Free from all the disagreeable greasy efl'ects that result from the
use of lard will be had, if COTTOLENE is used. Fish and
cakes .fried in it are simply delicious because it adds a flavor to
them that cannot possibly be obtained from the use of any other

MODERN GOTHIC HOUSES-

Old Trinity Church “fee the First Gothic
Structure in the United States.
(Copyright 1895 by the Co- operative Building

lan Association, N. Y.)-

During medieval times in Europe the
vast mass of the people, the peasantry.
lived in rude hovels, while the aristoc-
racy built itself castles, and the Church.
sharing the power and the riches of the
State, and levying contributions alike on
noble and peasant, reared monasteries
and cathedrals that are still regarded as
triumphs of architecture. But with the
breaking of feudal fetters and the great
growth in power of the people, the
dwellings of the private citizens, the
homes of the land. became the object of
architectural care and consideration.

ARCH 1T COT: N. Y.‘

The Gothic, or pointed £1.an Grecian,
01' horizontal, are really the foundations
of all styles of architecture; when we
speak of buildings being Swiss, Italian
or Gothic, 01' any of the numerous well
known styles, we mean that the spirit
of a particular class has been seized
upon, and not that there has been a
slavish imitation of distinguishing pe-
culiarities. One of the most interest-
ing of all of the styles is the Gothic.

Appropriately enough, the first Gothic
building erected in the United States
was achurch—famous Trinity Church,
New York—built in 1840. Since then
it has been the prevalentstyle for church
architecture.

The design illustrating this article is
a modified Gothic and adetailed descrip-
tion of it is as follows.

cluding veranda and parlor bay, 54 ft. 2

THE FRIEND OF THE JUDGE.

And Incidentally of Very Much More
Than Half the Lawyers. ‘

“One time when I and some other
lawyers were engaged in defending a
prisoner charged with murder,” said
the veteran Thomas S. Gratty “Judge
Shope was among those employed 0n the
side of the prosecution. We made a
vigorous eflort to get our man’s head
away from the halter, and our chances
seemed fair enough until Shope addressed
the jury.

“He didn’t seem to 'make much of. an
impression at first; they listened rather
coolly and indifferently to his argu-
ments, but all at once a circumstance
arose that somehow tmned things 1n his
favor.

“While h_e was speaking a messenger
boy entered the court 1'.oom11d handed
himatelegram,whicl1_ still continuing
his address to the jury he mechanical-
ly, as it were, to1e open. Suddenly, as
he glanced at the message. his eyes di-
lated and stared intently 011 the words
before him. Then his voi e faltered and
broke, his b1eath came and went in
short gasps, his chest hes wet and fell
with deep emotion‘ .—. 11d, turning his tear-
ful eyes on the jury, he said in almost
sobbing tones:

“ ‘Excuse me, gentlemen: I fear I can-
not go on with mv “110.1035 I have just
received the mourn ful new 5 of the death
of a dear friend. one 1. 110 has been of
most material bener fit to me in my p10-
fession, and whose demise leaves a. s01-
row ful gap that none (( 11 e1. e1 fill. Ex-
cuse me, I beg of you: I am utterly 11n-.
nerved and broken down at this sad
calamity.’

“Some members of t to jury lespect-
fully expressed their 1.? met and kindly
urged him to continue his add1ess, and
heo did so. The result was, .5i1', that he

won the entire sympathy of that jury,’

and they leturned a verdict of guilty
against my unfortunate client, who was
consequently sent to the penitentiary for
life.

“When the trial was over somebody
picked up the telegram that had so op-
portunely come into the hands of the
able advocate, and through which he so
successfully wrought upon the feelings
of the jury. It simply contained the
favorite expression of a character in one
of Charles Reade’s novels, the old sol—
dier in ‘The Cloister and the Hearth,’
which expression is, ‘Have courage,
friend; the devil is dead.’ ”—Chicago
Inter-Ocean.

He Wouldn’t Have to Blow Out the Gas.

I was sharing my seat with a farmer-
looking man about fifty years old, and
when we were within ten miles of Phil-
adelphia. he queried:

“Be you going to stop at a tavern in
town?”

“Yes.”

“Some tavern where they use gas?”

“Yes.”

“Do you know how to turn the blamed
thing 0132' when you go to bed?”

“I have done it several times.
you know how?”

For reply he reached down into his
satchel and brought up six tallow can-
dles and a blue box of sulphur matches,
and displayed them on his knee.

“What are these for?” I asked.

“I’m also goin’ to stop at a tavern
where they use gas.”

“Yes.”

“A bets B a two-year-old steer ag’in
a last spring’s lamb that I blow out the
gas and am found dead in the mornin’.
See? A is goin’ to git swiped! ‘Ha! ha!
ha!”

“I see. You will use the candles in
place of the gas?"

“Exactly.”

“How did you happen to think of it?”

“Waal, I’m nacherally purty cute on
own account, and then I belong to a
fam'ly which has lost five members by
blowin’ out the gas at difierent taverns.
Nuthin’ dangerous about taller. When
she’s blowed, she’s blowed, and that ends
it. Hayseed in my hair and turnip-tops
a-stickin’ out of my coat-tail pockets,
but I don’t blow out no gas on this trip
—not if my name is Joshua H. Sander-
son, and I guess she is!”———Detr0it Free
Press.

Don’t

The Making of a Hero.

As she came out from the dining room
the mother picked up an orange, and
was leisurely peeling it as she chatted
with friends.

The little fellow had his eye upon it in
a longing way, and it was evident that
his mouth was fairly watering for a. bit,
but he never said a word. His mother,
as she tore 01f the peel, would hand them
to him, and tell him to go and put them
in a waste basket just across the hall.
Wit-h unsteady baby steps he made the
trip several times until the orange was
entirely peeled. Then he came and
stood by his mother’s chair, and, with
glistening eyes, waited for his re-
ward.

Slowly she tore ed a piece of the or‘
ange and handed it to him. He clutch-
ed it tightly in his chubby fingers and
his eyes expressed mute thanks. Just
as he was about to take a. bite, a. gleam
of mischief came into the mother’s. She
said:

“No! no! put it in the basket.”

The child slowly lowered the orange.
A look of puzzled wonder came over the
child’s face, but not a word came from
the baby lips. Without hesitation he
turned and tottled over to the basket
and dropped the piece in, and then re-
turned to his mother’s side.

She caught him up in her arms, and
those with her excused her enthusiasm
when she said:

“Mamma’ s own little Casabianca.”

He got all that was left of the or-
ange.

IN AND OUT 01' DOORS

'rwo SUITS THAT ARE SEASONABLE
JUST NOW.

In Paris the Skirts are Narrowing to Eight
Yards Around. Blue in All Shades is
Popular, but Royal Purple is Fashion-
able.

Some one has said that in the house a
woman should wear colors to match her
eyes, but upon the street colors to match
her hair. The first gown shown is,
therefore, particularly suited to blue
eyed women for housewear. The
sleeves, and much of its entire bodice,
are of hyacinth blue satin, which serves
to bring out to good advantage all the
azure within range. The skirt and
over-bodice of the gown are of cream-
colored canvas crepe. This over-bodice
is, perhaps, the most distinctive thing
about the costume. It curves about the
shoulders not unlike an apron-bib, leav-
ing the satin to show above it yoke
fashion.

The satin also shows in drooping folds
between the slashes of the lower part of
the over-bodice. These slashes are laced
zcross with heavy cream-colored cord.
the sleeves consist ofa 'tbig pufi to the
elbow, the French fashion of elbow
sleeves having gradually gained favor
elsewhere.

The choker collar rises high and
plain from the satin yoke, being of the
same material. The belt is of the
cream-colored canvas crepe, and the
godet skirt hangs full and untrimmed.

A gown is of the outing variety and
has adistinctly nautical cut and finish.
It is of white serge, with row upon row
of narrow blue braid as trimming. The
braid, half a dozen deep, bands the lower
edge of the skirt. It also appears upon
the belt, the cuffs, the choker collar
and the surplice-like insertion at the
throat, and is around the edge of the
sailor collar. It likewise outlines the
bodice-darts in a novel and graceful
fashion. This bodice, by the way, is
noticeable for not conforming to the
customary blouse shape. It fits snugly
to the figure, being almost double-
breasted in front, and tucks under the
belt at the waist line. The sleeve puffs
terminate at the elbow. The hat worn
vith this suit is of mixed blue and
white straw with a blue band.

 

If the newest Paris gowns are any in-
dication of future fashibn, there seems
to be no likelihood of the dress "skirt di-
minishing in width. Eight yards round
has become a. by no means surprising
measurement, and many of the latest
developments think nothing of nine and
ten yards circumference.

Blue in all shades is popular just
now. Beside the craze for cornflower,
there is great demand for hyacinth blue,
forgetrme-not blue, and. lastly, “Al-
exandra blue,” which really resembles
royal purple much more than azure of
any shade. It 18, however, an excellent
color by candle light, and is used not
only for entire gowns, but also for trim-
mings, especially with pink.

Never has there been a more economi-
cal fashion than the Puritan, sailor and
other collars that are at present in such
spreading evidence upon every woman's
shoulders. They transform many an ill-
made or old-fashioned bodice, and make
it possible for the same gown to appear
wholly difierent upon diflerent occa-
sions.

A Martyr to Heredity.

“You have twice told me,” said the
benevdlent Atlanta man to the wooden-
legged mendicant, “that your leg was
lost ’11 the war ”

“Yes, sir.”

“Now, I am sure you were too young
to enlist at that time!”

“Well, sir, I can’t deceive you; you
are right. It was my father who lost a
leg in the war, and the blamed thing
runs in the blood. I simply inherit it.
I am a wounded veteran‘by birth!”—
Atlanta Constitution.
