Some Uses For BOraX.

Sprinkle places infested by ants with
boraX and you will soon be rid of them.
Blankets and furs put away well
sprinklcd with borax and done up air
tight, will never be troubled with
moths.
A little borax put in the water before
washing red, or red-bordered table,
cloths aud napkins, will prevent their
fading.

ment. Apply a strong solution OF borax
three times day; also dust on the fine
1rY powder very often.
Silver spoons and forks, in daily use,
may be kept bright by leaving in strong
borax water several hours. The
water should be boiling when they are
put in.
Put teaspoonful of borax in your
rinsing water; it will whiten the
clothes, and also remove the yellow cast
on garments that have been laid aside
for two or three years.
One of the best things to cleanse the
scalp thoroughly, is to dissolve one-half
teaspoonful Of borax in quart of water
and apply it, rubbing it in well. Rinse
thoroughly in clear water.

ing will cause them to look so nice as
borax in the water, tablespoonful of
borax to pail of water being the right
proportion. Always wash baby's little
flannel skirts, shirts, ETC., in this.
Always wash baby's mouth and gums
every morning with water in which
you have put pinch of borax. 1t
keeps the mouth fresh and sweet, and
prevents that uncomfortable af1iction,
sore mouth, with which so many
poor babies are troubled when their
mouths are not kept perfectly clean.
Borax water is excellent for spong-
ing either silk OF wool goods, that are
not soiled enough to need washing.
In washing cashmere or wool goods,
put little borax in the water. This
will cleanse them much more easily
and better, without injury to the colors.
Do not rub them on board, but use
the hands, and throw on a line without
wringing. Press them on the wrong
side, and they will look almost like
new Good Housekeeping.

Feminine Dress in Japan.

Having been soaped and dried the
Japanese girl takes long strip of cot
ton or silk, according to her taste or
condition, the strip being about eight
cen inches wide and three yards long.
Holding the upper corner of one end
of the cloth just over the left hip she
winds the strip tightly around the loins
and hips. fastening it by tucking the
end corner in the belt so made, says
the San Francisco Chronicle. This
might be called the Japanese corset,
except that. instead of COMPRISING the
waist, it squeezes the lower abdominal
portions and upper hip. When proper
ly put on it makes an almost rigid
bandage, and it is this which gives that
peculiar little shuttle and swing to the
original Yum-Yum's walk, the legs be-
ing really only movable from the knee
down. Most writers have ascribed this
waddle to the wearing of high wooden
clogs, but this is mistake. The men
wear clogs, but they walk as freely as
an Indian.
The kilt, so to speak, having been
adjusted, the japanese girl then slips
on little. loose, sleeveless jacket
again either of cotton or silk-which
comes down to the loin cloth, and over
that blouse or short kimono: then an
other little longer, two or three OF
these, then the kimono, and then the
obi or bow. All these undergarments
and the kimono itself are crossed in
front and are open at the neck. Each
is decorated at the neck with strip of
eolored Grape, and the whole is SO ar
ranged that these strips show one be-
meath the other. Sometimes belle
show half dozen or more of these diff
ferent colored strips, the effect being
quite rainbowish. If the weather is
warm the inner garments are dispensed
with, and the parti-colored silks are
sewed to the inner side of the kinomo in
a number of plaits.
Stockings the japanese woman does
not wear, except those who have adopt
ed the European fashions, while the
shoe is either sandal or a clog. No
matter what the form of the sandal or
clog, the method of attachment is al
ways the same-a soft loop into which
the foot is thrust, with thong to pass
between the great toe and the others.
The sandal (zari) is nearly always
made with straw sole and quilted top,
and is used for indoor wear, while the
clog (gita) is of wood. Their height is
regulated by the tony" aspirations of
the wearer, just as French heels of ex-
cessive height is worn by our own fash
ionable sisters.
1t is in her obi, or sash. however,
that the japanese belle takes her great
est pride. Ordinarily it is tied behind in
a bow about foot square at the back,
resembling cartridge-box in shape.
But there are times when this modest
little bow will not suffice, and there are
ladies who go to excesses in the size of
the obi. 1t is made out of black silk,
folded to be fully a yard wide, and it is
tied in bow whose ends extend fully
three across. Moreover, it is worn in
front and little to the side, and alto
gether is a very stunning affair.

Egyptian Book of the Dead.

The Egyptian Book of the Dead" or
funeral ritual contains probably the
oldest existing record of the faith of
man in the Immortality of the soul.
Its chapters are found inscribed on
z1axzz1azza yzz.aszea xS-zsitto1a 1.e11e- e4
papyrus within them. The book re-
counts the supposed experience of the
soul after death; its passage across the
land of darkness into the blessed fields,
to its final judgment and admission into
the presence of its father in 1.-The eter-
nal dwelling place of the cleansed-
spirit" The following passage from
one of these mummy cases recently ex-
humed shows its express declaration of
a future life: ''The osiris (souD lives
after death. Every god rejoices with
life; the osiris rejoices as the gods. re-
joice." 1t is supposed the ''Book Of the
Dead'' originated with the Egyptians
between 1900 and 5000 years before
Christ. A mummy case from the great
pyramid, inscribed LOO years before
the time of Jesus, has the following in
scription: 30, God, the protector of
him who cries to Thee, he is Thine; let
him have no harm; let him be as one of
Thy flying servants. Thou art he, he
is Thou. Make it well for him in the
and of spirits.

Travel FOR Consumption.

DR.. Henry L. Bowditch has given
the Genealogical association, says the
Popular Science Monthly, an account of
the treatment which seems to have
counteracted a strong tendency to con-
sumption in his own family. In 1908
his father, then 35 years old was un-
doubtedly threatened with consump-
ton. Aug. 90 of that year, when thus
i'll, he started from Salem, Mass, with
friend as his companion and driver,
in an open one-horse chaise, for tour
through New England. The trip lasted
thirty days and covered 74S miles.
During the time he passed from the
deepest mental discouragement and
physical weakness through all stages
of feeling up to a real enjoyment of
life. His journey, though benefiting
him immensely, probably did not who'll
ly cure him, but it proved to him the
physical, open-air exercise. Afterward,
under walks of one and half or two
miles, taken three times daily, all pull
monary troubles disappeared. He
died thirty years after the journey from
carcinoma of the stomach, his lungs
being normal except that one presented
evidences of an ancient cicatrix at its
apex.
He prescribed for his children the
same regular out-of-door exercise
which had been so beneficial to him.
As soon as they were old enough they
were required to take daily morning
walks of about mile and a half. If
at any time they were observed to be
dropping they were taken from school
and sent into the country to have farm
life and out-of-door play to their hearts
content. In consequence of this early
instruction all his descendants have
become thoroughly impressed with the
advantages of daily walking, of sum-
mer vacations in the country, and of
camping out, etc., among the noun
tains. DR.. Bowditch's father had mar
ried his cousin, who, after long in
validism, died of chronic phithisis in
1884. Certainly a consanguineous
union of two consumptives foreboded
nothing but evil. Yet, of their eight
children, six are either now alive or
they arrived at adult age. married, and
have had children and grandchildren,
but not trace of phthisis has ap-
peared in any of these ninety-three
persons.
DR.. Bowditch sees nothing but the
influence of out-of-door life to which
this immunity of his family from con-
sumption can be attributed. He has
prescribed it, under proper precau-
tions, in his practice for years, and
says, in conclusion: 81 have no objec-
tton to drugs, properly chosen, and 1
almost always administer them, but if
the choice were given me to stay in the
house and use medicines, or to live con-
stantly in the open air without them, I
should infinitely prefer the latter course
in case of my being threatened with
pulmonary consumption"

Interior Decorations.

1t is curious what can be done in the
way of interior decorations with home
materials by persons of artistic tastes.
There is a firm of architects in this city
whose income is enormous and who
have very handsome suite of offices.
The walls of their largest and hand
soonest room are covered with ordinary
bagging held in place by wide strips of
cherry molding. There is not person
who enters this Office who is not struck
by the thoroughly appropriate and
artistic effect of this combination.
When the late Cornelius Vanderbilt
built his summer residence at Hartford
at an expense of over 800, 900 the dec
orators covered the walls of his dining
room with ordinary brown paper such
as is used by butchers to wrap meat H.

his MeTEsEES,S SONGS.
BY MES. E. V. WILSON

Beneath the hot midsummer sun
The men had marched all day;
Ard now beside rippling stream
Upon the grass they lay.
Tiring of games and idle jests,
As swept the hours along,
They called to ore who mUsed apart
Come, friend, give Us song -
" 1 fear l cannot please" he said;
THE only songs l know
Are those my mother used 10 sing
For me long years ago"
"Sing one of those rough voice cried.
"There's none but true men here;
To every mothers son Of Us
A mothers songs are dear.''
Then sweetly rose the singers voice
Amid unwonted calm,
IAN 1 a soldier of the Gross.
4 follower of the Lamb?
"And shall fear to own His cause -
The very stream was stilled,
And hearts that never throbbed with fear.
With tender thoughts were filled.
Ended the song; the singer said,
As to his feet he rose.
"Thanks to you all, NY friends. G cd night
God grant us sweet repose.''
Sing US one more, - the Captain begged;
The soldier bent his head.
Then glancipg round with smiling lips.
You'll join with me.' ne said.
wen sing this old familiar air,
Sweet as the bugle call.
All hail the power of Jesus name,
Let angels PROSTATE fall"
All wondrous was the old tunes spell
As on the singer sang;
Man after man fell into line.
And loud the voices rang,
The songs are done. the camp is still,
Naught but the stream is heard;
But ah! the depths of every soul
By those old hymns are stirred.
And up from many bearded lip.
In whispers soft and low.
Rises in prayer the mother taught
The boy long years ago.
