ABSOLUTELY PURE
The Matter of Cushions.

Whoever heard of house with too
many cushions? The chairs need
cushions, and SO do the hammock. the
sofas, lounges, divans, while generous
sturdy cushions for the feet are among
the iuxurles of rest. Always cover
cushions first with unbleached muslin
or bedtcking, and then put over it the
outer covering. This will prevent the
stuf1ug from working out. and the
pretty cases from wearing out quickly.
Delicate, tinted coverings for cushions
ought to be made OF materials that NAV
be Hundred, for nothing is more Of
fensive than a soiled cushion.
There is wide range of clothes to
choose from, even under this condition.
China silks, pOngees, plain and fancy
linens, dainty ginghams, chambrays,
and lawns are some of the fabrics.
Chintz, cretonne and vslours make
suitable coverings for those cushions
that will see hard service, while grass
cloth is specially adapted to cover YER
anda or hammock pillows, as it is not
injured by rain. There are also several
materials for filling the cushions.
Excelsior or hav will answer to put in
cushions for the floor or doorstep, when
curled hair cannot be had. Hair cush-
ions ought to be tufted, and when so
made, are the best for chair seats. But
hair, as well as wool, which is an ex.
cellent stuffing, mat and pack down,
and cushions filled with either of these
substances will need to be made over
occasionally, and the hair or wool
picked apart.
Goose down is not as desirable as the
costly cider down, because it works
through cloth. Goose feather are the
best filling for sofa and lounge cushions
while an outer coat of hens feathers
will form a fair sitting for cushion,
with excelsior or hay for the mass of
its filling. Hens feathers alone would
make a cushion too heavy.-New York

How He Became an EpiscOpalian.

An Episcopal clergyman passing his
vacation in Indiana struck an old far
mer, who declared that he was a
'PiscOpal." ITO what parish do you
belongP" asked the clergyman. Don't
know nawthin' bout emmy parish, twas
the answer. "Well, them" continued
the clergyman, "what diocese do you
belong tO?" "They amt nawthin' like
that round here" said the farmer.
"Who confirmed you, thenP" was the
next question. Nobody" answered
the farmer. "Then how are you an
Episco palian ?" asked the clergyman
"Well," was the reply "yOu see, it's
this way. Last winter l went down to
Arkansas visitin', and while was there
1 went to church, and it was called 'Pis-
copal, and herd them say THAT they'd
left undone the things what they'd
oughter done, and they had done some
things whot they oughten DONE and
says to myself, says l, That's my fix,
exactly and ever since l considered my
myself 'Piscopalean." The clergy
man shook the old fellows hand, ant
laughingly said: "Now I understand
my friend, why the membership of ou

BISHOP NEWMAN SAYS IT HOPES T.
DOMINATE THIS COUNTRY.

America for Americans" was the
subject of lecture delivered last week
by Bishop John Z. Newman.
After speaking of the downfall of the
republics of old, Bishop Newman spoke
Of the founders of this republic. and
said they were gathered together for
lofty purpose and to reverse the ver-
dict of history. The history and de-
velopment of the nation were con-
sidered and the true democracy of the
people touched upon by the speaker.
The English sneer," he said, lat
our Presidents who were not college
men, but l would rather be the rail-
splitter of Illinois, or the sanalboatman
of Ohio, or the tanner of Galena, and
die President of the United States, than
be born royal prince and die royal
scoundrel."
Bishop Newman said that he was not
opposed to foreigners, because he re.
membered the noble part taken in the
struggle for liberty by men like Pu.
laski, Steuben, Lafayette, Kosciusko
and others. Our country is for that
man who will accept the seven attr-
butes of national life. 1t matters not
where he was born, on the equator or
at the pole; if he will subscribe to them
he is entitled to citizenship.
The seven necessary attributes were
stated to be: First, our rights are not
grants from superiOrs or interiors, but
flow out of the constitution of nature;
| second, that the force that governs is
moral, not physical; third, the recogni-
ton of the individuality of the citizen
as the centre of government; fourth,
the sanctity of the home; fifth, that in
telligence is essential to the existence
of freedom; sixth, the Church as an
ethical force, and, seventh, religious
| freedom"
ut is too bad, said the Bishop, that
there is in this country a Church with
100000 communicates which teaches
its members to hate Protestants and to
fear Professionalism. 1t looks upon
Protestants as heretics, fit only for the
auto-de-fe, or for inquistorial torture.
What is the purpose of the Romish
Church? We have no prejudice
against it as a Church, but we
know that Rome cannot change.
If she did she would cease
to be Rome. In Minnesota q
bishop caught the inspiration of the
time, but Rome only yesterday declared
that Bishop Ireland was wrong There
can be no progress in this Church while
Rome lasts"
He spoke of Father McGlynn as hav
ing for time shown an inclination Il
enlighten the members of his ChurcE
and to break down the barrier of ignor
ance, and added:
"But the man from the Tiber called
him, and when l was in Rome last yea
priest told me that Or. McGlynn ap
peared before the Pope, prostrate(
, himself before him and said: 'HOl,
! Father, say what you will to me, l will
obey, for am an obedient son of tn
Church. You have not heard from
him since, and you never will hea
from him again as an opponent of hi
. Church."
, This Church is making efforts, tn
speaker said to dominate this Republic
! but the people say to it: "Gentlemel
of the Vatican, hands off our Constitu
tion, bands off our public schools, hand
of our houses of charity, hands off Ou
political parties, hands off all an
everything that belongs to our couu
$ try"

There is a man in Washington who
fancies he is the head of the house.
There are plenty of other men who
think the same thing, too, and, between
you and me, it's with the most of them
as it is with this man-merely fancy.
This particular man has several small
children, and it pleases him to dis
course a great deal on the training of
the children. A few days ago he had
friends visiting him. His two little
sons began to play about noisily. 1t is
one of his theories that children should
obey implicitly. He wanted his friends
to see how he carried it out in training
of his own children. Johnny" he
said, sternly, 'stop that noise Instant
w." Johnny looked up in surprise.
Then he grinued little. "Oh, Freddy"
he said to his brother, as they went on
with the noise, ''just hear papa trying
to talk like mamma. ~ Washington

Pass the Bill.

The Senate has passed, by a vote of
5 to 3, the bill introduced by Senator
Pyle to secure the purity of the ballot
by suppressing bribery. The bill is
exceedingly sweeping and comprehen-
sive in its provision 1t is copied
largely after the Missouri law, which
is probably the best and most effective
anywhere in force. 1t requires sworn
statements from the committees in
charge of a campaign, from oficehold-
ers, from candidates for offices to be
filled by the Legislature and from can
didates for appointment by the Gov
ernOr, as to their political contributions
and expenditures. These statements
are to be open for public inspection,
and stringent penalties are provided
for bribery in all its Della

As we have reached the period of the
year when thunder storms become pre-
valent, the record of the destruction
wrought by lightning is of timely in
terest. Since 1891 the Weather Bureau
statistics show that the number of per-
sons killed by storms and lightning was
784, yearly average of 1856. A record
kept at St. Louis from 1882 to 1887
indicates that the number of persons
killed by lightning was 1920, yearly
average of about 200. During this
period the number of persons injured
was 1892. The buildings struck and
consumed were I'LL, making an aver
age loss of 1851 for each recorded
lightning stroke. The insurance com.
panies, during the past eight years,
have sustained losses from 3516 fires
caused by lightning, involving a total
loss of more than $12,000,000. Of the
trees struck "a per cent. were oak, %
per cent. elm, and 10 per cent. pine
The most of the damage from light
ming was on fiat land, and the country
suffered more than the cities from this
peril.

I've Lost My Heart.

Where is my heart? Alas not here:
1t wandered from my careful keeping,
And stole away one summer eve
When ] was too securely sleeping.
l called 1t back. All, truant heart!
1t would not heed the timely warning.
But vowed, with many a blush and smile,
1t would not return before the morning.
The morning came, but not my heart;
I've never seen the wanderer since,
And can't forgive the faithless elf
For keeping me in such suspense.
I've lost my heart. What must be done?
"Iis plain cannot live without it,
Perchance some day it may return,
If don't say too much about it.
For hearts, l know, are so perverse,
That If they think you prize them highly,
They give themselves cOnceited airs,
And verv often treat you Vilely.
And so I'll try to bear my loss,
My wounded feelings must smoother;
i may perhaps, repair my loss,
And some day find myself another.

At Dover Tuesday week was held
memorial services in honor of Peter
Minuit, the founder and first governor
of New Sweden, the first European
colony within the present boundary of
the State. The services were held in
the Court House and was attended by
the General Assembly. the State judges;
John Seymour Blore, DIR. Charles J.
Stile and Francis OlcOtt Allen, of the

Joseph W. Hearn, president; Richard

Samuel A. McCallister, of the Sons of
Delaware; and a large number Of the
people of Dover and other portions of
the State.
Rev. w. L. S. Murray opened the
exercises with payer and the first
speaker was Rev. Cyrus Cort, D. D.
He spoke of the great men of Delaware
and declared it to be one of the duties
of citizenship to remember the deeds of
a noble ancestry. He said that little
has been said and even less had been
done to preserve the memory of Peter
Minuit, the first governor of New
Sweden, as the original settlement was
called. Although Minuit's first visit
to North America was made as a mem.
ber and governor of the Dutch settle
ment at New Amsterdam and his sec.
Ond one as the governor of the Swedish
colony on the Delaware, he was OF
French Huguenot ancestry.
Minuit is supposed to have left
Wesel in 1924. He was governor oI
New Netherlands and built Fort Am
sterdam in 1929 Before founding a
permanent settlement in either OF
these places he bought the land from
the Indians and inaugurated a policy
of peace and fair dealing with them
eighteen years before the birth oil
Williaml Penn and was the founder o.
civil government in this country.
DIR. Cort then alluded to the intrigues
which compelled Minuit to abandon

phus, making his settlement at Viii

brief, but honorable. The Dutch haC
established a trading post at Henloper
in 1881, which had been destroyed By
the Indians. Minuit called a confer
ence of the Indians and made a treat!
with them at Christanaham, now Will
mington, March 10, 1888, date to b
remembered as one of the most i'm
portant in the history of Delaware.
After arranging for peaceful re
lations between his colony and th
Indians Minuit sailed for the Yves
Indies on a trading expedition, an,

The Supreme Court so far as it has
decided anything, has decided that the
most important feature of the income
tax cannot be maintained, while the
constitutionality of the remaining feat
ures of the law is afimed only by an
equally divided court. A majority OF
the entire court has declared all the
income taxes on rents of real estate
and on municipal and State bonds to
be illegal. So much Of the law has
been declared unconstitutional by a
majority of the Supreme Court and
must so stand. The income tax law,
therefore, as it remains imposes no
taxes upon the very people who most
deserve to pay them, while it imposes
taxes upon those upon whom che gov
ernment has least claim. On the basis
of equal taxation it is not possible, in
view of the decision of the Supreme
Court, for Congress to make any
thing approaching an equitable income
tax
