For Removing Grease Spots.

An excellent mixture to remove
grease spots from boys and mems
clothing, particularly. is made of four
parts of alcohol to one part of ammo
mia, and about half as much ether as
ammonia. Apply the liquid to the
grease spot, and then rus 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 a soap
with It which is washed out with the
water The result is much more salts
factory than when something is used
which only seems to spread the spot
and make it fainter, but does not act
ually remove it. If oil is spilled on a
carpet and you Immediately scatter
corn-meal over it, the oil will be alb
sorbed by it. Oil may also be removed
from carpets upon which you do not
dare put ether or ammonia by laying
thick blotting- paper over it and press
ing hot hat-iron on it. Repeat the
process several times, using a clean
paper each time.

The following story is told Of an
old colored preacher in an adjoining
county. He was conducting a revi-
val and was about bringing his col
ored brethren, when he got on 10 the
question of prohibition, a question
which is now agitating the minds of
the politicians Of this State. He
said:
Brethren, you have hearn a good
deal about dis new-fangled stuff dey
call Pro.hi bition! Now what does it
mean? Why, my brethren, it means
that a man shan't have a little drop
of sperits of any kind TO 'vive him
up and make him feel happy. Now,
what does the SCRIPTURES say? Eve

The Kind of Girls.

The girl raised with no profession
or trade feels that unless she catches
a husband while her young beauty
lasts, she will be an old maid and a
failure. The way to give her a fair
chance is to give her a larger life,
and let her feel that, though a good
marriage may be the highest estate
Of woman, n bad one is her greatest
curse, and that she need never marry
for home. If the gentlemen who
go about the country marrying two
or three wives year had women Of
this kind to deal with, it would be
better for them and for society.

The Temperance Movement in
England.

Temperament the use ofspirituous
liqours has now its thousands of ad.
vocates in Great Britain. The "Na.
tional Temperance Jubilee Fete,"
which was to have been held in the
Crystal Palace, London, on Septem-
Der 5th, was to have been addressed
by delegates from all the great tenn
peiance organizations in the United
Kingdom. 1t was announced that
excursion trains would be run to the
Crystal Palace from q thousand towns
in the province. Cardinal Manning
is also giving his earnest aid to the
temperance movement. In an adj
dress to the League of the Cross at
Leicester on August 23d he declared
that the drink traffic is a great ma
tional shame. In England alone, he
said, there were 100000 places for the
sale of intoxicants-and increase Of
fourfold since 1859, while the popula-
ton had not doubled. They had al
lowed to grow up in their midst the
means which might cause national
wreck, and they were fostering that
which might create something like
the Commune in Paris. The League
of the Cross was TO affor shelter from
this terrible social and national
curse.

The Outlook.

We clip the following from the
statement in the Report of the State
Superintendent of Free Schools:
The outlook of popular education
was never brighter in this State
The demand for better teachers, the
increase ofteachers' salaries in many
localities, the Improvements among
the teachers in methods Of instruct
ion, the increased interest taken by
parents, the improved buildings, fur
niture and apparatus now being
built and used, and the very general
and favorable comment by the peo-
pie throughout the State, are uner-
ring signs Of the general advance all
along the line. 1t is true we are
very far from the results that we can
and must attain before the free
schools can be considered universal
in furnishing equal advantages to
all the children Of the State. But as
the march Of material development
so rapidly going forward now, goes
on, the means will be at hand to ex-
tend the opportunity of education to
every child in the State.

How the Judge Crossed the
Stream.

I'VE were riding along the road
one chilly day in November" said
General James Craig, talking about
court business and legal talent,
"when we struck small stream that
appeared to be about thirty yards
wide. Hello, said Judge Norton, of
Missouri, this is a new stream to
me. How shall we cross it?' TAX
ing advantage of his ignorance, I
pretended to survey the situation,
and after emerging from the thicket
l solemnly inquired: Judge, can you
swim2' Like a fish, he replied,
while his eyes twinkled in the ex.
pectation of displaying his ability in
that direction. 4 can't said I, so
suppose you strip off and swim across,
testing the depth as you go, and give
me the advantage Of your exper.
ience.' All right he said, dis.
mounting from his horse. Then he
removed all his clothes, tied them to-
gether, placed them safely between
his teeth, and started cautiously in
to the creek. l choked my handker.
chief into my mouth to keep from
laughing, while the judge gravely
waded across through exactly four
inches of water; but you would have
died to see his look of unutterable
disgust when he reached the oppo.
site bank. His feet were blue with
mud, but his ankles were scarcely
touched by the water. 1t was three
straight days before he spoke to me

Gel of the family, as regards the use

want Of order will cause more or less
disturbance. Happy the mother
who has the wisdom and good sense
not to be disturbed by their litter

see the dining-room chairs converted
into railroad trains, and composedly
survey the marks of little fingers on
the furniture? Unbridled license
will ruin the temper and disposition
of any child; but sympathy for and
patience with their desires to find
themselves amusements, will lead
any housekeeper to put up with u

Couldn't Hold Her Tongue.

There is an Indian superstition
connected with Lake Saratoga 10 the
effect that the stiffness of the water
is sacred to the Great Spirit, and who
ever disturbs it by speaking, while

days of the first settlers it is related
that an English woman who was be.
ing taken across in canoe by some
Indians, uttered a loud cry to con-
vince them of their foolish fears
The canoe reached the shore safely

nervous exhaustion, or where there
exists forebodings of evil, Il desire for

or when insanity has already taken
place, Peruna and Manalin should be

well to wait SO long before treatment
is commenced. The early symptoms
are loss Of strength, softness Of the
