Some Beneficial “ifs.” If love fills our hearts our hands will do for ourselves. If we dwell in peace, contentment and joy is our nortion. If _we guard our _ tongues, thoughts will be of good only. If we live in sunshine. our souls will be filled with the light of eternal things, If we live in harmony, discord, our strife and discouragement will vanish.. If we live in activity, success is a continuation. If we are truthful. we are of God. If we rest in the All Power, we are perfection. If we want to know the truth of our being—at one-ment with God— we must rise from our slumbers and accept the “ifs” of the new, Braided Rug Revival. Along with the revival of the old rag woven rugs comes that of the braided ne such as may still be seen in old New Enzland farm houses. In making these, woolen rags are used, listing that may be procured from the tailor shops being especially effective. These rags may be sewed hit or miss or in continuous bands of similar col- three large balls are ready, for instance, one red, one black and one hit or miss, the three strands are braided together to make one braid, which must be smooth and even. When a number of yards of this braid is ready, the rug maker threads a long stout needle with carpet thread and begins to sew the rug into shape, coiling the strand round and round upon itself like the convolutions of a snail. Sometimes these rugs are made circular and sometimes oval, but care must be taken that they are sewed so that they will lay ‘flat on the floor. They may be as large as desired, and have a delightful old-timey look when spread in front of the beds or fire- place. Attractive Dressing Table. The most important and conspicu- ous part of the bedroom is the dress- ing table, and every woman delights in having a pretty one. A duchess table is a pretty idea and well with- in the means of any one who is will ing to take a little trouble, and it is a charming and useful addition to the sleeping apartment. It should be low enough so that a woman can dress her hair when seated. It should also be sufficiently large to hold all of the accessories of the dressing table out- fit. The top may be either square or curved in at the centre. After the frame is made, which is a carpenter's work, it should be covered entirely with silesia of any pale color desired and place an interlining of several thicknesses of cotton batting on the top. A delicate white material will answer for the outside covering, al- though dotted swiss is most used for the purpose, and this goes on rather full. Finish around the top with a narrow ruffle edged with lace. Long curtains trimmed with lace or a ruffle of the same may be draved on both sides, and these may be thrown over a brass bar fastened into the wall near the ceiling. The frame of the square or oval mirror which is an in- dispensable adjunct may be made most attractive by covering it first with a layer of cotton batting, and putting on over this the material which matches the bottom. An or- dinary packing box has formed the foundation for many of these dainty tables, and it gives quite as good an effect as the more expensive contriv- ances, yilt edged mirrors are handso when nlaced over a table of this sort, and they maw be handsomely, though ively, draped from the ceil- bows of ribbon to match enhance the beauty of o zreatly. these Coat Corsage Ponular. is having cor things wv in the frocks, not only he coat all own W for ontdoor wear, but for parties, din- well.

And with the revival of those old- time fashions, there are charming fichus, platrons, berthas and such like effects, that are either built perma- nently upon the gown, or else take the form of extra accessories. These accord well with the new outlines that the figure is expected to assume at will.

A “Dutiful Week.” : “I am going to make this my duti- ful week,” said the girl with ‘a pur- pose. . “Lent is over,” suggested her re- sponsive friend. “It is long past, but the which should be done are not. 1 am going to tabulate them. Now, you know I have an awakened conscience when I do that. Yes, indeed, tabu- late them according to their greatest import. Things that have been hang- ing over me for weeks that will bob up and probe my conscience at the most inconvenient time. In fact, just all these small neglected duties that I spend most of my days saving I have not time for. It does not pay. I think in the end I would save more time by simply taking my third week and doing them up all at once. ‘Ac- cumulated duties,” I shall call them. First, there’s the dentist’s. Not ex- actly a duty, but a trial. The worst in the lot that shall be first crossed off. Then while out I shall return three borrowed books that have been on my conscience. Take Mrs. So and So some flowers, who has been ill all the month, and really call—yes, call— on this neglected friend, for even in this dreadful busy life one should be just a little dutiful about friends. Then in my room. Dear me! the whole week might be spent there. Clothes that must be brushed, sunned, and now put away. Discarded hats and shoes which should be gathefed to- gether to give to the laundress; clos- ets and bureau drawers to straighten. Is it not dreadful how things get ahead of one when neglected? Then my mending basket. I always think I must have an ingrowing conscience when I darn. But one’s stockings do have to be cared for occasionally. It is an expensive habit to let them go by. Then there’s a dreadful skirt braid. Is there anything one hates to do worse? I do think when I add a new skirt braid to my list of duties done my conscience should surely be quieted and my clothes last out at least two weeks.”’—Scranton Tribune. things Fashion Notes.

A charming home gown of violel and white foulard in a large symmetri cal figure, was made with a full skirt with five graduated ruffles, each one edged with a narrow fold of plain violet silk.

The stock is boned ever so 1it- tle to keep it i age, upon her prow and funnels is the salt thrown there by the high breaking waves. Men may say of her she is too large, badly proportioned, improperly constructed, her machinery is not of the latest pattern; they may erticise and accuse and point out defects, but there is no denying that she has plowed the surface of. thousands of miles of deep water and brought her precious cargo of freight and passen- gers safe and undisturbed to their des- tination. This symbolizes in a way the position of the Church of God in the world to- day. And it describes after a fashion, too, the singularity, the unique promi- nence of the Christian among the all sorts and conditions of men constitut- Ing what is known variously as society, the public, . the body politic. Never mind what the world may have or find to say against you, my Christian friend, if you do well, this well doing disarms suspicion, gains the mastery over falsehood, silences misrepresenta- tion and supplants enmity with good will. “If your works be good you do not need to have recourse to eulogy. notoriety-seeking or noise; the world has need of them; men have an in- stinctive respect and appreciation of everything conducive to the common benefit, they will win their way, they will secure their place, they, the works, not you, will exact deserved recogni- tion. A tree may be despised and spo- ken evil of. but if the fruit be healthful and sweet, pleasing to the taste, a change in the estimate of it is sure to come. By their fruits ye shall know them is a true. principle which cal- umny and envy cannot down, and from whose righteous judgment there is no appeal. St. Peter in this text was writing to Christians and churches existing jn Gentile or foreign countries and among peoples of heathen religions. Their lot was anything but pleasant, their safe- ty anything but assured. The tians of those early days were common- ly accused of being disturbers, innova- tov mischief-makers, of being layv- breakers and traitors to Caesar, of be- ing atheists and blasphemers ‘of the popular idolatry. Because the popular hatred of them they were compelled to meet secretly, to exclude outsiders from their places of worship, and this led to reports that they indulged in wild, obscene orgies. Because of the phrase “drinking of the precious blood” used in connection with the commun- ion service, it was said that they killed infants and drank their blood in their private assemblies. They were under constant suspicion and surveillance, Their enemies were ever on the alert seeking to discover faults and incon- sistencies, to uncover them in some wrongdoing. St, Peter hopes and Dbe- lieves that this close observation of the lives of the foliowers of Christ may lead to the undeceiving of their enemies as to their true character, and that from this better -nderstanding there may come a disposition to inves- tigate, to come closer, and, finally to embrace their holy religion. He is con- fident that prejudice aside and knowl- edge in its place can result in only this —its glad and willing acteptance. What an opportunity then in view of these circumstances and what an in- ducement to live exemplary lives— that others, even their bitter enemies bi severest critics, might be brought > know the only true od and Jesus shrist, whom He did send. The apos- tle’s counsel is to this effect—Dbe true to thy cause -.and to thy God, be good and do good, not merely because it gives you peace of mind and joy ‘of soul, not merely because it is to your highest and best interest—this would be looking on the side of self only—he eliminates all seliish taint from his counsel py putting emphasis upon the educativy effect of Christian conduct upon the sentiments and convictions of hostile and heathen neighbors. This is your chance, he intimates; this the means—your good works—impress them, win them, help them, in this way, by this means. All these considerations, this motive, these means are of present moment, of up-to-date interest and may be of present applicaticn. Though living in a nominally Christian age and land, practically the Christian is still sur- rounded by an envious, evil-speaking, backbiting world. They who are not 1 us are as critieal, as watchful, cager to find wherewith to accuse, barrass, expose as ever in the the apostle. Not only our own souls, not only our morals and principles are in our keeping. but the safeguarding and growth of the church, the purifica- tion and moral uplift of society, the putting down of iniquity and sin and ves, verily, the Christianization of 1 home. the family, the community, cit the salvation of the ian is as a cit iy hid—and men world. Every | on a hill—not won to will be % be Christ in proportion as each ard every Christian feels a responsibility for the | & unchurched masses, for those not in the Good Shepherd's fold, and Jost in proportion as each and eve up to the measure of his resp ity. Translated into modern | tion, the apostle’s meaning to you and | me is this: “You Chri 3, SO regu- | late your desires and take account of | your ways that your life will ‘be Dbe- coming nd worthy of your calling, and | thus the heathen, the indifferent, the pstranged and prejudiced people around you, prejudiced against Christ, will be prepared to receive the Gospel when |! ft is urged upon them.” We may tr | leading toward a godly life. And by a godly Lfe I do not refer to a mere neg- ative form of goodness—i. e., absti- nence from all the sinful desires of th> flesh—only this and nothing more. We must endeavor to make our con- duet attractive and winning. especially when we take into account or have dealings with those who are unfriendly to Christianity. We oftentimes have to do with Christians who are curt, crusty, severe, unkind and disagree- able in word and manner. We should not be surprised tc hear the remark, and we eannot but sympathize with it when made with reference to such cases: “If this be Christianity, I pray thee have me excused. I want none of it» In order to do our part there must be not merely a r-fraining from what is unbecoming and contrary to the Chris- tian profession, but there must be .a positive showing and shining forth in kindness and love of the divine life we feel within. Not only correct lives, but beautiful deeds. In accounting ' for what had impressed and convinced and converted tire world we must give high rank to-beautiful deeds. The history of the Christian Chureh literally tems with them. When the pagans deserted their near relations in a plague znd left the afflicted ones to die like dogs, s came and ministered to the "on the pagans left their dead nnburie: 1 after a battle and cast their wounded into the streets, the hristians hastened to relieve the suffering and give the corpses decent interment. We have had some very conspicuous and very sad examples recently of men high in position and thie confidence of ihe com nity, ed there largely because they were istian in name and by connection, proving themselves to De utteriy deficient in such a funda- mental and necessary virtue as eom- mon eéveryday honesty. Bank presi- dents and cashiers and even boavds of directors have not hesitated to specu- Inte with other people’s money intrast- od to their keeping and they have been found out only bécause they had lost all they could beg, borrow and steal. Beeause of the frequency of these de- falcations the Controller of the United States Currency felt impelled to speak in the plainest terms to the National Bank Cashiers’ Association, at its meet- ing the other day. He declared that outside speculation was the cause of the greatest number of bank failures, and he characterized speculation as the createst financial evil of the day. He asserted with great emphasis that no man should be allowed to hold a man- agerial place in a national bank who engaged in outside enterprises for profit to himself rather than the bank. He intimates that the temptation to double dealing in such a case is hard to resist. Why if the impression be- comes general that a Christian is not to De trusted, instead of breaking down the prejudice that exists in evil minds inst Christianity and the church, it 11 be added to and there will be not v prejudice but detestation and de- punciation and what's more, it will be ved. The stress and strain and endeavor gooms to be only for money and power and position and worldly success, as if {these were the oniy things needed, as if cotting these means getting all that is wanted. But, men and women of Christ, be not deceived or diverted from the things more necessary and more duosired. The world’s need, the Tonite of every man, woman and child on earth, the longing of your heart and mine. is for love, sympathy, kindness. The Christian is the only one profess- ing and obligated by his vow to minis. ter to, the universal human need. The world, however evil-speaking, men, however distant and critical, look to us, expect us to help them. If we, the servants of the Most High, fail them there .is no help. In the name of the Tord Jesus, beloved, let us do and do our best. to build up the good and the beautiful and the true in the hearts and lives of men, and thus transpose the enmity, hatred and scorn of the world into a higher and sweeter key of praise and glory to God. It will mean joy and gladne to ourselves, life and grace +0 others who know them not now, and honor, high and worthy honor, to the Father in Heaven. o. 4 sick and a; de What We All Need.

Funk of New Stanton, a prominent Democratic politician, by the Rev. C. BE. Stoner. Mr. Stoner alleged that he sold a horse to Funk for $130. Funk was to have the horse two weeks on trial. When the preach- er went to get his money he alleges the horse had been abused by mem- bers of the Funk family and payment was refused. Judgment in favor of Mr. Stoner was given for $130 and in- terest from July 1. Funk will appeal to court. According to a bil] filed in the com- mon pleas court at Philadelphia five directors of the Odd Fellows Mutual Life Insurance society of Pennsyl- vania, are charged by Henry F. Wal- ton, the receiver, with wrecking that eoncern. He accuses them of fraudulently transferring $60,000 from the treasury to the Mutual Life In- surance Company of Pennsylvania, and of illegally collecting $50,000 in premiums on Odd Fellows policies. A 500-barrel oil well was struck by the Rader Oil Company on the Rader farm in Connoquenessing borough.

The allied fleet, numbering 33 ships, then met the British fleet of 27 ships off Cape Trafalgar, Spain, not far from Gibraltar. In those days,’ of course, all war vessels were wooden sailing ships, and fighting was done at close quarters. The attacking ves- sel would sail boldly alongside the enemy’s vessel and the sailors would in a trice lash the two together. It was then a question of hand to hand encounters with cutlasses and pistols, while the crude cannon from the port- holes on the lower decks poured mis- siles into the oaken.sides of the en- emy’s ship. The naval vessels of those days were however less vulnerable, in com- parison with the ordnance available, than the most powerful battleship to- day. A wooden ship could be struck many times by the enemy’s cannon shots without going down, whereas a modern steel battleship may be sent to ner doom by a single well- placed shell or torpedo. The battle of Trafalgar lasted five hours, and for two hours Nelson’s fiag- ship, the Victory, was within 30 feet of thé Redoubtable, the rival French ship, each one pouring broadside af- tre broadside into the other. And still the Victory lived through. it. all, and not only that, she is in existence today, preserved in England as a re- He. The French used “fighting-tops”— which the English did not. That, is, there were perches half way up the masts for men to stand in and throw hand grenades or fire muskets. It was a musket ball from one of these fighting-tops that gave Nelson his death wound. He was shot in the back, and his dying words were the historic “Thank God, I have done my duty.” It was at the beginning of this same battle that he signalled his equally famous message to the rest of his fleet, “England expects every man to do his duty.” And every man did. Though outnumbered in vessels the English fleet completely vanquished the allies, taking 18 of their ships. Nelson died before the victory was complete, but he is revered today as no other naval comander, and a monu- ment to him in Trafalgar square, in London, tells the story of his achieve- ment. Togo’s victory was won, of course, at long range, a range simply beyond the old cast-iron cannon of Nelson's time. Togo prefers to fight at a dis- tance, and it is tnis that accounts for the wonderful immunity of his own fleet from harm, when he was ,.anm- nihilating the Russians. Tg@go’'s men, with their experienced marksmanship and coolness acquired in former bat- tles, could make hits which were im- possible to the less skilled and totally demoralized Russians. Moreover. To- go had some extra long-range Suns, and his trick was to keep just far enough from the enemy to be out of the main zone of fire and yet be able to place his own shots. The small damage done by the Russians shows that they simply failed to find thé range.—The Pathfinder. } Arn aN | !
