of David, who was possessed of bad ambi-

thwart the divine will and seized the scepter
from Solomon for himself. Adonijah
thought more of seeming than Of being and
was thus prompted to attempt the seizure
of the scepter, which was a bad ambition,
which its disastrous ending proved to be the
best way of vanquishing. Rev. Hoyt said:

The spirit of the Christian Endeavor con-

are hundreds of northern and central Cali
fornia Endeavorers to be seen on every
side, but many hundreds of Southern CAL
ifornians are also in attendance. The meet
ings of yesterday grew in vigor and enthu-
siasm as the day heightened, until at night
it was found necessary to hold an overflow
meeting in the Emmanuel Presbyterian
church. Last nights session proved spe-
cially interesting. Rev. Wayland Hoyt, a
member of the board Of trustees of the ma
tional union of Philadelphia delivered a
stirring address, which will undoubtedly
leave many traces on the hearts of his hun
dreds of hearers. The work of the conven-
tion is progressing with dispatch and inter-
est. and as most of the committee work is
done in quiet session the public meetings
are especially interesting.

/. London Telegraph: Crowds Of people
from all parts of Kent-many even
travelling from London by train or cy-
cle-visited the quiet, remote and sleepy
village of Biddenden, not far from
Tenderden, for the purpose Of celebrat-
ing the memory of the Two Maids of
that ancient hamlet, who were the
original precursors of the Siamese
twins. In life they were joined to-
gether by mysterious cord of flesh,
and they died on the same day, leaving
their property to be distributed among
the poor of the parish, and among all
who care to apply for dole of bread
and cheese on Easter day. This bene-
faction has been in existence for six or
seven centuries, and at present Its value
is about 5000 a year Formerly the
doles consisted of bread and cheese and
ale, but the latter produced so much
hilarity in the village that it was abol-
ished, and the charity is now limited
to the two first mentioned nutritive ar
ticies, The bread is made up in the
form of cakes, bearing a rude repre-
sentation of the Twin Maids Of Bid

curiosities by the recipients. They are
baked very hard, and are admirably
adapted to give work to dentists by

thirty inches square and bound with
ribbon, will be found very useful while

Ear They are easy to wrap around the
paDy after bath and when ready for
nap. Little sacks are also needed,
ana can be knitted in white with pink
and blue borders, or be made of Scotch
outing flannel or cashmere. These
can be made on short yoke, or can
hang straight from the neck, and be
trimmed with a broad collar and tied
with a ribbon in front. Two or three
wrappers can be simply made, prefer
ably of Scotch flannel, either on a yoke
or with cluster of tucks across the
'front.'. Three or four knitted blankets
are necessary, and can be made of light
PINK, blue or white. White, as a rule,
washes best. The long coat can be
made Of silk, cashmere, or any soft
white goods. 1t should be lined with
thin silk, so as to slip on and off
easily, and if a winter coat, lined
throughout with lambs wool. 1t can
be trimmed with a wide collar or a
round shoulder cape if desired A lit
tie cap should go with the coat. made
Of the same material and lined if for
winter, but in summer the dainty little
muslin caps are the best.
The baby's basket is a delightful lit
tie article to plan about, and can be
made in variety of ways. The long
low shape is perhaps the most CON
venient. If it is to be trimmed at
home tuck cotton batting on to the
sides, which have been sprinkled with
orrts powder, and then cover with
whatever material is desired. Rose or
light blue silk Is pretty foundation,
covered with either a fine dotted mus
lin of point d'esprit lace. The muslin
or lace should be sewed on full, but the
silk can be put on plain. A Powered
silkolene can be used in place of these.
This, of course, should be put on full.
as 1t does not have the lace over It. A
big satin bow at the side or on the top
makes a pretty finish. In the tray are
kept the baby's toilet articles, and in
the underneath part of the basket the
baby's clothes. The tray should con-
tain a pin cushion on which are the
assorted sizes of safety pins. A little
cup-shaped bag can be made of rubber
cloth covered with whatever material
the basket is trimmed with, and sewed
into one corner of the tray for the ba-
by's sponge, which should be small and
fine. A piece of good soap in little
disk, a powder box and puff, bottle
of Vasellne, a small box of borax, a
quarter Of pound roll of absorbent
cotton, roll Of old linen and a pair of
small blunt-pointed scissors. These lit
tie things are constantly needed, and
should always be on hand.
