Develop ChiId.Faith.

A thoughtful ~biographer has re-
marked, in dealing with the life or a
devoted missioner, whose early man
hood had been spent away tiSm
Christ, that careful observation has
convinced him tlat when the hearts
of the young "are turned Christward.
although early impression may seem
eyanescent, the first directions re-
turn after many days" Naturally,
he has strongly deprecated that dis
arrangement of early piety which,
alasi is by no means an uncommon
fault on the part of thoughtless pa
rents. This he terms "a terrible ana
most awful mistake" and adds;
1.-The right course is. by every
method. and, by a religious atmos-
phere of home and school, to form
that clinging of faith which is natu-
raj to a child. Where there Is a rich
nature. there will be emotion. To
the emotion in such a case
will be to prevent or kill the faIth.
The child emotion will be corrected
by time; the faith. through it may
seem to falter. will, through Gods
grace. assert itself again."-London

clothes were Of satin, white, black
and brown being the ~favorite aolors
of the day. The knee-breeches
buckled at the knee, most Of the
buckles being of precious metal and
set with brilliants. White silk stock
ings were worn with low shoes, gar
nished with gold or silver buckles.
They wore their hair powdered and
~"clubbed" at the back. Most of them
wore small silver-hilted court swords.
The diplomats appeared in the heay-
lily embroidered court costumes of
their respective countries, while the
officers of the little standing army
appeared in their natty buff and blue,
General Knox, the Secretary of War,
making an imposing figure.
Washington, at his wife's recep-
tions, did not stand by her side, but
mingled as a guest among the COM
pany, making 1t a rule to converse
briefly with every one present before
they left. On these occasions he
a light-colored coat and fancy
waistcoat, and black small-clothes,
md appeared without a sword.
Refreshments of plum cake, coffee
and tea were always served under the
direction of Fraunces, who had
charge of the culinary department of
the Washington household. When
Mrs. Washington held an afternoon
levee, a few of the guests were in
vited to remain to the family dinner,
which was served by Fraunces, gor-
geous in livery, and with his hair as
thickly powdered as that Of any of
the guests.
At W~ashington's own levee, which
occurred or Tuesday afternoons, the
President dressed In "a black velvet
coat and breeches, his hair in full
dress, powdered and gathered behind
in a silk bag, yellow gloves, and hold
ing a cooked hat with a cockade on
it, and the edge adorned with a black
feather about an inch deep. He
wore knee and shoe buckles, and a
long sword with a finely wrought and
polished steel hilt; the coat worn
over the blade. the scabbard Of pol

Washington was one of the tallest
men Of his time, extremely dignifed,
accustomed to command, and to tue

wife was & woman of fine presence,
of quiet dignity, and with a full ON
seriousness of all the demands Of her
position as the first lady of the land.
While neither attempted an extrava-
CANT style of living, they both felt
that they stood as the representatives
of the nation to the outer world, and
when they received distinguished for

The Conyincing Argument.

No definition of truth or argument
for truth can equal the effectiveness
of a life. It is important to remem-
Der this as we find ourselves being
carried away with zeal for our own
pet statements about the gospel.
Kingsley, in his preface to "Hypa-
tia," a y of the fifth century that
1.-THE churches of the East were van
ishing before Mohammedan invad-
ers; str.ng by living trust in that
God whom the Christians. while they
hascl aud prosecuted each other for
gpments about Him, were denying
and disappearing in every action of
their lives" Men try to prove by
logic that certain courses are right.

Personal Feeling.

ooh, it was no matter OF principle,
you know" answered a lady, when
a friend expressed surprise that in
aiding to carry out an enterprise In
which she was engaged with others,
she had accepted plans and associa-
tions known to be disagreeable to
her. "It was only a little personal
feeling of mine, and it was not nee
essary that it should have the right
of way"
The reply revealed a character
sweet and strong, trained to reason
ableness and unselfshness. With too
many the personal feeling is always
first, and claims free course whatever
may be hindered or pushed aside by
it. Mood and prejudice, like and DIS
like, take the right of way and DOM
mate the life; everything with which
they have to do must go carefully
round them if it goes at all.
1t is rare s~elf-control when one has
learned to govern ones likes and dis
likes rather than be governed by
them; to say to such feelings: You
may exist, but you shall not rule.
Duty, Justice, the right of others,
shall take precedence always. For

ward, the visitor was conducted to
the dining room, from which all seats
had been removed for the time. On
entering, he saw Washington, who
stood always in front of the fireplace,
with his face toward the door of en-
trance. The visitor was conducted
to him, and he required to have the
name so distinctly pronounced that
he could hear it. He had the very
uncommon faculty of associating a
mans name and his personal appear
ance so durably in his memory as to
be able to call one by name, who
made him a second visit. He re-
ceived his visitor with a dignifed
bow, while his hands were so dis
posed of as to indicate that the salu-
tation was not to be accompanied
with shaking hands. The ceremony
never occurred in these visits, even
with his most neal friends, that no
distinction might be made. AS visit
ors came in, they formed in a circle
around the room. At a quarter past
three the door was closed and the
circle formed for that day. He then

Dog Bites Two Before Shot.

A dog suffering from rabies ter
rorized sections of Montclair, Glen
Ridge, and East Orange. 1t bit a
young daughter of Charles L. Hol-
comb, of 10 Carroll street, East
Orange, and Charles Baker, of Mont
clair, who later killed the animal
with a revolver. Baker saw the dog
attack another dog near his home,
and tried to separate the animals.
The mad dog, frothing at the mouth,
turned on Baker and bit him in the
leg. Bakers clothing was badly torn
in the struggle that followed. The
dog then headed into East Orange,
and in North Park street attacked the
little girl. In the meantime Baker
hurried home and procured a revolt
yer. Jumping into a grocer's wagon,
he gave chase to the dog, but did not
catch up to it until after it had Bit
ten the Holeomb girl and attacked
other persons. Baker then killed the
dog with a single shot.

They had a pew in old st. Paul's
Episcopal Church, which still stands

usually accompanied the President to

to Philadelphia their social life con-
tinued on much the same lines as be-
fore. Even after Washington's re-

Wanderer Walks Into Bloomfield.

WandereP Walks Into Bloomfield.
Nicholas Schneider, proprietor of a
Bloomfield barber shop, had the I'M
usual experience of shaving his
brother Joseph Schneider, whom he
did not recognize, and whom he had
not seen for thirty-two years. Schnei-
der was busy when a stranger walked
in and took a seat. When he had
been shaved the stranger told Schnei-
der that he has improved wonderful
ly in the last thirty years. "It is
just thirty-two years since you last
shaved me-" he said. Schneider
looked the visitor over, and the two
became quite chummy, but still the
Bloomfield man did not recognize his
brother. Joseph finally told him
who he was, and there was a joyous
reunion. Schneider had thought his
brother dead. Joseph said he had
been in San Francisco for many years,
and that he had just got things run
ming smoothly after the earthquake,
and decided to visit the East to hunt
up relatives and friends.

Besides receptions, there were

both were fond of taking trips for a

Fall Brings Squirt of Flame.

James Merriman, of Weston, has
nobody except himself to blame for
loss of hair and whiskers, because
his little wife told him often that If
he persisted in carrying a match
stuck back of his a something
dreadful would happen some time"
It happened when he fell while
sprinting and lighted the match.

fire, the San Francisco earthquake
and the Galveston food.
