The Baptist Church at Scotch

centennial of its founding.
MIR. Spurgeon has received a
legacy for his orphanage of $4,000
from gentleman who recently died in
New Jersey, the first ever sent him
from this country.
All the Lutheran churches of the
South were consolidated into one at

The Methodists in the West Indies
are celebrating their centennial. DR..
Coke, with three missionaries, landed
at ST. Johns Antigua, December 25,
1875, and there was established the
first Wesleyan mission in the West
Indies.
DR.. Deems, the venerable pastor of
the Church of the Strangers, in New
York, has strong convictions upon the
subject of closed churches, and ex-
presses them very frankly. He keeps
his church open all the year round, and
always has a congregation.
-'My brethren" said pious rabbi.
''the preaching of the Torah to some

The stealing of two clocks from

The Chief Inspector of Schools at

forbidding girls frequenting the gym

the parents of the girls are said to be

The Church Army is an evangel-

army has concluded to extend its oper-

will adopt the native costume. 1t is

adopt the native speech.

The Latest Styles in Toilet Accessories

The Latest Styles in Toilet Accessories
Millinery and Young Ladies' Costumes.
All sleeves are now very muck
trimmed in the upper part and quite
plain downward from the elbow.
Among the accessories of the toilet
which freshen and brighten it up we
have for the couture the new fashion OF
small circles of white or colored silk
tulle twisted round like a miniature
turban, fastened by a jewel, and from
the middle of which springs an aigrette
of flowers or feathers. Young ladies
also wear this small tulle puff with
flowers or some fancy jewel in the
middle; but young married ladies
eagerly seize this opportunity of eXhb-
ing some diamond brooch representing
a flower. bird or butterfly.
The first arrivals of fine millinery
goods for autumn show but little
change in the shapes of small bonnets.
The favorite large hat, called the "Cav-
alier," has a high, rather tapering
crown and a wide brim, nearly straight
on one side and quite closely rolled on
the other. The front of the brim is of
medium width, but in the back it is
very narrow, and in some shapes it is
turned closely up against the crown.
The following Is u pretty model for
young lady's autumn dress: 1t is of
plain indigo-blue cashmere, and the
same material brocaded all over with
very small bright yellow crescents.
The bodice, which is quite close-ftting,
of the plain cashmere, forms three
small fiat plaits on each side, while
the center part is of the brocaded ma
terial, Stimulating plastron or plain
vest, buttoned with small round but
tons of dark-blue passementrie and
finished into point. At the back the
bodice is continued into small pulled
out position basque, which rests upon
the draped tournure of the skirt. This
skirt is of the dark-blue cashmere,
draped diagonally in front, with tabs
or panels of the brocaded material on
each side, and narrow fluting of the
sanee showing just beyond the edge.
The sleeves of the plain cashmere have,
according to the new fashion, no fac
ing or revers of any kind in the lower
part, but a peaked trimming of the
brocadcd tissue from the shoulder
down nearly to the elbow.-M Y.

= DANGERS OF DUST.


New Theory Concerning the Mode in Which
Diseases Can BE Caught.
Darkness, damp and dust are potent
agencies of disease. Everybody recog-
nizes this; but how many fail to adopt
its precepts! If there be sermons in
stones, surely the summer dust and its
dangers would prove fruitful subject
for medical discourse. There is as
great difference between London and
country dust as there is between the
corresponding muds. Pulverized mat
ter would be harmless enough if it were
deprived of its physical property of
ready diffusion. The atmosphere is
laden and swarms with participate
matter of highly complex nature. Its
chief peril to living beings resides in
the organic constituents. Largely this
organic materi& consists of minute
forms of life in a state of latency, only
waiting for spell of heat and moisture
and favorable amount of light, or it
may be darkness, to awaken it into ac-
tivity. The habits of individuals in
every class of society, including the
masses, are not calculated to diminish,
but rather to augment, the amount of
organic matter in our atmosphere.
Mucus, saliva and humor, popularity
known as matter, must be discharged
from the mouth and nostrils to the
extent of many gallons daily and not a
little of this comes from infective
sources; while we venture TO think that
the bulk of it mingles with the dust Of
our streets and courts. If, as seems
not unlikely, consumption is largely
caused by ''germs," then very ready
theory may be advocated concerning the
mode in which the contagium is caught.
Who can estimate the amount of mis-
chief that the shaking of mats may have
caused? How many young girls early
in the morning on their way to business
have, so to speak, received their death
blow while inspiring, all unconscious of
harm, some of the clouds of dust that
always greet them? Who can tell? The
abatement of this danger and nuisance
is difficulty that almost seems insur.
mountable. Much may be done by per-
sonai habits of prevention
