WHITE WAsHING.-As the time for
cleaning and withdrawing approaches,
the following recipe for preventing
whitewash from adhering to everything
that happens to be brushed against it,
will be read with interest:
Soak four ounces of glue in quart of
warm water for twenty hours, then add
a pint of water, place the vessel (tin) in
kettle of hot water over the fire, and
agitate the glue until it is thoroughly
dissolved and the solution quite clear
Now put five or six pounds of powdered
Paris white (costs three cents pound)
into bucket, and add hot water until
the mixture is of the consistency of
cream. Then mix the glue with it, stir
it well, and put on with an ordinary
whitewash brush. 1t is Of the most inn
portance that the calcimining mixture
be spread smoothly, and if too thick a
little hot water should be added. The
quantities given above are sufficient for
two coats on large room eighteen feet
square. To make good job, two coats
should always be applied.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE FINGER.

Each finger, and the mount at the
base of it, is named after q planet. In
the normal hand the second finger is the
longest, and the third the next in length,
while the first is nearly as long as tie
third and much longer than the fourth
or little finger. Jupiter is the first fin
ger; if it be long and not i'll shapen,
AID the mount at the base be well
developed, it indicates a noble and lofty
character and religious-minded person.
IF disproportionately long, it will mean
different things according to the type of
the hand In which it may be found; or
according to the type of that particular
finger. In the first type an over-long
first finger would denote an inclination
to the fantastic or exaggerated In religi-
Gus matters; or it might, perhaps, mean
religious madness; or, if other signs in
the hand favored this view, it could be
taken to denote pride. Pride is form
of worship-the culture of sell. In the
second type of hand the excessive
development Of Jupiter might mean
ambition, or, if it were III hand that Is
eminently unselfsh, it might stand for a
something that is puritanical in man
ners or morals-a type of too great
severity. In the third type q very long
first finger would probably signify
vanity. The second finger is Saturn.
IF too prominent it announced melan-
choly,. or misanthropy, or downright
cruelty, according to the type of hand,
but if the finger be within due proper
ton this sadness may take the form of
pity for others, or it may mean be-
coming gravity. The third finger is
Apollo and belongs to the arts. In a
pointed hand Apollo viii give poetry
and music Composition and In a
''square-shaped'' hand, painting, sculp-
ture (here art leaves the domain of the
purely conternplat1ve-i becomes partly
antique from the combination of manual
skill with only what is 1naginatve); and
in s'sGuare-shaped" hand Apollo gives
historionic power, an aptitude for acting
or love of theatrical amusements. On
the stage art is joined in the closest
manner to motion. The fourth finger
is Mercury. IF well proportional it
promises a scientific turn of mind. Re
sourcefulness and diplomacy and pal
mistry agree in almost all particulars
about the thumb. In both systems it is
treated as the most important part of the
hand. The upper joint, that with the
nail, stands for the will; the second
division, the reasoning faculties the

MOTHER, HOME AND HEAVEN.

The first name the infant learns to
lisp is that of mother, and her loving
care and found caress is solace for all
the ills of childhood. From her lips we
learn "Our Father" and "Now : lay
me-" and lessons of truth are institlled
in the heart that time cannot eface.
While treading the slippery paths Of
youth her tender solicitude and earnest
prayers are continually about us, and
when distence intervenes, we know that
we are not forgotten by our mother. 0,
precious, priceless boon Would that
AL who enjoy it might realize its actual
worth.
It is her presence that throws the
greatest charm about home-the dearest
spot on earth-where parents and chill
dren mingle In the sweet endearments
of the domestic circle. A well ordered
home, where love reigns and God
is worshiped, is the best earthly type OF
heaven. Some of our mothers died
long ago, praying for US, and are now
waiting on the other shore for the glad
tidings that the loved ones left behind
have given their hearts to the Saviour.
Others were spared until the once erect
became bowed with age, and IN their
turn needed the same loving care they
had so unselfshly given. Tenderly was
the way smoothed for their weary feet,
until the ''death angel came and freed
the waiting spirit from its suffering
tenement of clay. We go to the famil-
lar room and reach out our arms for the
loved form, but it is not there; words
of love and sympathy from a mothers
lip will fall upon our ear no more. Still
we feel they are mot lost but gone be-
FORE" and that the influence of their
lives and death will stimulate us to
greater exertions In the way to heaven.
Stranger feet may echo through the
home that was once ours, and all about
it become changed; but we may have a
home where change comes not, place
prepared for us by that blessed Saviour
who came into this world, suffered and
died that we might live with Him In
heaven.
Earthly riches are feeting, but we
may lay up treasurers In our home
above, where they will be safely gar
nered until our work here below is
ended, where we shall find them, and all
our loved ones who have died trusting
in Jesus.
Glorious prospect Our mothers
watching for our coming to their bright
home in heaven, where all is Joy and
peace-a fullness our hearts cannot now
comprehend.
1.-The words of deepest meaning,
TO erring mOrtals given,
Of purest, hottest feeling,
Are Mother, Home and Heaven.

sOUANDERING LIVES.

The fisherman wades in the surge,
The sailor sails over the seas,
The soldier steps bravely to battle;
The woodnlan lays ak to the trees.
They are each of the breed of heroes,
The manhood attempted in strife;
Strong hands that go lightly to labor,
True hearts that take comfort in life.
In each is the seed to replenish
The world with the vigOr il needs
The center Of honest affections,
The impulse to generous deeds.
But the shark drinks the blood of the fishes;
The sailor is dropped in the sea,
The soldier lays cold by his cannon,
The woodman is crushed by his tree.
Each prodiSal life that is wasted
In many achievements unseen,
But len9thenS the days of the coward,
And strengthens the crafty and mean.
The blood of the noble is lavished.
That the selfish profit may ind;
God sees the lives that are Squandered,
And we to his wisdom are blind
-Bayard Taylor.

THE farmer upon 100 acres, who has
a few acres in wheat, few in corn, a
few In oats, few in barley and few az
potatoes and roots, with four or five
acres in apples, and as many more in
pears, peaches, plums, ounces, and
cherries, keeping half a dozen COWS.
and, perhaps, twenty-five or forty long
wool grade sheep, will be likely to
come out better, taking one year with
another: than one who deYotes the
larger number of his cares to wheat or
some other leading crop. IF any one
crop is a failure, or sells too low to af-
ford any profit, the others may yield
profit enough to prevent any serious
loss.

which came near producing fatal re-
suits. AS Mr.. Mckinley, farmer,
was driving into the city, accompanied
by his wife and child, aud when a
short distance below the Grange store
he dropped one of the lines. He
stepped out on the tongue of the wagon
to secure the lost line, when the team
took fright, throwing Mr. Mckinley
forcibly to the ground and wheel
passing over his shoulder. The team
ran some distance, when they were
finally stopped by Spanish boy, after

played much presence of mind and
thereby saved herself and child from
harm. Mr.. Mckinley was not dam
