HARD SOAP.
Two Simple Formulas Cor Making
the Common Kind FOR House
hold Use.

a simple way TO make a small
amount of hard soap is TO buy a can
of prepared potash and dissolve IL in
one quart Of cold water. The potash
will cause the water to boil like lime
when the mixture cools, and just be-
fore il Is cold stir in five pounds Of
melted grease. Stir the soap for ten
minutes over the fire, and then pour
it into an old dripping-pan or some
similar square-cornered dish. An Old
wooden box, if the joints are tight,
is the best thing to put it in TO harden.
Where there are stationary washtuhs
these may be utilized to cool the SOAP.
When il is soft, cut IL into suitable
sized bars and let it become hard.
II can be used "a hours after Il is made,
but II is better for ripening a month.
Still another way of making soap IS
with soda and lime. Dissolve sis
pounds Of common washing soda and
three pounds of unslackod lime in four
gallons of boiling water. Let the
mixture stand until the water above
Il is perfectly clear. Drain off this
water. Now pour IN two gallons Of
cold water and let il settle clear. Drain
this second water of in a pan. Put
six pounds of clean grease with the
lime and soda, and let the mixture boil
slowly for two hours till 81 begins to
harden. Thin it as it boils with the
two gallons Of water which was drained
into the pan. Add this water as it is
needed; it will not require all, only
enough TO prevent the soap from boil
ing over. When a little Of the cooled
soap hardens, add a handful Of sait
and mix well, and pour into mold
that has been well wet with water TO
prevent the soap sticking TO the mold.
When it is solid cut IL into bars. Let
the bars dry for three months.-N Y.

sTEADFAsr TO HIS DUTY,
Reasons That Were Alleged by q
Young Indiana Man for nefus-

Many men have laid down their lives

number for their families and friends,
but TO defy the devil and all his cohorts
for the love of others is a thing not fire.
quently encountered in this world of
selhshness. Exactly this thing, how
ever, was done recently by young
man at a camp meeting in Laporte
county, Ind.
II was the third day of the meeting.
A large number had been converted
and the mourner's benches were well
crowded, when the local clergyman, who
was acting as first lieutenant to the
important evangelist in charge of the
work, approached a young man who
stood in the rear Of the seats busily
chewing a cigar.
"Comc forward, john" said he "The
kind arrows of conviction are flying
straight 10 unrepentant hearts. Your
father, mother, brothers, sisters,
uncles, aunts and cousins are ali in
the fold Come"
The young man shifted his feet un-
easily for n moment, then threw
away his cigar, brushed the hair out
Of his eyes, yielded TO the persuasive
hand of the clergyman and took a
few forward steps. Suddenly he
stopped and asked;
HAS Cousin Bill Foote iined2"
Hes under conviction and is now
wrestling with Satan"
Then 1 can't go, parson."
"But you will lose your immortal
soul"
"I'll have to chance that. We've been
a powerful wicked family, parson."

clean sweep. It's my duty"
Probably you think I haint got no
duties. It's this way, parson: III

"And If he does not?"
"Then I've got a duty TO perform.
I'll have TO stay outside TO swear and

TEACHES BIRDS TO SING.
How Young CRnaries Are Taught Pop
uInr Airs by Means OF n
Music nOE.

An interesting and successful expe-
riment with canary birds has been per-
formed by a gentleman living in the
vicinity Of Twenty-hrst and Vine
streets, reports the Philadelphia Rec
ord. This gentleman takes diet
tante interest in the breeding Of these
song birds. AS soon as the young birds
are Matched he takes them and puts
them apart in room where he has
placed a small music box that initiates
the tone of a canary and is constantly
playing Che same piece. Here he keeps
them by themselves, allowing them to
hear only the tone Of the music box, so
that the young birds, accustomed to
hear the same air played continually
by degrees become masters of il and
sing IL alone. An that is necessary TO
start them when they are silent is to
whistle the airs, and the birds will inn
mediately join in. He has already
taught quite a number of young birds
to sing and is now engaged in teach
ing three young ones the air Coming
Through the Rye" Although they are
only seven weeks old they sing the air
very clearly, and in two more months
they will have it quite perfect. The
gentleman does not teach the birds
with a professional object, but as a
pleasure and pastime, and takes
much pleasure in showing his wonder
full pets to his friends.

OCEAN HOUSE BURNED.

Fire-Casino Damaged.
NEWPORT, r. l., Sept. 1O.-The Ocean
House. the Biggest hotel here. was burn
ed to the ground yesterday afternoon,
and the Casino was badly damaged by

and nobody was hurt.
The blaze started in one of the upper
floors of the Ocean House, a great
frame building on Bellevue avenue. The

Three alarms were turned in but the
FIRE burned fiercely and was beyond con-
troll even before the fire department re-
sponded. About 100 persons were stay
Ing at the Ocean House. None Of them
had time to save any Of their effects.
The fire broke out in the servants
quarters at half past . o'clock It was
away up under the caves. but it had
evidently been going on for some time,
for in 20 minutes the whole roof of the
structure was In flames. EmbeTs ny-
ing through the air landed on the roof
Of the Casino. about two blocks away,
and set il afire in eight places
Seeing that IL was impossible TO save
the Ocean House. the firemen turned
their attention to the Casino. After q
stubborn fight of an hour they succeed
ed in drowning out the flames. but the
Casino was ablaze again and again,
and the fremen were compelled to keep
streams constantly playing on the
building to save it from destruction.
Several other buildings in the neigh
borhood We're slightly damaged. The
/ destruction Of the Ocean House was
complete.

Thr Inanepce of Love.

Love is always building up. 1t puts

couragod ones, new strength TO those
who are weak, new joys TO those who
are sorrowing, thus enabling them to
go on ia LIES ways when without the
cheer they must have sunk down in
their disheartenment. 1t helps the
despairing to rise and start again.
1t makes life seem more worth while

It's words are benedictions. Its every
breath is fuA of inspiration. 1t does
good and never evil all its days. 1t is
like God, whose name is Love. 1t car

The photographer devotes his at

he volume of Business Is larger Than

Ever.
NEW YORK, Sept. 10-R. C. Dun &
20. S weekly review of trade says:
The volume Of business is larger than
ever has been. Investors across the
water have caught the cue and their
purchases of American bonds and
stocks have been heavy for several
weeks.
Wheat has been practically unchang
ed in price for spot with western re-
celpts only about as large as those OF
last year for the week.
Atlantic exports for the week have
been 2,S25,0o0 bushels against 42tS, 2s6
last year, flour included, and Pacific ex-
ports 1853, 1872 against 1898 last year.
Nobody can guess how great the de-
mand for iron and steel products may
be month hence, but the manufacturer
has the rare good sense to wait Cor the
actual orders before hoisting prices. SO
far the advance has been remarkably
moderate, in the average Of all finished
products only S.3 per cent from the low
est price this year, while pig iron has
risen less than 3 per cent. orders this
week include 10000 tons rails at Chi
cago, 5000 tons pipe at Boston. with 49,
900 to $4,000 tons coming at Philadelphia,
10000 tons plate for a Baltimore ship
yard and heavy orders for bars, rods
and especially sheets at all markets.
As most OF the big works are crowded
months ahead some OF the demand LAPS
over to concerns less fully occupied. But
in the near future. unless appearances
deceive, all works in operation will have
quite enough to do. and there Is reason
TO expect some increase in output
on the report Of Sept /, though a
number Of the furnaces in the valley are
still idle and likely TO be for some time.
