 A bright, and spirited paper on the ideal missionary meeting was given by Miss Stephenson. A meeting in the city of Boston was sketched with all the helps of moving pictures, letters from missionaries and a leader full or enthusiasm and power.

 The audience room was comfortably filled for the evening session. Rev. G. H. Ewing led the praise and devotional service. Unfinished bushes included appointing Miss M. D.

 | The speaker of the evening, Judge l E. M. Warner, of Putnam, was then l introduced. I was present in Hartford this morning, he said, where was the unveiling and dedication of memorials to Senators Platt and Hawley. An array of military, school children, citi- zens and veterans, all assembled to d honor to these great men. Their steady devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ was lesson to every citizen of Connecti- cut and an inspiration. Senator Plat' was credited with the foundation oi the government in Cuba and the Phil I ippines.
 One strong point made by the speak CT was that our New England people in their admiration of good schools put the intellectual above the spiritua, Parents, you are making the greatest | mlstaKe or your lives Tn not urging your children to arrange their studies with reference to going to the weekly prayer meeting of the church.

GOOD LOOKING CRAvAT.
Unusual Ties For Wear With Wash
Silk Shirt Waists.

A most unusual and good looking
cravat for wear with wash silk shirt
waists made in mannish styles is of
black satin. There is a fiat bow of the
satin and one long end of the satin
made double and widening out toward
the bottom.
This end is about eight inches long
and is one and a half inches wide at
the top and two and three-quarter
inches wide at the bottom. Six round
silver or gold buttons are placed at
half inch intervals at the lower end.
On some Of these ties a piece of
rather heavy cream fllet lace is folded
fat around the satin end about an
inch and a half from the bottom, and
the buttons are sewed in a row or the
lace.
Another black satin tie has a square
bow laid in fat plaits and one long
end of the double satin with a little
ecru valenciennes frIlled on each side
for about four inches of its length up
from the lower end. The effect is very
quaint.

POLISHING FURNITURE.
Surfaces Have Often Been Ruined by
Not Rubbing Properly.

y Vt0gHta FfVB&ffy
The prudent ~housekeeper will be as
wary of doctoring her furniture with
polish that is recommended to cover
all defects as she would be OF a patent
medicine which is guaranteed to cure
every disease.
The highly polished surfaces OF fur
niture have often been ruined by a too
free use of a so called polish which.
not having been rubbed dry. has hard
ened, has collected all the dust before
drying and has caused n dull film to
appear over the polished surfaces. A
simple and effective polish for clean
Ing furniture and removing scratches
is made OF one third linseed oil and
two-thirds benzine.
1t should be applied with a paint
brush which has very soft brlstles and
rubbed dry with an old soft piece of
muslin or soft flannel. For polishing
dampen a cloth with the mixture. fold
1t into a pad, sprinkle a few drops of
alcohol owe the surface of the pad
and rub the furniture firmly and
quickly. Rub only a small part at a
time and be sure to rub until the sur
face is quite dry.

This train made few stops. but Mt

nal from the bell cord. It slowed
down sufficiently for the conductor and
brakeman to thrust the man from the
second step of the Pullman: then it
shot ahead Mt full speed TO make mp
the few seconds lost. The tramp re-
manned standing where lie had drop
ped, his face now keen and alert. and
his right arm appraised. As it swept by
the train brushed his clothing and the
wind of it stirred his rough. unkempt
hair and beard. Three, cars passed.
then came the observation car. sud
denly his hand closed like n wise upon
the rear railing. his body swung ont
and writhed for a few moments in
midair. then his feet caught. and he
drew himself in by sheer force of mus
Gle and nerve to the same crouching
position he had occupied on the Pull
man forward.
Inside the car the other man was
now tearing the letter into the most
minute fragments. as if striving to an
initiate its contents. When the pieces
were too small for further reduction
they swept through the open window
and were scattered thinly over a half a
mile of roadbed. The man rose and
glanced about the ear. 1t was almost
empty. and the other passengers were
buried in papers or books. He turned
back quickly, opened the door. and
with a light spring threw himself from
the train, but not TO the ground, just
as he sprang, the tramp flung himself
ont suddenly, with nothing but his left
hand grasping the rail. As the two
bodies came together the tramp's right
arm closed like n steel band around
the other. while the weight of it bore
them down. down, until their legs al

arm contracted and drew them up, up
and in until finally, with a last desper-
ate effort, they were both %crouching
upon the rear platform, white, gasping,
too exhausted to stand or speak.
The well dressed man recovered first.
The horror was still in his eyes, but
with it was something more. Perhaps
that instant in midair, with death in
front, had made him see more clearly;

made possible the greater rescue from
himself. AS he rose staggeringly the
tramp's arm went out in feeble protest,

Why Not Help Any Living Thing That
Is In a Fix?


Is In a Fix?
A poet has written against a man
"who needlessly sets foot upon a
worm" And President Lincoln once
turned back in his walk to help a bug.
The friend who was walking with him
expressed surprise that the president.
burdened with the cares of a warning
nation, should find time to assist a bug.
"Well," said Lincoln, IF / had left
the bug struggling on his back l
wouldn't have felt right. l wanted to
put him on his feet and give him an
equal chance with all the other bugs of
his class"
1t may be a small thing to you that d
bug finds himself in a position in which
his legs are not long enough to reach
the ground. but put yourself in his
place. How would you feel?
Why not help any living thing that
finds itself in a fix. provided it does not
cost anything?-Minneapolis Journal.

branches lie parallel about two feet
apart. Across these two branches she
and her mate lay a little platform
about five feet in length. Near the
trunk of the tree is built a dome shap-

across the outer end of the tunnel is Il
movable gateway of thorns.
