1T KILLS LICE ON PLANTS AND
ANIMALS.

Prof. A. J. Cook, of the Michigan Agri-
cultural College, says the following kero-
sene emulsion is sure death to all kinds Of
lice and animals:
dissolve in two quarts of water one
quart of soft soap or one-fourth pound of
hard soap, by heating to the boiling point,
then add one pint of kerosene oil and stir
violently for from three to five minutes.
This agitation must be violent, so as TO
make the mixture permanent, but need not
be continued a long time. Dilute this
mixture with an equal part of water, when
applied. This for plants. For the lice,
scrub the animals with the emulsion d.
luted with one-half its bulk of water. We
use a brush, and do it thoroughly. The
cost for a full-grown COW is not more than
five cents and five minutes of time. 1t
kills nits as well as lice, and seems to
brighten the hair.

CHARITY

"The history of charity is the history of
civilization. The broader the stream of
culture flows, tie wider do the waters of
love permeate the soil of humanity. The
brighter the sun of intelligence shines, The
more do its viyifying rays develop the
purest flowers Of sympathy and beneyo-
lence.
Humanity has at last realized the truth
that, though men differ in creed and belief,
al bottom mankind is one, children of the
same God, heirs to the same immortality.
More potent than the voice of any partic-
ular creed is the voice of love, bidding men
stand together in this battle of life, COM
manding the strong to help the weak, the
rich TO offer from their treasures to the
poor.
"The highest duty that MAJ owes to
man is charity. Selishness has ever been
the destroyer of civilization, the b~itterest
foe of man. sympathy is the creator of
life's grandest virtues, the builder of
mans greatest happiness. "-Ra3bi Gross
man in american HebreD.

WHAT WISE WOMAN SAYS.

That orris root has 2 sweeter and more
permanent fragrance thar any other
perfume powder.
That nothing is SO beneficial to the com
plexion as a bath in cream every night while
you stay in the country. leaving it to dry on
the face, and for a nightcap a big glass of
rich country milk taken just before you go
to sleep.
That your diamonds should be washed
in boiling hot suds, rinsed in cold water
clouded with ammonia, and dried in
jewellers sawdust.
That almond meal is better for the face
than any soap except CASTLE.
That the woman who never complains
gets ten times as much sympathy in her
trials as the woman who frets about every
thing, from the shoes that don't fit
her feet to the husband that dies and
leaves her penniless.
That your dress waists hold their shapes
better IL folded away in a drawer, and are
delicious to wear If they are wrapped in
perfumed covers.
That the woman of TO day worries more
over the shape of the seams in her bodice
than over her souls salvation.
That the useful girl never gets married
because she can't be spared.

EXCELLENT HOUSEHOLD RECIPES

To relieve a sore throat.-Roast a lemon
slowly until it is thoroughly done-soft
but not broken. Cut a hole in the top while
hot, fill it with graduated sugar and eat
just before going to bed, for h-oarseness or
sore throat. The effect is to induce gentle
perspiration aud to ''cut' the tough mucus
that alters the voice. Fer a tickling
cough a good simple remedy is to make a
sirup Of equal parts oflemon juice, brandy
and good pure glyeerine: take a teaspoon
full frequently.
Hot lemonade is very good for a cold.
1t is considered By many physicians better
to use hot drinks rather than cold ard hot
lemonade is really very nice and refreshing.
Hot milk is particularly good when one is
very tired or sleep.ess: it is both soothing
and stimulating. If hot milk is not relish
ed add a small Of cocoa. A raw
egg beaten up in q glass of lemonade is a
nice change and is often relished by those
who fnd it difficult to take enough solid
food. Fresh eggs beaten up in milk are
greatly liked By some children, and ma
a valuable addition to a chil0's food.

Youth and Age.

When all the world is young. lad, and all the
trees are green.
And every goose a sSan, lad, and every lass a
queen;
Then hey for boot and horse, lad, and ride the
world away;
Young blood must have its course. lad. and
every dog his day.
When all the world is old, lad. and all the trees
are brown,
And all the sport is stale, lad. and all the
wheels run down,
Creep home and take thy place there, thy early
friends among:
God grant you find one face there you loved
when all was young.

ARCH BEACON FARRAR ON
REVELATIONS.

"No II has done more than the ortho-
dox Christian scholar. Archdeaeon Fsrrar,
to prove that the strange predictions OF the
book Of Revelations, from which, il large
measure, the Adyentists have drawn their
arguments and illustrations. referred only
To the career of the Christian Church under
the reign of Nero. The accepted conclu-
sion of scholars, since the publication OF
Farrar's book. is that the apooaiyptic
writing with which the New Testament
ends was a kind of cabalistic document,
designed for a circulation among the
churches to encourage them for the future
by the use of figures and references which
they and not their enemies would under
stand."-Nec York Commercial Gcrette.

With it. In ten minutes the rose bugs had

HOW TO BRUsH TIL HAIR

"There is a proper way and an improper
way to brush the hair, as to do anything
else said q well known haiTdresser the
other day. ''The proper way is not to
brush it lengthw:se, bat TO hold the ends Of
the hair, if it is long enough, and simply
scrub the scalp with the brush. This pro-
cess promotes the circulation of the blood
and excifes the oil glands to action. After
the hair has been thoroughly brushed in
this way it should be then finished with a
few vigorous strokes lengthw ise OF the

The Dignity of Death.


Here lies a common man. His horny hands,
Crossed. meekly as q maids, upon his breast,
Show marks of toll. and by his general dress
You judge him to have been an artisan.
Doubtless, could all his life be written out,
The story would not thrill, nor start a tear.
He worked. laughed, loved and suffered in his
time,
And now rests peacefully, with upturned face
Whose look bellies all struggle in the past
A homely tale; yet, trust me, l have seen
The greatest of the earth go stately by.
While shouting multitudes beset the way
With less of awe. The gap between a king
And me, q nameless gazer in the crowd,
Seemed not SO wide as that which stretches
now
Betwixt us two-this dead one and myself.
Untitled. dumba and deedless, yet he is
TRANSPORTED by q touch from out the skies
Until he wears, with all unconscious grace,
The strange and sudden Dignity Of Death

TOPICS OF THE MOMENT.

Girls who engage in typewritiDg, like
those who take TO school teaching or to
playing the part of salesweman. do SO with
the mental proviso that they will pursue
either Of the vacations until some clever
fellow comes along aud asks them to wed.
In New York they have an organization
composed of women stenographers and
typewriters. 1t is in trouble, because most
OF the typewriters are going to be married,
and in such an event will, of course. ever
tier connection with the association.
From this it is to be inferred that the
matrimonial chances Of pretty fngerers of
the typewriting machine are decidedly
better than those of the schoolmarm or the
saleslady. If that idea gets abroad type
writing will become more popular than
ever.
The best way devised to dress an infant
Is in four garments. as follows: A pinning
band, which does net pin butties; a diaper
with an outside protection; a wooden pin
ming blanket, tied also, and over these a
gown, open in front-a perfect gown. if
baby's own views were expressed. with
cores under the arm to insure against bind
ing seams, and in every other way devised
for use and not for hindrance. These gar
ments are SO made that they can all be
laid upon the lap before the child is taken
into the arms, when he is gently laid into
them, and without turning him over they
are put on. In them baby's body can
have the free play necessary TO healthy
growth; he will not nave to sta.4d on his
head while his undergarment is being
changed, and when he wants to kick these
skirts will not hopelessly bind him down.
The proper furniture of the bath room
is very often neglected, and it is even made
a sort Of stowaway room in some families.
A dainty w~ell.ftted weil-made bath room
is a very desirable acquisition to a house.
The walls should be either painted or fin
ished with a border of thing as high as a
wainscotipg. The fool may be either tiled
or furnished in hard-oiled or sbellaced
wood. A comfortable rug should be
placed before the bathtub. The new bath
tubs which are not boxed in and are lined
with porcelain are no longer a matter of
luxury, but add SO little to the expense in
house-buiiding that they should certainly
be preferred to a zinc tub. 1t IS a pleasant
thing to have blooming plants ia tie bath
room at the window. Abundance of brass
or wooden towel racks should be placed
where it is convenient to have them
