EARNEST CHURCH WORKERS.
Ladies Aid Society of the IIusiontown
NJ. f. Church Realize nice Srn, by
Working the Name. Quilt Racket

Working the Name. Quilt Racket
Times have not changed so
much, after all; for in the good
old days of two thousand years
ago, when the Christian church
was in its embryonic state, wom-
en- figured consplcuously as lead
ers in good works. To day (out.
side of Fulton county,. it Is the
women who make up the prayer
meeting; the Sunday school would
be but slckly institution, if the
earnest women workers were to
withdraw their presence and sup
port; it is the women who make
the financial end of the mission
ary movement positive quantl
ty; it is the women who come to
the rescue when there is par
sonage or church debt to be wip.
ed out, and in many cases, it be
comes necessary for them to step
ia and make good the pastors
salary. In fact, no one knows
better than the pastors of the
churches, how much of an ele-
ment of strength is found in the
earnest women of the church.
While almost every church or
ganization has it's band of work
ers, generally known as the La
dies AID Society, the News tells
now of the Ladies. Aid of the Hts
tontown M. E church. Like the
enterprising trustees OF some
other churches that the editor
knows something about, a par
sonage was built, and to save
shingles or slate, was covered
wlth-a debt. Now, if there is
one thing more than another that
a woman cannot tolerate, it is
debt. SO the Hustontown ladies'
set to work. They hit upon the
Name-qullt. You know how that
is done, don't you? A lady ap-
proaches you with one of her
most persuasive smiles, and IN
forms you that her society Is
making a name quilt, and that
they would be pleased to work
your name on patch III red silk
letters for the triillng sum of ten
cents. Of course, you want your
name on the quilt, and you fish
out a quarter and tell her care
lessly that 1T does not matter
about the change. She thanks
you, and looks oranother easy"
AT last, all the places are sold;
the quilt Is put together and fin.
ished in the highest style of nee
dleHork, and then 1t is offered
for sale at public auction.
AS was announced in the News
last week, a dra matte and musi-
cal entertainment was given in
the Ha Il at Hustontown, refresh
ments were served, and the quilt
auctioned off. MIR. Henry b.
Huston was the purchaser, and
the prlce paid was Sl2.75. This
added to $74 90 which the ladies'
had already received for names,
made the snug little sum of 1885,.
rs, realized from the quilt alone.

FAMINE IN HUMAN HAIR.

The enormous feminine demand for
artificial coils and toupees Is leading 70
a famine in human hair. Formerly
Swiss. German, and Hungarian girls
supplied the world of fashionable wom-
en- with luxurious tresses OF all tints.
But the governments Of many countries
are now making it illegal for a girl to
sell her hair or for any agent to buy
IT. The supply, in consequence! is run
ming out, and the prices of real hair
are trebling. a series of successful ex-
periments. says the London Daily Mall,
point to spun glass as the most effective
substitute for human hair. Wigs made
from spun glass are light and fine, and
the texture is soft and beautiful. 1t is
easy to produce any shade desired.
while curls and waves can be manufac-
tured at will to suit the fashion of the
moment. The imitation is so realistic
and true to life that II is impossible to
detect the difference between il and
real hair grown on the head.

THE aDRAGo DOCTRINE"

What is the ''Drago doctrine" which
is TO be excluded from the deliberations
of The Hague conference7 1t has moth
ing 20 do with the late Queen Draga Of
servia, but derives its name from Dr.
Drago. foreign minister Of the Argentine
Republic, who. initiating the example of
President Monroe. enunciated the con-
venient theory that debts owed 20 the
citizens OF one government by those of
another may not be collected by force.
This was when the combined fleets OF
England, Germany, and Italy, in 1902.
appeared off Venezuela and caused Mr..
KipIing to write his "R0wers." This
''Drago doctrine was naturally hailed
with enthusiasm by all the moneysbor-
rowing republics Of South America; but
they were told from Washington that
II could not be regarded as a sUbclause
Of the Monroe Doctrine.
