USEFUL HINTS.
To DARKEN hair: Apply strong, cold
black tea every morning.

To DARKEN hair: Apply strong, cold
black tea every morning.
To CLEAN kid gloves Wash in de-
odorized benzine. Dry on the hand
rub with clean cloth while drying.
To CURE an ingrowing toe nail Keep
a notch cut in the middle of the nail
at the top. Always cut the nail straight
across, instead of in at the corners.
INK on carpets: Take up as much of
the freehly-spilt ink as possible with a
sponge repeatedly; finally, rub the spot
with little wet oxalic acid, or salt of
sorrel, wash off with cold water and rub
with aqua ammonia.
To TAKE ink stains out of parchment :
Apply, with camel s-hair brush, solu-
ton of muriate of tin, two drachms
and water, four drachms. After the ink
spots have disappeared, pass through
water, and dry. Another way is to'wash
out the stains by means of camel s-hair
pencils dipped alternately in cyanide of
potassium and oxalic acid.
To CLEAN looking glasses: Keep for
this purpose piece OF sponge, cloth,
and silk handkerchief, all entirely free
from dirt, as the least grit will scratch
the fine surface of the glass. First
sponge it with little spirits of wine, or
gin-and-water, so as to clean off all spots;
then dust over it powder blue, tied in
muslin, rub it lightly and quickly off
with the cloth, and finish 10y rubbing it
with the silk handkerchief. Be careful
not to rub the edges of the frame.
To BLEACH cloth: Into eight quarts
of warm water put one pound of chloride
of lime; stir with stick few minutes,
then strain through a bag of coarse mus
lin, working it with the hand to dissolve
thoroughly. Add to this five bucketfuls
of warm water. stir it we'll and put in the
muslin. Let it remain in one hour turn
ing it over occasionally, that every part
may get thoroughly bleached. When
taken out, wash well in two waters to re-
move the lime, rinse and dry. This
quantity will bleach twenty five yards of
yard-wide muslin. The muslin will
bleach more evenly and quickly if it has
been thoroughly wet and dried before
bleaching.
PIMPLEs are occasioned by the torpid
state of the skin, or in other words, by

proper functions. The cause of these
pimples is therefore neither more nor
less than an obstruction of the pores of
the skin; the perspiration being allowed
to accumulate, the mouths of the pores
become clogged, irritation ensues, and a
pimple arises. The only way to be rid
of them is to allow the skin to do its own
work by preserving it in healthy con-
dition, and keeping the system in good
order. The following ointment is rec
ommended: Take an ounce of barley
meal (the finer the better, one ounce of
powdered bitter almonds, and a suf-
ficient quantity of honey to make them
into smooth paste. If you are taking
medicine for the blood, adopt our advice
and place yourself in the hands of a
competent physician.

Diving for Fresh Water.

They have no fresh water on the shore
of the Persian Gulf mt Bahrin, but copi-
Gus springs close by at the bottom of the
sea. The fresh water is got by diving.
The diver, sitting in his boat, winds a
big goat-skin bag around his left arm, the
hand grasping its mouth, then takes in
his right hand a heavy stone, to which is
attached a strongline and thus equipped,
he plunges in and quickly reaches the
bottom. Instantly opening the bag over
the strong jet of fresh water, he springs
up the ascending current, Mt the same
time closing the bag, and is helped aboard
The stone is then hauled up, and the
diver, after taking breath, plunges again;
and the queerest thing about it all is that
the sources of the copious submarine
springs is thought to be in the green hills
of Osman, some five or six hundred
miles distant.

Fine Linen.

According to the Building News, a
piece of linen has been found at Mem
phis containing $40 picks to the inch,
and il is recorded that one of the Pha-
raohs sent to the Lydian King, Cresus, a
corselet made of linen and wraught with
gold, each fine thread of which was COM
posed of $50 smaller threads twisted to-
gether The ancient Egyptians wove a
fabric called the 'linen of JUSTICE" or
justification. So beautiful and valua-
BILE was il that it was esteemed the most
acceptable Offering to the "Restorer of
Life" A few hand looms can still be
seen ut work in the Eastern bazaars of
Cairo, the cloth woven in which rivals in
texture, color, and design the finest glass
screens in Munich.

American ladies have long been noted
for their taste in dress, and though indi-
vidually they may violate the rules Of
harmony, as a nation they carry off the
palm for elegant dressing, understanding
its fitness to age, complexion and climate.
Ruskin, the great art educator, holds
that there may be as much artistic taste
shown in dress as in the coloring of q
picture, and lays down the following
rules which are full of suggestion I:

a short sermon, every word of which was
distinctly heard by the Listeners. A song by
Rev. Blackburn was the next attraction,
and was followed by prayer by
the general, who also preach
ed for a short time, but principally
addressed himself TO the boys-of whom
there was a large number present. He
spoke kindly and sensibly to them and re.
lated a few stories calculated TO interest
them and leave a good impression. AT
the conclusion Of his speech he asked them
to be present this afternoon for the purpose
of effecting the organization Of an army
promising them that his martial band
would be present and would play for them
while they marched. Then, after singing
the Martyrs Deliverance," those present
were dismissed with the benediction of
the general. Services will be held to day

THE EQUITABLE LIFE AS 4 STOCK
COMPANY.

A few days ago policy holder Of the
Equitable, living in Cairo, wrote to WV.
Crane, general manager Of Illinois, asking
for information concerning the stock Of the
Equitable and its effect on the manage
ment OF the company, as compared with
the Mutual and the New York Life com.
pany. His reply has been handed to us
and as it is Of interest to large number
of our people, we comply with his request
and publish it:
When the Mutual Life and New
York Life were organized, there
was no insurance department in the
state OF New York, that department
being created in the year 1865 or about one
year prior to the organization Of the Equi-
table. The law then required that cor
poration organized to do life insurance
business should deposit capital of $780,.
600 before they could receive charter to
commence business. This amount was
raised by Mr.. Hyde, among tifty-two
directors, no one of them having control
ling interest; and the amount to be re-
ceived by said directors, upon
said stock, was limited by
the charter to Z per cent, which is
simply the producing power of
the said stock. Aside from this, the Equit.
able IS purely mutual company, and
much more under the control of a large
number Of men than the New York Life
The New York Life is controlled byproxies;
and agents Of the company who have been
with it for years, can be found who have
| been paid by the officers Of that corpora
ton to secure the proxies for them
and it makes no difference, in
the New York Life whether
a man has paid-up policy for 800, or is
carrying $4,000 policy. His proxy is
worth as much in one case as the other
These are the facts in the case, and we
wish you would make them fully known.

THE SALVATION ARMY.

The Salvation army held their meeting
in their tent on Eleventh between Washing
ton avenue and Walnut street last evening.
A large crowd of people, comprising the
best in the city, gathered in and around
the tent early to secure comfortable places
from which to receive the full benefit of
whatever might be done or said. The pro-
grammc was the same as usual, consisting
of martial music, religious songs, preach
ing and prayers. The audience was evil
IDENTIFY well entertained, for it paid the
closest attention to all that was going on
and from time to time gave hearty express
sons OF approval. The music and singing
were as usual, excellent, and the sermon was
full of good sense intermingled with humor.
The services were opened by the army
singing several songs, after which Mrs.
Haskell the wife of the generated
the audience in prayer. She prayed for
the business men of the city, for the
sch ools, churches and newspapers, and was
closely listened to from begi ming to end

mon of the evening in an effective man

song was sung by portion Of the army

which were sold for five cents apiece. At

A Down Town MERCHANT having
passed several sleepless nights, disturbed
by the agonies and cries of a suffering
child, and becoming convinced that Mrs.
Winslow's Soothing Syrup was just the
article needed, procured a supply tor the
child. On reaching home and acquanting
his wife with what he had done she re-
fused to have it administered to the child
as she was strongly in favor of Home
pathiy. That night the child passed in
suffering, and the parents without sleep.
Returning home tie day following, the
father found the baby still worse; and
while contemplating another sleepless
night, the mother stepped from the room
to attend to some domestic duties, and lett
the father with the child. During her alb
sence he administered portion of the
Soothing Syrup to the baby and SAID moth
ing. That night all hands slept we'll, and
the little fellow awoke in the morning
bright and happy. The mother was de-
lighted with the sudden and wonderful
change, and although at first otfendcdlat the
deception practiced upon her, has contin-
ue1 to use the the Syrup, and suffering cry
ing babies and restless nights have dsap-
peared. A single trial af the Syrup never
yet failed to relieve the baby, and over
come the prejudices Of the mother. Sold
