WASHING FLANNELS.

A knowledge OF the Proper Method IL
important to the Housewife.
1t is important that every woman
should know how the wooden winter
underwear should properly he washed.
and to insist that her laundress should
follow her directions exactly. The
time-honored joke that the fathers

that some Of US can hardly smile at it.

average washerwoman the Atwood fab.

Flannels should be soaked for se,.

addition Of a teaspoonful Of borax to
each gallon OF liquid. The water in
which the woolens are washed must
be warm, but not hot, and to II is added
a large spoonful Of ammonia. A strong

the hanncls are put in and washed at
once. As soon as they are clean they
may be transferred to rinsing water Of
the same temperature MS that from
which they have just been taken. They
should be pressed between the hands
TO remove the superfuous water, but
must never be wrung. II properly
washed they are now white and soft,
and must be hung up at once until al
most dry, when they are rapidly
ironed. In bright sunny weather they
can be dried out Of doors; but II the
weather is damp. so that the process
may be protracted, or II the tempera-
ture is at the freezing point, they are
best kept indoors TO dry. They must
not be allowed to become so dry as TO
require a second dampening. Flannels
thus washed should be so soft and
pliable through two seasons wear as
TO make them amply repay the owner
for the high price such garments cost.

ST. MICHAEL THE WEIGHER,

Stood the tall archangel weighing
All mans dreaming. doing, saying,
All the failure and the pain,
All the triumph and the gain
In the unimagined years,
Full of hopes. more full Of tears
Since old Adams hopeless eyes
Backward searched for paradise,
And, instead, the fame blade saw
OF memorable law.
Waking, beheld him there,
With his fire gold, Pickering hair.
In his binding armor stand,
And the scales were in his hand.
Mighty were they and full well thoy coul
poise both heaven and hell.
"Angel," asked l humbly then,
"Weighest thou the souls OF menf
That thine office is, know
"Nay," he answered me. mot so.
But weigh the hope of man
Since the power Of choice began
In the world, Of good or ill.,"
Then / waited and was still.
In one scale saw him place
All the glories of our race
Cups that lit BelshaZzar' feast,
Gems, the lightning of the east,
kublais scepter, CRsars sword,
Many II poets golden word,
Many n skill of science, vain
To make men as gods again.
In the other scale he threw
Things regardless. outcast, few,
Martyr ash, arena sand,
OF st. Francis cord n strand,
Beechen cups of men whose need
TASTED that the poor might feed.
Disillusions and despairs
OF young saints with grief grayed hairs
Broken hearts that brake for man.
Marvel through my pulses ran
Seeing then the beam divine
Swiftly on this hand decline,
While earth's solendor and renown
Mounted light rs thistle down.

ANOlNTMENT AT CORONATIONS.
A Peculiarly Of the Russian Ceremon
Said to BE Very Important.

A Peculiarly Of the Russian Ceremony
Said to BE Very Important.
1t is not generally known that the rite
of coronation in the Russo-Greek church
agrees with the religious ceremony Of
an English coronation in one very i'm
portant particular or that this resem-
blance distinguishes the coronation serv-
ices Of England and Russia from those
of all other countries.
The identity of ceremonial consists in
the use of the ''holy chrism,'' or
CREAM i'll the anointmcnt of the SOW
ereign. In the Roman rite, at the coro-
nations of the old Cmperors Of Germany
that is to say, of the holy Roman en-
pire, to which Austria, in q sense, has
succceded-not the schism, but the in
ferior oil Of the catechumens. or candi-
dates for baptism, is employed. In the
eastern rite, on the contrary, the chrisIn
is used.
This chrism is understood TO bestow
"a character, to use a theological term,
upon the recipient-in other words. it
imparts certain gifts of the Holy Ghost
not exactly of a saccrdOtal character, for
it is not used in the east for the Ordina-
ton of bishops or priests, but neverthe-
less II special gift from on high, which
is indefeasiblc in him who receives it,
and which, so long as he corresponds
with divine grace, gives him supernat-
ural sacramcntal grace to fulfil the du-
ties of his high office.
This is the meaning Of the words "the
seal of the gift of the Holy Ghost" used
at the confirmation of Il child in the
east Immediately after its baptism, and
the same words are again used wheI
the emperor is again anointed at his cor
onation. 1t is in the case of the emperor
alone that u man is ever anOintcd i'll the
east more than once i'll his life. As al
ready stated, the chrism has never been
used in the conservation of bishops, as
it is in the greater part of the west.
Now it is Il very interesting point to
notice that the only country i'll the world
besides Russia in which at the present
day the sovereign is anointcd with
chrism is England. This used also to be
the case i'll France, but of course the
French monarchy is now thing of the
past. In a learned paper by DE-. Wick
ham Legg n note is quoted from a
pamphlet printed i'll 1919 upon the man
her Of browning the emperor. in which
it is stated that, whereas the kings of
England, France and Jerusalem and
Cicilie" were thus amounted, there were
no fewer than % other kingdoms at that
time in western Europe, including Po-
land, of which the sovereigns We're not
anointed. The kingdom of Jerusalem
and Cicilie" has of course long disap-
peared. London Times.
