How many young wife's heart is sad
dened and happiness scattered because she
cannot "cook as mother did," II is strange,
sadly strange, and yet we all know it is true.
How many a time has the tender-E earted re-
porter felt his soul bursting with grief as he
told the narrowing story OF some poor suf-
fering woman, whose cheerful sunshine had
turned to dismal darkness Just because she
could not @cook as mother did" And how
it delights the heart of the reporter when he
chances 10 hear of one devoted young vile
who is rescued from the gloomy tate Of so
many, in a manner SO simple and easy that
the only wonder is that all are not saved.
This one 10 whom he now refers was led a
blushing and blooming bride, but few short
weeks ago, TO the altar by one of our most
promising and prominent young men. He
promised to do everything in his power to
make her happy, but in an evil hour he
made the dangerous discovery that she could
not "cook as mother did" He told her so,
and from that hour the hfe-light of happi-
ness began TO die out 10 her once radiant
eyes. The bloom that put TO shame the
fancied perfection OF the rose departed from
her cheek, the voice that welcomed him 10 a
happy heart and home grew silent as The
grave, and the young husband saw that
sDme thing must be done soon. He sslred tbe
so. r1wful wife why she was so<<ad, and she
told hin, because she cNHl1 moi cook as mis-
mother did, bst-iT she had Kosai Baking
Powder he could say no longer Like a
sen.iale fellow, he ordered a dozen boxes at
once. and now he says he is afraid his wife
will raise the rpof off the house s1ale day,
but ne don't care, for she y happy.

Cotton Claims.
A Washington special to the Chicago Tribune
says: The Washington claim agents, who own
or have a large contingent interest in cotton
claims, have been working like beavers ever
since the session began Tor the House BILL
and they have piled the members OF the
committee and OF Congress with advice,
argument, suggestion and persuasion in
season and out of season. One syndicate of
claim agents in Washington owns or controls
cotton claims based on the cotton tax collect
ed in 1866 and 1867, the estimated amount OF
which is S50,000,000; and S50,000,000 more
are demanded by the holders of cotton
claims arising under the Captured and
Abandoned Property act" These claimants
had right to bring their suits in the Court
of Claims, and all who could prove loyalty
did so, and some SO, 600, 900 were paid them.
The disloyal claim ants did not put in an
appearance, but the Washington claim
agents who hold these claims have been
greatly encouraged by the favorable report
of a committee on a bill which they believe,
if passed, will prove a rich harvest for them.
There are other unadjusted cotton claims
amounting to about $4,000, 900 for cotton
alleged TO have been seized by agents OF the
government on June 80, 1865. The holders
of these claims are also jubilant over the
favorable prospects of the House bill.

the fierce flames. The woods on the hills are
a perfect sheet of flames, and the oil men

The Decline of Irish Industries.

The revival of Irish manufacturing in
dustries, largely destroyed by hostile
legislation, is much agitated. The sta
tistics Of the decline are given as fol-
lows:
In 1900 there were in Dublin 81 master
wooden manufacturers and 4,91S hands;
In 1910, IL masters and 602 hands, 80
master woolcombers and 230 hands; in
1884, 5 masters and &C hands. The car
pet manufacturers in 1900 were ID
masters and 720 hands; in 1S41, master.
The blanket manufacturers in Kilkenny
in 1900 were IS masters and 9, 900 hands;
in 1922, ~ masters and 925 hands. The
broad silk loom weavers in Dublin in
1900 at work we're $500, and in 1910,
go. The calico looms in Balbriggan in
1890 in full work were 1900, and in
1871, 226. The flannel looms in the
county Of Wicklow in 1900 were 1000 :;
in 1841, not one. The case of the Cork
braid weayers, worsted weavers, hosiers,
woolcombers, cotton weavers, linen
check weavers, was even worse. These
industries employed thousands of hands
up to 1920; now there is nothing left but
a few wheezy hand looms near Shandon
Church, and an almost extinct colony of
calico weavers at Clonakilty. The linen
trade once throve in Mayo, but there is
not trace of it now.

"What did you observe, sir 2"

The Shining Earth.

The astronomers say that the stars
shine because they are suns like ours,
though placed at such an enormous dis
lance that they appear to be mere glow
ing points. The planets, Of which the
earth is one, shine by rejecting the light
Of the sun. IF there are beings like our
selves inhabiting the other planets, es-
peclally the nearer ones, Mars and We.
nus, they unquestionably see this earth
as very brilliant object in their noctur-
nal skies. Although. the earth appears
to us anything but starlike, yet it is easy
to prove that it reflects enoug sunlighth
to make it shine like star when viewed
from distance of few million miles.
It is not supposed that the stars are in
habited, yet some Of them, at least, may
have inhabited worlds revolving around
them, as the earth revolves around our
sun.-NesU York San.

USEFUL HINTS.

To CLEAN JEwE1RY.-This is the way
to clean jewelry of intricate workman
ship: Put them in small glass bottle
with warm soap-suds and a little pre-
pared chalk; shake them well, then
rinse them in clean cold water, and wipe
dry on clean linen towel. Any jewelry
can be cleaned beautifully by this
means. But if the gold is not good the
soap will find it out for you.
FACTS WORTH KNow1Na.-Iron rust
is removed by salt mixed with lemon
Juice; mildew is removed by dipping in
buttermilk and laying in the sun fruit
stains are taken out by freezing, or by
boiling water hot water takes out new
paint; old fruit stains are taken out by
bleaching on the grass when trees are
in bloom. A small piece of charcoal
placed IN your meat larder will keep the
articles sweet and wholesome as we'll
as ice.
PROVE Your SWEETS. M. Chap
man, OF Chicago, says the following is
sure test OF the presence of sulphuric
acid IN sugar and molasses: Buy at any
drug store Scents worth of muriate
baryta, and dissolve it in say an ounce
bottle of water. Dissolve in another
bottle of water the sugar sample, and,
when it is settled and clear, pour into it
Tablespoonful of the baryta. If it
becomes milky and cloudy, it is safe to
say the sugar contains sulphuric acid.
1t it remains clear it has none Keep
your baryta bottle and try every lot Of
sirup, molasses and honey in the same
way. Sulphuric acid (ol of vitriol), Like
arsenic, is often good as medicine, but
when taken daily for years as food, in
ever so diluted form, who will have
the presumption to say that it is not a
most dangerous and destructive poison?
For REMOVING GREASE SPoTs.-An
excellent mixture to remove grease
spots, from boys and mems clothing
particularly, is made of four parts of al
cohol to one part Of ammonia, and about
half as much ether as ammonia. Apply
the liquid to the grease spot, and then
rub diligently with q sponge and clear
water. The chemistry of the operation
seems to be that the alcohol and ether
dissolve the grease, and the ammonia
forms soap with which it is washed out
with the water. The result is much
more satisfactory than when something
is used which only seems to spread the
spot and make it fainter, but does not
actually remove it. IF oil is spilled on a
carpet and you Immediately scatter corn
meal over it, the oil will be absorbed by
it. Oil may also be removed from car
pets upon which you do not dare put
ether or ammonia by laying thick blot
ting paper over it and pressing hot
fat-iron over it. Repeat the operation
several times, using clean paper each
time.
