The new Methodist Episcopal Church, of
Hammond, Ind, will be dedicated by DIR.
Stowe, Aug. 26 This is the first and only
English Protestant church in this town. The
size OF the building is 40x60 Gothic in style
and finish, and it will cost So, 900. This town
is on the Illinois State line, is but three years
old, and has now 5000 inhabitants. The
work OF building was commenced about
year ago. Rev. William Crapp is pastor.
Bersier the great French Protestant
preacher, in a sermon on Mark x, $3.50, en-
titled Sacrifice and recompense," comments
with great force on the meaning of the para

hour men with those who have borne toe
burden and the heat of the day. Heaven"
he says, is open to all who repent but it is
not purchasabie possession, for which any
one can pay. Christ condemns interested
piety, which seeks not to be obedient but
to get reward for obeying." He proceeds
to remind us that we err and twist the truth
when we teach, Suffer in this world, in
der not to suffer in the next. Expiate in
time, that you may not eXpiate in eternity"
. The thrust is at Romanism, but the lesson is
for all Christians. Beware of an effort to
earn; take care to be such as Christ takes into
the kingdom Of heaven.
The Archbishop of Canterbury advocates
the revival of an order in the English Church
corresponding in many respects to the
Preaching Friars. When he was Bishop of
Truro he attached to his cathedral staff one
or Two clergymen who were to devote them
selves exclusively to evangelistc work. He
was greatly impressed with the practical re-
suits of this interesting experiment. and at a
conference of influential churchmen, held a
fortnight ago in Lord Granville's drawing
room, recommended the extension of the
system to other dioceses His plan is to
have small body of effective and earnest
preachers detailed for the special work of
home missions in a diocese. Being released
from ordinary parochial duty, they can de-
vote their energies wholly to the business of
preaching with view to making more
definite impression upon sluggish commun-
tiles

The Economical Side of ElOpements In In

Louisville Courier-Journal.
That's all bosh," remarked wellknown
physician to Courier-Journalist, yesterday,
as he threw down paper containing an ac-
count of a runaway i'll which the daughter
of a local politician figured as the heroine
Whats bosh, Doctor?' asked the reporter,
on the lookout for a possible item.
why, this runaway match which you
have just published. That girls father is
sharp man. but this is one of the sharpest
tricks he has ever played since l knew him.
That elopement was all sham. It's as sim
pie as can be. The girls father is one of the
best-known men in this section of the town.
and is a politician besides. He has, necessa-
rily, very large acquaintance among the
element who are always expecting
him to stand treat upon the slightest
pretext, and, what with this and
the wedding festvities-supper and
other etceteras-his daughters marriage, if
solemnized in the ordinary manner, would
have cost him great deal of money. An
elopement saved all of this, so he Just op-
posed his daughters wishes strongly enough
to give pretext to the two to run over to
Jacksonville, where the expenses of the
wedding, all told, didn't amount to more
than So or $40. There were no fine dresses,
flowers, gifts, or anything of that sort, and
when they returned home they had chance
to go to housekeeping quietly and unosten-
tatiously. 1t was shrewd plan and a sensi-
BILE one for all parties concerned.
~ have known a number of runaway
matches which had no other reason than
economy Parents relatives and all were
willing for the young people to commit mat
rimony, but the expense was a serious con-
sideraton, and a little timely opposition,
which caused an elopement smoothed out
the crooked channel in which the course of
true love was running. The cost of the we'd
ding was saved for housekeeping, the young
couple were forgiven. and all went on as mer-
rily as if there had been any amount OF
marrage-bells ringing"
an what classes of society do such mar
riages oftenest occur?'
Generally in the middle classes, those
who are only moderately well-to-do and who
yet want to keep up appearances. The very
poor and the extremely rich are never troub-
led by such considerations, but the poor and
proud often make use of this stratagem.
I've known of some very aristocratic couples
starting out on their matrimonial journey
with an elopement which was caused by
nothing on earth save a want of funds These
fashionable weddings cost large sums"
Are the young people ever into this Sc
cret?"
Sometimes but not often. Generally they
are innocent parties to the deception. THIS
is a new way to look at an elopement, and il
knocks out all the romance, but it's the real
explanation of good many, as | know from
personal observation"

Cape May Letter in Atlanta Constitution.
l am far from denying that a certain
plumpness is desirable when one goes to the
coast. Nowhere, perhaps does it count for
so much. But the prettest sight have seen
this summer was slender young woman in
the surf She was excessively thin and of
medium height. Her bathing suit was of
light material and of the usual blue, and
loosely knotted with a broad sash about a
waist that two hands might span. Her arms
were bare to the shoulder, and her swan-like
neck cleaned through bright-colored hand
kerchief. The modulations of her figure
were exquisite, and so light was her step
that her little feet scarcely seemed to touch
the crisp sand as she walked to meet the
waves. Not more gracefully did they curl
and splash and break and push about her
ankles than she did with girlish indecision
falter from the shore.
At last a breaker lifts its crest from the
heaving bosom of the sea, and, arching itself
imperiously, comes rushing toward her,
cracking and kissing as the sun and wind
smte its snow-white name. She sees it,
stoops almost in the shadow of the high
reaching cloud of foam, hastily vets her face
and throat, and with a slight SILVER surren-
ders herself to the strong arms that shall be
her encircling bulwark. Up she goes as the
breaker catches her. a mere swans feather
in the tempest, her face white and her form
rigid. For an instant there is a binding
roar, rush and blotting out of sky and
shore and sun-and then the breaker has
gone laundering up the beach. And there
she lies, in the quivering trough of the sea
"a white lily, plant and beautiful floating
on the green water-with auroral pinks
kindling in her pallid cheeks, her lips parted
with quickened breath and her eyes moist
with a new and thrilling emotion. She is
beyond the breakers and close to the heart
of the ocean

The seal p torn from the head of the great
chief Yellow Hand by Buffalo Bill was
shown to party of visitors from Hartford.
The hair is long and soft, and was braided
like the queue of Chinaman. One of Bills
comrades told the story of the scalping: at
was Just after the massacre of Custer" he
said. BILL was with General Miles at the
head of the scouts. They were irving to cut
off Yellow Hard from Sitting Bull. Early
in the morning Yellow Hand rode up at the
head of war party and challeged Bill to an
open combat. General Miles and others tried
to dissuade Bill from accepting the challenge.
He replied that a refusal to accept it would
ruin his prestige among the savages, and that
was something he could not afford to lose.
He told Yellow Hand that he would fight
him. The TWO armies we're ranged less than a
mile apart. Six mounted scouts accompanied
Bill and six mounted Brule Sioux rode for
ward with Yellow Hand. They were to
open the fight on horseback with rifles.
Their escorts drew aside, and the combatants
dashed forward. Yellow Hand began to spin
around Bill in a circle, and Bill began to cir
culate on a circle himself. Around and
around they went like swallows in the air.
Both white men and savages were eager
spectators. Each combatant had his leg over
his horses fore shoulder, and each was swing
ing head downward, awaiting an opportunity
for fatal shot. They fired so close together
that it sounded like the crack of one rifle In
a twinkling both horses were biting the dust
Bill was as spry as cat. He was on his feet
before his horse struck the ground Yellow
Hand was partly pinned to the earth by the
weight of his pony. The two men were
not over seventy feet apart. Before the
chief could extricate himself Bill had shot
him through the body. 1t was however, a
flesh wound. Yellow Hand gained his feet.

Thanks for Thorns.

Western Christian Advocate.
As children of the Lord we cannot be too
thankful for the sharp piercing of thorns
that wound our feet at the smallest stepping
aside from the pleasant but narrow way that
leadeth unto everlasting life. The purer the
soul the more severe is the suffering from re-
pentance for the smallest sin, and from re-
gret for mistakes in conduct that may have
to some degree the effect of misdeeds. This
pain is Gods angel to drive us to the cross
for healing through its atoninga and cleans
ing blood

Pussy and the Parrot.



Gautier, French writer had cat who
was accustomed to live in perfect intimacy
with him, sleeping at his feet on his bed
dreaming on the arm of his easy chair while
he was writing, following him in his garden
as he walked up and down the long avenues
keeping him company at meals, and not un-
frequently intercepting the morsel on the
road between the plate and the lips
One fine day, friend setting out on his
travels left his parrot in his charge during
his absence. The poor bird sat disconsolate
on the top of his stand, while the cat stared
at the strange sight, and tried to gather up
all the strays and waits of natural history
which she might have picked up on the roof,
or in the yard and the garden.
Gautier followed her thoughts, in her
large green eyes, and read there clearly the
words, at must be a green chickenl'
