A GOOD CLEANSING PREPARATION.


A lady called for this mixture at q
drug store: One quart OF deodorized
benzine, one drachm Of sulphuric ether,
one drachm of chloroform, two drachms
of alcohol, and just enough cologne to
make it pleasant. When she had gone,
the clerk remarked to spectator: "Do
you know what she wanted that prepara-
tion forY You would not be far out of
the way il you guessed she was going to
wash some soied gloves. That is one
of the best and cheapest preparations for
cleansing that know Of. You pour a
little of the mixture into clean bowl,
aud wash the gloves in it as you would
wash anything with soap aud water. If
the gloves are of cheap kind, 1t Is best
to dry them on the hand, but fine
cloth, after having been rubbsd to
smooth out the wrinkles, may be hung
on the line to dry like an ordinary gar
ment. The preparation is an excellent
thing to have handy, not only for reju-
venating gloves, but for removing grease
spots from clothing and carpets, aud for
sponging coat collars aud felt hats. The
ladies in this town could save consider
able money by following that ones ex-

WOOD STAIN.

Perhaps you have hardwood floor, or
a floor which you wish to stain so that
it will have the semblance Of natural
wood. A very serviceable, dark, red
dish brown stain Is made by dissolving
one and one-half ounces of permangan-
ate of potash in a gallon of boiling
water. Stir the solution thoroughly with
stick, aud put it down with painters
fiat brush, working rapidly aud with the
grain of the wood. II the stain Is not
dark enough apply another when the
first is dry. Afterward "set" the stain
by rubbing in three coats of linseed oil.
Rub the oil in along with the grain of
The wood aud let each coat become thor
oughly dry. Finally, polish with bees
wax and turpentiue.. Apply with the
flannel and polish with a brush. The
polishing should be repeated once a
week. The floor should be busted daily.

A MorHER's FoRr1rupE TESTED.

1t is doubtful If a mothers fortitude and
endurance can be put TO a stronger test than
TO be obliged to fight single-handed against
starvation, whilst shielding her children
from the brutalities of drunken parent
Such woman hardly ever manifests her
bitter anguish, except, perhaps, to a spirit
ual adviser, who can do little else for her
than counsel patience and resignation. Her
virtue and her suffering are not known 10
the world. Even her own children, whom
the scottish behavior of drunken parent
has prejudiced against all the surroundings
OF home, are soon eager to leave her. They
gladly embrace the first opportunity TO cast
their lot among strangers.
The Catholic Church cannot refuse to give
her hearty support TO movement which is
destined to deliver from misery a numerous
class OF virtuous mothers and their helpless
infants-it is not too late--if the demon of
alcohol has not already buried its crooked
harpy claws in the vitals of society. .--Reu

Frances Willard and DIR. Kccle,

The Womnn's ChrIstinu Temperance
Union lndorscs the Gold Cure tor
Drunkenness.
Miss Frances Z. Willard, President of the
Worlds and National Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, recently drew down a
storm OF criticism and adverse comment
upon berself and the organization she repre-
sents by announcing that the keeley cure
for drunkenness and the opium habit was
being "boomed" by the press for political
purposes. This statement was so manifestly
absurd that the leading journals of the
country ut once denied it in editorials, Civ
ing as proof of its falseness a number of
cases of bahitual inebriety which have un-
doubtedlv been cured by the Kelley Bichlo-
ride of Gold. Miss Willard, who Is careful
to correct mistake when she makes one, has
since investigated the Gold cure, and now
comes forward with letter publicly avow-
ing her faith i'm the Kelley cure, and declnr-
ing her sympathy with the great work being
done 10y it. The Eastern branch of the
Kelley Institute at White Plains, New York,
is coming TO the front with most crafty
ing percentage of cures Of drunkenness and
the drug habit. Men who have frequented
institutions for inebriates for years W .thout
neneht are. almost without exception, cured
of their disease at the White Plains Kelley
Institute, and after the three or four weeks
Of treatment return TO their families with
health fully restored and ambitious to re.
deem the past. The medical profession
which was at first antagonistic to the Gold
cure, has been convinced of its effectiveness
by the good which has been done at White
Plains, and physicians throughout the East
ern States now send their patients to the
institute. Drunkenness is undoubtedly a
disease, and in the Kelley Gold treatment a
remedy has at last been discovered. More
over the cure is effected without restraint or
physical pain, the treatment consisting of a
hypodermic injection of the Bichloride of
Gold, and also the remedy taken internally.
IL seems very simple way out Of a great
evil. The branch at White Plains is under
the direct supervision of the parent house.
The treatment is identical with that admin.

"Few peoples feet are mates," mused
The Broadway shoe dealer yesterday, as
a customer departed.
(which foot is the largest3"
"Tbat depends"
"But how do you managed"
"Oh, easy enough. The difference
isn't great enough to cause any serious
annoyance. However, the latest thing
in the shoe line is intended for just such
cases. 1t is known as the reversible
shoe"
"That's odd"
"Both odd and even. This shoe" :"
added the dealer, "is made with a fat
sole. You will also observe that the
shoe is not turned for the right nor the
left, as in ordinary shoes, but, being alb
solutely straight along the inner edge Of
the sole, may readily be worn on either
foot.
"Sboes of this pattern are belived to
be easier on the feet than the common
article with turned soles. So If your feet
are not mates, as is the case with most
people, you may sleep sound at night
now, for your case has been attended to

AN EXCELLENT WAY TO COOK CABBAGE.

AN EXCELLENT WAY TO COOK CABBAGE.
The following is an excellent way to
cook cabbage: Choose a hrm, nice cab
bage, pick off the outside leaves aud
plunge the cabbage into boiling water,
pressing it down in the center to allow
the water to penetrate and loosen the
leaves. Then place the cabbage on a
meat board and open each leaf gently
until you reach the center, out of which
cut piece about the size Of an egg. Fill
this space where you have cut out the
heart with a mixture of minced cold
meat or chicken, chopped bacon and two
well beaten eggs; bring the nearest
leaves well over to reform the heart aud
fill each space between the leaves with q
thin layer of the mince bringing each
leaf back as nearly as possible to its
original place. Lay two strips of bacon
sidewise over the cabbage and tie it all
around with thick thread so 1t cannot
fall to pieces. Make nice brown gravy
and pour over the cabbage; in this sim
mer the cabbage gently for four hours.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
CLEAR SKIN WATER.

Rain water, il is we'll known, Is the
best cosmetic. A good substitute Is to
let some orange, lemon or cucumber peel
soak in water used to wash the face.
This need not be especially prepared for
every abhtion. Keep a wide-mout uthed bot
tie or jar of it on your toilet stand and
use daily for the face. 1t softens the
skin aud gives a becoming glow, while
BEAUTIFULLY stimulating the action Of the
skin.-Neo York Journal.

DRINK AND THE yArIvE RACES


A member of Naval Lodge of Good Teni-
plas, on board of one of the British naval
vessels on the west coast of Africa in let
ter read at the late anniversary meeting of
the Drink and Native Races Association,
writes
We are out here on the spot, and can see
for ourselves the immense evils arising from
this devilish traffic. In the steamers which
brought us out to the Cape of Good Hope to
join our ships were two missionaries with
cases of Bibles, etc, to bring the glad It'd.
lngs of great Joy unto the poor benighted
heathens. and down in the hold of the same
vessel were 2l00 gallons of Holland gin and
1900 gallons of rum intended for the self
same heathens. Now, my brothers and
sisters, please ask yourselves, What
good is it sending our missionaries TO
enlighten the negro when we allow the
devil and his agents to send out that which
utterly destroys the good they may be en-
abled to dor We seamen, although, as it
were, ON the scene OF battle, are helpless TO
do anything IN this matter except to urge
the poor blacks to abstain from the drink;
but when we speak to them on the subject,
they tell us, white man bring it, white
man drink it, and the black man drink it,,
And black man does drink it and dies in con
sequence. One of the objects for which our
ship is stationed here. is the suppression of
the slave trade. but the ships OF ali sorts that
pass IN and out of the rivers have on boari
that which binds the negroes with worse
chains than those which Wilberforce broke
asunder, which holds them in stronger
bonds than Abraham Lincoln united in
America, and which binds them in slavery
more degrading, more debasing and more
damni ng than any for which the brave men
of the Northern States went TO war with
their Southern brethren to abolish.

Perennial Rive.

The Russian investigators, A. F. Bata-
lin, a naturalist, and member of the I'M
perial Botanic Garden of st. Petersburg,
Russia, and |. F. Kandouroff, a farmer
Of Stavropolsk province, are said to have
made the discovery that unGs, certain
condition. rye becomes a pertnni Il plant,
and also Inat with proper culture several
crops may be harvested in one year. These
conclusions are the result of observations
and experiments extending overa period
of several years. Their importance, if
true, Is obvious. The plant known as
Sici.ian mountain rye grows wild in
Sicily, Spain, Morocco, Greece, Asia
Minor, Persia and the Caucasus, and is
very similar in quality to Russian rye.
True perennial rye has long existed in a

SAD LESSON FROM LEE.

1.-THE Womens Christian Temperance
Union Is very WELL" said a gentleman to
me, "Out women make more drunkards than
their society reforms" 1t was a sweeping
statement and l asked him TO explain.
'Women like their cordials and their tonics"
said he, land alcohol forms an important
part of all of them. They are apt to keep
them on hand, for their stomach's sake and
often intirmities, and mix what they call
harmless M dicine for their husbands or sons
when they come home tired or out of sorts,
so that the liquor habit is formed and the
men go to saloons where they can get
stronger drink. Here is a case in point. I
knew man, honest and capable, a good
husband and father. His wife was weakly.
Very often sho would ask her nurse
and to give some to Jamie if he came in
tired after days work. The habit grew
ON him, he drank stronger liquors business
failed, he neglected his family and they be-
came very poor. His delicate wife would
have suffered from actual want, but an aunt
dying about that time left her $1,000. Her
husband wanted the money to begin business
again, but his wife would not trust him; she
was consumptive, her children might be left
destitute.
"There was stormy scene when he de-
manded the money and she refused, and
partly under the influence of liquor, he
struck her. They separated, and she never
saw him again. Sorrow developed her dis
ease, aud not long before her death, she sent
for me. Il want you to be kind to jamie
said she, 'ior it was my fault that
he took to drink; l see it now.
He did not care for liquor till
l coaxed him to take it. But l did not
dream it was more than medicine Again
and again she would moan in heartbroken
voice, 1T was my fault. Jamie would never
have been a drunkard if had not given him
a taste of lquorP And this sorrow went

my care long. He was taken up in the street
Intoxicated soon after his wife's death, and
being sick in the Jail, had him sent TO the
hospital, where his sorrowful life soon ended.
But If women would be careful about the
brandy in preserves, the wine in sauces, the
pleasant tasting tonics, the little sip before
going TO bed. there would be less drunkenness
among the men, and fewer heartbroken
women to sob out, 4 am to blameP 1T is
my faultF n-PracticaL Farmer.

victimized Reporters.

Among the amusing pranks played by
reporters, the practical joke played on
his colleagues by Peter Finnerty, the
oldtime Parliamentary reporter, remains
one Of the best on record. The special
victim in this case was q reporter named
Morgan O'Sullivan who, feeling too
drowsy during dull debate to keep his
eyes open, asked Finnerty to supply him
with any important speeches made dur
ing his nap, and then went to sleep.
When he awoke, Finnerty gravely in-
formed him that during his nap there
had been an important speech delivered
by Mr.. Wilberforce on the virtues of the
Irish potato. Morgan, never pausing to
think that the subject had a suggestion
of the ludicrous, would not be pacifed
until the speech had been dictated to him
by Finnerty. The speech, entirely Fin
nerty's concoction, made Wilberforce
say: "Had it been my lot to be born and
reared in Ireland, where my food would
have principally consisted of the potato
the most nutritious and salubrious
root-instead of being the poor, infirm,
stunted creature you, sir, and honorable
gentlemen. now behold me, I should have
been tall, stout, athletic man; and able
to carry an enormous weight. l hold
that root to be invaluable, and the man
who first cultivated it in ireland regard
as benefactor of the first magnitude to
his country" Morgan took all this in,
and so delighted was he with the speech
that he gave it to his colleagues, with
the result that next morning every paper
of note Except Finnerty's paper, the
port of Wilberforce's great speech on the
