EXCUSES THAT DO NOT EXCUSE.

The old question of why people
don't go to church has been raised in
a few newspapers and the old set of
answers given in justification of alb
sence from church services. 1t is noti-
ceable that few, if any, of the absen-
tees give the real reasons for staying
away, which are not objections to the
members of the church or to the
church services but want of respect
for the day and want of religious
feeling.
1t must not be presumed that all
those who remain away from church
services have religious services of any
kind in their own homes. Were thev
to DO so they would lose nothing. for
it is what is in the heart, not what is
in the church, that brings man
nearer to God. He may stay away
from church all his life, but if he
commune with God in his closet he
is as much of a Christian as anybody
can well be. But a man who does
this is not the kind of man to make
excuses for not attending divine serv-
ices, and most especially is he not the
man to excuse himself by condemn
ing either the congregation or the
quality of the services. 1t is more
likely that the pure in spirit would
commend both, since it is the church
and not the secret worshiper that ex-
erclses the greater influence in max
ing converts to the true faith.
One excuse, and the one oftenest
given, for church absenteeism is that
there is great deal of hypocrisy
among church members. Whether
this is true or not the excuse is itself
hypocritical. 1t is sufficient for most
men to take care of their own souls.
and If they do this zealously they will
find that the condition of the souls
of their neighbors will not affect
theirs in the least. The man who has
high appreciation of his moral rec
tltude does not refuse to go upon the
street because he fears that nearly all
men and many women he may meet
there, while outwardly and apparently
virtuous, are merely pretending to be
what they are not. The good man
who stays at home because some
church members, he thinks, are hypo-
critics, may assure himself that his
presence would not make the church
members more hypocritical nor put
his own soul in more danger.
There are exceptions to every rule.
There are men and women who have
reasons for staying at home. But
these do not justify their absence and
ease their conscience by attacking
those who go to church. They would
rather abandon their own convictions
than condemn those of others.

The Prevailing Styles for Ladies
Tailor Gowns.

The tailor costume is exceedingly
popular this season. These gowns are
worn everywhere in town, in the coun-
try and even at the seashore and in
the mountains. They are made in
every kind of material light woolens,
serge, duck ginghams, and foulards.
This prevailing fashion calls for a
great variety of models and every
style of French and English coats are
brought into requlsition. AS for the
skirts, although their simplicity is al
ways adhered to, in accordance with
the severe tailor system of dressing,
they, nevertheless, exhibit diversity
of styles. This fact is well exemplihed
in the latest Mcdowell FASHION
MAGAZINES which contain, beside sew
eral pretty and very practical models,
the patterns of which can be secured
by means of coupons at exceedingly
moderate prices. These coupons
form an attractive monthly feature in
the Mcdowell Magazines for they en-
able one TO secure the patterns of the
newest and more correct fashions.
"La Mode de Paris" and 50 Paris AL
bum of Fashion," cost only $3.50
each per year, or IS cents a copy.
"The French Dressmaker," is $500
per annum, or 80 cents per copy. "La
Mode, which is unequalled as fam
lily journal, costs merely the trihing
sum of $I.5o per year, or IS cents a
copy. The three first mentioned pub
lications offer each $I.oo worth of
coupon patterns and "La Mode,
fifty cents worth of the same as pre-
MUM for yearly subscription. Ifyou
are unable TO procure any of these
journals from your newsdealer do not
take any substitute from him but ap

cooked feeds, fed hot; especially good
egg bringers being boiled apple skins
seasoned with red pepper, or boiled
potatoes spiced with horse radsh.
Corn or wheat fed alone tend to lay
on fat and keep egg baskets empty.

Novel Method of Growing cabbage,

A novel plan for setting celery and

sirable points to recommend II, Is
place them between the rows of your

is very desirable at the time of set

get fully established, and yet ripeH
