The Rev. DR.. Hills sees grave fears
for mems future in the progress women
are making. He told them SO in a
sermon on Women"
Women" said DR.. Hills, "in spite
Of mems refusal TO give them the rights

led. are to-day in 145 branches Of busi-
ness and in instances showing more
ability than the men.

doing 1t for but $4,000 q year.
"In fifty years." said DR.. Hills. "the

Revival of Linen Chest. .

| EVERYWHERE in the shops to-day one
! finds linen chests, more or less elabor-
ate.
Nothing but fine antique will do
! for some young women. and genuine
! old chests whose heavy wood Is finely
carved and rich with color and lustre
of centuries are not sold for a song.
! Imitation antiques are plentiful and
some of them are attractive enough
IL one buys them for what they are
aud does not pay the price of real an
tiques for them.
A strictly modern French chest made
TO fill New Yorl; order is Of dark
oak, severely plain, but mounted in
wonderful art nouveau metal work
set with semi-p-ecious stones.
Such chests are not for all lovers of
linen. but linen all women must have,
and the earlier the collecting is begun
the more satisfactory the supply is
when its owners wedding day comes.
The wise mother buys the linen chest
and begins stocking it long before the
daughter is old enough TO take vital
interest in the proceeding.
1t Is easy to have an exceptionally
beautiful supply of linen if one
watches the sales. and !f one buys
little at time. Even If a woman has
unlimited means at her disposal she
cannot at one full swoop collect a
stock Of linen as satisfactory as one
picked up piece by piece, because of
some particular merit or charm in each
piece.
One may buy almost any sort OF lin.
an store hemmed nowadays. The hur-
ry and rush of modern life has de-
manded that concession. but the girl
who is cut out for domesticity will pre-
fer hemming and working her own
linen.
or course. the supply she will need
will depend upon the position she viii
occupy. and certain basic rules OF Sc
lection every one may follow
First there is the kitchen supply
cup towels. glass towels, roller tow
els, dish cloths. cheesecloth busters,
Recovered iron holders. bag for
,lothespins, cotton flannel bags TO
draw over the broOms when wood
floors are to be brushed. All these are
to be hemmed. worked with one or
two initials and laid away in the linen
chest
Then there is the servants linen. a
bountiful supply of sheets, pillow slips.
towels. spreads, tablecloths. napkins.
not necessarily of fine quality. but
carefully selected. durable, well
worked.
When this foundation is laid one has
come to the delightful part of the
work, the choosing of the general
house linen in various grades. Here
temptation meets one and covetous-
ness becomes ones darling sin, but
one must keep level head and consid-
er the practical as well as the beautl-
full, and one must learn to be an un-
erring judge of quality Evangelist.

Use For Old waterproofs.


You housekeepers who happen to
have slowed away in attic or closet
one or more of those old waterproof
capes in use twelve or fifteen years
ago, will find them exceedingly serv.
iceable as chair covers on sweeping
day. To make them more convenient.
sew up the slits in the covers which
were used for armholes, and remove
the hoods. Then see what protection
it is from the dust, which. however
carefully a broom is used, is sure to
lodge upon all upholstered furniture.
In the case of large easy chair.
which for some reason it may be in,
convenient to remove from the room
during the sweeping process. this rub
Der cover will prove boon. Ordi.
narily it may be carelessly thrown
over the back. arms and seat; but in
case it may be found necessary to re-
move the chair to sunny piazza or
porch during cleaning time, this cover
pinned securely around it will protect
1t from either rain or sunshine, Gs the
case may be.
Another advantage which such a cov-
er has over a shawl or other woolen
covering is that Gust does not cling
to it, but a slight shake will remove 1t.
If you happen to own an Old-fash-
ioned square piano, with pictures and
bric-a-brac standing on the open cover,
it is some trouble to remove them and
close the piano every time you sweep.
A friend WIN owns ona of these old
waterproof capes often throws it over
her open piano while sweeping, thus
saving the trouble of closing it.-Hel-
eh r. Richardson. in Connecticut

A woman who has made study or
health gives the following suggestions
Tor the care of the hair:
Keep the hair as clean as the rest
Of the body.
Let the air and sunshine have free
access to It. Never wear hat when
you can go without it. 1t will retard
the growth Of your hair just as surely
as covering up plant would hinder
It's development
IF you wear n wheat field, an ay-
larry or a grape arbOr on your hat, you
must expect that ysur hair will suffer.
Heat and weight are not conducive to
growing luxuriant locks.
Don't put lot OF strange nostrums
on your hair. If you do, you will get
n lot OF strange results.
wash the hair In warm CASTLE suds.
Rinse it in cold water. The change Of
temperature stimulates growth. If you
want to make your hair grow, this
washing may be repeated every other
day.
when you dry your hair. do It In
the sunshine. Besides helping the
growth of the hair, II Will produce
! beautiful tints and sheens that no ar.
tifcial aids can bring.
Don't twist your hair In towel to
dry IT, You will break many of the
hairs that way. Dry 1t carefully by
gentle pressure."-New York Tribune.

when he could be retired without raising too
much of a commotion; then he was retired.
Some of Miles friends promise to make things
interesting for those who conspired against him.

$500 DAYS
CHRONOLOGY AND PROPHECY.
A Continuation of Rev. E. MarstaIl's Views On
Christian Socialism.
Continued from first page.]

Continued from first page.]
"Seven times" or 2,52t days.-Daniel Aga
and Leviticus 26:18.
The "seven tines of Moses and Daniel,
called by our Lord 'the times of the Gentiles, "
should be the time in which He, in His 'ndig-
nation,'' would infict chastisement upon His
ancient people--the Children of Israel-by
breaking I''the pride of their power" and
bringing their land and sanctuary into desola-
ton for their great sins, and because they de-
spised His statutes
All these prophetic periods synchronize in
the year 1868.
In the year A. D. GOO, Boniface III. assumed
the title OF Universal Bishop, and Phocas, En-
peror of Rome, conferred upon him political
authority, and confirmed him in his ecclesiast-
ical authority as supreme head of the church;
but the western churches, especially those of
Britain, did not acknowledge his authority till
about A. D. Sos.
Thus, in the year A. D. COS, "the BEAST"
the ''little horn" of Daniel, began his sway
over the churches, and "power was given unto
him to continue forty-two months"
Adding I,26o years to A. D. COS brings us
down to the year 1868. The Pope was deposed
of all secular authority Sept. 20, 1870, thus
fulfilling, sufficiently exact, the prophecy of
the 400 years during which 'the beast' was
to have power to persecute, and at the end of
which time, 'the ancient OF days" should
come, and give the kingdom to the saints, and
they should possess it.
There is much that might be said here in
evidence of the fulfllment of prophecy, but,
for lack of space, will simply call the readers
attention to the diminuton of papal influence
in the last thirty years, and the great strides of
all free Christian institutions.
Thus, by the ful6llment of prophecy, Christ
ian belief is promoted and sustained. We are
now, then, come to the time of the grandest
predictions of good to all the peoples of the EARTH

TOM McNEAL A SOCIALIST.

Tom McNeal, of the Mail and Breeze, has
been studying Socialism, and he has half a no,
ton to become Socialist. In the leading
editorial in last weeks Mail and Breeze, he
says, among other things:
1--WE cannot say whether we are socalistc
or not. There seems to be so much difference
OF opinion among the people who call them
selves Socialists that it is hard to determine
what constitutes a Socialist
eff socialism means desire for a betterment
of the conditions Of the people who have to
earn their bread and clothes by the sweat of
their faces, then we claim to be a Socialist.
We want to see the time when the people who
do the honest and necessary work of the world
will be able to live in comfort, and even what
may be termed luxury.
eff to desire that the inordinate and grasp
greed of the people who seem to want to own
the earth and all that it contains may be curb
ed and their power to monopolize lessened is
socialistic, then we are Socialist.
"But the dream of the man who calls himself
about equality of conditions, seems to us not
only impracticabe now, but impossible until
the natures anG dispositions of men shall be
radically changed.
Equality of conditions could not be brought
about, in our opinion, by any laws that might
be enacted"
Well, Brother McNeal, Socialism does mean
a desire for betterment of the conditions of
the people who earn their bread and clothes by
the sweat of their faces. 1t does desire to, and
will, curb greed. Not wholly by law will these
things be done, but much of it by education
and by evolution. The first thing that will be
done will be for Uncle Sam to take charge and
assume ownership of the railroads, telegraph
lines and other institutions of like nature. A
little later, he will take over the coal mines,
and gradually, he will take ali other mines into
his possession. Later on Git may be good
many years, but sooner than some of us ex-
pect), all public utilities will be owned and
controlled by the government--the people. In
time (not so very many years hence), the full
dream of the Socialists will be realized.
But these things will not come until the
people are ready for it, No lasting reform
comes at single bound all reforms come step
by step-just as the people get ready for them.
Education and agitation bring. them.
If Brother McNeal will continue to read and
study the question, he will soon become pref
ty good sort of Socialist.
