The New York Street Mission station,
In charge of Mr. Cliandler, of the Sec
ond Presbyterian church, la doing very
good work. During the Christmas en
tertainment that was held last week
four Bibles were presented to scholaro
that committed the shorter Catechism,
and five of the scholars were given
presents for perfect attention during
the year. For the winter months u
night school has been organized for the
scholars, which Is held every Monday
and Thursday evenings, when a stuff of
teachers from the Second Presbyterian
church volunteer their Bervlce to teach
those attending. On Wednesday of each
week a very successful prayer meeting
Is held, and the Endeavor society that
was recently organized has a member
ship of forty-nve persons and ah aver
age attendance of about fifty-five.
Dr. Tulmagc. -
Fire disheartened De.Wltt Talmage
60 that he resolved not to build a new
church In the City of Churches. Many
oonjeotures were made as to his future,
when It was positively known that the
Tabernacle would not be built, but
those who predloted that the preacher
that had drawn an audience of 6,000
persons to hear him Sunday after Sun
day for years, would not go far away
from the scenes of his most glorious
pulpit achievements, were not far from
the mark. Dr. Talmage is to return to
New York city, and his many friends
have advised him to hold services in the
Academy of Music every Sabbath after
noon at 4 o'clock. This hour is chosen
that his services may not conflict with
those conducted by other pastors in the
city. In.commenting on this resolution
of the divine one of his admirers breaks
forth In the following refrain: "Why
should Dr. Talmndge not preach at any
time or all day long and let the other
preachers suffer if they must? The
duty of such a strong swimmer Is to
plunge in and save drowning souls,
no matter who else may be swimming
out toward them." Men differ as to
their estimate of this great preacher,
but without doubt his name is the most
familiar of pulpit orators In the homes
of the land, and probably never were
the sermons of any man read as uni
versally and with as much avidity as
those of this divine. He. said that he
felt In him yet twenty years of labor,
and there Is but little doubt but his
pulpit powers will draw to the Acad
emy of Music an audience that will
rival that which thronged the Brooklyn
Tabernacle. At least, it will be Inter
esting to watch developments as this
(Ciant takes the rostrum In New York
city.
The Rcscuo Mission.
The Rescue Mission, on Franklin ave
nue. Is not as widely known as It
should be, and the good done by Mr.
and Mrs. Sanborn, who have charge of
the work, deserves commendation.
F.very night of the week the first floor
of the building Is open and prayer and
praise service Is held, and, generally,
there Is a full room. The place Is kept
clean, la filled with chairs, and on ithe
walls are. familiar and striking tests
from Scripture. The Binglng is inspir
ing, and many remarkable testimonies
are given by some of ithe people who at
tend and 'have, by means of ithls sta
tion, found a Savior.
This work has largely been carried on
ty the generosity of a band of Chris
tian men Irs one town, who aire still at
the head of 'the work, but as It grows,
ithe demand for funds Increases and
the work has euffere'd of late from
the lack of the necessary supply. The
executive board has granted permis
sion ito Mr. Sanborn to bring the work
of the mission before - our churches,
and last Sunday the door of ithe Provi
dence Presbyterian church was thrown
open and the audience heard something
of the noble work done by the Rescue
mission in our city. Addresses were
made by Mr. Sanborn, Dolph B. Ather
ton amd Rev. George E. Guild. : An of
fering was made to aid the work, which
amounted ito aver .$80. . The work , will
undoubtedly be presented to other
churches, and an organization that Is
calculated to do much good to the way
ward and the unfortunate should com
mend Itself ito the Christian community
of the city.
Good Work Copied.
About one year a so, the Providence
Presbyterian thurcli made a vigorous
effoiit to remove the debt on their house
of worship. They took the Old Testa
ment mcitihod of contributing one-tenth,
and each member In the church pledged
himself to give 'that year a tenth of his
Income. The plan was.consclentlously
carried "through, and the result iistim-
isheed the most sanguine expectation of
both pastor and people. The debt was
removed and the current expenses of
the church were amply provided for.
This scheme that was so successful
got into the religious press and was
copied In many papers in the United
States, and unto this day It is gret'Ti in
the memory of sotne pastors who labor
4n churches encumbered by heavy
debt. Lately, a pastor In New England
wrote to Rev. George E. Guild, pastor
of the above church, requesting a Ue
tailed account of the method pursued
by him to remove ithe debt. And that is
only one of many similar letters re
celved toy Mr. Guild from clergymen in
this and other states; and he Is confl
dent, if Ms scheme is conscientiously
carried out 1n organizations that, are
handicapped because of heavy financial
burdens, that it will soon bring com
fort to the Jieants of Hie oppressed, as
they see their iburdens rolled away.
This church Is pursuing the same line
of activity, and the recent movement
tamong Its young people to give of their
Income syatemaifjlcatly to the work of
the Lord, is calculated to train them in
benevolence and liberality. ' When the
finances of the church aire In good con'
dltilon, .'Uhb spiritual activities are bet
ter attended to, , " .

not, then the old rates will be restored.

MY PHILOSOPHY.
t alius argy that a man 1
Who does about tho best he can J
Is plenty good enough to suit ' : .
This lower mundame Institute; i :
No matter ef his dally walk
Is subject fer his neighbor's talk, '
And critic minds of ev ry whim
Jest all get up and go fcr him.
It's nachural enough, I guess,
When some gets mora and some gets less
Fer thorn thut's on tho slimmest side
To claim It ain't a fulr divide;
And I've knowed some to lay In Walt
And get up soon nnd set up late
To ketch some fellow they would hate
Fer goln at a faster gait.
The signs Is bad when folks commence
A-tlndln fault with Providence
And balkln cause the world don't shake
At ev'ry prancln step they take. '
No man Is great till he can see
How less than little he would be
Kf stripped to self, and stark and bare
He hung his sign out everywhere, ,
My docterln Is to lay aside ' "
Contentions and be satisfied.
Jest do your best, and praise or blume
That toilers that count jest the same, .
I've alius noticed great success v
Is. mixed with trouble more or less.
And it's the man who does the best
That gits more kicks than all the rest.

WAIT FOR THE MORNING.
Wait for the morning It will come, In
deed,
As surely as the night hath given need.
The yearning eyes, at last, will strain
their sight, -
No more unanswered by the morning
light.
No longer will they vainly strive through
tours
To pierce the darkness of thy doubts and
fenrs, i
But, bathed In balmy dews and rays of
dawn,
Will smile with rapture o'er the darkness
gone.
Walt for the morning, O, thou smitten
child,
Scorned, scourged, and persecuted, and re
vlled.
Athlrst and famishing, none pitying thee,
Crowned with the twisted . thorns of
agony r
No faintest gleam of sunlight through the
dense
Infinity of gloom to lead thee thence
Walt, thou, for the morning It will come,
Indeed, '
An surely us the night hath given need.

In a recent number of Household
News Dr. Charles M. Seltzer gives some
timely and sensible advice pertinent,
unfortunately, to Cmnst readers. He
says: "My own belief Is that the con
dition that makes one susceptible to
cold Is usually occasioned by the sur
plus of waste material, the result of
over-feeding or of bad digestion, and
that this effete matter, In Its endeavor
to be excreted. Irritates the lining mem
brane of the breathing tuact. I also be
lieve that because these various forms
of 'cold' are most common In persons
who are subject to some of the various
forms of rheumatism or gout, that the
waste material that thus tries to escape
Is largely derived from an excess of
food, mostly of an animal origin. Tho
waste material from animal or nitro
genous food should be excreted by
the skin nnd kidneys; but low tempera
ture or cold checks the action of the
skin and thus throws the entire work of
excretion upon the kidneys. Wheif the
work for these organs becomes excess
slve then the waste accumulates In the
system, and from this accumulation af
ter exposure to low temperature arises
the Inflammation of the breathing tract.
which Is commonly designated as a
'cold.' "
111. UT .11 J I ft, 1 1 i. 'J IU0UC 19 IU NtUUUJ
Ithe condition and gradually conduct the
case to recovery. This is safer . and
better than the usual attempts to
"break it up" with large doses of qui
nine and whlsky. or either alone. The
best method to pursue Is to first relax
the patient and ftart all the secretive
organs Into great activity. This is ac
compllshed by rest In a warm andiiiv
changing temperature, so that the skin
may do Its 'full nhare of the work.
This work can be augmented by hot
baiths, foot baths, tub or Turkish, and
the use of large, hot, non-stlmulat
ing drinks, such aslcmonade(not sweet),
various teas or plenty pf hot water
sipped slowly. Hut little medicine Is
needed In this stage of the attack, and
that only to Increase the activity of
those other two great excretory organs,
the kidneys and the bowels. The food
taken at this time should be the least
possible In both quantity and quality
that will satisfy the patient. It would
be better If none were taken for at
least twenty-four hours. There Is no
danger of starvation or undue weakness
following a voluntary fast of a day or
two. Never urge a patient who has
previously been well to take food dur
InK the first two 'or three days of an
acute inflammatory trouble. At the end
of this time the active symptoms will
have subsided If tho above course has
been pursued, and then a gradual re
turn to the ordinary food may be per
mit'ted to take place In a few days
more. Stimulants are never needed,
except where there Is marked debility
or a tardy convalescence. "Fresh colds,'
and "one cold on top of another," are
usuully the 'result of undue haste to re
turn to tihe ordinary modes of living.
Prevention Is better than cure, so let
us see what can be done to prevent
taking cold. First, avoid all excesses
of food, especially meats and sweets. If
the appetite Is strong let vegetables
and fruits make up the bulk of food
token. Do not use tea or coffee, as they
retard tissue change and the excretion
of waste. Use plenty of good, clear,
soft water at leust from three to four
tumblers a day. Tuke plenty of out
door exercise, so ns to use up all sur
plus food. A sustained effort of . at
least thirty minutes a day at such
exercise as vigorous walking, or its
equivalent, will do wondefs In purify
ing and balancing the circulation of the
blood. A dally cold of tepid sponge
bnth, followed hf a brisk rub down,
will help much In increasing the healthy
action of the skin and making it re
spond more quickly to sudden changes
of temperature. ooI next to the skin,
or, next best, over thin gauze, Is ab
solutely necessary for those who easily
take cold. Breathing through the nose
must also.be insisted upon; mouth
breathing being a very frequent cause
of tonsllltls and sore throat. Sometimes
surgical Interference is necessary to
make nose-breathing a success. If
these directions ore lived up to, "colds"
will be few and far between, and
chronic catarrhs and large tonsils will
be less prevalent.
The New York Herald emphasizes
the need of antiseptic precautions to
keep the mouth always free from Ais-ease-produclng
microbes, and more es
pecially In sickness and old age. The
cavity of the mouth contains Innu
merable microbes that are lodged in
the tartar or between the teeth and
multiply there Indefinitely, becoming1
the source of various compluints of the
gums, and in some cases even the point
of origin of an Infectious complaint.
The most minute cleanliness of this
cavity Is therefore Indispensable.
Among the' best antiseptic agents is a
2 per cent. Solution of boric or salicylic
acid. In addition a stiff brush should
be used,, even If It should "make the
gums bleed at first." And this brush
should be kept standing In clean water
and disinfected once a week in a solu
tion -of corrosive sublimate (one to a
thousand). During illness It is of the
utmost Importance to keep the mouth
clean. . Patient should be encouraged
to rinse out their mouth and gargle
their throats from time to time with a
Vegetable, orange or lemon juice, and
their teeth should be cleaned twice-a
day with a soft bruBh and a very weak
solution of salicylic acid, i It Is advis
able not to watt until patient ask to
drink, but to oiler them, at least every
hour,- some fresh water or lemonade.
Abundant drinking during Illness not
only has ah excellent effect by. the
mechanical flushing of the system It
occasions, but It also has the advantage
of preventing the mouth from becom
ing dry.
Apropos of repeated admonitions to
eat lavishly of fruits, a London health
Journal suyS: ' Fruits are tho natural
correctives for disordered ' digestion,
but tho way in -which many persons eat
them converts them into a curse rather
than a blessing. Instead of being taken
on an empty stomach, or In combina
tion with simple grain preparations,
such as bread, they are frequently
eaten with oily foods or they are taken
at the end of the meal, after the stom
ach is already full, and perhaps the
whole mass of food washed down with
tea, coffee, or other liquid. Fruits to do
their best work should be eaten either
on an empty stomach or simply with
bread never with vegetables. In the
morning, before the fast of the night
has been broken, they are not only ex
ceedingly refreshing, but they serve as
a natural stimulus to the digestive or
gans. And to produce their fullest, fin
est effect, they should be ripe, sound
and. of good quality. In our climate
fresh fruit should constitute not the fin
ishing, but the beginning of the meal,
particularly the breakfast, for at least
six months In the year. The good ef
fects that would follow the abundant
use of fruits are often more than coun
terbalanced by the pernicious habit of
saturating them with sugar. Very few
milts, if thoroughly ripe and at their
best, require any sugar, particularly If
eaten In the raw state, but it unfortu
nately as a fact that what Is Intended
and prepared for us as a great good In
the mutter of diet should be trans
formed Into exactly the reverse.
YOURS FOR HEALTH:
It is a curious fact that hair will not
grow upon Bears.
To reduce the size of hard corn, rub It
with a fine sandpaper.
Occasionally wash the head with water
In which a little vinegar has been diluted.
It will cleanse both balr and scalp.

A mother with a nursing baby must be
careful to keep herself well nourished
and take plenty of sleep. If she does not,
she will not have good milk for the child.
She must also be careful about bathing,
so thut the child will not take impurities

A warning has been sounded In the way
in which books from a circulating II
brury should be handled. It Is conveyed
In the suggestion: Don't wet the fingers
to turn leaves of such books. The au
thorltles among the circulating libraries
in Dresden have been conducting a series
of experiments to determine If books in
general use become a medium for the com
munication of Infection. Soiled leaves
were rubbed first with dry fingers and
then with wet ones, and the results mi
croscopically examined. No microbes, or
few, were found on the dry fingers, but
many on the others.
Never cut or trim the eyebrows. Thler
beauty Includes delicacy delicacy In
curve, width nnd texture. Trimming
them destroys this by causing them to
grow coarse, stiff und "wild." To get the
well-defined, narrow arch many beauties
pinch the icyebrows afteir annotating
them with oil to make the hair glossy. A
stray,, wiry .or gray hair may be removed
with a tweezers, but should never be cut.
On the other hand, eyelashes are culti
vated by clipping them once a year.
Hairdressers call It "topping" them, and
the term Is pertinent. Only the irregular
tip ends should be cut, and this can only
be done by unother. Cutting the lashes
weakens he eyes, remember that. Phila

HELPS FOR THE HOUSEKEEPER
Chloroform Is excellent for carpet bugs.
Rub spoons with salt to remove egg
stains.
Pails and tubs saturated with glycerine
will not shrink.
A traspoonf'il of lime water to a pitcher
of milk is very beneficial.

will keep flies oft gilt frames.

A delightful novelty has been provided
for tho ginger ale bottlo. This consists of
a silver slab on a tunkurd, with a round
hole In the middle, 'which the bottle Just
fills.
If you don't believe oyster or clam
Bhells, put against the bricks of a furnace
or range, are a remedy for clinkers, Just
try them once, and you will be convinced
of the truth of the oft-repeated state
ment. To prevent the Juice from pies running
over, thrust little funnels of white paper
Into the ruts on top, through which the
steam may escape and tho Juice boll up,
and run bark Into the pie again when it
stops cooking.
If your furnltnre Is dull and needs Its
lustre restored, try a polish made from
two parts of raw linseed oil and one of
turpentine. Mix thoroughly and briskly
with a dry cloth. This polish Is used by
furniture dealers.
Coffee spots on a damask cloth may be
removed by a mixture of warm water, the
yelk of an egg and a few drops of wine.
After the application the cloth should be
washed, when the stain will be found to
have disappeared.
Two uses for eggs are not generally
known or appreciated. A fresh egg beat
en and thickened with sugar, freely eaten,
will relieve hoarseness, and the skin of a
boiled egg, wet and applied to a boll, will
draw out the soreness.
