CHlLDREN'S DRESSES.
Economical Summer Costumes for Little
Boys and Girls.

Economical Summer Costumes for Little
Boys and Girls.
The shops are full of such pretty cot
ton goods that most women long for
chance to make them up into neat
aprons and dresses.
ut is>a great piece of folly to make
a child's wash-dress in fanciful man
ner," said clever housekeeper who
looks well to her house and her six
children; "for the chief charm to such
dress is its cleanliness, and if it re-
quires an hours time to iron it is not
apt to be put in the soiled clothes
basket at the end of single day."
One of the most economical and be-
coming costumes for small boys still
in dresses is made out OF good brown
Holland linen. This retails for twenty
five cents a yard and will stand more
wear than the best of ginghams Tor
jeans.
The little costume is made in three
pieces, full skirt side-plaited to a
band. little jacket supplied with
waist buttons and broad collar and a
small pair of trousers. A little narrow
white or crimson embroidery edges the
collar, and the suit is to be worn with
no underclothing except little fam
mel shirt and under body. Four suits
made like this of either gingham or
linen will be found sufficient for most
small boys. and will save a great deal
of washing.
Gingham aprons are made in so
graceful fashion nowadays that they
are not at all Objectionable. For little
girls up to twelve and boys under six
they are made with a bow yoke and
sash back, the plain hem reaching to
the edge of the dress. From one and
half to two widths of gingham are
needed for an apron of this kind. Meas
ure from the shoulder to the edge of
the dress to get the length, allow for q
three-inch hem beneath and a two
inch hem above. Run tape through
the upper part and tie with ends of the
gingham in the back
For the shoulder-straps have single
band of the material or strings to tie
in bow. and supply the back of the
apron. from under the arms, with a
sash of he gingham. Such an apron
is as easily ironed as towel, all the
running strings letting out, and when
made of pretty material is dressy
enough for almost any ocession.-

Education VS.. Love.

Apropos of higher education. Rcna
Mchaels, Dean of the Womcn's Col
legc, Northwestern University, de-
clares that education never destroys
love or romance in girl. She says n
girl may caress Il comic section, but let
her see the man to whom her heart
goes out, and she will drop the comic
section and carcss the man. Education
may better the mind, but it has moth
ing to do with the heart. Fit had you
would not find educated women stoop-
ing sometimes to marry the men
they do, nor would you find educated
men marrying mere prcttincss. when
there was still some educated woman-
hood left. -RuraL NeW Yorker.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

Since 1853 the English Congrega-
tional Chapel Building Society has as
sisted 673 churches.
The Mormon establishment or
church in this country comprises 1872
3S3 persons.
DR. John Hall, of New York, is
worth million, and breaches to
congregation worth $400, 100000
1t is said that there are 29 congre-
cations of $500 persons connected
with the mission of the Protestant
Episcopal church in Mexico.
The second church bell brought to
this continent still rings at the First
Congregational Church of Hartford,
Conn. The first church bell brought
to this country rang in Virginia
= Rev. DR.. Andrew P. Peabody
of Cambridge, Mass, learned to read
before he was years old, entered
Harvard College at 12, and graduated
at 15, being, with two exceptions. the
youngest graduate on record.
-Three-fourths of the Bibles shipped
from New York TO foreign mission
stations go to Mexico and South Amer
lea. After the Bible has been so long
prohibited in these nominally Christian
lands, this is great triumph.
In the United States there is one
minister to 700 people; in China, one
ordained missionary to 100000 OF
the 200, 100000 of Africa, 100000 900
have not been touched by Christian
teachers. The United States has S0,-
900 preachers, while India, with five
times the population, has 700 ordained
missionaries
Nearly all the German universities
have large endowments, and yet the
State budget every year gives them
large sums of money. The University
of Leipzing, for instance, is more than
four hundred years old and has large
possessions of real estate in the city.
The Saxon Government however.
gives it every year about 100000.
-Archdeacon Farrar urges the es.
tablishing of new order of clergy
men by the English church--to work
especially among the poor and
degraded, the members to join in for
definite period, say five years, to be
bound during that time by VOWS of
poverty, celibacy and obedience. 1t is
not stated how the proposal is re-
ceived. -
"A few months ago catalogue OF
Christian Endeavor Societies in New
York was made. The list has very
much increased since then, but it was
found that there were 450 societies, an
increase of nearly 500 per cent in one
year. The Presbyterian denomination
led the list with 1874 societies, the Bap
list next with 102, the Methodist with
over 60. then the Congregational with
60 and the Reformed with AZ. The
others were scattered among the Other
denominations.
Attention has been recently called
to anoted school in England. where tht
forcing progress has long been in vogue
by the death from mental overwork O.
two teachers, and the serious illness O
d third teacher, and also number O
scholars, from the same cause. Th'
discussion which these melancholy re
suits of the high-pressure system o
education provoked elected the rathe
foggy opinion that THE precise co
efficient of study which agrees will
fair bodily health is indeed an uncer
tain quantity regulated by diverse per
sonal peculiarities. "

Mrs MAY WRIGHT SEwALL said in
recent address on the higher education
of women: ''Gf the institutions which
have assisted the higher education of
women in this country, Troy seminary
Qs2D. Oberlin college Qs65), Michi-
gan university Qs70). Smith college
(1S70. Harvard Annex Qs7e). and
Bryn Mawr college (lss5). merit spe-
eial mention. since each marks an
epoch in the history of a movement
to which each made an essentially orig
inal contribution, and to whose course
each gave distinct impulse"

WHY?

Heart OF me, why do you sighf
Why droop your eyelids, pale and shy,
Like snow-fiakes that on violets lic?-
Why do you sigh, my heart'
sweeting, wherefore do you weepf-
Til the flowers that May winds steep,
When the day hath sunk to sleep,
Seem from beads o. dew TO peeps-
Why do you weep, my sweet?
Omy love, whence comes this glow,
Like the sunset on the snow,
Which on your fair face doth show?- -
Why do you blush, my queens
Must speak your answer, dearf
Listen then, and you will hear
Why you sigh and weep and blush,
Why cen now you bid me hush:
Sing, o sing, ye birds that be;
Answer, music of the sea;
Spin, old earth to melody;
For my one love loveth me-
Doth she not, my hearth

WOMAN'S DEPARTMENT.
HOME.

A man can build mansion
And furnish it throughout;
man can build a palace,
With lofty walls and stout;
A man can build temple,
With high and spacious dome;
But no man in the world can build
That precious thing called Home.
1t is the happy faculty
OF women far and wide,
To turn cot or palace
Into something else beside;
Where brothers, sons and husbands, tired
With willing footsteps come,
A place OF rest, where love abounds,
perfect ldngdom--Home.

wearing a badge of mourning upon the left

The remains Of Judge Thompson, en-
closed 10 a handsome casket, occupied the
centre of the west parlor, and the time be-
fore the services began was taken ad-
vantage of BY the guests, to take a last
look at the remains. The floral offerings
were handsome and appropriate, one
piece in the shape OF an arch and base,
composed Of Gala lilies, roses and smilax,
being especially noticeable for its beauty:
At 2:3O o'clock the services were opened
by a choir composed OF Mrs. Geo. d. Cald-

10 which the deceased was held. The ser
vices at the grave were very brief, on &C
count of the severity Of the weather.

ON HEALTH,

The Committee on Health met last even
ing to open the bids for hauling garbage
for the ensuing year and award the con-
tracts, in order that they might be able to
finish up their estimate Of expenses
for the year. Quite a number of contracts
were opened, and the matter was discussed,
the conclusion being arrived at that Gs the
old contracts did not expire until April
LIST, the letting of the contracts could be
postponed until some time later. How
ever the committee decided that he
amount needed for this expense was $500,
and will so recommend to Council.
Health Officer Reed said that the crems-
tory needed repairing badly, and as
q great deal of night soil
was being sent to the furnace
il was in no shape 10 do the work. On
motion Superintendent Serig was author
lied to have the necessary repairs made at
once, which will take at least q weeks
time, during which another place will
have to be found for the garbage. The
committee adjourned after several bills
had been audited.

A Splendid Production at the Opera House
Last Evening.

"Le Voyage en- Suisse" by the Hanlons,
was witnessed by a large audience at the
Opera House last night. The Hanlons
stand at the head of the profession in their
particular line, and their work always be-
tays the care taken By conscientious per
focmers. The first act includes a capsized
stage coach, a sort of carnival in which
the agile servants get pretty much every
where about the stage. The next act exposes
to view the different compartments of a
sleeping car on its way through Switzerland
in which some of the occupants sue,
ceid in making it exceedingly warm for
their neighbors. The train was wrecked,
leaving some Of them peTched in mid-air
and others scattered among the ruins.
This is q very c~leverly executed bit of stsge
work end ~startles the audience. The whole
performance is remarkable fer Ingenuity OF
conception, clock-work correctness aud
