to the palace one afternoon, RothschiId found
William and Won Estorff engaged at chess, the

The MODEL WIFE.-Rev. Dr. A. A. Willis.
in recent lecture delivered in Bronklyn de.
s'rIbed the model wife of ancient times.
Among other traits Of her character to which
ne referred was her industry. lie said "She
was the model woman for that period, for this
age ana Tor ages to come. Costume and GUS
toms had changed, but all the essential features
OF OF, "Omanly character are as fitting now as then
The speaker then read the description of her in
the Book OF Proverbs and remarked that all
human genius had laborcd for centuries to EN-
oody In marble, on clnvasS, or in the pages of
poetry, tor conception 0f that which was true and
beautiful and graceful in woman, vet we might
challenge the whole world to bring picture of
woman worthy to be compared with this. The
whole picture was lighted up with the rlow of a
most cheerful heathtul activity. She not only
superintended the duties of her household. but
worked with her own hands The daughters
OF modern society might here find useful hint
The idea prevailed nova days to great extent
among young ladies that work was degrading :;
that 1t belonged to common neople. The
mOdern lea OF womanly teauty was an ethereal
creature. with.far features and fruil BODY, sup
ported by whalebOne. The hearty, vigorous.
blushlng rose used TO be the emblem of beauty.
but it is now the lily, even though lily white be
made accessory to such "a result. IL might be
truly said Of them. They toll not, neither do
they spin, yet Solomon in all his glory was
not arrayed like one of these The idea of
domestic industry being vulgar is one of the
conceits OF modern days. Neither rich nor
poor were exempt from the divine law. Industry
was healthtul and proper. You ladies, to be.

N NeWspapers.

Their value is by no means appre-
ciated, but the rapidity with which
people are waking up to their necessi-
ty and usefulness is one of the signif-
cant signs Of the times. Few families
are now content with single newspa-
per. The thirst for knowledge is not
easily satiated, and books, though use
ful-yea, absolutely necessary in their
place, fail to meet the demands of youth
orage. The villagenewspaperis is eager
ly sought and its contents as eagerly
devoured. Then comes the demand
for the county news, state news, ma
tional and foreign news. Next to the
political come the literary, and then
the scientific journals. Lastly, and a.
bove all, come the moral and religious
journals. This variety is demanded
to satisfy the cravings of the active
mind. ,rs
Newspapers are also valuable to ma
terial prosperity. They advertise the
village, county or locality. They spread
before the reader map on which may
be traced character, design, progress.
Il a stranger calls at a hotel he first
inquiries for the village newspaper; if
a friend comes from distance, the
very next thing after family greeting,
he inquiries for your village or county
newspaper, and you feel discounted if
you are unable to find a late copy, and
confounded ifyou are compelled to say
you do not take it.
The newspaper is just as necessary
to fit a man for his true position in life
as food Or raiment. Show us a rag
ged, barefoot boy rather than an ignor-
ant one. His head will cover his feet
in after life if he is well supplied with
newspapers. Show us the child that
is eager for newspapers. He will make
the man of mark in after life if you
crafty that desire for knowledge
Other things being equal, it is rule
that never fails. Give the children
newspapers.

For THE LADIEs.-We publish the
following for the benefit of our lady
readers: If you have been picking or
handling any acid fruit and have stain
ed your hands, wash them in clear
water, wipe them lightly and while
they are yet moist strike a match and
shut your hands around it so as to catch
the smoke, and the stain will disappear.
If you have stained your muslin or
gingham or white dress, with berries,
before wetting the cloth with anything
else pour boiling water through the
stains and they will disappear. Before
fruit juice dries it can often be remov-
ed by cold water, using sponge or
towel, if necessary. Rubbing the fin
gers with the inside of the parings of
apples will remove most of the stains
caused by pairing. Ink, also, if it be
washed out or sopped up from the car
pet with cold water Immediately when
it is spilled, can be almost entirely re-
moved.
