Hints TO be Remembered.

Remember to shake off and re-
move all dust from a black garment
every time it is worn. Nothing
sooner defaces black silk, poplin,
or woolen, than to wear it shop
ping, riding, or even every day in
the house and then hang it up
without removing the dust. The
gritty notes with which the air is
filed, particularly in regions where
coal is constantly used, grind and
wear out any fabric. First shake
both skirt and overdress faithfully.
A back window is a good place to
shake them from. Then take a
soft old handkerchief and brush the
dress with that instead of clothes
brush. See that all the dust that
settles in folds or pleats is removed.
Stand by an open window and shake
the dust off the handkerchief out
Of the window every little while.
Remember that lemons can be
kept sweet and fresh for months
by putting them in a clean, tight
cask or jar and coverering with
cold water. The water must be
changed as often as every other
day, and the cask kept in cool
place.
Remember that mirrors should
never be hung where the sun shines
directly upon them. They soon
look misty, grow rough or granu-
lated, and no longer give back a
correct picture. The amalgam or
union of tinfoil with mercury, which
is spread on glass to form a looking
glass, is easily ruined by the direct,
continued exposure to the solar
rays.

A young man who thinks that be
can lead reckless and profligate
life until he becomes a middle aged
man, and then repent and make a
good and steady citizen, is deluded
by the devil. He thinks that peo-
pie are fools, destitute of memory.
He concludes that If he repents
everybody will forget that he was
q disipated wretch. This is not
the case /; people remember your
bad deeds and forget your good
ones. Besides this is no easy thing
to break up in middle age bad
habits that have been formed in
youth. When q horse contracts
the habit of banking, he generally
retains it through life. II, will
often perform well enough until
the wheels get into a deep hole,
and then he stops and holds back.
Just so it is with the boys who con-
tract bad habits. They will some
times leave off their bad tricks,
and do well enough until they get
into tight place, and then they
return to the old habit. OF these
boys who contract the bad habit Of
drunkenness, not one in every hun
dred dies a sober man. The only
way to break up bad habit is new
er to contract it. The. only way to
prevent drunkenness is never to
drink.-Trade List.

An Artic Winter.

The official report of Capt. Mares
expedition says: The long Artic
winter with its unparalleled in
tensity and duration Of darkness
produced by an absense of sun
light for 142 days, was passed on
board with much cheerfulness and
contentment; the time, in reality,
passed with great rapidity; and in
January, when the first glimmer-
ing increase in the midday twi-
light began to lengthen sensibly
day by day, the want of light was
scarcely noticed by any one; and
not until the sun was actually re-
turned on the 1st of March did we
in any way realize the intense
darkness we must have experienced
for so long a period. On five even
ings in the week school, formed
on the lower deck under Command
er Markham and several of the
officers, was well attended; each
Thursday being devoted TO lectures,
songs in character, and readings,
with occasional theatrical repre-
sentations; the whole so admirably
arranged and conducted by Com
mander Markham as to keep the
pleased interest of all for the whole
period. The health Of officers and
crew, with only one exception, was
excellent; and the babitable deck
as dry as possible in these regions,
without an extraordinary expendi-
ture Of coal. Although we had
frequent evidence Of strong wind:
prevailing in Robeson channel, the
weather at our winter quarters was
remarkably calm; indeed, we may
be said to have wintered on the
border of Pacific sea- The pre-
vailing wind was from the west

Saved by His Stockings.

Jessie Mcdonald was at the wash
tub one day, when her little son,
Fergus, came rushing into the
room, crying as if his heart would
break.
"Daddy1l die up there" he sob

"Die up where 2" exclaimed Jes-
sic, wringing the soap off her hands
and wiping them upon her apron.
son the top of the factory Chin
ney the rope has slipped off and
they can't get mp another, and the
ladders are all too short"
Jessie few out of the house and
ran to the foot of the factory chin
ney. She covered her eyes with
her hands.
"Lord help me-" she prayed from
the depth of her anxious heart. A
sudden thought came as an answer
to her prayer.
"Angus," she called, "unravel
your stocking, man, and tie a bit of
marter to the end and let it down
to me-"
OFF came one OF Angus blue
stockings, knitted of the best yarn,
spun by Jessie herself. He unravel-
ed it, tied on the mortar, and let it
down to the ground.
Mean while Jessie had sent for
ball Of stout twine. The end of
the twine she tied to the end of the
yarn.
"Now draw the yarn up slowly"
she said.
Angus followed her directions;
as the yarn went higher, she let
out more twine from the ball in her
hands. What steady hands they
we're; no tangling of the twine or
dropping of the ball. If she had
been unrolling clothesline, she
could not have done it more guilty.
At last Angus called out, "All right.
I've got the twine, now what are
you going to do"
"Tie on the rope" exclaimed Jes-
sic.
She tied the rope and the twine
together as sailor could have done.
Eager eyes watched it ascend high
er and higher, until Angus called
ont, "All right. I've got the rope !;
stand from under"
He secured the rope and came
down hand over hand. All, one
can't tell about such things. The
workmen cried like children, and
pressed around Angus and Jessie
with words Of praise and affection.
Then some one wiser than the rest
said, "Let them 60 home alone, -
And, in the little kitchen the hus-
band, wife and child knelt, and
thanked God that their hearth had
not been made dessolate.
