The Inordinate Love of Money
Brings Untold Misery.
The love of money is the toot of all
evil. -I. Timothy vi., 10.
Net money in itself proves such a
chime, but the love of it. It may be
Wade a source of all that is good. When,

sieed of our servant misery untold is the
oeneequeuce. Its personal as well as

cian story of the e;einan who asked the

buried beneath their weight.
The inerdinote love of money is a
Clow at religion. In the earlier days
of the faith, the younger Pliny remark-
ed: "See how these l:hrtstians love one
enother."
Afterward. through the worship of
old rather than of Hint who proclaims,
"The silver and gold are mine," there
was a decadence In spiritual wealth as

Convict fled to Steal a Sull of Clothes
and Took the Remains of

'through lite recent recapture of two
convict. who escaped from Dartmoor
(England) Prison there has been brought
'o light the story, never heretofore pub-
li-lted, of the romantic sequel to another
escape made ten years ago.
Escapes from 1h•' most famous of
Britain's penal institutions are exceet-
iregly tare and seldom does tree fugi-
tive succeed in retaining his freedom
ter more than a day or two at most.
The prison is situated to the midst of a
desolate moorland region and is sur-
m:urlded by hogs and morasses, which
offer tremendous obstacles to the cun-
'tct who makes a bid for liberty. if
1e betakes himself to the few roadways

rause they are carefully watched when
11. becomes known that anyone has es-
caped. Stimulated by the reward e f
to which is paid for the recapture of
a prisoner the fanners join in the man

ler a town the fugitive must manage
to exchange his jail uniform for ordin-
ary clothing. This he can obtain only
I y stealing it. Destitute of money he
bas to resort to the same method to get
ford. while still wearing the garb that
brnnds him as a criminal doing time.
Escape. from within tho prison walls
is almost irripossible-except in sensa-
tional novels. It is only when fogs
come up suddenly, as they are apt to
ego on the moors. that those who are
working outside the prison occasional-
ly find a chance to
GIVE TIIE GUARDS TIIE SLiP.
A gang of 60 men was working on
Christmas Eve, 1897, in the rear of the
prison and some distance from it, when
a tog was observed sweeping down up-
on them. 'Three of them --Ralph Good-
win, William Carter and William Mar-
lin- decided to boll when the mist
enveloped them. At a signal given Ly
Goodwin the three sten dug their lin-
gers into the earth, threy handfuls of
soil into the faces of the guard and
took to their heels. The warders were
thrown into temporary confusion, but
soon recovered. "Cover them; fire!"
shouted the chief warder. Shots rang
out; a scream followed and Carter was
picked up dead with a bullet through
hie heart. 11e was undergoing a life
sentence for brutal murder of an old
►.,an and only through the skill of Isis
counsel had succeeded in cheating the
gallows. The retribution that had over-
taken h1111, it was generally felt, was
a just one.
Marlin was soon afterward brought
to bay under a tree. Ile threatened
the warder who had run hint down
with u piece of granite, but was felled
with a bludgeon and carried insensible
te the jail.
As Goodwin leaped over a hedge Lo
heard Carter's death shriek and felt
the whirr/ of a bullet That just lI,Lsseel
his own head. Not knowing whither
he rail he fled blindly in the mist end
fast gathering darkness. For hours
he kept going floundering often w•aist-

he was putting miles between him and
the prison.
When down broke, to his dismay. he

Admittance to (louses as Nurses.
In England at present there appears
to be an epidemic of thefts by bogus
"tritium' nurses," women who. becnuse
of a lack of registration or control over
the training horses, are able to pose es
real nurses.
It appears that upon the payment et
a small weekly fee. n clover women rimy
gain an enty entry to what are known
as "nursing home," some of which, it
is alleged, are Clone too particular ;n
eslnbltahing the bona fides of a fresh
"pupil." Once inside such it home. she

FANCY AND USEFUL. APRONS.
Aprons used to be looked upon as an
article of utility Duly, but of late yeah
tt:ey have become things of leauty cs
well, and the artistic ones now are re-
ceiving attention as being available for
(Witty gifts. '!'here are not only the
aprons for horse wear, but novelties
fir office tine, such as the stenographers
apron, etc. 'rhe latter is useful for pro-
tecting the dress, and, al'huugh it slioltiioi.t
made in a thoroughly pra'aiea1 man-
ner, yet a touch of daintiness should be
given, which will add to 11to otherwise

apron; ere sheer lawns, mustitu, and
Lr.ndkerehief linens, made in co11nbina-
L•ons with lace insertions, edgings, and
wash ribbons. Swiss ',instills and er-
gandies in delicate colors, with lace
ruffles, are exceedingly pretty and
easily made, requiring little trimming,
as the material is sulllcicnt in itself. A
p1 aclical fancy work apron is one with
deep pockets. 'fI11s may be innde in
one pie're, the tower part being turned
tip to form a tong pocket, which may
he divided into sections. Linens and
wash silks are as seitnble as any ma-
terial for an apron of this style, which
will require laundering. Little round
aprons are dainty, and those cut with
ei quite sharp point in the front are ex-
ceedingly graceful. Many have little
bibs anti some have brelelles.
These dressy aprons should. of course,
be x010'1, reaching scarcely to the kneel.
If made longer the graceful effect is
lost. -
Attractive colored aprons may be
made, using chambray or light s-elg!tt

broidery done with white mercerized
cotton. Cream crash and ecru linen
trimmed with lace the same color are
quite effective, and on (hese the colored

colored aprons are most useful to the

serted in the point. There Ls a bond ct
