viewed the work of the society. The So

of aiding the poor in the vicinity of the

needy with clothing, food and shelter;
finding work for the unemployed and
bringing the u%nchurched into the fold.

Eckman talked for half an hour n
gave the ladies a great deal of excel

He said that the whole scheme of the
Christian life consists of being some
thing divine and doing something divine.
We become something divine when we
become regenerated, and the motives
which should impel us to do something
K6tVtnH are FIRST fhR great &C of i'm

There ought not to be one member of
a church congregation who was not en-

activity in the Christian life means the
death spiritually Of the Christian.

In Being Able to Design.
The smart girls latest fad is TO de-
sign, and to design some very com
1nonplace belongings. That is TO say
she hasn't taken up modelling in clay
or the designing of carpets or rugs,
but she is happiest when she can tell
YOU that the hat, gown. or jacket which
she wears was designed by herself.
Sometimes she is able to add that she
made it, but oftener she grows enthus-
iastic. describes the picture she drew
first in black and white. then in water
colors. and then how out of tissue pa
per she cut the practical pattern. She
and a number of her kind joined a
dressmalSing class last winter, and the
result is a shirt waist sale next week for
some special charity. Each bodice must
bear the name of its designer and its
maker, and the proudest girl is the one
who both designed and made the pretty
blouse which is her Offering. Them
too. she is studying up interior deco
ration. Mamma permits her to ar-
range certain effects in the reception
room, in her own room, or wherever
change is needed.
One of her wisest studies has been
learning how to set a table artistically
and at the least expense. When you
think of the days when girls were
given over to making that useless lace
out of twine or putting silk pieces to.
gether to form that abomination
known as the crazy quilt, it certainly
does seem as if the girl of to-day. not
permitted TO go out into society at a
very early age, is teaching herself some
thing that win be worth while wher
she is the mistress of house.-Cht

Journalism has been introduced among
the inmates as curative measure, and
the innovation has been attended with
excellent results. Some physicians de-

he received appropriate treatment and
eventually recovered. DR.. Andrew Wyn-

saved the Declaration OF lndepcnd-
ence from british Hands.
The capture, invasion and burning OF
our national capital by British forces
under Admiral Cockburn are graphical
~ recalled by Clifford Howard. Mr..
Howard lucidly tells of the incidents
leading up to the invasion, and
pictures the terror and excitement
OF the people of Washington, who
fed, shouting, screaming, jostling
one another under foot, into Nir-
ginia as the enemy approached.
President Madison had gone to the
front. andihis wife was anxiously await
ing his return, in fear for his safety.
The white house attaches had nearly
all deserted their posts, but Mrs. Madi.
son had packed all her husband'spapers
and records. and as she was about &c
abandon the house bethonght herself
of Gen Washington's portrait. The
heavy frame inclosing it was broken
by servant with an AK. and she re
moved the canvas with her own hands,
keeping it from falling into the hands
of the enemy.
sit was them writes Mr.. Howard
"iust as she was in the act of hurry
ing away. that Dolly Madison was seized
with an inspiration that will ever cause
her name to live in the heart OF every
true American. She stopped to think
What if the white house should be
burned( Did it contain anything Of
value to the government that she had
neglected? The declaration of in.

mind this most precious of all docu'
ments. Carefully treasured in a case
apart from other papers it had been
overlooked in the worriment and con.
fusion. 1t must be saved at all hazards!
Without a moment's hesitation she
turned and rushed back into the house
'Stcpl for heavens sake. stopl' cried her
friends. vainly endeavoring to intercept
her. Regardless of their commands,
regardless of her danger, the brave
woman sped to the room containing the
treasure for which she was willing tc
sacrifice her life. Without attempting
TO open the glazed door Of the case she
shattered the glass with her clenched
hand. snatched the priceless parchment
and, waing it exultantly above her head
hurried to the door, where she entered
her carriage and was rapidly driven
