HINTS FOR THE HOME.

A tablespoonful of pulverized borax
added to pailful of water in which
fine fannels are washed will keep them
soft and white.
Javelle water will take out spots
from clothing if they are dipped into it
for moment and then into boiling
water. The yellow tinge will come out
by bleaching.
Paint, after it has become dry and
hard, can be removed from clothing
by using equal pants of ammonia and
turPentine. First saturate the spots
ind wash out in soapsuds.
Grease spots can be removed from
carpets by first covering with pow
dered chalk, then with soft brown pa
per. and rubbing over the spots SO pro-
tGcted with hot iron. This process is
exceedingly useful for dining-room use.
Grass green enamel is vying with the
plain unvarnished willow for populari-
ty for tables und chairs for summer
furnishings. While the willow used in
its natural state is newer, the green
will not soil so quickly, furnishes bet
ter and is really prettier.

CHALLENGED GOD.

"In the town of Hanover, in Ger

Ladies' Home Journal, "thcrc is buricd
n German countess who denied thn
existence of God and ridiculcd Tic iIrA
of the resurrection. To further sho..
her contempt for istianity sh.' cr.
dcred that on her death her g:-l"c
should. be built up of solid rnnsGnr.
and covered by large stones bound ~

was engraved her defiant challchc"
that through eternity this tomb should
never be disturbed. But one day the
seed from some tree, either blown b.
the wind or carried by bird, bccam,
lodged in a small crevice Of the tomb,
where soon 1t sprouted and began tu
grow. And then, as IL nature had
seemed to mock the naughty inideI.
she quietly extended the delicate root
Of that Seeding under the massive
blocks OF stone, and slowly raised them
from their place. And now, although
scarce four generations are passed.
since that tomb was sealed that insignifi-
cant seeding has accomplished what
God Himself was challenged to accom-

Revival Meetings.

The series of revival meetings now be-
ing held at the Gospel Mission continues
with unabated interest and power. More
than $40 persons have asked for and re-
ceived the prayers Of the workers in the
past two weeks. Yesterday the meetings
were of the deepest spiritual interest.
At the morning service large number OF
testimonies were given in words of praise
and Thanksgiving for deliverance from
the bondage of sin and intemperancs. In
the evening the hall was packed to the
doors, and many turned away for want
of room. Rev. S. F. Pearson preached
from the text Mark, 5-31: ''Who touched
my Clothes" and in most pathetic man
ner, clearly pointed out and gave definite
direction to those who are yet bound by
sin and disease of both soul and body
how to obtain deliverance. At the close
many asked for prayers for unsaved rela-
tives and friends, and at an after meet
ing several signed the pledge. Meetings
will be held every evening this week at
7.30 O'Clock to which all are cordially
invitad

THE NEW THEATRE.
Mr.. Francis Wilson's Opinion in Regard to
1t.

Mr.. Francis Wilson is man who knows
all about a theatre and he has found
much to praise in the Jefferson as the
following letter, which he wrote to Col.
Wood, the architect of the building before
leaving the city, shows:
Portland, Me-. September 16, 1897.
My Dear Col. Wood:-I want to con-
ton OF SO beautiful a theatre as the Jeffer-
son. To my mind it is an ideal building
for the purpose for which it was con-
structed. Aside from the skillful arrange
ment of the boxes the unexcelled line of
sight, the unusual acoustic properties,
the lavish consideration shown for the
public's comfort in the reception and
smoking rooms, the number and arrange
ment of the dressing rooms, the taste dis
played in the upholstering and the deco
rative colors employed, these together
with two other prominent features make
1t perfect place of amusement. First of
these it is an absolutely fire proof build
ing, second, it is q wide, shallow theatre.
This arrangement of construction gives
the greatest comfort to the greatest mum
Der of people in that it brings them not
only within the proper distance for hear
ing but also within the proper line of
sight 1t enables them to see distinctly
the facial play of the actors or speakers
on the stage, a cOnSi deration not to be
under estimated, for on it largely depends
the success of the evening, both for audi
tor and artist. This will be especially ex-
emplified when Joseph jefferson plays
there for then all the delicacy of express
sion, of lip and eye may be noted and en-
joyed.
Very sincerely your friend,
FRANCIS WILSON.

NEW "NEW ENGLAND"
Dominion Liner, Now Building, VIII Be q
Fine Vessel.

The work on the steamer now building
at Ethe shipyard of Harland Il Wolff, at
Belfast, Ire., for the service between
Liverpool and America for the Dominion
line, is progressing most favorably, and
the ship will be delivered at Liverpool,
as per contract on April 1.
Messrs. Richards, Mills u Co. the own
ers of the Dominion line, have decided to
name the new steamer New England In
stead of Dominion, as was at first intend
ed. The New England will be very
attractive ship. She will be 30 feet long
er than the Canada, 8 feet wider beam
and 2 feet more depth of hold. She will
carry cargo of about $1,000 tons meas
urement. She will have moresspassenger
accommodations than the Canada, the
first cabin staterooms being more spa
cious, and somewhat of an improvement
in the way of furnishings and decor
ations. 1t is undecided yet who will COM
mand the New England, but it is pro-
able that Capt. McAuley, now in the
Canada, will take the new ship, and
another captain be given the Canada.

Woman,s Council.

The Woman's Council held it's first
meeting of the season Friday afternoon
in the Fraternity parlors. In the alb
sence of the President Mrs. G.. S. Hunt,
Vice President-at-large was in the chair.
The object of the meeting was to dis
cuss the desirability of giving a course of
lectures on law, medicine, journalism
political economy and various matters
of equal interest. 1t was the unanim Gus
opinion of the Council that such course
would be desirable. And a vote was
taken to that effect, the dates of the lee
lures are not yet fixed. The lectures are
specialists in these various fields, and
Will be appreciatively received by the
lecture going public of Portland. The
Council has plans for further work along
the lines previously indicated, but MOTH
ing yet formulated. There are fourteen
Women,s societies connected with the
Council, comprising many hundreds of
members.

Break on Cumberland ST.

Some time after three O'Clock Saturday
morning the fruit, confectionery and
general store of A. L. Huff at the corner
of Chestnut and Cumberland street was
entered by thieves and several dollars
worth of cigars, candy and other articles
were stolen. The entrance to the store
was made through one of the side win
dows on Chestnut street. The men helped
themselves to everything they thought Of
value and ransacked the store thoroughly.
Among other things they stole several
dozen of shoe strings and both men pulled
the old strings out Of their shoes and put
in new ones before they left the place. In
coming out of the store the men opened
the window on the Cumberland street
side of the store and left the window open
behind them. One of these men is known
and it is likely that arrests will be made
in this case before very long.
