THE SHELTERING ROCK.

SUGGESTED BY COMMENTS OF GEORGE K. DAVIS
ON THE FOLLOWING TEXT.
''There Is a place by me, and though Shalt
stand upon rock."-ExOdus xxxItI :2i
There Is place by me,
Beneath my shelterng arms
And on a rock thy feet shall be
Secure from every harm.
Thou canst not see my face
My glory shalt thou see:
I'll hide thee In the rifted rock,
And there I'll come to thee.
O'ershadowed by my love,
In me thou shalt be blest;
MY presence with thee shall abide,
Aud I will give thee rest.
Then let thy heart be strong
In conflict or In pain;
Ger the foes within and foes without,
The victory thou shalt gain.

The Grecian Knot.

For the benefit of our lady readers, we
give what woman writer says concern-
the Grecian knot, couture now coming
into favor: About one woman out of
twenty-five has a head and features of the
shape necessary to makethis style becom-
ing. Given br adj, half high forehead,
rather straight nose, well rounded face
and throat, and the careless knot of hair
low in the nape of the neck, with pure
white part in the center of the head, from
which the hair ripples naturally over the
temples and ears, is beautiful. making the
wearer Greek goddess at once, or. what
is better nowadays, charming Ameri-
can woman. But take the remaining
twenty-four women, who have all kinds
of foreheads and features, and who are
stately with the hair massed on the very
top of their heals, or braided and banded
smoothly neiti&f high nor low, or bewitch-
ingly coquettish and girlish with ACETATE
laine braid with acurl or two, finger puffs
above the forehead and little rings falling
over it; put the severe Greek knot low
down on these heads, and draw the hair
over the pretty pink ears, narrow the tenn
pies and cheeks by nearly obscuring them,
and what is the result? The stately wom-
an looks prim and belittledi the bright,
coquettish one is ten years older, and in
many cases startling defects of features,
or odd expressions, never before noticed
by those who knew them best, and to
whom they were once pretty, are devel-
oped by the change.

To CLEAN LAMP CHIMNEYs.-Put the
chimneys In strong soda water; let il be
moderately hot. The longer they lie in
it the better. Rinse in cod water, drain
and polish by rubbing with soft cloth.
In trimming kerosene lamps, it is neces-
sary only to remove the cinders. The
wick should be nearly square, as curved

give so much light.
VERMIN.-If you are troubled with ants,
water bugs, cockroaehes. or insects of any
description, powdered borax laid in their
haunts will dismiss them to a new rang
ing ground. 1t is also desirable 20 slit it
into the joints of your bedsteads, in
houses or rooms which have become in
tested with these most disgusting of in
sects. Grease, or lard, is Just as effica-
cious as coal oil, but borax is much more
easily applied.
BOILING JoINT OF BEEF.-The Irish
Farmers Gazette gives explicit directions
for boiling joint of beef. 1t says: All
meat, poultry excepted, should be put into
cold water, and not boiled too fast. In
every case let care be taken to remove the
scum from the top of the water, just be-
fore it boils. This keeps the meat and the
water clean and agreeable in appearance.
AS the water decreases from evaporation,
replenish with hot or boiling water, so as
to keep the meat always covered. 1t is
usual to allow a quarter of an hour for
every pound of the meat in boiling, reckon
ing from the time the water begtns to boil ;
bur this is rule which will. of course, be
departed from according as the meat is re-
quired to be over or underdOne. 1t is al
ways better to boil slowly than quickly.
Rapid boiling hardens the meat. Perfect
ly fresh meat requires longer boiling than
that which is tender or ripe.
