Doubting Thomas and loving John, 
With the others walking on. 
“Tell me now, John, dare you be 
One of the small minority; 
To he lonely in your thought, 
Never to l>e sought or bought; 
To 1 h- dropped and shunned, and go 
'Through the world esteemed its foe; 
To bear off your titles well. 
Heretic and infidel; 
To he singled out and hissed, 
'Pointed out as one unblessed; 
Warred against in whispers faint, 
Lest the children catch a taint? 
If you dare, come now with me, 
Fearless, confident and free.” 
“Thomas, do you dare fo be 
One of the great majority; 
To be only as the rest, 
With Cod’s common blessings blest; 
To accept in humble part 
Truth that shines on every heart; 
To he never set on high 
Where the envious curses fly ; 
Never name and fame fo find. 
Far outstripped in soul or mind ; 
To he hid, except to God, 
As one grass-blade in the sod. 
Under foot with millions trod? 
If you dare, come, with us be 
Lost in love’s great unity." 
—Edward Rowland Sill.

Pressing a pleated skirt is often a 
troublesome thing unless the pleats are 
basted in. One can save trouble, how¬ 
ever, by pinning a couple of pleats at 
a time to the ironing board, stretching 
the pleats flat, and putting a large pin 
at top and bottom. Then lay a damp 
cloth over the goods, and press with a 
hot iron, and the pleats are soon re¬ 
stored to tailored smoothness. We al¬ 
ways do this pressing on the wrong 
side, to avoid making the material shiny.

One of the handsomest of the new 
colors this Fall is raisin, which is, as 
its name implies, a purplish brown 
with a garnet shade, just like a ripe 
raisin. It is a very becomng color to 
almost everyone. There are a good 
many new shades of plum, prune, dah¬ 
lia and purple, and among the velvet 
flowers for Winter hats are big dah¬ 
lias as regularly quilled as the real 
flower, matching all these tints, inclu¬ 
ding raisin. Velvet hats are not dis¬ 
played freely yet, but there are many 
Fall shapes covered with moire espe¬ 
cially in garnet and raisin tones; they 
are usually trimmed with a velvet bow 
or flowers. 
* 
The new Fall tailor suits still show 
snugly fitting sleeves and long plain cut 
with narrow hip lines. They are usually 
single-breasted, with narrow revers cut 
low; in some of them the revers come 
down to the waist line. While the lines 
are very plain, a good deal of soutache 
and other braiding is used, on cuffs, re¬ 
vers aiid large pockets. It is quite pos¬ 
sible, however, that larger sleeves will 
be called for in coats before the Win¬ 
ter is over, for many of the new cos¬ 
tumes show puffed sleeves, some of 
them with elbow puffs, looking very 
queer indeed compared with the skin¬ 
tight styles of the past year. Kilt- 
pleated skirts are a prominent feature, 
just as we have grown accustomed to 
plain gores, but there is an evident re¬ 
action against the close skirts of the 
past season. As for the sheath skirt 
which was held up as a dressmaker’s- 
bugaboo, it was never taken 'seriously, 
and is now as dead as Pharaoh.

One of the Egyptian relics recently 
brought to England by Professor Flind¬ 
ers Petrie, the distinguished Egyptolo¬ 
gist, is a pot of pomade for the com¬ 
plexion, which belonged to an Egyptian 
lady of quality who died in the seven¬ 
teenth dynasty, or about 3,650 years 
ago. A complete outfit of toilet requi¬ 
sites was buried with her, enclosed in a 
beautifully woven basket. In addition 
to the pomade, which was in a beauti¬ 
ful alabaster jar, there were pots of a 
preparation for painting the eyebrows, 
a carved horn to hold oil and a blue 
marble dish like a pin tray. A bead fly 
whisk, two bead pouches, sewing ma¬ 
terials and jewelry were also interred 
with this mummy. Modern critics who 
lament the artificial aids to beauty of 
the present day will find them duplica¬ 
ted in long-dead periods, as in the ruins 
of Pompeii, which are modern when 
compared with the thirty centuries or 
more that take us back to the old 
dynasties of Egypt.

There has been a discussion in the 
New York Sun as to the proper way 
of making real old-fashioned New Eng¬ 
land clam chowder. The following was 
given as the best method for Newbury- 
port chowder, as made for forty years 
and more along the Maine and Massa¬ 
chusetts coast: For each pint of shelled 
(soft) clams take three or four small 
slices of salt (pickled “mess”) pork 
and fry the fat out of it in the kettle 
to be used for making the chowder. To 
this fat add about six potatoes sliced 
and two small onions •sliced. Put the 
Some little time ago we printed a 
cat-and-eagle story from the Pacific 
Coast, where an Angora cat was carried 
away by an eagle for twenty miles into 
the mountains, but returned a few days 
later, minus some of its fur, but with 
no information concerning the eagle. 
The Kennebec Journal tells about a 
Maine cat which seems to hold the re¬ 
cord so far. It states that some days 
ago two large eagles descended upon 
the town of Milo and carried off Biff, 
the big Persian cat belonging to Mrs. 
L. H. Ryder at the Silver Lake Hotel. 
No one ever expected to see her again, 
but Monday morning she reappeared 
outside of Mrs. Ryder’s window ap¬ 
parently but little the worse for her ex¬ 
perience. Some of the long fur about 
her throat was missing and there were 
several scratches on her back, but she 
was purring contentedly and- has taken 
her customary allowance of milk and 
sardines to-day without the slightest 
difficulty. The final act in the drama 
was unfolded this afternoon when Dave 
Ilutchingson arrived here from his Bee 
Pond camps with the bodies of two 
eagles which he found in the Ten Mile 
Shanty road about five miles from here. 
The head of one of them had been 
clawed terribly and the throat of the 
other had been torn open. That they 
both met death at the hand of the cat 
there can be no doubt. But how she 
managed to despatch them without her¬ 
self sustaining serious injury is a com¬ 
plete mystery which even Bill McBride, 
the Houston Mountain bee fancier does¬ 
n’t attempt to unravel. 
The Rural Patterns. 
There is a pronounced revival of 
plaited skirts, and the misses’ model 
shown is a very stylish one. The skirt 
is made in seven gores, the seams all 
being concealed <by the plaits. It is 
joined to a belt and closed invisibly at 
the back. The quantity of material re¬ 
quired for the 16-year size is 7 x / 2 yards 
24 or 27, \ x / 2 yards 44 or 52 inches wide. 
The pattern 6434 is cut in sizes for 
girls of 14 and 16 years of age; price 
10 cents. 
The blouse which shows no visible 
closing is always a pretty and attractive 
one and this model includes the new 
deep, narrow chemisette. It is made 
with the new sleeves, too, that are cut 
off to show pretty close fitting under 
ones of thin material and it is equally 
well adapted to entire gowns and to the 
separate blouse. The waist is made over 
a fitted lining and consists of fronts 
and back with the chemisette. The lin¬ 
ing is closed at the center front, the 
waist invisibly at the left of the front. 
The sleeves are tucked and arranged 
over the linings, which are faced to ! 
form the under sleeves. The quantity t 
of material required for the medium 
size is 3 7/s yards 21, 24 or 27 or 2 yards 
44 inches wide with 94 yard 18 inches 
wide for the chemisette and under 
sleeves and 2J4 yards of banding. The 
pattern 6435 is cut in sizes for a 34, 
36, 38, 40 and 42 inch bust measure; 
price 10 cents._ 
Perpetual Yeast. —I am obliged to 
Mrs. Louise M. Young for adding her 
experiences to mine in the use of per¬ 
petual yeast. It was an oversight not 
to state that different flour requires dif¬ 
ferent amounts of liquid. I am inclined 
to think her yeast must be a little dif¬ 
ferent from ours, as we never need to 
let the bread rise twice before putting 
it into the pans, neither does the yeast 
•ever fail to respond, though we leave 
it unused for ten days or even longer. 
In my experience, all that is necessary 
is to keep it cool between baking days— 
this, however, is essential.
