Sweetening Toll.

Women have been forced into the field
of active, paying labor, but there are few
wage earners among women who do not
sweeten remunerative toll with unpaid

But they should understand that while
their attitude is tribute to work it is not

A writer has defined dirt as matter out
of place" This applies with double force to
the grease Of the kitchen, which is too often
allowed to accumulate on the sides of the
sink and on dishes. Properly used this
grease is invaluable in making soap. BY
cutting the grease in the sink and on the
dishes by the use Of some very powerful
alkali like potash or soda, we make sub
stance, which, il not a soap, contains the
component parts of soap, and at once as
sists as a cleansing agent. A keg OF wash
ing soda" should always be on hand near
the sink so that little water with a lump
of soda may be thrown in spiders or grid.

come greasy from cooking. After few
moments boiling all the grease is eaten
up by the slksli, and when the mixture is
thrown down the sink it actually acts as
means of cleansing instead of choking
up the pipe with grease. York Tri-

OPINION AND FAIIH.

According 10 The ChUrchman." the EpSco-
nal Church. of which il is the leading and most
influential organ is the only Christian body in
the United states which, in the first place has
the faith. and in the second place, holds it.
The Church of Rome and the Eastern churches
are tophcavy with forms of thought which arc
growing daily more and more obsolete. Prot
estanti>m is mere drift and is quite rs likely TO
rcnouncc the faith as 10 modify its less inn
portant beliefs. because il knows no difference
between faith and opinion. On the other hand,
the Anglican Communion and It's daughter, the
Episcopal Church, are not drifting from tho
faith though there is in them a universal drift
Of opinion. They alone. therefore are free to
teach the nations the unaltcrable faith which
Christ and Ills Apostles taught in the begin
ming: and therefore, they hold a position 10
which all other churches must at last come.
II might be enough 10 say Of this amazing
claim that it leaves altogether ont of account
an overwhelming array of facts and tendencies
which are to-day shaping Christianity. and that
\ vast majority Of Christians utterly refuse to
acknowledge il. II is indeed true that the
Episcopa Church holds firmly TO its formal
statements Of belief. because they are cn>hrincd
in It's liturgy, and EpiscopaanS have Il strong
objection 10 the modification or revision OF
their liturgy for reasons quito apart from its
truth. They love il because Of the beauty Of
its form its felicity OF expression. It's spiritual
breadth and elevation, and because it is hal
lowed by many ages Of use. and reflects in
noble simplicity the faith and worship Of by
gone days. Hence the strenuous opposition to
even the most trivia! revision Of the liturgy
which has been manifested during the last few
years.
But while the Episcopal Church has been
most conservative in regard 10 it's formulalcS
II has been and is most radical in its thinking.
Men who in its Church Congress will boldly
deny the traditional doctrine OF eternal punish

pal Church is one of the remarkable Sims Of

FNGLAND'S UE1ENESS.

Within the next few days Lord Salisbury will
be called upon to assume definite attitude with
regard to the recent seizure by the British
MaSh0haland expedition of the territory OF
Manica. which has been recognized by inter
national agreement as constituting part Of the
Portuguese possessions in Africa. While the
