Lima.-Sunday was day of sight
seeing for the American battleship fleet
lying in the harbor of Callao. More
than 5000 of them came ashore during
the day, the majority of whom spent
that time in Lima amusing themselves
in visiting places of amusement and
buying souvenirs in the shops kept
open for their benefit. Others took
short excursions on the railroads to
nearby points of interest. while many
stayed close around the Bay of Callao.
The conduct of the thousands of blue
jackets and marines was admirable,

LILLE NEuLIE.


Lite Nellie loved the air,
Grass and moss and pine-clad
heights;
With the boys she learned to dare,
Longed to take unheard-of flights!
But there came a dismal day;
Little Nellie longtime lost
Force or will to romp and play,
On a sick-bed feYer-tossed.
Then glad, active hours returned.
Little Nellie, with new grace,
Homely duties sought and earned;
In the house assumed her place.
Years passed by, and someone came
Who poor Nel3ie's warm heart stole;
Yet the days sped On the same
To their shadow-haunted goal
Ever ready to respond
To the needs of those a-near,
Little Nellie wove the bond
That makes common living dear.
Through her brown hair crept the
gray;
Yet her soul was like the flowers
That she grew and coaxed to stay
With her mid the wintry hours.
Yes, kind Nel'ie kept the home
For the feet that came and went;
Vines about her porch-door clomb;
Roses, blushing, gave sweet scent.
And in sun-warmth or in cold,
Nellie always fed the birds,
Made the winged creatures bold,
Thanks to crumbs and gentle words!
But though roses bush and bloom,
Whilst bird-carols slIyward sweep,
In hushed and darkened room,
Little Nellie lies asleep.

Watch for the Matten Sleeve.

The short sleeve has been carried
to the point of caricature and has
had a long career. SO some change
is due, and while the short sleeve
will unquestionably be much worn
throughout the summer and will al
way have its place for certain
types of dress it seems probable
that we shall see the mitten sleeve
upon a great many of the dressy
frocks in the autumn.
The upper part of the new sleeve
is usually but little changed, though
some lovely sleeve designs are in
such sheer material as chiffon or net
finely tucked in horizontal lines
along the inner arm down to point
just below the elbow and fall in
dropping, clinging puff so far down,
while below the elbow the sleeve fits
closely and some form of short cap
or kimono drapery forms an outer
sleeve.
Even when the sleeve is short the
tucked and soft falling sheer puff is
liked. The best of the new tailored
frocks show a disposition toward long
sleeves.

'From the age Cf three months until
fifteen years old, my son Ovens life
was made intOlerable by eczema in its

disease gradually spread until nearly
every part of his body was quite raw.
He used to tear himself dreadfuly in
his sleep and the agony he went
through is quite beyond words. The
regimental doctor pronounced the case
hopeless We had him in hospitals
four times and he was pronounced one
of the worst cases ever admitted. From
each he was discharged as incurable.

one political party in the state has
given the democracy some ground for
doubling the oft-proclaimed compre-
hensiveness of the national church.
Their large incomes have been a not
quite unjustifable cause Of dissatis-
faction, and business men have doubt
ed the statement that these large in
comes are used for the administra-
ton rather than for the private purse
of the bishop, because no account has
been published of the funds thus ad-
ministered.
"The rough sense Of justice of the
English people is undoubtedly sound
when it hears, not without indignation,
of 1,139 living with an average stip-
end of SGT, and of bishops with stip-
ends never lower than $4,000. These
things require readjustment, and a
committee of clear-headed, just bust
ness men would put the matter right
in six weeks
The vicar declared that the bishop
Of the diocese ought to occupy to-
wards his clergy the relationship
which a great headmaster bears to his
assistant masters; to be to his clergy
what Arnold was to the masters at
Rugby; to consider the thousand
clergy as his parishioners, for whose
spiritual welfare he is responsible.
This conception of the Episcopal Of
flee would, he believed, have certain
assured beneficial results. It would
give the clergy the help of an officer
commissioned with statutory parlia-
mentary power to see to their inter
ests and to set right such anomalies
as the present scandal Of starving
curates.
"The only Justification for the pres
ence of bishops in the House of
Lords" he continued, sis that they
may look after the interests of the
church. But no bill has yet been
brought in by the Episcopal bench to
reform the patronage or to remove
the scandal The conception of the
office which I suggest would establish
human relationship between the clergy
and their bishops, who now know no.
thing of their clergy, excepting the
rumors of diocesangossip. What hui
man relationship can be established be-
tween the bishop and the clergy when
the bishop most frequently drives from
the station to the church On the rare
occasion of his visit, and has a car
riage at the church door after the
service, and when the only means of
conveying any impression of the work
and condition of a parish is the dry
bones of statistical returns? The jun
ior clerk sees more of the senior part
ner than clergyman does of his
bishop. Some personal relationship
between bishop and clergy would do
more to Increase church life than all
the meetings in duchesses' drawing.
rooms and committees in London that
were ever held. We want more bish.
ops that the bishops may do their
duty"

A Left-ove" Suggestions

When you have DU1ied a ham do
not insist upon its appearing on the
family board after it has been eaten
down to the schag ends.
These are unsightly and by that
time the family is tired of it at any
rate.
Instead, make use of the chopper
and turn the small pieces into Gro
quotes, or mix them with creamed
eggs baked in pudding dish or even
have some dainty minced ham sand
wiches for lunch mixed with mayon-
naise, a little chopped lettuce, and
some cup up sweet pickles.

Lemon Squeezers.

We all know people whose particu-
lar occupation seems to be to squeeze
the sour out of everything. They
never see anything sweet. Everything
is bitter to them.
They cannot enjoy a friend because
of his faults. His mistakes and weak
nesses loom up so large that they
cannot appreciate the good in him.
They cannot see the man God in
tended, perfect and immortal; they
see only the deformed, diseased, Grip
pied, handicapped man who, in their
opinion, will never come to any good.
Nor do they see the world that God
made. The beauty that looks out Of the
landscape, from the trees that rustic
in the wind, that is wrapped in the
flower, is lost to them. They only see
the floods, the fire, the earthquakes,
the lightnings, the wrecks which des-
troy. They are blind to beauty. 1t is
all covered up in the ugly, the forbid
ding. They do not her the infinite har-
monies that entrance the ear that is in
tune with the infinite. This is al lost
to them in the discord of their
thoughts.-O. S. Marden in Success
Magazine.
