Bcnzine in the WASH.

Family washing can be made much
easier IL benzine is used in the water in
the following way: The wash Is soaked
the night before washday as usual, a
half-cupful of benzine being added to
the water before the linen is placed In it.
The next morning, just before the wash
boiler is placed upon the range. another
half-cupful is added tothat water. Very
little rubbing will then be required to
clean the linen thoroughly. Time and
soap are saved and the clothes will be
brilliantly white and soft. When ben
zine is used the breaking Of the skin on
the hands is absolutely avoided. The
smell of the benzine disappears alto
gether in the wash boiler. Care should
be taken not to bring the pure benzine
near the fire, as it is very infammable.

morbid and miserable by that time that
| said to myself one day: I'm going to
put an end to this state of affairs here

I'll conquer my fear of it or die. If I'm
coward, might as well be dead, be-
cause can never feel any self-respect

city than it has ever been since. Street
robberies and murders were OF daily oc-
currence and all of the might men in
our office carried weapons as matter
of course. / bought a revolver and
commenced course of experiments
upon myself. When finished my night
work at the Office, instead of going di-
rectly home through well-lighted and
police-patrolled streets, l directed my
steps to the slums and explored the
worst haunts of vice and crime in the
city. If there was dark, narrow, cut
throat alley down by the river that !
felt afraid to go through at that hour
of the night, clinched my teeth, cooked
my revolver and went through it
sometimes twice in succession. If l
read in the morning papers that man
had been robbed or murdered on GER

next night. l explored the dark river
banks, hung around low drinking dives
and the resorts of thieves and other
criminals and made it an invariable rule
to do at all hazards the thing that

adventures. One night saw man at

down with a slung-shot, just across the
street. / ran to his assistance, fright
ened away the robbers and picked him
up from the gutter in q state of mcon-
sciousness. Another night, after two
o'clock, 1 saw a mans throat cut down
by the river-und ghastly sight it
was; but although somewhat shaken,
did not become faint nor sick. Every

TO do 1t, and then began to feel better.
'Soon after this time l went on my

THE WIDOWS CLAIMS.
Experience Has Taught Her the Way
to Mems Esteem.

w nth EShtths
The ordinary unmarried girl is often
most attractive to q man in her igno.
rance of the world and its ways. II
she let's it appear that she wants to
know little except such as he may wish
her to know, her charm, in his esteem,
is bound to be increased. A man loves
to be exalted to the position of keeper
of girls heart and mind. 1t adds to
his sclf-esteem and gives him that seEse
of vested interest in another's life
which reaches its climax in marriage.
But widows are in u different case.
They do not allure by their ignorance.
A dull widow repels men. But spark
ling, bright, conversational and tactful
widow will, if she is young, prove most
seducing to many members of the other
SEX Most men love innocence in Il
woman more than aught else. But
there are others to whom worldly eX-
perience, especially if accompanied by
beauty and evident good nature, is far
stronger lure.
American widows excel in charming
mankind. 1t is only necessary to think
of the number of them who have be-
come part and parcel of English society
TO realize this. The American girl gets
more than her proper share of mascu-
line alteration in the states. Perhaps
this makes the American widows So
cial department appeal more to English
sympathies than heart.
Unmarried girls may be insipid in
their talk and yet attract good deal
of attention. Not so the widow. EX.
rerience has taught her the way to
mems esteem, and thence, perhaps, to
their hearts. Who like her can fatter
and tickle the vanity of the average
male? 1t is no crime in her; oh, dear,
no! Men are vain and like to be flat
tered, just as cats like to be stroked
the right way; and having good opin.
ion of themselves, they are exceeding
ly prone to form high opinion of the
person in whose agreeable society this
weakness Of the male nature is recog-
nized and catered to. This is the wild
ow's art. AS student and expert at
life she is miles above the unwedded
maiden.
For tact she is not to be beaten. She
is the best of peacemakcrs, even as she
is often hostess of the first rank

INDIA CURRY.
A Hot-Weather Use of the COndimon,
Scarcely Known to Americans.

A HOt-Weathcr Use of the COndimont
Scarcely known to Americans.
The use of that wholesome condi
ment, curry powder, in the average
American family is becoming greater |
each year. This powder has been in
general use in England since the days
of Warren Hastings, and Englishmen
have become very fond Of 1t, some
sprinkling the curry from holder as
an American would pepper upon his
food. People living where the heat OF
the climate makes it necessary to use
stimulating condiments In their viands
learn quickly to like curried dish or
anything with this powder in 1t. Per-
haps it is not generally known that
slices of cold meat or fowl heated in a
well-seasoned curry sauce and served
for luncheon on hot summers day are
better for the stomach than the cold
Iaeats alone. A curry powder is used
with great success in seasoning fish
sauces and vegetable dishes as well as
meats, and q little of this powder in
soups adds to their flavor
A curry powder is pulverized very
fine and smooth, and usually is pre-
pared with the following spices: Twelve
ounces of tumcric, one ounce Of cayenne
pepper, half an ounce of black pepper
the same of paprika, six ounces of GIN
ger, half an ounce each of cardamon
seed, cummin seed, mace, and CHINA.
mon, and eight ounces of coriander
seed. A bottle of the best imported In
dia curry powder may be purchased at
small expense and will retain its
strength for long while if kept closely
corked, rolled in thick paper, or put in
dark place.
In the East Indies, where curries are
so successfully made, an acid fruit Is
commonly and cocoanut is always used
with the other ingredients, which would
seem unusual to us, who are accus-
toned to associating cocoanut with
delicate cakes and dainty puddings.
Here is one recipe for India curry:
Break open u cocoanut, save the milk,
and CRATE half the nut meat. Pour over
this half a cup of fresh milk and the
cocoanut milk, and let them stand in
cool place several hours. Take q
boiled fowl and cut it into pieces of
the proper size, removing the skin and
bones and sprinkling the flesh lightly
with salt. Cut good-sized onion into
small pieces and put it into frying
pan with three tablespoonfuls of but
ter; cook them five minutes, add half q
chopped green pepper, and cook five
minutes longer; stir in two tablespoon
fuls of -four and two teaspoonfuls Of
curry powder and stir until it is frothy;
slowly add one pint of the liquid In
which the chicken was cooked, after re-
moving the grease carefully. Now press
the milk from the grated cocoanut and
add it to the other ingredients with a
teaspoonful of sugar. Allow these to
cook slowly ten minutes. Put into a
saucepan the prepared meat and strain
the curry sauce over it; add the juice Of
half a lemon; cover the pan, and let the
contents just bubble for 20 minutes;
then serve. A few raisins or pieces OF
apricots are frequently added with the
other ingredients; then the sugar and
lemon may be omitted.-N. Y. Sun.

WOMAN AND HOME.
NOTED HINDoo WOMAN,
The Punditn Rnmabni, Daughter of n
Mprathi Priest.

Marathi Priest.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
union of India has just held most Sue
cessful convention in Poona. The en-
ergotic president, Mrs. Mary.K. Phillips,
of Calcutta, presided, aud delegates
from ii different organizations of the
Woman's Christian Temperance union
were present. Pundita Ramabai, of
Poona, addressed the convention on the
needs of her countrywomen, and re-
ioiced the hearts of the white-ribboners
by saying at the close of her remarks
that, although she had hitherto re-
( fraiued from throwing herself fully
into the Woman's Christian Temper
anceunion work for want Of time, she
was now resolved to take it up. She
was made national superintendent OF
native work.
1t was decided to form a stock COM
pany for the publication of the White
Ribbon, the official organ of the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union for
Asia, and III shares were taken at the
convention. A special committee, ap-
pointed to consider the establishment
of an inebriates' home, recommended
that the government be memorialized,
asking for legal power to restrain in-
ebriates in home, provided the inebri-
ate has pledged himself to submit 10
the restraint. The report of the COM
mittee to consider the organization OF q
society for the prevention of cruelty to
children was feature of the conven-
ton, and department for this work in
the Woman's Christian Temperance
union was created. The next conven-
tion will meet in Allahabad.
Pundita Ramabai is recognized in her
own country as the greatest IIindoo
woman that has lived. She is the daugh-
ter of a Marathi priest and can trace her
Brahmin ancestry thousand years
Her father, having resolved, in defiance
of the laws of custom and conventions
ality, to educate his wife, retired to n
forest home to carry out his ideas with
out molestation. There, in 1853. Ram.
abai was born, and there, in entire Sc
clusion, was educated by her parents
Orphaned before she was 16, she trav-
eled several years with her brother, q
noble young man who sympathized
with her in her determination to de-
vote herself to the elevation of hei
countrywomen. The degree Of Saras
vati was conferred upon her by the Uni
