TO CLEAN FINE LACE.
Thread Carvings Can Be Cleaned At
Home En- SiIY md We'll.

AS lace has never been more fashionable
than at present, few hints in regard to
cleansing it may not come amiss. Many per-
sons find after washing it once that it has
lost its beauty. Probably the principal rea-
son why their lace does not look well after
their cleaning process is that they have
rubbed it, and the one thing to remember
in cleaning lace is to avoid rubbing it. The
best way to do is to obtain a bottle or round
stick, or some other round smooth article,
and round it to roll the lace, dampening it
slightly as you do so. This will stretch it
and make it smooth. Leave it on the bottle,
whatever you may use, until it is quite
dry, then take il off and ley it in folds of five
or six inches long. The best plan is to tack
the lace, so to be quite sure that the

MOONLIGHT ON THE uNcANooNUEs,

How soft the moonlight falls upon each crest
OF our loved mountainsi In a Iimpid sheen
OF silvered gold they lie and seem to dream
Like tired children their mothers breast
The kingly pines uplift their emerald crowns
The beech leaves rustic in the fitful gale;
The swaying branches cross each moonlit dale
And while L muse a foXs shrill bark sounds
Within the woods and slowly dies away.
All. this is night and such a night as this
Thrilled by the rapture of the moons soft kiss
1t almost seems as glorious day.
Our mountains dream; the mooniights mellow
bliss
Fades out and morning streaks the sky with
gray.

A GOOD FIGHTER
The signature of o. w. Underwood, a
Democrat of the Ninth Alabama Dis
trict, was next on the list, and the
graphologist wrote this beneath it:
'Dogged and determined. Has scorch-
ing lighting qualities and will keep the
fight up to the last gasp. Is clear-headed,
and when he believes he is right is very
difficult to change. Is not content. to

H. H. Atwood, a Republican of the
Tenth District of Massachusetts,. was
shown up by his signature in this way:

friends. Would make a first-class dipio-
mat, as he knows how to smooth out the
wrinkles in rough places when they are
met with. Is studious and a hard work
err Is almost too ambitious and may

self-confident."
David G. Colson, a Republican of the
Eleventh Kentucky District was treated
in this wise:
"A matter-of-fact man, who speaks to
the point. Is conscientious and straight
forward Intrigue has no fascination for
him. Has faith in human nature and
might be the victim of clever schemers

CLEVER BUSINESS MAN
Henry c. Brewster, of the Thirty-first
New York District. a Republican, was
pictured in this way:
"A better business man than politician.

possesses a broad range of inforrna ton.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

No joy is in itself complete,
But from the past future borroTs:
No day is altogether sweet
IT'S made up both of joys and sorrows.
No flower blooms for self alone,
No wave but has another near it,
And echo but repeats the tone
That some listening ear may hear 1t.
Like circles made by ripping waves.
The limits of our lives are rounded
By the heartbeats of those We love
Our happiness on theirs is founded.
Without Gods grace naught has the soul

TIL Love rounds out the perfect Whole
And fills 1t full of Strength and Sweetness.

LOVES KISS.

Alan kissed me! All the weary
Years of waiting rolled away
As the silvery mists of morning
Flee before the Frightening day.
Though the SHOWS of time have sifted
Tricky Ger my tresses dark,
To my heart that kiss brought springtime-5
Scent of violet, song of lark.
Alan kissed mel All my lifetime's
Cup of bitterness and gall
Turned to nectar. as the water
Turned to wine in Cana's hall
At the touch Of Love incarnate
Love transformed life's barren sands
To the plains of deathless verdure
Where the Holy City stands.
Alan. though Deaths seal had frozen
Welcoming lip and eye and heart
At your kiss the spell would vanish
Close the doors flung wide apart.

Glove, and Love alone, is true)
From the life immortal dawning

In this put the lace and let it soak, squeez-
ing :, gently every now and then, until all
the dirt is out. If the lace is very much
soiled it may be necessary to change the
water When it seems quite clean, take
it out of the water, press it so as to get rid
of some of the water and put it to dry in
the SIN. Then lay it fiat on the palm of one
hand and slap it hard with the other eev-
eral times. The stitches may then be cut
out and the lace refolded in different

EXCITING
CROW THE TYPEWRITER AND BI
 CYCLE CONTESTS.
Miss Anna Lawton and Dave Berlin sti!' su the Lead, with Painfully
 Close Seconds.

Interest intensifies in the GRAPH1C's Typewriter and Bicycle contests. As the time draws nearer, day by day, for the awarding of these two valuable prizes to the respective win ners in the two Contests, the candi- dates and their friends become more jealous and anxious. No ole is sui ficiently in the lead in either contest to feel the slightest sensation of safety. A few hundIed or d thous- and votes in the end may change the result, hence the candidates are speculating, and each wondering what the other is doing or may do.
 The surprise of this week s voting is that Miss Carrie Greenfield, who was fourth last week, takes the sec ond place this week for the $100 Monarch wheel. and is only q little over one hundred votes behind Mas ter Dave Berlin. who has led from the beginning of the contest. Miss Bab McGehee retains her position as third ia the race, and is nearly three hundred votes behind the leadef-but then that's not very much after all.
 The relative position of the candi- dates for the Smith Premier type writer is practically unchanged, but Miss May Hudson has gained won- derfully. having almost doubled her vote of last week. Miss Anna Law ton continues to lead in the contest, while Mir. Geo. Valiant, jr., holds on to the second place by narrow margin.
 During the last week of the contest the vote will be announced each day.
 The following is the result of the vote last week up to $ o'clock last evening:

in the life of the teachings of Christ that conflicts with those of Buddha. You will find a very striking simi- larity in their teachings. Buddha preceded Christ by 800 years. and if Christ was not familiar with his writ tings-it is entirely possible that He might have been-there is u most remarkable parallel in their lives, the channels of their thought and their code of morals.

"It is serious question whether your morals are any better than ours.

Suppose our emperor should be induced to ac- cept Christianity as a national re- ligion, as some of yours missionaries have suggested he might do, and be- fore doing so he should send a con- mission to the great Christian na- tions to ascertain what effect your religion has had upon the morals of your people.

aFhe development of the religious instinct to which I have referred is like the development ofart. literature and industry. 1t follows an evolu- tion as civilization advances and the human mind acquires culture. The African savage who worships a fetich is inspired by the same motive, and is just as sincere as the pope when he says mass in St. Peter's. The only difference is in the degree of civilization acquired by the wor- in the same condition in regard to intelligence as the Buddhist believers are now. Perhaps it was worse than we ever were, because our priests have always taught peace and love. while millions of innocent persons have been sacrificed in sup porting theological controversies in the Christian church. I believe a long and bloody war was once Tough, to decide whether the sign of the cross. should be made with three fingnres or two, and if I am not mis- taken the good puritans who settled your.Qwn country believed in witch chraft, and not many years ago were burning people who were supposed to be possessed of the devil. You do not believe in witchcraft now. Our people do. You have advanced be- yond that point. We have not but are approaching it, and, as we are educated, what you consider absurd and ridiculous ceremonies at our temples by the poor and ignorant will be abandoned for more intel ligent form of worship. Your peo- pie had similar ceremonies when they were in our stage of civilization, and our people will act more rationally when we become as highly educated as you are.

s'I do not understand your doctrine of the atonment never could un- derstandit it. Itdoes not seem logical. I cannot see how the blood of one good man can, as you say, wash away the sins of multitudes of mill lions of others who have the same intelligence and the same opportu- mites to practice good morals and live sinless lives, but have neglected to do so. What is the use of a man being good if the blood of Christ is sufficient to save him from the pen atty of sins. All hehas to do is to be as wicked as he likes up to certain period when the termination of his life is approaching, then repent of his evil ways and accept what has cost him nothing. It. does not seem fair to those who have lived correct lives and done great good at the cost of years of labor and suffering and self-denial to have some, rascally fel- low share the same blessings, just be cause Christ was crueified.. .Stin, that is one of the many points of theol- ogy upon which Christians differ, and I may be pardoned for not under standing it.
 ssI believe also in the holy Catholic church-that is d church universal, a religion that may be applied to all men, and under those who shelter all suffering souls can find rest. pre-. sume that is what it means. And believe in the communion of saints that is the intercourse of the spirits of the dead and in the life everlast- ing'-that is the immortality of the soul.
 sThe great Creator implanted in the breast of every man an instinct which leads him to worship a Su- preme Being which may be called by any name. The term does not effect the existance nor the omnipotent power that belongs to such Being, but the instinct is ever present and unerring like that which leads the fish to swim and the birds to fly Without it man would be deformed. This instinct has develop among mankind into what we call religion, and that development has been gov Lerned by local conditions, customs and habits. For example, the peo. pie of the desert worship waters which represents to them the source of life, their greatest blessing. Other people worship the sun for similar reason. Different forms and cere- monies.have become attached to these religions, and are practiced by be lievers, but they are simply the ex' pressions of religious emotions and not an integral part of the religion itself.

Nor do we worship idols. Your missionaries have misrepresented Buddhism in this respect ever since they first saw our form of worship. The image is nothing of itself--a block of wood or an ordinary stone would answer the same purpose but it is symbol of an invisible be- ing, sometimes beautiful and some times rude, according to the art and intelligence of the man who makes it. It represents the object of our worship, just like your cross and the image of Christ and the Virgin Mary. We have no image to represent our Supreme Being. We cannot conceive what He looks like But we have representations, more or less rude, of our deities, just as a Catholic church has pictures of it's saints, and we dedicate our temples to this or that deity just as your churches are dedi- cated to St. Paul, St. John aud St, Tomas,
 Il believe, generally speaking in the Mosaic account of the creation. It corresponds with our own theory of the orgin of things. There is simi- larity in all theories of the creation of the world, which differs more or less as the people who entertain them are ignorant or intelligent. They are as about as near each other as the same story would be told to men of different races and accustomed to different habits of thought and ex- pression. ''
