. dozen acQuaintanccs in the course Of

and part,rand straightway we forget
all that passed between us, or we

given [and received) are as inctIacca-
BILE as they may be slight, and We can
never hold converse for brief half

Things Worth Knowing.

That fish may be scaled much easier by
first dipping into boiling water about a
minute. That salt fish are quickest and
best freshened by soaking in sour milk.
That milk which has turned or changed
may be sweetened or rendered fit for use
again by stirring in little soda. That salt
will curdle new milk hence in preparing
milk porridge, gravies, ETC., the salt should
not be added till the dish is prepared. That
clear boiling water will remove tea stains
and many fruit stains. Pour the water
through the stain, and thus prevent its
spreading over the fabric. That table
spoonful of turpentine boiled with your
white clothes will greatly aid the whitening
process. That boiling starch is much i'm.
proved by the addition of sperm, or salt, or
both, or little gum arabic dissolved. That
blue ointment and kerosene mixed in equal
proportion and applied to bedsteads is an
unfailing bug remedy, and that a coat of
whitewash is ditto for the walls of a log
house. That kerosene will soften boots or
shoes that have been hardened by water,
and will render them pliable as new. That
kerosene will make your tea.kettle as bright
as new. Saturate woolen rag and rub with
it, 1t will also remove stains from the clear
vanished furniture. That cold rain water
and soap will remove machine grease from
washable fabrics. That beeswax and salt
will make your rusty lat-irons as clean and
smooth as glass. Tie lump of wax in "a
rag and keep it for the purpose. When the
irons are hot rub them first with the wax rag,
then scour with paper or cloth sprinkled
with salt.

Why Women Work.

1t is curious that the world has yet to be
convinced that women do not love work any
better than men do. They are credited
with dependence, with love of ease and
luxury, and yet when a salaried position is
in question the woman has to be content
with less because "she needs less" 1t can
not be because she spends less, for the ex-
travagance of women was dwelt upon by
Solomon and Jeremiah and it is a song that
has never known rest. The reason for the
difference in wages is generally found to be
in the assertion that women who do not
need support or who have few responsible
tiles crowd into the paid occupations. There
is an inconsistency here. If she loves ease,
why does she work ? If she spends more,
how is it she needs less ? The truth is that
very few women work from any other rea.
son but necessity. Here and there is one
who loves independence, works for it and
deserves it, and here and there is another who
would rather work than forego certain lux.
uries, and she earns them; but the majority
OF women work because they have response
bilities, and as a class they are our most re
liable, sober and economical workers for nc

CANDLES away their bread and butter, and nc

Christ Is Christianity.

Both intellectually and morally, Christ i:
Christianity. Christianity is not related tc

TEN thrown off from the mind of its author
and resting thenceforward only on its own
merits. A philosophy may thus be severed
altogether from the person of its originator
with entire impunity. Platonic thought
would not have been damaged if Plato had
been annihilated. But detach Christianity
from Christ, and it vanishes before your
eyes into intellectual vapor. For it is the
essence of Christianity that day by day. and
hour by hour, the Christian should live in
conscious, felt, sustained relationship to the
everything author of his creed and his life.
Christianity is non-existent apart from
Christ it centres in, and radiates from, him
1t is not mere doctrine bequeathed by
him to a world with which he has ceased u
have any dealings. 1t perishes outright
when we separate it from the living person
Of its founder. Christ is the quickening
spirit of Christian humanity. He lives in
Christians; thinks in Christians acts
through aud with Christians; and is associ.
ated with every movement of the Christian 4
deepest life. That life is a loyal homage OF
the intellect, of the heart and of the will to
a Divine King with whom will, heart and
intellect are in close and constant com
munion, and from whom there flows forth
through the truth, and the sacraments, and
the spirit, that supply of light, and love, and
resolve, that enriches and ennobles the

Christian Manners.

The Christian church is intended to be
the home and refuge OF all the courtesies
and genteness of life. The world is rude
and harsh, inconsiderate and intolerant. 1t
lacks heart, and therefore lacks pity for the
weak and erring, and divinest chivalry for
the wayward and unfortunate. But in a
society whose Head and Chief, whose in
spiration and power, is the gentle Christ,
that Christ who breaks not the bruised
reed, nor quenches the smoking flax, pity
and kindness should never be absent, con
sideration for others should always be in
the ascendant; and there we should teach
and be taught to "adorn every day with
sacrifices" 1t should be, it will be yet, the
a." best society" the best school of manners,
the finest nursery for whatsoever things are
"lovey" to look upon and to enjoy, what
soever things are of good report, and win
honest praise from men, whatever feeds
modesty of spirit, persistent preference OF
others, grace of behavior, strength of will
and the beauty of holiness.--ReU. j. Clifford

Communion with God.

AT times God is pleased to admit his chill
dren to nearer approaches and more init.

his son Jesus Christ. He sends down the
spirit OF adoption into their hearts, whereby
they are enabled to cry, Abba Father"

joy, trust, hope, reverence and dependence
which 1t is at once their duty and their
happiness TO exercise towards their Father in
heaven. by the influence of the same spirit,
he shines into their minds TO give them the
light OF the knowledge Of the glory of God,
in the face OF Jesus Christ causes his glory
TO pass before them and makes them, in
some measure, to understand the perfection
of his nature. He also reveals TO them un-
utterable, inconceivable unheard-of things
which he has prepared for those who love
him; applies TO them the exceeding great
and precious promises makes them to know
that great love wherewith he has loved them,
and thus causes them to rejoice with Joy
unspeakable and full of glory. He shines
in upon their souls with the dazzling, melt

The Blacksmith of Ragenbach.

In the principality of Hohenlohe, now a
part of the kingdom of Wirtemberg, is a
village called Ragenbach, where, about
twenty years ago, the following event took
place. One afternoon in early autumn, in
the tavern room of Ragenbach, several men
and women, assembled from the village, sat
at their ease. The smith formed one of the
merry company-he was a strong man, with
resolute countenance and daring mien, but
with such good-natured smile on his lips
that every one who saw him admired him.
His arms were like bars of iron and his fist
like forge-hammer, so that few could equal
him in strength of body.
The smith sat near the door chatting with
one Of his neighbors, when all at once the
door opened, and a dog came staggering
into the room, great, powerful beast, with
a frightful aspect; his head hanging down,
his eyes blood-shot, his ead-colored tongue
halfway out of his mouth, and his tail
dropped between his legs. Thus the fero
cious beast entered the room, out of which
there was no escape but by one door,
Scarcely had the smiths neighbor, who was
bath-keeper of the place, seen the animal
than he became deadly pale, sprang up and
exclaimed in Mortified voice, Good heav-
ems the dog is mad !"
Then arose terrible outcry. The room
was full of men and women, and the foam
ing beast stood before the only entrance
no one could leave without passing him.
He snapped savagely right aud left--no one
could pass him without being bitten. This
increased the fearful confusion. With hor
ror depicted upon their countenances, all
sprang up and shrank from the dog. Who
should deliver them from him The smith
also stood among them, and as he saw the
anguish of the people, it flashed across his
mind how many of his happy and contented
neighbors would be made miserable by a
mad dog, and he formed a resolution, the
like of which is scarcely to be found in the
history of the human race. for noble self
devotion.
"Back all" Numbered he, in deep,
strong voice "Let no one stir; for none
can vanquish the beast but me One vic
tim must fall in order to save the rest
will hold the brute, and, while do so, make
your escape" The smith had scarcely
spoken these words when the dog started
towards the shrieking people. But he went
not far "With Gods help cried the
smith, and he rushed upon the foaming
beast, seized him with an iron grasp, and
dashed him to the floor. A terrible strug
gle followed. The dog bit furiously on
on every side in a frightened manner. His
long teeth tore the arms aud thighs of the
heroic smith, but he would not let him loose
Regardless alike of the excessive pain and
the horrible death that must ensue, he held
down with an iron prasp the snappinp
bowling brute till all had ESCAPED.
lie then flung the half-strangled beast
from him against the wall. and dripping
with blood and venomons foam he left the
room. locking the door after him. Some
nersons then shot the doc throngh the win.
