made by the Comptroller of the Cur

and paper in the form of notes, checks,
bills, drafts, etc., were used, and it
appeared that upon particular day

The Household.
Cleaning a Sewing Machine.

1t is necessary that sewing Mach.
inc should be throughly clean and in
good order, for if not, it will tire the
person who is using it, and will not
sew as we'll. When buying machine
the agent tells you it must be oiled
often (say once a week. but even if this
is done it frequently happens that alter
having been in use some time the
machine begins to work hard and often
refuses to work at all. If the operator
understands the machine thoroughly y
and is able to fix it, there will be no
further trouble or there may be man
around the place with some idea of
machinery who will be able to tell you
what is the matter, or, what is better,
fix it himself. If the operator is not
favored in this way it may be necessary
to send it to the city, or down town,
which besides costing at least So 90
is often inconvenient, coming perhaps in
the middle of dress making. All this
trouble may be unnecessary if the
operator uses little common sense and
goes to work in the right way.
Take off the strap and loosen the top.
then take it to the sink, and with a
small paint brush and plenty of kerc
sene oil give the works through
cleaning. This cuts the dried oil.
Then take off the little slide under the
needle-bar, and there generally lies the
trouble. The feeder plays back and
forth in little oblopg pit. This pit
soon gets filled with lint accumulated
from the constant friction of the feeder
teeth upon the goods. Of course
when the feeder cannot move, the
wheel and the whole machinery stops.
1t is easily cleaned by taking eff the
small plate and poking out the dust
with a thin wire. The teeth also
should be cleaned with pin, as they
pull the goods along and are apt to get
full of lint also.

A pretty mantlepiece ornament may

be grown in the same manner, but their
Leaves are not so beautiful as those of

ed once a month, taking care to supply
water of the same warmth bits Of
charcoal added to it will prevent the
water from souring. If the little leaves
turn yellow add one drop of ammonia
into the utensil which holds the water,
and they will renew their luxuriance.

THE END.

There is only one thing that can be
done which shall give to the people Of
this nation that which ever so much
need. viz, pure politics and that is by
right voting. 1t seems to be the "by-
word" in everybodys mouth, that the
whole political arena has become cor
rupt that men Of unscrupulous princi-
pals continue to hold the reins, to make
and interpret laws so that the great
mass of'the people never get that which
they need, are never let out from under
the hammer of unrelenting hardships
and oppression, and yet from year to
year this same oppressed mass go, at
the dictation of these money Office
seekers, to the poles and vote theminto
power to impose the same burdens on
them.
We are not so much surprised that
those who take daily this poison into
their system should vote for those, who,
when elected, will see to it, by the in
ducements held out to them, that the
rum traffic is continued. But how
those who say they want this business
stopped can vote for these men when
there is prohibition vote in the field
is more than we can understand.
The liquor traffic lowers the moral
tone of society. Every saloon is a
breeder of immortality, indecency, and
crime. No immortality is too low or in
decent for the saloon, its vocabulary
consists of profanity, ewdness, and
coarsenesa. The saloon degenerates,
degrades and destroys its patrons, and
indirectly it promotes ignorance, sin,
and suffering in the community. The
drunkard's home is turned into a hell
from which every God given blessing
has been banished. The children of
the victims of strong drink are the
recruits who fill our jails, prisons and
almshouses. If it were possible to
take all the victims Of strong drink
from our prisons and poorhouses, there
would not be enough inmates left to call
the morning roll Temperance Banner

In my opinion, said Sir William
Harcourt in introducing the Local
Option" bill in the House of Commons,
no mere licensing bill will ever go to
the root of this question. You have to
60 great deal deeper than that if you
are to do good, and you must cut to
the quick in this matter. You have
to deal with great national evil. If
you are to strike an efectiye blow at a
great national evil. you must appeal to
the conscience and the voice of the
people to accomplish it. You must
appeal to the great democratic princi.
pei which eve kes the vital energy of the
popular conscience. You cannot trust
an interest so rash as this, you cannot
cope With evils so deeply rooted by
leaving them to the discretion Of
any selected class or any delegated
body.
If you hope to reform the habits or
the morals Of the nation, make your
appeal direct to the conscience of the
people themselves. If the people are
to be reformed they pHst be the
authors of their own reform.

How to Propagate Plants by Layer.

Some plants-the carnation is an
illustration-do not take kindly to prop
agation from cuttings in the hands of
amateur. In such eases, what is called
'layering' can be resorted to. This
consists in taking branch or stalk and
bending it down in such a manner that
"a portion of it at some distance from
cd plant can be inserted in the soil.
This, it will be understood, is to be
done without severing the connection
between the old plant and the branch.
The union of branch and plant is to
be continued until roots have formed
on the branch in sufficient quantity to
make it safe to remove it for an indie
pendent existence. If, at the time the
branch is inserted, it is half broken at
the bend which goes under the soil,
roofing is facilitated, as this break ar
rests the flow Of sap to certain extent,
and this arrest of natural development
or, more properly speaking, natural
action, has tendency to bring about
such conditions as go to the formation
of roots. Shrubs can be rooted in this
way which presistently fail to grow
from cuttings. Do not sever the con.
nection between the old and young
plant until you are sure that roots have
started.
