Only a dainty velvet hood
That her baby’s head has pressed;
Only a mother’s darling
Asleep and forever at rest.
Only a dainty velvet cloak
That now neglected lies;
Only a sorrowing mother
With sad and tearful eyes.
Only a tiny little mound,
Where soft winds come and go—
Only one of the many cares
in this great world of woe.
—Good I lousekeeping.
I?a!>y Shoes.
How dear to the heart of every mother is
/he little shoes lirst worn by her baby, and
how often when they are discarded are
they laid away among her treasures. Sad
are the recollections often brought to mind
as we gaze on these tiny shoes; it may be
we have watched by the cradle of a suf
fering babe and our hearts have throbbed
with anguish as our prayers have been
“spare the little life,” and we have dumbly
gazed on the pallid brow and seen the little
eyes grow dim and the breath grow fainter
and realized that the prayer is in vain, our
darling is going from us. Years may pass,
but should we sec the shoes those baby feet
had w an how v.vidly comes back to us
the scene fraught with so much anguish.
Or it may be those little shoes have been
worn by feet now walking in paths of
•wickedness and vice, or straying far from
the mother’s side, leaving her desolate and
forsaken, and as. she sits and looks upon
the baby shoes of an erring boy her misery
Is far keener than the mother’s who
watched the little life go out.
Not long ago a poor miserable woman was
taken to a hospital in New York in a
dreadful condition. Ten years ago she was
young and beautiful, married a good man,
the prospects of the young couple were
bright, but the dreadful habit of using
morphine was bee tin and soon she became
its slave; then her baby died and that
seemed to drive her deeper into excess;
then she began to drink; her husband did
ail he could, coaxed, begged and argued,
but all to no purpose; she sold his clothes
to get money to buy her drugs and liquor.
Finally she left her home and drifted here
and there, living anyway. When her hus
band could find her he would care for her,
but she would leave again, and at last was
fcimd in a dying condition. I'm! r her pil
low was found a bottle of brandy, on the
mantelpiece a box of opium and on her
person, close to her bosom, a little pair of
her baby’s shoes. Through all her sin and
downfall these little baby shoes had gone
witii her, and none but her Maker knew
the many bitter tears that had fallen on
them. Strange that she could have gon?
astray with such a talisman about lor.
are awukenol by the baby shoes, but to all
come sweet and tender thoughts as they
gaze on the tiny worn-out shoe that they
sometimes bring to light from among the
treasures of the past.
A Ejonjr-I'elt Want Supplied l»y the
••Annie Dennis Cookbook.’’
A southern cook book for southern wo
men—something we need and will enjoy.
While the co ,k books of our northern
sisters may be good, yet their style of living
and eating is. as entirely different from
ours as is their climate. They give recipes
that we can never use for many’ of the
ingredients cannot be procured, and they
love things that southern people never eat.
Not since the notable Mrs. Hill’s cook
book has there been anything so valuable
to southern women to make its appearance
as the Annie Dennis cook book. Miss An
nie Dennis is noted over the southern coun
try for being a No. 1 housekeeper, and
wherever there has been tin exposition or
a fair she has invariably carried away’
the first premium on wines, pickles, pre
serves. breads and everything in the cook
ing line. This has induced her to write a
cook book, as there se>-mt d such a demand
for southern recipes. This book is just
present' d to the public and is well worth
the small amount of .•ji. 'i which is asked for
it, postpaid, it is a neatly-bound volume,
containing Ml pages and from beginning to
end tilled with valuable recipes of every
description. There must be nearly 1,000 reci
p. many es them contributed by the
] i min nt worn n pt the t outh. There are
splendid cake recipes, and Miss Dennis's
cake is proverbial, as is also her can
goods—the most beautiful and delightful
1 ever saw. Mwry page of this book teems
with ex limit r> cap s, all brought within
the means of housekeepers of moderate in
come. There are plain, practical and fancy
dishes, and every old southern method of
curing park and beef is given, indeed there
are valuable suggestions on many subjects.
I heartily recommend the book and it
should have a place in every southern home
and would be an ml ii'.ion to every northern
household. Miss Annie Dennis’s address is

So I make another honest ellort. I have a quan
tity of artichoke bu bs. They are excellent, for
pu kies, and tor fattening hogs they are unsur

sour pickles later on.
1 also have the celebrated Truitt prolific cotton
seed. They are all the rage with the farmers now.
I gave away seed of this variety of cotton last
sen.-on. and as they gave great, satisfaction, have
decided to offer them again tins season. This cot
ton needs no recommedation where known.
Any one wishing seed of this variety of cotton,
or any ol the artichoke bulbs, by sending postage,
which will lie s cents per pound, 1 will cheerfully
send them a package containing from one to 4

FEMININE ENTKAVAGANCE IN DRESS
That <»f Today Is Not a Patch Reside
the Old-Time Wastefulness.
From The New York Sun.
One hears a great deal about feminine ex
travagance in dress, and its deterrent effect
upon the marriageable young men, who
shrink buck in terror from the altar when
they consider what it costs to dress a girl
according to the dictates of modern fash
ion. Therefore, it is interesting to read of
a certain Miss Phraser’s new gown, made
in the year 1G76, which cost $1,(576, and of
which it is recorded: “It frights Sir Carr
Scroope, who is much in love with her, from
marrying her, saying' his estate will scarce
maintain her in clothes.”
Verily there is nothing new under the
sun. Not in centuries has there been made
a gown so resplendent as that worn by the
Medicis queen, whereon were embroidered
3,200 pearls and 3,000 diamonds. And what
belle in the last cycle has been arrayed so
resplendently as that Madame de Monte
span, who wore at a great court festival “a
gown of gold on gold, broidered in gold,
bordered with gold, and over that gold
frieze stitched with a gold mixed with a
certain gold which makes the most divine
stuff that has ever been imagined.”

Spring Goods.
So mild and lovely lhas been our winter
that it seems hard to realize that our
stores are tilling up with spring goods. It
seems only the other day that the fall roses
were blooming, and now the spring is upon
us.
Cheviot is to be the favorite material for
spring dresses. It is shown in all the light
tints—gray, green and brown—but the most
popular is in stripes, checks, mottled effects
and dots. We give a very pretty suit; it is
pale chocolate brown and white checks.

A BUBNIXG QUESTION.
WHAT Wiri. r.E DONE ABOUT EVAN
GELISTS Bl r CONFEItENCE.
\
The Methodist General Conference to Meet
iu May M hen tlie Matter Will be Fully
Aired—How Will It Eud.
Many important matters will demand at
tention at tlie approaching general con
ference of the southern Methodist church.
The conference meets every four years,
and the selection of a place of meeting
is left to a committee of delegates. St.
Louis was th_e place chosen for this pur
pose four years ago in 1890, and, in May of
this year, the conference will convene at
Memphis.
Before this quadrennial conference doubt
less will be brought the question of the
creation of a board of education. Clergy
men and laymen alike seem to be awaken
ing to a realization of the fact that, if the
Methodist church in the south would shape
the destiny of the country, it must do wiiat
it can to educate the people.
A great number of annual conferences in
the southern states have already fallen into
line with a hearty appreciation of tills
need, and now levy assessments on their
constituency for educational purposes.
Another question that has been asked in
connection with the coming conference is,
what shall be done about moving and non
resident members and attendance on church
conferences?
It is said that the membership of churches
twenty, thirty, forty and fifty miles from
Atlanta and other cities in tills and neigh
boring states is frequently represented here
and elsewhere. The non-resident member
ship of the Methodist ehurch, south, has
grown so large, it is said, as to constitute
a very significant percentage of the whole.
This state of affainj works a great hurt
to the Methodist church in the south,
and, at the same time, the members them
selves, arc said to sustain serious losses re
ligiously.
I hen, doubtless, there will also have to
be an election of one or two more bishops
to conserve the good interests of the church.
Os the number that now obtains—ten, two
are said to be practically incapable of per
forming' the duties of the uliice, owing to
age or other infirmity.
Missions and missionary work in general
v .11 tequire and doubtless receive careful
consideration at tlie hands of the quadren
nial conference, and many other subjects
ol like nature and equal import will be
brought up for deliberation.
But the one subject that is being dis
cussed at the firesides of the people from
Georgia to Texas and from Florida to Ten
nesse is, what will the general conference
do about evangelists. It is believed by
many that heavy pressure will be brought
to bear upon the assembly to provide by
law lor special evangelistic work. Large
numbers ol Methodists high in office and
m good standing regard the provision as
a necessity. They believe that the church
will sustain a great loss, unless such a pro
vision is made. As the matter stands now,
theie is no law on the subject. The church
code is painfully deficient in this respect

'1 you may look for
er the matter.”
. «,■<■’ ee given the subject
. # of Rev. Samuel P. Jones will
. >eh interest to the disposition of the
qut- ’ibn. It seems that the Methodist
church at its general conferences hereto
fore, has always refused to consid
er the subject favorably. The mat
ter has always been voted down peremp
torily. But the people will not be
so easily satisfied this time; nor will
the evangelists that are already in the field.
Heretofore the Rev. Mr. Jones has been
the agent of the Methodist Orphans' home,
located at Decatur, and, as its agent, has
necessarily traveled in its interest. At. the
last north Georgia conference, however, his
connection with the home was severed.
According to the rules of the church. Mr.
Jones no longer has the right to travel as
In the past; b-'t he refuses to be tied down
to a circuit. He find* himself, therefore. In
the opinion of many, as not being in the
conference at all, and as having no connec
tion with it whatever. Mr. Jones insists,
however, that he has a perfect right to do
just as he is doing now, and thus the hitch
is made.
Dr. J. B. Robins, pastor of the First Meth
odist church, in speaking of the matter
the other day, said:
“Yes, I believe that Sam Jones’s case will
add to the Interest of the question. Person
ally, I can’t for the life of me see any de
mand whatever for the modern evangelist;
and I have been engaged in a discussion of
the question with Mr. Jones for several
weeks, in the columns of the official organ
of the church.
“Now, there are some mon who call thom
sotves evangelists who hold successful
meetings. It is wholly unnecessary, however,
and I believe, positively dangerous for the
general conference to discuss this matter.
It is sure to cause a great disturbance.
What is wanted is merely something to
meet the demand as it is presented to us.
We don’t want to put men where they will
be at the necessity of creating a demand.
It would bo sufficient for al! purposes, T be
lieve, to provide a law for the liberation of
such local preachers ns develop qualities
of efficiency in this work. They
could go in answer to such calls
ns they might get. They could be
held amenable to the quarterly conference,
and the conference could restrict them from
the'work, whenever it should become neces
sary to do so, because of wrong life or
lapse of efficiency.
“There is no doubt, of course,” continued
Dr. Robins emphatically, “about the num
ber of conversions which Sam 3 nos makes;
but Sam Jones should no more be an evan
gelist than should any other Methodist
preacher. It is the duty of all preachers to
be direct and pointed in their preaching.
Every minister has exactly the same au
thority for being true to the facts of the
life and revelation of God.
“No, sir;” said he, in conclusion; “you
may just '.ay for me that there’s not the
slightest necessity for evangelists, and
there’ll be a mighty strong Ight made
against the passage of any law that may
be offered that calls for the appointment.”
This is the status of the case. There are
many arguments on both sides of the ques
tion, and many strong opponents to take is
sue with one another. It only remains to see
v.'b.at the general conference will do. Will
there be a split in the churen?

other little slovenlinesses give her an un

A I'l'iv Eye Don'ts.
From Good Housekeeping.
Don’t allow a cold wind to strike the eyes.
Don’t try to do eye work witii the light
shining in the face.
Don’t have colored shades on the "imps;
use white or ground glass.
Don’t go directly from a warm room into
a cold, raw atmosphere.
Don’t open the eyes under water tn bath
ing, especially in salt water.
Don’t let any strong light, tike that trom
electricity, shine directly into ti.e eyi's. _
Don’t strain the eyes by reading, sewing
or any like occupation, with an imperfect
light.
Don’t bathe inflamed eyes with cold
water; that which is as warm as it can be
borne is better.
Don’t sleep opposite a w ii'cav. in such
manner that a. strong light will strike the
eves on awakening.
‘Don’t above all. have the children sleep
so tiiat the morning sun shall shine in their
faces to arouse them.
Don’t expect to get another pair of eyes
when these have been destroyed by neglect
or ill use, but give them fair treatment
and they will serve faithfully to the end.
No Doubt of It.
From The Tammany Times.
