The Ely Screen Agent.

He had six fly screens under his arm and
was talking to a man in front OF house on
Hastings street.
" / am offering these at fifty per cent. be-
low their cash value" he explained, be-
cause want to get out of town."
"Nhell, it yhas soon coming winter, und
like to know how some flies come aroundt
den ?' the man answered
"That's true enough, my friend, but the
fly question is not the only thing. These
screens save twenty-five per cent. in fuel
"Vhell ~
"They give an air of refinement to a
house"
Well ?'
81 don't say that they keep out cholera
altogether, but you can't point to a house
in Detroit provided with them which has
had a case Of cholera"
"Vhell, dot vhas So"
"In buying them you help poor man
to reach the bedside OF his dying wife in
Buffalo"
Yes"
"You add at least 500 to the value of
your place"
Yes"
They are not burglar-alarm, but
when burglar finds them in the windows
he turns away discouraged"
Dot vhas good"
"The air which enters you house is
strained, as it were, and must therefore be
free of chips, gravel, sand, dust and other
substances deleterious to health

And you will take 'em ~
"My frendt, vhas dose fly screens like a
watch dog? If some poys come in der
alley does dey raise a big row and let me
know
why, no, of course not
"IfI yhas in row nit my wife, does

"Of course not"
"If come home in der night und der

No, sir-no sir How can you expect
any such things from fly screens"

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Thinly-clad ankles and limbs in fall and
winter will generally cause severe acute
diseases of the lungs and throat in chill
dren
Put five drops of chloroform on little
cotton or wool in the bowl of clay pipe,
then blow the vapor through the stem into
an aching ear and instant relief will be
afforded.
Pipe-clay made into paste with cold
water will, it is said, remove grease stains
from papered or plastered walls if put on
without rubbing, let stay over night, and
then brushed off lightly. Where the grease
has been on for some time several applica-
tons may be needed.
A convenient article for the kitchen is a
stout tin box in which may be kept the
stove polish and brushes and cloths used
about the stove. 1t should have handle
and cover. 1t will pay for itself over
and over, in iessening the cleaning of the
shelf upon which brushes and backing are
usually kept, and it will be found also that
more attention will be given to the stoves
where the necessary means are so easily
carried about from room to room.
A pretty way to make shade for the
lamp, or rather a cover for the porcelain
shade, is to take a narrow strip of red silk,
gather it quite full at each edge, drawing
it close at the top so it will fit the shade,
then trim tha bottom with antique lace
this should not be gathered, but lie smooth
ly over the shade; then with heavy en-
broidery silk draw in fringe all around
the lace; this should be thick and close.
and should quite conceal the shade
In connection with ironing, a hint on the
use of irons may not be out of place
When done using let the irons be at once
removed from the stove and as soon is cool
put on a shelf, or in a closet away from
steam if possible, as they become rusty il
exposed. Starch is so apt to stick to them
it is well to always wash them off before
putting them on to heat for the week s
ironing. Many a soiled spot on garments
may thus be saved. Washing is better
than rubbing with salt as many do after
ironing starched clothes.
The great number of uses to which kero-
sene may be applied are daily multiplying.
1t not only lights our homes with great
briIliancy and very cheaply, but friend of
the writer, who has just had q new house
made ready for occupancy, and was unable
on account of the extreme cold to use wa
ter for cleaning windows, has found that a
cloth dipped in kerosene and rubbed quickly
over the glass, followed by dry cloth or a
piece of chamois, not only removes all the
spots, but gives them a polish like plate
glass. The same is also true OF mirrors
We have long known that it was valuable
for polishing vanished furniture, and we
have tested its efficacy in relieving severe
rheumatic palms, so we shall cease to won
der at its astonishing adaptability to many
other human wants. The supply seems ex-
haustless; so for the present we need have
no fears of its running short

Is ARTIFICIAL STONE A New PRoDUCT1
1t Is believed by many persons that the art
of making artificial stones is prehistoric,
and that the pyramids were built of artifi-
cial blocks manufactured from the sands of
the surrounding plain. In modern times a
Frenchman named Coignet has accom-
plished some wonderful work with artifi-
cial stone. The most important and costly
work that has yet been undertaken with
Coignet's material is a section three miles
IN length Of the Vanne aqueduct for sup
plying water to the city of Paris. An
other interesting application of this mate
rial has been made in the construction of
the lighthouse at Port Said, Egypt. 1t is
$50 feet high, and resting upon mono
lithic block OF beton, containing nearly 400
cubic yards.

THE BALTIc's LEvEL-Tn 1850 a series
of water-marks was established along the
entire length of the coasts of Sweden; and
these marks or gauges were renewed in
1851, and again in 1884 They have been
inspected at short intervals, systematic
record of the observations being preserved.
The results have shown that in the 1874
years the northern part of Sweden has
risen seven feet, the elevation gradually
growing less to the southwards until, at
BornhoIm, point is reached which re
mains at the same level as in the middle
of last century. The average elevation of
the Swedish coast has been about fifty-six'
inches. During the same period the coast
limiting the Baltic or the south has been
steadily sinking.

For the REcoRD-UNIoN.l
THE WORDS OF FAITH.

Three words, full of meaning, well lay them to
heart,
From mouth to mouth make them known:
They reach us not from the street and the mart,
Our heart reveals them alone.
And naught the worth of man can retrieve,
II in those words he no longer believe.
Created free IN FREEDOM man dies,
Though Graded in chains clank loud
Let us not be disturbed by the rabbles' cries
Or freedom abuse of the maddened crowd
The slaye-ah tremble when he breaks his
chain
Your fear of the free man is idle and vain
And blest vIRTUE-not an empty sound
Profess her o mani in thy sphere;
And though often thou falter on thy round,
The heaven born strive to come near.
What reasoning skeptcs viii never discern
From the child-like soul they might II learn
COP is and His holy win none bend,
Though ours with doubt e'er is fraught;
Exalted above or all time, or the end
Rules uuickenng, Supremest Thought.
Things viii course here on earth without reason
or rhyme.
Yet persists through all changes Spirit Sub
lime.
These three words, fun Of meaning. e'er guard
gainst loss,
From mouth to mouth let them speed
of their origin, though not in worldly dress,
Your soul, aye, giveth good heed
And naught can man OF his worth deprive,
If his faith in these three words be alive.

The storm clouds have gathered and burst in
Kisses the sleet as it drives on apace;
White crests on the waves look like shrouds OF
dead sailors;
The waves like Deaths heralds in furious
race.
Hank comes from the offing the signal of
danger
Through the sleet and the mist sounds the
guns Sullen roar
A ship in distress No power can save her;
The wind drives her straight on the rocks by
the shore
O women that kneel on the deck all surfbeaten,
O brave sailor laos who toll on TO the last,
Your prayers and your toll seem alike unaVall-
ing
She has struck! Now God help then-the
ships filling fast
o heart-broken mother hold closer your baby,
Who clings to your neck with its cold little
hands
Is there no one to rescue, while there. just be-
fore you,
The beach lifts securely its cleaning white
sands?
Aye, there is the beach. but the stoutest of swim

Would know it were madness that peril to
But look On the sands there, woman is
standing,
And fearlessly facing the wind and the wave.
Der the wild waste of waters her voice rings
out clearly:
breast
The rope whirls out swiftly. Now pray it may
reach her
Alas it floats far on the pillows white crest.
Again and again And now on the water
1t dances before her in mad. mocking glee.
A moment she pauses-then thinks OF the ship
wrecked,
And springs for the rope through the pitiless
sea.
The surge beats her back-now she misses her
But she silI presses on mid the tumult and
roar;
She has grasped it and conquered; soon pallid
and breathless,
In triumph she stands on the surf-beaten
shore.
Now cheer, gallant men who have ne'er
blenched nor ALTERED;
Give thanks, mothcr-heart mid the cluster
ing throng;
You are saved and the hand Of woman has
saved you
woman whom love has made fearless and
strong
They stand on the beach in the grey of the
morning,
And watch the lost ship as it sinks in its
grave
And one staiwart sailor holds close to his bosom
The brave little wife who could rescue aud
save
What care they for skies so blue2
Scottish hearts are leal and true;
Joys are many cares are few

Far away seem storm and strife;
Love that only ends with life.

THE WRECK OF THE DAVID HOPE.
JANUARY, 1SS'

Blue the sky and fresh the lea
Small white clouds floats light and free,
Shines the peaceful. sunlit sea
On the beach of Aberdor.
Stately ships nations pride,
Calmly there at anchor ride;
Softly Gibbs and flows the tide
On that wayewashed shore.
Zen the leaves are scarcely stirred
BY the breeze far-off bird,
Singing to his mate, is heard
on the beach of Aberdor.
Far away seem storm and strife;
All the scene with peace is rife;
Can the sadness of our life
Reach that WaVewashed shore
In her cottage small and plain
Hides a Scottish wife her pain
Prays that she may meet again
On the beach OF AbeTdor,
Sailor husband. true and brave
Prays that God his life will save
save him from sailors grave
Ere he gains that shore.
Seeks the bird his downy nest
Slowly sinks the sun to rest
Darker grows the glowing west
Dark the beach of Aberdor.
Summer days will soon be past;
Winters gloom must come at last;
Waves will dash and rain beat fast
On that cruel shore.
