was "'The Chant of the Stars," and the
text .doh :38, r,, 7, "Who laid the corner-
stone thereof when the morning stars
gene t., ether."
We !ince all seen the ceremony at the
laying of the cornerstone of church, asy-
lum or Masonic temple. Into the hollow
of the stone were planed scrolls of his-
tory and important documents, tobe
suggestive if, 100 or 200 yearn after, tate
building should be destroyed by fire or
torn down, We remember the silver
trowel cr iron hammer that smote the
square piece of granite into sanctity. We
rement er some venerable man who pre-
sidedwielding the trowel or hammer. We
remember also the musin as the choir
stood nu the scattered stones and timber
of the building about to be constructed,
The leaves of the notebooks fluttered in
the wind and were turned over with a
great rustling, and we remember how
the bass, heritone, tenor, contralto and
thorium voices commingled. They had
$or many days been rehearsing the special
programme that it might be worthy of
the cornerstone laying.
1n my text the poet of Uz calls us to a
grendor ceremony—the laying of the
foundation of tbia great temple of a
world. Tho cornerstone was a bleak of
light, and the trowel was of celestial
crystal. All about and on the embank-
ments of °lauds stood the angelic ohoris-
. ters unrolling their librettos of overture,
and other worlds clapped shining cym-
bals while the cerexnopy went on, and
God, the Arnhiteot, by stroke' of light
after stroke of light, dedicated this great
cathedral of a world, with mountains
for pillars and sky for frescoed ceiling
and flowering fields for a floor and sun-
rise and midnight aurora for upholstery.
"Who ]aid the cornerstone thereof, when
the morning stars sang together?"
The fast is that the whole universe
was a complete cadence, an unbroken
dithyramb, a musical portfolio. The
groat sheet of immensity had been spread
out, and written on it were the stars. the
smaller of them minims, the larger of
them wetained notes. The meteors
marked the staccato passages, the whole
heavens a gamut with all sounds, intona-
tions, modulations, the space between
the worlds a ntusloal interval, trembling
of stellar light a quaver, the thunder a
bass clef, tho wind among trees a treble
elef. That is the way God made ail
things a perfect harmony.
But one day a harp string snapped in
the great orchestra. One day a voice
sounded out of tune. One day a discord,
harsh and terrific, grated upon the glori-
ous antiphon. It was sin that made the
dissonance, and that harsh discord has
been sounding through thecenturies. All
the wort: of Christians and philanthro-
piste anal reformers of all ages is to stop
that discord and get all things back into
the nerfeot harmony which was heard nt
the laying of tho cornerstone when the
morning, stars sang together. Before I
get through, if I am divinely helped, I
will make it plain that sin is discord ant
righteousness Harmony; that in general
things are out of tune is as plain as to a
musician's ear is the unhappy °lash of
clarirut and bassoon in an orchestral
rendering.
Tho world's health out of tune; weak
lungs and the atmosphere in collision,
disordered eye and noonday light in
quarrel, rheutnatio limb and damp
weather in struggle; neuralgias and
pneumonias, and consumptions, and epi-
leptics in flocks sweep the neighborhoods
and oitlee. Where you find one person
with sound throat, and keen eyesight,
and alert ear, and easy respiration, and
regular pulsation, and supple limb, and
prime digestion, and steady nerves, you
find 100 who have to be very careful be-
cause this or that or the other physical
function is disordered,
The human intellect out of tune; the
judgment wrongly swerved, or the mem-
ory leaky, or the will weak, nr the tem-
per inflammable. the well balanced mind
exceptional.
Domestic life out of tune; only here
and there conjugal outbreak of incom-
patability of temper through the divorce
courts, nr a filial outbreak about a fath-
er's will through the surrogate's court or
a case of wife beating or husband poison-
ing through the criminal courts, but
thousands of families with June outside
and January within. -
Society out of tone; labor and capital,
their hands on each other's throat; spirit
of caste keeping those down in the social
scale who are struggling to get up, and
putting those who are up in anxiety lest
they have to come down. No wonder the
old pianoforte of society is all out of
sune,when hypocrisy and lying, and sub-
terfuge, and double dealing, and syco-
phancy, and charlatanism, and revenge
have for 6,000 years been banging away
at the keys and stamping the pedals.
On all sides there to a shipwreck of
harmonies --nations in discord ' without
realizing it. So wrong, is the feeling of
nation for nation that symbols obosen
are fierce and destructive. In this coun-
try, where our skies are full of robins
and doves and morning larks, we have
our national symbol, the fierce and filthy
eagle, as cruel a bird as can be found in
all the ornithological catalogues. In
Great Britain,where they have lambs and
fallow deer, their symbol is the merciless
lion. In Russia, where from between her
frozen north and blooming south all
kindly beasts dwell they chose the growi-
ing;bear, and in the world's heraldry a
favorite figure is the dragon, the fabled
winged .serpent, ferocious and dreadful.
And so fond is the world of contention
that we climb out through the heavens
and baptize one of the other planets with
the spirit of battle and call it Mars,
after the god of war, and we give to the
eighth sign of the zodiac the name of
the scorpion, a creature which is chiefly
celebrated for its: deadly sting. But,.
after all, these symbols are expressive of
the way nation feelstoward nation—dis-
cord wide as the continent and bridging
the seas.

Ynu may have heard what is called the
"Anvil Chorus," composed by Verdi, a
tune played by hammers, great and

with Heavy stroke, beating a great iron
anvil. That is what the world has got

TAILOR-MADE GIRL,
$kir, Eerfectly plaits and Measuring Four
and one-LIalf Verde.
The leading materials for the tailor-
made girls are undoubtedly tweeds, home-
spuns, serges and smooth broadcloths,.
and of these hotnesptns are very much
in the majority.
It le a material oomhining every es-
sential for a tailor gown; it has -body, the
correct finish, is durable, and makes up
most efl'entively,
A nobby gown of anis sort is made up
in a dull blue gray Dolor showing an
occasional neck of scarlet.
The skirt is perfectly plain, and mea-
sures four and else -half yards around the
hem. There are but throe seams. at the
sides and down the neater of the back,
an effective compromise between the
Parisian winter models, which are so
very Darrow, and our flaring summer
styles. The bodice is draped across the
figure in fiat, soft folds, and shows a
thiek cord of navy-blue silk, and one of
silver, as a finish at the bottom. The
collar is a deep pointed stock of navy
blue, topped with a thick ruching of
blue mousseline de sole, set to form
huge rose choux at each ear.
The sleeves are gracefully made in the
mousquetalra style, very close, and
wrinkled from the deep point at the hand
to the full, flat puff at the shoulder.
With this severe gown is effectively
worn a rippling collarette of Iitateian
sable, fastened at the front with one of
the new loop clasps. A big muff of the
fur completes it,
The jaunty little capote is made up of
navy-blue velvet, °rushed up at the side
and back. and made smart with huge
silk poppies of dark blue, and two nod-
ding blue plumes.
To Olean Furs:
To most women the art of cleaning
add brightening furs is.a profound mys-
tery, but a cheerful little housekeeper
whose husband is a furrier divulges the
secrets of the trade for the benefit of
women who desire to be economical, and
are willing to take some trouble to be
so. She says that all dark fnrs such as
seal, mink and otter, are best renovated
with mahogany or fine cedar sawdust,
which is kept in stook by all furriers,
and of which enough to clean a dozen
garments can be purchased for a smnli
sum. Lay the garment fiat on a bare
table, fur side up, take a handful of saw-
dust, and rub it thoroughly into the
hairs. Spare neither sawdust nor
strength, for the appearance of the fur
afterwards will warrant the lavish use
of both. When the garmeat has been
treated, take it up and shake it lightly
over the table, when, of course, a great
deal of the sawdust will fall out; it
should be gathered up and carefully
saved. Now lay upon the tnblo two
pillows in their slips, and over them
spread the garment, fur down this time,
and heat it thoroughly with a light
rattan or smooth switch. Move the pil-
lows along as they are needed, so as to
always have a soft support for the gar-
ment. Take it up, shake lightly, brush
off the pillows and table, and continue
heating until the fur is free from saw-
dust, when it will be as bright as new
far.
White furs must bo cleaned with plain
white cornmeal, but in the same man-
ner. Small white furs that are not much
soiled may be freshened by the use of cube
magnesia, which must be thoroughly
rubbed in, and then as thoroughly dust-
ed out. Fur cloaks. light or dark, often
become disfigured with carriage grease,
but it will yield readily to gasoline ap-
plied with a piece of cotton batting.
Gentle rubbing and a renewal of cotton
frequently are necessary to secure suc-
cess. Pitch, paint, resin, tar and oil
stain's can all be treated in this way, and
if they do not readily disappear, oil of
turpentine, benzine or spirits of ether
can be used.
Flounces, Figaros and .1l'ichus.
Three F's may be said to express the
leading styles • for autumn—Flounces,
Figaros and Fiehus. Skirts, while not-
ably fuller all round, are being trimmed
with more or less elaboration, and the
shrunken sleeves give promise of a com-
ing reign of tightness recalling perhaps
the eelskin dresses of the eighties. In
looking over the lntesb "creations" of
Parisian houses as exhibited by the lead-
ing New York shops, what strikes one
most is the tendency to squareness, both
in cut and trimmings --jackets with
straight fronts have square revers,
square -Gabbed collars and even snare
buttons. Bodices follow the same right
angles, fur -trimmed mantles have the
fur put on squarely, vinare designs in
braiding seem unusually popular, and
ad infinitum.
Care of Sato, Shoes.
To clean satin shoes, take a piece of
new flannel and dip it in spirits of wine,
rub the satin lengthwise; change the
soiled part of the flannel, so as not to
rub the dirt on to a place you have
cleaned already. White satin shoes should
be kept in blue patter, and if laid by for
a long period a sheet of wadding over the
blue paper will exclude the air and pre-
vent the satin from acquiring a yellow
tint.

RELEASED FROM RHEUMATIS,af.
Mr. A. T. Gallant, of French Village,
1'. 21. I.,, writes: "About the beginning
of October, 1894, while I was digging
potatnes one wet chilly day, I nontraoted
a very bad cold, and rheumatism shortly
followed. For a time I paid but little
attention to the pain in my body or the
stiffness in my limbs. But in the enema
of a few weeks I was confined to the
house. I now began to apply rheumatic
remedies which I continued for several
weeks without any benefitresulting from'
their use. I then dropped them and gave
myself into the hands of a 'doctor for
treatment, and for nearly three months
all that medical skill is capable of ac-
complishing afforded no relief. lely body
was blistered and burned so that I oonld
get no relief. My legs were stiff and
helpless and I was as sore as a boil, lay
strength was entirely gone and I had to
be turned over by the use of sheets and
blankets I was daily growing weaker
and my condition more serious. Hope of
recovery had almost vanished, except
that while there is life there is hope.'
After three months of,sloth torture I was
induced to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
a trial. I gave up all other I-re:latent
and began the use of the pills. Not a
great many days had passed until there
was a marked improvement in my con-
dition and I continued the use of tho
p.iils until I was cured. 1 have as good
use of my liinbs as ever Thad; my health
is perfectly restored and it is all due to
the wonderful power - of Dr. Williams'
Pink, Pills which released me from pain
and have given tate a new Iease of life."
DYSPEPSIA AND LIVER TROUBLE (Tome).
Mr. Mark T. Kennedy, of Ridgetown,
says: "I can conscientiously recommend
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to those who
may be suffering from dyspepsia or liver
trouble. For years I suffered from this
complication of troubles, and so bad was
the dyspepsia that I could not touch a
morsel of food of any kind. I often
found it difficult to obtain sleep, and
what little I did get at these times was
often broken by horrid dreams. This of
course was the result of the dyspepsia.
Brit in addition to my discomfiture was
added liver complaint. I was subject to
dizziness, I had a pain in the back and
bloating of the bowels and was pale,
haggard and despondent. It will be read-
ily seen that I was in a bad condition. I
kept doctoring and dosing myself with-
out the slightest benefit, and finally gave
up in disgust, feeling thab I would have
to live out my life in this miserable con-
dition. A friend suggested Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, but so great was my disgust
at medicine that I felt tempted to be
profane. But my trend was persistent
and in the end handed me a box of. pills,
and 1 took titans more to please him than
from any thought of benefit. I took a
second box and to my astonishment I
was deriving benefit from thein. I con-
tinued taking them and I am cured. Do
you wonder therefore that I now consider
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills the greatest
medical discovery of -the 19th century,
and will alwaysrecommend them. I urge
those who are suffering, but may be as
skeptical as I was to try there and learn
their virtue "
SWOLLEN' AND DROPSICAL-001WD.
Mrs. Alex, Koss, Broad Cove, N. S.,
says: "Early in the summer of 189'1 I
was tnl'en i11. Prior to that I had always
enjoyed good health. I seemed weak and
easily tired. Then my arms, hands and
legs became swollen and pained ine ter-
ribly. My trouble seemed like dropsy. I
tried several doctors and took their med-
icine, bat got no relief. In fact one of
them told me I could not be cured. In
this state I suffered for some tune until
T was, advised by a friend who had ,her-
self oxperienoed great benefit from the
use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, to try
them. 1 did so, and after taking a Couple
of boxes could notice no improvement
and was discouraged. However; at the
earnest solicitation of my friend, I con-
tinned their use and wag on my sixth
box when the longed for improvement
came. Prole that out it was.eteady and
rapid. My limbs assented their normal
size and shape, my eppetltse unproved,
and by the time I had *ken eleven
boxes was a well woman. I make this
statement to enoourage those in doubt
as I was, about taking this medielne. Y
believe It the best on earth, and that
wader Providence it cured me,"

Mr. Frank' Dunham, Weilandport,
Ont., says: "I feel it a duty I owe to
you as well as to other sufferers to make
known the good I derived from the use
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Two years
ago I was completely ,run down in
health. I could not go up stairs without
sitting down to rest. There was no color
in my lips and I was quite ambitionlses.
I was clerking in a store at the time
and thought I would have to give up my
position, as it was with diffloulty I could
wait upon customers, I took medicine
from doctors but got .. no permanent
relief,and became low spirited and
thought there was no help for me. One
day a lady who carne into the store to
Duruhase some of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills said to me, 'Frank, why don't you
try Pink Pills?' Well, I followed her
advice and the result is I am now as
well as ever I was lo my life, and believ-
ing as I do that Pink Pills saved me I
cannot say tuo 100011 in their praise."

Mr. D. Hefron, a well-known farmer
living near Charleston Lake, says: "I
had a severe attack of la grippe and was
unable to recover my farmer health. I
lost all ambition and even the lightest of
my farm work left me weak and tired
out. I would have spells of dizziness aha
companied by pains in my back that
would sometimes last for days. Frequent-
ly I could not get . to sleep until near
morning, and when I arose T fele more
tired than when I went to bed. I had
tried several medicines, but got no good
from them, and then I determined to try
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. After r had
tried a couple of hoses there was a de-
cided improvement. I could sleep better,
my spirits rose and I began to look for
my meals half au hour before the usual
tuna. I continued the use of the Pink
Pills some time longer and found my
he:filth fully restored, I am . now an
enthusiastic friend of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills and will always look to them
for relief it illness attacks ine."

fax, N. 5., writes: "For several months
in the year 1895 I suffered severely from
tierangement of the kidneys and liver

relief from the medicines prescribed by
-my physician. I lost ]u flesh, grew sal-
low, had no appetite and was mnnh
troubled with insomnia, and though only
about twenty years of age, life bad grown
burdensome, and it was thought by my
intimate friends that my health was per-
manently undermined, When I had be-
come almost indifferent as to the future

very soon, gained flesh and was enabled
to sleep soundly, and with a restored ap-
