CLEAN FEATHERS IN LIME WATER.
A new and satisfactory wny to clean
white hat feathers is to dip them in
lime water. Make the solution quite
thick and allow the plumes to remain
in the wash for some time. When
thoroughly soaked, lift them gently
out Of the bath SO the mixture will
partially adhere. Next lay the feath.
ers on n rough cloth, letting them re.
main until dry. Then shake thor
oughly and softly beat against the
cloth until all the particles of dry
lime have fallen off. A sun bath of o
few minutes will restore their fresh
ness, and the usual amateur process of
holding them over steam to regain the
curl will result in their being almost
as good as new.
In curling feathers with steel, it
should be remembered that only the
blunt side of the instrument should be
used.
A wise recipe to follow in preparing
feathers for beds is this: Water is
saturated with quicklime; the feathers
are we'll stepped and stirred for three
or four days; they are taken out,
drained and washed in clean water,
dried on nets or dry cloth, shaken oc.
casionally while drying, and finally
beaten to expel any dust. This is for
amateur treatment; the most efficient
method is to have them steamed by
machine.
To dye white or cream feathers it
will be found that they take easily to
all dyeing materials. Safilower and
lemon for rose color or pink, Brazil
wood for deep red, Brazil wood and
cudbear for crimson, indigo for blue
and weld for yellow. 1t is safest to
bleach them before dying. The man.
ner of treatment is the same as that

American missionary societies. IL Is
the first time in the present century, and
therefore in the history OF modern
missions, that such letter has been
issued by the representatives OF the
missionary societies of all denomina-
tions. The letter urges self-suppor,
for the sake of the missionary churches
themselves, for the sake OF the pagans
not yet gathered into the mission
airy churches and for the sake of the
hundreds of millions of men and wo-
men to whom no missionary has been
sent, no Bible has been given, and
among whom no church has been
formed.
The committee say: "Our great de-
sire is to see in every land, not an
American church or foreign
church OF any sort, but church
native to the soil. We feel that We must
more and more withdraw from response
bility for established work to "A relation
of simple cooperation in church extern
sion and education. The gifts Of Christ
ian lands ought not much longer to
be bestowed on the regions already
visited"
1t will be seen that, so far as this let
ter induces missionary churches to at
tain self-support, millions of dollars
spent annually will be gradually trans
ferred from old to new communities
and from evangelical to unevangelized
heathendom.
The missionary societies and commit
tees have found that the banner missions
of the world in the matter of self
support are the Burma missions of the
Baptist Missionary Union, with up
ward OF 800 native self-supporting
churches and s3 paying more than half
of their pastors salaries and church
expenses. The deductions from such
returns as these from Burma would
naturally be that self-supporting
churches are possible in all mission
fields, as the Burmese cannot be con-
sidered, of all people, either the most
industrious or pecuniarily affiuent. The
banner missions of the American board
in this particular are the missions in
Turkey.
The older and more elevated classes
of the Jaffna Mission of the American
board, begun in 1915, have, out of 16
churches, nine entirely self-supporting
and the other seven more than half SO.
Next to this stands the Madura Mission
of the American board in India, with II
self-supporting churches.

SELF SUPPORTING MISSIONARIES

In February last meeting of the
officers and representatives Of foreign
mission boards and societies in the
United States aud Canada was held in
the Church Missions House, Fourth
avenue and Tive nty-secon street, New
York. The principal object was to find
out in the different foreign missionary
fields just what the churches which
had reached a comparatively organized
state were doing for themselves in the
matter Of paying their pastors salaries
and incidental expenses as well as for
education in mission schools.
A committee was appointed to draft
joint circular letter to be sent TO the
missions in all lands of the 30 American
foreign missionary societies, two OF the
oldest Of which are the American
Board and the Baptist Foreign Mis-
sionary Union, both of Boston. The
committee consisted of Rev. JupsoS
SMITH, ID. d., secretary Of the American
board. as chairman; Rev. SAMUEL w.
DUNCAN. ID. d., of the Baptist board,
Boston; Rev. S. L. BALDWIN, ID. d.. Of
the Methodist board; Rev. Henry N.
COBB Of the Reform Church board. aud
Mpssrs n. HEYRY GKKyT and WILLIAM
DULLES, Jr., OF the Presbyterian board,
New York.
This committee has drafted the letter
and is about to send it, urging self
support upon every foreign missionary
church that is receiving aid from the
