row plaitings around the edge and a large
bow and steel ornament combining a long
feathe which falls over the back of the hair.
Little girls also wear bonnets with the
rolled front lined with deeply-shirred satin,
but these are less suitable as the sun becomes
stronger, and we advise all mothers to select
shady hats for the sake of the eyes. The
Jersey waist is more popular than ever. 1t
is worn in bright coiors and is equally effect
i've with a skirt of plain material or of plaid.
For little boys. plaid tunics are much liked,
or killed skirt of dark plaid is accompanied
by a short tabled jacket OF dark green or
dark blue cloth. Flannel suits for hoys are
now more often in invisible green than in
the dark bl1e which has been popular so
long. Knickerbocker suits of mixed mate
rails are finished off with fine, narrow, mo-
hair braids down the trousers, and small but
tons. The coatee has side pockets, bound in
braid of the same kind. Velveteen is much
less worn this season, tweeds, fine checks,
cheviot cloths and kersemeres being pre-
ferred. Flannel suits for little girls and
misses are made Of fine cheviot flannel and
are either in garnet or dark greens; blues,
either light or dark, are less fashionable,
while gray flannel is only made up In COM
bination with darker shades of tine same
material. Stockings to match the combna-
ton dresses are selected to correspond with
the selfcolored material rather than with
the plaid, and are worn of delicate shades.

Character in the Family Circle.

Home life is the sure test of character
Let husband be cross and surly, and the
wife grows cold and unamiable. The child
rem grow up saucy and savage as young
bears. The father becomes callous, peevish,
and hard. The wife bristles In self-defense.
They develop an unnatural growth and
sharpness of teeth, and the house is haunted
by ugl1ness and domestic brawls. This is
not what the family circle should be. If
rude to any, let it be to some one he does not
love-not to wife, brother or parent. Let
one OF the loved ones be taken away. and
memory recalls thousand sayings to regret.
Death quickens recollection painfully. The
grave cannot hide the white faces of those
who sleep. The coffin and green ground are
cruel magnets They draw us further than
We would go. They force us to remember.
A man never sees so far into human life as
when he looks over a wife's or mothers
grave. His eyes get wondrous clear then,
and he sees as never before what it is to love
and be loved what it is to injure the feelings
of the loved. 1t is a pitiable picture of
human weakness when those we love best
are treated worst.

The Newark Conference witnessed an I'M
usuel scene on the evening of Monday, April
q Bishop Foss had called the seventh ques-
ton: "Who are received on credentials
from other churches?' In response the ere
dentials of the Rev. William H. Rogers, Of
the African Methodist Episcopal Church,
were presented, and Immediately afterward
those of the Rev. DR.. Henderson, of
the Methodist Episcopal Church South.
The Bishop said he would request the
brethren to come forward, in order that they
might be examined as to their willingness to
usages. Down one aisle of the long church
came a tall, stout, well formed. and fine
looking man, in color of the densest black,
while down the other came short and
slight y-built white man, an ex-colonel in
the Confederate army; and the two meeting
al the altar, stood side by side, amid the APP
plause of the conference and the large con-
gregaton which crowded the church, and
together expressed their allegiance to the
government and usages of our church. This
remarkable occurrence illustrates two or
three things: /. The established fact of fra
ternity between our church ana lhe church
South. A crowded conference of our church
opens its doors heartily to preacher from
the church South who comes to fill leading
appointment, 3 The full equality OF colored
men and white men in our ministry. 3. The

And within the year the hehens grew

Safe kept in memorys shrine.

Terre- Gotta Lumber.

Philadelphia Record,
A comparatively new industry is that of
the manufacture of terra-cotta lumber, now
carried on near Perth Amboy, N j. The
lumber is made of two parts of sawdust to
one of clay. The clays used are the dark
coored, rich and highly tenacious ones that
overlie the white fre-clays. They must be
free from coarse sand or grit, but fine sand is
not Objectionable. Spruce sawdust is used.
The constituents are thoroughly mixed in
circular wheel-pits by means OF wheels
armed with rotating knives traversing the
mass somew hat as in the common brick wheel
pit As little water as possible is put in.
The prepared mass is carried by elevators
from the grinding floor to the top floor,
where it is pressed by powerful steam-pr
into rectangular blocks convenient
for Sitting and cutting into the ordinary
sizes for tiles and blocks. The blocks come
from the press on the second floor, are there
dried by artificial heat, and are then burned
in circular kilns with fiat domical tops and
down iraught. The firing is coal, but with
increased neat the sawdust burns and carries
the baking to an end. The time for burning
varies from thirty-six to forty-ive hours.
Each kiln holds about thirty tons. The
product, which is straw-colore3, is slit by
circular saws into tiles or cut into shapes for
floors ceilings. walls, etc. The material is

A Marvel in Millinery.
New York Evening Post.

New York Evening Post.
A wonderful dress, made in London, de-
serves special notice. The back consists of
black gauze, very soft of texture, it'll floral
figures in satin varying it's surface. The
side breadths are of the same material, but
while at the back it is draped over black
silk, here it is rendered light in effect by be-
ing arranged over feecy white Grape. On the
right side of the front the gauze contrasts
with the left side, which is composed of
white Grape running diagonally up the front
and wrought with marvelously ex-
ecuted embroidery in Egyptian col
ors. The design is in blossoms
resembling carnations, and the colors in
which they are worked are primrose, dark
scrimson, steel and gold, and thousands OF
tiny sequins form a glittering phalanx just
within the border line of the embroidery. A
large square pocket of the antique shape
known as gypclere is covered with this cum
ming work OF the embroderer's craft. The
bottom of the skirt is trimmed with plaits of
pale, greenish-blue satin, the reverse side of
which is a warm shade of salmon pink. A
little of this blue is introduced low down the
back of the skirt. The bodice, consistently
with the skirt, of black gauze, lined with
black at the back, and, to correspond with
the sides of the dress, the sleeves are lined
with white Grape. The front of the bodice is
of white Grape, embroidered in oriental
colors.

MUCH BEHIND THE TIMES.
An Old Lady of Georgia Who Wants Her
Slaves Back.

Slaves Back.
Athens (Ga) Banner.
Judge Cobb found it necessary, on We'd
nesday last, to prove the identity OF one of
tine illegal voters by an old lady of the city
named Mrs Ogesby, who was once the
owner of a number of slaves, but is now in
very reduced circumstances. Judge Cobb
explained that he would not detain the lady
long, and asked if she knew the prisoner,
pointing to a negro man.

ply, 'for didn't raise him, and he b'longs
to me right this mint. I've got his name
and age sot down in my Bible, and

ought to be right now at work in my

stealing body's property is a shame, and
do hope that you will give them back to me.

Mrs. Oglesby to identify the parties and that
his jurisdiction extended no further, as they
were now free.
