 On the conclusion of the reading the mod
 orator introduced the Rev. Dr. Edward B.
 Coe, of New York; who addressed the alum
 nj substantially as follows: will take the
 young man just graduating from college as
 my subject this afternoon and consider what
 should do. If he doubted the truth of tn Bible he would decide not to preach and this he ought to do This would keep young man out of the pulpit and out of the ch urch. A young man must be strong in- deed who can stem the tide of ambition flowing about and enter the ministry. He surveys the whole field and asks God to di- rect his mind He selects the profession of physician and he does right; or he may se- lect the profession of teacher or an artist. The world needs these men and ought to hold them in highest honor. Again, young man may be directed to the ministry as 8 field for good where he can lead men to noble and pure lives, and he sees no other way open to him for 8 useful life. He sees in this profession the ideal Of life and one honored and esteem ed. It requires him to give up the expecta- tion of wealth i; but this does not keep him out of the ministry. He may dread the liter ary criticism that he is to receive and the question arises can he preach what he be- iieyes to be true What he fears is not ec- clesitiascal discipline, but whether he shall be obliged to move in the theological routine or preach the sentiments he believes to be true. The questions of amusements and temper anee are considered by him and he wonders whether he is to have the same liberty that the members of the congregation possess. Another question is whether the gospel will yield him decent support. The value of l his services cannot be estimated 1 by dollars and cents: but is l it any wonder that he shrinks from profes- | sion which he knows will not yield him de- | cent support and enable him to educate his | children. These thoughts are what keep | many young men out of the ministry, and | you cannot induce them to enter upon apro- fession that involves their manhood. The | missionary is employed by the church, and is entitled to his salary as much as 8 lawyer or doctor is to his But no church has a l right to ask minister to go where it will not go itself, and has no right to ask min ister to accept salary such as they tham- selves would not accept. This is what keeps

Better than all paints and powders
for the complexion, says fashion
writer, is plain, coarse food, bran, or
oatmeal baths and the wet mask. The
last named remedy for coarse skin is
perhaps the simplest and best if one
has patience to try it. A mask of
white cotton is made to cover the face,
leaving openings for the nostrils and
eyes. Itshould be thick, of many folds,
and of some material that will retain
water. Put this on the face just before
retiring, and if possible keep it on all
night and keep 1t as wet as possible.
This wet mask keeps the air away from
the skin and give it some time to
soften. The outer cuticle wears off in
time and a fine smooth skin takes its
place, but it takes from six to eight
weeks to perform this task.
The reason the skin on the face is
oftentimes the Goa rsest of any portion
of the body is because it is more
exposed to the air, and to more sudden
changes of atmosphere. A woman who
would have very fine skin must wear a
veil most of the time, especially in this
climate. However, the skin may be
kept soft, clear and fine without veil
if proper care is taken.
Warm water is the best to wash the
hands in, but never do so just before
going out in the cold air, for such a
process roughens the skin. Every night
the whole body should be washed in
tepid water, and the face in as hot
water as can be used. The hot water
opens the pores of the skin and takes
away a great deal of the natural oil,
besides Tightening the skin, and thus
keeping it firm.
After this washing in warm water,
an application of oatmeal and water,
left on all night, softens the skin and
tends to. whiten it. A handful of
coarse oatmeal should be put on soak in
a bowl of water few hours before
useing. A bowl may last three or four
evenings. The hands should always be
washed in the oatmeal water.
Bran is arexcellent article for soften
ing and whitening the skin, and bran
bath should be taken at least once
week. Place the bran in little thin
muslin bags, and drop in the bath-tub
to soak about two hours before using.

The Open Fireplace.

If there were no other thing in the
esthetic renaissance TO be thankful for
its restoration of fireplaces to our homes
would entitle it to respectful considera-
tion. Opon fires have more than an
eSthetic influence. AS centres for the
home circle or family seml.circle that
forms them, and as dIsseminators of
cheerfulness and content, it may be
claimed that they serve an ethic pur-
pose. The swapping, fragrant back log,
or the genial glow of camel coal, maptl-
ed in limpid flames of blue, dispose one
to profitable reflections, to generous and
sympathetic feelings, and to placidiUy
OF mind that was for time supposed
by the rushing public of the nineteenth
century to be one of the lost arts.
Classy furnaces, cast iron stoves, and
such poor pretexts as kerosene and gas
radiators can never impart more than
physical warmth, Mentae caloric and
those airy fancies, delicate as the flames
that give them cause, are not evolved
by hugging stoves and sitting over
registers. The cheerful effect of visible
fire gives it decorative value, and it is
doubtless for this reason that appro-
pirate settings for irons and CRATES have
recently invited the attention of archi-
tects and designers. Fires were almost
the sole decorations, if they may be so
regarded, Of early settlers homes in
this country, and many an old farmhous
would be dismal enough to-day, but for
its cosy hearth, the focus of family
heart warmth. Yet a certain severe
beauty was seen in many of these fire.
places of yore, and such beauty as they
possessed is very justly perpetnated.
Their brass furnishing was more taste
full concession to the appropriate than
might have been looked for among the
early New Englanders, for brass ap
proximates more nearly to flame, in
color and brightness than any other
metal. The glitter of the flames was
cheerfully repeated also in rows of
pictured tile, the religious austerity of
whose designs was odd when seen in
contrast with rousing fire that ought
to melt austerity out of any company.
Even when it flashes from a rude
cavern of brick and mortar, fire may
be regarded as the eye of an apartment,
giving cheer and animation to what
might else be cold and lifeless. 1t
naturally attacts the human eye, and is
therefore fitting spot about which to
group objects of attractiveness and
beauty. Antiquity of decoration is not
amiss, so the designs be cheerful, but
let not admiration for antiquity betay
us into admiring antiquity for its own
sake. Select what is beautiful and use
full in it, for catholic spirit is the
spirit of the time, but do not, as one
house owner Of my acquaintance has
done, hang the ancestral pots and ket-
ties upon a crane over the drawing
room fire, showing them complacently
to visitors as things to respect.

A United States Senator who is fond
of joke had been initiated into the
mysteries of an alleged caramel, which
one of the boys of his hotel had invent
ed for the purpose of making miserable
the lives of other children. The
Senator owed Garland, of Arkansas,
one, and saw his opportunity. He pro-
cured some of the alleged sweets and
placed them carefully on his desk. The
game succeeded. Garland spied the
deceptive chocolates, and, carelessly
sauntering by, picked up one of them
and said: "What are these, Senator?n
"They are caramels. Take one."
Thank you, WILL" and he took one,
Now, the caramel was filed with soap,
and the jokers expected to see Garland
spit out the nauseous stuff. That was
where the laugh was to come In. But
Garland disappointed them. He ate up
the whole thing, soap and all, and
never made sign. The perpetrator
became frightened and ran out into the
cloakroom, exclaimed: ''Good Lordl
Pm afraid the mans poisoned.n "Oh,
you needn't be alarmed" +" said Butler,
Of South Carolina: "Garland's got an
Arkansas stomach" To this day no
one knows whether Garland tasted the
soap or not,

Many dangers beset people in great
city. Last year twenty-five persons
were killed, fifty-three seriously injured
and fifty-one slightly injured by run
over accidents alone in New York city.
Strangely enough the elevated rail
roads are responsible for more than
their share of these accidents. There
were only two persons killed by
street. cars Surface roads) and five on
steam railroads, while there were eight
killed on elevated roads. OF the fifty
one slightly-injured persons, thirty-n
were hurt on the elevated roads. The
proportion of accidents, however, was
quite small-sixty-one passengers being
injured OF killed out of 100000 car.
ried on the roads. A few of these art
to be ascribed to the carelessness OF
negligence of the railroad employees
but the greater number were caused b,
the foolhardiness of the victims them
selves.

UNBELIEF.

There is no unbelief;
Whoever plants a seed beneath the sod
And waits to see II push away the clod,
He trusts in God.
Whoever says, when clouds are In the sky
"Be patient, heart; light breaketh by-and
by"
Trusts the Most High.
Whoever sees, meath winters field of snow
The silent harvest of the future grow,
Gods power must know.
Whoever lies down on his couch to sleep,
Content to lock each sense in slumber deep
Knows God will keep.
Whoever says, "To-morrow, "The Un

He dares disown.

Let us now cross the line and stel
down among the great mass of human
ity, of which society" forms such {
small though self-sufficient part. Cali
fornia is a paradise for the laboring a!
well as for the lazy-it might he sale
ior the poor as well as for the rich, if il
were not that poverty, unless it b
voluntary, is unknown. Intemperance
if it NAV so be called has taken steI
upward toward temperance in Sar
Francisco; and it is gratifying for the
philanthroplst if not for the fanatic, tC
notice that the people are beginning to
forsake villainous whisky for their own
product of the vine. At places Of
popular resort on the bay and at the
seashore, wine and beer gardens prevail,
while whisky is in comparative moder-
ate request. Sunday is quiet day in
San Francisco. Its quiet is not puri-
tanical, while church-going in the
morning is as common as in New
England city. The forenoons may be
said to be American and the afternoons
French or German. 1t is then that the
whole population of all classes, satisfied
with having done its duty, seems bent
upon taking its reward. The fayorite
drive is to the park, about four miles
from the business part of the town.
Out Of Difference to habit of calling
things by their wrong names the bushes
shall be called trees, although one
is forced to lie down to get in their
shade. But it is something whereof to
boast, that this shrubbery has been
made to grow upon barren, sandy soil,
improved by irrigation and transporta-
tlon of loan. If the tall elms and
outrageous oaks of Central Park are
wanting, the perennial floral display is
an ample compensation. When the
railroad to the Cliff on the seashore is
completed, as it will be in a few weeks,
another easy and cheap excursion will
be added to the many that already
abound. Fifteen cents is all the sum

mile stretch, and five for the return.
As we went with the crowd one Sunday
afternoon on an open side-banked car, a
poor italian with his wife and four
children got on at crossing. The
whole group were in gala dress, their
faces clothed with radiant smiles as
they chartered like parrots and broke
out into song like nightingales. They
threw light upon the whole car load,
and in their happiness every one of us
became joyful. The car stopped at the
next crossing to take on another poor
man whose sad countenance denoted
misery. The little Italians ceased their
mirth and looked upon him with pity,
and the sun seemed to set upon us all.
So we rode on for few blocks till the
car stopped again and the wretched
millionaire alighted, and hmped to the
gate leaning to his stately abode. Then
the cloud lifted, the little choristers
again took up their song, all were
merry once more, and no one who had
ten cents in his pocket cared to be rich.

In making roosts for fowls let them

arranged as to have some of them high
aud others low, the fowls will crowd to-
gether on the higher perches, leaving
