pal church in the United States was re-

If God sends thee a cross, take il
up willingly and follow him. Use It
wisely, lest it be Improbable. Bear 1t
patiently, lest it be intolerable If 1t
be light, slight it not If it be heavy,
murmur not. After the cross is the

Don't let us rejoice in punishment,
even when the hand of God alone in
ficts it. The best of us are but poor
wretches, just saved from shipwreck.

keep the twins bowling all night
You're going to have my room-the
best in the house-and I'll be stuck up
in the attic somewhere.s
That evening the bogus boarder ar.
rived with his loaded trunk at the
Toodles' mansion.
Mrs. Goodies, gayly arrayed for the
grand occasion, welcomed him with
her most captivating smiles, and Mr..
Toodles solemnly escorted him to the
dining room.
The table was a sight to see, for the
unsuspecting amateur landlady had ex.
celled herselfin heaping it with goodies.
She knew, or thought she did, the i'm
portance of making favorable impress
sion at the start, although, we're
obliged to say, she intended to soon run
on hash and stews and other less ex-
pensive but equally filling dishes.
Mr.. Toodles, looking as meek and
innocent as newborn babe, did the
honors from his end of the table, and
Mrs Toodles, beaming with delight and
graciousness, nobly attended to her
part,
For awhile all went on swimmingly.
but soon even the twins in high chairs
opposite Mr. Jack evinced surprise az
the rapid disappearance of the food, and
pardonable fear lest they should
starve in the midst of such plenty.
Mrs. Toodles, in spite of her ac-
knowledged fame as hostess, showed
signs of uneasiness, and soon became
positively nervous at each fresh as
sault the new boarder made on the
vivands, while her husband, pretending
not to see her warning chances, kept on
urging Mr.. Easyman to eat.
AT last when the staring twins them
selves were in danger of being swal-
lowed by the Unsuitable boarder to top
off with, and when poor Mrs. Toodles
threatened to collapse entirely Mr..
Easyman pronounced himself satisfied
until breakfast!
With remarkably straight and sober
face he accompanied his wicked and
overioyed host to the sitting-room,
leaving Mrs, Toodles and the twins to
share thee tcrrors of the situation be-
tween them.
When the distressed lady had STAN
mered her directions for bre akfast to
the hired girl and put the startled
twins to sleep, she, with a forced and
siclily smile and a worried look, joined
the gentlemen.
She could scarcely see or breathe in

Renovating Dress-Skirts.

The renovation of dress-skirts is, of
course, economical, and when the ma
terial is good and little worn, it is to
be advised. Just now the style of
skirt shows its date more than the
bodice. If the former is sufficiently
full, there may be cores at the sides to
impart the shcath-like appearance that
is still Indispensable, and the back should
be much gored to insure the short fash
ionable train, with as little fulness at
the waist as may be. The skirt is best
mounted on narrow ribbon and
brought up over the bodice. There is
no difficulty if the modernized skirt is
full enough in giving it all the features
of current fashion. Evening dresses
can be similarly cut Crossed folds on
the upper part of the bodice are still
admired, with corselct of jet or velvet
below.-N Y. Post

This material has become standby
for all ages, though commonly grouped
under the name of Outing" dresses.
Plain navy blue and white flannel,
stripes and cross-bars of many sizes, are
worn indoors and out. Boating, yacht
ing, tennis, mountain, seaside and
country walking costumes are all of
this seasonablc and serviceable ma
terial. The trimming should never be
fussy, and always something that will
endure sun and rain, as rows of ma
chine stitching, or bias border of a con-
trasting flannel machine stitched on the
edges, or finished with rows of feather
stitching in wash embroidery silk.

TO any external pressure. Single trees
alone may be made to answer the pur-
pose, if the draft on them is not too
great while they are young. But if the
weight of the gate slightly bends the
tree, it will in time become perma-
nently inclined. This may be pre-
vented by using long horizontal limbs
to extend over the gate and meet, as
represented in Fig. 6. Years are of
course required to render such a con-
trivance permanent. If the trees are
already large enough, they may be
used at once on which to hang the gate.
Among the kinds which may be en-
ployed for such supports are beech,
white oak and American elm.
Trees may be employed in the con-
tinuous line of a fence, where barb
wire is used, by placing vertically strips
Of inch plank as facing between the
wire and the bark of the trees. This
prevents the wire from sinking into the
bark of the trees during their continu-
Gus growth. ACountry Gentleman.

FOR THE MATRON.
What Is Suitable for the Woman In ffet
Prime to Wear.

Prime to Wear.
A dear delightful woman of forty
complained the other day that there
was no help for her in the fashion
hints given by our writers in the va
rious newspapers, and that she must
depend on her own and her modste's
IDEAS to evolve suitable and pleasing
costume.
You cater for the young" she said,
''nnd, though most enjoyable reading,
it is of no earthly good to me. What l
want to know is how can a woman in
clined to stoutness, with more than one
gray hair in the once brown locks,
dress so as not to look either like her
own grandmother or her youngest
daughter" Now, this is the question
we are going to take up and give few
simple hints that may prove helpful to
this perplexed dame and many others
in the same state of mind
For summer wear the grenadines and
China silks in black or with small pat
terms of neutral colors arc always
lovely. These, made up with slightly
draped bell skirt and a basque with
vest front, little lace trimming or a
heading of jet, make suitable as well as
quite up-to-date gowns
Do not go in for ribbon bows. They
are for the very youthful. Avoid, like
wise, light colors, unless, indeed, you
choose gray with trimmings of black.
That is always lovely. Do not adopt
elaborate trimmings. The simpler
styles do not emphasize the marks OF
time as the more ornate decorations are
apt to do.
Hat trimmings, such as silk or braid
| passemcntcrics or very fine pieces OF
| jet, are far preferable to lace Jokes,
rufflcs, or chiffon jabots. A bit of real
at throat and wrists are not looked
upon as trimmings, but part and parcel
of the gracious lady past her first youth.
Bonnets are not necessities, but are al
ways the most in keeping, yet this sea,
son large black hats will Ire much worn
| by the matron. OF course these are not
bent into fantastic shapes or bedeclled
with the nodding sprays of the girlish
Leghorn But lace and ribbon, usually
black with rings of j. or steel, make a
most desirable and effective bit of mil.
linery.
You can not go far wrong if you avQiG
the bizarre and stick to the quiet tones
and non-ultra styles which look well
on both old and young-Philadclphia

REAOY-MADE HAPPINESS.
A Literal Application of "Take No Thought
FOR the Morrow"


We spend 50 much time getting ready
to be happy! The party tonight, the
picnic tomorrow, the journey next
week, the preparations now; the fulfill
ment of our desire tomorrow, and the
frequent disappointment of our ex-
pcctations, day after day This is the
true history of many days, is it not?
Suppose You try for just one day to be
happy in the little things that come
without anticipation or preparation.
Suppose you take note of your mothers
smile and fathers Good morning" and
babys eager chuclilc as you appear.
Suppose you abandon yourself to a
frolic without anxious care for the good
time tomorrow. Suppose you give
yourself up to the sunshine and out-of-
doors and the new book, and the help
ing father and mother, for their sake
purely, Suppose you talk with your
friends about the pleasant things al
ready yours, and let those of the future
wait, Oh, you don't think that Take
no thought for the morrow means you?

prevent the reversed yielding. In this
case one should be half way up or near
the top and the other at the bottom
the upper one on the side towards
which the post is inclined and the bot
tom one in the opposite position. Fig.
shows the posts thus set, and the
dotted lines indicate the position which
the post would take when the stiffening
is insufficient.
1t is not necdful that stones should
be used for this purpose; durable tim

larger masses of il can BE- more con-

holes in an oblong shape, long enough
to receive the piece of wood at the
whole depth on the one side, and half
way down on the gate side. Deposit
the timbers in snug position, beat the
earth firmly about them, and the post
will be firmly set. Rough or knotty
pieces of wood will be better than if
straight and smooth, because it cannot
be pushed 50 freely through the soil;
and it will be more efficient as stiff
fener with its end against the post than

When several posts stand in a row,
as in n continuous fence, iron rods may
be used for braces, attached to the bot
