The Pulpit no Place for Lazy
Man.

Bishop Bowman, of Chicago. in
a plain talk to pastors before the
East Pennsylvania Conference of
the Evangelical Association at
Reading last week said, ga lazy,
slip-shod man is not good man
for the ministry. | have been
surprised at the apparent indif-
ference with which some minis
ters perform the duties of their
holy calling. have been in the
ministry forty-one years, and in
all that time L have not been able
to take even a weeks vacation.
'Let us ever remember the
high dignity of our office and act
accordingly. l do not want to
see a minister dressed up too
much like dude, but let his APP
parel be in keeping with the dig
nifed calling.
''rhe moment we take up such
methods as necktie parties, dane
ing and euchre parties for relig-
ion it is an awful thing, and
should not be tolerated as means
to raise money for the church.
Our ministers should all be well
paid, but | know you will be will
ing to practice self denial rather
than accept money from such
doubtful sources.

Pewter Again In Fashion.

There Is a passion for pewter just
now; pewter made into all the knick-
knackery that we have for the past
few years been seeing in silver. There
is about pewter a softness and pliabili-
ty which make 1t a fascinating materi-
al with which to model, and, therefore,
besides its use for small pieces, artists
are working out some of their best de-
signs in 1t. In fact, reduced figures
from life and after the antique are be-
ing exhibited, along with those of
bronze and plaster. Smaller pieces,
happily within reach of many are bon
bonieres. trays and ash receivers.
mugs, plates and small figures. All
of these are presented in innumerable
shapes and designs.
Collectors of mugs are being made
happy by this revival of the use of
pewter. and little short of madness is
about regarding the number and rarity
of those seen at informal evening par
ties or at tother times decorating the
side walls of dining rooms. The plates
also are mostly seen as wall decora-
tions and produce stunning effect
when well hung against a brilliant
background
1t is not difficult to keep these pew
ter ornaments clean. A good rubbing
with chamois every fortnight is all that
is necessary. 1t is not desirable for
them to have the shining lustre of sill
yer; the tones of pewter should be soft
and gray.--Boston Herald.

could procure the vote of Senator

How to Wash Dishes.

Dish washing is more frequently
neglected in it's details than any other
branch of household menage. To get
the dishes washed and put away is
the only aim of the average maid,
and unless the housekeeper oversees
the work and insists upon its being
done properly, streaky plates and
rough cups with yellowed streaks
about the handles and in the creaseS
are sure to appear while broken,
niclled and cracked dishes will be her
despair. Better far cheap dishes with
out hicks and cracks and with dainty,
polished surfaces, than the finest ware
poorly cared for.
The china should never be mixed
with the cooking and kitchen utensils
and dishes. The latter should be
washed first and put away Then the
soup plates should be held under run
ming water or plunged into pan of
clean water and piled together. The
meat and fish plates and entree dishes
should be thoroughly scraped. rinsed
like the soup plates, and each kind
piled together The dessert dishes
should follow the same course. Cups
with fragile handles should occupy
an isolated position on the dish table.
Spoons with bowls all pointing one
way, and knives and forks should be
laid in separate heaps. Two good
sized pans, one for washing and one
for rinsing, and a dish drainer are all
needed, and should be placed in po-
sition, with soapsuds as strong as the
hands will bear in the dish washing
pan. First wash the glassware, then
plunge it quickly into the hot water
in the rinsing pan; place it in the
drainer and dry, and put it away as
soon as all are washed. Next wash
and dry the cups and saucers in the
same way and put them away. Then
wash, wipe and put away the silver.
cleaning the teaspoons first All the
other dishes can be washed rinsed and
drained together. Water just below
the boiling point should be poured
over the china to rinse it.
1t will take determination and pa
thence to get a maid into the habit of
washing her dishes in this way, but
it can be done, and in one family
where this method is always used bro
ken and nicked dishes are almost I'M
known. There should be no sound
from the dishes during the entire pro-
cess.

Stewed Chicken With Asparagus
Stew a fowl cut in joints and season
when half-cooked. When done remove
from the liquor, cover closely and keep
hot where it will not dry. Cook two
punches of white asparagus in the
broth and remove to five half slices of
toast. Thicker the liquid with -four,
let simmer ten minutes, then stir in
the beaten yolks of two eggs, with a
cupful of cream, seasoning if needed,
and tablespoonful of lemon juice.
Pour over the asparagus and fowl
the asparagus placed in the centre of
the platter, the fowl arranged about it
neatly.
Curried Salmon-Put in saucepan
a tablespoonful of butter and a table
spoonful of chopped onions and cook
slowly together till the onion changes
color. Add a tablespoonful of -four
and teaspoonful of curry powder;
mix with the butter then add three
quarters of pint of milk. When
smooth add more seasoning if liked;
draw to one side and simmer ten min
utes Add one pound of salmon
(canned or boiled freed from bones
and skin and broken in good-sized
pieces. Gently cook fifteen minutes
longer and serve with boiled rice in a
separate dish.

The principal things to be considered
in relation to pot flowers in rooms are
light, moisture and air, with absence
of draft. Judicious watering of plants
in room is, perhaps, the most impor-
tant fe iture in their management, a
feature that is, unfortunately, in many
cases not understood, the water being
given mechanically and with no re-
gard to change of season. By a too
eager desire for their welfare delicate
plants are often surfeited with water.
There are, of course, exceptions to
every 1ule, but in a general way the
following rules are ,applicable:
In winter keep plants mot grow
ing fast at the time) rather dry; in
spring increase the quantity of wa
ter with their activity and the suns
power-that is to say, keep the plants
in a medium state of moisture; in sum-
mer water them daily, and in autumn
decrease the amount of water given
with the length Of the day and the
returning torpidity of the plants until
the dry state of winter is again
reached. All this resolves into the
following:
Plants when grown fast may have
free supplies of water, which must
be lessened as their growths approach
maturity, until the return of their
growing season.

An Ideal Role For Hanna.

If the time should ever come, which
heaven forbid! when tie interests of
any portion of our people We're be-
lieved to require a little more bend
ing of the Constitution in order say,
to keep some man in the Presidency
for life, so that these elections so dis
turbing to business might be avoided,
Mr.. Hanna would be an ideal man to
manage the campaign. The manager
who can protest with straight face
that there is no possible political issue
involved in the Porto Rican law, or
in the bloody conquest of the Philip
pines, would be just the one to tell
the country that a law, or an edict,
making some future indispensable per-
sonage President for life, was no pos
.sible occasion for difference of opin-

Tho Constitution and the Flag.

If the Constitution does not follow
the flag, what does the flag symbolic
when the Constitution stops and the
flag advances alone2 Not the repub-
lie, for the Constitution is the bond and
seal of the republic-tear off the Con-
stitution and the republic, with it's
flag, sinks into fragments. Not GER
tainly the Government, for the Govern
ment is but the Constitution executed.
The flag is only the emblem of the
Government as the Government is only
the embodiment of the Constitution.
The flag is the sign, the Constitution
is the thing signiied. Let us have
done with the reasonable folly of try
ing to sever them. The flag without

Cannot Hide the Facts.

1t takes a good deal of nerve for
the nominee of the Republican party
to throw out of his message the sug-
gestion of prohibitory or penal legis-
lation against trusts.
The Republicans have had control
of all branches of the Government and
yet the President is not able to point
to a single action by his party look
ing to the depressing or restricting of
the trusts. There has been absolutely
no move of the Republicans which,
by the widest stretch of the magma
ton, could be construed into a desire
to in any way hamper the trusts.
The trusts are for the Republican
candidate and the Republican party,
and the Republican party and the Re,
publican candidate are for the trusts
No amount of high sounding phrasing
can hide these two facts.

DANGEROUS to the People.

All readers of history know how
dangerous to the liberties of the peo-
pie, how burdensome and what an
invitation to national aggressiveness,
a big regular army is. And the ten
dency is to constantly increase the
force. The principle or policy once
admitted the gradual increase is easy
enough. And the army once author
lied it must be recruited to it's
strength by every means possible. If
voluntary enlistments fail to accom-
plish the end, CONSUMPTION, or the gen.
eral imposition of military duty upon
all males between certain ages, must
be resorted to. 1t is idle to say that
there need be no fear of conscrip-
ton. II we must have an army we
must have it, and if young men won't
volunteer they will be forced to serve
that's inevitable. - Houston TeXas)

that the plain people of this country

We Need Idenlism.

The charge is brought against Mr..
Bryan that he is an ''idealist." 1t is
meant to be reproach. But if Mr..
Bryan is an idealist he comes along
just at the right time. What the
country is suffering from at this mo-
ment is the reign of commercialism;
what it needs is more idealism. Let
us get back to the ideal of constitu-
tional rights for all people under the
stars and stripes; the ideal Of liberia
ton, not subjugation; the ideal of a
world of republics, not satrapies or
subject colonies. If Mr.. Bryan is an
idealist he is the man for the crisis

Two Gigantic Evils.

Imperialism is great issue, but side
by side with it stands the issue of
the trusts. AS Imperialism is the foe
of the liberty traditions of the repub-
lie the trust power is the foe to the

The Republican Ice Trust.

Governor Roosevelt has devoted
much of his time and attention on the
stump (but not in his official capacity
to the ice trust, which he has declared
to be "the worst and meanest of
trusts" He will be interested to know
that, according to the published adj
missions of Charles w. Morse, Presi-
dent of the American Ice Company,
all the officers and directors and nine
ty-three per cent. of the stockholders
are Republicans! Vice-President w.
H. Gelshenen, of the ice trust direc
tory, has been said to be a Democrat,
but "even Mr. Gelshenen," Mr.. Morse
says, voted for Mckinley in 1906"
Mr.. Morse probably resents the at
tacks by Roosevelt upon trust which
is as strictly Republican and orthodox
McKinleyite as all the other trusts,
which was organized and fourishes
under Republican laws, under a solid
ly Republican State and National Adj
ministration, and which, no doubt, has
