WOMAN AND HOME.
SOCIAL PURITY AT THE BOTTOM
OF ALL ETHICS.

The Old Roof Tree-A Band of Heroines.
A Box on the Ear-Southcrn Women.
Fast and Fashionable--Outdoor Cooking
OutGt--Hints, Etc.
1t has taken the race a long climb through
'the slow notified, trivial years for man
kind to see that there cannot be two sets OF
moral laws, for men and another for
women. Even yet people belonging to the
gay world laugh such prudery to scorn.
And they who preach against Mormonsm
with holy horror regard evils much more tre-
mendous in their effects with the most aston
fishing indifference.
Many who look upon this question of social
purity as at the bottom of all ethics have
united to work in the white cross movement,
q most worthy association, for whenever
temptations exist a man will hunt for them"
In the words of Professor Dowdin, "the sad
dest ordeal of love is to witness the dmin-
fishing purity and spendor of IA star like
soul, the clouding over of a heroic nature by
film of dishonor."
That need not be. If appealed to the spirit
will command the senses. 1t will be remem-
bered with thankfulness that never before
have there been so many who could stand
for the quaint description by Betsy Babbitt
IA good true nolse man is the hest iob old
nature ever turned off her hands or ever will
a man who would wine AWAY the tears of n
babe with hand soft as a woman's or who
would die with his feet to the foe
Mr., and Mrs Sonthmayd's teachings to
their sons were in effect: "I,ook lpon anv
woman as a possible mother or sister If she
be weak YOU must be strong. Never soil tbe
self respect of vour vounn manhood Moth

to employ it haselv. Live so that Won can

every morning of your lives. God never
meant that man and woman should have two

curse Of the world -

Lime water is quite transparent and clear
as common spring water, but if we breathe
or blow into it, the bright liquid becomes
opalescent and as white as milk The best
way to try this simple experiment is to put
some powdered quick lime into wine bottle
full of cold water; shake them well together
now and then for a day; then allow the bot
tie to remain quiet till the next day, when the
clear lime water may be poured off from

Dangerous Oil.

Mr.. EDITOR: Public attention should
be called to the fact that there is kero-
sene oil OF an inferior quality in the
market, and that inferior kerosene oil is
always dangerous. The law prescribes
a fine of not less than fifty dollars nor
more than five hundred dollars for any
one who shall "import, sell, give or fur
nish to any person in this Kingdom,
benzole, petroleum, kerosene oil, or any
oils of which the component part is
naphtha or gasoline, which gives off an
infammable yapor at temperature OF
less than one hundred degrees Fahren-
heit."
Every cargo and lot OF oil should be
tested by the proper official, for the
standards marked upon the cases are
often very unreliable Before the law
was passed Mss number OF serious
accidents and deaths occurred from the
use of inferior oil and upon investiga-
ton large quantities OF the oil in store
were found to fall below the legal stan
dard and were shipped out OF the coun-
try. WILLIAM q. SMITH.
