The ford Mayor of London has • received an appeal from a "very Indian' of the Brahmin caste which gives au illustration of what • • is called bahoo English and suggests • at the saine time a very simple .and • direct method of solving the ter- • , rible bread and butter problem. •The writer says that, owing to his ► "poverty and unhealthiness," he cannot earn money by any profes- sion and yet he has great need of tnoncy. "Including use there are eight metHb, rs in ley large, poor and pitiable family." 'There are the paternal grandmother, the ma- ternal grandmother, the mother, an aunt and a first and second daugh- ter. •'Moreover, I must perform marriage for toy two daughters," and for the lord mayor there is this hint : So if I have at least £2,000 as a capital for my large, poor and piti- able family I can invest this amount • in the safest bank, and I can main- tain my large, poor and pitiable family by the interest on this ca- t pital. So 1 must humbly request ► your lordship to regard rue as your • lordship's own son and send me at least £2,000 at your lordship's ear- ' liest convenience. 1 and in car- t nest.

The lord mayor has more than he can possibly use, he would not feel the loss of the £2,000 and, consider- ing that there are eight people to be cared for the request is really a very modest one. Furthermore, the mail of wealthy philanthropists would show that this "very Indi- an" is not alone in his reasoning if his language is a little queer. In all parts of the world there are peo- ple who have arrived at the con- clusion that they cannot earn money by any profession, who feel that they have come to the end of a hopeless struggle and who pro- pose a division of funds that will not hurt the donor and that will lift thein out of their troubles.

All Our Pleasures and Endeavors Are But the Spirit of Man Seeking More Lif© "Holding forth the word of life." —Phil. ii. to. Why should a man bother him- self about religion at all t Is it in order to avert the wrath of the Al- mighty or to make certain of feli- city in the future 1 Once eupersti- Won so held sway that fear was a sufficient motive to make all men at least formally if not vitally re- ligious. '1'u -day tte feel that that is a damaging faith that turus any man into a. trembling, terror-strick- en slave. Once men laid their possessions on the altars of relisiun in order to placate the deities ; in later tinges they are told to lay their minds there. Intellectual stultifi- cation is the price that many are strung to pay to secure an imagined peace of mind or future felicity. With many religion is a scheme of getting all to think alike by not al- lowing any to think at all. So long as religion means the bolding or defending of certain opinions, the belief in certain views, especially regarding the dead past, the unknown future, or the mysteri- ous other world, it will be hard for the practical mind to see just what value such views might have or what, necessity, l+crsoual or social, is upon us to aid in airing then!. Even when the teachings of re- ligion have taken a more practical bearing, where the emphasis has been upon duties, upon social rela- tions or PERSONAL RIGHTNESS, while one may see the importance of right moral and ethical stand- ards, it is hard to persuade folks that there is any large value in got - ting the whole world to chant to- gether the formula that says, "Thou shalt not steal." Religion must strike deeper than this or have no power over us. In a world where sten are wishing that the days were twice as long they still find time for things that are really worth while, they are quick to recognize the value of thiugs spiritual, but it is not bard to understand their impatience with any church or system that spends time fighting over opinions when the poor, the oppressed, the reason and the punishment formeint;WORM CLOSE TO THE NOSE out to the offenders.

More fullness is in evidence in new skirts. Wide insets of !ace are seen in 1►• / gerie gowns. �-- Jewel fashions of the hour tire highly extravagant. Cotton velvets will be much used for tailor wades. Lambs' wool is largely used fur interlining coats. Cuffs for spring turn back and are slightly pointed. Good gray shades are mole, ele- phant, and Loudon smoke. Buttons still hold a high place in the trimming world. Long,transparent sleeves are worn with low necked gowns. Tunics are more seen in daytime robes than in melting ones. There is a growing tendency among brides to eliminate the face veil. Black braid trimming with side fringe is much used this season. Soutacho braiding is highly ef- fective on neckpieces and snuffs of fur. Sleeves, whether long or short, are close, and most, of thele are long. The empire style is still practi- cally imperative for the wedding gown. There is a revival of embroidered clocks and heavy crow toes on stockings. With hats, as with gowns and wraps, black is the most popular dye of the season. Fur toques and wider hats with fur crowns reign supreme in fash- ionable millinery. Jeweled girdles play a highly im- portant part in ormanenting the fine gowns of the hour. Gray shawls, soft, with deep, hand embroidered heels, are fash- ionable for matrons. Boleros are again seen in smart- est costutnes, but the new ones have long tabs at the back. Some of the latest turbans are in shapes copied front paintings of old Arabian chieftains. Nearly all muffs now have wide pockets of satin to hold purse, card case, and handkerchief. Old fashioned green is looked up- on as the color that will be most;orM fashionable in the spring. ei Loose backed coats are still fash- ionable, but now lines are being in- troduced to modify this style. Hats are so big that they not only comp to the eyebrows, but sit well down upon the back of the neck. The patch pocket, with embroi- dered monogram on the flap, is a favorite touch upon the plain shirt waist. Catawba, dregs of wine, wistaria, and amethyst are fashions !in shades, and hunters' green alit, is in demand. Some pretty combs are being shown with the tops arranged so that a ribbon eau be threaded through. The upstanding jaunty quill or feather is the only trimming real- ', permissible upon the smaller fur tuques. There is a rage for bugles as well as for sequins, and they may be had in every color suited to evening gowns. Feathery effects wrought in sou - tache are accorded a foremost plana in the work of some of the great French coettimers. 1lt.1I-'1E. S('itIBLD. "Not tieto us, but unto Thy name."—V na 1111 115.
