The bleaching properties of sulphur fumes
may be used to remove the stains of fruit or
wine from clothes. A bit of sulphur is burned
beneath small, open cone paper, which serves
as a chimney, and the stain having been first
slightly moistened with water, is held in the
fumes at the top of the chimney. The cloth
should finally be carefully washed with water
at the place where the stain was.
- An old bachelor editor thus in his spite,
comments on a recent moonlight incident =
owe left our sanctum at midnight last night,
and on our way home we saw young lady and
gentleman holding gate on its hinges. They
were evidently indignant at being kept out so
late; saw them bite each other several times"
- An eccentric though very excellent cler-
gynan of New England gave notice at the
close of the service one Sunday, that he ex-
pected to 20 on mission to the heather during
the ensuing week Alarmed and sorrow strick-
en- at the prospect of losing their beloved pas
tor, the members of the church gathered around
him. and one of the deacons, in great agitation,
exclaimed "What shall We do" "Oh, brother
c." said the minister, with great appa-
rent ease, ~ don't expect to so out of town."
"A gentleman was ponderng what to give
young lady friend as Christmas present, and
decided that it should be ring. "Now, my
dear friend, what kind of ring would you like
1t is so very puzzling, there are so many sorts"
"Well, Mr.. Smith, one, you know, don't like to
make choice in these matters-little delicate,
you understand; but really, if you insist upon
it, why should like an engagement ring dear
ly p was the innocent reply.
- Foolish spending is the father of povertr.
Do not be ashamed of work, and hard work.
Work for the best salary or wages you can
get, but work for half price rather than
be idle. Be your own MASTER and do not
let society or fashion swallow up your in
dividuality-hat, coat and boots. Do not
eat up or wear out all you can earn. Compel
selfish body to spare something for profits saved.
Be stingy to your own appetite, but merciful to
Others necessities Help others and ask not
help for yourself See that you are proud.
But let your pride be of the right kind be too
proud to be lazy too proud to give up without
conquering every difficulty; too proud to be in
company that you cannot keep up with in
expense; too.proud to lie or steal or cheat; too
proud to be stingy.
- The London Food Journal says: Physio-
logically soup has great value for those who
hurry to and fromstheir meals, as it allows an
interval of comparative rest to the fainting
stomach before the more substantial beef and
mutton is attacked, rest before solid food being
as important as rest after IT, Let hungry ana
weary merchant or lawyer rush in medias res
plunge boldly into roast beef what is the result?
The defeat is often as precipitate as the attack.
When the body is weary the stomach must be
identified with it, and cannot therefore stand
the shock of some ll-masticated, halfpound
weight of beef But if small plateful Of
light soup be gently insinuated into the system,
nourshment will soon be introduced, and
strength will follow to receive more substantial
material
