The Glory in the CInnd.

Phillips Brooks once preached
sermon from the text, who passing
through the valley of weeping make it
a we'll. He said there were two ways
of treating sorrow. One may say,
This that | have to bear is hard,
but the clouds will break and there
will come better days. Compensa-
tion is in store for me. II may not
be In this world, but some time It will
all be made up to me-" Or he may
say, Il will do just what Scripture
tells me to do. l will make of my
valleys of weeping well-springs of
JOY. | will turn sadness into occa-
sions of rejoicing"
The apostle says, "In everything
give thanks Assuredly we cannot
be thankful for everything, but in
every experience that comes to us
we may find some reason for giving
THANKS. When Jeremy Taylor's house
had been plundered, all his worldly
possessions squandered. his family
turned out of doors, he congratulated
himself that his enemies had left him

The churches are looking forward
to the time of revivals. There may
be a few exceptions, but not many.
Some pastors are getting ready, and
not few are anxiously looking for
the coming of the favored time, and
asking what they can do to prepare
for 1t.
The best way, and indeed the only
successful way, to get ready for
real and permanent revival is to use
faithfully the regular means of grace.
The pastor who wants to see the work
of God promptly and surely advanced
among his people should give earnest
attention to his own message and
work. He should make sure that he
reaches the hearts of the people with
the simple but all-powerful message
God has given him. With plainness,
but in love and tenderness, he should
declare the whole counsel of God,
warn men of sin and danger, and
point them to the Lamb of God,
Faithful pastoral work should be
done.
The church should rally to the SUM-
port of the pastor, and use the stated
means of grace to edify believers and
impress the unsaved. These means
faithfully employed will soon lead to
such an interest in religious matters
and such quickening of the spiritual
life OF the church that special meet
lngs Will be demanded, and the re-
vlVal VIII be an accomplished fact.
For the pastor there is no better ad.
vice than Paul gave to Timothy:
Preach the Word; be instant in sea-
son, out of season; reprove, rebuke,
exhort with all longsuffering and doc
trine. ."-Pittsburg Christian Advos

Dresses Not Her Own.

The curious legal point has Just
been made In one Of the London
county courts that a wife's dresses
are not necessarily her own absolute
property, but that they may only be
given to her by her husband for her
lifetime. The question came up in an
action arising out of @ seizure under
an execution of dresses supplied to a
Chelsea woman by a firm of Dress
makers. The husband contended
that the seizure was illegal, as he
gave his wife the money to buy the
dresses, and they were accordingly
his property. The Judge said that It
had been laid down by the late Lord
st. Heller when he was Sir Francis
Jeune, president of the divorce court,
that II man presented his wife with
articles of jewelry or clothing for use
only during his lifetime and only to
be used as what was legally termed
'paraphernalia," such articles did
not become the wife's absolute prop.
erty.
1t seems that the legal position Is
this: the term paraphernalia includes
all wearing apparel and ornaments
suitable to the wife's station in life
which are given to her only to be
worn as ornaments of the person only,
but the term does not include family
Jewels or gifts from strangers. A
wife cannot dispose of paraphernalia
In the lifetime of her husband, nor
can she dispose of them by will. The
husband, even during his wife's life.
time may sell or give her parapherna-
liza to strangers, and paraphernalia
are also liable for the husbands
debts. 1t would be distinctly annoy
ing to wife to have her dresses
seized at the instance of, say, the hus-
bands cigar merchant, but that is
how the English law stands to-day.
The case recalls another decision Civ.
en- not long ago, that money saved by
a wife out os her housekeeping allow.

Cake RattCr.

Usually a cake batter is Of such
consistency that it needs to be spread
in the pan. Sometimes the heat of
the oven will cause it to sink to
level before cooking begins, but, as a
rule, the batter should be spread with
a spoon and drawn away from the
centre of the pan toward the edges.
Exact proportions Of ingredients tnat
will answer for all cakes cannot be
given. In general, twice as much
flour, by measure, as of LIQUID is a
safe rule. Eggs are' copfidefed a
liquid, but half cup of milk could
not replace half a cup Of eggs. Butt
ter equal to one-third the volume Of
flour is not often exceeded Brom
half to two-thirds the volume Of hour
is the usual proportion Of sugar.--

The Deed of 4 Mother.

With mothers disregard of dan

the risk of her own life, Mrs. j. b.
Stephenson, of Fulton, Mo, frail
little woman, lowered herself into an
eighteen-foot we'll, saved her two
year-old child from drowning and
climbed to the top, holding the child
in her teeth by it's dress.
The babe was playing near the we'll
top. which had been left open, and
stepped Off backward Mrs. Stephen

The father of the child was not at
home, nor we're there any male neigh

Fearing that she would be seized

Amos Pickens' hill farm sprawls

Ten-Mile Creek, the old frame house
being more than mile from that of
the nearest neighbor. On Saturday
Amos had had his leg broken while
telling tree, and now lay helpless in
bed, with the limb in splints. Tues
day noon Mrs. Pickens had set off for
the nearest store after groceries. She
was certain to have a tedious drive
over bad roads, and could not possi-
bly, return home before nightfall.
Bessie, aged sixteen, with four
year-old Nell, was left at home to
care for her father and the stock. At
B O'Clock, leaving him asleep, she
went to the barn to feed and water
the cattle and horses. She was on
the way to the pigsty with basket
of corn, when Nell came running to
her, pointing and shouting:
Bessie! See! See! Big dog!"
The girl glanced off across the big
pasture, and stared for a moment in
silent surprise. That lurching Great

what was it? She had never seen a

ist. Mrs. Ward attributed the ai-
legged decline in the movement to the
organized opposition of women. Mrs.
Howe says:
"The change in favor of the move
ment among women is especially
marked. The organized opposition
among women is very small COM
pared with the organized movement
in its favor. Out of forty-six States
only four have anti-suffrage associa-
tions, and two of these are almost too
small to be properly called associa-
tions. There are suffrage associa-
tions in thirty-three States and sew
eral Territories. At the time of the
last constitutional convention in New
York the suffragists secured 100000
signatures to their petition, while the
ants secured only $4,000"

The sash is a little less prominent
than few weeks ago
Palest shades of maroon and pearl
are favorites in gloves.
Wells in two colors, one over the
other, are in growing favor.
The best coiffures aim at Greel
and Roman styles for the hair.
Fruits and flowers figure in the de
signs upon mems neckwear.
Vieing with the net waist is a sheer
fine mousseline, very much like cloth
Coats and bonnets for girls follow
closely the picturesque styles of last
season.
Silhoutte portraits are again fash.
ionable and are beginning to fill dain.
ty picture frames.
Barrettes are wider and broader
than heretofore and almost cover the
head under the knot
Black facings are used with dark
or black hats and dark facings re
lieve bright or light colored hats.
The hood Is quite fashionable, and
nothing accommodates itself so well
TO the sort of hair dressing now ir
vogue.
One Of the skirt fads of the season
is the ornamenting of the back pan,
els, while the front is entirely unre
lieyed.
Gray suede pumps are permissible
with all sorts of gowns for evening
wear, and the newest ones are very
pretty.
The points" of gloves, the stitch
ing down the backs. are much heavier
this season than they have been in Q
long time.
Hat models Of 1890 are closely cop
led in some of the latest creations
and rare paintings of that period are
in demand for patterns.
Again the white and colored knitted
gloves are in high favor for walking
and sometimes they are drawn over
the fine gloves when It is quite cold.
Though fashion cares not whether
they match in material, there is or
absolute decree that the skirt and
corsage of this season shall match IN
color.
Among the new separate waists
there are Persian crepe de chine mod.
els with tucked wash net yokes and
undersleeves. The yokes and frills
trimming the waists are run with silk
floss to give the needed color.

Upholstery Laces.

1t is interesting to know how many
women this season are buying lace at
the upholstery department for gown
trimming. The filet and Egyptian
designs are kept there in wide variety
and lesser price than at the regular
lace counter.
Heretofore there was a wide gulf
fixed between the laces one put in the
room and on ones gown. This is
changed. Women deck themselves
with those that belong to curtain,

Is kindly nurse shall come some day

And wake TO read in Angel eyes

cause her teeth were not what they
would have been had she lived in this

laughed she would put her handker-
chief to her lips and so set the style.
In the present day the handkerchief
is as little in evidence as possible, and
even a small corner of It is not al
lowed to protrude beyond the edge of
