regarding early marriages among the
crowned heads. Queen Victoria was

the Prince OF Wales espoused the charm
ing Princess Alexandra before he was -.
The Emperor Of Austria took to wife the
radiant Elizabeth Of Bavaria when he

Russia was u when he gave his hand to
Dagmar Of Denmark. who was two wears

Marguerite of Savoy, then a girl of II.
The present King and Queen Of the Bel
gians were one Is and the latter II at the
Time Of their wedding. And the late
King of Spain, Alphonso XII., was very
little older when he formed his brief,
bright union with his charming cousin,
Mercedes. He was only % when he mar

Regent. And it was at the same age that
the present Emperor Of Germany was

inscriptions. Peculiarly interesting are q
series of floral patterns, which indicate
really earnest observation of nature. A
series of Semi-natural leaf patterns is pro-
duced as follows: A large field is formed
OF dark purple material in a round or
pointed oval shape, and on it the threads
are put in in whte-leaved patterns of ex-
traordinary fneness and excellent taste.
These borders are not worked in, but for
the sake OF convenience are prepared one
by one, and sewed on. This is applique
work.
About Judea the Bible gives us many
items of valuable information, although
IN rather disconnected way. Much
light has been cast upon the subject.
we may even say that deep insight
has been given us into the textile art OF
antiquity, by the great discoveries made
in Assyria in the conrSe of the present
century. Slabs OF alabaSter were found
in the remains of the royal palace OF
Nineveh, in good state of preservation,
which exhibit in low relief series OF
figures representing various incidents in
ancient life, showing us, for example, this
king at court, in battle, hunting. drink
ing, etc. All those reliefs depict the cos
tunes of the persons represented down
TO the smallest detail.
We see long cloSely-tittiug garments of
heavy materials with few or no folds,
which must have been thick woolen fab
rics, embroidered with gold. These gar
ments are covered with circular patterns,
stars and in general with plain figures
and are provided with borders of the
breadth of a hand. The principal part of
the garment is completely covered with
this border, and is quite in the style of
the dress now worn on state occasions by
the servants of princes. The border is
put on, either straight or in curves, and
has remained 50 distinct in the sculptures
because il has been engraved on the stone
with q sharp chisel.

PINCHED FACE, BLUE LIPS.
why a Lady Was So Unattractive.

az saw lady with pinched features, blue
lips and ruddy nose, as came down in the
cars this morning." said one of the leading
doctors of America recently. "She was un-
happy, and really did not know the cause.
But |, as a physician, though never having
seen her before, knew exactly the source OF
her trouble. What was it? She was suffering
from malaria. This, you know, is now the
great disease, and it seems to be on the in
crease"
"Is malaria dangerous doctor?''
"4es, and no. It is the indirect cause of
many, perhaps most diseases, and it always
puts person in q condition to invite disease,
although 1t is bad enough of fitself.n
And what do you do for it?'
"Ah! There is the hardest part of the SUBJ
but 1t is not always advisable. One thing,
howaver, is almost necessity in any case of
malaria, and that is pure Sttmulant, pre-
ferably whisky. Where it is the right kind it
seems 10 kill all the germs of malaria quicker
than any other known thing.o
The remarks of the doctor are most valu-
able, but he did not go on to state what is
known to the writer-that both himself and
most prominent physicians prescribe Duffy S
Pure Malt Whisky. Their reasons for this are
many, the principal ones being that it is the
only medicinal whisky in the market and the
only one which for years has stood the most
and impure whiskies have been advocated
and certain unscrupulous dealers try to sell
them because they can make a larger profit
upon them than they can upon pure and ey-
pensive whisky like Duffy's Malt. but any
one who desires health and to keep off ma
laria should insist upon having Duffy'S and
take no other.

merry with their laughter. There was a
little dance in the hall, q real country
dance, and our party all went in. The
ladies looped up their riding skirts grace

several dances.
Nellie danced twice, once with George
and once with a Newcastle friend. Then
while she sat chatting and watching the
next dance form, a voice at her side said:
"Will you dance with me, Miss Nellie?''
1t was the Spaniard. Her reply was
crisp and decided: mo. | shall not

The little party soon gathered for tho

not the only pair of lovers who rode
apart, but it happened that they fell be-

talked IN tragmentary, desultory, hap

style of lovers since the world began.
After one of their little silences. and
just as they entered the ravine, George

Another Word on Our Old
Problem.

On Friday, April 3rd, Rev. Alex.
J.. Phillips, Field Secretary for
Tuscaloosa Institute, addressed the
Society of Inquiry at Hampton
Sidney. He presented the cause of
the negro in a very strong and tell
ing manner. The two points upon
which he laid especial stress were:
First, we must educate a colored
ministry. Second, we must educate
the family through a Sunday-school,
"run seven days in the week, 5" if
need be. So that with the intellect
ual training the heart may be train
ed also. When the Church had
found that the best way to reach
the gegro is through their own
preachers, the denominations
rallied heartily to the breach and
established theological training
schools for them. This has proved
a most excellent plan. To show
this we have only to refer to reports
such as come from Tuscaloosa In
stitutc: "Not one of our graduates
has quit the work, though two have
changed their ecclesiastical rela-
tions, one going to the Northern
Presbyterian Church and one TO the
Methodist. Only one has shown
any serious moral detection. The
Presbyteries which examined them
have been amazed at their infor-
nation and training"
Now q word as to the Sunday
schools. They are needed 10 select
and prepare young men who may
be sent to The theological schools.
Tuscaloosa has nineteen under its
care this year and can accommodate
fifty. We cannot wait until grad
yates from Tuscaloosa send back
young men to educate them. We
must make some effort TO supply

Pastoral Theology.
Applied Calvinism.

The purpose of this concluding
article is to show the harmony of
the preceding views with theoreti-
cal Calvinism. Or stating this
little differently, | would say that
the system of practical theology
which have endeavored to set
forth draws its strength, its very
life, from the Calvinistic system of
doctrine
Let me state briefly what | APP

of the CaIvinistic system. I'm the

the present need. And, as Mr..
Phillips has shown, it is through the
Sunday-school that the home life is
influenced, and a stable, law-abid-
ing spirit is cultivated among them.
Here is the work to do it is the
difficulty. Our Church is waking
to the necessity of using all the
energies of its members that the
spiritual growth may be more vigor-
Gus. organizes visiting commit
tees, =" "lookout committees, "mis-
sion work committees" Why may
not the spiritual culture of colored
children give employment to some?
1t is objected that the negroes are
unwilling to come to white teachers.
If the experiment be tried it will be
found that in few communities, if
in any, the negro will refuse to at
tend, if he is approached in Chris
tan, and prudent spirit. The
late Colonel J. T. l.. Preston has
proved that the more enlightened
negroes of the Valley of Virginia
can be induced to come and study
under white teachers.
Hampden Sidney is situated in
the "Black Belt" of Virginia, and
the negroes are Jealous supporters
of the Baptist denomination, and
are uniformly opposed to the
whites in political sentiment. Yet
by avoiding the use of any publica-
tions that have a denominations
stamp, and by teaching lessons
from the Bible directly, it has been
found possible to get full attend
ance.
Flourishing schools have been
gathered and taught here for years.
There seems to be little opposition,
and the teachers can testify that
the scholars learn readily, are easily
interested, and docile in handling.
To be sure it seems better to have
colored teachers as we'll as preachers
for them. But there is a need for
teachers now and their own people
cannot give them. Ought we not to
give what is ours in such abund-
ance? 1t is hard. There are OBJ
stacles in the way, but they are not
insurmountable.
1t is hard to 90 among them and
show the real sympathy that must
exist between teacher and scholar.
A genuine interest in the scholars
is as necessary for them as the sun
shine is for external nature. Those /
who try it can testify that The feel /
ing OF aversion soon wears away. /
and the earnest teacher feels that
citation which can only comesfrom
deeds of pure charity done for ellis
sake" Should not our churches
seize the privilege of instructing the
negroes wherever it is possible? |
They can thus feed the Summaries (
they can thus build the moral /
strength of the nation.
This is missionary work within
our doors. Let us try how we'll we
can do real practical mis-
slonary work. 1t requires grace and |
wisdom. 1t pays: for we can thus

the thing is scriptural, is consistent
with itself, andis the working theory
according to which every truly sue
cessful minister of the Word is
carrying forward his Masters work
on earth.
l close now with two observations.
l. Calvinism tends either to in
spire or to paralyze. 1t was the in
spiration of that man who, esteem
ing himself 'the least of the apos-
ties" yet 'labored more abundantlv
than they ALL" 1t animated old
John Knox; it made Whiteield the
prince of evangelists; its fires still
glow in Sturgeon and John Nc
Neill. At the same time it has un-
doubtedly paralyzed many who held
to its letter, but never caught its
spirit. Like massive machinery when
the steam has sunk low and the fires
well nigh gone out, the deadest and
most immovable thing on earth is
such Observation-Disclosures And
| would suggest that it is when Cal
vinism is divorced from the prin-
ciples of practical theology, that it
paralyzes rather than inspires.
There must be some practical link
between minister's work and his
theology, or the theology will over
load the work. And | make bold to
assert that our Lord supplied this
vital connection between the divine
sovereignty and the grace of the re-
generating spirit on the one hand,
and a minister's daily labors on the
other, when he first said, eco dis
ciple the nations," and then said,
'4e shall receive power after that
the Holy Ghost is come upon you"
2. In that beautiful chapter of
The Reign Of Loron the flight of birds,
the Duke of Argyle advances what
seems at first sight a startling para
doX, that it is birds weight as
well as his wings which enables him
to fly. OF course the popular idea
is that bird flies by reason of his
lightness; on the contrary, this ac-
complished scientist shows that the
swiftest birds are the heaviest, in
stancing the condor and albatross
among large birds and the partridge
among small ones as familiar ex.
amples. And he explains this very
easily upon the well-known mechan-
ical principle of the resultant of
forces, the birds flight being the
resultant between the upward and
onward force of his wings, and the
downward gravitation of his weight;
and so a strong-winged, heavy
bodied bird is the bird of swiftest
eight Now applying this illustra-
non, | would say that it takes CAL
cinjStic ,ceigbt as we'll as ccangelistic
rings FOR the mighty Gospel to fly
swiftly abroad. And while | am free
to say that Calvinism without
is little better than
broken winged bird, yet given both
solid weight of doctrine and strong
wings of evangelism, and you have
that ideal Church which must "win
and conquer and whose onward
movement can never cease" 1t is
for this reason that | long to see
the day, when this soundly Calvin
istic Church or ours shall mount up
on the wings of these aggressive
which it has been my
humble endeavor to unfold And
the conviction under which these
things have been written, is, that
this brighter day is nigh, even at
the doors" r. A. LAPsLEY.
