There were 80 couples present besides a large number of spectators. The decorations were sword ferns and daffodils, which produced a green and yellow effect of bewitching loveliness. A feature of the decorations that de serves special mention was a cosy cor ner draped with green and hanjrlng pots of daffodils. Vases laden with Dowers were scattered about the hall. Tellow pillows were distributed about in luxuriant profusion, while tle punch tables were garbed In brilliant yellow. Green palms here and there perfected the scheme. The muBlc under the di rection of Prof. Johnstone left nothing to be desired. The committee on ar rangements consisted of the following young ladles: Mls,Annle McLean, Miss L'tslnger, Miss May Utzlnger,. Miss Carroll Young and Miss Hubersham. The out-of-town guests were: Miss Hartman, of Pendleton, Miss Milne, of Corvallis, Miss Allen, of McGowan's, Miss English and Miss Chase, of Port land, George Hartman and E. C Samp son, of Pendleton, Walter Willams of Ilwaco, Lieutenant Wood, of Fort Ste vens, Lleutenunt Cooper of Fort. Col umbia. Mrs. M. E.

These things are all a part of the great game of life, and to meet them and not go down be fore them In discouragement and de feat Is the final proof of power. Fra Elbertus. Why Psopls Do Go. "Why don't people go to church V There Is another question to be an sweredwhy people do go to church; answer that first, and then an answer can be given why' some people don't go. The truth is nothing attracts like the pulpit. A Rationalist will come to New Tork annd lecture to a full house. and KO away carrying his honors; and some people say, "See what a success! If only the ministry drew as well!" But notice that this lecturer, sharp and shrewd as he Is, keeps away from New Tork for a whole year. Tet thou sands fill the Christian churches fifty two days In the year, and hear the goo pel themselves, and then Give their substance to send H to the heathen who have never heard Its sound. Cold as religion Is today, It is yt the one thing that lives and burns' In the hearts of men; before Its shrines the world de lights to assemble and worship. "Why don't people go to church?" Tell us why they do, please, and then we will tell you why some don't. Responsibility No stream from its source Flows seaward, how lonely soever Its course, But what some land Is gladden'd! No star ever rose And set with Influence somewhere! Wno knows What earth needs from earth's lowest creature? . No life Can be pure In Its purpose and strong In Its strife, And all life not be purer and stronger thereby: The spirits of just men made perfect on high Keep Thy Heart With Diligence. As a man tblnketh in bis heart so Is he. Thoughts are the origins and the despots of life. If a man in bis heart thinks high and holy thoughts, bis feet will never be carrying him into sinful places; his hands, his lips will be un der the promptings of good. t But it a man in his heart cherishes low or un kind or impure imaginations, like the cuttle-fish, they will discolor his life! with the blackness of the secret sin. Until a man learns to keep his heart with all diligence, until he learns to control his thoughts, until he chastens his secret Imaginations, he will not, he cannot lead a righteous, a Christ like life. For an angel or the cuttle fish and wll make his indweilng known Sympathy. To feel for a'l, and feel with all; to rejoice with those who rejoice, to weep with those who weep; to under stand people's trials, and make allow ances for their temptations; to put one's selfin their place, till we see with their eyes, and feel with their hearts, til we judge no man and have hope for all; to be fair and patient and tender with all we meet; to despise no one, to despair of none; to look upon every one we meet with love, almost with pity, as people who have either been down in the deep of horror, or may go down into It any da ; to see our own sins in other people's sins, and know that we might do what they do, and feel as they feel, any moment, did God desert us; to give and forgive, to live Slid let live, even as Christ gives to US and forgives us, and livSi for us, and lets us live, In spite of all our sins this Is the character we may get "out of the depths."

No good house keeper ever neglects Spring cleaning. With plenty of soap and water, hard scrubbing and scour ing, sunlight and air, she soon gets rid of all rubbish, musiy oaors, germs ana micro Des, and tne dust and dirt that have accumulated during the long winter months.1 But when the house, has been put in order, and the premises cleared of all old plunder and trash, the great majority of house keepers feel that Sprinir cleaning is over, and forget that their systems may be in a worse condition than the house, and that the bad feelings, debility, loss of appetite, nervousness and sleeplessness from -which they are suffering are due to neglect of the more important and necessary work of Physical house cleaning. A clean house does not insure against disease, but a clean system does.. The poisons and humors engendered within the body, the waste matter that is clogging the system and contaminating and vitiating the blood, are far more dangerous to health than the dirt and dust of our homes. In the winter time we give free rein to our appetites,, and eat more find oftener than is for our good. We inhale the polluted air of badly ventilated! offices and rooms, take little or no exercise, and our bodies become a veritable hot-bed of disease-bearing germs, and our blood is loaded with impurities and poisons of every conceiv able kind; and no wonder that Spring time is so often Sick time and finds us in such poor physical condition, with vitality slowly wasting away, our digestion impaired, the liver torpid,, and all the bodily organs over-worked and out of repair. Unless our systems are given a thorough cleaning, and the blood purged and purified, the simplest malady may develop into. ie disorder or end in chronic invalidism, and often the nent-nn imnurities. unisons EOfflC BCriUi -.T iVi rrl ftiA elri-n arid all tVimiiorli fVio Crvt-inrr onrl SnmniMHrBii si" ? tSfcd tfUH tons hchy rashes, sores, bumps and pimples, and all manner' of ugly tonncnicu . -.iiiJ.
