SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

The engineering shops of the Univer-
sity of Michigan recently completed a
speakers stand for the platform of
University hall. The new stand is adj
Unstable as to height and angle of in

President Eliot, of Harvard, is
good horseman and frequently spends
apart of his vacations in riding through
New England. When at such times
he passes country schoolhouse he

the school is in session.
Rev. w. G. Archer, business manager
of Lincoln university, tells the story
of an old lady in Thornton home who
had but $1O0 in the world, the income
from which is six dollars. Out of this
income she gives one dollar year to
the endowment of Lincoln university.
1t is refreshing to find case of con-

Haines Gauge company of Philadelphia
declines to furnish apparatus for the
ships of the United States navy on the
ground that the proprietors are MEM

opposed to war. This is the first case
of the kind on record.
The report of the churches in the
Chicago presbytery, just issued, gives

This is said to be due to severe prun-

missionary and philanthropic purposes
during the year amounted to $3.50, 243,

they are more spiritual, but because
they are unconventional and sincere
to the last degree.-Ian Maclaren, in
Ladies' Home Journal.
Archbishop Temple, of Canterbury,
is always made impatient of bores, es-
pecially clerical bores. One of the
clergy of his diocese who had pestered
him a good deal recently wrote an
Unfortunately long letter describing
picture which he proposed to put up
in the chancel of the church, and ask
ing permission to do so. BY the time
his grace reached the end of the
epistle his patience was quite exhaust
ed. and he replied on a post card: Dear
Biank-Hang the pictured" The cler-
gyman is still wondering how he ought
to regard the reply.

THE cHILDREN's ROOM.
1t Should Be Made a Place of Beauty
Instead of for CASTOR
Furniture.

IF there be any Dom in the house
which is destined to receive the over
flow of furniture, broken and mis-
matched odds and ends, you may de-
pend upon it that room is the nursery
or ''children's ROOM" says the San
francisco Chronicle.
Many mothers wonder why their lit
tie sons and daughters are SO fond of
running the streets, preferring always
60 be out of the house and away from
home. Exercise in the open air is the
best exercise, but everything can be
overdone, and the children should be
taught that some part of each day must
be spent indoors.
1t does not always occur to parents
that the simplest explanation of their
children's desire to be forever on the
go is because they have no place at
home sufficiently attractive to hold
them there.
The nursery should be made place
of beauty to the little ones. Instead
of half-worn and cast-off furniture it
should be furnished with an entirely
sive, and is bright and cheerful in liv-
ing room.
One of the prettiest adjuncts to a
child's room is a picture screen. Make
the screen of plain blue or red denim
on light wood frame and fasten the
pictures on it with small brass paper
clamps. Every child has-its own col
lection of photographs and picture
cards, and when these are arranged
artistically the effect is dainty.
A toy closet with ample shelf room
is another requisite of the nursery.
The children should be taught that
this closet must be kept in order or 1t
will soon show an accumulation of lit
ter. A weekly renoyating will keep ii
fairly clean.
If there be cushions in the nursery
they should have good strong covers
of denim fastened on by buttons and
button holes SO that they can be read
lily removed and Numbered when soiled.
The draperies for the small toilet a.
bles, curtains, etc, should be of fine
white muslin, capable of enduring in
Vulnerable washings. 1t is well to have
two sets if possible, SO that they may
be changed every week or SO and kept
in spotless cleanliness.
There is no color so valuable in deco
ration as blue, nor one from which so
many schemes may be evolved. For a
sunny room blue may be used entirely,
as far as wall papers. carpets oil
draperies are concerned, or blue and
green.
A blue and green room looks best
with green stained furniture, and is
more appropriate for library or bed
room, but as this furniture is found
sometimes in 6ining-rooms and halls
it may be used there also. For hall
blue "Delamere" paper lends itself we'll
to a blue and green scheme, but the
green must be carefully chosen, as far
as curtains are concerned.
An artistic though inexpensive dim
ing-room for small house can be well
carried out in blue and green. AS there
will be but little space the walls may be
painted in pale blue, and the wood
work should be in deeper shade.

WASHING THE FACE.
Nothing Else In Quite az Helpful for
Clearing the skin from All
Impurities.

The story is told of a young wom-
an who was afflicted with blackheads
visiting o physician in search of a
remedy for the Disagreement, and
being politely and candidly told to
wash her face thoroughly in plenty of
hot water and soap and keep it clean.
Not every physician is frank enough
to tell his patient the true cause of
Nblackheads" or the failure of the fine
sebaceous glands of the face to do
their work and cast out impurities
from the skin. When for any reason
whatsoever these oil glands are
clogged, what is popularity known as
''blackheads" appear. This is simply
a collection of impurities in the
mouth of the gland, which it has not
force enough to throw off. These
f'blackheads" appear often on the nose
and in the space between the eyes
because the sebaceous glands are
very abundant in these places. The
only remedy for "blackheads" is to
stimulate the glands to do their work
by washing the face with plenty of
hot water, using just as hot water
as one can bear. Use pure white
CASTLE soap to assist in the slim
ulating and cleansing process. Large
''blackheads" must often be pressed
out, and if there is any irritation a
little cold cream should be used. This
cold cream is made of almond oil, and
mot lard or mutton tallow, as most
of the cold cream of commerce are
made. Coarse animal fats, like lard
or mutton tallow, clog up the glands
themselves and produce "black-
heads" Steaming the face by laying
cloths wrung out in water as hot as
you can bear it helps to clear the
skin from impurities.
A person afflicted with "blackheads'
and pimples, which are the legitimate
result of ''blackheads," has scientifi-
ically "dirty face" no matter how
many times it has been washed in a
conventional manner. Sponges and
all wash cloths should be scalded fire.

COULD SEE NO WAY OUT.
Management of the Lunch Room Had
Made Provisions for Collect
ing All Checks.

The man with the retreating forehead
walked into the bakery lunch joint
just as if he intended to hang up his
check and climbed on stoo, in scared
way, says the Chicago Chronicle. The
polite Ethiopian wiped off a little spot
in front of the customer, spread out
his hands on the counter and said:
'What'll be yours?"
Whatever l get" said the man with
the retreating forehead. The waiter
b.inlsed as if he did not belong to
the Repartee club, and was dazed by the
persifage.

the waiter meekly.

RELIGION OF sovEREIGNs.
Few Who Have Occupied the
Thrones of Europe Have
Been PiOus.

Kings are rarely pious, though they
are still more rarely unbe.ievers. There
have been plenty of bad men upon
European thrones, and the lives of few
kings will bear study through an eth
ical microscope, but we can recall only
one. King Frederick the Great of Prus-
STA, who was soothing unbeliever, says
the London Spectator. He even sneered
at the British ambassador for saying
that he would do something or other
by "the help of God" and asked, with
his nose in the air, whether the Eng
lish counted God among their allies.
"Yes, your majesty" was the crushing
reply, land the only ally who asks no
subsidy from US" The temper dis
played in Frederick's Jest is, however,
most unusual among sovereigns, and
though when they win victories they
are often accused of hypocrisy for pub
iicly protesting their belief that God
rules all, and it is more probable, in
spite of their usual conduct, that the
profession has been sincere.
Many sinners believe, and sovereigns,
who perceive so plainly the complex
ty of human affairs, and the powerless-
ness even of the greatest to control
events, must feel more than any men
the necessity for aid and guidance from
some power higher than themselves.
Who else is to give success to plans
which are so large that foresight fails,
and orders must constantly be given
the future effect of which it is impos-
sible to know? 1t is certain, at all
events, that they all say so, and we see
no reason for supposing that they are
all liars, or are only going through a
form. On the contrary, the loneliness
of sovereigns, who all, however much
advised, think that they govern. their
consciousness of separate position,
and their belief that when all is said
they must bear rule by some special
permission, and therefore must have
some peculiar relation to the Most
High, all tend to make them at least
strongly convinced theists.

SHIRT WAIST HANGER.
Clever Device of Bright Girl Who
Had More Summer Clothes Than
Closet Room.

The summer girl, with her large as
sortment of gowns and shirt waists,
finds it quite problem to dispose of
the latter where they will be kept free
from crease or rumple. AS freshness
constitutes the chief charm of the shirt
waist, it must be preserved at all haz-
ard. A clever art student who had but
one closet at her disposal, and that one
filed to overlooking with all sorts of
odds and ends, from gowns to art mate
rails and sketches, set her wits to work
to solve the problem. The only unoccu-
pied space was the ceiling; she must
