Many years ago Mohamnledan, travel
ing in Canada, passed church where a
praycr-meeting was being held. He heard
the singing, and inquired if that was the
place where God was worshipped, and
then entered, reverently took off his shoes,
bowed slowly towards the different points
of the compass, performed his devotions
and then sat respectfully through the ser
vice. 1t was enough for him to know that
it was Gods house to call forth his rever.
ence and respect. We can all learn les
son from this, that in whatever church we
are it is only common politeness to show
due respect.

KEEP BoRAX IN TIE HoUSE.-A writer
in the Advocate says: In the laundry it is
economical, as it saves both labor and
soap, and is really cheaper than the latter.
For blankets and other large articles it
is especially valuable, and in all cases the
use Of little borax will save half the
labor when articles are much soled. 1t is
perfectly efectual in driving away red
ants, cockroaches, ETC., if sprinkled around
on shelves, or put in small quantities on
paper and placed in the run-ways of in
sects. Borax is also of great value for
toilet uses, For removing dandruff and
cleansing the hair it is unequaed. 1t is
also good remedy for rough face and
chapped hands. Its application to wounds,
sores, bruises, sprains, etc, proves very
salutary, and is often the only remedy
required, even in severe cases.

PRESERVING EGGs.-To four gallons OF

lime, stirring it some time. When cold
remove any hard Jumps with coarse
sieve; add ten ounces of salt and three
ounces of cream Of tartar and mix the
whole thoroughly. The mixture is tc

are to be packed as closely as possible and
to be kept closely covered up. This is

AT meeting of the New York Farmers
Club, where the subject was discussed

Stacked lime. wet to consistency that will
allow the eggs to stand upright in it. The
bottom layer must be two inches thick

these fresh mixture of Stacked lime is
poured; the process continued until the
vessel is full.
Many dealers prefer coating the eggs
with melted parafline. This is done by
simply dipping them in the mixture

The farmer who relies on wood for
fuel during the winter, and who does not
draw and prepare it before the approach of
cold weather, is getting ready to endure IL
good deal of discomfort. He is engaging
cold rooms, and late meals very Indifferent
ly cooked. Years ago some one started
the story that green wood produced, in
burning, more heat than that which was
dry OF seasoned, and certain lazy people
believed, or pretended to believe the story.
1t has, however, no foundation in fact, If
water is not evaporated from wood by the
influence of the sun, it must be driven off
by heat Of the fire. In fact, Il stick Of
wood is used to dry another before it is in
a condition to be burned. This causes IL
most wasteful consumption of fuel, while
at best poor and miserable fire is kept up
