In a half hour twenty-live men and women were either stretched out apparently dead crwere leaning or dancing in the ODen space of the circle, wmle four or tire had broken from the circle and ran and passed out over the prairie; two or three had fallen quite a distance from the scene of the dancing. Theso exercises were kept up until night, when the poor, deluded creatures crept to their tents moro dead than alive. As I looked upen all this I could not but be impressed with the idea that it was an effort to Btrugglo up from tho dark superstition of the aces to clearer and more intimate knowledge of the man Christ Jesus, of whose character they had certain knowledge, crude, it is true, from the preaching they had heard through the missionaries, a knowledge "which was, perhaps, as well deJine4. as their savage and untutored minds were capable of receiving. It demonstrates tluj fact that in the heart of the great mass of the imnian race, eavaee or civilized, there is a strong faith in the supernatural and a longing desire to know more of and came into inoreistssateriiions with that invisible power within whom we "live, feove and nave our being." Piuo Kidge agency is located in the southwest Corner of South Dakota, and has been tinder the management of II. D.

A NATION OF GEXTIXJIEX.

A riace Where Universal Court;iy and Fo- ' liteness Prevail. Tetania Ear. Tho beautiful politeness and courtesy of tho Swedes is a thing that is very striking to visitors. They have a large assortment of bows, bobs, courtesies and hat-liftings, according to age and sex, but the lifting of tho hat to mere acquaintances reaches, I fancy, much lower down in the social scale than elsewhere in Europe. It looks odd to see the butcher-boy in a blouse elaborately taking off his hat to the baker's assistant. I suspect, on examina-4 tion, Swedish hats would be found to contain a little extra stiffening, in order to enable them to stand the wear and tear of these greetings in. the market-places. On one occasion, when going by steamboat to Upsala, 1 noticed a yery 5uaint example of this national trait, he steamboat, as it neared Upsala, passed through many shallow reaches of the Malar lako, where the denth of water is in sufficient to allow of the passengers being landod in the ordinary manner directly on rhc-lmniing-f tages. and so have to be taken on shore in small boats. The ferryman on ehiDDintr Il's complement of passengers would tirst take a dozen strokes or so in order to clear the screw of the steamer, and then would carefully lay aside his oars, rise tiom his seat and take oft his hat with a solemn bow to the people sitting in the stem whom he had iust taken oil the deck of the steamer. He would then row on again and put them ashore. This did not occur as an isolated instance, but regularly every time the passengers had to be landed by shore-boats. . I am afraid even our English railway guards and porters, Trhoml had hitherto imagined to he tho "beat-mannered people on the planet, would not bear comparison with these nature's gentlemen. Lord Chesterfield himself would scarcely be in the running. The women of tho middle and lower classes are little, if at all, behind their husbands and brothers in this matter. Their good temper and pretty behavior are worthy of all praise. The servant girls in Dalecarlian peasant dress, the cafe mamselles, and the young persons employed in shops, all make the prettiest of all possible little bob courtedes. and so, oddly enough, do the young ladies of good families ui to tho day of their confirmation, which ceremony takes place rather later' than with lis generally about the age of sixteen. From that day forth they put their hair up and take to bowing. The Upsala students amuse me a great deal by tne elaboration and ceremoniousnesa of their manners. Any day during the vacation a few of them . may be seen gathered round a table in the garden cafes of Hasselbacken or Tivoli, drinking their punch. They are mostly lads under twenty, but thev bow to each other and make little civil speeches, and pledge each other with solemn salutation, all according to the strictest Swedish etiquette, as if thev were middle-aged gentlemen of high dignity and position, but slightly acquainted with one another. They certainly take themselves very seriously. The custom of pledging or health-drinking is a survival from very ancient times. The glass is raised, a slight bow made, the word skal (literally bowl) pronounced, followed by another slight bow when the glass is replaced on the table, generally empty: it is not de rigrreur, however, that It should be so, but in Denmark, where a similar custom obtains, the glass must always be drained to the last drop. To English eyes it appears quaint to see this complicated ceremonial observed toward each other by college companions not yet out of their teens. That this universal courtesy and politeness is not merely on the surface is proved by the trouble to which Swedes will invariably put themselves in order to be of use to a stranger in nesd of help or information. So much is this the caso that at last I tried to avoid asking my way m the country roand about Stockholm, because it so often happened that the countryman whom I interrogated would lay aside his occupation and, accompany me come little distance in order to make sure of setting moon the right path. For this service he would seldom accept any recompense. Another point which soon attracts the attention of visitors is the punctilious honesty and truthfulness of the Swedes; this is best seen in the many little incidents of daily life. When asking for places at a theater, for instance, the ticket clerk never fails to inform you if, owing to the crowded state of the house, a better position would be secured with a cheaper ticket than the one asked for. Again, when parcels are taken out by steamers from Stockholm to country places in the neighborhood, thev are just tnrown out on the quay, where hey frequently remain half the day withoutxbeing claimed. It never seems to occur to anyone that they could possibly be taken by anyeno but their rightful owners. On a trip of any length, as for instance, to Gothenburg by canal, a little book lies in tho saloon of the steamer in which each passenger keeps his own account of the number of meals, cafes, cognacs, etc., he may take during the journey. Jlut, indeed, it is impossible to talk to a Swede for any length of time and not see row incapable of any meanness or dishonesty he must be. There is nearly always a simplicity and straightforwardness of manner, the very antipodes of affectation, which is certainly a very pleasing attribute, and which can scarcely fail to conTinco the least observant pexson that he lias before him a man who thoroughly respects himself, and who walks very steadfastly on the straight line. The Swedes, youieel, are a Ration of gentlemen down to tho coal heavers and the wharfmen. yf , Old Ladles. SIlss MantilinL ta Tail Mall Budget.

CHANGES FOE COLDER DAYS

Shirley Dare Tells How Women of Sense Are Arranging Their Wardrobes. Neat, Comfortable Things in For and Holes Common-Sense Devices for the Salvation of Walkers Upon City Pavements. Wnttsn for the Sonday Journal. A welcome coolness in the wind promises frost the blessed frost whose tonch exorcises from the air foulness and disease, which destroys odors of swamp and street, and sends a thrill of life into weakened frames. Two things the world wonld be very ill oil' without the east wind and frost the two angels of health which counteract malaria and plague. They bring out the fur capes early and sensibly, for when is cold more felt than when it first comesf Tho stylish, reserved wearers like the coats in softest thick wool, light as eider ilannel, with dull, tine finish. Simply fitted in the back, the narrow, single fronts look slender without darts, and a thick cloth looks bunglingly fitted to the ( bust anyhow at best. A princess or a woman of exclusive taste would choose one of these fine coats, with longrevers.bm'ded with tho cord that is not much more than course sewing silk on re vers,"' collar and narrow cutf, leaving the braided sleeve to popularity, which will immediately vulgarize it. To this coat the fair wearer will add the boa of thickly curled ostrich or sheared feathers, or the glossy cock' plumage, which is rather the choice for its etiect in throwing up the whiteness of the complexion above it. Alas! thae pretty feather boas are forbidden to round faces and short throats, which remind one of a Christmas pudding round and nnctuous in its wreath of holly while long faces with cheeks that have lost their fullness wear these feathery coils with a kindly grace. There is sense in these fashions repeat it for the light, warm protection for throat and front will save many a weak chest from feeling the keon air which would leave one delicate for the winter. The felt hat for town mornings is the boat-shape, with brim nptnrned in the back and front jnst the width to relieve features fallen oil' in plumpness without making them look spare in contrast to their span of roof. Ash-gray felt with rich loops of black velvet, cocks' plumes and scale embroidery in iet are the choice for street costumes. Park hats, with low crown and broad brim, come in natural gray, rough felt and fur plush, with long plumes in. Charles 11 style. Fine French felts have the brims bnttonhole stitched with fine arrasene and chenille embroidery on the broad fronts, or embroidery and cutwork veined with chenille. GOWNS TO BE WORN". Gowns run to cut wort and applique, tho finest serges in terra reds, bishop's pur)lo and Carmelite grays having borders of velvet appliquo, or velvet bands with How ers and rococo borders cut from the cloth and applied with fine cord edging. These and the superb plaids in silky camel's hair and deep, soft Starris and Shetland wools, are the moat striking fabrics of the fortnight. The Macduff tartan, in its deep crimson with dark green bar, is the most sumptuous coloring of the Scotch plaids. The fancy patterns which combine deep, rich mistpurples with gray and russet bars, or green and gold, are so delightful in the show-windows one regrets to think of them mismade, tumbled and worn by the wrong woman. They are to be worn as drapery solely, in shoulder-plaids, which am their real purpose, and in plain skirts with , broad side pleats,- draped fronts and fullness gathered closely in the back. Mrs. T. V. desires to know whether high sleeves are in correct taste, as she has seen them criticised for making persons look round backed. A moderate high shoulder and sleeve are anatomically correct, as they give natural play to the muscles of the shoulder, while a broad shoulder cut brings the seam directly-across the curve of the muscles. The high-topped sleeve is grotesque, and looks as if it wcro striving to give tho cars a llap, and when tho fullness is carried back at all it gives a pitiful etiect of bow shoulders. A good form has tho shoulder blades llat as the wall, and a back Hat for its length, save an inward hollow at the waist, is ono of tho cardinal points of beauty. The warm autumn brings tut tho fashions for dress so slowly that one is thankful for more time to make the house .ready for changes of weather, and provide tho comforts with dee forethought, iirst of all delicate people must be well shod for changing seasons. Before the need of warmer clothing is felt, tho damn chill striking through the feet is felt through limbs and body, stillening the cords and the gait, fostering a general ache of the muscles which tends to anything but usefulness of feeling. AYnat is to be donef To wear rubbers constantly is only another form of the evil, for the feet cased in their own warm moisture get dangerously chilled on taking rubbers oil'. The safe thing is to have a rubber-soled shoe, which leaves the upper part of the foot dry and free to tho air. I never expect to see again the eminently sensible walking shoe which appeared in Boston shops six years since, which had a rubber sole inlaid on the ' tread, which was the most elastic, comfortable shoe for country walks, gardening and snowy days one could ask. There were no rheumatics from digging in flower borders or pacing damp October" walks with those boots, 1 promise you. The tronblo was they were too cood, for that one pair isn't worn out to this day, and so they were taken out of sale for the benciit of poorer stock. But ono can have a solo cut out of thin, pure rubber and cemented to a thin boot for 50 or 75 cents a pair and 6avet endless internal troubles from cold feet. Do'you know how much easier living is with feet duly shod with elastic solesf The easn of getting about on them took a third one's weight ofiT Who can estimate the relief to back, sinews and leg muscles?. IMPORTANCE OF SOUND SHOEING. All drivers know that city streets and pavements wear,out the feet and strength of horses far sooner than the country roads. Are pavements and floors any kinder to women! I don't believe any one who reads ever thought about it, but the constant stepping about non-elastic floors and sidewalks must wear greatly on the limited strength of women. Earth gives, the mountain sod is elastic, the woodland, tho grassy turf yield and save the foot which treads them, r Tiles, marble, stone, cement, oil-cloth do not give way, and all the impact of the tread returns upon the muscles and nerves in a cruel way. This constant jarring, unnoticed at first, works Htrange mischief in women's organisms, and the cause is seldom suspected. Wood floors and solo-leather heels are elastic beside stono pavements and metal heels, but not sufficiently so. One feels the difference very soon in climbing iron or stono stairways, which take the life out of the step strangely, and 1 pray never will become common, for the sake of humanity, which wastes itself upon them. But to know the luxury of footing and how much relief is possible to the strain of life never dreamed of one should put on the new shoes with eJnstio seam. It is just a little thing, an eighth of an inch or lees of pure rubber let m at the ball of the foot, between sole and upper, invisible, detracting nothing from tho lit of as shapely shoes as are sold, but making all tho ditferenceof ease and springy step, and taking tin strain off so many paiufulmuscles. Housekeepers, clerks, car-drivers and lloor-walkers know what it is to feel that every step drives the heel into a socket of sort flesh about the ankle, and that again sends the bone of the upper log against the hip socket with a jar that tells painfully on tho soro and quivering tiesh of the front and back muscles of tho trunk. I am not writing anatomically 60 much as telling how walking feels on unelastic lloors and - pavements, though of inlaid woods, marble, or Minton tiles. A great deal of suffering goes on in our costly thoroughfares iu xuuto eudnrance. Mute, because no one can pity who has not felt the pain. I know it, have, known it year after j'ear, and can appreciate the relief, the Having of muscle which theso rubber additions to th solo afford. With them a now shoe feels easy as a shoe a year old, and as the shoes at $3.50 a pair are as finely finished, m trim shape and lino kid as com

monly sell for $5 and 87 a nair, you will seo

that I am telling yon of a really good thing. lhis is not the last improvement in lootcear I havo to tell of. Have you ever no ticed the accidents which happen on the marble and inlaid floors of shops as well as on slippery icel There is not a day that people do not measure their length on the smooth marble, or slip and bring up with a strain mat wrencnes every ligament oi their bodies. Add to this the dreadful slipping of heels worn smooth on the edge of steps or thresholds with shock and wrench, and you have quite a list of risks to run before the ice sets in with its dangers to life and limb. There is a ladies' coffee-room 1 know whoso marble floor is a nervous horror to customers with its slippery surface, and I have had so many shocks of the sort, with lasting injury, that seeing the sign of Kubber fcafety Heels 7 in a basement shopwindow, I dived for them at once. Tho invention is a block of pure, flexible rubber let into the heel so as to save the wear of leather, slipping and jar of spine. Though a dollar for a pair of heels seems rather an addition to tho cost of shoes, persons obliged to be close economists find nothing so well worth the money, hardly more for the safety than the spinal relief in walking. l)r.'Bowditch. of Boston, as widely and well known as any physician in this country, is quoted as saying half the spine disease he meets is caused or aggravated by high, hard heels, and has given the rubber heel his emphatic commendation. With all possible respect to the Doctor, however, those who try the rubber attachment to shoes need.no other commendation than their own ranch-relieved spines. r rom feet to head is but a step in shop ping: and the last continental styles received since this letter was opened show figures in one illustration which have the chenille-embroidered felts untrimmed, and two really graceful trimmed ones beside the sailor, to which wearers cling in felt. Ihe lone cloak, lieu red in rich larapas with velvet 6tripes and ostrich bordering for theater, is ah excellent model for cold weather, in thick camel's hair or the silky, winter cheviot in chevron weaving, that is, with reversed stripes. The border is not indispensable, still for the cape it ma' be a narrow edge of astrakhan or fur, with foot border of deep astrakhan or Hairy beaver. The little ostrich collar is very pretty, and bright girls will quickly see use for their spare bits of ostrich feathers sewn on a satin foundation, ihe huge trimmed felt bonnet shows the long velvet strings to be worn. Observe, too, the neat dressing ot the throats in these bonneted heads the straight or nearly straight vel vet collars, surmounted by a finishof white; either a fold of silk on the narrow linen collar with points or , in clerical round shapo. and the brooch worn effect ively on the bodice. Ihe closo bodice of the bonneted figure shows the best style of shoulder for the winter sleeves, the princess style, as that lady of sovereign good taste, the Princess of Wales, prefers them.

THE PRAYER OF FAITIL The Children Asked Their Father In Heaven for Cake and Got IU October Wlde-Awake. " ' T " ' ' Dr. Keller, a well-known Boston physi cian, was at one time connected as trustee with an institution wherein friendless children were cared for. As she was passing along one of the corri dors one day she heard them chattering over some matter which evidently interest ed them deeply. JS othing is more charming than the unsophisticated talk of little chil dren, and Dr. Keller paused beside the door. where she could not be seen, and listened a sympathetic eavesdropper. They were talking, it seems, about good things to eat; their food, while abundant. was ordinarily plain after the fashion a mistaken ono, we think, for why should there not be a Bome-like variety? of insti tutions of this kind. These little ones. some of them at least, had tasted of cake a few times in their brief poverty-stricken lives, and they were all saying how they wished thev could have it often. One little boy we will call him Johnnie at last made a proposition. "We'll ask God to send us some cake' he said. Per haps he had heard the story of the manna in the wilderness and of Elijah's Tavens; at any rate he proposed that they should all kneel and repeat the Lord's prayer, substituting 'cake" for "daily bread.' With that unquestioning faith which seems the peculiar heritage of childhood, they all assented and knelt. "Now, be sure," say a Johnnie, "to say cftkel77 The listener bowed her head reverently while the childish voices repeated the sacred words that fell first from those holy lrps nearly two thousand years ago. 'Our Father who art in heaven,' nraved these fatherless and motherless little ones, and so on until they reached the petition, "Give us this day our daily bread;" there was au instant's pause, and thpn. "Give us this day our daily CAKE." went up with an emphasis on the word "cake77 to whicn capnais aiono can give exTvrASftinii in nrint.

circumstances "for wfct w&&t:n$that

way bnt as an humble instrument in His hands," the bearer of his answer? That very night at supper the eyes of the little creatures were gladdened by the sight of cakes in many pretty shapes spread bountifully before them. "Didn't I tell you God would send us cake if we asked him?" said Johnnie, looking triumphantly around. On the Eve of Sleep. What is softer than two snowflakes meeting In a windless fall of enow! What is lighter than a down-ball sinking On a still stream's polished flow! Smoother than the liquid circle spreading From the swallow's touch-and-go! Oh, softer, lighter, smoother, Is the first approach of Sleep! (Yet guard us in that moment, lest thy boon wa may not keep!) What is stiller than two blossoms kissing Charily with petal tips! Sweeter than the dewdrop that their kissing Doth unsphere and down it slips! What is dimmer than the night-moth groping For the lily's nectared lips I Oh, etiller, sweeter, dimmer, is the first approach of sleep! (Yet guard us in that moment lest thy boon we may not keep!)

What is subtler than the clews that tighten Kouna the dancing midge's wings? Shyer than the bird its nest concealing As aloof it hits and sings! Closer than the poppy-leaf-llned chamber Oh, subtler, shyer, closer is tho first approach of sleep! (Yet guard us to that moment ere we reach thy safest deep:) , What is stranger than the moonlight mingling witn tne red nre or tne westi Wilder than an Amazonian forest Where no foot the mold hath pressed! Dearer than the heart's most secret brooding un tne race it lovetn best! Oh, stranger, wilder, dearer is the first approach oi6ieep: (Oh, guard us in that moment lest we waver back ana weep!) Edith M. Tbomu, In the Atlantic. Where She Comes. With heavy ciders overhung. Half bid in clover masses, , ' An old fence rambles on among Ihe tangled meadow grasses. It makes a shade for lady fern Which nestles close beside it, While clematis, at every turn, And roses almost hide it. In shade of overhanging sprays And down a sonny hollow, . By hazei copse and woodland ways The winding fence I follow; By rose, and thorn, and fragrant dew. In search of something sweeter The orchard gap, where ebe comes through, And I go down to meet her. The sunlight slants across tho fence Where lichens gray it over. And etira a hundred dreamy scents From fern, and mint, and clover, But though thetiir is sweet to-day . " I know of something sweeter; That she can only come this way And I am sure to meet her. And so, while chipmunks run a match . To tell the wrens who's coming, And all across the brier patch There sounds a drowsy humming The hum of honey-seeking bees I seek for something sweeter, A gap, amongst tho apple trees, Where I am going to meet her. Charles B. Going, in September Bcrlbner. Pennyroyal. Amid the web-wrapped meadow-land there passes A child ior some iat butterfly aciiase. And as she treadcth down the seared grasses A shy wild odor rises in their riace. 'The magic ot this odor swift enfolding - A passer-by whose reet have chanced to stay, Until, the meadow-lands no more beholding. Back through the vanished years he takes his Tvay. . And stands once more in sweet, forgotten places. And hears the voices, silent long ago; While in tho low-roofed house he sees" dear faces, As in thoe other days, lilt to and Iro. He hears agiin the rush of chlldren'slaughters. Tnrougnout tuo cobwcDbea garret surge ana ring; Ho sees ii gain from down far-reaching rafters Bunches of pennyroyal sway and swing. A moment only, And the sweet dream passes. The child and the butterfly flit to aud fro. The shy wild odors from down-trodden grasses , Throughout the autumn morning comeundgo. No more swings pennyroyal from low rafters. Holding sweet peppermints, ana sage, and 1 thyme. Yet do the garrets with their herbs and laughters Linger and haunt us like some sweet old rhyme. Lucy E. Tilley, in Harper's Weekly. Bid Me Good-llye. Bid me good-bye! No sweeter salutation Can friendship claim; ; Nor yet can any language, any nation, . A sweeter irame. It is not final; it forebodes no sorrow, As some declare. Who, born to xrcUings. aro so prone to borrow To-morrow's share. Good-bye is but a prayer, a benediction From lips sincere; And breathed by thine it brings a sweet convic tion That God will hear. Good-bye! yes, "God bowithyou;" prayer and-j Alike our need and Uis dear care confessing in au our ways. Biowever rare, or frequent be our meeting. However nigh The lastong parting, the endless greeting, tiiu me goou-Dye: Now and Then. And had you loved me then, my dear, And had you loved me there, . p When still the sun was in tho east v And hope was in the air. When ad the birds sang to the dawn And I but sang to you Oh, had you loved me then, my dear, And had you then been true! But, ah, the day wore on, my dear, . And when the noon grew hot The drowsy birds forgot to sing. And you and I forgot To talk of love, or live for faith, Or build ourselves a nest; But now our hearts are shelterless Our sun is in the west. . Louise Chandler Moul ton. Face to Face. We say we know each other. On our hearts We bind the memory of a glance, a smile. A wondrous kindling of the soul in speech; And something of that presence, which a while Had brought our spirits near enough to reach Vainly irom out tneir mortal prison nouse. In.vain we look into each other's eyes, Hopeless are words, and hopeless are our sighs. Our hands may clasp in friendship or in love . Or we may yield to passion's fierce embrace, . Yet bow we not that spirit from above. And shall not know It till we're race to face. Then may we know, and knowing, feel no shame That In our knowledge nothing needs a name. Marvin Brewster. . Too Industrious. From his pigeon-stool under the Dome, Johnny Congressman kept running home To look after his fences and clover. Till his fenoe grew so high that he found. When the caucus time next came around, His constituents couldn't see over. Puck. I W tA. Til.. TIV.ulll British-American Citizen. One the greatest evils of the day is a lack of moral courage. Men have not sufficient stamina to stand np to their best conviotions. This is true more glaringly of public teachers than of any other class. The degrading craze among the clergy of the present day to be considered "broadminded," "liberal," etc., is working ruin in their congregations. The present generation appears to be of the jelly-fish mold. If a man is a rascal, nine public speakers out of ten will gloss over his rascality, and the tenth man will be called a bigot for his honesty. We would like to see an inde pendent church started in Boston, to be called by any name "Tho Church of the Holy Backbone," if you wish; but let it have for its creed simply the word "Truth," and make up its officials from those men who are denominated "cranks" for their rigid adherence to principle. Progress in m X.lletlme. Boston Transcript. A little exhibit at Pawtucket that should attract attention is made bv a very old lady. Mrs. Mary W. Perry, who contributes the shuttles used by her in a hand-loom in 1815, at which time her price for weaving per yard, three-cuarters wide, was: "White, 0 cents per yard; checked, 11 cents per yard. Wovo one hundred yards per month: Sold in &ekonk. Pawtucket and Providence markets.", Mrs. Perry is only six years younger than the cotton industry, having been born in 1796. She has outlived the industrial methods of her youtb, and has seen- the hand looms, common enough seventy-five years ago, driven out of existence by the elaborate machines whose operations keep the air of the exhi bitiouhall inotrembb.
