WASHING SILKS.

II is not difficult to do up" the
light weight silks. such as India, China
and pongee.
The garment should never be boiled,
nor should it be washed in soda wa
ter. a mistake which Is often commit
ted by the inexperienced, and which
utterly ruins the material.
1t should, on the contrary, be dipped
into good lather Of tepid water and
soap, worked well with the hands and
then squeezed out and placed In q
tubful of cold, soft water.
Running water, in preference to
still, should be employed for rinsing
purposes, little methylated spirit
being used in the final rinse.
In the case Of white silks the same
rules may be followed. but in addition
to the methylated spirit a little blue
should be used to keep the material
from looking yellow.
Colored silks may be hung out to
dry in the sun, but white or cream
silk should never be subjected, to
strong heat in drying, and the best
method in this case is to wrap up the
articles in cloth and lay them aside

State Banks,

The showing made by the State banks
OF Mississippi under the call of State

aggregate of resources and liabilities
had increased during that period from

Fancy Work Design Appropriate for
Christmas Gifts.

The fancy work pattern and design
is something absolutely new in the
way of the clever work aprons that can
be converted into bags for holding the
work. The design is shown as plain
apron and also drawn up at halfmast,
when it forms a little pocket in wash
erwoman fashion. Again when it Is
taken off by drawing up the belt rib
bon, it can be made into a complete
bag.
Eyelet work done upon parallel slots
wide enough to take inch and half
wide ribbon form the trimming motif
and at the same time the working plan
of the apron. A fancy design should
be worked in the corners, which are an
attractive feature when it is in bag
shape. If firm and sheer handkerchief
linen is used, and the edge Is finished
with buttonholing, practical little
possession, which is perfect for wash
ing purposes, is the result, and moth
ing could be more attractive than its
appearance when finished with the

These clothes are sensible, and
they can be made pretty. Pretty
clothes do not need a lot of frills and
ruffles, but neat trimmings can be put
on, and what is prettier than little
girl in neat school dress and a white
pinafore? She looks spick, span, tidy
and we'll cared for, much better than
she with the ruffles that will get dirty
and look bedraggled.
The two rules to be observed are
health and hygiene in the dressing OF
the little ones, and following the
schedules here given one must come
pretty near those rules.

Eault of Amateur pressmakers.

it will only make matters worse by
constantly pinching in and cutting off
any portion of the material in one
place; it must be taken in by gentler
methods. Slope it away gradually
down the seam or work the material
out in two or three places-never take
the material out abruptly in one spot.

THE STORY.

NJ EARLY 20 years had passed since
IN that fateful day when Israel had
turned away from the Lord and had
refused to go and possess the land
Those had been years of wandering
and weary struggle in the wilderness
whittier God had driven them as pun
ishment for their sin, but up to the
time of our story there had been nc
direct or well-defined opposition
against Moses and Aaron in their
leadership and their ministry before
the people.
The first intimation which had come
that there was trouble brewing was
when one of Moses faithful servants
had brought the tidings that Korah
had ceased his allotted ministry In
the temple service and was leading
others into a similar neglect of duty.
Some time previous to this it had
become necessary for Moses to re-
move him as prince over the Koha-
thites, who had been assigned the
special care Of the furniture OF the
tabernacle during the march, and to
appoint in his stead younger broth.
er, the fourth son Of Korah.
Eleazar, chief over the princes of
the house of Levi, who had been set
apart for the special ministry in the
tabernacle service, had long been con-
scious Of the feeling Of Korah towards
Moses, and had demonstrated with
him.
"Has not God said that the first
born of each household shall be holy
unto him, and set apart for the priest
hood, and has not Moses presumed to
set aside this order?" he demanded.
1T is not I alone who has reason
to resent Moses arbitrary rulings, and
it is for the sake of every son of
Abraham that we should protest"
Nothing more had been said. and
Eleazar had concluded as the months
rolled by and Korah took no further
steps in opposing Moses that he had
dropped the matter, but secretly he
was at work sowing his seeds Of dis
cord and. winning a following, and
suddenly one day when Korah deemed
the time ripe, he withdrew with his
followers.
Quickly it became noised through
out the camp Of Israel what Korah
had done, that he refused longer to
serve in the place Moses had as

SERMONETTE.

"Seemeth it but a small thing
unto you, that the God Of Is
raeI hath separated you from the
congregation of Israel, to bring
you near to himself to do the
service of the tabernacle of the
Lord, and to stand before the
congregation to minister unto
them? And he hath brought thee
near to him, and all thy brethren
the sons Of Levi with thee. And
seek ye the priesthood also?"
This ninth verse brings be-
fore US two thoughts of deep
significance to the Christian
worker of to-day.
First. The dignity and honor
of any service to which God may
call.
Second. The wicked presump-
ton of coveting the seemingly
higher places in Gods service.
Let us consider the first es-
pecialIy. How glorious is the
thought of the completeness
with which God has ordered the
affairs of his kingdom, SO that
there is place for every soul,
a duty for each to discharge, a
share in the fellowship and bless
ing of the Lsrd, and right in
the end to hear him say: well
done, good and faithful servant.
Enter into the Joy Of thy Lord"
Never does the question arise
as to whether the servant has
wrought in place of high or low
deqree, but as to how faithful
he has served in the place as
signed. Never does he ask how
much, but how we'll. The cup
of cold water given in the name
of the master, receives as high
commentator as would the one
who had ministered a kingdom
in the same name. There is
honor at the Lords hands for
the one who serves in loWIy, OBJ
scure places as we'll as the one
to whom greater talents have
been given and serves in the
place of distinction and honor.
The head cannot say to the foot,
the body hath no need of thee,
neither can the foot say to the
head, thou art nothing to me-;
will not serve with thee. Each
has his place to fill. Happy that
Christian who has learned that
it is no small thing that the Lord
hath separated him to bring him
near to himself and to do serv-
ice in his kingdom. If Koran
had remembered that 1t was
God, not Moses, he was serving,
he might have escaped the aW-
full sin into which he fell and
have never suffered the terrible
Judgment of Gods wrath.
It is sadly true that the sin
of Koran Is common to-day
among Christian workers in
kind, it not degree. Many an
one aspires to a place In the
visible kingdom of God to
which God has never called.
Many a heart is palsied with
Its weight of jealousy, so that
the Christians usefulnes is all
destroyed, and the place he
might fiji is deserted, and,
worse still, the influence upon
others is demoralizing, and
others are led away from God.
Let not the first seed of jeal-
ousy find Judgment in thy heart.
Serve God with an eye single
to his glory. Remember Jesus
Words: "He that exaiteth him.
self shall be abased, and he
that humbleth himself shall be
exalted"

1.-THE one gratifying incident that

Mississippi's single deep seaport was

This was the first storm test to
which these works have been subject

of the wind and wave was problemati-
cal. Many doubts were entertained
and freely expressed as to the perma-
hence of the improvements and their
ability to Withstand the shock of such
storms as sometimes visit the coast.
The experience of last week has re-
moved all of these, and demonstrated
that the port is secure not only against
visitations OF this character, but against
the fiercest and most destructive equi-
noctial storms of which the coast has
had any experience"
