DYE FROM MOSS.

Beautiful shades of brown may be
had by the dyer whose home is in the
country from the use Of easily &C.
quired materials. The brown moss
and lichens that grow plentifully in
some sections on rocks, fallen trees
and fences make a delightful dye,
giving fast color and one that will
not fade as do many brown dyes.
Boil the moss in enough water to
rather more than cover it. Strain
It and put in the goods. For light
brown only short time is required.
For darker shades leave longer in the
dye. If left in very long time the
color will deepen until it is almost
black.

MANS SURE DUTY IN LIFE.

Whether we regard life as lane
leading to dead wall-a mere bags
end, as the French would say-or
whether we think of it as a vestibule
or gymnasium, where we wait our
turn and prepare our faculties for
some noble destiny; whether we
thunder in pulpit, or pule in little
aesthetic poetry books about its van
ity and brevity; whether we look
justly for years of health and vigor,
or are about to mount into a bath
chair, as a step toward the hearse !;
In each and all of these views and sit
uations there is but one conclusion
possible; that man should stop his
ears against paralyzing terror, and
run the race that is set before him
with a single mind.-Robert Louis
Stevenson.

BIBLE CLASS or DEAF-MUTEs
That at Atlanta, Ca, 10 the Original
OF Nine Now In Various South
ern, Cities

There is no UNCONVENTIONAL life
in the deaf-mute Bible class of At
lanta, Ca, though it is taught each
Sunday morning in the schoolroom
of st. Marks Methodist church.
Their affection is the bond that
unites its members in their study of
the Word of God.
The Atlanta class is the original
of nine that exist now in the south.
The eight others are in Memphis,
Nashville, Chattanooga, Louisville,
Birmingham, New Orleans, Raleigh
and Jackson, Miss. The Atlanta
class is the only one among them
whose teacher is possessed of nor
NAL hearing and speech.
The sign language of ideas, in con-
trast with that of letters, is used al
most wholly in the class. The letters
were too slow, the teacher found very
early in his experience-though the
authorities from whom he learned
the language counseled the use of
letter signs as much more proper.
The scholars deemed them dull.
Then he tried the idea signs, fash
ing his meaning quickly to the eyes
of his class, and their response in
awakened interest was immediate.
The sign for Jesus, for instance, is
made by touching the open palm Of
each hand with the middle finger of
the opposite hand, this denoting the
holes made there in the Christs
hands by the spikes of the cruel
fxion.-Christian Herald.

ROMPERS THAT ARE SMART
Copy Of Dutch style 10 the One Most
Approved at the Present
Moment.

The past cry in rompers for children
of between one and five years of age
Is the Dutch boys play suit. Every
body who has ever seen a Dutch folk
picture knows the model The waist,
which fastens In the back, Is made In
one straight piece. fits the figure snug
ly and has medium-sized arm-eyes into
which long sleeves are sewed. There
Is no fulness to the blouse about the
waist line, where 1t buttons fatty onto
the broad band of the trousers which
are exceedingly full about the hips,
and below the knees fit the legs and
ankles closely. Instead of the peck
cts being sunken into the side seams
of the trousers, they are put on in
patch style at the front of the hips
and are large enough to carry any
reasonable amount of childish Junk"
The model which made the hit with
fond mothers has waist of Turkey
red cotton and trousers of dark blue
cutton, but the rompers are also very
cute looking In tan and dark brown
and in white and dark shade. The
beauty of these new rompers is that
the little girl wearing them may play
as hard and as long as ever she is al
lowed to in the sunshine without tan
ming her forearms and lower legs, as
the long sleeves and trousers perfect
ly protect them. Incidentally the long
trouser legs save the wear and tear on
stockings, as they extend quite to the
ankles.

great thing, being done at these
headquarters. It. impressed me
that it is very much alive and the
party of the future.
Il learned in Washington that
Mr.. Lovett, chairman of the other
committee in the First district has
minated that he would like for
the national congressional commit
tee to pass upon the regularity Of
his committee. take it that Mr..
Lovett has reference to the ma
tional congressional committee
dominated and brought about by
the Chicago national convention,
which convention, as the people
know, refused to allow the peo-
pie to rule or to select as their
choice Col. Theodore Roosevelt,
who could have been President of
the United States today. am
quite sure that if the people of the
congressional district would not
think of letting such a congress
ional committee pass on the reg
ularity of the two committees,
when Col. Roosevelt carried the
congressional district by over
1000 majority. But lam willing
to have the. national progressive
republican committee pass upon
the regularity of the two commit
tees, and the wish of the people
be respected"
