To Clean Paint.

If the paint is not very dirty, it can
be cleaned with a house flannel warm
water and little primrose soap. Other
wise, an excellent thing is sugar soap,
generally used by painters themselves.
About six ounces of the soap, which is
in POWDER should be dissolved in a
bucketful of water and used in the or
binary manner. This soap is also very
good for scrubbing very dirty floors.
For unvarnished paint, apply whiting
with a flannel which has been dipped
in pail of clean water and wrung
nearly dry. A little rubbing will re-
move all dirt and grease. The paint
must afterward be washed we'll with
clean water and rubbed dry with soft
cloth. The great thing in washing paint
is to dry as you go along, not letting
too much OF the paint be wet at the
same time.

Cinnamon and Microbes.

There was perhaps more virtue in Or

have been willing to admit. At any
rate various forms of it are now and
again authorized by physicians, the
latest being the old fashioned cinnamon
tea, which used to be administered on
any and all occasions. Cinnamon is said
to be inimicaI to microbe life and de-
coctions, and essences made from it are
being tried as a preventive Of the spread

Something About Portieres-A Pretty

This sad That.

Portieres. it should be remembered,

to shut out disagreeable drafts, some

it is manifestly unsuitable that they
should be tightly shirred on pole in a
way that takes several sharp and reach
ing pulls to draw them. They should
be invariably on rings and move easily
and quickly over the pole, the arrange
ment of cords that draw them aside in
simultaneously being preferred. Their
design should be simple, solid colors OF
neutral tint being the most acceptable.

doorway where the doors are open and
set back. They sometimes cover accept

closed, but otherwise they replace a
door that is removed for reasons. Their

A BOON TO WEAK MEN,

The depression caused by certain kinds of sick
is terribly wearing, and weakens and runs you
down rapidly than the physical disease itself.
Weak men know this. The consciousness of hav-
ing lost vitality and vigor, perhaps foolshly, is
simply maddening. Once, however, let the victim
see prospect of recovery and this passes away.
The vigoriess light ahead, renewed
strength and vitality in the immediate future and is
soon cured. But it takes the highest skill and the
widest experience to bring this about DIR. Greene
81 Temple Place, Boston, Mass. the distinguished
specialist, accomplish this. He cures the most
desperate cases of weakness ana debility. You can
consult him by letter, free. Write to him and get
his advice and you will be glad.

FOR MOTHERS SAKE.

For mothers sake, my boy, be sure
You hold your soul as Gods best gift:
Your body temple, wherein
May dwell a gift so pure;
Your heart, an offering, to lift
To its Creator, purged of sin.
For mothers sake, let noble thought
And honest purposes, inspire
Your life to lofty, honest deeds.
For her sake, thrust all motives fraught
With sinful lust, or foul desire,
Aside, and root them up, as weeds!
For mothers sake, let wine alone;
That curse of our fair Christian landL
In every drop there turks a sigh
Or some fair hearts despairing moan.
Use head and heart and manly hand,
Against this souI-degrading lie!
For mothers sake, if women err,
And come relenting, heart sick, sore
Cast thou no stone! Remember One
(The GOd-Head's great lnterpreter)
Who said-"Go thou, and sin no MORE"
Remember you are but woman's son.
For mothers sake, believe the best
OF all with whom thy lot is cast:
If doubt assail, cast it aside,
Sin forgiven is sin confessed.
Give to the poor that which thou hast,
And trust in God. He will provide.
For mothers sake, if any sin
Seem dearer, yes, and sweeter, too;
Use all thy force against it's charms,
+
God is thy refuge, strong and true,
And holds thee in his mighty arm.
For mothers sake, remember God
Now in thy hour of youths springtime.
Remember Christ, that sinless One
Whose feet all human paths have trod.
With what affection, pure, sublime,
He was an earthly woman's son.

He made a contract with man, ac-
cording to his story, to rent the proper

if the man wanted to purchase the
property the money paid on rent should
be applied on the purchase price. Otn-
erwise it would be considered simply as
rent.
When Eastman had collected con-
siderable amount, Morris demanded
settlement, but Eastman claimed that
he was unable to make a settlement un-
til the tenant had made up his MIND
whether or not he would purchase the
property After Eastman had refused
to settle several times Morris had him
arrested on the charge of embezzllng

The occurrence of light frost Tuesday
