A Home Apparatus.

Sterilized milk, in the minds of most
people, is milk so treated as to be of
peculiar value to infants and delicate
children. Steriized milk is valuable
for all household purposes for which
milk is used. Housekeepers who econ
omize are careful about the ice-bills.
In cities and large towns meat can be
brought from the butchers Just in
can be kept down to the point of abso-
lutte necessities; but milk, like water,
must be always on hand. To keep milk
fresh and sweet, even with large refrig-
orators, in extremely hot weather be-
comes problem, and often vexatious
one. The United States government
has become the servant of The house.
hold by experimenting until conven-
lent and cheap apparatus for the steril-
ization of milk has been found. 1t
consists of three-gallon tin pail, in the
bottom of which is placed, upside down,
tin e-plate-perforated On this
are placed small glass bottles in which
is the milk, little more than half fill
ing the jars. The mouth of the jar is
closed with cotton wadding. The six
jars, and one quart jar, if needed, can
be put in the tin pail, with cold water
about one inch above the milk or lit
tie more. The cover is placed tightly
on the pail, and it is placed over the
fire and heated until it has reached 1916
degrees. Before placing on the fire,
dairy thermometer is foated on the
water. When the right temperature
is reached, the pail is taken from the
fire, and the water cooled gradually IN
til it has reached the temperature of
the room, when the milk jars are re-
moved, and set aside until needed.
The whole apparatus will cost about
one dollar. The first essential is abso-
lutte cleanliness. The jars must be
scalded thoroughly before the milk is
put in, and the cotton must be placed
at once in the mouth Of the jars, and
kept in until the milk is used. The
whole theory of sterilization is death to
disease, and every precaution must be
taken to keep the jars free from germs
that may be floating about. Milk ster-
ilized will keep week. The wisdom
of using small jars is that small guam
titles of milk can be used at once, and
the jar scalded out. 1t is not wise to
use small quantities from large bottles,
for, even with care in the act of pour
ing, the dangerous element might be
introduced.-1he Outlook.

The End.

The end draws by fates unseen directed
our paths divergiug tend.
To lives monotonous the unexpected
Comes a friend
While for a moment joyous smiles Of meeting
The gathering shades dispel.
Ave ct Vale." Lo! the ancient greeting.
Hail and FAREWELL
A moment more And sadness follows after
In bursts of keen regret
That put to silence all the happy laughter
WheTewith we met.
The past is dead, the present swiftly fading,
And in the future dwell
Hopes faint and few, our longing glance evading
Hail and farewel
The time has comet Mid alien scenes and faces
g Our lessening lives must lie
And pass henceforh through solitary places
Beneath stormy sky.
Clasp hands, old friend! Against our best endeavo
The ties of memory swell.
Part we as those who part indeed forever,
Hail and farewell! An the Fear Round.

To Remove Finger Marks.

A correspondent writes as follows:

tendent of piano factory remove finger
marks from highly polished rosewood

drop of kerosene, on piece of cotton
flannel, was applied to the spots Ohis

WOman's Kingdom.

Every woman who takes conscience
for her guide has right to feel that
home is peculiarly woman's kingdom.
knowing that all love, all pure thoughts,
all religion and governments, if one
would have them flourish, must have
their roots beneath its altar. Let no
wife who would be loved, honored, and
happy, forget that home duties must
ever stand first No matter what high,
ambitious aspirations may have i'm
pressed her before marriage, or how
high she may be conscious her talents
and influences are capable of reaching,
when that solemn vow is taken that
makes the twain one-for" better or
worse "-before all else she must give
all the energy and love she possesses
to building perfect home, and she
must never lose sight of this high vo-
cation. She must be its mistress, but
never its slave. That she has made it
immaculate in cleanliness and resplen-
dent in beauty is not enough. She
must feed the love and truth which
should unitedly govern it. What power
or dignity can reach higher? What is
the ability to sway large audiences COM
pared with the ability to preside over
home with such skill that husband
and children shall rise up and call her
blessed? To be the ruling spirit in
such a position is more sacred honor
than to rule an empire. "Woman's
rightsl" Has man any higher or more
noble? And when husband and wife
see eye to eye and heart to heart, one
in the interests of home, they have
reached as near perfection as we are
allowed to hope for while on earth.

Blue Hydrangeas.

A writer in the Gardeners Chronicle
says that when the common hydrangeas
ca. HortenSid) are grown in pots,
sulphate OF iron added to the soil at the
rate of one-quarter of pound to one
bushel OF ordinary compost, will give
the desired blue color, and directly the
flower heads show, the plants should
have some alum water given them al
ternately with clear water, at the rate
of one half ounce to one gallon of water.
In supplying the plants with the latter
there must be no lack of attention; the
alum water must be continually sup
piled to the roots.

The Countess of Warwick.

The Countess of Warwick, better known
as Lady Brooke, is admittedly one of the
most brilliant women of modern society.
Her conversation is sparkling and is
mars I'd by freedom from conventionality
which sometimes horrfes the Princess of
Wales. who has inherited all the love of
etiquette of her mother, Queen Louise of
Denmark There are few women in Lon
don whose toilets are more perfect in ev-
cry way and more in harmony with their
wearer than those of the Countess of War
wick. She is one of the best whips in Eng
land and drives four-in-hand handling
the ribbons in a delightful manner.-Pari,

One Stitch.

One stitch dropped the weaver drove
His nimble shuttle to and fro,
In and out, beneath, above,
Till the pattern seems to bud and grow,
As II the fairies had helping been
And the one stitch dropping pulled the ext stitch
out,
And weak place in the fabric stout,
And the perfect pattern was marred for eye
BY the one small stitch that was dropped that day,
One small life in Gods great plan,
How futile 1t seems as the ages roll,
Do what 1t may, strive how it can,
To alter the sweep Of the infinite whoel
A single stitch in an endless web;
drop in the oceans flow and ebb;
But the pattern is rent where the stitch is lost,
Or marred where the tangled threads have crossed;
And each life that fails of the true intent
Mars the perfect plan that its master meant.

The HOUSEHOLD.
Slumber Song.

Come thou drowsy slumber fairy,
Noiseless elfin of the night,
Come to eyes that open tarry-
Draw the fringed curtains white.
Weave about the close-shut windows
Spells that open Fairyland-
Charm away whatever hinders
With the magic Of thy wand.
Through the land of peace and resting,
Where the slumber waters roll,
Every tiny care divesting.
Lead the babys spotless soul.
When again shall come the dawning,
Sleepyland must lose its charms,
Rosy fairies of the morning
Bring the child to mothers arms.

And sadden with the view;
And still, as memory crowds my BRAIN
There's pleasure in 1t too.

Where things decayed and loved ones lost
In dreamy shadows rise,
And, freed from all that's earthly vile.
Seem hallowed, pure, and bright.
Like scenes in some enchanted isle
All bathed in liquid light.
