Henry Yates Satterlee, the bishop of Washington who filled such a large place In the religious and moral life of the capital city. It is now proposed to make into a magnificent church the small chapel founded by the dead prelate at Twilight Park, Haines Falls, in the Catsklll mountains. Although several hundred miles away from Washington, the present All Angels church at Twlllght Park Is practically a part of the. diocese of Washington.

The Progressive Farmer, recognizing the seriousness of the situation, speaks as follows: "The truth Is, that It is time now to see that a man who wears out a piece of land sins just as a man sins who wears out a human body with drunkenness or dissipation. We are coming to the time when a man will be as much ashamed of owning a gullied hillside as of owning a bones horse. As James J. Hill, than whom there is hardly a greater American living, declared in Washington: " 'North Carolina was, a century ago, one of the, great agricultural Btates of the country and one of the as you ride through wealthiest. the south you see everywhere land gullied by torrential rains, red and The Battle of the Soda Water Studio. The woman with the determined face and the undetermined husband marched into the Ice cream and soda water studio and seated herself at a table. Her husband seated himself also at the same table. She looked daggers at the languid girl, and mapped: skln-an- To-da- y yellow clay banks exposed where once were fertile fields, and agriculture reduced because Its main support has been washed away. Millions of acres, In places to the extent of of the entire arable area, have been so Injured that no Industry and no care can restore them. r "And the seriousness of this is not appreciated by one man In a thousand. You see an acre of land ruined and you say: Well, there is $10, $20, or $50 loss, according to the price of land In your community. But the truth Is, that the merely temporary estimate put opon land values, as Indicated by present prices, does not Indicate at all the extent of the damage. Three hundred years ago you could have bought that land from the Indians at ten cents an acre, but If an acre of It had been ruined then, would the damage, as we see It now, have amounted to only ten cents? A hundred years ago the same land may have been worth only a dollar an acre; but we know now that to have ruined an acre would have meant more than a dollar's loss. And so the price of land Is no criterion by which to judge the damage and the sin against posterity wrought by the man who murders an acre of God's heritage to the human race a heritage he meant to last as long as time Itself.

Afi, but she made much of those files, did the determined woman, slapping herself, her husband and the table, gradually arousing the other customers against the files, telling her husband of the habits of files, of their value to physicians, of the different things a fly could carry and give one, and how easily they could be kept out of a place by the exericse of a little judgment, a little labor and the proper use of screens. Bringing down her fan suddenly on the table, It chanced that she bagged two of her subjects of conversation.

"What is the matter? she asked. "Can't you see? snapped the other. "Goodness gracious, can't you see?

Clean a plain wooden kitchen chair thoroughly, and then turn It, legs upward, on a kitchen table. Tie a clean, single or double piece of white cheesecloth securely by the corners to the chair legs, being careful not to allow too much fullness to prevent too much sagging. Place a bowl underneath the bag on the under side of the chair seat, and then pour some boiling water from the kettle Into the bag. When It has run away, and the cloth Is still hot, quickly remove full bowl and put another In Its place, and pour the hot fruit to be strained Into the Jelly bag. Again change bowls and pour the first juice back Into the jelly bag. Then throw a clean, white mosquito netting over the chair, and leave the Jelly juice to strain all night. Of course, chair, table, floor and every utensil used, as well as the cheesecloth and mosquito netting, must be scrupulously clean. BRACING A CORNER POST.
