be due to the fact that ''Nic" has

ner that fully explained the work and In.
spired the hearers.
Saturday afternoon, the ladies OF the
local union and the wives OF the city pas
tors, mel Mrs. Denny socially ct the Metho.
dist parsonage. This little informal affair
was enjoy ed by all present and the guest
| of honor expressed herself as particularly
pleased.
Sunday afternoon, the Methodist church
was almost filed with children and also
grown people and Mr.. Denny spoke a
short time to the children. But last even.
ing, al the Baptist church, was evidenced
Mrs. Denny's ability as . speaker, both Ia

good, in more ways than one and espe-
cially to the cause Of temperance.

Starch Polish.

Laundresses, housekeepers and men who
are particular about the looks of their
linen, have been more or less worried be-
cause they could not secure the high luster
and finish to their collars and cuffs. A
scientist has put his wits at work to pre-
pare compound that will give the de-
sired finish without injury to the articles
on which it is employed. The results Of
this research are herewith given: Heat
together 80 parts of spermaceti, 90 parts
of gum arabic, 80 parts of borax, 120 parts
Of glycerine and $50 parts Of rain or dis
titled water, with constant stirring until
complete solution is achieved. Let cool
and fiji into suitable bottles, which must
be thoroughly stoppered. Directions: Take
an ounce of good starch and add just
enough cold water To make paste, care
fully rubbing with II spoon until all Jumps
are broken down. To IL pint Of boiling
water add tablespoonfuls of this liquid,
pour the whole over the starch paste and
boil not less than half an hour. These
proportions are intended for collars, cuffs
and fine shirt bosoms. For other articles
less of the liquid is required. New York

woman's Opportunity.

Starting from the premise that There
and desires seem much beyond their op-
portunities, Mr.. George 5. Merriam, In
his recent book, 1.-THE Chief End of Man"
presents these golden thoughts in glowing
words: Wherever your life touches another
life, there you have opportunity. The
finest, the most delicate, the most irresist-
iblo force lies in the mutual touch of hui
man lives. To mix with men and women
In the ordinary forms of social intercourse
becomes a sacred function when one car
ries into it the true spirit. To give
close, sympathetic attention to every hu-
man being we touch; TO try to get some
sense of how he feels, what he is, what he
needs; to make i'm some degree his inter
est our own-that disposition and habit
would deliver any one of us from isolation
or emptiness.
There is hut one sight more beautiful
than the mother of family ministering
happiness and sunshine to them all, and
that Is q woman who. having no family
of her own, finds her life in giving cheer
and comfort to all whom she reaches and
makes home atmosphere wherever she
goes. Though She have not The low ~
wife and mother, she has that which is
most sacred In wifobood and motherhood.
She shares The blcssCdncss of that hiobcst
