What the Tillman Movement Means.

To the Editor OF The NeacS and
Courier: At the proper time I will
trv to give some good reasons for
the establishment of an agricultural
college and the enlargement Of the
board of agriculture; now | only
want to tell some plain truths about
the man who advocates these meas
ures.
We might expect politicians and
demagogus TO oppose the Tillman or
FARMERS movement and some news

farmers themselves, is strange, pass

Use OF COlOred Glass.

I asked Mr.. Mitchell, manager of the
Tiffany Glass Company, to what he at
tributed the recent marked developments
in the use of colored glass. "There are
several causes" he replied. 1.-THE Cen
tennial Exhibition gave an impetus to
everything pertaining to art, and no form
benefited more than that which employs
colored glass. 1t has been found that
not only is it beautiful and useful for
home decoration, but that it is an art
especially adapted to the preservation Of
memorials. While glass is one of the
most fragile of substances it has proved
to be one of the most enduring. Glass
of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries
exists to- day 10 as perfect condition, as
to color, design and inscriptions, as
when it was first made Marble and
granite have been the materials most en-
ployed heretofore in memorials of the
dead or of great events. The tendency
now is to use colored glasses more large
ly for such purposes, and to decorate our
churches rather than our cemeteries.
Memorials are, moreover, properly asso-
ciated with religious sentiments; and
this natural association is finding express
sion in this form of church decoration.
A memorial window in church or Ca
thedral serves at once to keep alive the
memory of the dead, to express the graf
itude of the donors to the church, and to
offer in some suitable inscription the con-
solutions of religion to those who
mourn. "-Aeao York Tribune.

Losing Control of the Nerves.

"Riding last fall on a crowded train,
said Chicago physician, II noticed a
young fellow, handsome, dashing, and
reckless, who was indulging in all sorts
of daredevil capers on the platform. He
seemed to have most perfect control OF
his nerves. He would lean out from the
car, standing on the platform steps, stoop
to grab at the flowers and shrubs along
the line, as though he took delight in
frightening the ladies Tho were protest
ing against his movements. He gave no
attention at all to the warnings of the
railroad men, leaning out even as one
spoke sharply to him, with look Of
smiling incredulity on his face. The
train was flying by switch, and the
signal piece of the switch beam or lever
struck the man fair on the cheek. 1t was
terrible blow and it left a terrible
wound. My bold, reckless, daring man
was on the instant as neryeless as fright
ened girl. 1t required the quick use of
-estoratives and the most careful treat
ment to have him rally, and he was for
weeks the most Respondent, discouraged
invalid that l have ever been called upon
to treat"
''Per contra" said a young fellow who
had listened with great attention to this
story, ''there is my wife. She is the most
nervous, excitable little piece of human
ity that you will find anywhere. A
caterpillar will brighten her off of the
sidewalk and mouse or rat will give
her more trouble and misery than wild
lion would me. The other day We were

Is great demand, both in America and
Europe. 1t is especially priced for the
choice inlaid cabinet work that comes
from artistic hands, but is used princi-

packed in eases of about 800 pounds
each. The fishermen think more OF OBJ
tanning shell than pearls, while the island
ers care nothing for shell, and solely
seek the pearls. The best pearls are
found when the oyster is four years old,
and the shellat that age is also at its best.
The pearl of an oyster of this age is ex-
ceedingly transparent and pure, while
that of the young oyster is Of yellow

The sim Hour.

The Religious Herald remarks chat it
is to be feared that great many Chris
tian people nowadays are forgetting the
importance and value of secret medita-
ton and prayer. Very mucn is made Of
what is called work. Our most popular
songs are workshops. "Why stand ye
here all the day idle7" is favorite text
for sermons. Men are continually ex-
horted to 60 into the harvest-field and
gather sheaves for the Master. To secure
a proper measure of external activity
amongst the people is the aim of most
pastors.
Now, this is all right if care DO taken
that behind the external expression there
is spiritual power and life. We by no
means wish to depreciate the use of any
external agency by which men may be
reached and won to Christ. In this stir
ring age a church whose members do not
work for the Master is, to say the least,
an anachronism. Anybody who has
come into real fellowship with the Lord
Jesus will want to bring others into the
same blessed experience. and will, OF
should ever be ready to lay himself, his
time, energies and money on the altar Of
Christian service. What we need every
where is moro workers-more men who
will devote themselves as energetically
and continuously to spiritual affairs as
they are accustomed to do to the &C.
QUESTION of pleasure or honor or wealth.
It deserves also to be said that work
is itself a means of grace. There are
many protesting Christians living 10y
less and unsatisfactory lives who would
be made vastly more happy ifthey would
strive to do something for others.
The unused heart no less than the idle
mind is the DEVILS workshop. Work
for Christ often scatters doubt and fills
the life with brightness. THERE'S Cos
pei of work which needs continually to
be preached.
But, while we are perfectly willing to
admit all this, and even disposed to in
sist upon it, it is nevertheless true that
in order to secure a truly Christ-like life
and character, and make work what it
may and should be, there is a profound
necessity for personal devotion-such
devotion as can only be gained and
cultivated in still hours spent alone with
God

EreckleS.

Freckles are annoying and are often
apparently very disturbing to those who
set much store by their complexion.
~Nese peculiar pigment deposits are usu-
ally confined to the parts of the person
which are exposed to the light-the face
and hands, namely-and are therefore
not easily concealed. Although it is
true that they sometimes appear upon
the clothed part of the body, yet there is
a very good reason to believe that expo
sure to the light is their essential cause.
They appear in summer, when the hours
of light are long and outdoor life most
INDUCED in. Furthermore, the freckles
are peculiar to certain compilations.
Brunettes rarely if ever freckle; they be-
come tanned. Blondes of the fiorid type
those with red or reddish hair-are
much more susceptible to freckles than
others. With the passing of summer the
freckles fade or disappear, and in winter
are scarcely noticeable, and as adult life
is reached they are less evident and
abundant, Independently of the care then
bestowed upon the complexion.
The causes being thus popularity of
complexion and exposure to light, it is
impossible to do much for them without
doing harm to the general health. Some
local applications will temporarily make
the freckles paler, but the only real treat
ment is prevention by exclusion of light.
This, of course, will be presently de.
structive of the health of the child. 1t
is possible to lessen the freckling, how
ever, by avoiding exposure to the strong
est glare of the sun, and the shade hats
are of some value in this direction

"what About Your sins ~

Passing down a street in the north OF

a young woman was very ill, and asked
me to call and see her, adding, ''She is

kindly welcome was given by both the
invalid and her mother.
The poor sufferer was just twenty-one;

sumption. apparently with only a few
days to live.
took a seat by her bedside, and after
waiting little while, asked:

Looking at me surprised, and evident

Miscellaneous Hints.


A short needle makes the most expedi-
tion in plain sewing.
Always lay your table neatly whether
you have company or not.
Dirty windows speak to the passers by
of negligence on the part of the inmates.
To prevent mustard plasters from
blistering mix with the white of an egg.
To prevent flat-irons from scorching
wipe them on cloth wet with kerosene.
New iron should be very gradually
heated at first; after it has become used
to the heat it is not as likely to crack.
A warming pan full of Goals or shovel
of Goals held over vanished furniture
will take out white spots, and the place
should be rubbed with flannel while
warm.
If you have pictures hanging against
an outer wall protect them from any
possible damp by covering the backs
with sheet lead or else keep them from
contact with the wall by corks fastened
to the lower end of the frames.
Slightly soiled white wooden articles,
knitted or crocheted, may be made to
look as well as new if they are carefully
rubbed in -four. Cover them with flour
and rub gently, as if washing, until the
-four becomes dark. Shake out the ar
ticle and rub in clean flour until all soil
is removed. Shake well and hang in
the wind until no atom of -four remains
in the wool. Of course one would not
care to cleanse in this way articles that
are worn next to the body, but for
shawls, capes and head coverings -four
answers admirably.
