To Remove Putty from Sash.

Housekeepers who sometimes at
tempt bit Of amateur glazier work
will be interested in the following
from an exchange: In place of mu-
riatic acid or vitriol, either of which
is occasionally used to decompose
putty in sashes when the ordinary
procedure of hacking out" with a
knife is likely to injure the wood
work, petroleum oil will probably
be used in future. Three coats OF
this oyer the old putty will pene,,
trate efEectually into the pores OF
the material, and by dissolving the
hardened linseed oil the putty soon
regains its original Elasticity. In
about three hours from the apPll-
cation of the first coating OF petfo-
leum it is practicable to cut out the
putty with the point of . knife with
as much ease as though the sash
had only been glazed a day or two

A Texas Story.

The following story was recently
told by a Galveston High School
teacher: At one time there was
visiting in that city the famous Tom
Ochiltree and Mr.. Mackay, the Cal
ifornia millionaire, and the teacher
in question gave out one day "Ogr
Visitors" as the subject for compo-
sition. Among those which were
submitted was one by a bright girl,
which commenced as follows: eve

Her Only Unexposed Part.

And now new one-warranted-
about Mrs. Potter, and which has
come all the way from Australia by
private mail. Cora went to Mel

The latter asked: "Where do you
wish to be vaccinated, Mrs. Potter"
The lovely Cleopatra hung her red

To which came the quick reply,

Complete Self Control.

There are few qualities which lie
so directly within the reach of every
man and woman, because so lmme-
diately the result of education, as
self-control; and yet there are few
qualities which are so generally
lacking. Everybody has certain
amount of self-control, but there
are many people who compensate
themselves for the repression Of
their energies on one side by giving
them full play on another. Self
control means the entire mastery Of
ones nature; means always having
in hand all ones powers; means
sitting ON the box and driving in
stead of being driven. The absence
of self-control is seen in many small
ways: In the unconscious rising of
the tones of voice in earnest talking
in purely nervous gesticulation and
restlessness in the inability to drop
subject when we have gotten
through with it; in irritability, and
that subdued violence shown, not
in outbursts Of temper, but in little
gusts of passion escaping here and
there. These are small things in
themselves, but many of them are
exceedingly irritating and diagree-
able, and they all involve a really
serious result-a loss of nervous
force. The heightened tone of the
voice, the incessant gesticulatlon,
the physical restlessness, are not
only unpleasant, but they involve
Just so much needless expenditure
of a force of which few of us pos
sess a superior abundance. Com
plete self-control is one of the fun
damental qualities in any large and
high success; for complete self
control means that one has ones
self completely in hand and is able
to address ones self exclusively to
whatever is necessary to be done al
the moment. It is great mistake
to infer power from any kind o
violence or restlessness. True power
is allied with composure, with calm
ness, with self-restraint; and rea
; power is manifested in restrain
and composure and not in violence
of speech or action. A man Of ner
vous organization recently said tha
he had gained immense benefit b,
simply watching the modulation
of his voice and persistently resist
ing the inclination to run into higl
tones. He had found not only relic
for the vocal chords, but steadi
ness and calmness of thought an
feeling which made him consciou
of the great blupder of wasting mel
vous strength by suffering the voca
chords to sympathize with an ex
, cited condition rather than keeping
them under steady control. Thi
, is one illustration of the possibilit.
) of overcoming the common form
of nervousness. To 'let ones sci
90" is not only to lose force at
particular point, but to invite a re
action along the whole line of phys
ical expression, and SO to contin
ually stir up and agitate, instead @
continually restraining and calm
: ing. There are great many pee
, pile who lay these minor faults O.
, the shoulders of a nervous temper
ament, and who do not know tina

The Watch as q Compass.

A few days ago l was standing by
an American gentleman, when lex
pressed a wish to know which point
was the north. He at once pulled
out his watch, looked at 1t and
pointed to the north. / asked him
whether he had compass attached
to his watch. Call Watches" he re-
Piled, "are compasses." Then he
explained to me how this was.
Point the hour hand to the sun, and
the south is exactly halfway be-
tween the hour and the figure XII
on the watch. For instance, sup
pose that it is four o'clock. Point
the hand indicating four to the sun,
and II on the watch is exactly
south. Suppose that it is eight
O'Clock, point the hand indicating
eight to the sun, and the figure \
on the watch is due south. My
American friend was quite surprised
that l did not know this. Think
ing that very possibly | was ignor-
ant of a thing that every one else
knew, and happening to meet Mr.
Stanley, / asked that eminent trav.
eler whether he was aware of this
simple mode of discovering the
points of the compass. He said
that he had never heard of it.

ERNEsTINE ROSE.

In the last paper which reached me from
America / see that Mrs. Lille Devereux
Blake has been reyiving the memory of
Ernestine Rose. / wonder how many read
ers know that up t. a year ago this remark
able woman was still living in London. Two
years ago spent an hour with her aud
watched her feed the sparrows, her
daily pensioners and little companions
There was a sick one, she said, that was
always fed by two others 1t was touching
to see this o! g recreation of the solitary aged
woman. Miss Rose was the daughter of a
Jewish rabbi living in Poland. AT the
age of IA she renowned her fathers
religion. After her marriage to William
e. Rose she came to New York and more
than sixty years ago began to lecture for
anti-slavery, religious liberty and woman
suffrage. For her addresses she never made
a charge nor took collection. She was a
logical and impassioned speaker, and even
when saw her, at the age OF rs, and very
iufrm in body, her face bore the stamp of
vigorous intellectual power. l believe she
sent the first petition to the New YORK legis-
iature to give married women the right to
hold property. This was in 1886, and she
told me she obtained five signatures. Her
husbands portrait, during my call, was
hanging near her chair. Her voice was
still sweet and sonorous and her large dark
eyes had lost little of their fire.
