North East Church and its Builders

Work on the new M. E. church
is progressing very favorably. The
foundation is now completed, and
the way is being cleared for the
brick layers. The brick taken
from the old chnrch, all of
which have been cleaned, will
he used for the inner walls of the
new church. The facing brick will
be new, and the building committee
has been given big lift by the
contribution of 10000, a sufficient
number for this purpose, by Messrs.
Alfred and Henry Ford of Wash
ington. This liberal donation
means that not brick that goes
into the new building will have to
be bought. There was enough
stone for the foundation taken from
the old building, and the sand was
hauled without cost.
All the heavy white oak for the
girders and supports was donated
ny h CoSlS. cttiiIuCl OCutCIl anu II.
E. Shippers. Fifteen large trees
were thus contributed. They were
cut down by the young men OF the
church and hauled to G. II. +
Mearn's saw mill, where they are
being sawed into proper shapes
without expense. 1t will thus he
seen that with the large amount
of labor that is being contributed
right along, added to the above
| donations of material, that the cash
outlay is being very substantially
reduced. 1t is proposed to have a
corner stone laying about the 10th
or 10th of August. 1t is expected
! to have the new church ready for
dedication early in November

BITS OF FEMININITY.
Pretty Trifles in Dress That Are Now
in Favor with the FASH
iOnableS.

Narrow panels at the front of the
skirt are new.
Lace in a genuine coffee color is
used most effectively on white organ
dies, says the Detroit Free Press.
Shirt-waist gowns of foulard bid
fair to be appallingly popular and al
ready embroidered yokes of bands on
the front of the waist are being in
troduced in order to give some relief
to the rather too plain effect.
Conspicuous belts are creeping into
favor. A navy blue and white foulard
is made chic by a belt of red ana
white dotted foulard, and the hat is
trimmed to match.
White and colored taffeta coats are
newer than the black, and there is
something especially smart and at
tractive in the white ones to wear
over white and light gowns.
An exceedingly elegant costume is
made with a boX-plaited skirt, that
hangs from hip yoke of the lace,
and a blouse, also box plated. that
includes yoke and cuffs of the Cluny.
The linen batistes are made into
very smart little gowns for midsum-
mer wear. They are trimmed with
lace in points, medallions and inser-
tons, and give a touch of becoming
color at the throat and belt. Tucked
blouses fastened at the left.
Daintily lowered borders distin

fabrics in yelling, taffeta, French

PUBLIC SCHOOL EXERCISES.
Some Stirring Samples of Sapiency

an alert eye on the studying of the so

The exercises are not wholly cheer

SUMMER SOFA PILLOWS.
Attractive Cushions That Look Cool
and Inviting Even in Warm
Weather.

The sofa cushion is always mat
ter of household Importance, as much
of the household comfort depends
upon it. In summer it demands special
consideration, because it should both
look and be cool, and must be pleas
ing in appearance, and be of a nature
that will launder easily, says the New
York Tribune.
A pretty summer cushion cover is
thus made: White linen crash is
marked off into squares, of which
every alternate one is embroidered in
italian cut work. This work is not as
difficult as it looks. The linen is fas-
tened in a frame or on stiff paper,
to give firm working surface. Each
square that is to be worked is filed
with weaving" and the various lace
stitches and the borders of all the
squares are finished with binding
stitch" The linen is then cut from
under the embroidered squares.
The cushion is finished on the edges
with insertion of heavy lace. One
should always remember in making
UP u ShohiOh thdO tIC boNh pun IL
self should measure two inches longer
than the outer cover. These down
pillows can be bought ready made, and
one should order with this in mind.
By having the under pillow larger the
corners of the cover are forced full
and the whole pillow is thus filled and
so holds its shape, as it will not do
if the cover is large.
When the embroidery on a cushion
cover is soft and pliable the cover can
readily be sewed to its lining wrong
side out and turned, but if the en-
broidery is rich and likely to be dam
aged by such trea tment, the prop
er way to make up the cushion is to
sew both sides separately to the down
pillow itself. Square the cover per-
fectly, turn the edges round all four
sides and top, sew them lightly to the
seam of the cushion. When this is
in place turn the edges of the fabric
which is to form the back and top,
sew this to the seam first. meeting the
two. Cover this edge with a cord.

HEALTH AND USEFULNESS.
They Go Together and One Is Largely
the Result of the
Other.

We have heard much lately about
the increasing competitiveness of
life, not only in the more or less bar
rem countries of Europe but also i'll
our own fertile country. The ques-
ton has number of phases, one of
which we shall consider here, says the
Boston journal.
If you look at the sporting pages
of the Journal to-day you will see
reports of multitude of athletic
events. The schoolboy is enjoying
himself in the baseball field and on
the river; his brother may be a MEM
Der of some college nine or candi-
date for crew; his sister is perhaps
a member of a basket ball team; his
father, in odd hours, goes out on the
golf links or practices with the stur-
dy medicine-ball in the gymnasium.
and it is not at all improbable that
this same boys mamma can swing
a golf stick as vigorously and ac-
curately as she once could swing the
slipper that pursues disobedience.
So, if the struggle in this vale OF
tears is growing keener, it seems to
us that good many people are in
constant active training for the
struggle. There are exceptions to
every rule, of course, but the chances
of winning this ancient fight for a
decent earthly existence are better
with the man who takes care of his
body than with the man who doesn't.
Give us our health, and let the
richest man in the union keep his
hundreds of millions and his chronic
indigestion. Good health is half the
battle. 1t quickens the body and
sweetens the mind; it promotes am
bition; it lightens trouble, and i!
lengthens the years. OF all worldly
possessions it is the chiefest, for the
loss of it is what all men, the rich
and the poor alike, most regret.
1t is good, therefore, to become
habituated to healthiness at an earls
age; and, barring accident, good
health certainly is a matter of hab-
its. Nor is there any reason why the
playfulness of these habits should
not be relished in manhood as well
as in boyhood. Many great man
would have done twice as much for
his day and generation if only he had
been equal to a daily frolic,
