NATURES LAWS ARE DIVINE.

The subject OF Christian unity and the
and crecds, which play SO prominent part
in church councils and conventions this
year, indicate the growth and broadening
out of Christian influences. If the religion
of love is to govern, there can be but one
belief, one universal doctrine. The world
is its church, nature its pulpit, and creation
its congregation. Men may organize sects
and invent different forms of worship, but
il they are sincere and strive earnestly TO
put in force the teachings Of true religion.
they must sooner or later be governed by one
universal law-"love thy neighbor as thy
self"
1t must also be gratifying for good
Christians to note that churches are gracu-
ally dropping the doctrine OF future pun
ishment. A Divine Power that offers His
Beneficent Son TO all alike has no suffering
in store for people who ignorantly or un-
willingly transgress. There may be OBJ
livion for those whose restricted or dis
eased mental powers cannot receive the
spirit OF Divine Grace, but there is no
future punishment for them. OF the doctrine
of love is Inconsistent
People sin or are good according to their
mental condition. Those who have had op-
portunities and have failed to live a right
eous life may have been mentally dwarfed
or their minds may have been affected by
vicious habits. In either event they were
not their own masters and consequently
are not morally responsible for their con-
duet. There are also many ignorant people.
who, because of their limited understand
ing, cannot comprehend the advantages OF
a better life Surely the Good Father will
not do to His earthly children what a parent
would refuse to do to a child-punish them
for deeds which to their minds were not
sinful
A righteous life, then, is the result OF
a well-developed mind-one that is capa-
BILE OF comprehending that which is good
for both the body and soul, and which
can also keep in restraint the passions
and desires that destroy health and rea-
son. The church teaches US to so shape
our lives that we may glorify the Father

accomplish its end; but It is susceptible
OF only one correct Interpretation. Devo-
tees who punish the flesh to strengthen
the spirit make serious mistake. Self
denial is necessary for even temporal sue

that greatest of earthly boons, the eujoy-
ment of bodily comfort.

maker-Home Dressmaking.
Many families cannot afford TO employ
a modiste, and there is no reason why a
lady with ordinary skill should not make
her gov ms and dress stylishly. From per
sonal experience, 1 am able TO state that
success depends upon having perfect
fitting pattern, and / feel no hesitancy In
recommending Butterick's patterns as the
best have ever used. The enormous sale
OF these patterns is evidence of their
superiority. l have learned from good
authority that out of every thousand pat
terms sold, nine hundred are Butterick's.
The agency in this city is in charge of Mr..
Lewis Baar, who, for over thirty five
years, has been one of the sterling business
advancers of Washington. Mr.. Lew is Baar
made a brilliant move when he opened a
separate establishment, 927 street, for the
extensive sale of Butterick's patterns.
NEW IDEA.
A new idea was presented to the public
last week by Johnstons, the well-known
grocers on Seventh street, who have been
giving away sugar and eggs to their GUS
toners, in addition to their regular prem
ium and library cards. No doubt this " eek
will bring more agreeable surprises from
this progressive firm. The Johnston Co.
holds an enviable position in the business
community They are up-to-date grocers,
wide awake to the interests of their Gus
toners.

the graceful effect. Handsome glass cases,
crowned with stately palms, formed the
center of attraction; another pleasant
feature being that everything was dis

selections with ease. I wish also to pay
a tribute to the obliging lady attendants,
who seem TO have an inexhaustible supply

hearty congratulations.

CUBA NEEDS RECOGNITION.

There is probably no truth in the rumor
that Secretary Olney has notified the
Spanish government that this government
is likely to recognize Cuba. Attorney Gen.
erai Harmon's letter warning the public
against offering sympathy to the CubaDs
and the active measures adopted to ferret
out filibustering expeditions indicate that
the administration will oppose rather than
favor an effort on the part of Congress to
grant the Cubans beiligerent rights.

REPEAL THE pIFFERENTIAL

The sugar trust is busy transmitting to
patrons its new set of rules and regulations
Every grocer dealing in the trust product
is obliged to sign and swear to anagreement
that he accepts on consignment the sugar
forwarded to him although he is iscompelledto
pay for 1t within ten days from date of ship
ment In consideration of Enlargement that
he will not sell the sugar, which he owns
and has paid for, below the price fixed by
the trust, he is to receive a rebate OF
three-sixteenths of a cent per pound at some
time in the future, whenever the trust is
fully satisfied that he will not violate his
agreement.
The trust has put up its prices so that
occasionally it comes in competition with
German and Dutch refined sugars, and
slight reduction of the tariff would force the
trust to cut prices or lose the market. tits
believed that If the one-tenth of one per
cent per pound differential were removed
from refined sugars not even rebate would
prevent our markets from going into the
hands of importers. There is strong
feeling against the trust among wholesale
dealers because of its arbitrary conduct.
and at the first opportunity when it can be
done without loss, many of them will place
their orders elsewhere.
1t was a mistake to protect the sugar trust
atallunder the new tariff Ia W ,and especially
should the diff erential tax have been
omitted. The fight between the House and
the Senate on this question must be fresh
in the minds of the public, and the action
of the trust in putting up the price of refined
sugar because of the protection afforded
demonstrates that the House was right, and
that the Senate victory was a costly one
for the country The next Congress should
repeal this differential tax in the interests
Of public economy.
THE BIG PUG AND LITTLE PUG.
The fight between Woods and Godfrey
will be pulled off next week in Alexandra
county, and there is no consistent reason
why Corbett and Fitzsimrnons should not
have it out in the same ring even though
it is more than likely that Gov. o'Ferrall
would use a little creased tightening to
send his vehement objections throughout
the length and breadth of the land.
But the fight of the big pugs is no worse
in a moral sense than the one between the
third raters, which is sure TO come off be-
fore the Eureka Club. Therefore liberal
use of the telegraph to stop it would be
all buncombe.
When the Coxey tramps invaded Alex
andria county the State troops were turned
out to annihilate them. Their baggage
and provisions were destroyed. United
States flag was torn down and trampled
upon by several foolish soldiers, and the
tfamps were driven into the District BY
orders of Gov. O'Ferrall. As disturbers
of peace or yiolaters of the law these poor
unfortunates' were not nearly as culpable
as are the prize fighters and gamblers
who now thrive across the river. No
soldiers are ordered out to eject them,
nor are the civil powers invoked 10 arrest
and prosecute their lawlessness. But let
an opportunity like the big fight come up
and Gov. O'Ferrall will not only order out
his army, but will also put on uniform
TO command them in person.

neutrality laws and the possibility that
we might become liable to Spain for
heavy damages should the Cuban cause
fail, warrants this extreme caution on
the part of the administration. But look
ing at the question from patriotic stand
point, we should be governed by an en-
tirely different policy. Cuba under Span
ish domination can never prosper. Even
were she granted autonomy the interest
on her war debt would create such q
burlensome tax that her industries must
necessarily languish. Bankrupt and op-
pressed Cuba can never benefit either
herself or this country, but free Cuba. no
doubt, would open up her resources. give
opportunity for abu Edant prosperity. and
leave Spain to pay tie liability for which
she was chiefly responsible.
This is the argument that should lead
Congress to recognize the Cubans as bel
ligerents, and it should also awaken SYM
pathy in the heart of every American for
that oppressed people. The war debt of
Cuba amounts already to more than 5000
population. and should the contest con-
tinuc much longer the amount will be
greatly increased. Between Cuba prosper
Gus and Cuba eEslaved both by debt and
foreign domination, our choice should be
easy, even if almost impossible chances
are taken of incurring liability should we
give her helping hand.

Ted used an X and Aunt Alma an o.
At length Aunt Alma was forced to add
a third side to a square, and she prudent

Ted saw his chance, triumphantly COM

X in them Gig. 81.
He was so elated with his success that
his next line was drawn without caution,
and this enabled his opponent to make a
fine showing for when he drew an up
right line at the extreme left between the
lowest two dots, as shown in Fig. g. he lost
not only one, but ten squares, for she
could complete all marked with an o, as
shown in Fig. 4.
Then Aunt Alma filled in another line,
and Ted had the pleasure of making a
large X in each Of the four remaining
squares. You SEQ that Ted gained only six
squares while Aunt Alma made ten.
"Not a very good showing" said Ted.
sBut warn you, Aunt Alma, that l see

beat you badly. Please make another di-
agram, only make it a great deal bigger,

"Do you know any nice new games,
Aunt Alma?" Ted asked.
"I know two slate games that are SO old
they will be quite new to you, Ted"
Ted's slate was close at hand, and the
first game they played was called 'Patch-

SO many dots on the slate in q square

began drawing lines from one dot to an
other, in turn. Soon the slate looked like
Fig. 2.
The game required each player to make
line in turn, and each player tried to
make the line without enabling the oppo-
nent to complete square. AS often as a
player completed square he earned the
right to make another limo at once.
Before he knew it Ted was completely
