Simply because these germs cannot gain a foothold in a strong throat and lungs. It’s when these are weak that the germs master. The body must be well supplied with fat.

The decollete bodice fits like a glove and is simply but effectively ornamented with a drapery of net falling from the decolletage in deep points to the waist edged with chenille and jet fringe and headed with an empiecement of jetted net, a strap of which passes over either shoulder. The narrow folded belt of satin is fastened in front with a large jet buckle. The satin sleeves are small, much wrinkled and finished with a frill edged with fringe.—Philadelphia Fashions Inartistic. Present day fashions, according to Miss Harriet Sacket, who has charge of the domestic art department of Pratt institute, are not artistic. There should be three resting points for drapery in a woman’s costume—the shoulders, the hips and the knee. The knee is less a real than an apparent support. The drapery is usually lifted a little at that point to give freedom of action to the limbs, thus giving the appearance of r"- c. In the Greek costume the support chiefly from the shoulders, there being a slight rest at the hips where the robe is confined by a loose girdle. The most beautiful curve in perfect female figures is from the back sloping down below the hips to the knees. Miss Sacket takes exception to the gowns of the latest cuts made perfectly plain in the back and fitting sheathlike over the hips. A little fullness in the back, allowing the gown to fall in pretty curves around to the front and falling to the knee, outlines but does not accentuate the curve of the body, and is truly ar tistic.—New York Times.

THE CUP OF VINEGAR. DR. TALMAGE DISCOURSES ON THE ACIDITIES OF LIFE. Le*Nons Drawn From the Bitter Experlencen of the Saviour's < mcilixion — Comfort and Peace For the Poor. Distressed and I nfortunate. [Copyright, 1599, by American Press Association.] Washington. March 26.—From the pathetic scene of Christ’s last hour of suffering Dr. Talmage in this sermon draws lessons of comfort for people in trouble; tert. John xix, 30. •‘When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar. ” The brigands of Jerusalem had done their work. It was almost sundown, and Jesus was dying. Persons in crucifixion often lingered on from day to day, crying, begging, cursing, but Christ had been exhausted by years of maltreatment. Pillowless, poorly fed. flogged—as bent over and tied to a low post his bare back was inflamed with the scourges intersticed with pieces of lead and bone —and now for whole hours the weight of his body hung on delicate tendons, and, according to custom, a violent stroke under the armpits had been given by the executioner. Dizzy, nauseated, feverish —a world of agony is compressed in the two words, “I thirst I" O skies of Jttdtea. let a drop of rain strike on his burning tongue! O world, with rolling rivers and sparkling lakesand spraying fountains, give Jesus something to drink! If there be any pity in earth or heaven or hell, let it now be demonstrated in behalf of his royal sufferer. The wealthy women of Jerusalem used to have a fund of money with which they provided wine for those people who died in crucifixion, a powerful opiate to deaden the pain, but Christ would not take it. He wanted to die sober, and so he refused the wine. But afterward they go to a cup of vinegar and soak a sponge in it and put it on a stick of hyssop and then press it against the hot lips of Christ. You say the wine was an anaesthetic and intended to relieve or deaden the pain But the vinegar was an insult. In some lives the saccharine seems to predominate. Life is sunshine on a bank of flowers. A thousand hands to clap approval. In December or in January, looking across their table, they see all their family present. Health rubicund. Skies flamboyant. Days resilient. But in a great many cases there are not so many sugars as acids. The annoyances and the vexations and the disappointments of life overpower the successes. There is a gravel in almost every shoe. An Arabian legend says that there was a worm in Solomon’s staff, gnawing its strength away, and there is a weak spot in every earthly support that a man leans on. King George of England forgot all the grandeurs of his throne because one day. in an interview. Beau Brummel called him by his first name and addressed him as a servant, crying. “George, ring the bell!" Miss Langdon, honored all the world over for her poetic genius, is so worried over the evil reports set afloat regarding her that she is found dead, with an empty bottle of prussic acid in her hand. Goldsmith said that his life was a wretched being and that all that want and contempt could bring to it had been brought and cries out. “What, then, is there formidable in a jail?" Correggio’s fine painting is hung up for a tavern sign. Hogarth cannot sell his best painting except through a raffle. Andre del Sarto makes the great fresco in the Church of the Annunciata at Florence and gets for pay a sack of corn, and there are annoyances and vexations in high places as well as in low places, showing that in a great many lives are the sours greater than the sweets. “When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar!" Christ's Sympathy. It is absurd to suppose that a man who has always been w’ell can sympathize with those who are sick, or that one who has always been honored can appreciate the sorrow cf those who are despised, or that one who has been born to a great fortune can understand the distress and the straits of those who are destitute. The fact that Christ himself took the vinegar makes him able to sympathize today and forever with all those whose cup is filled with the sharp acids of this life. He took the vinegar! In the first place, there was the sourness of betrayal The treachery of Judas hurt Christ s feelings more than all the friendship of his disciples did him good. You have had many friends, but there was one friend upon whom yon put especial stress. You feasted him. You loaned him money You befriended him in the dark passes of life, when he especially needed a friend Afterward he turned upon you. and he took advantage of your former intimacies. He wrote against you. He talked against you. He microscopized your faults He flung contempt at yon. when yon ought to have received nothing but gratitude At first, you could not sleep at nights Then yon went about with a sense of having been stung. That difficulty will never be healed, for. though mutual friends may arbitrate in the matter until you shall <iftake hands, the old cordiality will never come back. Now I commend to all such the sympathy of a betrayed Christ Why. they sold him for less than our S2O! They all forsook him and fled. They cut him to the quick He drank Uiat cup to the dregs. He took the vinegar There is also the sourness of pain There are some of you who have not seen a well day for many years. By keeping out of drafts and by carefully studying dietetics yen continue to this time, but, oh. the headaches, and the side aches, and the back aches, and the heartaches which have been your accomp»niment all the way through! You

have struggled, under a heavy mortgage of physical disabilities, and instead of the placidity that once characterized you it is now only’ with great effort that you keep away from irritability and sharp retort. Difficulties of respiration. of digestion, of locomotion, make up the great obstacle in your life, and you tug and sweat along the pathway and wonder when the exhaustion will end. My friends, the brightest crowns in heaven will not be given to those who in stirrups dashed to the cavalry charge, while the general applauded and the sound of clashing sabers rang through the land, but the brightest crowns in heaven. I believe, will bo given to those who trudged on amid chronic ailments which unnerved their strength, yet all the time maintaining •heir faith in God. It is comparatively easy to fight in a regiment of a thousand men. charging up the parapets to the sound of martial music, but it is not so easy to endure when no one but the nurse and the doctor are the witnesses of the Christian fortitude. Besides that, you never Lad any pains worse than Christ’s. The sharpness that stung through his brain, through his hands, through his feet, through his heart, were as great as yours certainly. He was as sick and as weary. Not a nerve cr muscle or ligament escaped. All the pangs of all the nations of all the ages compressed into one sour cup. He took the vinegar! The Poorness of Poverty. There is also the sourness of poverty. Your income does not meet your outgoings. and that always gives an honest man anxiety. There is no sign of destitution about you—pleasant appearance and a cheerful home for you—but God only knows what a time yon have had to manage your private finances. Just as the bills run up the wages seem to run down. You may say nothing, but life to you is a hard push, and when you sit down with your wife i and talk over the expenses you both rise up discouraged. You abridge here, and you abridge there, and you get things snug for smooth saliing, and, 10, suddenly there is a large doctor’s bill to pay, or you have lost your pocketbook. or some debtor has failed, and you are thrown abeam end. Well, brother, you are in glorious company. Christ owned not the house in which he stopped, or the colt on which he rode, or the boat in which be sailed. He lived in a borrowed house. He was buried in a borrowed grave. Exposed to all kinds of weather, yet he had only one suit cf clothes. He breakfasted in the morning, and no one could possibly tell where he could get anything to eat before night. He would have been pronounced a financial failure. He had to perform a miracle to get money to pay a tax bill. Not a dollar did he own. Privation of domesticity, privation of nutritious food, privation of a comfortable couch on which to sleep; privation of all worldly resources! The kings of the earth had chased chalices out of which to drink but Christ had nothing but a plain cup set before him. and it was very sharp, and it was very sour. He took the vinegar. There were years that passed along before your family circle was invaded by death, but the moment the charmed circle was broken everything seemed to dissolve. Hardly have you put the black apparel in the wardrobe before you have again to take it out. Great and rapid changes in your family record. You got the house and rejoiced in it, but the charm was gone as soon as the crape bung on the doorbell. The one upon whom you most depended was taken away from you. A cold marble slab lies on your heart today. Once, as the children romped through the house, you put your hand over your aching head and said. “Oh, if I could only have it still!” Ob, it is too still now. You lost your patience when the tops and the strings and the shells were left amid floor: but, oh. you would be willing to have the trinkets scattered all over the floor again if they w’ere scattered by the same hands. With what a ruthless plowshare be reavement rips up the heart! But Jesus knows all about that. You cannot tell him anything now in regard to bereavement He had only a few friends, and when he los. one it brought tears to his eyes Lazarus had often entertained him at his house. Now Lazarus is dead and buried, and Christ breaks down with emotion, the convulsion of grief shuddering through all the ages of bereavement. Christ knows what it is to go through the house missing a familiar inmate. Christ knows what it is to see an unoccupied place at the table. NV ere there not four of them —Mary and Martha and Christ and Lazarus? Four of them But where is Lazarus? Lonely and afflicted Christ, his great loving eyes filled with tears! Oh. yes. yes! He knows all about the loneliness and the heartbreak. He took the vinegar! None Can Escape Death. Then there is the sourness of the death hour. Whatever else we may escape. that acid sponge will be pressed to our lips. I sometimes have a curiosity to know how I will behave when 1 come to die. Whether I will be calm or excited, whether I will be filled with reminiscence or with anticipation, I cannot say. But come to the point 1 must and you must. An officer from the future world will knock at the dooi of our hearts and serve on us the writ of ejectment, and we will have to surren der And we will wake up after these autumnal and wintry and vernal and summery glories have vanished from our vision. We will wake up into e realm which has only one season, and that the season of everlasting love. But you say; “I don’t want to break out from my present associations It is so chilly and so damp to go down the stairs of that vault I don't want any thing drawn so tightly over my eyes. If there were only some way of break ing through the partition betweer worlds without tearing this body all tr shreds! I wonder if the surgeons and the doctors cannot compound a mixture by which this body and soul can all the

1 time bo kept together. Is there no escape from this separation?" None, absolutely none. A great many men tumble through the gates of the future, as it were, and we do not know where they ; have gone, and they only add gloom and mystery to the passage, but Jesus Christ so mightily stormed the gates of that future world" that they have never . since been closely shut. Christ knows what it is to leave this world, of the ' beauty cf which he was more appreciative than we ever could be. He knows the exquisiteness of the phosphorescence |of the sea; he trod it. He knows the I glories of the midnight heavens, for they were the spangled canopy of his 1 wilderness pillow. He knows about the | lilies; he twisted them into his sermon. I He knows about tlie fowls of the air; ! they whirred they way through his dis- * course. He knows about the sorrows of leaving this beautiful world. Not a | taper was kindled in the darkness. He . .lied physicianless. He died in cold 1 sweat and dizziness and hemorrhage I and agony, that have put him in sympathy with all the dying. He goes through Christendom and gathers up ; the stings out of all the death pillows, | and he puts them under his own neck and head. He gathers on his own tonguo the burning thirsts of many generations. The sponge is soaked in the sorrows of I all those who have died in their beds, as * well as soaked in the sorrows of all those who perished in icy or fiery martyrdom. While heaven was pitying, and earth was mocking, and hell was deriding, he took the vinegar! To all those to whom life has been an acerbity—a dose they could not swallow. a draft that set their teeth on edge and a-rasping—-I preach the omnipotent sympathy of Jesus Christ. The sister of Herschel the astronomer used to spend much of her time polishing the telescopes through which he brought the distant worlds nigh, and it is my ambition now this hour to clear the lens of your spiritual vision so that, looking through the dark night of your earthly troubles, you may behold the glorious constellation of a Saviour’s mercy and a Saviour’s love. Oh, my friends, do not try to carry all your ills alone! Do not put your poor shoulder under the Apennines when the Almighty Christ is ready to lift up all your burdens. When you have a trouble of any kind, you rush this way and that way. and you wonder what this man will say about it and what that man will say about it, and you try this prescription and that prescription and the other prescription Oh, why do ycu not go straight to tLe heart of Christ, knowing that for our own sinning and suffering race he took the vinegar ? Cry For Water Answered. There was a vessel that had been tossed on the seas for a great many weeks and been disabled, and the supply of water gave out, and the crew were dying of thirst. After many days they saw a sail against the sky. They signaled it. When the vessel came nearer, the people on the suffering ship cried to the captain of the other vessel “Send us some water! NVe are dying for lack of water!” And the captain on the vessel that was hailed responded “Dip your buckets where you are. You are in the mouth of the Amazon, and there are scores of miles of fresh water all around about you and hundreds of feet deep!” And then they dropped their buckets over the side of the vessel and brought up the clear, bright, fresh water and put out the fire of their thirst. Sol hail yon today, after a long and perilous voyage, thirsting as you are for pardon, and thirsting for comfort, and thirsting for eternal life, and I ask you what is the use of your going in that death struck state while all around you is the deep, clear, wide sparkling flood of God’s sympathetic mercy? Oh. dip your buckets and drink and live forever! “Whosoever will, let him come and take of the water of life freely. ” Yet there are people who refuse this divine sympathy, and they try to fight their own battles, and drink their own vinegar, and carry their own burdens, and their life, instead of being a triumphal march from victory to victory, will be a hobbling on from defeat to defeat until they make final surrender to retributive disaster. Oh. I wish I could today gather up in my arms all the woes of men and women, all their heartaches, all their disappointments, all their chagrins, and just take them right to the feet of a sympathizing Jesus! He took the vinegar. Nana Sahib, after he had lost his last battle in India, fell back into the jungles of Iheri—jungles so full of malaria that no mortal can live there. He carried with him also a ruby of great luster and of great value. He died in those jungles. His body was never found, and the ruby has never yet been recovered. And I fear that today there are some who will fall back from this subject into the sickening, killing jungles of their sin. carrying a gem of infinite value—a priceless soul to be lost forever Oh, that that ruby might flash in the eternal coronation 1 But. no. There are some. I fear, who turn away from this offered mercy and comfort and divine sympathy notwithstanding that Christ, for all who would accept his grace, trudged the long way. and suffered the lacerating thongs, and received in his face the expectorations of the filthy mob. and for the guilty, and the discouraged, and the discomforted of the race took the vinegar. May God Almighty break the infatuation and lead you out into the strong hope, and the good cheer, and the glorious sunshine of this triumphal gospel! Spring; Flower Sowing.

CLEVER BOY CHESS PLAYER. SUteen-yenr-old Youth. With n Handicap. Beat. When a boy of 16 years plays chess with a master of the game, even with a beavv handicap allowance, he doeswell. If that boy Plays against Champion Harry N. Pillsbury with even the queen handicap and wins his game, he is entitled to credit as a promising young nlaver This latter is just what a Chicago boy has done. Harry Hammers- | fahr, a lad of 16. who lives at 369 Divi- I sion street. Chicago, who has been play- 1 ing the game at home and elsewhere | since be was 10 vears old, played the | champion at the Chicago Chess and; Checker club rooms and won. Young Hammersfahr is no prodigy. He is jm-t a wholesome, hearty boy with ' a studious bent. He has a good teacher | in the science and trickery of the o-ame in bis father, who has been a devotee of the game for many years. The boy himself is more proud of the fact that he played with the champion than that he should have won. The game cannot be called a very brilliant one on either side, judging from the reports of those who saw it; but tho lad, in spite cf several early mistakes, saw the attempt of the master to foice a draw, avoided it neatly and compelled Mr. Pillsbury to resign. Pillsbury allowed the boy the queen, the most valuable piece in the chess game. The performance of the boy cannot be called mediocre in any respect, for Pillsbury won from several noted club members under the same handicap. These noted players made none of the mistakes which marred the boy’s early moves, but they were not able to rally as he did. He not only atoned for the errors, but escaped a pitfail set for him which would have resulted in a stale mate. The lad was nervous in the beginning, for he realized how formidable an opponent be was matched against . Sheer nervousness caused his mistakes, ; but as the work progressed he seemed to i gain courage and made a series of real ly brilliant moves when the game look- : ed a bit doubtful. But the master was ; able to stand him off and cut down his I forces so that at the end it was knight 1 against pawn in the boy's favor. The ; boy could not do what is called trading' off and have the champion defeated in , one more move, so the resignation fol- | lowed, of course. Pillsbury was much pleased with the | youngster's work and is of the opinion that, with care and study, he will became a formidable player opposed to anybody.—Philadelphia Inquirer. Artificial Purification ot Air. The Paris correspondent of The Med ical Press writes that at a recent meeting of the Academie de Medecine M Laborde read a paper on a chemical substance by which its simple contact with air vitiated by respiration regenerates it completely, restoring to it its first qualities. In other words, this substance removes absolutely the carbonic acid from the foul air, as well as the water vapor and irrespirable products, and renders to it in exchange the exact quantity of oxygen required. From the first series of experiments it was discovered that six or eight pounds of the substance would keep alive in a space hermetically sealed (a submarine boat or a diving bell, for instance) a healthy man during 24 hours. Besides, the product was capable of rendering good services to medicine, as with a few grams of it a dozen liters of oxygen could be obtained instantane-ously.—-Medical Record. A Remarkable Murder. Biddenden, a quiet country village in England, was recently the scene of a remarkable murder. The rector’s daughter. a middle aged spinster, had quarreled with several parishioners and wrote to six of them to meet her at church on a certain Sunday, as she wished to make up. It happened to rain, so that only one of the persons addressed, a Sunday school teacher, attended church. After the communion, of which both partook, the woman invited him into the vestry and asked the curate to be a witness to the reconciliation. She then drew a revolver and shot the teacher dead. She had several spare cartridges on her person, so that it is inferred that she had intended to shoot all the persons to whom she had written. She was perfectly calm after her act and has kept silent about it. Not Easy to Forgrive. The Bible has a good deal to say about forgiveness, but it nowhere states that it is easy to forgive. The man who thinks that it is easy to forgive either has nothing to forgive erdoes not know what forgiveness means Forgiveness is not, as some imagine, a mere negative abstaining from inflicting injury upon the offender. Bible forgiveness means also the positive exhibition of a loving and actively pitiful temper toward a wrongdoer. It has been well remarked by some one that we “must not think we are forgiving because our anger is getting tired. ’ Forgiving is more than simply forgetting. It is an active grace, difficult of acquirement, even with help from above. But if it is not easy it is blessed to forgive. — New York Observer. Six Foot Princesn.
