ON TAKING THE COLLECTION.

was taking my collection for the foreign mis-
sion work,
And believing 1t the practice on the part OF
some to shirk
From the clearest Christian duty--leaving
others to sustain
The subiimest work of ages-in my preaching I
was plain,
Rather personal in places, and, as people some
times say
STRUCK out squarelv from the shoulder, in the
good old-fashioned way.
There were restlessness and motion, quite I'M
usual, in the pews;
Women rearranged their bonnets, men had
trouble with their shoes
In the gallery all around me there was one con-
tinual STIR
And large amount OF coughing for that season
OF the year.
This but acted as . challenge on nature such
as mine,
So rose to the occasion, hewing closer to the
line.
Uncle Ben, as was his custom, gave the sermon
earnest heed,
But his face wore some expressions that were
difficult to read
Idiscoursed upon the subject, argued, scolded,
for an hour,
Then pronounced peroration Of considerable
power,
The collection was my first one and naturally
believed
II would reach handsome figure: was thog-
oughly deceived.
When the ushers gave the total they both said,
with solemn face,
II was far the smallest offering ever taken in
that place
Full OF WEAKNESS, rejecting on the selhshness
of men,
I went early Monday morning to talk with
Uncle Ben. .a-sr
He was milking, and asked him what the bot
tom reason was
That the people gave SO little to the foreign
mission cause. EkB
Try your hand at milking parson" Uncle Ben
said with smile.
"Take this Jersey" and sat down, pleased
enough to make trial, CO. T.
Going at the business roughly, like q novice,
pull, tug pound, ~ Er.@F.
And that heller in a moment laid me fat out
on the ground.
"Whoa, there, Bessiel Jump up parson; amt
81 hurt much? I'll brush your coat.
Here's your hat" he said. 1 swallowed some
thing rising in my throat.
Then he sat beside that Jersey, humming some
old-fashioned air,
Milking, humming, and the creature stood and
never stirred hair. e.EN E
WELL said, pegaining slowly calmness and
a Sweeter mood, ..... ...,
who would dream, to see that heifer, she
would ever act so rude!"
Uncle Ben looked up and whispered; "It's a
curious kind OF trick,
How to get the milk out from her, and not have
the creature kick.
Learn the lesson, parSon, clearly; learn it here
and learn it now
You must touch a congregation gently, as I
touch this COW.
Lay your hand upon the people with stroke
as soft as silk,
And you'll fill the plates with money as fill
this pail with milk"

TO REMOVE IRON RUST.
A Process Which Does Not Injure the Most
Delicate Fabric.

A Process Which Does Not Injure the Most
Delicate Fabric.
To remove iron mold, or rust, from
any white cotton, linen or other vege-
table fiber, the following process is the
best, as it does not injure the fabric:
| The spots are stretched over an earthen
plate and moistened. Salts Of lemon
are then strewn over the marks and
rubbed in with a bone or wooden
spatula until the stain is removed, aft
erwards thoroughly rinsing in warm
water to remove the acid. Nearly all
stains and dyes will be discharged by
oxalic acid; therefore, careful usage is
necessary. Salts of lemon, salts of sor-
rel, oXalic acid, ETC., is a very danger
Gus poison, and should be used with
due caution. .....I.H
Mildew is removed by first brushing
off any loose mildew. Then little
common salt should be rubbed in, aft
erwards literally sprinkled with pow
dered chalk, and thoroughly moistened
with clean cold water. After this the
articles should be slowly dried in the
open air, and then rinsed, and if the
marks are not removed the treatment
should be repeated, possibly several
times, but in the end the mildew will
| be removed.
Taken all together, curtain dressing
is not hard work, and may well be done
at home in the majority of households,
as what Is most required is patience
sufficient to secure careful manipula-
ton. 1t is certain, also, that curtains
carefully treated in cleaning and get
ting up have their durability much in
creased; indeed some lace curtains
have passed through my hands annual
ly for the past ten years, and are now
sound and good, but they have never
been framed.-St. Louis Republic.

Invitations to Church Weddings.

There is a good deal of dispute in re-
gard to the etiquette of acknowledge
ment of card for church wedding.
Some high authorities assert that the
invitation is so general and means SO
little particular attention that no
notice need be taken of it, except in the
regular line of future visits to the bride
and to the brides mother. But Mrs.
John Sherwood, who is, probably, our
American soci,l oracle, declares that a
card is obligatory at the hour of the
wedding, if one cannot attend, and that
II the house address is unknown, his
card should be sent to the church. If this
Is necessary, most people err woefully,
Tor few non-sttendants send the card.

preserve the life of her ''goodly chic,
was she abundantly rewarded.
When God lays newborn babe In
the arms of mother, He says to her
heart: Take this child and nurse it
for me, and will give thee thy wages"
The answer of maternal love should be:

workmanship into my hands. l accept
the precious trust. / will shell

mercy seat. / will be truthful
that it may never learn false

that in after years it may bear strong
meat for strong service of God and
righteousness. o Heavenly Father,
make my life in harmony with Thy
self, that this young life may reflect
Thy blessed image in following my ex-
ample!"
To such pious fidelity God offers the
highest wages; he pays the hearts
claim in the hearts own coin. Faith
full Hannah found her great reward in
SamuePs great career. Moses on the
Mount was the wages" of the poor
Hebrew mother who Graded him in

tines mighty service for the Gospel

give Monica; our Washington was

breaks His covenant with those who
fulfill their covenant with Him. Every

proves her to be wise mother in

ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
How 10 Treat Persons Who Have Come
In Contact with . Wire.


In Contact with . Wire.
In regard to first aid to the electric
ally shocked, the French minister of
public works, under expert advice, has
prepared the following rules: The vic
tim is to be, first of all, taken into an
airy place; three or four persons should
be taken there TO assist and no one else
allowed to enter. The clothing is to be
loosened and efforts made to reestab-
lish respiration and circulation as soon
as possible. To reestabl respiration,
recourse can be had to the following
two methods, viz, drawing Of tho
tongue and artificial respiration. In
the former case the mouth of the vic
tim is opened with the fingers, or, II
there be resistance, with q piece of
wood, the handle of knife, spoon or
fork, or end of a walking stick. The
front part of the tongue should then be
taken between the thumb and index
finger of the right hand, bare or COW
cred with, say, pocket handlSer-
chief to prevent slipping. The
tongue Is then strongly pulled,
and allowed to relax, in rhythmic
III iLhlIdCiOn u respiration, dt lcetSo
twenty times a minute. These move
ments must be continued without Q
break for half an hour or more. For
artificial respiration the subject should
be laid upon his back, the shoulders
slightly raised, the mouth open and the
tongue free. the arms are taken al
the height of the elbows, support
ing them strongly on the walls of
the chest, next bringing them above
the head, describing the arc of a
circle. These movements are to be
continued at least twenty times min
ute until the re-establishment of nat
ural respiration. 1t is suitable to
commence with the movement of the
tongue as described, simultaneously, if
possible, with the adopting of artificial
respiration. At the same time it is de-
sirable to try and restore circulation by
rubbing the surface of the body, by
beating the body with the hands or
with wet towels, throwing cold water
on the subject from time to time, and
applying ammonia or vinegar to the
nose

The Sure, Abiding Results When It Is
Placed in the Lord Alone.
The first result of trusting in God is
always hearts ease, or happiness. 1t
is as sure to give rest and peace as
warmth is to be found in the sunshine.
The condition is, to trust in the Lord;
not in the height of the church steeple,
or the wife's religion, or in the prayers
we are going to make after awhile
when we feel more like it, but in the
Lord. Not in the purity of our mo-
tives, or the correctness of our inten-
tions. Not in divers meats or wash.
ings and oblations. Not because we
have done this, or haven't done
that. Not because we are a preach
er, or deacon, or an elder.
or a classleader, or somebody else.
Not because we are trying to
taper off in sin, and expect to get
clear out of it after awhile. Not be-
cause we say prayers by the yard, pay
tithes of all we possess, and fast twice
a week Not because we have crossed
the sea to become a missionary, and
are toiling in thankless drudgery
among people who can not know or
appreciate the sacrifices we make.
Not because we have given up our
boat and nets and all else, to the One
we thought was going to be king, but
because we have got down to the
point where we realize that neither
our accomplishments, belongings or
works can do any more for us than the
dust on the balance, and that our only
dependence is in the word of God and
the blood of Christ. When we get
there we will have songs in the night.

Some one gave $500, 600 toward the build
ing fund of the Cathedral of St. John the
Divine, now in process of construction IN
the upper end of the city. Those who
claim to know say that Mr.. Morgan was
the giver.
Bishop Henry G. Potter is better &C.
quainted with the charitable gifts of Mr..
Morgan than any one else, but he is a
man who can never be induced to talk
when he has been cautioned to keep
silent. 1t has been said that MIR. Morgan
gives million year in charity Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, who is generally sup
posed to be the most liberal man in the
city, does not give this amount.
HIS ONE FAD.
There is only one fad that Mr.. Morgan
has, and that is the raising of collies. At
Cragston on the Hudson, his country seat,
he has fine kennels inhabited solely by
his favorite variety of dogs. Some years
ago he had a numberssof fine mastiffs, but
these he discarded so that he could devote
his attention to perfecting the breed OF
collies.
THE KENNELS.
The kennels is substantially built
structure, surrounded by thick wood.
affording shelter both from the northers
which sweep down the valley in winter
and from the excessive summers heat, SO
trying to heavily coated collies. The view
of the kennels is taken from the south
and shows main center building With
wings. The lower floor is entirely devoted
to dogs, the wings being each subdivided
into commodious rooms or Kennels each
of which connects with separate exercise
yard. A brick wall to the height OF three
feet inclOses each yard, and above that is
strong wire fence of nearly eight feet,
supported on a substantial oak frame.
The Enclosures are built in manner
more suggestive of pens for captive lions
than yards for the mild tempered collies.
The middle section of the building is d1-
vided into three large rooms on the
ground floor, one at the south and two at
the north end. The first is for storing
travelling hampers and for all work which
has to be done indoors, and the other two
are the cooking and the bathrooms.
These three have wooden floors, but the
kennel rooms all have concrete floors, SO
as to be easily cleaned.
In these kennels are the finest lot OF
collies in the country, and to reoite their
victories at prize shows would take deal
of space Incidentally it can be said that
Mr. Morgan knows as much about collies
as he does about finance.
AS an evidence of the way he is regard
ed by the great fnanciers of the city, it
need only be said that some years ago
they quietly made him present of
$50, 600 gold dinner service. More than one
of the donors had been hauled over the
coals-by the recipient too.
