The american AgricatltsLrtst has a

charming present for an oldersister

made by winding skein OF yarn

little presents here and there Select

dalton, wind until it is covered; then
put in another. cover that, and so on
until all the presents are hidden OF
course they cannot be found until the
yarn is knit off, hence the balls are
sometimes said to be for lazy people.
Certainly the stocking or mitten grows
much faster when every little while 8
pretty gift drops out. Such ball
usually affords amusement for the
whole family, especially if the gists are
from different individuals, and no one
has seen any except his own.

while not exactly striped, are figures
running lengthwise, and not the heav-
lest in threads. The delicate tracery
is clearly shown in our illustration.
Polonaise fronts of the silk reach from
the shoulders with an open V at the
throat, falling gracefully apart below
the waist-line into soft folds over the
lace skirt.
The back is all polonaise, or, more
properly, princess in shape, the long
fullness of the train being inserted in
the middle seams.
Jacket fronts are added made OF the
silk with Innings and revers of cherry
satin. A little fancy fringe of pink
pearls edges its lower edges.
The sleeves are loose, exposing the
white arm, although it would be in
equally good taste to wear with them
close-ftting undersleeves of lace.
No lady's list of robes is complete
without at least one lace dress. White
guipure lace is decided the handsom-

Mamma, are you real in truly earn

Eyes, dear; you can take your choice
between birthday presents and tea

"Oh, I've chose the party the NOM

to do all my own 'viting? All my own

The family we're gathered in the room
for worship, and mamma only had time
to nod Eyes," before the books were
given out and the reading was begun.
Pinkie sat still as mouse, thinking
whom to invite to her party, until
papa, in whose lap she sat, read in his
turn:
"Then said He also to him that babe

a supper, call not thy friends, nor
thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor
thy rich neighbors; lest they also bid

Pinkie was very attentive all the rest
of the time. AS they rose from their
knees she whispered eagerly to her
father:
"Who is He? The one that said who
to invite to your party?" and when he
answered, "The Lord Jesus, darling"
she said musingly, II s'posed it must

the other half. Pinkie May was going
to have tea party tomorrow, and her
mother said she conld invite just whom
she pleased. Human nature in small
girls is strikingly like the same thing
in big people. Pinkie was overwhelmed
with offers of jujube paste, icorice-
root, popcorn, and, from few choice
spirits, chewing gum; to say nothing of
slate pencils that were showered on
her when she couldn't find her own.

Religion IL. tie Colleges.

The Congregationalist claims that
never before in the history of this
country has evangelical piety SO per-
meated college life as it does to-day.
At the beginning of the century it was
difficult to find a student who would
make an open profession of Christianity,
but now large portion of college stu
dents are Christians. While it is true
that there is still left much rowdyism,
and no little INSTRUMENTATION, in some
of the colleges and universities, it is also
true that in all these institutions are
found many manly Christians who are
very active in pushing forward the work
of the church.

Little Things.

The smallest act may bring forth
large results. During war in which
the Germans we're engaged, a little
shepherd boy-Fritz, we will call. Thin
was tending his sheep, and wishing he
could be soldier and go to the war.
He dreamed of the army by day and by
night; but it was of no avail, dreaming
wouldn't make him grow tall enough or
old enough.
While he was building his air-castle one
day, he looked up and saw pigeon
closely pursued by hawk. As they
came near him, he swung his crook in
the air and frightened the hawk, but
only for moment. The pigeon flew
down behind a stone wall and Fritz
scrambled after it, picked it up and
thrust it under his coat, just as the
hawk was about to pounce upon it.
After driving away the pursuer, he
took out the pigeon and examined it.
1t was beautiful carrier pigeon, and
Fritz wanted to keep it, but when he
discovered letter under it's wing
released it, and away it flew to castle
on hill near by. Turning to go back
to his sheep, Fritz saw soldier sitting
on horse just behind him, who, when
he saw where the bird went to, gave
rein to his horse and rode after it.
After the war was over, Fritz was
summoned to the castle and received
great honor, for the bird he had re.
leased carried letter telling the king
that one of his generals was besieged,
and unless assistance came soon. must
surrender. Fritz's act in saving the
bird and then releasing it saved the
army and turned the scale in favor of
Germans.
1t was only little thing, but it pro-
duced great results. The German bow
did what he could for his king, and will
you not do what you can for your King,
even Jesus?

Do not be discouraged, boys, if you
meet with difficulties in carrying out
any noble purpose. Samuel B. Morse
received his first idea for the tele-
graph while student at Yale College,
in lesson upon electricity, recited to
Prof. Day. The boy was then 10
years old, but he passed the age
of so before he succeeded in getting
an appropriation from the United
States Government for testing his in
vention. What years of discourage
ment, and what trials in the way of
poverty and repeated failures inter-
vened! He asked for $4,000 from
Congress, aud the members made
merry over the request, saying that if
this sum was given to magnetic tele-
graph, Millerism and mesmerism. and
any other ism, might have dive into
the national treasury. One of the SEN
ators, Hon. Fernando Wood, advised
him to give up his project Morse
went to his boarding place, paid what
he owed, leaving just 81 cents
in his purse, then crept slowly up
the long stairs to his room. There he
knelt down by the side of his bed and
gave up his hope of success, comfort.

had done the best he could. Such was
the man who afterward received $780,

which held a special Congress to give
expression to their gratitude.

Civilization moves on regular lines.
First, with increasing prosperity, we
improve our homes and ways of living,
then turn to dress and its accessories.
The influences of art are most evident
in our architecture, but it is just as
surely evidencing itself in our dress.
The stage exerts a most potent infu-
ence; dress-reformers, taking on pleas
ing designs, are insidiously creeping into
the balance in favor of artistic dress;
and last, but most powerful, the cult
waited tastes of American women are
demanding pleasing outlines and deli
cate colorings in which to array them
selves.
A practical instance we were given
one day last week. Mrs. Newcash was

pointed carriage lamenting her I'm.

which to drape them is lusterless white
silk. The design we illustrate is most
simple, yet elegant. The skirt founc-
ing is used on the skirt, while the
round bodice and long sleeves. are
fashioned of piece lace which CORE
spends in design. A narrow belt of
white MORE ribbon is passed around
the waist and brought we'll to the
right side, falling in long ends, grace
fully knotted. Such robe might be
called general utility gown, and with
it in your wardrobe you will never be
at loss for something to wear. as it
may be donned for any occasion where
a good dress is needed.
The art of hair-dressing was never
more simplifed. There are little or no
false locks to be detected on the heads
of our young ladies. Every woman
with but only whisk can arrange it
becomingly, and be at the same time in
good style, without more than a good
curling-iron.
The curling-iron, however, is q me-
cessity. Doing the hair up in papers
or hairpins does not give the right re-
suit. 1t can only be obtained by skill
fully manipulating a moderately heated
iron. All hair that is not naturally
fluffy needs such handling.
We illustrate a very popular style
for ordinary dress that seems to have
almost superseded the Grecian knot,
which was worn higher, Or in the mid

styles are only becoming to small, we'll
