Mr. WRIGHT ON BROTHERHOOD.

Claude Fails Wright lectured yesterday morning IN
Chickerng Hall. Fifth-ave. and Eighteenth-st. on
"Brotherhood He referred to brotherhood as be-
ing the great object Of the theosophcal movement,
but said that tho Theosophcal Society had no
fanatical notions this subject. but rather took
views in accordance with science and common sense
-"Rrotherhood" said Mr.. Wright, does not mean
IN the views OF Theoosophists that should shake
the hand of everybody that he meets. or that one
should go Summing every day In order to keep up
bis record of fraternity 1t does not mean that one
should divide his inheritance with all the world.
does 1t mean that men should work for the poor and
hurt the RICH The theosophical view means that
each man should take large view OF the world and
rnrard all men as types OF spiritual possibility.
All men are inclined TO believe their nation the
on,v one which is worthy of recognition. This is
sorry view of life and Is based on egotism The fact
"a ail nations are fundamentally similar and the
univ country which can be considered to be above
othcrs is that where there Is least legislation and
most freedom Religions are the great barriers
sra,nst real brotherhood among men, Whatever
reiirion q man has inherited. that one alone ne VIII
believe Moreover he thinks that all otner rengons
viii drive him into hell This has been inc cause
OF most OF the troubles Of the past
"Brothcrhood is for all men and can only pe ieS-

The corner of the fiowery land,
The ancient garden where we met,
My hand that trembled in your hand?
orr lips found words scarce sweet enough,
As low beneath the willow trees
We sat: have you forgotten, love?
DO You remember, love Louise?
Marie. have you forgotten vet
The loving barter that we made?
The rings we changed, the suns that set,
The woods fulfilled with sun and shade ?
The fountains that were musical.

Marie, have you forgotten ali?
do you remember, love Marie?
Christine, do you remember vet
Your room with scents and roses CAV?
MY Sarret-near the sky twas set
The April hours, the nights of Nav?
The clear, calm nights-the stars above
That whispered they We're fairest seen
Through no cloud veil? Remember. love.
DO you remember. love Christine?
Louise Is dead, and. well-a-day!
Marie a sadder path has ta'en.

IN southern suns to bloom again
Alas! for one and all of us

Our bower of love is ruinous
End alone remember vet.

They make better busters for polished
wood than anything one can buy. An
old white silk handkerchief folded
smoothly and laid over a sore caused by
lying in bed has been known to give re-
lief and heal il when nothing else would.
An English ladies' maid always used "a
soft silk handkerchief for stroking her
mistress,s hair, using it night and morn
ing In place Of brush, and with excel
lent results.
A thermometer intended to be fastened
upon the oven door is one of the most
useful of articles to the cook. With tnis
the heat of the oven can be determined
without opening the door, and the bak-
ing of cakes; puddinSs. and souffies can
bc accomplished much more successfully.
To color woollen goods black use one
ounce of extract of loSwood and half an
ounce of blue vitriol for each pound of
cloth. Put. the. vitriol in water enough
to cover the cloth and when they are
thoroughly mixed put in the cloth and
let it scald twenty minutes. Then take
the cloth out and throw it into clear
water. Put the logwood into vessel
with sufficient water for the goods, press
the water from the cloth and put ii into
the loswood water and scald it thirty
minutes. Then take out the cloth AMI
air well. Meanwhile put the vitriol water
into the vessel with the lcgwood and
again put in the cloth and scald it fifteen
minutes longer. This will prevent tn"
goods when pressed from rubbing off.
1t will be of interest to housewives to
know that celebrated foreign physicians
are recommending the marrow bone for
a strengthening diet and tonic. The mar
row bone is served upon a piece of hot
dry toast. When it is to be eaten the
marrow is taken out and spread upon the
toast. Ii is also served upon small pOr
tions of fillet of beef, ana in this manner
is considered IA desirable course for lun-
cheon parties.
