ALL AROUND THE HOUSE


View Ideas In Decorative Work nm Ayt;
ciss That Combine Use and Beauty.
A simple style of decoration Just now
HIDING favor takes the form Of a number
OK rounsiels or waters worked in chain
stitch upon linen or serge foundation.
These waters are begun IL the middle and
are worked in charging circles round and
round till they are about the size of a COP
per two cent piece. Sometimes five rows
are placed round the edge Of a tea cloth or
quilt, the waters in each row being a tribe
smaller than those ia the preceding row,
III the smalIestare only the size Of peas.
For variety they can be arranged in
groups Of five, three or seven, scattered at
equal distance over the back ground. Upon
six or satin foundation the waters are
not nnfrequently made Of strands Of gold
thread, which are placed as closely as pos
siDie together, aad sewn down with fine
but strong yellow silk.
The most fashionable nightdress sachets
are very large, from Is 10 e inches square.
Fhcy are all wadded and scented. They
are made as q square pocket, open at two
sides. one corner turned up and border
I'd with cord in preference to lace. Ivory
satin would be best, with the monogram
painted In letters formed of flowers, and
accompanied by sprays Of flowers.
very quaint and pretty little novelty in
pincushions is an ordinary wooden spoon,
first enameled white, and, when dry.
painted with small flowers and grasses in
brown and gold bronze. A small cushion
Of light blue satin is fixed in the bowl Of
,he spoon with glue, and the spoon IL
trimmed gracefully with Ii ght blue ribbons
1t is not surprising that Jewels should
have found their way from dress to needle
work. Gorgeous though their appearance
be, they are not appropriate to every article
OF home decoration. They are especially
unsuitable for cushion covers, their I'M
yielding surface rendering them anything
but comfortable when the cushion is re-
quired for use Perhaps they are more
satisfactory for the decoration OF work or
theater bags made Of plush or shot surah,
upon which much splendor may be lavished
Very dainty are cozies for slipping over
dish Of hot tea cakes or scenes These
are usually made round in shape, and
triiie larger than the dish they are to cover
They are thiekly wadded, aud covered with
soft silk drawn up to the top, where it
forms full rosette, which serves as a
handle. Round the lower part is stretched
a band Of embroidered plush or yelveteen,
which may he as ornamental as it is pos
sible to make il.

Chlldrens Day at Hebron.

HOW SABBATH SCHOOL BOYS RAISED MIS-
sIONARY MONEY.
Last Sunday was children's day at Heb
ron church. Although the sky was extreme
ly threatening the church was crowded with
bright and happy children, and many of the
old folks were there to join with them in
their special service. After many songs
had been sung. the pastor, Rev. J. e. Book
Ell, gave short talk on Foreign Missions,
illustrating in a few ways the number of
heather in the world, and showing the
duty of sending them the gospel
After the talk a collection was taken up,
and the Sabbath school contributed the
sum of $53 to Foreign Missions. The chill
dren made most Of this themselves-seyer
al boys had thlnned corn at 25 centsper day
and gave one dollar piece from their earn
ings.
The most interesting feature of the oc-
casion, however, was the distribution of
Bibles and certificates to nine BOYS and
girls who had recited the ''Shorter Cate
chism'' perfectly. No A. NJ of the Uni
versity OF Virginia ever felt prouder than
did these boys and girls when the pastor
called them up before the pulpit and pre-
scented to them these hard-earned prizes.
The pastor hopes to present more of these
at the close of the Sunday school term. the
LIST of October. This Sabbath school now
numbers 215, the largest in the history of
the church,

WHAT NEW MANUFACTURERS THINK OF
sTAUNTON AS A LOCATION.

WHAT NEW MANUFACTURERS THINK OF
STAUNTON AS LOCATION.
The John Kroder Brass Goods, Curtain
Poles and Trimmings Works have such
faith in the growth Of their trade here, that
they have just bought out a large brass and
wood manufacturer in Baltimore, and will
move his entire plant at once to their fac
tory in Staunton. This purchase will make
the Kroder works here much more extern
sive than the firm at first contemplated. MI.
Norton who has charge of the Staun-
ton factory, says he expects to have
the factory running smoothly and in good
shape as soon as August 18th. He has been
instructed by the firm to go ahead and
of the factory for workmen. Our people
are already familiar with one branch Of the
Kroder industry, the curtain poles which
on merchants advertise, but that is only
one branch of the business, as the firm
manufactures screens, easels, onyx tables
and fancy furniture generally. A letter to
this Office from the firm in New Y DIRK says:
1--WE have great faith in Staunton and are
compelled to believe that she will rapidly
develop into city of no small proportions.
We have taken special care to test the feel
ing of the people in all directions as regards
this point, and we have yet to hear of any
who have not strong confidence in the pro-
gressiveness of that section and, particu-
larly, your CITY," On the letter head Of
the firm is a grouped picture of their hand
some factory at Staunton, their factory at
Roclland, N. Y, their factory in New
York city, and their show room in the last
named city.

Rev. James Nelson, D. D.
THE ACTION OF THE sTAUNToN BAPTIST
CHURCH.

THE ACTION OF THE sTAUNToN BAPTIST
CHURCH.
The fact announced in the INDICATOR
last Friday that DR.. Nelson had been elect
ed President Of the Richmond Female In
stitute, and would resign the passionate Of
the Staunton Baptist church, caused gen.
eral regret in this city. On Sunday morn
ing last, after services at the church, con-
Quoted by Rev. II. G. Ferguson of Way
nesboro, the members held congregational
meeting and unanimously adopted the
following resolutions:
Whereas, we have heard with the deepest
regret of the purpose of our pastor to resign
his pastorate to accept the Presidency of the
Richmond Female Institute, therefore,
Resolged- That this church and congregation
sadly deplore his action in this respect and
earnestly beg that he may reconsider his pur-
purpose and continue Il pastorate which has
BEEN under the Providence of God such a
blessing to the church and SO acceptable to
our community, and which gives such bright
promise OF greater and increased usefulness
in the future.
Resotged-That copy of these resolutions
be at once forwarded by the Clerk to DR..
Nelson.
The resolutions have been forwarded to
DR.. Nelson by MI. Walter D. Hoge The
BILE, however, that Dr.. Nelson S action in
accepting the position in Richmond can
now be changed, us we sec from the press
that he has engaged the members Of the
faculty Of the Institute who are to assist
him next session, and has given directions
about changes to be made in the building
itself preparatory to the re-opening.
DR.. Nelson is q native of Louisa county,
in the prime of life and with every qualif-
cation, mental, moral and physical, to
make an efficient head of large educational
institution. At the beginning of the war
he was at Richmond College, and in 1867
he took his diploma ut the Columbian Uni
versity. After living in Maryland for sew
eral years he became pastor Of the Baptist
church in Farmville, and assisted in the
establishing of the normal school in that
place. For six years he has been pastor in
Staunton, and in that time the additions to
the church have been large, and i'll every
other respect it has been prosperous. The
congregation is much attached to him and
their esteem has been fully reciprocated by
the retiring pastor. The Baltimore Baptist
says:
The Institute has been so fortunate as to Sc
cure Dr.. James Nelson, Of Staunton, for its
President. This is royal event in the life of
the institute. DR.. Nelson is the man to make
that Institute go. He has the brains, the push
and the popularity to enllindle enthusiasm
and attract the needed patronage. He will
fill the school with an atmosphere of refine
ment and culture that will in itself be an ed
ucation. His faculty will be of the best and
we expect great things of him.
