In form and color our home manu-

One of the largest crockery-dealers in
the United States carries full line of
fine china, made from original designs
in one of our large factories. The
forms are classical and beautiful, the
coloring deep and rich in tone, blend
ing in fine harmony. The ware is be-

already attracted attention in Europe.

students from the art schools are filling
orders for all parts of the country.

Baby's Sleeping Time.

The following pertinent suggestions,
found in BabyhOOd, for the care of baby
during sleeping-time, are so practical
we feel that every mother should give
them careful attention: l wonder if
all mothers know that baby likes to be
turned over after he has slept for an
hour or two on one side? When he
stretches and wriggles, and finally, per-
haps, cries out, try turning him on his
other side, or almost on his back, and
see if he does not relapse into another
sound nap without further effort on
your part. Do not forget to turn the
pillow over also sometimes. The one
or two-year-old who wakes in the night
and sits up in bed, rubbing his little
fists into his sleepy eyes, feels, perhaps,
hot and uncomfortable. Try turnin Z
the pillow. If he is like some children
the writer knows of, he will wait for the
sound of the turning pillow, and then
drop back on it into a renewed sleep.
Remember also to keep child's clothes
smooth under him. Drawing down the
rumpled night clothes and smoothing
the cover has much to do with quoting
the restless tossings of the little
sleeper"

Suggestions for Children.

Why are not people more courteous
to children? People appear to think
that while good manners should be
strenuously eXacted from children, pre-
cept in this connection may stand in
stead of example, and that orders may
be given them and remarks made upon
them as if they were devoid of natural
feelings and perceptions. AS matter
of fact, if, when people want children to
do something for them, they would ask
it in the same way in which they would
address an equal-if they would thank
them for little services rendered, speak
to them gently, answer their reasonable
questions civilly and avoid unnecessary
comments upon their appearance-they
would have far less trouble in teaching
them to behave with like consideration
for others. This does not mean that
children should be continually waited
upon, that their faults should pass I'M
noticed or their convenience studied
before that of their elders-merely, as
st. Paul says, that they should not be
provoked to wrath. -London Woman
World

A Forgotten Fruit.

A frequent error among those inter-
ested in cookery is to suppose that the
imported articles called currants, used
in fruit-cakes, mince-pies, plum-pud-
dings, buns and the like are fruit
resembling our own black or red cur
rants dried. In reality these dried fruits
which we call currants are just as much
raisins as anything that is offered under
that specific name, being only dried
grape, although of an exceedingly small
variety, each grape no bigger than a COM
mon pea, and each bunch but two or
three inches long. These little grape
punches are picked and dried in the sun,
and are so full of saccharine matter that
the eXuding sugar crystallizes them into
a compact form of sufficient hardness to
require considerable strength to open
the mass and prepare the fruit for
packing, they being then second time
compressed time by means of
treading with the feet, which process,
perhaps, accounts for a great deal of the
dirt and gravel usually to be found
packed with them. These little grapes
grow all through the islands and ada
cent regions of the Grecian Archipelago,
and being exported originally from Cor
inth, they were called at first corinths,

THERE is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until within the last
few years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly fail
ing to cure with local treatment pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease, and it therefore requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by f. j. Cheney
e. Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only con-
stitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses of from ten
drops to tea-spoonful. 1t acts di-
rectly upon the blood and mucus sur
face of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and tesla

Perseyering Prayer.

1t is related that Sturgeon, preaching
one day in his church, recommended to
each of his hearers to pray for par
ticular person until that one was con-
verted. This exhortation made a strong
impression upon an old porter who was
found in the assembly. Returning
home, he spoke about it to his wife, and
they agreed to pray for the most incor-
rigible drunkard in town. After some
time the idea occurred to the old porter
to tell this poor drunkard what they
were doing for him. The first time that
he saw him pass he called him, and said
to him: Say, then, Samuel, do you
know what my old woman and me have
agreed to do?'' Certainly not" re-
piled the drunkard, quite astonished.
All, well, we pray every day that God
would convert you" "Really? But
this is quite useless for me-" said the
poor man; " advise you to pray for
some one else" " What for?" said the
porter. "The pastor has told us to pray
for some one, and we have decided that
it shall be for you. The sooner you are
converted the better it will be-" In
the meantime the poor drunkard grew
worse. AT last his wife abandoned
him, after being one day more NAL
treated than usual, and his landlord
turned him out because he did not pay
his rent. In this state of things he
came to find the porter, and said to him ::
Listen, my dear; pray no more for
me; that does me no good. On the con-
trary, | become worse every day. |
can not get the idea out of my head
hot 1yo 10
This idea follows me night and day, and
in order to free myself from it drink
the more "That makes no differ
ence," replied the imperturable porter.
The pastor has told us to pray for
some one, and we pray! You will be
in hell or in heaven before we shall stop
recommending you to the grace of
God" When the old man had related
to his companion what he had said to
the unfortunate man, the worthy woman
replied: "Ah, well, will tell you what
we must do. l will prepare him place
to sleep. We will also give him some
thing to eat, until he may be able to
gain his living-and all this on condi-
ton that he promises us not to drink
any more" Thus the drunkard was
sheltered and cared for, and soon his
good friends had the joy of seeing the
fruit of their prayers-for the poor sim
ner, rejected by all, became by the
power of grace divine sober and true
Christian. Remember that "prayer
offered with faith has great efficacy"
Let us persevere, then, in prayer; let
us pray without ceaSing, and we shall see
great things, for great promises are
made to prayer by him who is the
THE Fidele Messenger.
