W. Il. IRVINE.

In MemOriam.
oh my friend you were not conscious
OF he dark cloud which sorrow spread
Over my heart, when the sad, sad
Message came that you were dead.
Earnestly each day devoutly asked
That pain and death now you might
shun;
But, though twas hard, had to say,
Father, Thy will, not mine, be done.
Is my dear friend gone? forever gone?
(GORe sounds the echo deep and dim y
Once more my eager spirit cries,
"lf man die shall he live again?"
sweet response comes from ages past,
When JOB passed under atfiicIons
rod;
"And though worms destroy this body,
let in my flesh shall see Cod"
Oh, holy words with comfort fraught!
You make my poor, sad heart rejoice,
When | know that the Saviour said
Those in their graves shall hear his
voice.
Blessed calm for us who are bereft,
Faith from the future the veil has
drawn;
And the sleepers through the night of
Shall awake on the Judgment morn.
When will his loved-ones most miss
him,
Who was so kind to them in the past?
In the dawn of the early morning
Ere they begin their daily tasks;
Before they've had time to look up
ward,
And pray for Gods grace to sustain
Ills then they'll miss him so keenly,
IT'S then his absence will give pain.
And then, when they sit at the table,
SO quietly, until after the grace,
Then the others in their places arise
But they will not see dear papa face.
The vituals will no longer tempt them,
Because he sits not in his char;
His place will forever be vacant,
How much they will miss him there!
At morning, at noon, and at evening,
They'll long for the sound of his
voice,
And glance of his manly presence
How his coming would make them re-
joice!
But their hearts will grow weary with
waiting,
For the dear one whom they loved
best
Has laid aside all that is mortal
And with Jesus is at rest-sweet rest |!
Meath the sod on the hill we laid him,
And reluctantly left him there,
Earth, take to thy bosom so tender,
And nourish his body with care.
Speed on, gentle time, to the morning
Gods fullness shall dawn on the just ;
And thou, open grave, shall restore us
His gloritied form from the dust.

The Sick Room.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES fomen-
tation is prescribed by a physician,
or when it shall seem to be the pro-
per thing in the emergency Of ex-
treme internal pains, flannel cloth
may be folded wrung out of hot wa
ter and applied directly to the skin.
Nevertheless it is better after wiring
ing out the flannel as dry as desired
to fold it in dry flannel cloth of
one or two thicknesses before apply
ing it to the patient. A little time
is required for the heat of the fomen-
tation to penetrate the dry flannel,
thus the skin is allowed an opportu-
nifty to acquire tolerance of the heat,
and greater degree of temperature
can be borne than if the moist cloth
is brought directly in contact with
the surface. The outer folu of dry
flannel will also serve to keep the
cloth warm by preventing evapora-
ton. A fermentation is sometimes
needed, when no water is at hand
Soak the flannel in cold water,
wiring as dry as desired, fold in a
newspaper and lay upon the stove or
wrap it about the stovepipe. In a
few minutes it will be as warm as
the patient can bear.

'THF MAN WHO HAS THE BLUES.

Some men we meet have faces that are
bright and fresh as May;
They seem to sort o. cheer us up and
brighten care away,
1t does us lots o good to stay around
'em for while;
It's better'n any medicine to linger in
their smile.
l h'ain't no use for dreamy eyes and
sentimental slOsh.
But know when face is as it orter be,
b'gosh.
And while Pm willin' men shall wear
whatever looks they choose,
1t makes me sad to meet man who al
WAYS has the blues.
Some people think they're pious with
their faces all distress;
Their gloomy looks appear to me a case
OF biliOusness
If faces sad and longs the ones ter
climb the golden stair,
There amt donkey in the land but
what'll gallOp there.
L have my sorrows, but | strive wher-
ever | NAV go

Best WAY to Clean Clnthinp.

The English Society of Arts offer
ed a prize Of 800 for the best process
Of cleansing silk, wOOllens and cot
ton fabrics-one that would not
change their color or injure them in
any way. The winning recipe was
as follows: Crate two good sized
potatoes into pint of clear, soft wa
ter. Strain through a coarse sieve
into a gallon of water and let the
liquid settle. Pour the starch fluid
from the sediment, and it is ready
for use. Rub the articles gently in
the liquid, rinse thoroughly in clear
water, dry and press.

Many mothers-alas not all-take
pleasure in teaching their little
daughters how to be good mothers
and wives.
Mothers, did it ever occur to you
that it is quite as much your duty to
train your boys to be good fathers
and husbands? No matter how hon
est, truthful, industrious and upright
your boy may be, if he lacks in ten
derness, patience aud sympathy, his
home life will be far from perfect.
Watchful care, tenderness and self
sacrifice In father are almost as
essential as the same qualities in Il
mother. Teach your boys, while
they are boys, to be fathers as truly
las you do your girls to be mothers.

A Word of Encouragement.

1t is true that it is difficult some
times to see the bright side of sor-
row, sickness and death. And yet
there is distinctly bright side. No
sorrow comes to us without a reason.
We never know our friends until
sorrow or illness comes to us. We
never know what loving kindness
and thoughtfulness mean until we
stand in need of them, and our
hearts seem to beat against the walls
of a cold, merciless world. We learn
to distinguish between friends, and
what more priceless possession is
there in the whole range of knowl-
edge than this? What keener de-
light can we experience than to re-

Simplicity's reign has begun
Fashions in fabrics attained the
limit of extravaganza in last years
wealth of blossoms and gorgeous
cOlorings in silks aud fantastic de-
signs and novel color assemblages
in woOllehs. The relapse into COM
parative plainness is a welcome
change. In silks, stripes, checks
and plaids of inconspicuous size
have replaced tho floral designs
which enjoyed such prolonged popu-
larity. There are odd devices sug-
gesting submarine vegetation and
broad wave-marks. The scroll is
'the basis of many patterns showing
very artistic effects.
Softness characterizes all the new
silks. Even MORE antiques, hereto
fore able to stand alone" are now
flexible and soft. The wool filling
of MORE velours, poplin and Benga-
line, all very fashionable, renders
these fabrics unusually plant. The
new tatfetas lack the crispness
which distinguished them for so
long. Oil-boiled taffeta retains
some springinesS, but tdfIetd SOyeUr
is as soft as surah and as lustrous as
satin. Both kinds are shown in
medium tones and will be much
worn on the promenade.
Fine hair-line checks and small
checks, plalds and stripes in Scotch
clan cOlors are shown in poplins,
(which are further enhanced in
beauty by water-markings. These
,poplins are of very light weight and
pleasing in every respect. Printed
designs are shown on a seeded pop
lin, two cOlors being usually associ-
ated. Bengalines are both plain and
.brocaded. In one sample a watered
effect is woven upon Bengaline
surface.
Even chevio's are free from the eX-
saggeration that has at times
characterized these standard fabrics.
Uhe cOlorS are mixed, but the COM
blnations are quiet and unobtrusive.
Knots and boucles appear on the
surface of some, but they are woven
HAT. Checks, stripes and plaids, as
well as mixtures, obtain in cheviots.
In one plaid in which the blocks are
small, black, white and resedagreen
are commingled, while in another
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1897-03-26

c)ral-pink is the Illuminating color
CheviOts are chosen for morning
service and also for travelling an
business suits. A checked novelty
of rare daintiness combines white
linen checks with woollen ones
woven very like hOpsacking, the
wool checks being reseda in one
specimen, violet in another, brown
in IA third, navy-blue in a fourth
and ultramarine in yet another.
This material will frequently be
singled out from among the multi
tude of ecked goods for best"
wear, distinction which it merits.
Though gray color schemes and
floral devices have disappeared from
silks and woollens, they dominate
challies and Gotten textiles. and al.
most every creation in the floral
world is initiated in both form and
c)lor.-April Delineator.

Letter Writing.

To end letter gracefully shows
happy faculty. Writing to a friend
of her own sex lady will sign her
self "Sincerely and affectionately
yours" "Devotedly yours" Yours
lovingly" or, with a less degree of
intamacy, CORDIALLY yours" In a
note of thanks for some favor or
kindness on the part of a formal ac-
quaintance graceful subscription
is, with best wishes for you, be-
lieve me cordially yours" The ele-
CANT letter Is never crowded. These
are days when paper is cheap and a
twO-cent stamp carries much of it.
Large writing is the fashion and the
up-tO-date letter writer will not con-
tinue her missive to the last possible
inch of space before she signs her
name. The date and address are
properly placed last and the numer-
ais are not expressed in figure but
written out in full. AS it is mark
of courtesy to take time, if obliged
to write hurriedly, the writer should
not make bad matter worse by any
apology for its defects. To cross the
writing in letter is to invite the
suspicion that sufficient paper is not
at hand. 1t is most inelegant to
adopt this device to economic space.
OF all mistakes, do not make the es-
pecially offensive one of sending per-
fumed paper, though the number of
cultured women who do thus sin
against good taste is surprisingly
large.-April Delineator.

This is made by placing a table
spoonful of faXseed in a little more
than a pint of cold water. Put over
the fire and boil fifteen or twenty
minutes. Remove, strain, add the
juice of lemon and sweeten to
taste. Allow children to drink a
few swallows every hour or so, and

To boil meat so as to retain the
juices and soluble salts, and yet
cook it sufficiently, it should be
plunged into boiling water boiled
rapidly for about ten minutes.
After this fast cooking the kettle
must be pushed over TO the back of
the fire, where its contents will SIM
mer gently This tends to coagulate
the outer rind of the meat so that
the juices connot escape. If meat is
treated in this manner, the inside
will be found juicy and tender, but
if the meat is allowed to boil, it will
be found hard and chippy, the good
ness having all boiled out of it.

New Uses for Glass.

Glass seems to be coming fabric
for dresses, and even undergar-
ments. In Venice an enterprlsing
manufacturer is turning out textile
from the threads of spun glass, of
which dresses, bonnets and curtains
are made. The woman who adopts
this novel fabric will be quite indie
pendent of the cleaner and the
laundress, as the garments of this
material need only be cleaned with
soap and water. They are practical
ly indestructible, neither fade nor
crush, and can be had in lovely
colorings and designs. There is a
peculiar sort of stone found in the
depths of Siberia, which by a
patented proce is drawn into
tilaments and woven. This
peculiar textile is thrown in
to the fire in order to cleanse
it, and possesses the indestructi-
BILE properties of asbestos. Both
of these new materials take the
most brilliant and delicate dyes, and
have a lustre as exquisite as the
finest silk.

Jewelled Collars.

The jeweled collars, so fashionable,
are about IL inches in width and
form close fitting band about the
neck. Some are set with pearls,
some with diamonds and turquoise,
and some with diamonds alone.
Equally fashionable are several
strings of pearls graduated and uni
ted at intervals by little diamond
set bars.

Black trimmings will be marked
feature of many spring costumes;
black trimmings that suggest black
gloves and black hats to complete
the effect. Thus blue cloth gown
is trimmed with black lace fiounces,
and the tiny jacket is edged with IA
black frill. Dainty silks are
trimmed with ruffles of black lace
or black chiffon. A black lace jack
ct is stylish adjunct to u blue and
black silk. A green cashmere
trimmed with black lace makes a
pretty afternoon at home gown.
Net trimmings are very effective,
especially those covered by Oriental
patterns blazing with gold thread
and mock jewels. Appliqued velvet
or cloth, in different shade from
the goods of the dress, is another
effective trimming. One imported
costume illustrates how elaborate
trimmings may be. In this case the
cloth of the gown is cut out in in
tricate patterns and the perforations
are surrounded by embroideries in
cOlOred silks and spangles.
The new cOlors, as shown by the
French color cards, are rather novel.
The prevalence of pink and red tints
is noted at once. There is a deep,
brilliant red, cherry red and a
yellowish red, beside the jac-
queminOt tints, already known.
Green comes next in preference, in
bright, clear shades, both light and
dark, but there is no yellowish green,
this tint having had its day. Grays
and browns do not vary much from
other seasons. Bright French blue
is favorite, as are the different
navy shades. There are number
of blush-viOlet shades, and six yell
low, beginning with cream. Tur-
quoise is still on the list.
Russo green, argent gray, golden
tan, medium brown, Parme violet,
maize yellow and bright blue may
be mentioned as good spring colors.

Spring Styles.

Box plated backs are a feature of
the new shirt waist.
A favorite style for shirt waists is
to have tucked yoke. The sleeves
are also tucked to the elbow.
The removable collars and cuffs of
shirt waists are somewhat narrower.
Some of the leg o'mutton sleeves
has slight fullness at the cuff; others
have none at all.
A butterfly puff on close fitting
sleeve must be draped high.
Fluffy neck-wear is, if possible,
more stylish than ever.
The skirts of shirt waists may be
seen sometimes on the outside this
season.
Heliotrope and red are two of the
seasons fashionable colors.
High collars will charact 9rize
spring millinery.

dow that will be of interest to the

A coarse sponge may also be sus-

Dampen the sponge and sprinkle
with grass, clover, mustard or flax
seed. Before many days the sponge
will be pretty ball of living green.
The sponge must be kept very wet,
and when the grass grows brown in
spots, pull it out and sprinkle the
place with fresh seeds.
Another way is to cut piece of
flannel of the size of saucer or the
middle part of plate. Sprinkle the
flannel with seeds, place on the win
dow seat and keep dampened with
water. The flannel will become a

Vagariies

Ia the United States the Govern
ment allows rebate to the manu-
facturers on all agate ware shipped

fine points in the tariff question,
and enables the foreign importers to
compete with dealers in the United
States in the sale of these articles.
1t makes it possible for our Gus

at lower prices than they can buy
them in San Francisco. The APP.

articles in this line sold by us, aud
where more than one price is graded
