The following article is clipped from St. Mark's 1'arish Monthly, published at Adams, Mass., by Rev. Dr. L. Zahner, a former rector of St. Paul's Church, Bloomsburg. It is quite likely that Adams is not the only place where the work suggested by Dr. Zahner is needed. If every paribh would follow his advice in this matter, it would be a great help to the church and to the rector. He says : " A stranger in 'a strange land " might be paraprhrascd as a " stranger in a strange church." The service comes home to strangers with sweet famLliai ity ; but the familiar faces, the warm hand clasp, the friendly greet ing, all are lacking 1 Fellow parishion ers ! let it not be said of us that " strangers within our gates " remain strangers long. Find out their places of residence, call on them at their homes, welcome them warmly, urge them to become members o some one of the parochial organizations that they may become interested in parish work. Do not let this matter rest entirely with your rector. Let the members of the parish take it to their hearts and show their Christian friendliness for the good of our parish and for th3 ciuse of Christ. Too much can scarcely be said on this subject. It is our duty, it should be our pleasure, to cordially greet the strangers to make them feel welcome among us and thus to commend to them our parish and Church. The showing of a little more open arid cordial feeling among ourselves would uot be amiss, but it is especially due to strangers. One afternoon every week, or every two weeks, set apart conscientiously for parish visiting, would not materially interfere with our duties, domestic or social, and would do so much toward promoting that good will and sociability which is the mainspring of parochial prosperity and the sign of Christian love and brotherhood." The Soranton Business College- The really phenomenal success that has attended this institution since its inception, making it in less than two years one of the leading; schools in the country in point of numbers in attend ance as well as in all other respects, speaks well for the reputations Messrs Buck and Whitmore have won for themselves. No young man or woman can1 do a wiser thing than take a course at this school, l he steady demand for book keepers and stenographers makes it difficult for the proprietors to qualify students rapidly enough to fill all of the positions offered., All mail in quiries receive prompt attention.

The nrt of I keeping to yourself whnt you hear on t'noh Bide of the house, Is one that you must cultivate, for it mcmiH the kec in(T of pence. Surely, you would not wish to hurt your IiuhIxhkI, and yet you will do it If you cannot keep quiet When you enter his mother's house, anything that Id told to you in confi dence must bo forpotten when you leave it, unless, indeed, it Jh discussed with your husband, and the same rule will apply to your own family. Don't Imnpine that every little frown, every little illsiiRTcenble word is meant for you, and do not retail to your husband anything unpleasant that mny have happened when you were visiting at his mother s house, lhlnk that she is your mother, too, and plve her the priv ilege of speaKing to you as your siouier does. I know it isn't always easy to liav fault found with one when one is trying' to do one's best, but think over what is said, if there is anything help ful in it. It is in the woman s power to make or nmr the sanctity of mar riage by the manner in which she ac cepts it responsibilities. It is as due to the earnest endeavors of a good wife that many a husband has been re claimed or prevented from leading the downward path, as, unfortunntely, it is that carelessness or indiiTerence or neglect from tho "weaker half" in physical strength has weakened her power nnd made her influence useless. OUNCES OF. PREVENTION. Wear a clean apron while ironing or bed-making. To clean bamboo furniture use a brush dipped in salt wuter. The eyes should bo bathed every night in cold wuter just before retiring and they will do better work the follow ing day. When very tired lie on the back, al lowing every muscle to relax, letting the hands go any way they will, and keep the eyes closed. If you have to sew all day change your seat occasionally and so obtain rest. Iiathing the face and Lands will also stimulate and refresh. Oil stains may be removed from wall paper by applying for four hours pipo clay, powdered and mixed with water to the thickness of cream. For stains in matting from grease wet tho spot with alcohol, theu rub on white costilu soap. Let this dry in a cake and then wash olT with warm salt water. LATEST BRIDAL FAD. A Very Htylluh nnd t'HCful Addition to the Ilrlili '4 t'oatumn. The latest bridal fad is tho "sac Mar guerite," a shield-shaped bug, made of velvet or satin and painted with flowers which form the main floral decoration of tho wedding feast. Tho decorative elirysantheiuum, the simple daisy, tho rare orchid, or tho bride's rose can be faithfully represented by this delight ful art. Tho "sac" In this cuso is made of crean-colored satin, edged with cliiiTon frill. It is attached to the right side of the dress by two satin ribbons, with TnK MAItCl'liHITE BAG l'OIl DI1IDES. rosettes on tho flap, where the mono gram of tho owner Is usually puiuted. A spruy of orange blossoms decorates the bag and tho small prayer book used on that occasion is incused in ivory satin with a spray of the same hymeneul emblems. These bags are an elegant addition to the bridal costume, very stylish, and useful as well. St Louis Republic Here's Some Good Advlc. Don't roll your eyes up into your head as if they were marbles. A line puir of eyes will be utterly ruined by this operation. The girl with a pretty mouth will purse it up into the pret tiest bouton and continue the habit 11 u til many lines form about the lips and tho lovely mouth has to be put inti) the hands of a beauty doctor. Nearly every woman bites or sucks her lips. Others contract the brows and produce two furrows between tho eyes. Others wrinkle the forehead, with frowns. Others perpetually wear a tip-tilted nose. Tho true expressive face doesn't consist of a set of features hung on strings or wires. Do cultivate placid features. A miff, LITTLE THINGS. One dny a llttlo acorn drnpnod Iinwn from rallve trn.

Every real Iwy likes coasting. It is it very healthy nnd exciting amuse ment, and if proper care is taken it is not dangerous. A double-runner should be at least five feet long, and strong enough to curry two or three boys comfortably. Any boy who has a few simple tools and a fair amount of common-sense can make one if he follows these direc tions. Well-seasoned pine will do very well, but some hnrder wood, as oak or black walnut, would make a Bomewhat T3 car no. 1. strotiger frame. The argument against hard-wood is that it Is much more diffi cult to "work" than pine. All the lum ber thould be about one inch thick. The first thing to be done is to make the sleds. Tig. 1 shows the size and dimensions of the side of a sled. AD are the end views of the braces, which, as can be scn in the figure, are to be litted into the side. In Fig. 2 is shown tho top view of a sh1! before the top board is put on. Make the. two sleds as shown above; the dimensions are given in Fig. 1, except the width of the sleds, which is ten inches. Ho sure that the braces ore strong and fit tightly. Screw the top c D FIG. S. boards which are to cover the braces and the spaces betmveen them to the fdeds, and across tho front end of the front sled fasten a strong wooden bar long enough to project four or five inches on either side. This in the steer ing bar, and tho person sitting on the front part of the double-runrier can tku steer comfortably with his feet, but ho also should have in his hands a rope attached to the front sleds of the runners. Taint tho sleds as soon as they are made, to prevent warping. Now wo are ready for the turning gear. The general plan can be seen in Fig. 3. C is u sectional view of the long top board of tho double-runner and D is a sectional view of the top board of the front sled. A stout bolt acts as a pivot, around which the two pieces M and N, which are screwed to C and D, turn. The dimensions are given In the figure. The buck sled now remains to be fas tened in place. Fig. 4 shows a very Ingenious device. It is a side view. At II there is a hinge which allows the front part of the sled to tie up when, the double-runner is going over n hilltop. The bar marked K is firmly icrewed to the long seat board P. The no. 4. breadth of K is, of course, equal to that of tho Bled, viz., ten inches. The top board P is five feet long., having fastened the back sled to the top board as described above, the double-runner is finished, except that it needs some steel runners and a coat of paint. Therefore go to a blacksmith who likes boys, and get him to make runners to fit the sleds. Fasten them 011, and paint the whole double-runner, top and bottom. You will then have a sled fit for a king. Naturally. Doctor How did tho child sleep? Mother With her eyea closed.
