CONDUCTED BY REV. q. n. Will.
SON, OF DE kALe, ILL.
Object Of Pastor Is to Impress Young
Folks with Soemnity Of Mar
vows-Smple Wedding
Becoming Popular.

Chicago. - Rev. George H. VIII
son, pastor of the Congregational
church at De Kalb. conducts a
unique school for young people
whom he expects to marry. The
object of this is to impress them
with the nature and the solemnity Of
the VOWS they take on themselves
when they become man and wife.
When prospective groom ap-
proaches the minister and engages
him to perform the ceremony, the
pastor gives him a printed sheet on
which is printed the form OF marriage
ceremony that he will use. He asks
the man to read over the words. to
show the sheet to his prospective
bride she may know what she is eX-
pected to promise when she appears
before the man who is to join her and
her lover for all time.
This sheet contains a service with
or without the use of a ring, but in
the event of the use of either the
binding words are given out four or
five weeks before the wedding, but II
there is but single day intervening
between the engagement OF the parson
and the wedding both of the contract
ing parties are given the service and
allowed to look it over.
After the wedding is over the bride
is given a certificate and with 1t Is

Mr.. Wilson. for husband and wife
to look at this little sheet Of paper

and they think over again the words
and the meaning of the brief cere-
mony that started them in the welded
path. II married people would only
think more and more of what they are
about to promise, and then what they
have promised. | think there would
be a great deal more of welded bliss"
This pastor believes In simple
wedding. He says that hundreds OF
couples nowadays really want to get
rid of the fuss and feathers of a we'd
ding event They want to be mar
ried quietly and go to housekeeping
without allowing either fad or fash
ion to prescribe the way.

The Pope's Mistake.

The late pope was once giving an
audience, when his attendants
through some oversight. neglected
to introduce by name very stout
lady who approached the throne.
The pope, however, took the situa.
ton for granted. "Vous etes uns

n'est-ce-pas?" he asked gently.
In Mortified whisper an attend
ant intimated that the lady was un
married. The pope, with smoth
cred, gasp sat back in his chair
turned his face away and laughed. He
composed himself, however, so quick
ly that the lady. whose knowledge o.
French was not particularly good
never realized his holiness faux pas.

Paper from Cotton Stalks.

1t is now possible. thanks to re-
cent invention, to manufacture paper
from the fiber Of the cotton stalk. 1t
is asserted that all grades Of paper,
from the best form OF linen to the
lowest grade. can be manufactured
from cotton stalks. In addition to
this, variety OF by-products, such as
alcohol, nitrogen, material for gun
cotton and smokeless powder, can be
secured in paying quantities. 1t is
estimated that on an area Of land pro-
ducing a bale Of cotton at least one

When he asked groom why he had

has been here ever since November,
1895, when all this country was a
pine forest. He at once began to
work for the Colony Company, cut
ting the second growth of pine
trees, which, when cut, laid SO
thick that we could walk out to
Jessamine avenue and never touch
the ground. Then he went to work
grading with q force of men, begin

filled in the swamps, where the A.,

could not be risked in it. Frank

Cooking and Morals.

Ninety per cent, of the crimes
in the United States are due to
bad cooking" So says DR., G. HI.
Irion, health officer of the state of
Mississippi. That is a broad and
strong statement, nevertheless DR..
Irion says he has facts to back it
He traces not only crime but lazi-
ness and drunkenness to poor feed
ing. Feed man Cor a woman,

Cor she) will almost invariably be
of even temper and good deport-
ment. The person whose food is
well selected and we'll cooked is in
a better condition to meet the re-
quirements of daily life than the
person who "scraps around" and
takes whatever is offered or may be
had.
The properly fed man is a good
citizen and good neighbor and a
good family man. The poorly fed
man-the man who lives "out of
the frying pan" or on "cold grub'
is apt to be quarrelsome, discon-
tented and a more or less undesira-
BILE citizen. For years the scien-
lists have been preaching gospel
of good cooking as necessary to a
better citizenship. "Tell us what
you eat," they say, land we will
tell you what you are. "-Savan

A Triumph for Religious Liberty

The dismissal of the suit brought
by "next friends'' against Mrs.
Mary Baker G Eddy, will be graft
flying to all fair minded people,
without regard to religious belief
While the public is left in the
dark as to the reasons for dropping
the suit, it is. quite as much in the
dark as to why it was ever brought
in the first place. If it's object was
an attack On Mrs. Eddy as the
founder of Christian Science, it will
berightfully regarded as an attempt
at persecution. In a land, one of
the cornerstones of whose govern
ment is religious liberty, such a
course is short-sighted in that it's
effect, if it have any effect, must
be to help rather than to harm the
cause attacked. This would be
true, whatever the cult assailed.
1t is not a question of whether
we agree with Christian Science or
not, but is solely a matter of in
dividual freedom. Whatever we
may think of Mrs. Eddy's theories
we cannot but respect her rights,
the same being the rights we cher
ish for ourselves. The fact that
she is old entitles her all the more
to sympathy and protection. 10
assure her that sympathy and pro
lection does not require belief in
her peculir principles, but only a
belief in common humanity.
Mrs. Eddy's personal counsel
objected to the dismissal Of the
suit until the matter of her mental
competency is cleared up. SO far
as the public mind is concerned we
believe that matter is largely
settled now. If the examinations
of her already made had not affect
ed that result, the unqualified
statement of DR.. Allan McLane
Hamilton would certainly do so. IL
is now to be hoped that Mrs. Eddy
like all other persons who are act
ing within their rights, will be
left in peace and security in her
old age.-New York Herald.

the edges by knife plated ruffies.
However, the white embroidered bow
and cravat are just as popular as
ever. One of the new collars closing
in the back is of white linen and is
finished at the top with ruche of

ribbon with bow in front. is the
arrangement at the base of the coll

The lingerie collar and cuff sets are
still very fashionable and are worn by
well dressed women. Their shape and
style is much varied, some of the cuffs
being from four to six inches at their
deepest part. There are sets of fine
linen with embroidered edges and rose
buds or French knots worked on them.
Those of heavy linen have eyelet en-
broidery, and others have insets of
Irish or some other crochet lace.
Long Sleeve Again in Vogue.
The long sleeve is a general fa-
vorite at present, although short ones
are not abandoned because of their
GOODNESS and comfort. Many summer
gowns are made up with the trans
parent mitten sleeves, which almost
conceal the hands. This is an &C.
ceptabie fashion for the woman to
whom the short sleeves are not be-
coming.
A most picturesque costume worn
by a graceful woman was Of dead
leaf marquisetts overshot brown and
green silk. The skirt trailed, and the
bodice, simple yet attractive, was
made with lace guimpe. The notice.
able part, was the loose wrap which
hung in points back and front, and
much shorter at the sides. The
points we're tipped with tassels. The
hat worn was of brown, rather large
and trimmed with green plumes. The
artistic and modish completion was a
green jade necklace.
