NATURE AS A OHILD's TEACHER
Rain i'm the City is Only Wctness
Broken Loose.

Rev. Charles H.. Parkhurst, D. D.,
writes upon Memories of Our Childhood
Homes, in January Ladies Home Jour
nal" and emphasizes the necessity of sur
rounding children with bright pictures
and. CHEEKY furnishings, as the mental
photographs they make in early years
are the ones that never fade, but last
and remain vivid through life. Nature,
too, has a big part to play in the teach
ings of the youth. 1T takes a good deal
to make a good home" writes the force
full leader and teacher. 1T needs some
thing even beside father and mother,
and an open fire, and the cat on the
hearth. The first element in the home is
the house itself, which needs to be dis
tinctly different from any other house in
sight. Then tlfere needs to be some land
around the house before it can be real
honey 1t gives playroom for the eyes
as we'll as for the feet. A wide range
of solemn woods win do more for a child
in a week than yellow bricks and dirty
or ever do for him. It is a great thing

musicalness of spirit that will become his
to acquire from a piano teacher or a
fiddling master.

ever see the sun come up or go down,
It simply grows light about the time

the country there is likewise op%portun-
ity for him to see it rain. There is a
great difference between ain and fall

only in the terms of STRENGTHENING and

or a dozen Square miles is a different
matter, and is unconsciously construed

uncorking. Still more impressive upon
the child's mind. are the strange com
mnnications made to him by the light

weird aurora and the swift and blazing
track of falling stars that make him
feel how solemnly close to him is the
great wonderful world above the
clouds

BOWLING.
LfndeDs win Another Victory in the
1Inrle Sam Tonrnex-Nofes.

The Lindens of Greenville are hard to
beat. The crack teams entered in the
Uncle Sam tournament, New York,
have learned this some time ago but
the fact was again forcibly brought to
their minds last evening when the Lin
dens defeated the two strongest teams
in the tournament, the Orchards and
Fidelias. The Lindens rolled in their
usual fine form and had no difficulty
whatever in downing their strong rivals.
The Fidelias were done up to the tune
of 80 pins, while the Orchards were civ
by 4s pins. Much credit is due to Ches-
terrified for the victory in the latter
game. He put up the remarkable score
of 214. His average was 1885,. George
Dickson also deserves much credit, he
securing an average Of 181. The

MEAT ON DAYS OF ABSTINENCE
Full Text of Bishop wigser's letter
on tue Subject.


Following is the full text of Bishop
Wigger's recent letter regarding the eat
ing of meat on days of abstinence
In virtue of special faculties given in
q letter of the Sacred Congregation of
Propaganda TO the Ordinaries in the
United States on March 10, 1885,, i
hereby grant to all laborers in this dio-
cese permission to eat meat at n meal
on days Of abstinence. From the per-
mission, however, are excluded all FRI
days in the year. Ash Wednesday, Holy
Week and the vigil of Christmas.
It is also to be remarked that, on those
days, on which the use of meat is thus
allowed, fish and flesh cannot be eaten
at the same meal.
This permission to eat meat on GER
tain days of abstinence extends not
only to the laborers themselves, but TO
every member of their family, so that
they all participate in the same privilege.
Those who make use of this induit are
earnestly exhorted to perform some other
work of penance on those days, such as
abstaining from intoxicating drink. or
some other act of modification. With
w. M. wIGGER,
Bishop of Newark.

Fluffy furs, like sable, mink and black
marten, are the prettiest for boas, and
heads and tails are both used in decora-
ton. The sable boa lis round,
and fattened a little to measure four
inches in width. and meets in front with
a head and paws on either side and in
Vulnerable tails hanging below. Others
are made of the whole skin, cross over in

tails. Boas with stole ends which are
entirely covered with tails are very popu-

whole skins are used in making them.
Lace and velvet flowers are used to
brighten up these fur novelties for even

And something different in neckwear is
a rufie of white chiffon, which resembles
a rope with frills around it. The founda-

A Dreary Desert Ride In Prospect.-Will Arrive
at Needles by Saturday.
All are Well

(The following is from Lillian Mason,
the singer who, with ompany of vau-
deville people. are on their way on
bicycles to Atlanta.)
DAGGETT, Sept. 30.-We arrived in
the above-namea place last night. We
are now ia miles from Los Angeles, and
forty miles over the desert. We have
still 100 miles to go before we have
crossed it.
The trip has been awfully hard, as the
roads are all cut up and it is impossible
to travel by wheel over them. We have
had to stick to the railroad track and the
riding has been very rough. The weather
has been awfully hot, but we have not
suffered for water. All the party have
stood the trip wonderfully we'll.
We hope to reach The Needles by next
Saturday. We all feel confident we can
cross the desert, though everyone here
tells us we are running great risk. We
have the moon in our favor and can
travel by hight. III write you on our
arrival there. LILLIAN MASON.
