Starching.

''Kate Hunnibee" says in the
Hearth and Home:
1t seems strange to us old
houskeepers that anybody should
find difficulty in doing up bos-
oms and collars nicely, but our
ranks are continually recruited
by woman quite ignorant OF
these mysteries. The mutations
in Wall street a year ago left a
neighbor of mine poor, snd now
the brave wife hires nothing
done but the washing. She came
in to-day to ask just how to make
and manage the starch, and l
was glad to tell her. Dissolve
the pearl starch in cold water,
pour on boiling water, stir it
till it is the right consistency,
that is about as thick as paste
for ordinary purposes; if too thick
it will not iron nicely, if too thin,
the linen will not be stiff enough.
l starch my clothes when they
come from the rinse water, rub
the starch well into them and
hang on the line. When 1 sprin-
kle the cloths have a bowl of
very thin cold starch from which
/ wiring the collars and bosoms
and let lie two or three hours or
over night. When they are to
be lroned l place them on the
bosom board, rub them till they
lie smoothly with a soft, clean,
damp cloth, and then pass the
iron over them. Ii the starch
shows any disposition to stick L.
lay thin linen cloth on the bos-
ON and pass the iron over that
first, then remove it and finish
the work. Various substances
are used to give the linen a gloss
and keep the iron from sticking.
Some use a little lard or butter,
and a few shavings of white soap
stirred in the starch just after hot
water has been poured over it.
Others use a tea-spoonful of white
sugar, ora bit of wax candle, or
a little gum arabic water. Some
boil their starch five minutes,
others only one, and others not
at al. Some do not make their
starch until they sprinkle their
clothes, and then rub the starch
into the dry linen and let it lie
over night before ironing, and
some depend entirely on cold
starch. But l have found the first
method given the surest and easi-
est. If one is disposed to polish
her linen, polishing iron can be
purchased at any house-furnish-
ing or hardware store. 1t is a
small steel-faced iron with a bulge
at the acute end, and costs from
IS cents to 81. The articles to
be polished are first ironed in the
ordinary way, then dampened by
laying on them a wet cloth, then
placed on a board and rubbed
hard with the bulge of the pol
ishing iren till they shine. Linen
that is placed Immediately after
being ironed near the stove or
in the hot sun is sitter when
drythan ifpermitted todry slowly.
1t is a good plan to lay collars
and small articles on a waiter
and set them on a kettle or 9th
er support ON the stove till they
are quite dry. Sometimes the
iron will stick in manner per-
fectly unaccountable; ifit is rub
bed on a board on which fine
salt has been sprinkled and then
passed over a brown paper with
wax in its folds, the sticking pro-
pensity will be checked. A bowl
of clear water and a clean old
linen cloth to remove any specks
the linen may acquire before or
while being ironed.

An exchange says: The most
effective way to stop the sale of
dangerous oils and burning
fluids which are so destructive
to life and property is to educate
the people. The test is so sim
pie that it is in every one. 1t
has often been published, yet
there are thousands of people
who have never heard it. You
will benefit the people by re-
peating it often.
The test is as follows. Pour a
small quantity of oil out upon a
saucer or tin plate; apply light
ed matck if it ignites immedi-
ately or even before the fire
touches it, let the oil be return
ed to the vender as unsafe.
Good safe oil will not flash.
but burn slowly when the light
ed match is dropped into it, and
the fire is extinguished as soon

Ths Test Of Prayer.

A curious case is found in the
story of dissenting exhorter In
England. This man had acquired
considerable local fame, and he
attracted the confidence OF a la
dy who heard him. After his
sermon, she went to him to re-
late an incident of personal ex-
perience, which, as she thought,
might afford him aid in his ex-
hortations. The preacher listen
ed to her with peculiar interest
and in great excitement and
when she had finished, he re-
-1quested her as a special favor
not to repeat the circumstance
until he should come around
again. 1t was some time after
that the preacher visited the 10
cality, and he fonnd the same
lady among his audience. As a
conclusion to his sermon on the
value of prayer, he said that a
few years before, a lady living
in an out of-the-way place, in an
old-fashioned house, and almost
alone in the wing in which her
bedroom was situated, discover
ed, upon retiring to her room at
midnight, that man was con-
cealed under the bed. She was
afraid to go out, lest the burg
lar should suspect that she was
agoing to call help, and SO attack
her. She took out her Bible and
read the parable of the Prodigal
Son. Then she kneeled down
= by her bedside and prayed aloud.
She prayed for those who had
been exposed to temptation, for
outcasts and wrong doers. She
begged that she might be spared
from peril during the night. She
asked that mercy might be
vouchsafed to all who repent
ed. -...
Having concluded her earnest
and eloquent prayer, she retired.
The burglar came from under
the bed and said to her: 81
mean you no harm, ma'am; | am
going to leave the house; and /
thank you for your prayer" He
then went away, and the lady
soon heard him jumping out OF
the window to the lawn below.
'.The good woman Of whom l
have told you," added the exhor-
ter, in a broken voice, lis with
us now, and the sinner to whom
her simple womanly prayer was
shame, remorse, penitence, and
future of repeptant expiration, is
he who here confessess himself
to you and his Maker"
The story is an affecting one
and no doubt true.-Pres. Ban.

Indirect influence.


The amount and value of a
mans influence for good or evil
upon the world, will generally
depend upon the character OF
his indirect and unconscious in
fiuence. Personal perfection, the
Christian refinement of feelings
and sentiments, faithfulness to
all the duties of the more private
relations we sustain,ar inexora-
bly, demanded by the Almighty,
and by the spirit of Christ's gos-
pei, and demanded the more rig
orously because the effect of such
fidelity does not end with our
selves, but goes forth and wins
results that are precious in the
sight OF heaven. and which we
may never know. The spirit of a
persons life is ever shedding
some power, just as a flower is
steadily bestowing some fra
GRANGE upon the air. Do you
think that pure prayer, in the
sacred privacy of home does not
steal through the walls and viv
ify the atmosphere beyond. Do
you doubt that a word of sympa-
thy and gift of charity,in a des,
olate chamber, publish a sweet
influence on the frosty air of hu-
man selfshness? Such things re-
veal and confirm character, and
make the power of persons pre-
sence who performs them intense
and beneficial. Influence depends
less upon our activity than on
the qualities that lie behind our
activity; as the planet attracts
not by its weight. five had liv-
ed as we ought to live, and as we
might live, power would go out
from US that should be seen and
felt by an ever enlarging audi
ence.
