RESOLUTIONS.

On the morning of December %, 1896
Mrs. Florence Allen Moore, an honored
member of the Baptist Sunday-sch
passed into the life of the better world
"Out of the pain of night-watching re-
moved
Into the sleep that God gives His be-
loved,
Into the dawn of a glad resurrection,
Into the house of unbroken affection,
Into the joy of her Lord-thence con-
Tossing
Death in disguise is His angel in bless
ing"
At the early age of thirteen she joined
the church and devoted her life, with
rare conservation, to life's noblest end,
She was very close student of Gods
word. One of her sweetest joys was to
teach her class in Sunday-school, and
the one great object she kept ever in
view was to lead her pupils to the
Savior whom she found so precious
therefore, be it
ReSoJUed, That in the removal of Mrs.
Moore from our Sunday-school, we have
lost teacher whose example is worthy
of emulation, and whose record as a
Sunday. school worker will linger long
and tendelly in our hearts.
ReSOlUed, That, through the merits of
Jesus Christ whom she trusted SO
implicitly, we believe she has gone from
the labors of this life to the glories of
eternity.
Resolved, That we extend our sympa-
thy to the bereaved mother and hus-
band, to whom we commend the all
sufficient grace of the Lord whom she
loved and faithfully served.
Resolved, That copy of these resOlu-
tons be sent to the family, and also to
the COLUMBIA HERALD and Baptist and
Reflector for publication.

Good Whitewash.

A good, durable whitewash is
made as follows: Take half bush
ell of freshly burned lime, Stake it
with boiling water; cover it during
the process, to keep in the steam.
Strain the liquid through a fine
sieve and add to it7 pounds of salt
previously dissolved in warm water,
3 pounds of ground rice boiled into
paste and stirred in boiling hot,
half pound of powdered Spanish
whiting, pound of clean glue
which has been previously dissolved
by soaking it well and then hanging
it over a slow fire in a small kettle
within large one filled with water.
Add gallons of hot water to the
mixture, stir it well, and let stand

must be put on quite hot. For
this purpose it can be kept in a ket-
tie on portable furnace. About a
pint of this mixture will cover d

The members of Benton Lodge can
sincerely, deeply and most affection
ately sympathize with aunt Mile in
this her great loss and affective be-
reavement. But we can say to her that
He who tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb, looks down with infinite compass
sion upon her, and will fold the arms
of his love and protection around those
who put their trust in Him.
By the death of Bro. Goodwin the
members of Benton Lodge are admOn-

endless duration" Then let us improve
this solemn warning that at last, when
the sheeted dead are stirring, when the
great white throne is set, we shall re-
ceive from the Omnicient Judge, the
thrilling invitation, "Come We blessed,
inherit the kingdom prepared for you
for the foundation of the world"
ReSOLUed, That this tribute be spread
upon the minutes of the lodge, also a

The Latest in Hairdressing.

Again the pOmpadour couture is
the rage in Paris. Some venture
some spirit started the fashion, it
was promptly taken up by the fore
most Parisians, and to Americans
the fact that the Countess Castel-
lane Immediately adopted it will be
an excellent guarantee for its prompt
success in New York. The revival
of this stately couture shows beyond
a doubt that the effort to revive
fringes and friz2es has been a COM
plete failure.
Women who have been actively
engaged in initiating the Gibson
girl for the past few years cannot
so abruptly relinquish the satisfac-
ton of displaying their pretty white
foreheads. And if they must give
up the part which has become the
properly of the shop girl it does not
follow that they need OvershadOw
their eyes by the Old-time curly
bang. The pompadour has been Of
fered as compromise and accepted.
This does not mean, however, that
the correctly cOitfured maiden's cur
ling tOngs have accompanied her
frizz in its rapid descent from the
height of fashion. Straight hair is
no more a thing of beauty or of style
than it ever was, and the hair which
goes TO form the pompadour must be
gently but firmly waved. In fact,
the desired effect which is carefully
indicated in the illustrations can be
obtained only by an elaborate pro-
cess.
AS the first step all the hair, both
back and front, must be treated with
some etfectual curling instrument
till it is soft and wavy in its entire
length. Then the front locks, which
should be about One-half the length
of the back hair, should be separa-
ted and two semi-circular rats"
carefully insertedpnder them. Bring
the hair gently back over these, join
it with the back hair, which is most
fashionably arranged in the shape
of a "bun," and the pOmpadour is
achieved.
One distinctive feature of the
present-day pompadour is that it
must be supplemented by two tiny
little curls directly over the temples.
The Importance of these is by no
means proportional to their size, and
the New York women who are has
tening to adopt this very newest
fancy must not forget the two very
essential little love locks.-EX-

An ingenious housekeeper has hit
upon novel way of procuring but
termilk without the labor of churn-
ing. The milk is permitted to sour
and only partially skinned so as to
allow enough cream to render
it rich. 1t can be taken from the
iceboX, provided you wish it cold,
and simply beat it a few moments
with an egg beater-one that turns
with a handle is preferable-and you
have as fine buttermik as can be
made under any process. There are
so many invalids who crave it, and
yet it is often an impossibility to get
it pure and rich. 1t is usually di-
luted with water, and often there
are so many Jumps of butter floating
through it that it is not very invit-
ing, but by this mode any one who
can get any amount of milk, no mat
ter how small, can manufacture in
few moments a drink fit for the
gods.

Women Nurses.


DR.. p. S. Donnellan, L. r. C. S. L.,
lecturer on physical diagnosis in the
Philadelphia co-Chirurgical
says:
"Of all the pursuits open to women,
nursing professionally offers the
greatest advantages; but before
adopting it as profession certain
publications are essential. In the
first place, you must have an apt
ness for nursing. Nurses, like poets,
are born, not made Not that |
mean you must be a born nurse
every woman thinks she is-but
some women are naturally more fit
ted for nursing than others. You
must have distinct liking for your
calling, and not enter it solely as Il
means of livelihood. Do not ina
CINE that by spending few months
at training school, at the end Of
which you receive your diplomas
and the oOngratulations of your
friends, your golden era has begun.
No! The weary vigil by the bed
side of some poor patient and the
unpleasant duties you will some
times be called upon to perform will
test to the utmost your devotion to
your chosen calling. AS DR.. S. Weir
Mitchell has said, in addressing a
class of medical students, You can
not weigh or measure what you have
to give, and the gratitude and
thanks of your patients will in many
instances be your only reward"

To Take OFF the Dirt,

One of the best things for cleaning
boys hands is sand soap. 1t may be
made at home, and so made it is
cheaper and better than any which
can be purchased. Scrape or cut
into small pieces any pure soap and
melt it. AS soon as the soap is
melted take the dish from the fire
and stir into the mixture clean, dry
sea sand that has been heated. Use
nearly as much sand as you have
soap. AS soon as the mixture is
cool enough to handle, roll it into
balls between the palms of the
hands and put the balls into dark,
cool place to harden and dry.

sponge Cake Secrets.

You may not know that the secret
of making sponge cake is not to beat
the air all out of the eggs after it is
once beaten in. Beat the yolks to a
mass of bubbles and the whites to a
stiff frOth. Then cut them into eac h
other with a few crosswise thrusts
of a fork, and cut the eggs into the
cake mixture in the same fashion
Do not beat the cake after the eggs
are added.

WEIGH THE BABY.

How much does the baby weigh,
All i'm all? Oh, who can say?
Not his dainty flesh and bone,
Not his sweet, pink clay alone,
Not his limbs so soft and fair;
These are trifles light as air,
These are but thing apart,
When we weigh him in the heart.
Who can weigh the light that lies
In the heaven Of his eyes?
Who can weigh his sunny smiles,
Or his sweetly winsome wiles?
Who can estimate the worth
OF an angels kiss at birth
Dimples playing hide and seek
In his round and rosy cheek?
Who can know the hopes and fears
OF the mothers smiles and tears?
Who can weigh the prayers expressed
For the loved one at her breast?
Who can tell the fathers joy
Wrapped within that baby boy?
How much does the baby weigh,
All in all? All, who can say!

The ScOlding Tone.

Avoid the scolding tone. A tired
mother may find it hard to do this,
but it is she who will get most good
by observing the rule. The tone of
scolding tells upon the throat, just
where woman who is not over
strong is apt to feel the ache of eX-
IRENE fatigue. The children, too,
who are great imitators, will be sure
to catch the scolding tone, and will
talk to their dolls, to one another,
and by and by to their own children
very much as their mothers are now
talking to them.

l am glad that I have lived to see
the day when women are beginning
to discard the denominations in dress
which have been robbing them of
their good health and happiness
and usefulness as women and mem
bers of society. In my eighty-four
years of life I have noticed many
things, and one of the most distress
ing from my standpoint has been
the habit, on the part of women, of
cramping and pushing the vital
organs out of their true positions in
the anatomy, by tightly laced cor
sets. For this supposed enhance
ment of their beauty 1 have seen
women afterward pay heavy pen

they must be worn with discretion.

All who feel bound to observe it
should provide the simplest ana
lightest desserts possible, and such
as are of little food value. The des-
sert should be given and taken in the
spirit of pleasant after-thOught. 1t
is a stupid mistake to select it for its
nutrlment. The stomach and other
digestive organs have sufficient
work to perform before the last
course is served, and should be
spared any unnecessary increase.
Very sweet desserts are unde-
sirable, and cold desserts are even
more injurious unless eaten with
fastidious care. They reduce the
temperature of the stomach below
the point necessary for digestion.
This unpleasant effect may be over

NO TEST OF CITIZENSHIP.

It is said that one of the first tn .ngs to be done by congress when it gets togeJh Jher in December wiM te to pass again the bill fer the. restriction of immigration which President Cleve- land vetoed.
 The main feature of this scheme is the exclusion of all immigrant who cannot read and write. l. makes this the test of qualification for Amarican citizenship. But it is in no sense a proper or adequate tes.. It is, indeed, no test at all of the possession of these qualities which are essentially desirable. If we sim ply want to keep imm grants cut Of the country, the reading and writing test will undoubtedly serve as we l as any other arbitrary requirema D l. A law forbidding the admission of men wiah red hair or black eyes would effect the same result
 What we want is to get the b:st in the way of immigration; and by sat- ting up the arbitrary test of readin 3 and writing we shall fail to exclude some Of the worst elements and shall praVant some of the most desirable from entering. Very few of the most dangerous anarchists are unable to read and write; many of the most industrious, capable and useful men and womsnl of the peasant class i abroad lack even this degree of eiu- cation
 If immigration is to be restricted or sifted, it should be done on prac- tical Hines. Health, moral character { physical ability, industrious habits these are the qualifications for useful citizenship; and these cannot be as- certained by an examination of imni grants in reading and writing
