These sins have wrecked the life of
many woman, and brought sorrow to
many home.
Have some definite ideas OF your own
with regard to this question OF dress.
Make up your mind that you can not
be "the most stylish girl in town."
without sacrificing other things that are
better than "style." Decide how much
you really need and can well afford to
expend for dress, and keep carefully
within these limits. Learn to wear an
old dress with self-respect, or new
one without vanity. Try to seem as I'M
conscious of other peoples clothes, as of
your own, and of our rich friends inn
ported costumes as of your poor friends
cheap gingham.
If you will settle these questions, and
learn these lessons, you may be as dain
tily clad as the lilies o. the field, and
you daintiness will harm no one. Beau
ty has never been sinful in itself, since
a loving Father created a beautiful
world, and pronounced it every good"

A Couch of Necessity.

A room without q couch OF some sort
is only half furnished. Life is full OF ups
and downs, and all that saves the sanity
OF the mentally jaded and physically ex.
hausted fortune fighter is the periodical
good cry and momentary loss OF con-
seriousness on the upstairs lounge or old
sofa in the sitting-room. There are
times when so many OF the things that
distract us could bestraightened out and
the way made clear if one only had
long, comfortable couch on whose soft
bosomh he could throw himself, boots and
brains, stretch his weary frame unmind-
full of tides and tapestry, close his tired
eyes, relax the tension OF his muscles and
give his harassed mind chance. Ten
minutes after this soothing narcotic,
when the head throbs, the soul yearns for
endless, dreamless, eternal rest, would
make the vision clear the nerves steady,
the heart light and the star of hope shine
again.
There is no doubt that the need of a
nap is often mistaken for the longing to
die. Instead of the immortality OF the
soul, business men and working women
want regular and systematic doses of
doing, and after a messy bank in the
shade OF an old oak that succeeding sea-
sons have converted into tenement of
song birds, there is nothing that can ap-
proach big sofa Or a low long couch
placed in corner where tired nature
can turn her face to the wall and sleep
and doze away the gloom.-Hall's Jour-
nal of Health.

Our Girls and their Clothes.

We all know there are certain people
who argue and believe they are perfect
ly right in their arguments that pretty
and tasty clothes are sinful and that
they must not wear them. Let them
read the following bit of good sense
written by little woman who says just
what she thinks and who is correct in
her ideas, on the above subject; she
says:
I know there are persons who seem to
believe that a girl whose gowns and
gloves fit correctly, and who likes dam
tiness better than ugliness, ascertain to
be incapable of high thoughts or large
sacrifices. But I have seen men and
women capable of meeting martyrdom
without finching, whose clothes were
of the conventional cut, and of pleasing
colors. And have known men and
women with whom would never trust
my slender purse for safe keeping, who,
if Unlocking clothes could have con-
tributed to that end, would have been
perfect marvels of virtue.
Good taste in the matter of dress is a
gift that is we'll worth cultivating. If
we care for and adorn The homes which
we have buiIded for ourselves, shall we
not care for and adorn our bodies, the
homes which God has builded for our
spirits?
But good taste in the matter of dress,
though innocent and even highly de-
sirable in itself, is likely to bring temp
tations to that which is sinful. Pride is
Sinful. Reckless extravaganza is sinful

How to Crystalline Grasses.

Very pretty mantel ornaments may
be easily made by gathering clusters of
the various feld-grasses at the season of
their greatest beauty, and crystallizing
them in alumwater. All that is nee
essary is alum-water and an earthern
jar large enough to hold the grasses.
Dissolve the alum in cold water IA
pound to quartz and warm it slightly.
Tie the grass, which must be we'll dried,
to stick, and lay the stick across the
top Of the jar so that the grass will be
submerged. Keep in cool place for
twelve hours without moving. Take
out the grass and hang it up to dry. If
necessary, repeat this operation twice
or thrice. The water may be colored
with indigo, Prussian red or saffron tea,
if desired,

Girls and Newspapers.

-
The ignorance of the average girl in
reference the current events of life and
the every day happenings of the world
is pitiable were it not pathetic. Why
should not the girl know the things trans
piring throughout the world daily ?
Why should she wrap around her the
circumscribed mantle Of home and oil
self, knowing nothing and caring moth.
ing Of what the balance of the world is
doing?
These girls at a little later period OIL
their existence will be thrown to q
greater or less extent with people who
in these days of the electric telegraph
and the daily newspaper, know almost
as much about things transporting thou
sand miles from home as they do about
the affairs of the next door neighbol
(and we trust considerably more).
When the girl who has been taught
all the details of Housekeeping, home
making and dress repairing (and nothing
else), comes in contact with these peo-
pie, she shows up in very poor light,
beside the girl who reads the daily pa
per, as regularly and religiously as she
frizzes her bangs.
And how refreshing to meet with the
"up-to-the-times" girl! What relief
after dragging through small talk,
wishy-washv painfully personal CONVEX
sation to meet with a girl who knows
something and can express her ideas
about the Hawaiian Revolution, the
prospect of the repeal of the Sherman
Law, or the passage of the German War
Bill. Conversation never drags then
when before she had one or two subjects
to talk Ct, most of them purely personal,
she now has thousand and they are OF
a broader nature, and give more play to
the imagination and a greater scope to
conversational powers.
The average man reads his daily paper
in the morning, and by noon he can tell
what has happened the day before in
the most remote corners of the earth.
His brain is stored with information
which is easily and pleasantly gained,
and which must of necessity be benef-
cial to him. and which costs him only Il
triAe. Why should our girls be deprived
of this beneficial knowledge? They
should not.
They should be required TO read the
newspapers as a matter Of duty, not su-
perfcially either, but Understandings
and thoroughly. At first it will be bore
to them; and they will think it a tedious
lob, but in the course of time it will be-
come pleasant, agreeable and fascinating.
and they will yearn for their papers as
much as they now do for their caramels
and chocolate creams.

A HELPFUL CORNER.
AUNT JEMTMA'S QUILT.

miracle of cleaning dyes,
Blue, scarlet, buff and green;
ne'er before by mortal eyes
Such gorgeous hues were seen!
SO grandly was it's plan designed,
SO cunningly twas built,
The whole proclaimed a master mind
My Aunt Jemima's quilt.
Each friendly household far and wide
Contributed it's share;
1t chronicled the country side
In colors quaint and rare.
From bellies and brides came rich brocade
Enwrought with threads Of gilt;
Fen buxom widows lent their aid
To Aunt Jemima's quilt.
No tapestry from days OF yore,
Nor web from Orient loom,
But paled in beauteous tints before
This strange expanse of bloom.
Here glittering stars and comets shone
Ger flowers that never wilt.
Here futtered birds from worlds unknown,
On Aunt Terminals quilt.
Oh, merry was the quilting bee,
When this great quilt was done;
The rarters rang with maiden glee,
And hearts were lost and won.
Meier did throng of drawer men
In war clash hilt to hilt,
Than sought the smiles of beauty then
Round Aunt Jemima's quilt.
This work OF art my aunt esteemed
The glory OF the age;
No poets eyes have ever beamed
More proudly DER his page.
Were other quilts to this compared,
Her nose would upward tilt;
Such impudence was seldom dared
Der Aunt Terminals quilt.
Her dear old hands have gone to dust
That once were 1.-THE and light;
Her needles keen are thick with rust
That flashed so nimbly bright.
Ard here it lies by her behest
Stained with the tears we split.
Safe folded in this cedar chest
My Aunt Jemimas quilt.

JERSEY DOCTOR HONORED.

-
DR.. Ezra q. Sprague Appointed United
States Marine Surgeon.
DR.. Ezra K. Spraeue. son of DR.. S.. B.
B. Sprague, of No. 1888 Grove street. this
city, has recently been commissioned by
President Cleveland as surgeon in the
United States Marine Hospital service.
He was one of three phy~ sicisns ont of
twenty-five who wei- examined at
WASHINGTON. d. c., last week In March,
that were able to pass a satisfactory ex-
animation in the service OF surgeon. The
examination was a very rigid one n
lasted six days. There are three medical
departments in the United States service,
viz.:-The Army, Navy and the United
States Marine Service. The latter may
be considered the most important for the
reason that all American sailors who re-
Quire medical or surgical aid are treated
in the Marine hospitals, and the new
quarantine law passed last February by
Congress is under the supervision Of tae
Marine Hospital service. The surgeons
from the marine service have already
been sent to foreign ports to inspec' i
emigrants Shipping to this country i'd
to prevent if possible any disease or dis
eased persons coming to the United
States.
DIR. Sprague since his appointment has
been ordered by Surgeon General Wy
man 10 report at Charleston, S. g., and
assume charge of the Marine Hospital at
that port, ana he Is at present or duty
there.

The Rev. DR.. MCGOWAN Tells His Com
gregation of Many Dangers.
The Rev. w. S. MCGOWAN, D. ID.
preached to his congregation iu the Lin
den avenue M. E. Church, last evening, a
which he said
in these days when too little regard is
paid to the past and to sacred things,
when there is u tendency to an nn-Ameri-
can spirit and to ape the airs and manners
of foreign nations, l wonld have you CRATE
fully remember and pay due honor to
those brave men whose SuIferings and
death restored to us the blessings we enjoy
as a united deople.
I'VE are the heirs Of all the generations
gone. The struggles and sacrihces of the
past have made possible the blessings and
privileges of the present. The blood of
martyrs, the many prayers of the faithful
and the unnumbered graves of the patriot
dead have been the price paid four our re-
ligious and civil liberties. -,
I'VE should labor to preserve the peace
that valor won. 1T is our duty to preserve
peace as well as to fight for it, to be good
citizens and worthy Of the blessings that
patriots won for us. We should cultivate
fraternal feeling. / believe the old soldiers
are more willing to do this than the poll
ticians.
"Ihere are still dangers that threaten
our beloved country. A foreign un-Amer-
icanized element hostile to our free insti-
buttons, demagogues and anarchists, perils
from a too liberal franchise, from a decline
of morality in the body politics, from a
growing hatred between the rich and the
poor, are dangers. we must beware Of"
DIR, MCGOWAN quoted from Lincoln's
Gettysburg Grafton, and exhorted his con-
gregation to light on the side of Christ and
against the Devil in the battle of life in
which everyone must engage. Many vet
Grams were in the congregation.
