Fair week proved a Stoater attraction than ever, the programme Of amusement being so full and complete that the most exacting were more than gratified. The fair was voted on improvement on past yean, owing to the number of novelties introduced and the striking array of exhibits from all parts of the Union. In the old days, which only ended some three yean ago, crowds on their way to the fair were annoyed by the insufficiency of the street car accommodation, but although the crowd this year was the largest on record, there was no difficulty on this score. Two electrio roads and one cable line have been built, making a total of seven roads to the Fair Grounds, able to carry from U000 to 19,000 passengers an hour easily, but whose cars were crowded to their utmost capacity during the mornings and evenings. In addition to this, the streets are In such One order that driving out In hacks and buggies was a luxury. Of the Voiied Prophet It is unnecessary to say much. The uniqueness of the pageant, the enormous crowds along the route of the parade, and the presence infull dress of 7.000 invited guests at tho ball, all show thst fourteen annual visits have endeared the mystio monarch not only to the people of St. Louis, but also of the West, and Indeed the Bast, and that far from the Interest fading us the novelly ceased Coexist, familiarity breeds la this Instance admiration that cannot bo overestimated. During tbo remainder of the festival season there ts much to Interest the spectator, and many defer their visits until after Fair week in order to avoid tho crush such an enormous gathering of people naturally creates. St. Louts is handling the crowds this year in a more systematic manner than ever, and, thanks to well-managed bureaus and registers, a)l are being provided for comfortably and at reasonable rates. St. Louis does not bleod its guests or advance prices on the ground that the law of supply and demand warrants such a course; it rather treats Its visitors like honored guests nn 1 provides os much absolutely tree entertainment as possible. Col. Gilmore will wind up bis 1891 engagement on October 17, and In tho meantime he is providing four genuine musical treats dally. Ho has a habit of reserving the very best to the last, and some of the coicludiug concerts will be masterpieces indeed. As a natural result of the wonderful attractions St. Louis possesses in a social manner to the people of surrounding states, the commercial interests of the city are being aug mettled in a remarkable manner, for the visitors who come year after year oa pleasure bent have at tho same time an opportunity of witnessing the vast commercial and manufacturing establishments in which St. Louts excels all other cities In the world in many lines, and thus business relations are formed which redound to the profit both of the visitor and thn nitv.

THE CHRISTIAN BATTLE. Sermon by Rev. T. DeWttt Talmage In Brooklyn Tabernacle. Elhinlnej Taking the Place or Fighting Zeal In the Banka of the Christian Hosts-More Cologne than Battle Sears. The following discourse was delivered by Hev. T. DeWitt Talmage in the Brooklyn tabernacle from the text; And his hand clave onto the sword.—II. Samuel, xxili. A great general of King David was Eleazar, the hero of the text. The Philistines opened battle against him* and bis troops retreated. The cowards fled. Kleazar and three of his comrades went into the battle and swept the field, for four men with God on their side are stronger than a whole battalion with God against them. “Fall baek!” shouted the commander of the Philistine army. The cry ran along the host: “Fall back!” Eleazar, having swept the field, throws himself on the ground to rest, but the -muscles and sinews of his hand had been so long bent around the hilt of the sword that the hilt was imbedded in the flesh, and the gold wire of the hilt had broken through the skin of the palm of the hand, and he could not drop the sword which he had so gallantly wielded. “His hand clave unto the sword.” That is wliat I call magnificent fighting for the Lord God of Israel. And we* want more of it. 1 propose to show yon this morning how Eleazar took hold of the sword, and how the sword took hold of Eleazar. I look at Eleazar, and come to the conclusion that he took the sword with a very tight grip. The cowards \vho fled had no trouble 'in dropping tbeir swords. As they fly over the rocks I hear their swords clanging in every direction.' It is ^easy enough for them to drop their swords. But Eleazer’s hand clave unto the sword. Oh, ray friends, in this Christian conflict we want a tighter grip of the Gospel weapons, a tighter grasp of the two-edged sword of the truth. It makes me sail to see these Christian people who hold only a part of the truth, and let the rest of the truth go, so that the Philistines, seeing the loosened grasp, wrench the whole sword away from them. The only safe thing for us to do is to put our thumb on the Book of Genesis and sweep our

i!aim arounu ine oook unto ids new Testament comes into the palm, and on sweeping' oar hand around the book until the tips of our lingers clutch at the words: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” I like an infidel a great deal better than I do one of these namby-pamby Christians who hold a part of the truth, and let tli^^M^ go. By miracle God preserved InisBible just as it is, and it is a Damascus blade. The severest test to which a sword can , be put in the sword factory is to wind the blade around a gun bju-rcl like a ribbon, and when the sworWs let loose it flies back to its own shape. So the sword of-God’s truth has been fully tested, and it is bent this way and that way, but it always comes back to its own shape. Think of it! A book written eighteen centuries ago, and some of it thousands of years ago, and yet in our time the average sale of this book is more than twenty thousands copies every week, and more than a million copies a year. I say : now that a book whidr is evidently inspired and divinely kept and divinely scattered is a weapon worth holding a tight grip of. Bishop Colenso will come along and try to wrench out of your hand the five books of Moses, and Strauss will come along and try to wrench out of your hand the miracles, and Renan will come along and try to wrench out of your hand the entire life of the Lord Jesus Christ, and your associates in the store, or the shop, or the factory, or the bankinghouse will try to wrench out of your hand the entire Bible; but in the "strength of the Lord God of Israel, and with Eleazar’s grip, hold on it. You give up the Bible, you give up any part of it, and yon give up pardon and peace, and life and Heaven. 1 see hundreds, perhaps thousands, of young.men in this audience. Do not be ashamed, young man, to have the world know that you are a friend of the Bible. This book is the friend of all that is good, and it is the sworn enemy of all that is bad. An eloquent writer recently gives an incident of a very bad man who stood in the cell of a western prison. This criminal had gone through all styles of crime, and he was there waiting for the gallows. The convict standing there at the window, the writer says, “looked out and declared: ‘I am an infidel.’ He said that to all the men and women and children who happened to bo gathered there: ‘I am an infidel,’ ” and the eloquent writer says: “Every man and woman there believed him.” And the writer goes on to say: “If he had stood there saying, ‘I am a Christian,’ every man and woman would have said: “He’s a liar!” This Bible is the sworn enemy of all this wrong, and it is the friend of all that is good. Oh, hold on to it. Do not take part of it. There are so many people now who do not know. You ask them if the soul is immortal, and they say: “I guess it is; I don’t know; perhaps it is,

pernaps n isn i. is me isnue truei “Well, perhaps it is, and perhaps it isn’t; perhaps' it may he figuratively, and perhaps it may be partly, and perhaps it may not be at all.” They despise what they call the Apostollic creed; but if their own creed were written out it would read like this: “I believe in nothing, the Maker of Heaven and earth, and in nothing which it hath sent, which nothing was born of nothing, and which nothing was dead and buried and descended into nothing, and arose from nothing, *nd ascended to nothing, and now sitteth at the right hand of nothing, from which it will come to judge nothing. I believe in the holy agnostic church.and in the communion of nothingarians, and in the forgiveness of nothing, and. the resurrection of nothing, and in the life that never shall be. Amen!” That is the creed of tens of thousands of people in this day. If you have a mind to adopt such" a theory I will not “I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of Heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, and in the holy catholic church, and in the communion of saints, and in the everlasting. Amen,”5 Oh, when I see Eleanor taking such a stout grip of the,sword in the battle against sin and for righteousness, I come to the conclusion that we ought to take a stouter grip of God’s eternal truth, the sword of righteousness. As I look at Eleanor's hand I also notice his spirit of self-forgetfulness. He did not notice that the hilt of his sword was eating' through the palm of bis hand. He did not know it hurtbim. A s lie went out into the conflict he was so anxious for the -victory he forgot himself, and that hilt might go never so deeply into the palm of his band it could not disturb him. “Hishand clave unto the sword.” 0, my brothers anu sisters, let us go Into Christian conflict with the spirt of self-abnegation. Who cares whether the world praises ns or ns? What do we care for or

forget ourselves. That whether you, get hurt or not If yon get the victory? Oh, how many Christians there are who are all the time worry* Ing about (be way the world treats them. They are so tired, and they are so abused, and they are so tempted, when Gleaser did not think whether he had a hand, or an arm, or a foot. All be wanted was victory. We see how men forget themselves in world achievement. We have often seen men who in order to achieve worldly success will forget all physical fatigue and all annoyance and all obstacle. Jnsl after the battle of Yorktown in the American revolution, a musician, wounded, was told he must have his limbs amputated, and they were about to fasten him to the surgeon’s table—for it was long before the merciful discovery of anesthetics. He said: “No, don’t fasten me to that table; get me a violin.” A violin was brought to him, and he said: “Now go all persecute work as I begin to play.” and for forty minutes, during the awful pangs of amputation, lie moved not a muscle nor dropped a note, while he played some sweet tune. Oh, is it not strange that with the music of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and with this grand march of the church militant on the way to become the church triumphant, we can not forget ourselves and forget pang and all sorrow and all tion and all perturbation. We know what men accompl ish under worldly, opposition. Men do not shrink back for antagonism, or for hardship. You have admired Prescott’s “Conquest of Mexico,” as brilliant and lieautiful a history as was ever written, but some of you may not know under what disadvantages it was written—that Conquest of Mexico—for Prescott was totally blind, and he had two pieces of wood fastened parallel to each other, and with his pen between those pieces of wood he wrote, the stroke against one piece of wood telling how far the pen must go in one way, the stroke against the other piece of wood telling how far the pen must go in the othe r way. Oh, now much men will endure for worldly knowledge and for worldly success, and yet how tittle we endure for Jesus Christ. How many Christians there are that go around saying, ‘‘Oh, my hand, my hand, my hurt band; don't you see there is blood on my hand, and there is blood on the sword?” while Eleazar, with the hilt imbedded in the flesh of his right hand,does not know it

must i ue corrieu io me wies On flow’ry beds ot ease. While others fought to win the prise Or sailed through bloody sees? What hare we suffered in comparison with those who expired with suffocation. or were burned, or were chopped to pieces for the truth’s sake? We talk of the persecution of olden times. There is just as much persecution going on now in various ways. In 1849, in Madagascar, eighteen men were put to death for Christ’s sake. They were to be hurled over the rocks, and before they were hurled over the rocks, in order tp make their death more dreadful in anticipation, they were put in baskets and swung to and fro over the precipice, that they might see how many hundred feet they would have to be dashed down, and while they were swinging in these baskets over the rocks they sang: Jesus, lover of my soul. I.et me to Thy bosom fly, While tile billows near me roll, While the teraptest still Is high. Then they ; were dashed down to death. Oh, how much others have endured for Christ, and how little we endure for Christ. We want to ride to Heaven in a Pullman sleeping-car, our feet on soft plush, the bed made up early so that we can sleep all the way, the black porter of death to wake us up only in time to enter the golden city. We want all the surgeons to fix our hand up. Let them bring on all the lint and all the bandages and all the salve, for our hand is hurt, while Eleazar does not know his hand is hurt. “His hand Clave unto the sword.” As I look at Eleazar’s hand I come to the conclusion that he has done a great deal of hard hitting. I am not surprised when T see that these four men—Eleazar and his three companions—drove back the army of Philistines, that Eleazar’s sword clave to his hand, for every time that he struck an enemy with one end of the sword the other end of the sword wounded him. When he took hold of the sword the sword took hold of him. Oh, we have found an enemy who can not be conquered by rose water and soft speeches. It must be sharp stroke and straight thrust There is intemperance, and there is fraud, and there is gambling, and there is lust, and there ate ten thousand battalions of iniquity, armed Philistine iniquity. How are they to be captured and overthrown? Soft sermons in morocco cases laid down in front of an exquisite audience will not do it You have got to call things by their right names. We have got to expel from our churches Christians who eat the sacrament on Sunday and devour widows’ houses all the week. We have got to stop our indignation against the Hittites and the Jebusites and the Gergishites, and let those poor wretches go, and apply our indignation to the modern transgressions which need to be dragged out and slain. Ahabs here.

neroas nere. dezeueis Here. xue massacre of the infants here. Strike for God so hard that while yon slay the sin the sword will adhere to your own hand. 1 tell you my friends, ».-e want a. few John Knoxes and John Wesleys in the Christian church to-day. The whole tendency is to refine on Christian work. We keep on refining1 on it until we send apologetic word to iniquity we are about to capture it Aud we must go with sword silverchased and presented by the ladies, and we must ride on white palfrey under embroidered housing, pu tting the spurs in only just enough to make the Charger dance gracefully, and then we must send a missive, delicate us a wedding card, to ask the old black giant of sin if he will not surrender. pWoinen saved by the grace of God and on glorions mission sent detained from Sabbath classes because their new hat is not done. Churches that shook our cities with great revivals sending around to ask some demonstrative worshipper if he will not please to say “amen” and “hallelujah*’ a little softer. It seems as if in our churches we wanted a baptism of cologne and balm of a thousand flowers, when we actually need a baptism of fire from the Lord God of Pentecost But we are so afraid somebody will criticise our sermons, or criticise our prayers, or criticise our religious work, that our anxiety for the world’s redemption is lost in the fear we will get our hand hurt while Eleazar went into the conflict “and his hand clave unto the sword.” . llut I see in the next place what a hard thing it was for Eleazar to get bis hand and his sword parted. Hie muscles and the sinews had been so long grasped around the sword he could not drop it when he proposed to drop it and his three comrades, X suppose, came up and tried to help him, and they bathed the back part of the hand, hoping the sinews and muscles would relax. But no. “Bis hand clave the sword.” Then they tried to pull open the fingers and to null back the thumb, but back

- ■■ ■-■ = onto the sword." But after awhile they were successful, and then they noticed that the carte in tile palm ot -the hand corresponded exactly with the curve of the hilt "His hand date unto the sword,” You and 1 hate seen It many a time. ’There are in the United States today many aged minister of the Gospel They are too feeble now to preach. In the church records the word opposite their name is "emeritus,’* or the words are, “a minister without charge.” They were a heroic race. They had small salaries, and bnt few books, and they swam spring freshet to meet their appointments. Bnt they did in their day a mighty work for God. They took off more of the heads of Philistine iniquity than yon could connt from noon to sundown. Von put that old minister of the Gospel now into a prayer meeting, or occasional pulpit, or a sick room where there is some one to be comforted, and it is the same old ring to his voice and the same old stoty of pardon and peace and Christ and Heaven. His hand has so long clutched the sword in Christian conflict he can not drop it. “His hand clave unto the sword.” J had in my parish in Philadelphia a very aged mao who, In his early life, had been the companion and adviser of the early presidents, Madison and Monroe. He had wielded vast influence, bnt I only knew him as a very sged man. The most remarkable thing about him was his ardor for Christ When he could not stand up in the meetings without propping he would throw his arm around a pillar of the church, and though his mind was partially gone, his love for Christ was so great that all were in deep respect and profound admiration, and were moved when he spoke. I was called to see him die. I entered the room, and he said: “Mr. Taimagc, I can not speak to you now.’ He was in a very pleasant delirium, as he imagined he had an audience before him. He said: “I must tell these people to come to Christ and prepare for Heaven.” And then in this pleasant delirium, both arms lifted, this octogenarian preached Christ, and told of the glories of the world to come. There, lying on his dying pillow, his dying hand clave to his sword.

There is the' headless body of Paul on the road to Ostea. His great brain and his great heart have been severed. The elm wood rods had stung him fearfully. When the corn ship broke up he swam ashore, coming up drenched with the brine. Every day since that day when the horse reared under him in the suburbs of Damascus, as the supernatural light fell, down to this day, when he was sixty-eight years of age, and old and decrepit from the prison cell of the Mamertine, he has been outrageously treated, and he is waiting to die? How does he spend his last hours? Telling the world how badly he feels, and describing the rheumatism that he got in prison, the rheumatism affecting his limbs, or the neuralgia piercing his temples, or the thirst that fevers his tongne? Oh, no, His last words are the battle shout for Christendom: “I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand; I have fought the good fight.” And so his dying hands clave unto the sword. It was in the front room on the second floor that my father lay a-dying. It was Saturday morning, four o’clock. Just three years before that day my mother had left him for the skies, and he had been homesick to join her company. He was eighty-three years of age. Ministers of the Gospel came in to comfort him, but he comforted them. IIow wonderfully the words sounded out from his dying pillow: “I have been young and now am old, yet have I never seen the righteous forsaken, or his seed begging bread.” They bathed his brow, and they bathed his hands, and they bathed his feet, and they succeeded in straightening out the feet; but they did not succeed in bathing open the hand so it would stay open. They bathed the hand open, but it came shut. They bathed it open again, but it came shut What was the matter with the thumb and the fingers of that old hand? Ah! it had so long clutched the sword of Christian conflict that “his hand clave unto the sword.” , I preach this sermon as a tonic. I want 3 ou to hold the truth with ineradicable grip, and I want you to strike so hard for God that it will react, and while you take the sword the sword will take you. You noticed that the officers of the northern army a few years ago assembled at Denver, and you noticed that the officers of the southern army assembled at Lexington. Soldiers coming together ard very apt to recount their experiences and to show their scars. Here is a soldier who pulls up his sleeve and says: “There, I was wounded in that arm,” and shows the scar. And another soldier pulls down his cdllar, and says, “There, I was wounded in the neck.” And another soldier says, “I have no use of the limb since the gunshot fractured.” O my friends, when the battle of life is over, and the resurrection has come, and our bodies rise from the dead, will we have on us any scars of bravery for God? Christ will be there all covered with scars. Scars on the brow, scars on the hand, scars on the feet, scars all over the heart won in the battle of redemption. And all Heaven will sob aloud with emotion as they look at those scars. Ignatius will be there, and he will point out the place where the tooth and the paw of the lion seised

mm iu mu i/uiuseum, ana <ionn nuss will be there, and he will show where the coal first scorched the foot on that day when his spirit took wing of flame from Constance. M’Millan and Campbell and Freeman, American missionaries in India, will be there—the men who, with their wives and children, went down in the awfnl massacre at Cawnpore, and they will show where the daggers of the sepoys struck them. The Waldenses will be there, and they will show where their bones were broken on that, day when the Piedmontese soldiery pitched them over the rocks. And there will be those there who took care of the sick and who looked after the poor, and they will have evidences of earthly exhaustion. And Christ, with His scarred hand waving over the scarred multitude, will say: “Yon suffered with Me on earth; now be glorified with Me in Heaven." And then the great organs of eternity will take up the chant, and St. John will play: “These are they who come out of great tribulation and had their robes washed and made white in the blood of the Lahib." But what will your chagrin and mine be if it shall be told that day on the streets of Heaven that on earth we shrank back from all toil and sacrifice and hardship? No scars ,to show the Heavenly soldiery. Not so much as one ridge on the palm of the hand to show that just once in the battle for Hod and and the truth we just once grasped the sword so firmly and struck so hard that the sword and the hand Btnck together, and the hand clave to the sword. O my Lord, Jesus, rouse us to Thy serv< ice! Tliy saints In all this glorious war Shall conquer though they die; They see tho triumph from afar. And seize it with the eye. When that illustrious day shall rise, And all Thy armies shine

=====- DOWN GO WAGES. Dm Ml Blnr Cotton Manufacturers Will Reduce Wnsren—OperatlTe i Will A Specimen Tariff Industry—Blaine on wages. A meeting of the Fell Bluer, Mass., cotton manufacturers Was recently held end a resolution wee adopted to make an ear'y reduction In wages. The spin* ners and wearers hare held a meeting and hare decided to resist this reduction.' At this meeting it wasroted to instruct the secretary to prepare all wearers’ unions in the national union for a strike. The protection papers are in the habit of boasting of the cotton spinning and wearing industry as one of the brightest illustrations of the “beneficences of protection.” Yet here is their pet tariff industry doing the rery thing that protection was giren it to keep it from doing. “Protection makes wages high and keeps them high,” is the false and foolish cry of the McKinleyites; but the Fall Hirer manufacturers hare determined to put wages down. This is done, too, at a time when they hare been buying raw cotton ranging from 30 to 30 per cent, below the prices of last year. These men cannot offer the excuse that they hare been paying higher wages than are paid in England. Ten years ago, when James G. Blaine was secretary of state under President Garfield, he made a report on the cotton goods trade of the world, in which he said:

Tho wages of spinners sna wearers In Lancashire and In Ma-saehusetts, according to the foregoing statements, were as rollows per week: Spinners, English, 17. ;0 to 18.10 (master-spinners running as high as >11); American. 17.07 to >10 3 ! Wearers. English. 13.81 to 1S-6I, subject at the date on which these rates wi re given to a reduction of 10 per cent.; American, tin to »73. .V The average wages of the employes In the Mass tebusetts mills are as follows, according to the official returns: Men 18 30; women, 55.01; male children, fill; female children, HOS. According to Consul Shaw’s report the average wages of the men etnplored in the Lancashire mills on the 1st of January. 1881, was about >4.01 per week, subject to a reduction of 10 per cent; women from ittHtoU.il, subject to a reduction of 10 per cent Tho hours of labor in the Laneashi re mills are fifty-six. In the Massachusetts sixty per week. The hours of labor in the mills in the other New England states where the wages are generally less than In Massachusetts, are usually sixty-six to stxty-uine per week. Undoubtedly the inequalities in the wages of English and American operatives aire more than equalized by the greater efll ilenoy of the latter and their longer hours of labor. Notwithstanding the fact that they pay no higher wages than are paid, in England, oar Fall River manufacturers do not figure at all as competitors with the English in the world’s markets. They have cheaper cotton and about the Bame wages; yet the English hold the world's markets for cotton goods. Last December when our manufacturers found that they had on hand a vast stock of plain white cotton; cloth for use in making calico prints, and that they could no longer effect ready sales at their "combine” price of 3 5-16 cents per yard, they were compelled to reduce prices about 10 per cent In their distress they turned their attention to the foreign market, hoping to get rid of their surplus in other countries; but they found that they could not do any export business at U-higher price than 2% cents a yard. This meant a reduction of nearly 30 per cent, from the price which the manufacturers had been realizing in the home market through their “combine.” They decided to stick 1>o the home market, “the best market in the world.” Since 1816 our cotton will have enjoyed protection for “building up a home market,” but to this day they are able to take but little more than onefourth of our domestic cotton crop. How long does it take to build up an industry to consume our domestic products? And how long must it be protected to “make wages high, and keep them high?”__ FARMERS AND THE CENSUS. Gain of Wealth In Manufacturing and Farming States—Farmers Falling JSehlnd In Wealth. Robert P. Porter’s census, bad as it is, has already furnished abundant means for refuting his egregious falsehood that “the direct benefits he [the farmer] receives from the protective tariff are far in excess of the benefits received by any other class.” If the farmer is getting so much more good out of the tariff than the manufacturers it ought to lie shown in the growth of agricultural states. These latter ought at least to keep pace in the accumulation of wealth with manufacturing statea Even Porter’s census shows the exact opposite to be the case.

Heye is how wealth has increased, according to Poirter, in eight manufacturing states during the pas t ten years: Connecticut..% 31,738,821 Maine. 73,150,385 Massachusetts.. 869,377,834 New Hampshire..’.. 87,966,835 New J rsey. 115,790,836 Pennsylvania.. 909,382.016 Rhode Island. C9.227.830 Vermont . 74 741,573 Total Increase In ten years.....11,931,416,791 Now,these eight manufacturing states contain the following population, according to the census of 1890;: Connecticut... 761,238 Maine. 681,086 Massachusetts...f.. 2,238,943 New Hampshire. 376,830 New Jersey. 1,441,973 Pennsylvania.... 5,258,011 Rhode Island. 348,806 Vermont. 332,422 Total..11,421,692 Such is the story in the states where protected manufacturers most do congregate. How have our '“protected” farmers flourished in the same time? Let Porter's ccnsns answer. Hera are five agricnltnral states with somewhat larger population: Incrtaie hi.

The protected American feudal lord bnys what he needs: and consumes in the cheapest market in the worlc^and sells his product in the dearest, whereas, the rural American serf sells his product in the cheapest market in the world and has to buy all necessaries of life in the dearest market which is the protected home market and the only market where be can supply himself.” Saving •56,000,000* “Fifty-five millions of dollars saved to the people of the United States is the record of the McKinley law for the first nine months. Free sugar accounts for about one-half of the reduction, and the benefit of this is felt on every itable in the land.” So says Robert P. Porter’s New York Press, and then this idiotic organ has the “cheek” to go on with its old cry, “The foreigner pays the tax.” But keep up your boasts abont free sugar saving so much to the people. Your boasts will do good; even those who are sitting in great darkness and never see a democratic paper will learn that the tariff is after all a tax. -Why do our McKinleyltes never try to explain the fact that wages are mueh higher in "free trade England" than hlgbljr profet*d Fr*nce and Qep many?

Among the pretty slippers for evening wear are noticed those of black velvet, with a gold or. silver buckle upon them, or a tiny little ornament in Rhine stones as their decoration. How many people know that this is a fashion adopted from the Orient where even the bridal slipper is of white velvet embroidered with gold? The Turkish slippers, such as the ladies Of the Arabian Nights wore, and which may have decorated the feet of Blue Beard’s unfortunate wives, are specially liked for bedroom wear. They are all leather and are shown in all the colors of the rainbow, heavily embroidered with either gold, silver or white; are heelless, and have their pointed toes turned up in that coquettish fashion which tends to make the feet look small. They are extremely comfortable for bedroom slippers and, as they are not expensive, almost every, woman who desires can have a pair.—Ladies’ Home Journal. Good New* from England.
