How to Trim a Hat.

For trimming hats the velvet or silk
rosettes are much in vogue. They are
easily made-after one knows how.
You must conclude how large a rosette
you want, and widen or narrow your
material to suit the size. The rosette
most fancied is just about the size of a
rose, and the material, cut on the bias,
is folded to be an inch wide. The
strip is then gathered and drawn into
shape, it being fastened in that way on
circle of stiff net. Sew it securely,
and do not attempt to plat it to shape
it must be gathered. One, two or three
rosettes are used, and the number
usually decides the size. An eighth of
yard of velvet, cut on the bias, will
make one medium-sized rosette, and
this seems to be that best liked. ANA
teurs usually err in overtrimming hat
or bonnet; so as straw ones are not
as troublesome to arrange as those of
velvet, do not commit this fault. II
you can not see the really good styles
in any other way, then look at them in
the milliner's window. Read her art
and, marking it, learn and outwardly
initiate. ChapeauX "just tossed "
together always look what they are,
and the one to which proper considera-
ton and time has been shown is the
one that approaches the nearest to be-
ing ga love of bonnet. "-LadieS'

Cool Nights and Mornings.

1t is judicious and safe, particularly
for the delicate, to avoid much eX-
posure during September, especially if
warm and facilitating days-predispos-
ing to colds, on account of their debili-
tating effects-are followed by frosty
nights and mornings correspondingly
cool. Indeed, it is judicious for those
who would avoid becoming delicate, as
all may become debilitated by reckless
ness in the matter of the care of their
health, to be sufficiently clothed, if eX-
posed during the evening and night.
There may be cases during this month
in which an overgarment may be as
appropriate as during some parts of the
winter. The safe rule is to be com
Portable at all seasons-neither too cold
nor too warm. The first appearance of
chilliness, or even a slight discomfort,
with cold feet and sneezing, should be
regarded as so many hints directing us
to care for ourselves, either by the use
of extra clothing or by increased ac-
tivity, by which genial warmth may
be secured. These "slight colds " may
prove of a serious character, since
most of our diseases result from colds,
closing the pores, retaining in the sys-
tenn poisonous impurities, often fol-
lowed by serious disturbances, as fevers

Some Things Never in Fashion.

There are some things that are never
in fashion, although the enterprising
shopman may fill his windows with
them. One is green gloves; if one
green glove can be worse than another
it is that kind with V-shaped sections
of white kid set in them. These never
were and never will be fashionable,
and do not let anybody induce you to
spend your money on them. Then
while scarlet crepe bonnets and scarlet
trimmings are in good taste, leave all
red hats, especially the large ones, to
the people in the nursery. Arrange
your red coloring in some other way
and do not have it all in hat. La
Mode never approves of them. They
do not believe that blacks, grays and
browns are to be forgotten for some odd
shade of green, pink or blue; the first
are always in good taste. Peculiar
tints are never to be desired, unless one
has a wardrobe in which gowns are
very numerous. DO not be persuaded
into buying anything. Think out be-
fore you start what you want, and en-
deavor to get it. The penance of wearing
unbecoming and unsuitable costumes,
or adjuncts, is trying one; so be wise,
and by choosing judiciously do not put
yourself in a position that will involve
your having to undergo it. Sackcloth
and ashes mean happiness as compared
with silk and tulle for all hours and &C.
casions.-MrS. Mdllon.

towards, but Wits.

Congressman Allen of Mississippi
never tires of telling funny tales about
the war. Here are two: \ confederate
soldier in certain regiment had
become noted for running away from
every fight. On one occasion his
captain found him in line as an uneX-
pected attack opened. Standing be-
hind him, the captain drew his pistol
and said: "Now, John, up to this
time you have run from every fight.
You have disgraced yourself on all Oc-
casions. Now, if you stir from the
line this time, intend to shoot you
dead. l shall stand here, right behind
you, and if you start to run | shall GER
tainly kill YOU" John heard the cap
tain through, and, drawing himself up
to an unusual height, replied; "Wall,
captain, you may shoot me if you like,
but I'll never give any low-lived, low
down Yankee the privilege of doing it,"
AT Murfreesborough a confederate SOL
der was rushing to the rear with all
the speed he could command. An
officer hailed him, and sneeringly in
qIired why he was running so fast
away from the Yankees. The soldier,
without stopping, yelled back: " Be
cause l can't tly."-GdlueStOa NetoS.

General Grants Good Heart.

Edward Griswold of Guilford, Conn,
writes that on August 10, 1864, one Sec
ton of his battery was sent out to the
extreme left of our line on the north
side of the James river, beyond Deep
Bottom, with Fosters Brigade of the
Tenth Corps, to dislodge regiment of
rebel rihemen, who had secreted them
selves in a farmhouse and its out
buildings and hedges, and had opened
a destructive fire on one of our brigades
of infantry. 1t was terribly hot day,
and soon the stretchers were doing
lively business carrying off the sun
struck as well as the wounded. While
they were engaged the writer heard the
means of a wounded man near him,
but could not leave his post to go to his
assistance. Just then two men APP
preached. They were General Grant
and his orderly. The general did not
see the fallen man until his horse was
almost over him, when he stopped, dis
mounted, beckoned to his orderly, and
the great general took the private SOL
der in his arms, and, with the help of
the orderly, carried him as tenderly as
if he was his father to the shade of a
hemlock, some yards away and laid
him gently down. This incident well
illustrates one of the characteristics of
this great soldier, and the writer doubts
if any of his subordinate generals would
have done the same thing.-Nation1l

Such sacrifice of pain!

And there the tree meath which he prayed,

History OF the Central Presbyterian
Tabernacle.
The Central Presbyterian Church, now
known as the Central Tabernacle, was or
ganized IN May, 1865, by Rev. j. G. Tackles.
then late of st. Joseph, NO., in what at
that time was known as Assembly Hall, on
Market street, where the congregation
continued to worship until the erection Of
building of their own ON Mission street.
Here they remained for several years,
when the house was sold to ST. Paups Ger
man Lutheran Church, by which it is now
occupied, and a larger and more commo-
dl0us one was erected on Tyler street. near
golden Gate avenue, just west Of Taylor.
This building is now the Central Methodist
Churcb, on Mission street, it also having
been sold to make room for the Ia ber-
nacle, which was erected under the pas
torate of Rev. Il. NJ. Cunningham, DID,,
who succeeded Dr. Tackles, and who was
followed by Rev. w. j. Smith, during
whose tine the house was removed to the
corner OF Golden Gate avenue and Polk
street, where it now stands, and was re-
modelled so as to render il more convenient
as we'll as more attractive, though the more
prominent of its distinctive features were
retained.
Rev. J. W. Ellis, DID,, who organized
and was for number of years pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church of Los Angeles,
has recently been called to the pastorate of
the Tabernacle, and is now ministering TO
the congregation as its spiritual head.
In view of the history of the church dur
ing the past quarter of a century, it has
been determined to celebrate its twenty
NTH anniversary with appropriate exer-
clses, which VIII begin Tonight and be con-
tlnued tomorrow evening and next Sunday.
and also couple of evenings next week.
The exercises this evening will be chiefly
OF devotional character, and will be under
the direction Of the founder of the church,
Rev. DIR. Tackles, who has come up from
his home in Southern California to attend
and participate in the celebration. DIR. Cum
nlngham and MIR. Smith, the other two pas
tors mentioned, are both dead.
