In Marking Linen Buie* for Monograms that Appeal to Housekeepers of Good TastoTwo Monograms now Used for Tablecloths.

| Ab with most other things, fashion* In the marking of linen change from year to year, so that ft is impossible to lay down hard and fast rules. Here, however, are some of the styles most constantly used by the housekeepers who do not love extremes: For everyday tablecloths initials are from three and a half to four Inches in height When a monogram is used, it is often much higher. Serviettes are marked with letters matching in style, but smaller, not more than an inch or so in height The marking on the tablecloth-should lie well in from the edge of the table, yet hot so near the centre thatdt will be covered by the centrepiece. For the best tablecloths it is now theefashion to use two monograms, one on each side of the centre, about twelve inches from the edge of the table. For round tables they are often placed on the diagonal line. Serviettes have the letters on a diagonal Hue across one comer, so that when the serviette is folded they will come in the centre of the comer square. In marking sheets care must be taken that the monogram /or initials show right side up when the top of the sheet is turned over aad one looks at it from the foot of the‘bed. That is, the letters should be embroidered in the centre of the sheet, two Inches below, the hem and facing toward It The letters are from four to four and a half inches high. For the pillow cases and bolsters the letters are* similar, but half the, size. Om the pillow case the letters should be about an inch above the hem, in the » centre of the case on the right side. Towels are lettered from k an Inch and a half to- two inches above the hem. Sizes of’letters vary greatly for towels, being • anywhere from an inch and a half to five Inches in height. In marking bath towels the letters are put on the plain ribbed banding that runs across the end. While ornate embroidery is-permis-sible, housekeepers of the best taste stick to plain, simple embroidery for their house linen, though it.goes without saying that it must be 'exquisitely done. ■*

NATIONS ARE DRUNK WITH FALSE DOCTRINES

The Bible’s Portrayal of the Present Time. Mixed Wines Most Intoxicating—Golden Wino Cup of the Bible—The Maddening Draft —Some Crazed One Way, Some Another —America Not Exempt. She la Feverishly Mad Also.

PASTOR RUSSELL

dress of last Sunday, in which he had pointed out some of the false doctrines which led to the exaltation of the Scarlet Woman, the unfaithful Spouse of Christ She had not followed her Redeemer in self-sacrifice and humility. She had especially separated her-* self from the people under the clergy title, had fought down the true followers of Jesus, causing them to suffer for righteousness’ sake, even as the Jews had crucified Jesus, and as the Apostles had suffered for loyalty to Truth. Intoxicated by successes, she went to great lengths of boasting, establishing herself as Queen of Heaven, ruling over the kings of earth; but nevertheless having fellowship with them and drawing support from them. Both kings and people were made drqsk with the thought that they could have so close dealings with the Divine Kingdom and still live after the flesh. Degradation ensued, while kings and people went Into a sleep from whleh they are not yet fully aroused. The Sixteenth Century brought a partial awakening, but the Adversary was at hand to re-entangle those mentally confused by the adulterated wine —the mixture of Heavenly Truth with earthly selfishness and deviltry. To have allowed the full light of Truth to shine in upon the world at that time would have meant the permission of the great Time of Trouble nearly three centuries too soon; for the Lord’s Kingdom would not be ready for establishment until the full end of the 6,000 years of the reign of Sin a,nd Death. Therefore God permitted the Protestant Churches to be born, and to develop under the Influence of their Mother’s Intoxicating Cup, So we are not surprised at the prophetic declaration that the Daughters had the Mother’s disposition and became Harlots like her—affiliating with the kingdoms of this world, modifying doctrines so as to meet their approval, etc. Each Daughter has done her share to perpetuate the Intoxication of the world.

“Babylon la Fallen, Is Fallen." The name Babylon contains a double thought—first, the Gate of God; second, confusion. Thus it Imports that the Church, Gateway to God and righteousness, became confused, impure, adulterous. As God had prophecied this Babylon system, He evidently purposed to permit it to have the control it has had. Throughout the pqst some of His saintly ones have been in Babylon. Otherwise He would not say, “Come out of her, My pepple.” His voice calling His people out of Babylon at the time she is rejected for destruction Is the voice of the Truth. Acknowledge respecting the Divine character hnd plan, as revealed in the Bible, comes to God’s consecrated people, the voice of the Truth, appealing to the honesty of the individual, calls him to come out at any cost and stand separate from all earthly institutions. The Divine Message declares that the literal fall of these great systems is at hand, and that everybody In them will suffer—in proportion to enlightenment The Morning Hour, the Drunken Awake. According to Bible chronology, the six thousand years of the reign of Sin and Death have ended. We are In the dawning of the New Dispensation, and the New Order is' being gradually introduced. Properly, the awakening came first to God’s consecrated, who long have prayed, “The Kingdom come!’* Meantime the Millennial blessings beginning to come to the world have made the drunken sleepers restless. As they awaken, they are seized with feverish acquisitiveness as individuals and as nations. As the individuals have racked their brains respecting money-getting, so the nations have been plotting and scheming for extension of territory, trade, etc. Education has awakened the whole world. While the awakened ones reject the major part of the creeds of the past, they carefully cling to any rights or privileges which those false doctrines gave them. Thus the Divine right of kings and nobles, princes and governments, and rites and ceremonies, civil and ecclesiastical, are clutched Interest of the rulers. This is the Secret of the willingness of earthly klngA, financial princes and subservient religionists to engage In the present hprrible war. The argument with all is that the end Justifies the means. The Lord no longer restrains these: for His time- has come that Iniquity should have an end; that the Harlot Systems should make manifest that none of them is the Bride of Christ: and that the kings of the earth might bnmbk each other and thus make ready f the true Kingdom of God.

Chicago, 111., Dec. 13. Pastor Russell delivered an address today at the Chicago City Temple, taking the text, “The inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”— Revelation 17:2. The speaker adverted to his ad-

Stocking Mender.

A device to facilitate the labor oi those who have many stockings to darn has been designed by a Minnesota man. It is a holder in which the stocking is held so that part in which the tear is, is drawn taut and can be darned much easier than ordinarily. One part of this holder is a wire ring with guards rising from it, bent inwardly near their bases. Another ring

Permits of Neater Darn.

fits into these curves when sprung in place. The stocking is drawn over the first ring until the torn part appears stretched out inside it. Then the second ring is snapped into place and the stocking held taut, thus permitting of a much neater and stronger darn than can be made over a darn “egg” or a similar device. As will be seen, this apparatus is primarily intended for making repairs to the leg of the hose, though it can also be used in darning holes, in the feet At a pinch it could be used for fancy work, as it acts on the principle of the wooden rings women use for this purpose.—Newark Call.

Psychology of the Ring Finger.

Professor Frederick Mason Blanchard of the University of Chicago says there is a psychological reason for placing the wedding and the engagement rings on the third finger. Every finger, he explains, Is expressive of a particular emotion. “The third or ring finger," he asserts, “tells of affection. Th? other fingers are not used in a caress. The whole hand is used, but the third finger is brought forward and it is the-one that strokes the face or .hand of the person to whom affection is to be shown. There may be objection made that the placing of the wedding and the engagement rings on this finder is merely a custom, but even if that is so there is some reason for the origin of the custom. The reason, I believe, is wholly psychological. The third finger is the finger of affection and must always remain so. There is no strong emotion for the little finger to show. It denotes delicacy. It is separated from the other fingers and is not required to emphasize the meaning of the stronger fingers. The little finger • always shows intuition. A woman will hold this finger >curled away from the others, but a man, who does not care much about delicate meanings, will let it fall in line with the others.”
