces white crepe do chluo edged with black chiffon frilling. Stock, belt and tabs were black velvet, and the bertha was crepe de chlno em broidered in gold. A few examples of combining silk and cloth are seen, hut there is more of mating velvet nnd silk and still more of velvet and cloth. Fancy neckwear grows more elaborate, nnd la to be the swagger thing with flannel and silk waists. The barb tie is to be worn either tied In a tiny bow un der the chin or fastened with stick pin nnd hanging in long ends. Real laco and many beautiful patterns In imitation laco will be seen. Chiffon, crepe-de-chlne, net, soft silks and liberty satin are all employed in these neck pieces. Many havo velvet combined with lace or net FALL DRESSES. and make up beautifully. Lace collars are not on the wane aud while made very plain are of handsome lace, Heavy gui pures and silk cluuys are used very much for them. Those with the cuff attached are very handsome and swagger. A few are of the tinted cluuy silk luce aud look very rich. dom of i ma General Information Concerning the Afro-American.
