NEW PHRASES OF MODERN CHARITY.

NTH annual session in this city the other day lis
tened to more than one OF the proverbs OF latter
day philanthropy, as pOstulated by speakers rep

OF the country. Some OF these speakers had
terse and poignant expression that gave telling

CIVIL WAR VETERANS SOCIETY

1t is to be presumed that the large majority Of

the regular meetings of the Grand Army OF the

vast amount of charitable work for others not

Each post has its relief committee which is com

To Wash al Print Dress.

The washing of & print dress well is
not nearly such q simple matter as
might be supposed, and it is of consid-
cradle Importance that it should be
done well, for, although it is not, ex-
pensive material to buy in the first
place, still it's making and details cost
as much as if it were, and nothing is
uglier than a print dress with half the
color washed out of it. The water
should not be too hot, and into it must
neither soda nor any washing or soap
powder be put. A lather must be
made as for fannels, and but little
soap used on the dress, and it should
only remain in the water long enough
to bring out the dirt. Next it must be
rinsed in cold water slightly salted,
and to which little vinegar has been
added. The former fixes the colors,
and the latter brightens them. Next,
wiring tightly and dry quickly, but not
il: the sun, or the colors will fade, and
if dried slowly they will run. Wearers
of print dresses should not let them
get too dirty before washing or the
color has to be sacrificed to cleanliness.

THE JACKET OF GRAY.

Written for the Morning News by Mrs.
C. A.. Ball about 1864 or 1865.
Fold it up carefully, lay it aside.
Tenderly touch it, look on 1t with
pride
For dear must it be to our hearts ever
more,
The Jacket of Gray, our loved soldier
boy wore.
Can We ever forget when he Joined
the brave band,
Who rose in defense of our dear
Southern land.
And in his bright youth, hurried on
to the fray
How proudly he donned it, the Jacket
of gray.
His fond mother blessed him, and
looked up above,
Commencing to Heaven the child OF
her love;
What anguish was hers, mortal trngue
may not say,
When he passed from our sight, ia
the jacket Of gray.
But his country had called, and she
would not repine,
Though costly the sacrifice placed in
it's shrine;
Her hearts dearest hopes on it's altar
she lay.
When she sent out her boy, in the
jacket of gray.
Months passed, and wars thundrers
rolled over the land,
Upsheathed was the sword and light
ed the brand;
We heard in the distance the sound
of the fray,
And prayed for our boy, in the jacket
of gray.
Oh. vain. all, all vain, were our pray
ers and our tears;
The glad shout of victory rang in our
ears;
But our treasured one on the red bat
tie field lay,
While the life-blood oozed out on the
jacket of gray.
His young comrades found him, and
gently bore
The cold, lifeless form to his home by
the shore.
Oh! dark were our hearts on that ter
rible day,
When we saw our dead boy in the
jacket Of gray.
Oh! spotted and tattered and stained
now with gore,
Was the garment which once he so
proudly wore.
We bitterly wept as we took it away
And replaced with Deaths white
robes, the jacket of gray.
We laid him to rest in his cold, mar
row bed,
And 'graved on the marble we placed
DER his head,
AS the proudest of tributes our sad
hearts cold pay,
"He never disgraced the jacket Of
gray"
Then fold it up carefully, lay it aside,
Tenderly touch it, look on it with
pride;
For dear must it be to our hearts
ever more,
The jacket OF gray our soldier boy
wore.

A Cheap Sitting Room.

1--WE are furnishing our sitting room
on the go-without-system plan," said
a careful young housekeeper. "This
is better than any hire or purchase
system yet invented.
The sitting room is the room be-
tween our small drawing room and the
still smaller kitchen, and it must be
used as both dining room and our
workshop. The centre Of the floor is
covered with a square OF hnoleum,
and there is deep border of staining
round the rest of the floor. The stain
is of a rich mahogany color. 1t is ef-
fective, serviceable and cheap. Here
is the recipe: One pint Of the cheap
est varnish, about nickel's worth OF
burnt sienna, and about a nickers
worth of brown umber. Mix the ST.
emma and the umber in the varnish un-
til a good mahogany shade is obtained
and paint evenly with rather large
brush.
I'VE got two good boxes from the
grocer's, 80 inches long, 20 inches wide
and 16 inches deep.
Jack screwed these two boxes to-
gether lengthways and hinged on
strong lids.
Then l made two mattresses to ft
the top.
First made what might be called a
model mattress about six inches long,
four inches wide and two inches deep.
This is of strong ticking stuffed with
flock and 'buttoncd' in quite profess
sional way. After stufing the ticking
I sewed it in places through and
through with a darning needle and
strong thread.
1.-THE miniature mattress was then
covered with a remnant of pink bro
cade, the edges bound with narrow
pink ribbon, and little tufts of thick
floss silk at regular intervals, as on
real mattress. Here l had charming
and novel pincushion, that is also very
useful.
1T will hold hat pins as well as
small pins.
After making the model mattress
I found it an easy matter to do the
same work on large scale. l ind that
the real secret in making a good mat
tress is in the buttoning. stuffed a
ticking made to fit the top OF the boxes
with 'flocEs' and put my sofa mattress
on the floor, leveled it as though max
ing a bed, and sewed through and
through each place where the buttons
go with a packing needle and fne
twine, taking care to finish OF the
stitches securely.
"The valance is Of terra Gotta serge
double width, and has tape run
through the top, which is caught on
small tacks at intervals and fastened
round two small nails at each end OF
the couch.
The top cover is width OF the
serge edged all round with ball fringe
and shaped at the corners to tit the
mattress."- s."-Washington Star.
