tirely of white lace insertion, and out
lines the lawn upon the bib and the
skirt. A third, to wear when sewing, is
very useful with its deep pockets, and is
of white lawn. A bias ruffle of the lawn
finishes the entire edge. The rest of the
trimming is lace beading through which
ribbon is run, and tied here and there In
little bows. A Russian tea apron is
shown which is made of a Bulgarian
printed square, or a silk bandanna
handkerchief may be used to reproduce
this design. One side of the square will
make the bib and the shoulder straps,
which cross at the back and button to

COMES HOME AT NIGHT.


How the chidren's faces brighten
How they drop their toys and books,
flow the mothers burdens tighten,
How expectant each one looks,
How the youngsters run to meet him,
How they shout in their delight,
How they throng to kiss and greet him
When papa comes home at night!
How all troubles seem to vanish
How all little quarrels cease,
How he seems all gloom to Danish,
How he brings in joy and peace;
How his smile smooths every wrinkle
How he sets all wrong Alright,
How he unkinks every crinkle-
When papa comes home at night!
Blest, ah best beyond all speaking
Is that happy family,
With a loving father seeking
To preserve 1t trouble-free
let no harm, we pray, come near him
Sudden death-untimely blight;
But long may his children cheer him
When papa comes home at night!

An omcer,s Pet DOG.

In the case of the captain of an artil-
lery company of South Carolina, who
was killed in the American civil war, the
officers pet dog lay moaning upon the
grave of his master. refusing to eat
or drink, for three days only, and
then died. This instance is all the
more remarkable from the fact
that the officers body did not
reach the family home in Columbia until
week after death. The dog met it at
the gate, knew by instinct that the coffin
contained his dead master, lay under IL

Peshtigo itself was 'sawdust town,

the lumber 1t turned out, belched forth
tons of refuse, which was heaped every

fighting parson was natural orator
and a most effective speaker. | heard
his famous speech the day after Lincoln
was assassinated. He spoke, on a mo-
ments notice, for two hours, giving
some experiences of his with Andrew
Johnson while the latter was military
governor of Tennessee. He told the
story of call on Johnson when the
prospect in Tennessee looked very dark,
and of Johnson asking him to pray. He
related many anecdotes without appar-
ent purpose. but when he had finished.
the 10000 listeners realized that the old
Methodist had introduced the president
in new light and had strengthened
their confidence in him.
Nothing could be more impressive
than Moody's bearing and manner on
such occasions. He was then in his
prime, his heavy white hair and beard
giving to his tall, stalwart figure dig
nifty and majesty possessed by few pub
lie speakers of that day. He said more
in praise of Johnson in that famous
speech than the facts warranted, but he
meant every word of it, and no speech
of the time did more to comfort be-
reaved people. Johnson did not come up
! to Moody's expectations or predictions,
but the fighting parson swallowed his
disappointment until he had oppor-
| tunity to scold Johnson himself. If re-
ports were-true, the scolding was a

before we are considering the cut and

those of us who must, through force of
circumstances, replenish our wardrobes
at the present time, it is just as well
that we know something of the near flu

introduce some of the little novelties
into these gowns, and so be not only
just a trifle ahead for once at least, but
also not be behind the procession If we
have to wear the gowns purchased now
through the spring.
Sleeves and collars make the fashions
in waists whether they be of the tailor

which goes as a part of the complete re-

ADVICE TO THE IRISH.
Noted cIersymen Advise Young Men
to Stay in Ireland.

Cardinal Gibbons and other Catholic
clergymen have written letters to the
Irish immigration Society of London.
urging the Irish to remain in Ireland.
and not emigrate to the United States.
The Cardinal states: 81 know under
what circumstances we live in
America. My advice to the young men
and women of Ireland is to endeavor
to find livelihood in their own land.
Ireland is blessed with a delightful eli
mate. where the great extremes OF
heat and cold are unknown. whereas
in the United States these extremes
are very serious drawbacks. Any man
or woman who could exc out liveli-
hood at home should take my advice
and stay there instead of emigrating
to America to enter on the keen
struggle for existence under the trying
circumstances that are in progress
here"
Bishop Ludden of Syracuse writes:
"All the places are filled. all the OFF,
fees are occupied. and even a smart
young Irishman coming here has great
dificulty in finding a position, and II
he Is to get anything to do. 1t must
be in the most menial. common and
laborious occupation. l would like my
voice and advice to reach every young
man In Ireland; II he can possibly
find a competence and a decent way
of living at home. to stay there"
Archbishop Keane says: Stay at
home in Ireland. the land of your
birtn. You will find plenty there for
your energies to do"
John Redmond says: Il have seen
the Irish laborer in the great steel
works. / have seen him working like
white slave. stripped almost naked.

hours day. and sometimes sixteen
hours, for $1.50. | say the poorest
man in Kerry is better of in Ireland
than these men in America. When 1t
is remembered that dollar in Ameri-
ca will not buy more than what 25
cents will buy in Ireland. you should
think whether $1.50 is worth day OF
such slavery"
