How to Determine the Quality oi
Silk.-Take ten fibres of the filling In
any silk, and if on breaking they
show feathery, dry and lack'lustre
condition, discoloring the fingers in
handling, you may at once be sure oi
the presence of dye and artificial
weighing. Or take small portion OF
the fibers between the thumb and
forefinger, and roll them over and
over very gently, and you will sooIl
detect the gum, mineral, soap ano
other ingredients of the one, and the
absence of them in the other. A
simple but effective test Of purity is
to Iburn a small quantity of fibers
Pure silk will instantly crisp, leaving
only pure charcoal heavilydyed
silk will shoulder, leaving a yellow
greasy ash. If, on the contrary, you
can not break the ten strands, ano
they are of natural luster and brill
fancy, and fail to discolor the fingers
at the point Of contract, you may be
we'll assured that you have pure slis
that is honest in its make and durable
in its wear.

A Fffteeu.Minute Rest.

asked woman of society the other
day. "He believed in what is now
called rest cure.' years and years ago
I remember very well formula he
gave ME when / was first married
which was practically the same thing
that every one advocates nowadays
Whenever woman feels tired he
used to say, or discouraged, or depres
sed, or out of sorts generally, she
should lie down and he ahsolut 'ly
quiet for fifteen minutes. The eyes
should be closed, and the mind should
be made a blank. as far as possible.
No pillow should be used, her head
reclining on level with her shoulders
She should not even think of the time,
but have some one call her at the ex'
piration of the time. This treat.

a day, hasa a wonderful effect on ner.

Restlessness That Ruins Homes
Thousands of farmers every year leave
pleasant homes in the older, settled
States and make long and tedious pill
grimages to newer States and Terri
tories, not driven to it by necessity,
but by chronic restlessness-an idea
that it is possible somewhere else to
get on little faster in the world. In
nine cases out of ten the man would
be better oft where he is, but he is
never satisfied until he has made al
least one or two changes. Homes are
destroyed in the most ruthless manner
in persuit of this phantom of better
ing ones self-homes which can never
be really restored to the family, ior
home is something more than the
roof which shelters US. The associa'
tions of childhood, the friends of early
days, the memories of the past, the
ancestral graves upon the hillside
are these nothing? 1t will take more
wears than the most of US can afford,
to build up a new home and get into
the feeling with which we regard our
present one, be it ever so humble.

KITCHEN TALK.
Some Valuable Susgestions for Com.
fort and Cleanliness.

some valuable suggestions for Com.
fort and Cleanliness.
I have often thought that the main
reason why several little conveniences
were not always found in kitchens was
carelessness and no ''forethought,"
rather than from economic ideas.
A small agate soap-dish which can
be fastened on the wall near the kitch-
en- sink is a very necessary convent
ence. 1t can be bought for q few
cents.
A. truly economic article Is "soap-
shaker" It is round and sieve like
and fitted with a cover, and has long
handle. It Is designed to hold small
pieces of soap, and when shaken in
the hot water makes fine suds. With
one of these there is no need Of q care
less wasting Of soap. The price is on
ly ten cents,
A small, durable match safe of iron,
also costing dime, should surely have
its special place in an aspiring or we'll
ordered kitchen.
In a friends new kitchen, among
some practical hints I gathered, was
the need and value of pin-cushion.
This one, fashioned by the dainty
housekeeper, was bag-shaped, of o fine
wine-colored cloth. It had q band Of
velvet, fancy stitched with yellow,
diagonally across one corner, and it
was tied with yellow ribbon.
A twlne-bag is another very necess-
ary article. One can easily be cro-
cheted out of silk. An even prettier
one could be made Of chamois leather
in dark red or gray. A pair of shears
should be suspended from the same
hook.
An oil cloth cover spread for the kit
chen table is very neat, and easily
kept clean. And when used with care
it is not expensive.
A pile of old newspapers should oc-
cupy their particular place coveniently
at hand. These can be used for setting
hot dishes and kettles on.
Wire dish-cloths are very helpful in
washing iron ware.
Square stoves cloths, made of heavy
cotton or linen, are preferable In many
ways to the ordinary holder.
An easy way for an overworked
housewife to keep stove we'll blacked
is to black it thoroughly once week,
then rub it each morning with cloth,
first placing over the hand one Of the
small paper sacks which grocers
use.
Have holder for the towel. There
are various cheap ones which will hold
the towel securely.
Have holland shades on spring rUll-
ers at the window and door.
Sash curtains can be made Of very
simple material. A beautiful old pink
can be found in sateen. They will
serve several purposes-shade the win
dows, give your kitchen neat, cozy
look, and will add delightful bit Of
color to the exterior view of your
home.
A rocking-chair is very useful and
humane addition to q kitchen.
A small rug adds much warmth and
comfort to the kitchen. It rests the
feet to stand on it when one is ironing,
washing dishes, preparing vegetables
etc.
Let light, cleanliness and comfort
reign in your kitchen. Make the oc-
cupant feel that if not an important
member, at least she is very respect
ed and necessary nein your household.

How He was Led.

"In consequence of reading the,
Friend of Peace and other tracts
published by the Massachusetts Peace
Society, became convinced that war
is an evil which ought to be banished
from civilized society, and it is the
duty Of every man to lend helping
hand to bring about 80 desirable an
event. :,
| feel duty which I owe to God aud
nv fellow-creatures, to do something
to hasten the glorious era when men
shall learn war no more which is GER
tainly predicted in the scriptures. but
which must be brought about by Gods
blessing on the exertions of the be-
nevolent. Every individual Ia respon-
sible for his conduct in this respect.
He who does not give his prayers, his
influence, his talents, and If necessary,
purse, tohasten the millennium, fails In
his duty as Christian and man"

Easter Sunday.

CHRIST, the Lord, is risen to-day!
Sons Of men and angels say:
Raise your joys and triumphs hi gh!
Sing ye heavens-thou earth, reply.
Loves redeeming work is done
Fought the fight, the battle won:
Loi the suns eclipse Is DER;
Lo! he sets In Hood no more.
Vain the stone, the watch, The seal
Christ hath burst the gates OF hell:
Death in vain iorbids his rise:
Christ hath opened paradise.
Lives again our glorious King!
"Where, 0 death, is now thy sting?
Once he died our souls TO save:
Where's thy vict'ry, boasting graVe"'
Soar we now where Christ has led,
Foil'wing our exalted Head:
Made like him. like him we rise

Strange that 80 many warnings are
unheeded. A minister in Brldgeton.

chlOral habit, and compelled to resign
his charge. He says physician re.
commended it to him, but il so gained
the mastery over him as to affect his
actions. Such things always will

of. have had many cases of violent
colds, resulting serious y, which could
be directly traced to this cause. The
neck is one of the most sensitive por.
tions of the human body; hence it
needs particular attention"
The Herald of Gospel Liberty has a
column of "Don'ts'' for the minister.
Among others it says: "Don't culti-
vate the ministerial drawl. If the
holy tone' gets fixed with you, there
is little hope for you. Ten legions OF
angels could not make you acceptable

We may not be able to win friends

ought to be able to be friend unfail-
ingly. Friendship consists in loving
rather than in being loved, and the
measure of our worth in friendship is
in our faithfulness as friends.
Some one sent TO Luther to know
whether it was lawful to use warm
water in baptism. Luther replied
"Tell the blockhead that water, warm
or cold, is water"
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do,
do it with thy might; for there Is no
work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor
wisdom, in the grave, whittier thou

Degrees I'm Church Membership.

The difference between the members
in a Christian church was lately il
lustrated by an account of gentleman
who in the north of England was puz-
zled as he was getting into an omnibus
by seeing that there were first, second,
and third class compartments, differ
ence in fare, but with no apparent diff
ference in comfort. The mystery was
presently solved when, coming to a
Steep hill, the conductor called out,
"First-class passengers, keep you seats;
second.class passengers, get out and
walk; third. class passengers, get out
and shove" We need members will
ing to be third-class passengers.

Undoubtedly the brain is strong, and
is capable of doing q great deal OF
work and even ia many cases OF ie-
sisting the bad treatment to which it
is often subjected, says DR.. William
A. Hammond, the eminent New York
physician. 1t is the undue exercise OF
the emotions that breaks it down, and
unfortunately the work of the present
day can scarcely be accomplished
without some one or more of the
emotions being brought into inordi-
nate action, and, according to my ex-
perience, the emotions that affects it
most injuriously is anxiety. At one
period of the worlds history love
stood pre-. eminent in this respect, but
in our day love has had to retire be-
fore that emotion, anxiety, which is
developed in the constant struggle for
wealth and fame and position, in
which civilized man is engaged.
