THE CHURCH AND POLITICS.

In very real sense the Church
cannot take sides in party politics.
1t is not her province to dictate the
actions of men or parties, but to be
forever introducing the moral ele-
ment into men and parties. She
does not proclaim theories and
opinions; but she must always be
teaching fundamental principles and
saying those things that prick the
conscience and stimulate men to
right thinking, right acting and right
living.
The church must make the consci :
ence of the nation, not it's laws. She
must make men and parties act from
conviction, not dictate their actions.
She must demand everywhere, and a t
all times, that men act for conscience
sake, not from convenience or for
the sake of gain. And, further, she
must enforce the responsibility of
men for their convictions, and thus
convince them of the necessity of
educating their convictions. She
must not hesitate to apply the Chris
tian law to the public officer as to the
private citizen, to the acts of a legis :
lature as to the acts of an individual,
to the relations of nations as to re-
lations between man and man. She
must "bring religion into every cor
ner of human society, and make it's
principles heard forever in all the
relations between man and man. -
The Clurchman.

which platinum wire can be drawn
will be realized from the fact that
threads have been drawn, two of
which can be twisted together and
inserted within the hollow OF a hu-

glass to see them.

INCREASE IN LUMBER BUSINESS.

are talking as though the wave of
prosperity had struck them, said Mr..
Watterson, of the Lunoberme7a's Ec-
change The movement of stock to
the country has been increasing for
the last two weeks and the volume or
business has now reached such pro-
portions that that the Southern mills
are all running three or four hours
overtime to keep up with their or
ders. Some of the mill owners claim
that they are running their planning
mills night and day, and that even at
that rate they will have no surplus
stock.
Prosperity talk is freely INDUCED in
around the Lumberneo's Exchange,
and it is there learned that the West
ern trade is now running ahead of the
Eastern. Up to a month ago the trade
in the Eastern states was far better
than that in the West. Every rail-
road running in the West fell short
from 200 to 500 cars of lumber during
the first six months Of the year as
compared with the corresponding
period of last year, while the Eastern
roads were running ahead of last
YEARS business The Western roads
are now taking the lead, although the
Eastern roads are still handling the
more stock than they did at this time
last year.
This large increase in the Western
business is accounted for by the un-
usually bright crop conditions. For
two years the trade in this district
was not normal, owing to the fact
that the farmers had little money
with which to build. The wear and
tear and general deterioration of
machinery the last two years and the
storing of this years. heavy crops
have necessitated repairing and new
building, and the farmers are now in
condition to have the work done. 1t
is not usual for the wholesale dealers
to have heavy demands at this season
of the year, the spring and fall being
the periods when the county retailers
ordinarily stock up, but this they did
very lightly last spring and since then
they have been carrying minimum
stocks, which are now badly depleted.
When one after another the whole
sale dealers say that they have all the
business they can handle an advance
in prices is expected. Prices took an
upward movement about ten days
ago, and there will probably be an
other advance in the near future.
Lumbermen say that there is no or
gained effort for price advancement,
but that this advance is simply the
natural result of a healthy and in
creasing demand.
"a, local consumption of stock has
not yet materially increased, but
brisk trade is expected this fall when
the crops begin to move. It is only
yellow pine that has been much af-
fected up to date, but as ST. Louis is
the leading market Of the world for
that wood, and as it can come nearer
to controlling the output of the mills
than any other two markets, the i'm
proved conditions are looked upon
with much satisfaction by the whole
sale men, and all are sanguine that
other woods will soon fall into line in
the upward tendency.

RINGS ON HER TOES.
Gotham Society Girls ornnmont Their
Feet with Jewols.


In an old nursery rhyme there wa9
a lady who cultivated what then seem
cd tho remarkable habits Of wearing
rings on her fingers and bells on her
toes" Hor descendant, the society
woman Of today has IN reversing the
old arrangement inau6urGtod still
more remarkable habit, says the New
York World. Many Of the rings which
the modern woman wears do actually
have bells on them; and as for wearing
rings on her toes, that Is now an es-
tabllFhed custom. Toe rings are not
yet yslble in the jewelers. windows,
because they are as yet made only to
OH special orders; but II the fashion
10 followed up, as It Is likely to be,
they will soon be as plentiful as brace
let's or silver hatpins, There are, as
It will be surmlsed, a great many oc-
casions on which the toe ring cannot
be worn, 1t is not worn In daytime
under Il shoe, nor in the evening un-
der slipper But there are times
when II is allowed to shine forth in
all It's glory and one Of these times Is
whom It's owner Is taking Turkish
bath, The pride and delight which
society women take in their prOttily-
shaped oXqulsltely cared for feet pos
slbly In most cases dates to only a
short time ago but II Is certain that
since at present a beautiful foot h
moro valuable than ever before, and
any doyco calling attention to It's at
tractlyenos8 ~ most carefully cult.
yatod A toe ring serves just this
purpose Now, when the woman Of
many fads Joins n Turkish bath party
she does not under an Impulse OF
mistaken modosty, conceal her feet
from view. She rather allows them TO
be as conspicuous as tho conditions
will allow, while her friends arc on
courogod to admire openly their white
ness and Blonderness, As a mark Of
extreme novelty sho now places on
