white ribboners generally, to contribute to this
column reports of meetings or items that will be
of interest to workers in other parts of the

1G-Comment by Rev. s. II. Doyle.
ToPIc.-Reverenee for sacred things.-Ex. lii.
Ia
Reverence is virtue that needs to
be inculcated today as seldom ever be-
fore. We are Hing in an age charac-
,terized by irreverence. The beliefs and
traditions of the past are treated in the
most dippant manner. In the home
the respect of children to parents is
sadly lacking. There is not the re-
spect for authority and for those who
are In places of authority that there
once was. 1t is not to be wondered at
that IL 5 spirit should also pervade the
atmosl lere of religion and should man.
ifest itself there. That this has been
the case is only too sadly true. Rever-
ence for sacred things has diminished.
Gods name is profaned and blasphem-
ed, Gods day is not kept sacred and
holy unto Him, and Gods book is most
lightly esteemed by man. This is a
sad condition of affairs and also a seri-
Gus one, for, while man may hold those
guiltless who profane sacred things,
God will not. His name, His day, His
house and His revelation are the OBJ
jeets of His love and care, and punish
ment will be melted out to all who dis
honor them.
Reverence for sacred things is re-
peatedly emphasized in the Scriptures.
Moses beside the burning bush, in
which God appears to him to reveal
His will to him, is taught lesson up
on this subject. He approaches too
closely the place made sacred by the
presence of God. God calls out to him:
Draw not nigh hither. Put off thy
shoes from off thy feet, for the place
wherein thou standest is holy ground"
And Moses, when he was conscious of
Gods presence, ''hid his face, for he
was afraid to look upon God" As the
angels veil their faces in the presence
of God and exclaim, Holy, holy, holy,
Lord God AlmightyF' so Moses in Gods
presence was filed with humility and
cody fear. The teaching of Scripture
throughout is that sacred things =
things made sacred by the presence of
God-should be considered holy and
should be respected and reverenced.
God has also declared in His word
that irreverence shall receive His dis
pleasure and severe punishment. "The
Lord will not hold him guiltless who
taketh His name in vain" And what
is true of the name of God is true of
His day, His house, His word. God
has often severely punished irrever-
ence. Hophni and Phineas, sons of
Eli, were punished for their gross dis
honoring of sacred things. The hands
that too lightly esteemed the ark and
touched it were forever stilled. And
thus God teaches by precept and ex-
ample that He will punish those who
profane sacred things. Let US take
warning and guard ourselves against
the irreverent tendency of the age.
Let US reverence sacred things. Let
us honor God and all that is holy.
Then God will honor US.

have not tried this in my orchard for the
reason that the whole of It is infested with the
ants and 1t would need bi-sulphide by the quart
to do the work, but will state that my gloxinias
were infested with an insect of the spring tail
family and nothing would destroy them till
tried that put the bulbs in a large flower pot
and put little of the bi-sulphide of carbon on
some cotton and put 1t among the bulbs and
covered 1t tight for about half an hour. After
giving the bulbs a rest set them out and they
started finely. have now two in bloom and
others budded, the first blossoms have had for
three years. One leaf on one plant measures
ten inches and the blossoms are nearly three
inches across.
If any one has but a few ant hills, have no
doubt but they can be destroyed by the method
given, but catching them in traps is no good.
If the queen ant could be caught and the eggs
destroyed, the trouble would be over, but as
long as an egg is left the colony will be con-
tinued like those of bees.
By the way, much useful information is to be
found in the bulletins mentioned, which are
free to any one in the State who applies to the
secretary, b. Walker McKeen, Augusta, NJ aine.

to live requires nourishment. Food is not
nourishing until it is digested. A dis

Low Dressed coinures.

With the present low style of hair
dressing it is absolutely necessary to
have the hair full and loose in the front
and, of course, ondule. There are a few
very exclusive people wearing it
straight, but it will never become really
popular.
All sorts of ornaments are worn in
the evening, and indeed in the daytime
Partisan combs are much de rigueur-
A wide black velvet bow is always be-
coming whether worn across the front
or at the back of the head. Tsaras of
diamonds are much en- evidence at the
best balls, while a single flower can be
coquettishly worn in Japanese fashion
by the right woman. But such details
as the wearing of ornaments and the
placing of a flower are matters to be
decided by the individuality of the
Wearer
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1901-04-27

The coming season will be an excep-
tionally expensive one in the way of
dress, as there is a decided feeling in
favor of adopting the most costly fab
RIGS for making up into blouse bodices
and skirts for evening wear. Jeweled
passementerie and tinseIed trimmings
of every kind are already in great de-
mand, and real lace is being used in
profusion for the ornamentation of ia
BILE d'hote bodices. Blouses for dinner
wear are of the most elaborate descrip-
ton. but the skirts continue to be plain
~ made. and so long as this particular
style remains popular the cost Of a
lady's evening attire will be inconsider-
able if made at home.
Fortunately, this is an easy matter
nowadays, as suitable lengths for max
ing up a blouse or a skirt can be ac-
quired for a very small outlay on rem
nant days; added to which the modern
paper patterns are so easy to under
stand as to render a previous knowl-
edge of dressnraking altogether unnec-
essary.
Dresses for ordinary wear during the
earlier part of the day are of the plain
est description, the most popular style
being a loose fitting flannel blouse
mounted on to a tight fitting lining and
made to fasten up the left side. About
three and one-half yards of fancy fan
mel or two and one-half yards of ordi-
nary double width wooden material
would be suf1cient to make a full size
blouse, and four and one-half yards OF
double width frieze would make a nice.
full skirt suitable for everyday wear.
The most useful shaped skirt for wear
ing with blouses of any kind is in five
pieces-i. E., a front, side piece for each
side and two narrow backs. The skirt
fits tightly to the figure right round.
All the remaining fullness is then gath
cred on to the waistband equally each
side of the center of back seam.

THE PUNISHMENT OF
SENSITIVE CHILDREN.

Those children who are scolded and
punished for the least delinquency Ell
Their become hardened in wrongdoing
or demoralized by fear. In the latter
case demoralized is certainly not too
strong a term for the results which fol-
low injudicious punishments- A nerv-
GUS child becomes so afraid of doing
wrong that at last he loses the power of
discerning between what is wrong and
what is right and naturally chooses the
course which he thinks least likely to
lead to chastisement. He will descend
to any amount of deceit and story tell
ing to save himself from the results OF
his wrongdoing, and it is entirely out
of the question that, if his first years
are passed in such q mistaken and per-
verted way he should ever grow up
into an honest and straightforward
man.
When children show themselves to be
abnorma1ly sensitive and nervous, they
should be treated in a totally different
way to the others who are healthy and
boisterous, but they must not be spoil
ed, for that would simply aggravate the
evil. They should have the benefit of a
frequent change of air, especially to
the seaside. No stimulating drinks,
such as coffee, tea and beer, must be
given. The food must be quite plain.
but wholesome and nourishing-fish,
eggs, vegetables. cooked fruit and plen-

tonic a daily dose of cod liver oil and
steel wine cannot be improved upon.
