THERE are indications that within the next
few weeks there will be quite an advance in
the price of silk. In fact, an increase has
already taken place in the value OF the raw
material, but has hardly penetrated to the
manufactured stocks in the possession of re-
tail dealers. The causeifor this advance is
found in the probable failure of the Italian
silk crop OF this year.

Cure for Deafness.

Last summer while visiting Il relative
who had for years been extremely deaf.
in reply to my eager inquiry as to how
the marvellous change to perfect hear
lug had been effected; | received this in
answer:
"Some months ago, an old lady told
me to use heated hens oil, dropping it
into the ear internally, one or more
times daily, and above all to persevere
in its use, and II would certainly help
me. This simple remedy | have faith
fully employed, and you see the result.
| now hear as well as ever did in my
life"
This oil is very penetrating and in the
case mentioned acted remedially by
softening the indurated ear-waX, which
is no doubt the cause of deafness in
more instances than is generally sup
posed.-AdUdnce.

ITO Live More Nearly as We Pray

Every one who prays at all, prays,
"Thy kingdom come" but facts abun-
dainty prove that the habits of giving
which many adopt are not i'll keeping
with their prayers. A considerable pro-
portion of church members give mere
trife for the extension of the kingdom
of God through the earth, and they are
not few who give nothing at all; yet
they keep on praying-"Ihy Kingdom
come" A child once asked its father
who habitually prayed for the destitute,
"Father, why don't you answer some oi
YOUR prayers YOURSELF If giving for
the progress of Christ's kingdom could
be as extensive as praying for it, that is
if every one who pr;iys for 1t would give
even little, the principal hIndrance to
its extension would be removed. 1t
seems to be taken for granted that the
good work of Foreign Missions will 60
Oh at its present magnitude indefinite
ly, that if this church or that church
falls short, the whole amount needed
will be secured in some way, that
if do not take the Trouble to give, ii
will make no difference as though the
missionary work had acquired such Il
momentum that 1t cannot he stopped.
But il is by no means among the GER
taiuties that the American Board will
always do us much us it has been doing.
Lack of conservation on the part of
Christians, or the diversion of gifts to
other objects, may in the next few years
reduce the number of missionaries one
third or One-half. In fact, there is only
one way, to human foresight, i'll which
the work can be expanded as it should
be, or even go on undimlniShed, and
that is by securing the gifts of those
who now give little or nothing. 1t is
only with difficulty that those who give
largely can maintain SO liberal Il meas
ure of generosity. Increase from them
can hardly he looked for. But the great
number who now do SO little can easily
swell the amount 10y their many small
gifts.
No one should withhold his offering
because it is small. Thee cents Il week
from each member of our churches
would put more than half Il million dol
lars into the annual revenue of the
American Board. The good man Tobit,
whose biography is contained in the
Apocrypha, left this injunction with his
son, which is excellent advice for us all (:
at thou hast abundance, give aims ac-
cordiugly; if thou have but little, be
not afraid to give according to that lit
tle."-ReU. George Harris IN Missionary
Herald.

About Milk.

Milk is Il vehicle fol- qulnlue Milk is
ii good solvent, and ctfectually DISCUSSES
the bitterness of this drug. One grain
of Quinine dissolved in an ounce of
milk scarcely makes it bitter. An
ounce of milk, indeed, will dissolve two
grains of quinine without imparting
much bitterness to the taste. When
five grains are dissolved in a tumbleI-
ful of milk all bitterness disappears.
Milk as preventive of lead poison
ing: The Journal de Medicine reports
in Il recent issue Il remarkable instance
of the consumption of milk by work
men in white lead factories. IT. &as no
ticed in some French lead mills that
among large number of workmen, two
who daily consumed large quantity OF
milk, remained free from the injurious
effects OF the lead, which made them
selves visible in many of the other
hands. \ daily ration of Il quart of milk
was then given to each of the workmen,
and lead collie soon became unknown.
From 1868 to 1871 no case of collie oc-
cured in these factories. \ preventive
of painters collie, so simple and so eff
caciOus, demands fair trial in our own
white lead factories.
A good test of the purity of milk: a
German paper gives IL test for watered
milk which is simplicity itself. n we'll
polished knitting needle is to he dipped
into deep vessel of mix, and immedi-
ately withdrawn i'll an upright position
If the milk is pure some of the fluid will
hang to the needle, but if water has
been added to the milk, even in small
proportions, the fluid will not adhere to
the needle.

Indoor Work for Christ.

A Christian wOman's fist duty is to
care well for her own home. Every
body admits that. Her husband, her
children, parents, brothers and sisters,
possess the paramount claim. No one
fultills her Obligations who goes about
working in the vineyards of other peo-
pie, while her own particular dOOr-yard
is all grown over with weeds and bri-
ers.
Having given our assent to this new
er disputed summary of wOman's duty,
there is room for a few comments. In IL
multitude of instances the home would
gain immensely by the diversion from
it of the constant supervision of its mis-
tress. 1t would be positive and i'm
mediate source of benefit to nine house
holds out of ten, which are now ruled
by devoted mothers, were these moth
ers to become interested in some practi-
cal outside work for Christ. Homes
which have dropped into routine ways
homes which though pleasant, are sell
tishly absorbed in their own affairs, and
homes which have forgotten that they
should be training schools for heaven
would receive forward impulse were
they to feel the vitalizing power of 8
new enthusiasm. To break away from
the narrowness of personality, and t.
enter with energy into some work fo
helping the race, cannot fail to benet
character.
Let Christian woman give hersel
with genuine heart conservation to tn,
work of carrying forward missions, for
eign or domestic, and she will be large
and better and lovelier. Her children
will be more literally educated, and he
household will feel the impulse of infiu
ences pure and sacred. Remote parts G
the world will be brought to her arm.
Hell sons and daughters will grow ia
miliar with Madras and Bombay, Yoke
hama and Nagaski. From time to tim
bIOnzed and stalwart men, the sturd
pioneers of the Cross, and delicate
beautiful women, who have heroicall
ventured into strange lands, and cheer
fully endured exile for Christ's SAX,
will come to the house and be guests ;
the table. The very newspapers will |
read with keener receptivity and
quicker intelligence, because of the Gu
tivatiOn which has become the necess;
ny consequence OF the mothers intere
in missions. 1t would be the same WEI
the interest in something else, if an,
thing else there be which is equally
strong and cordial work for humanit
undertaken for Christ's sake. The on
door work will help the indoor wor

Things Worth Remembering.
SURE CURE FOR THE GROUP.

said to be true.l
A SURE CURE FOR THE GROUP.
Crate large lump of alum to a fine
powder, or better still, purchase one
ounce of finely pulverized alum at the
druggists and add twice its bulk in
powdered sugar or syrup. Give tea
spoonful of this mixture dissolved in
hot water to Il child over six years old,
and from ii quarter of tea-spoonful to
three-quarters to younger child. 1t
will cause it to throw up at once and
put it into a perspiratiOn. Then wrap
it up very warm, and let the child sleep
awhile, and when it wakes feed it mod
erately and with simple food.
AN EXCELLENT PEN WIPER.
Procure few cents worth of shot,
the smaller the better, and put them
into a wide-mouthed vial, such us can
be obtained at any druggist. When
you wish to clean your pen rub it gent
ly up and down among the shot. This
will clean it directly, and the pen wi
per will last your life time, while it
cleans the pen far better than any other
kind.
OLIVE OIL FOR DELICATE MACHINERY.
Take Il narrow piece of sheet lead,
scrape the surface perfectly bright and
slip it into a bottle of tie best olive oil
The bottle should then be placed in {
window, where it will be fully exposed

WHY GLASS is BROKEN BY HOT WATER
No person could be so foolish as t,
hazard the breaking of glass by pour
ing hot water upon it if he understood
the simple means of accounting for tn,
breakage. If hot water is poured int,
a glass with round bottom, the ex
pansion produced 10y the heat of tn,
water will cause the bottom of tn
glass to enlarge, while the sides, whicl
are not heated, retain their former di
mcnslons, and consequently, if the hea

A Few Words With Parents and

Prudential committee, and printed on
the back of the Nv eekly Report given
to every scholar in the graded school,
contains hints of value to every parent,
and we give it place here that it may
have wider circulation than simply this
school district:
You do not expect the Prudential
committee to visit and talk with each
of you about the schools and your
scholars. Will you heed few words of
suggestion and if they commend them
selves act in reference to them. In ad-
dition to what the district pays, you
give the time, board and clothing of
children for their education. These are
IL heavy pecuniary tax upon you. Should
you not personally see that the expen-
diture is prOfita6ly made2 But these
are as nothing compared with the loss
of the formation of correct habits of
study, of industry, of self-contIol and
inward thought. These latter make the
character, the man, the woman. If the
latter are unattained, the school is worse
than failure. That it may aid in at
tanning such habits, will you help us by
carefully examining this card weekly,
by questioning your child daily in ref
erence to what he or she is doing in the
school, by aiding the teacher all YOU
can in forming habits of promptness,
