and pack until needed in an ice cave
or freezer. They should be served on
small plates garnished with green
leaves.
An economical suggestion for the
narrow turnover neck-bands now much
worn, is to make them from a fine
line handkerchief. One costing about
sixty cents will be of the requisite fine
ness, and it should be selected to have
a very narrow hemstitched edge. By
using the corners for the fronts and
hemstitching the inch needed to form
the backs two hemstitehed neck-bands
may be first made. From the material
left two more bands may be fashioned,
their edges being roll-hemmed and fin
ished with fine narrow lace set on not
too full. For the foundation band any
bit Of sheer lawn may be used. The
beauty Of these little trifes is their
daintiness and tineness. Care should
be taken that they are carefully fitted
to the size of the neck-band, their eff
feet being destroyed if they lap over
at the back.

The temple stands on Broad street,
three-quarters of a mile from the State
capitol. 1t is placed sixty feet back
from the street line and has a twelve
foot driveway or the west and thirty
two feet of lawn on the east.
The temple is built of a light blush
sandstone and has a red tile roof.
All the social rooms are very COM
pletely furnished. The halls and cor
ridors also are finished in colored mar
bles and valuable hard wood.
Looking through the arched openings
by which the foyer is connected with
the auditorium, sees first circular
rows of quarter-sawed oak pews, di-
vided by aisles, in which a new and
striking curve has been introduced, and
then the minister's platform, immedi-
ately back of which is the great organ
and the space occupied by the choir of
forty voices, which leads in the sing
ing that is so much of a feature in the
temple services.
The platform, which is bare of every
thing resembling the old-fashioned pull
pit, its furniture being a comfortable
tete-a-tete, a small ebony table and an
onyx stand OF flowers, is surmounted
by an unmistakable proscenium arch
and has boxes at the right and left.
These are really retiring rooms, fur
nished to correspond with the foyer,
but the heavy plush curtains that hang
in the arched openings permit the
spaces to be utilized for seating pur-
poses whenever necessary. The floor
of the auditorium has a decided slope
to it, as has also the spacious gallery
that circles around it, and the further
ends of which gracefully swell to cor
respond with the box effect below.

Looking In the church you would be
reminded a little of a theatre, for there
is a lobby and there are boxes" fire
escapes and a check-room for wraps.
There is also that which no theatre
has-a kitchen and a dining room; be-
sides these there is a bicycle parlor.
An Ideal Church.
While a Chicago architect constructed
the church the women of the congrega-
ton were back of it, and were respon-
sible for it. The church, visitors say,
is more like a religious club at which
all assist. Churches, by the way, are
divided into two classes the world over.
One class depends upon its clergyman,
who is a mar Of great e~loquence and
whO is the great drawing card or at
traction for the whole church; when
the minister leaves the church, too
Often it gradually runs down and sinks
into insignificance.
Then there is another kind of church
winch Is run by me members. Inc
pastor is a good man, but not neces-
sarilg an eloquent one. But behind his
uttennces the congregation see the fine
spirit which animates him, and the fact
that he is a Servant of God" useful to
them in time of trouble and to be de-
pendd upon at all times, makes him
and Seeps him at the head of the
churcl. The church is supported by
fairs, sociables, sewing societies and
the lie, and is cheered by picnics and
other matters of a social nature.
While it is not to be said that this
church in Columbus is of the latter
characer, for it has always had a very
eloqueat pastor, it can be truthfully
said tat the church is equipped now
with al the means for self-preserva-

has boiled awhile by dropping a little

becomes hard and almost brittle it is

WOhbRS CHURCH
IN COLUMBUS.

The Fair ParfshiOners Have Con-
a House of Prayer Which
is as Comfortable as a Playhouse.
The people of Columbus can not COM
plain that they have no church as COM
Portable as the theatre. 1t has for
years been a stock complaint among
the males Of any family that church
seats were uncomfortable and for that
reason they did not care to attend Sum
day services. They have also said that
the air was bad and they were not al
lowed the same liberty as in a theatre.
If they were uncomfortable they could
not get up and go out a few minutes,
for there was no place to go except into
the street.
Women have also complained of this
matter and for years the theatres of the
different cities have been a standing re-
proach to the churches. The comfort
able lounging rooms, the convenient
dressing rooms, the easy chairs, and
the resting spots have all been con-
s~picuous by their absence.
But a church has just been finished
in Columbus which is a triumph to
those who designed it; they are said to
be the women of the church. 1t is the
First Baptist church, and is unique in
its arrangements for the comforts of
both the men and women Of the con-
gregation, though it must be admitted
that the plans are more for the women
than for the men.

War is not all horror and boodshed, for there are times when the soldier
boy finds himself idle in camp and does not need much encouragement to
find amusement for himself. The accompanying illustration, for instance,
from a half comic sketch by a officer in Africa, will give a good idea Of
soldier life at Camp Frere. Here thebanks of the Blaauwkrans spuit have
tmn converted into a sort of Coney Island, and during the time the British
soldiers have been stationed there the spot has been a scene of perpetual ac-
tVity and jolty. From morning till night the spruit is filled with soldier
bathers. who romp and dive and swim about the water like overgrown
children, looking little indeed like men who have Travelled a few thousand
miles bent on the destruction of their fellows. The Kaffrs also add to the
merriment of life by dancing and playing on musical instruments for the
deectaton of Tommy, who rewards them by a penny or two.

DEAR BOY LETTERS-NO. 5

My Dear BOy-YOu ask why the demo
Gratis insist that Imperialism and miIitar-
ism are the paramount issues of this
campaign"
The reason, my son, is very plain
Our democratic friends are pushing these
things to the front because there isn't
anything else for them to talk about
this year. ALI the rest of their powder
has been burnt once and won't even
fizzle this year. Their platform de-
nounces the Dingley tariff bill, but they
do not wish to meet us before the peO-
pie on that issue. The hard times under
the Wilson bill and the present pros
perity under our protective tariff fur
nish an object lesson which makes it up
hill business to argue free trade this
year.
Their platform also denounces the
gold standard legislation and demands
free coinage of silver at the ratio of IS
to l. But that powder was burnt four
years ago and events have shown the
falsity of their predictions.
They are like the boy who when
beaten playing marbles says, Lets plav
something else" Beaten on tariff and
the money question they want to plav
other issue is responsible for the coniur-
ing up OF the spectre of ''imperialism.'
But while they are not talking about
free trade or free silver, the people are
not going to forget that they are the
tree trade and free silver party. And, as
MT Lincoln used to say, that reminds
me OF little story.
One OF our excellent missionaries and
cd xx,1fo i n
nesia about fifty years ago. They
stayed there sixteen years and their
work was wonderfully successful. They
found a tribe of savages. They left q
tribe of civilized, christian people, in
dustrlous and temperate, clothed and
in their right minds"
The incident which illustrates nv
point occurred during the first year of
their residence on the island. A chief
clothed in sunshine and nothing else
called on the missionaries. They treated
him politely, but as he left the house the
missionary followed him and said:
"Chlef, we are glad to see you and want
you to come again, but in my country
men wear clothes and my wife is not ac-
customed to see men without clothing.
The next time you come to see US, won't
you please put Oh little clothing, one
or two garments at least?"
The chief promised compliance. A few
days after, he entered the missionaries
home with a satisfied smile on his face,
saying, "Me all right now"
He had on shirt collar and a pair of
socks.
My son, Mr.. Bryan and his friends are
badly deceived if they think that their
''imperialism" collar and "militarism"
socks will hide the free trade and free
silver nakedness of the democratic party

Standpoint of the Farmer,

An intelligent Missouri farmer, repre-
where the pinch of hard times was felt
so cruelty during the last democratic
administration, said recently to the
Kansas City Journal Il shall not vote
to destroy the prosperity of the country.
-Four years ago we were getting so cents
a bushel for our wheat Men were starv-
ing to death in the cities and we had an
abundance OF wheat for them, but they
had no work, and consequently were
to sell. The farmer who knows any
thing knows he cannot be prosperous
unless labor in the cities is employed,
making good market for the products
of the farm" And when be added,
Anything that interferes with COM
merce and industry is sure to bring hard
times to the farmer, and that is why the
farmer should vote to continue in power
the party which has brought prosperity
to the country" the whole case was sue
cinctly stated from the viewpoint of the
intelligent farmer.
To the extent that intelligence of this
type prevails in Kansas, Nebraska and
other states where populism literally ran
wild few years ago, the studied efforts
of Mr.. Bryan to make farmers feel poor
and dOwntrodden and in need of
change" and, above all, in need of
"help," will be barren of results, argues
the Oregonian. Farmers have exper-
fenced too recently and too sharply the
pinch of hard times not to know that
they have had the change" they needed
They do not seek to disguise from them
selves and their neighbours the fact that
they have become prosperous. Cancelled
mortgages furnish record evidence of
this fact; savings-bank deposits supple
ment the fact in irrefutable fashion; new
barns, gorgeous with red paint, and
farmhOuses made attractive and cheer
full in white, add their testimony to the
same effect; newly purchased pianos
voice it, and smartly dressed women and
children further attest it.
If the people of these states are not
enjoying a prosperous year OF a pros
porous series, they are served so well by
the semblance of prosperity that they
are content to let we'll enough alone.
They have passed beyond the stage
where the political agitator can make
them respond amen to his calamity
howl.

In speech made recently at Fails
City, says J. Sterling Morton's ConstIva-
tive, the peerless and paramount Bryan
declared that the government of Spain
transferred no title to the government
OF the United States, because Spain was
not rightful, but only forceful holder
OF the Philippines. If that be true. why
did Bryan insist upon the ratification of
a treaty which compelled the payment
to Spain of $20,OOO,OOO in gold by the
United States for an imperfect and
fraudulent title? Is Bryan a confidence
man? Is ne dealer in gold bricks? If
not, why did he aid Spain in defrauding
the United States out of $20,OOO,OOO
by means of bad title?
