What the Mouth Tells.

From the Boston Herald.
There are certain mouths which tell you
in every curve to beware of their owners.
There are thin lips sharply drawn down at
the corners, rather bloodless and pale
They belong to men and women whose
views are narrow and Interchangeable, whose
sympathies are not to be aroused by any
mesnS. They are self-righteous people,
and as obstinate as human beings can be.
A woman with mouth of that type may
proclaim, as far as her words can reach
that she believes in wifey submission and
feminine yielding, but she will have her
own way all through her life. She is likely
to have certain virtues, to be sure. She
will be economical piouS and proper.
Her husband is not likely to be brought
to bankruptcy, or to the divorce courts by
her, but she will lead him sometimes to
wish for either of these varieties in the
rigidity and monotony of existence.
The woman with very full, very red lips,
of the "pouting'' variety is apt to be lux
and pleasure. Beauty and brightness APP
peal to her, and her ideals are not likely to
be high but she is ardent in her tempera-
ment and very impulsVe.
The Cupid's bow of which the novelists
of another day used TO write a good deal,
is a pretty mouth, but it lacks an element
of beauty which modern standards demand
that OF spirituality.
Lips continually curving upward. slightly
pouting and red. may be very pretty, but
they are not the ones which denote that
their owner is full of sympathy and has
had deep experience of life.
Sorrow, either personal or indirect, ear
nestness and gravity. are all denoted by
the lips, which, although not sharply
drawn down, naturally take 4 downward
curve in repose The opposite tendencies
are denoted by up-curved full lips.

SHERRY COBBLERS.
Mr. Glider Tells In Confidence the Way
His Grandfather Made Them.


'The sherry cobbler appears to be making
Its appearance again at those delightful
houses where afternoon receptions are not
confined, as to their reflections. to weak
tea and stale sailed crackers said Mr.
Glider the other night, with look of
pleasant retrospection in his eyes. Now
the glorious drink can be made the most
abhorrent affair to an artistic palate that
one could dream of, but prepared by
master it Is as inspiring as the eyes of the
dainty woman who gracefully hands you
the glass. My maternal grandfather was
famous in his day for the perfection of his
sherry cobblers, and if you promise not to
divulge his secret 1 will give It to you, for
I have it here written in an angular hand
that looks very much like my dear old
grandnother's. The proportions are for
gallon of cobbler and here they are. l
have, by the way, changed the proportions
of sugar to Jumps of the cut variety. as
nothing but cut sugar should ever be used
in sweetenng drinks containing wine. Take.
therefore, thirty pieces of cut sugar and
dissolve them in two tumblerS of water.
Squeeze four lemons in another tumbler
and remove all the seeds ard small pipS.
Squeeze the juice of two oranges in another
tumbler and scrape the pulp into the glass
as we'll. Put the swcetened water into the
bowl; add the lemon and stir thoroughly.
Then with sharp knife scrape the peel Of
lemon gently over the mixture, and cut
from it few small slices without the in
ner meat. Add the grange and stir rapidly.
Then get your sherry. Let it be the best
obtainable and full pint. Trickle it into
the bowl, stirring gently with a spoon.
Put the mixture aside until you have
beaten up enough ice to fill your gallon
bowl as finely as you can; until 1t looks
like snow, and drop it in. Cut lemon in
thin slices and two oranges in thicker ones
and put the pieces in. Then slowly agitate
the cobbler for a few moments with a
tablespoon. You will have drink then
that will draw Bacchus out of the mythol-
ogy in your library and make him your
Worshipful servitor.'

A Rema rknble ee1rch With an Enter

South Washington.

The growth Of the Baptist Church in
South Washington will be eXemplified in
striking manner by the ceremonies and
services to be held in that section tomor-

Kendall branch of the Calvary Baptist
Church takes possession of the old tab
ernacle building at 9th and b streets
southwest, which has been practically re-
built and remodeled TO meet the growing
needs of a thriving church. Baptists from
all over the city will be present to lend
their encouragement to the new establish
ment The building. which will hereafter
be devoted to the Baptist denomination,
was built first for the Independent Church
and afterward passed into the services OF
the Congregational denomination.
From Small Beginning.
/. Away back in 1866, through the benefi-
cence of Amos Kendall, Postmaster Cen
eral, and also member of Calvary Bap-
fist Church, a lot was purchased on the
corner of 131a and ID southwest for the
establishment of a Baptist mission school.
Mr. Kendall also endowed the mission with
a fund of 5000 for it's permanent support.
For twenty-five years the work had been
carried on simply as mission school.
For long time 1t had been felt by the
home church and the workers In the mis-
sion that more effective and lasting work
could be done by organizing a church. With

a favorable Endorsement, has resulted in
emphasizing two important facts: First,
the vigorous opposition of the whole Amer
lean people TO British cable from Hawaii.
ard second. their equally strong desire for
an American cable from Hawaii to San
Francisco. \ Hawaiian cable means n
transatlantic cable eventually, for a south
ern link already exists from Australia to
the FIJI Islands. and its continuation to
Hawaii. and the extension of the American
cable onward to China and Japan, are
bound logically to follow soon, for CONNER
cial reasons. Although the proposition
which is a part of the diplomatic and con-
sular appropriation bill, as passed by the
Senate. authorizing the President to con-
tact for the laying of an American cable
to Hawaii and appropriating SJOo,00O as a
beginning. nay. indeed, fail at this Con-
gress, yet such is the sentiment for 1t
throughout the country-aS eager almost
as that OF the Pacific coast-that 1t proba-
bly, cannot be deferred beyond the next
Congress at fartheSt.
Cost of the Cable.
The present cost of ocean cables, for
making and laying, is about $1,000 per
linear mile. and according to the govern
rnent survey made in 1891 by the hydro
graphic Office OF the Navy Department, the
hest Hawaiian cable route ascertained,
that one lying within a favorable natural
lane 800 miles wide, with oozy bottom,
from Salinas Landing. Monterey bay, Cal.
to Honolulu. covers a distance of 2,1oI
miles by q rhumb line. Hence at that rate
the cost of making and laying the Ha-
vaiian cable would be S2.J2S. 400; and al
Lowing $iI1 800 as expenses for equipment,
concessions, franchises and unforeseen ext
gencies, the total cost would be S3,0O0,OOO-
the precise limit of cost fixed in the item
Incorporated in the diplomatic and consular
bill as il passed the Senate in 1871, at the
second session of the F'ifty-frst Congress,
but which the House rejected.
But since that time the sentiment for
Hawaiian cable has waved strong, the
stirring events in Hawaii during the past
two years having illustrated the necessity
for quick communication. Clear-headed
statesmen now agree with Secretary
Blaine President Harrison. Secretary Bay
ard and Secretary Tracy in urging and adj
vocating an American-Hawaiian cable. And
since the reciprocity treaty with Hawaii
prevents the Hawaiian government from
granting a cable lease or concession 10
any other power, the only way out
is for us to lay the cable ourselves. just
as Great Britain laid a military cable q
few years aEo from Bermuda to HaifaX
for the advancement of her own interests,
although incorporating it under the quasi
private title of the Halifax and Bermuda
Gable Company If we do not do ii, either

Aids to Success.
The history of Kendall is replete with
much that is interesting. One factor has
been the effective and earnest work Of
the Christian Endeavor Society. 1t has
been an active organization ever since its
inception, and has been the means of aid
ing the pastor in many ways. Miss Mary
Burgess is it's president.
The success of the whole enterprise IS
due to the devotion and loyalty of all the
earnest workers who have wrought in this
field for the past twenty-eight years. The
officers of the church are: Rev. Theron Out
water, pastor: Theophilus Bray clerk .Chas.
A. Muddiman, treasurer; Glen T. Jones,
Sunday school superintendent; A. p. Rider,

call was extended to Rev. Theron Outwater
to become the pastor of Kendall branch of
Calvary Baptist Church.
After seven years of united work of pas
tor and people the branch has outgrown its

Constant Work.
The Sabbath school, under the continued

over 300 names on its roll. The primary
department is under the successful manage
ment of Mrs. H. C. Pearson and num-
bers one hundred scholars. Few pastors
have labored more successfully and more
constantly than Rev. Outwater. During
his ministry at Kendall 2I1 have been add

New Building.
With the progressive work at the mission
1t was readily seen that the old building
and location were inadequate. The Cal
