other things desire was expressed for
sheets hemmed by hand, fine underwear,
choice isnnels and other articles, such as
only persons of wealth and taste are sup

money for such work as this under the
name of charity. We were called upon to
contribute for the purchase of fiannels and
underwear finer than / get for myself and
to hem sheets by hand, when most of us
are glad to sleep between those hemmed

hemmed by hand, and 1 can sleep under
those hemmed by machine and cannos
always sleep under the others. do not
believe in spending the same time and
money in aiding one family, even If 1t is
that of a clergyman, as would aid three
poor families in other ways equally well
If we are to do charitable work it should
not be misdirected or wasted. If people
are really in need of sheets they would be
glad to get them unhemmed and then put
on the hens with their own hands If ma
chine work does not suit them"

TEXAS DOGS ENCOURAGED.

The dogs of Texas are vociferously
barking their thanks to the court of ap-
peals of that State for decision and an
opinion which add not little to their i'm
portance. A Texas thief stole trained
pointer valued at 5000. The thief was
convicted of felony and sentenced to two
years in the penitentiary and his attorney
not property over the value of $50 and
that consequently mau who stole one
was not liable to the penitentiary. The
court of appeals says he is,and the opinion
contains much that will please all who
have good dogs. Judge White points out
that from the time of the pyramids to the
present day, from the frozen pcle to the
torrid zone, wherever man has been there
has been his dog. Cuvier has asserted that
the dog was perhaps necessary for the es-
tablishment of civil society. He is the
friend and companion of his master, ac-
companying him in bis walks; his servant,
with him in hunting; the playmate of his
children; an inmate of his household,
protecting it from all assailants. In
New York it was held that the term "per-
sonal property included dogs, and that
the stealing of a dog was therefore lar
ceny The court in that case said the
reason generally assigned by common law
writer's for the rule is the baseness of
their nature and the fact that they were
kept for whims or pleasure. "When we
call to mind the small spaniel that saved
the life of William of Orange, and thus,
probably, changed the current of modern
history, and the faithful St. Bernard
which, after storm has swept the crests
and sides of the Alps, starts out in search
of lost travellers, the claim that the nature
of the dog is essentially base, and that he
should be left prey to every vagabond
who chooses to steal him, will not receive
ready assent"
And so forth and SO on. In Maine it
has been held that dogs are not domestic
animals, and by common law the stealing
of dog does not amount to larceny, but
stealing dogs is severely punished by stat
ute in England. In this State dog
ranks by statute as domestic animal and
cannot be stolen with impunity. The
dog has made great gain since he was
generally regarded in law as of wild ma

aux Camellias," was as usual remembered
by some one of her adorers of past days,
and the exquisite wreath of white camel
las that is usually laid by some unknown
hand on the grave was one of the most
beautiful offerings of the occasion.
Lord and Lady Aberdeen have come to
this country for the purpose of using the
worlds fair in the interest OF their project
for bettering the condition of Ireland's
working people. If they are successful in
their endeavors the Columbian fair will be
gamer as well as the poor people OF Ire
land. The earl and his lady are both
practical people. The former has always
been on the side of Ireland's best interests,
and is firm friend and supporter of Glad
stone. But the business which brings the
distinguished couple to America now is an
outgrowth of the countess plan for foster
ing the home industries of Ireland. Scat
tered throughout the island are many small
factories where laces, embroideries, linens
and similar products are made. Also, in
very many cottages such work is carried
on, and Lady Aberdeen says that Ameri-
cans will be greatly surprised at the
beauty, delicacy and fneness of these re-
suits of Irish toll. She proposes to have
an exhibit of Irish home industries at the
fair, and hopes thus to widen the sale of
the goods and to encourage their produc-
ton.
Mr.. G. S. CLARK, who has been studying
the Kelley cure at Dwight, writes of it as
follows: The chief ingredient in the
Kelley cure for the future is mans will
power. By his coming here he has volun-
tarily arrived at that necessary stage
where he admits his utter weakness to
fight the awful battle. He goes through
the treatment with an earnestness born of
trust and faith. He knows he has been
placed on his feet in from two to three
days, instead of that number of weeks, as
heretofore. He knows he has, for the
first time in years, not the faintest desire
for the stuff that brought him to Dwight,
for relief. He goes away entirely built
up, and with the experiences of the dark
past, and the known departure of the ter
rible appetite, he can look all mankind
squarely in the face and know he is re-
leased. With all these new blessings his,
the man who would deliberately proceed
to rekindle the fire of his earthly hell
would be an migrate, suicidal wretch,
and death should, as it certainly would,
be his early portion. This, to my mind,
constitutes the Kelley cure, and in giving
it would bid all unfrotunates to hope.

The repeal of the prohibition law in
Iowa is expected as result of the election,
but the prohibitionists don't give up yet.
They will, it is said, make an attempt to
resurrect the old prohibition amendment
of the constitution, which was ratified in
1882, but declared by the Supreme court of
the State in the following year not to have
been constitutionally adopted. There was
no question of the amendment having been
ratified by vote of the people, as there
was about 80, 900 majority in its favor at
special election held June 81, 1882,
but the record showed that there was
variation in the wording of the ''joint"
resolution proposing the amendment
as adopted by the house and by
the senate. In one form the words cor
to be used" followed the prohibition
to manufacture, sell, or keep for sale, any
intoxicating liquor, and in the other
engrossed resolution as approved by the
governor did not contain these words, and
in that form the amendment was claimed
to be valid, although the journal of the
senate showed that the words were used in
the form adopted by that body. The
Supreme court held otherwise, and for
nearly ten years the amendment has been
regarded as dead, and a prohibition statute
was passed in 1884 without any constitu-
tional requirement.
1t is not probable that any attempt to
revive the amendment will succeed. The
testimony of Bishop Perry concerning
prohibition in Iowa and other States is
interesting. He says: 'I think that the
Christian sentiment in our State was for
a long time in the wrong on the liquor
question. There was just as much drunk
enness under the prohibitory laws as
there ever was before. Prohibition did
not prohibit. I have lived in five States
where it failed utterly. The drug-stores
become the saloons"

EDITORIAL NOTES.
The clouds eclipsed the eclipse.

There is nothing new under the sun. It
ment to lathes for cutting screws which
was first applied in Europe less than a
century ago, and which is so important to
accurate workmanship has been used in
China over three thousand years. Their

ours.
All aboard for Damascusl A concession
has been granted for the building of rail-
road from Halfa to Damascus, Syria. One
of its ternini will be under tho shadow of
Carmel and the other by the gates of
Damascus. The whistle of its locomotives
will be heard in Nazareth and on the
shores of Galilee, and its bridges will be
flung over the Kishon, the Jordan and the
Pharpar.
DIR. Mitscherlich has invented a stuff
made from the fbers of wood. Thin
boards with the knots taken out are
treated with solution of sulphuric acid
in a hollow boiler. Not only the hard
matter, which is the cause of the brittle
ness of wood fbers, is eliminated by this
treatment, but the fiber itself is chemi-
cally transformed. 1t is bleached, and be-
comes silky as well as strong and elastic.
It is then treated in the same manner as
any other goods, that is, combed, spun
and finally woven into stuffs of exceeding
fneness and different varieties.
Since there are women who bestow any
amount of thought, time and money upon
their pet dogs it is not surprising that the
fashions in dogs millinery, jewelry, ETC.,
are constantly changing. A short time
ago jeweled collars and chain bracelets
were all the rage; these are now consid-
cred old fashioned. The latest style is q
collar of white patent leather, ornamented
with bow of ribbon or velvet the exact
shade worn by doggy's fair owner. Some
times the collar is of dull leather, with the
name of the dog perforated and stitched
with gold or silver threads; but in al
cases the collar must be white and the bow
must match its mistress gown-colors anG
shades of all kinds being out of favor will

Ough!

The ploughboy whistled behind his plough,
For his lungs were sound and he had no cough;
He guided his team with plant bough,
And watered it well by the wayside trough.
The toll was hard for the land was rough
1t lay on the shores of an Irish lough-
But his well fed team was stout and tough,
And he piled his bough to flank and hough.
He toiled all day and the crow and chough
Flew around his head though he oft cried
''Shough!'
But his plough at eve struck hidden sough
With a force that sent the share clear through
The frightened team ran off with the plough.
With the speed of the wind from the ploug hboy
though
He shouted "Woa!" and into slough
1t plunged where the mud was soft as dough.

Notes.

The death of Mgr. Preston recalls his
strong feeling against DIR. McGlynn and
the active steps he took in the matter of
driving the liberal priest outside the pale
of the church. For forty years Mgr.
Preston was power in the Roman Catho-
lie hierarchy, and for nearly half that
time he was vicar-general of the diocese of
New York. He was trained and educated
in the Episcopal church and entered its
ministry, but when the movement, led by
DIR. Pusey, stirred the Episcopal church,
he began to weigh the respective merits of
Professionalism and Catholicism, and finally
embraced the latter. A man of much
learning, great eloquence, intense zeal and
profound convictions, had he remained in
the Episcopal church he would doubtless
have risen to bishopric, and the church
lost much when he became a pervert. But
he found the place which he sought. He
said himself: ttThere were some worldly
sacrifices, but, though they sobered my
face, they did not drive the sunshine from
my heart. At last 1 was in my fathers
house, and never from that moment have
1 had one doubt of the Catholic religion"
DIR. Preston was an able and ready writer,
and he contributed considerable to the
volume of religious literature of his time,
and his work in this line has probably had
more influence than that of any other Ro-
man Catholic in this country. He man
aged the affairs of the diocese with much
skill.
The transfer of Dr. Preston's allegiance
from the Episcopal church to the church
of Rome in 1850 was accompanied by the
like transfer in his church relations by the
Rev. DR.. Forbes, with whom he was asso-
ciated. But twelve years later DR.. Forbes
| renounced the Roman Catholic church and
returned to the Episcopal faith and order.
| For this he was publicly excommunicsted
by Archbishop Hughes. Some other
| transfers of denominational allegiance
may be recalled When DIR. George n.
| Hepworth was pastor of the Unitarian
| Church of the Messiah he decided to be-
come Congregstionalist, and he was re-
ceived into Plymouth church and subse-
| ouently became pastor of the Church of
the Disciples. The Rev. Robert Collyer,
now pastor of the Church of the Messiah,
| was q Methodist in the early years of his
ministry. DIR. Emory j. Haynes, of Bos-
ton, was originally q Methodist, then q
Baptist, and now Is q Methodist again.
Dr. Wilbur F. Watkins, who went from
Holy Trinity Episcopal church to Phila-
delphia few years ago, was Methodist
before he became an Episcopalian.
The question of true charity Is one that
troubles many persons, and how wisely tc
give of time and money to relieve the suf
fering of the unfortunate is by no mean.
easy to decide. This question recently
presented itself to devout churchwo
man. In the sewing circle of the church
