For bilious collie soda and ginger in hot
water. 1t may be taken freely.
To remove tar rub thoroughly with
clean lard and wash with soap and warm
water.
Nervous spasms are usually relieved by
little salt taken in the mouth and al
lowed to dissolve.
When the eyes are tired and weak, if
they are bathed in slightly saline water
they will soon become soothed.
Bent whalebones can be restored and
used again by simply soaking in water a
few hours and then drying them.
Use Turkish towels for the kitchen as
well as for bath towels; they wear well,
wash easily and requires no ironing.
Heartburn may be relieved almost in
stantly if half a teaspoonful of table salt
be dissolved in wineglassful of cold water
and then drunk.
Sleeplessness caused by too much
blood in the head may be overcome by
applying a cloth wet with cold water to

Make bed comfortables for everyday

A French cook tells us that a piece of
dry bread, tied in bag and placed in
the water while cabbage is boiling, will
prevent the unpleasant odor which usual
ly arises.
Sometimes a vanilla bean is thrown
into the tea pot with the green and black
tea, and after the boiling water is poured
in there is a delicate aroma of vanilla as
well as tea.
Nothing is more soothing for burns or
scalds than to pour the white of an egg
over the injured place. 1t is easily pro
cured and is more cooling than sweet oil
and cotton.
Children need four suits; one for very
best, one for second best, and two for
the wear and tear of every day. To get

economy as a general thing.
BE sure and put your clothes pins in
hot soap suds at least once in two weeks.

be taken out, dried and put away in a
bag, ready for use on next wash day.
Nothing more surely shows good
breeding than refined table manners.
and you can never teach your children
these while habitualIy eating off an oil
cloth table-spread or a slovenly linen
one.
To clean a carpet thoroughly, throw
damp salt upon it and then sweep it
briskly, ana it will be foand that ali the
coloring will be vastly frightened; or if
the carpet has been well swept, go over
it afterward with a clean cloth and clear
salt water, and the result will be almost
as good.

Ancient Embalming.

In view of modern progress in en-
balming, desiccation and other methods
of preserving the dead for an indefinite
time, it is interesting to note that it has
been estimated that more than 400, 900
human mummies We're made in Egypt
from the beginning Of the art of embalm-
ing until its discontinuance in the Sew
enth Century. There were three grades
Of embalming. For preserving his rela-
tive in the most approved style the Egyp-
tian had TO pay Sl225; in the second
grade the operation cost about 1915; the
third method was so cheap as TO be con-
sidered "within the reach of the poorest
citizen, and involved the picking of the
body for some days, and then a boiling in
bitumen. These mummies are devoid of
hair and eyebrows, and are black, heavy,
dry and very hard to break.

THE LANE.

They met adown the green old lane,
As evening stalked with heightened shade
He was a sturdy country swain,
And she a simple rustic maid.
Sang he: 81 thrust my plowshares deep,
Each day, in yonder fields of corn;
Then, wearied with my labor, sleep
TIL cocks crow at the gates of morn"
Sang she: my housewife duties done,
From yon green meadow where they
browse
On clover sweetening in the sun,
homeward drove my gentle cowsn
Quoth he; "And so I've met thee. lass.
which haps not oft on week-a-day;
sometimes to church see thee pass
Dressed in thy Sunday ribbons gay.
Such times, sweet maid I've looked on
thee,
WIN love, from under eyelids shy,
Ialf wondering if thought of me
stirred in thy breast while passing by.
Fair is my cot by yonder stream;
Complete but for a housewives care.
II not to thee too bold it seem
Sweet Mary, | would have thee there.
80 when the morning-glories blow,
oh sunday next, if thoull agree,
together let us churchward 20,
And there, o, let us married be.
NOW let me fetch with thee, pray,
From meadows green, thy errant l,ina.
"oletlines the restless creatures stray
Beyond the pastures boundary line.p
puoth She: "Thy cot is fair indeed-.
But sooth, / know not what TO saw.
Come with me where my cattle feed.
ANA will tell thee by the way"
Across the meadow lands besprent
with daisies open-eyed like stars,
lhey, hand in hand, together went.
And let the cattle through the bars.
Inc cows they wandered down the lane
As evening stalked with heightened shade
while, Tar behind the happy swain
S'rode with the blushing rustic maid
Mayhap there will a wedding be-
when pious folks at church convene
me like of which they seldom see
Down in the heart of country green.

Ana they content, shall rise each morn:
she busy one, TO sew and knead,
And he 10 labor in the corn.

France is going to put on an increased
tax upon strong liquors as a means of
checking their sale as much as possible.
The present Ministry is very much in
earnest in the matter, and means to carry
through the reform while the country is
in good humor over the success of the
exhibition. The Germans will be sufferers
by the taxation if it becomes prohibitive,
for they manufacture most of the liquor
which is drunk by the Belgians, and the
poorer classes in northern France.

CLEAR THE WAY.


Men Of thought, be up and stirring
Night and day;
Sow the seed; withdraw the curtain:
Clear the way;
Men Of action, aid and cheer them
As ye may.
There's a fount about TO stream;
There's a light about TO beam;
There's a warmth about to glow;
There's flower about to blow;
There's midnight blackness changing
Into gray;
Men of thought and men Of action,
Clear the way.
Once the welcome light has broken.
Who shall say,
What the unimagined glories
Of the day;
What the evil that shall perish
In its ray
Aid the dawning, tongue and pen.
Aid it, hopes of honest men;
Aid it, pen, and aid it, type;
Aid it, for the hour is ripe;
And our earnest must not slacken
Into play
Men of thought and men Of action,
Clear the way.

One of the strangest things in India is
the multitude Of deserted capitals There
are three old Delhis, three successive
capitals of the East, all close to each
other, all south of the present city. One
of the three is Tugluckabad, a marvellous
city on the hill, roofess and absolutely
deserted, but solid and gigantic. The
second is Ferozebad, with a handful of
inhabitants. The third is the old Delhi
of Kutub, who was born Turkish slave
and died Emperor of India. His name
still survives in the finest tower in the
world and in the oldest mosque in India.

The feeling between the French and
the Germans loses none of its bitterness
as time rolls on, and it occasionally
crops out in the most unexpected direc-
tions. Upon the occasion of the recent
isit of the German royal party to Con-
Rntinople there was Il large feet of yes
sells of all nations at anchor at Stamboul.
In honor of the event, the ships of every
nation except the French were deckcd
out with all the bunting at their COM
mand. The French vessels were doubly
conspicuous by the entire absence of flags
of any kind in their rigging.

The Other Side of the World.

If we want to find country where
nature has turned things topsy-turyy-
that is, according to our notions-we
must so to Australia. Many things are
reversed in Australia It is summer there
while i: is winter in America. Trees
shed their bari; instead OF their leaves
fruit has the stone or kernel outside;
swans are black; there is species of ay
that kills aud eats the spider, and q fish
called the climbing perch WALKS deliber-
ately out Of the water, and, wf1h the aid
of its fins, climbs the adjacent'trees after
tho insects that infcst them. When to
this We add that most of the birds have
no song and the flowers no odors, it is
easily seen that it is the other side Of the
world in more senses than one.

There are so many makeshifts in these
days that it is well once in the year to
remind housekeepers of the rich, we'll
made pies of the days when people were
less impatient to be through with their
work and took time to do it properly.
The first essential is a good, sweet field
pumpkin, which is better than any squash
for this purpose. Peel it and cut it in
pieces and cook it very slowly for four or
five hours, with only water enough to
prevent its burning. This slow cooking
makes the pumpkin rich and sweet.
When it is done mash it and strain it
through colander, and to two cups of
strained pumpkin add slowly four cups
of boiling hot milk, half teaspoonful of
salt, two tablespoonfuls of ginger, one of
cinnamon, one of mace and half nut
meg. Beat well five eggs; stir them in a
cup of cream and add with sugar enough
to sweeten the whole. Line tin pie
plates with plain pastry, brush it over
with the white of an egg, crimp an
ornamental border of puff paste around
the pie and fill it with the pumpkin
custard. Bake the pies in moderately
hot oven till they are firm in the centre
and brown.-Neto York Tribune.
