DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING LINT-The ladies of
the San Francisco lint and bandage association
have issued the following directions
Old linen is better than new starch should be
washed out. Old handxerehiefs. old shirt bosoms
old table cloths and napkins, etc, are all useful
There are two kinds of lnt--the sorqped and the
SHREDDED The proper proportion for the two
should be one of scraped to two Of shredded, and
precautions are necessary TO prevent both from
being useless when prepared. The scraped lint
needs to he packed in layers in the boxes srprra-
ted by thin paper. Each layer should be one
fourth OF an inch thick. 1t must not be too
tightly packed, or it is almost useless. The
shredded lint needs to have the strands laid par
alel, and in layers of little more than one eighth
of an inch thick, separated by papers also. The
scraped lint is simply fuz2 scraped from linen,
and il Ia obvious therefore, that no attention is
necessary to be paid to the shape OF the linen.
1t is simply laid upon q smooth surface and
scraped into fuzz. The shredded lint however
requires The linen to be cut into squares of from
two to,two and half inches and then ravellcd
laying the short strands thus obtained side by
side in layers. 1t must not be tangled up, or it
is valueless. Old cotton cloth will be received
for congresses. The bandages must be made Of
strong, good cloth--old or new. List of ban

And listened to the gentle spirit tones

thoughts
Which slowly fastened on my throhhing hraln'
That thou vast passing from the earth away,
Was my young life's first sorrow. Through the
long
And solemn watches of that awful night,
Kind friends, who dearly loved US, gathered
round
Thy dying couch, and in my agony.
/ shrieked 10 them to save the bat with tears
And in the tones Of holy sympathy,
They told me thou wouIdst die.
All, then bowed
Ny heart to God whose worship thy dear lips
Had tapoht me. and to Him with bursting heart
| prayed that He would thee And, as there
| knelt. a holy calm. as if from Heaven,
Came stealing DER my spirit, ana voice
Floated into my soul. 1t said that thou
Must leave me, that thy home was in the SKY,
But that thou still wouldst love and guard thy
child
And hover round him on thy angel-wlngs

Wild lamentations and deep sobs were breathed
From hearts of anguish, but heard them not,
A man of God poured forth bis soul in prayer
For thy souls welfare, but heard him not,
| saw but Thy wan cheek, they parted lips,
Thy half closed eyes, so meek and caim beneath
Their blue-veined lids, thy bright, deshevelled
locks.
Thy pald brow. damp with the dcws of DEATH
And the faint beaving of thy breast, that oft
In happy hours had pillowed my young head
To sweet and gentle sumber and heard
But the faint struggle of thy failing breath,
Thy sitting sighs. and the high holy words
That seemed to fall like dew drops on my soul
From out the blessed skies All suddenly
Thy blue eyes opened, and a moment looked
Upon thy child with one fixed. burning gaze,
In which the deep and boarded love of years
Was all concentrated convulsive thrill
Shot through the fbers of Thy wasted frame
And death was there-ay, thou vast mine and
deaths.
And then my tears again gushed wildly forth,
But light from Heaven broke through them With
a soft
Prismatic glory, as gazed above.
And saw thee mounting. like new made star,
Far up thy glowing pathway in the heavens.
