WHITENING IvoRy-uANpLnp KNIVES.

To restore the whiteness to ivory-han-
died knives, wash with soaped flannel
and ukewarm water; then wipe very dry.
Soak them occasionally in alum water
that has been boiled and allowed to cool.
Let the handles lie for an hour In this,
and then remove them and brush we'll
say with nail brush. After this, take
clean linen towel, dip 1t in cold water,
squeeze It out, and while wet wrap 1t
around the handles, leaving them in 1t to
dry gradually, as, if dried too rapidly
out of the alum water they will be in
jured, If properly managed, this process
will whiten them.-Neo York Dispatch.

FOSTERING LIQUOR DRINKING IN INDIA.

"NN@-'A~A-'N
A memorial signed by a large number of
Hindoos asking for legislation to check the
alarming spread of the liquor drinking habit
in India was presented to the British Niceroy
of that country some time ago. The Viceroy
seems to have paid no attention to the mat.
ter, but the House Of Commons, by a vote OF
113 to 103, promptly passed resolution cen
surfing the Government for fostering spirit
drinking in India How is it that the
''heathen" in coming in contact with our
boosted Christian civilization are imbued by
our vices faster than they can be elevated by
our religion2 Have the so-cslled Christian"
nations the right to appropriate that name so
long as they tolerate an evil which is not only
their own chief curse, but constitutes the
greatest hindrance to the work OF the mis-
sionaries? Is there not grim irony in the
idea that the missionaries sent to convert,
and the rum sent to ruin the heather arepro-
ducts of the same civilization? Boston Is a
great missionary centre, but a whisky mil

nish 5000 gallons of gin daily for the de-

To CLEAN TIE POTS.

The natural color of iron is gray, anda
little care will keep iron vessels this col
or. If they are black it is because they
are dirty. 1t is good plan, occasional
ly, if you must use ironware instead of
lighter vessels, to plunge such articles as
baking pans, spiders, griddles, etc., in
water, with one tablespoonful of soda to
each gallon of water, cover close, and
cook them for two hours. Then remove
one at time and wash each piece before
it dries. You will be amazed at the
changed condition of your wares the first
time you do it, unless you are one among
10000 of our housekeepers.- Washing

Rosecrans's Peculiar Expression.

General w. s. Rosecrans, Register of

liar one-sided expression of face which
has history to it. Few people know
that General Rosecrans was the first man
who refined petroleum. He expert
mented with it forty Yeas ago. Peo-
pie said he was fool, but he went on
with his experiments. Presently as
though to prove what they said, his
petroleum blew up and burned his face
in serious way. He has suffered from
that injury ever since.
