How to Polish Silver.

Dear friends. tale I'll tell, though perhaps
you know it well,
How to polish mp the silver till it shines.
Without labor when you re tired, housekecper
or help that's hired,
will tell you all about it in these lines.
Peel potatoes three or four, though if small
you might peel more:
Boil them just about threc.quarters of an
hour.
While they're boiling add some salt or the
whole will bc in fault
And your temper turned from sweet TO aw
full sour.
Take tarnishcd silver mug, spoon or sugar
bowl or jug
Put them in and let them boil little whilr.
When you take them out, youll find that the
tarnish s.aid behind,
And their brightness. / am sure, will make
you smile.
Good housekeeping.

CHARITIES AND CORRECTIONS.

The session of the convention of char
tiles and corrections for Missouri, held
in st. Louis recently, decided to work
to effect certain legislative enactments
on the following questions; GD In favor
of the appointment of a state board of
charities and corrections, to act as a su-
pervising body over the charitable and
criminal institutions of Missouri; (2)
to secure legislation at the next general
assembly on behalf Of tramps, paupers,
youthful dependents, criminals and
charity and to utilize the labor of able
bodied unfortunates in improving the
roads; (3) to improve the public roads.
These are vital issues. The time is
fully ripe for taking hold of these sub
jects. Why not start tramp colonies, ard
let these waits and strays Of humanity
be taught to work and given therefor

HOW TO START COOPERATION.

First write to some authority for
printed matter in order that you may
thoroughly inform yourself Then talk
it up to neighbors and friends. Hold
some small meetings; read aloud to-
gether and discuss the points; talk
about it from business point Of view
and on its moral side; get q nucleus
fully imbued with its Importance. When
you have as many as 20 who are willing
to try IL, start subscription list for
membership at $25 or 500 each, payable
in small installments such as all can
afford. Organize in provisional way
with committee in charge. Do not
spend any money on legal organization
before you get fully started and know
that you are going ahead. Cooperation
is a voluntary matter and only slight
legal forms are necessary. when you
have enough money to buy'Jwo or three
items of plain groceries IN wholesale
packages, buy them and distribute them
at the ordinary retail prices in some
spare room of one of the me1bgfs You
have incurred no expense, am when this
distribution has taken plaje you will
find in your possession 10 OF 90 per cent
more money than you laid out. You can
then buy larger variety and you have
some money coming in all the time
from weekly installments. When the
membership and business have grown
sufficiently to justify hiring a store
room, then select an inexpensive place
and keep it open evenings. In the course
of time it may be kept open afternoons
twice week; later on two, three and
finally six full days week.
This is very small way Of starting,
but it is the surest way, and it is about
the way in which most of the co-opera-
tive societies which now do a business
of millions year were started. Under
no circumstances either buy or sell on
credit; under no circumstances incur
expenses that will consume the gross
profit or the greater part of it. Always
lay the chief stress on the moral ideal
of cooperation.

MORALS AND RELIGION.

Morals are the flower of logic; religion
is the offspring of the emotions. Morals
inculcate steadfast, optimistic belief
in the good in man; religion affiliates
with the prejudices and passions. The
one breathes an atmosphere of peaceful,
practicable calm, the other touches the
serene heights and descends into the
lowest depths of human nature. The
one is the midground of sentiment, the
other is perpetually in extremes. The
moral man is not unduly shocked by an
exhibition of depravity nor elatbd by an
act of heroism. He understands that
back of both are causes operating indie
pendently of the instrument. He knows
that mans responsibility is, in,a sense,
limited, but he recognizes the adapta-
bility of human nature and the necessi-
ty Of making it conform to an, ethical
standard.
Man has been taught the moral law
by centuries of experience. 1t is an in
tellectual perception, while religion is
dependent upon the emotions for its
very existence, and must inevitably give
way to morals, even Us the highly col
cred alphabetical charts of childhood
are replaced by classical treatises when
we put away childish things.
The chilly heights of abstract morali-
ty are warmed and gloriied when we
graft love upon it. While Jesus called
upon men to serve the good and reject
evil, he was no yitiless CENSOR His
compassion was Invite for those who

would organize cooperative associa-

shop and library, they could in a few
years greatly improve their finances
