had veritable meaning I'm the past,
and are seen more or less, restored in
the garments of to-day. Fashion in
dress, when not carried to an extreme
is good because it gives an impetus 10
trade and employment to many thou
sands. The man or the woman must
first, however, be there, for a tailor or
milliner can make neither the one nor
the other. When they are made, how
ever, what they wear and how they
wear it, indicates to a large extent
what they are, i'm IA moral, if not relig

than most people imagine.
\ good preacher, Il candidate for an
important vacant charge, did not re-
ceive call, because he went into the
pulpit with low shoes, and scarlet
socks. Now if the people had belong
ell to the Roman church, they would
have had no objections To Cardinal
with a red hat, but being plain Pres
byterians the scarlet hose was too
much for them. The world is more or
less influenced by the philosophy of
clothing, and we know that a neat
appearance makes man a gentleman,
however poor, and that slovenly
garb will make man bore, however
rich. 1t was quite natural for the
woman who told her friend, az have
dreamed about you " that the reply
should be: ooh, did you, and what
dress was wearing ~
To ''clothe the naked' is part of our
christianity the salvation of the soul
is styled a garment. "He has clothed
me with the garment Of salvation"
There is more in clothing then ethan
is dreamed of in our philosophy" Our
ideas of chastity and comeliness, are
founded upon it. The hero is describ-
ed with his armor or insignia of rank,
or, if like David, he goes with a sling
and a stone, it is fully described with
the smooth stones from the brook"
Michael Angelo carved out of block
of marble nude David, which IS a
wonder of the world, as a work of art,
but the real hero did not fight like
that. And the christian looks for
ward to the great day, trusting that ''he
may not he found naked, but clothed
upon with Righteousness of Christ"

TRUST THE CHILDREN.

Trust the children. Never doubt them,
Build a wall OF love about them;
After sowing seeds OF duty,
Trust them for the flowers of beauty.
Trust the children. Don't suspect them,
lie: your confidence direct them,
At the hearth or in the Wildwood
Meet them on the plane OF child hood.
Trlst the little ones. Rememb er
May is not like chill December.
Let no words of rage or madness
Check their happy notes of gladness.
Trust the little ones. You guide them,
And, above all, ne'er deride them,
Should they trip, or should they blunder,
Lest you snap loves cords asunder.
Trust the children. Let them treasure,
Mothers faith in boundless measure,
Fathers love in them confiding;
Then no secrets they'll be hiding.
Trust the children just as He did
Who for ''such- once sweetly pleaded,
Trust and guide, but never doubt them,
Build a wall of love about them.

COLD WEATHER CREATES A De
MAND GREATER THAN THE
SUPPLY
EASTON, Md. Dec 5.-The cold
weather has given the oyster business
needed stimulant. and the demand is
now greater than the supply. Packers
orders show great activity, and when
they can get more oysters than there
is immediate orders for they are glad
to do so, and store them away for flu
ture use. At this time in the season it
is very desirable to get ahead in stock,
to be used when the weather becomes
too rough for the catchers. The hardy
oystermen are not deferred from go
ing to work at sunrise by the cold
weather of the last few days. They
work in the open waters until stopped
by ice, and when that gets hard enough
they work on the ice by cutting holes
through 1t over the best oystering
places but this branch OF the work is,
of course. done only by tongmen. II is
an interesting question whether or not
a tonger who has not licensed a boat
nor worked from one violates any law
when he stands on the ice and tongs
oysters through a hole.

butter and Cream as medicine.

One of the favoritc remedies of ply.
sicians is cod liver OIL and why is one
of the mysteries of the world Of medi
cine, when all there is about it is an oil
or fatty substance is wanted that is
easily digested and quite as easily as.
simulated, fish oil being appropriated
with a small outlay Of digestive power.
Why cod liver oil, product Of the de-
composition of fish refuse, should ever
have been Glanced upon when butter
and cream are natures supply and at
once the most readily obtainable is un-
explaiEable. While any one can take
cream or butter the consuming of fish
oil requires the fortitudo Of a saint and
the heroism of a martyr and, rs we
know, the oil does not agree with many
and is hard of digestion in others. Now,
it has been demonstrated that fresh, un-
salted butter is rather more digestible
than oil and is pleasant to take, on
thinly cut slices Of bread, and as high
as four ounces day Of this butter can
be eaten with impunity by even deli
cate persons, and cream can be taken to
the full desire of the patient Where
one is recovering from prostrating sick
ness and the body needs nourishmont
this fresh butter, it is now asserted, has
no equal in building up the wasted It's
sues of the body, and as a stimulant
very hot, fresh milk is without rival,
outside of the use Of alcohol, which
last is better left alone, when possible.
Growing children may be greatly bene-
fitted by indulging in generous amounts
of butter, though it may seem expen-
sive, but it. may prove the cheapest in
the end. Either Of these remedies can
be taken without a Doctors prescrip-
tion and is outside of the kill or cure

Of changes to income under the title Of

so-called improvements and better

the amount of s3,575, ,453; total, S11,-
2O4.S5S. This represents the extent of
the manipulation of the income ac-
count by the former management of
the property
In November. 1891, there was paid a
stock dividend of 20 per cent. on the
then capital stock of $14,7S4,600. The
amount of the dividend was S2,956, 800
In addition cash dividends TO the
amount of $3,312,0S7 were paid in the
period covered by the report. These
represented supposed profits for the
two years and nine months ended
June 30, 1894. The stock and the cash
dividends together amount to S6,269,-

was earned and that, too, without con-
sidering an investment of SO 3656,773 in
