A Chicago criminal owes his escape

by the breakers around you, cry TO
Christ to pilot you into smooth, still
waters. On account of the peculiar
phase of the subject, have drawn my
present illustrations, you see, chiefly,
from the water. remember that
vessel went to pieces on the Bermudas
great many years ago. 1t had vast
treasure on board. But the vessel be-
ing sunk, no effort was made to raise
il. After many years had passed, q
company of adventurers went out from
England, and after n long voyage they
reached the place where the vessel was
said TO have sunk. They got into
small boat and lowered over the place.
Then the divers went down,
and they broke through what looked
like a limestone covering, and
the treasures rolled out-what was
found afterward to be, in American
money, worth 81 5000 and the
foundation of great business house.
At that time the whole world rejoiced
over what was called the luck of these
adventurers. Oh, ye who have been
rowing toward the shore, and have not
been able to reach it, l want to tell
you tonight that your boat hovers
over infinite treasured All the riches
of God are at your feet. Treasures
hat never fail and crowns that never
grow dim. Who will go down now
and seek them? Who will dive for the
pearl OF great price? Who will be pre-
pared for life, for death, for Judgment,
for the long eternity? See two hands
of blood stretched out toward thy soul,
as Jesus says, "Come unto me, all ye
that labor and are heavy laden, and l
will give you rest"

should she lose consciousness, she
struggled out of the tub, and by dint
of considerable exertion succeeded in
unlocking the door. BY this time she
was so exhausted that she could bare
ly utter a sound, and even her groans
were so faint that they were not
heard by the family in other parts of
the house. There was not bell on

some one came up stairs, and hearing

Since that time a large hand-bell, j,
with the penetrating power of gong,
has been hung on nail close to the

is wise one may be Judged from the
fact that in the newest and best
equipped hotels all the bathrooms,
whether private or public, are fitted
with electric buttons, SO placed that
they can be touched without the per-
son getting out of the water.
There are so many pretty and az
tistic bells and table gongs sold every
where that it would seem unnecessary
to remind those who have no electric
bells in the parlor to provide them
selves with hand bell for use when
occasion requires. It is most awk-

Co-oPERATIvE business and manu-
featuring enterprises have record of
many failures in this country, but in
England they appear to have been
more uniformly successful. In twenty
years ending with 1891 the number OF
cooperative societies in Great Britain
increased from 746 to 1856, their capi-
tai from $12, 2,607 900 to $56,111,170,
the annual sales from $47,3l8, 900 to
$244, COS, ,4S5, and the annual profit
from 50, 1891, 000 to $23.571 ,490. What
English men OF business can do
Americans should be able to repeat

Ferns In NeedleworiS.

Ferns of all kinds, and the lovely
maiden hair fern in particular con
tinuc favorites with neelleworkers
for the decoration of centerpieces,
tea-cloths, and lunch sets They are
worked on firm, fine white linen in
tones of green to give the proper ef-
feet of light and shade now sought
for by every one who does good work.
They are worked solidly AMI in de-
sign either to form an entire border
or only in corners. In lunch sets
only one corn r of the doylies is thus
decorated. The edges of the pieces
are either fringed, buttonholed, OF
finished with n border of the Honiton
lace braid put on in simple pattern.
The fringei or lace edge seems best
suited TO the lightness and delicacy OF
the ferns. The fringing should not
be done until after the work is laun-
dered. When ready to iron comb out
the frinres of all linens carefully
with the fine teeth of coarse CONT
and press them Use either the comb
or a fine brush broom for the fringes
of towels. Pieces of table linen en-
broidered with ferns in their natural
shades are liked nearly rs well as
those embro dered entirely in white,
rs it is poss BILE to use any flower or
no flower at all with them. They are
especially pretty usel with pure
white china, or with that decorate Q
with gold, violet or pink.

beautiful Arms.


Take two-gallon pitcher of water
in the right hand, raise it over your
head and swing it from left TO right
in circle for five minutes, then re-
verse the motion, circling it from left
to right, holding the pitcher upright,
and avoiding spilling any of the fluid.
When this can be accomplished with
ease and accuracy take second two
gallon pitcher filed with water and
swing that first from left to right
with the left hand, and as the facility
is acquired reverse the motion from
right to left. More practice will be
found necessary with the left than
the right hand. Both hands and arms
being trained, next take a two gallon
pitcher of water in each hand and
make the movement with both stimuli
taneously, being careful that the
rapidly revolving pitchers shall not
touch. The vessels must cross each
others orbit at different angles.
This is most developing exercise
to arms, neck and back, AMI when per-
feet in the exercise il will be possible
TO perform the neat little centrifugal
experiment of the whirling OF an
open can of milk rapidly around the
head without spilling q drop. Three
months of this simple exercise will
perfect the arms of even a delicate
woman most beautifully an increase
her physical strength to point where
q he may without effort control her
entire household. A husband who
sees his wife whirling four gal
Ions around her head with the grace
and lightness of n butterfly upon the
wing will hesitate about differing with
her in mere matters of opinion. New
