THE "GlRLS' POLY"



Perhaps the most complete and practi-
cally successful working girls club that
has yet been organized is one that has been
provided through the generosity of a good
man and his devoted wife. 1t is in London,
Mt the West End, in Laagham place, just
beyond Regent street, and adjoining the
well known LanRhaln hotel. 1t is com
monty known as the Girls Poly" to dis
tinguish it from an institution with which
it is closely allied, the Young Mems Poly
technic institute, which is universally
known among young people in London a.
the Poly" The more precise name of the
club in question is the Young Women's
institute"
The fees for institute membership are
very sn'ell--eighteen pence per quarter, or
five shilings (Sl.25) per year. Tie estab
lishmeuJ is open in all its parts for the
benefit of the members, from G;3O to ~
in the evenings. The membership fee
gives free use of sitting rooms, library
reading and music rooms, game looms,
recreation grounds and numerous other
advantages, and also entities the fortunate
young women to admission at low tuition
rates to an immense range Of classes and
entertainments
The purely club features of the place are
highly priced 10y the girls. 1t is no small
thing for them to have a bright, cheerful
establishment that they regard as their
own, where they may resort in the even
ings, and in connection with which they
have access to so much that is iiverting
and instructive. 1t is needless to empha-

Dishwater Changed Once IA Year

The dishwater in which the plates and
dishes are washed at the great restaurants
of the Paris bGulevards is only renewed
once in every twelve months. This is the
strict but scarcely sober truth. The method
is far less unclean than it appears at first
sight. For the dshwater, after standing
a week or SO, develops strong ammoniacal
properties, which have the effect of i'm
mediately removing all grease from the
plates and dishes dipped therein.

OUR COUNTRY.

The power that broke their prison bar
And set the dusky millions free,
And welded in the fame of war
The Union fast TO Liberty.
Shall it not deal with other ills,
Redress the red mans grievance, break
The Circean cup which shames and kills,
And labor full requital make?
Alone to such as fitly bear
Thy civic honors bid them fall2
And call thy daughters forth TO share
The rights and duties pledged to all?
With peace that comes Of purity
And strength to simple justice due,
So runs our loyal dream of thee;
God of our fathers, make it true?

dear to the late Bishop Horatlo Potter.
Iutrusted to him. it grew in scope and
grandeur until, at least in conception, it
became the great structure of which the
cornerstone is now laid.
In an address issued by the present
Bishop Potter occurred these notable
words: 1T will be the peoples church. in
which no reserved right can be bought,
held or hired on any pretext whatever
1t will be the fitting shrine of memorials
of our honored dead. 1t will supply the
special need of this material age, a COM
manding witness to faith in the unseen. t"
The structure which the architects
evolved is of the round arch gothic
order, planned in many details after the
early Christian churches. following nota-
bly, the Santa Sophia church at Constan-
tinople and St. Marks at Venice. The
central dome is surmounted bv gothic
spires. The Latin form is followed in
the plan, but striking departures are
made in the termination of the transepts,
which are simply the apses of the chan
Gel swung around. The twelve great

dedicated to the apostles, the one OF
especial magni6cence being that designed
for St. John. The dome is enriched bv
scenes from the apocalypse. and the
symbolic decorations as they are carried
upward change from the particular to
the general.
Some idea of its size may be gained
from description OF its dimensions.
Its total length will be $50 feet, it's front
width 1872 feet, the height Of it's towers
24s feet, the height of the central lam

of the structure. AS feet and the height
Of the interior dome 25S feet. A build

far from 10000 persons. The cathedral
when complete will cost fully $10,000,-

will elapse before the building is COM
pleted. This means that thirty-seven

they were allowed to have at that time

A DOCTORS ADVICE.
Things Which Belong to the Body Cove
ings for the Night,

Things Which Belong to the Body Cover
ings for the Night.
The hours of repose are among the es-
sentials of the many matters of routine
which contribute in varying measures
toward existence. With these hours go
the clothing for the night.
Many ideas are prevalent in regard to
what should be worn at the time when
one ordinarily prepares for that repose
which is to give energy for the following
day. One person has an opinion that a
certain form of night robe and a bed
covering of particular construction or
character are the proper things for
health and for comfort. Ordinarily
these convictions of thought are not
worth a serious consideration. A little
common sense goesa great way and car
ries with it nearly every thing that sug
gests proper habiliment for the hours
of sleeping.
In the first place there is the body gar
ment proper, and this is from purely
sanitary standpoint best exempli6ed in
puJuLhuc' dJdLlldc SONCk UOOA DOug
and limbs and furnish all necessary
warmth and comfort. They are loose
fitting and thoroughly comfortable, and
so very easily adjusted that any one can
put them on the body with that facility
with which an ordinary night shirt is
placed. Women who may be averse to
adopting clothes which may outwardly
appear manlike may find in health a
goal we'll worth contesting, and in cov-
ering themselves with that style of gar
ment which is thoroughly sensible.
The composition of the nightgown is
matter of taste. Canton flannel, linen
and woolen goods stand at the head of
the list; after these come the silks. One,
however, which deserves special atten-
ton and which is equally suited for both
yexes is the real china silk. This last is
the best, but cannot be procured at
prices within ordinary range Of purse,
If it can be bought it will give not only
necessary protection, but comfort
able and an enduring garment.
The matter of bed clothing is another
thing deserving of thought, comprising
that same relation to the body which
the outer clothing should hold. A few
simple rules should cover the entire
ground, and they are comprised in four
homely precepts: Use hair or husk
mattress, cover this mattress with a
blanket, cover the blanket with sheet,
put sheet, blankets and counterpane,
or extras if you like, above this, and al
ways bear in mind that lowering of
the body's temperature at night is not to
be sanctioned. New York World.
