Gibson, are doing their utmost to swell the attendance. A very interesting program has been pre- pared and includes among the social fea- tures a picnic in Fairmount Park and a banquet at the Academy of Fine Arts on the last day, May 20. The membership of St. Mark's Episcopal Church numbers 359, an increase of more than lov over last year's roil. A large brass alms basin and a litany desk have been added to the interivr furnishings of the edifice, and in a short time a hand- some Bible will be placed on the letturn as a memorial to the late Rey. A. Floridus Ste tev. Dr. S. M. Newman hag just com- pleted ten years of service as pastor of the First Congregational Church. He cele- brated the occasion last Sunday by giving a sketch of what had been accomplished in the decade. During his charge 6v8 names bave been added to the membership roils, making it number over a thousand. Dr, Newman's first pastorate was in Massa- chusetts, his second in Wisconsin and his third here, a total of twenty-fcur years spent in the ministry. Bishop Andrews of the M. E. Church, be- fore going to the Baltimore conference, of Which he is to be the presiding officer, will spend a few days in this city, and on Sun- the Sd of March, will deliver a sermon at Foundry Church. Officers of the Holy Name Society of St. Dominie’s Church have been selected as fellows: Messrs. Harris, Murphy, Coilins and D. V. Murphy, consultors; Francis H. Huneke, master of the novices, and T. J. Gallagher, sacristan. A fine new bell costing about a hundred and seventy dollars was put in place this week in the tower of mmanuel Church, Anacostia. Rev. W. G. Davenport will celebrate the event by a special sermon, with “Bells” as his subject. ‘Two new subscriptions to the hall of history fund have been received at the ‘American University office, making a total aggregate ef nearly ninety thousand dol- lars pledged. ‘The two mentioned are one for five thousand dollars from New York city and the other of ten thousand from a lady in Pennsylvania. — These, together with the ten thousand from ex-Governor Jvlian Carr of North Carolina, make a sum of 926,000 only recently received.

An important result of the visit of Re Dr. Lunn to this city is the prospective formation of a ministers’ association, com- po! of ail the Protestant pastors in Washington. Such an organization was in existence a year or so ago, but having only been called to act in an emergency, as soon as the object was accomplished the org: zation was not kept up. A committee posed of the officers of the various 1 ers’ associations and headed by Rev. Brown, pastor of Union Church, as chair- man, has the matter in charge, with in- structions to arrange for a meeting at least once every three month: News has reached this country of the re- cent convention of the Rrotherhood of St. Andrew in Australia, The sessions were held in St s Church, Sydney, ithe opening was delivered 1 W.

You know how it grates upon you to feel that you are dependent upon somebody, and you ought to bedable to see that the sensitive nature of+ @ child will be easily hurt by the often used expression that it is a “little torment,” om that it adds to your burden of work. It was a pitiful but de- served rebuke that a little child gave its parent when they? stood beside the tiny coffin of the baby: “Mamma, God thought there was too manytof we, didn’t he?” That mother, at least, never again said to her children that they were little torments. The children reared in a home like that get away just as soon as possible. © oie ler 6 “What shall I do for frosted feet?” is a question that many sufferers ask. In_ the first place, don’t get them frosted. Tight shoes, insufficient bathing and inattention to wearing clean hose will often make the feet chill. Bathe the feet every night of the world. You ought to do that anyhow. Change the stockings several times a week, airing for a day at a time, if you can’t af- ford so many changes. Wear loose shoe! and you will find that you won't suffer so much with cold feet. After they are frosted you will have to suffer more or less for years. Sometimes, when the itching and burning is unbearable, a red-hot bath in salt and water, followed by a brisk rubbing in elcohol, will relieve. One person who was a great sufferer for years found a cure in coal oil. Wash and soak the feet in the salt water till the flesh is red and ten- der; then have a basin large enough to put your feet in—a wide-bottomed tin pan 1s best—and rest tne feet in that, pouring over them a pint of the coal oil. Rub one foot with the other, and soak them for fif- teen minutes or more. Then lift them from the pan, and let the oil left on them soak in for a few moments. Feet once frosted are much tenderer than before, and you must have a care about exposing yourself to the cold. There are frosted feet that nothing will help. Cold, but true. GENS Cerne Do you want to frame some photographs? A deft-handed young girl made some after this plan the other day and they were pretty. Cut heavy cardboard in the shape that you desire, panels, square, heart- shaped, or oval. Cut openings in the cen- ter sufficient to display the picture, and here you may exercise your fancy also. Then cover the cardboard with silk, leav- ing enough to lap under on both ‘edges, which giue or fasten with needle and thread. Fasten the picture over the open- ing and put a back of pasteboard, which cover with pretty colored paper. Water color paper may be substituted for the silk with good effect, and both silk and paper will be prettier for a spray of flow- ers painted on the border or across the cdfner. If you don't paint, then put a svray of arlificial flowers or'a bow of rib- bon. ee eo ew You often hear people inveigh against “home made” furniture and bric-a-brac. Just set it down that such persons are fish, and born kicke Nobody likes ome made things better than they do the artistic creations of disciplined hands, but the many can not have the beautiful and costly things. Must they then sit down and fret their souls out in bare dreariness? If one can’t have a couch with Bagdad covering, the next best thing is a box with a straw mattress and cretonne covered cushions. If a silver half dollar is not to be spared for a ‘velvet foot-rest, a low box covered with cotton and cretonne or crazy patchwork will shield the feet from the cold floor as well. Smyrna rugs are high priced as well as handsome, and a rug knitted out of flne wool scraps and striped with silk ravelings makes a pretty substitute, as well as employing hands that have no other work perhaps.

The second annual conference of work- ers in the negro schools of the south, held in Tuskegee, Ala., has just closed. About thirty institutions were represented. Rev. H. B. Frissell, D.D., principal of the Hamp- ton School in Virginia, presided. Bocker T. Washington said that Tuske- gee made a hard struggle to keep itself in touch with the masses of the negro people. The negro conference was one very ef- fective method. ‘The mothers’ meeting held Saturday afternoon in the town of Tus- kegee was another. The Bible training school, which educated the negro preach- ers, keeps the school in touch with them. The school devotes itself largely to the common. every-day work, such as farming, cooking, and assists the students ‘intel- lectvally. , Rey. Dr. Satterfield, president of Scotia Seminary, Concord, N. C., said his school was for girls and devoted itself to the preparations for home life. The young women were trained how to make beds, set tables and cook proper food, as well as in the knowledge of books. Professor Dodge told of the work of Berea College, Kentucky, where a college course of study was given to whites and blacks together. President John of Clark University, At- lanta, told of the workers in iron and wood sent out by that school. Large contracts were taken by the students for putting in steam plants in Texas and Mississippi. President Chairs of Benet College, North Carolina, and F, Selsby of Taliadega made reports of their respective work. Fisk University of Nashville, Spellman Sem- inary, Atlanta; the Steele Orphanage, Chat- tanooga; the Montgomery State Normal School, the Montgomery Industrial School and many others reported the peculiar fea- tures of their institutions. The teachers of plantation schools es- tablished in the country districts of Ala- bama by graduates of Hampton and Tus- kegee gave most interesting accounts of their efforts to improve the condition of their people. In one of them, at Mt. Meigs, it was shown that the colored people them- selves had contributed nearly $8,000 within eight years. An account of the remarkable work done by the school at Calhoun, Ala., was given by Rev. Pitt Dillingham. Then followed discussions of how the schools can help to dignify labor, how to keep the young people on the farms, how to do away with unkind feeling between the races and how to supplement the school terms. +02 A Misunderstanding.
