" A STB ANGER IN A STROBE
LAND."
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 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

When you enter his mother's house,

to make or nmr the sanctity of mar

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

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

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.

How Any llrlght Hoy Can Make a Small
1 Double ftunner.
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

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.
