Substitute for Leather.

The constantly increasing cost Of
leather has caused the manufacture Of
many kinds Of material to be used as q
substitute. They have all disappeared
quickly, as they could not show proper
endurance. On chairs in parlor cars,
smoking-car seats, carriage coverings,
ETC., they would soon be scratched, torn,
or have holes burned in them by Gin
ders. Recently, however. Boston has
produced "moroccoline," which after
being tested in hard service in the cars
of more than 40 railroads, is said to be
as satisfactory as leather, and only
costs one-third as much. 1t is made OF
one thickness of drill or duck with a
heavy surface coating. 1t can be so en-
bossed by the electroplate process that
the effect is perfect reproduction Of
any desired leather grain.

WASHINGTON, Jan G.-The Senate
Yesterday passed the House bill abol-
ishing the death penalty in a large
number of cases The measure is in
the line of recent stnte laws abolishing
capital punishment. and applies the
same principle to federal offenses, al
though the change is not extended to
total abolition of the death penalty.
The present laws. which have come
down from colonial times, have a
sanguinary aspect and prescribe death
for ohenses Of various character The
bill passed reduces the offenses to five,
viz: Treason, criminal assault, muir
der and two offenses applicable to the
army and navy. In all other offenses
hard labor for life is substituted as
the maximum punishment and even i'm
cases of murder and assault hard labor
may be substituted If the jury states
in its verdict without capital punish
ment.n

The End of Life.

The end Of life is not to do good,
as though many of us think 90. 1t
is not TO win souls, although | once
thought so. The end Of life is to do
the will Of God.
How can you build up a life on
that principle? Let me give you an
outline Of a little Bible reading:
The object of life: Il come to do
thy will, 0 God.
The first thing you need after
life is food: my meat is to do the
will OF him that sent me-"
The next thing you want after
food is society: he that doeth the
will of my Father in heaven, the
same is my brother and sister aud
mother"
You want education: Teach me
TO do Thy willyO God"
You want pleasure: Il delight
to do Thy will, 0 God" "
A whole life can be built up on
that one vertical colamn. and then.
when all is over, "He that doeth the
will of God abieeth forever "-HeG-
ry Drummond.

Getting Perfusne From Flowers.

A Frenchman has found a method
OF extracting The perfume of flowers
without crushing Or killing the bios
SONS. Il consists in immersing the
flowers in water which, as it be-
comes charged with the odor, is
gradually withdrawn, while fresh
water takes its place Afterward
the perfume is isolated from the
water with the aid of ether. 1t is
said that by this method some aow-
ers whose perfume bad never before
been extracted had been successfully
treated. The process has been not
ably efficient in the CAGE of the lily
0fthe-valey .-hx.

Household Hints.

Lemons are improved and kept
fresh by keeping in cold water till
ready for use.
Sulphur and lard mixed to stiff
salve make an excellent ointment
for a burn.
The best and quickest way to
clean the isinglass windows in stoves
Is TO use vinegar and water.
A heaping teaspoonful of powder
ed boraz to pint OF hot starch will
render the clothes much sitter.
A spoonful of vinegar added TO
the water in which meat and poultry
are boiled makes them more tender.
When yon sponge spots ON cloth
gith alcohol, especially when the
spots are from grease, dissolve a lit
tie sa It in the alcohol.
tits positively asserted that to
drink a pint Of hot milk or hot wat
er viii have the effect Of producing
sleep in eight cases out of ten.
Tin tea kettles may be made as
bright as new by simply rubbing
Them with woolen rag dipped in oil
and then wiping dry with clean
cloth.
The instant you remove blister
plaster rub the surface with vase
line, then lay over It sheet of aO-
sorbenr cotton, and if the blood is
in good condition, not much suffer
ing win ensne.
After each meal the house should
be aired thoroughly for at least five
minutes. Those in the house do not
notice the odor of food; but one
coming in from outdoors is apt to
be annoyed.
The water in which potatoes have
been boiled is very effective in keep
ing silver bright. 1t can be bottled
