HOUSEHOLD HELPS
summer Recipes That Preserve Order
and Cleanliness in the
Household.

To clean oil finished paint or hard
wood use weak tea, almost cold, to re-
move the dust and discoloration, and
then rub it over with a flannel cloth
dipped in furniture polish made of one
third inseed oil, one-third turpentine
and one-third vinegar. Shake it well
together in a bottle, pour it into sau-
GER and rub hard. 1t is a very satisfac-
tory polish. To revive gilt frames take
If the white of eggs two ounces and OF
chloride of potash or soda one ounce;
nix well, blow the dust off from the
frames and apply with a soft brush. To
take fly specks off gilt frames moisten
them with the white of an egg; let il
cemain about Is minutes, then wipe of
| with a silk cloth. Plaster bustS and
statuettes may be cleaned, where it is
not desired to paint them, by dipping
them into thick liquid starch and dry
ing, and when the starch is brushed off
the dirt is brushed off with it. Old
leather covers of books may be fresh
ened by first wiping clean with ATTAIN
mel rag, then rubbing lightly with the
well-beaten yolk of an egg applied with
soft sponge. and lastly, by pressing
hot iron over a piece of thin paper laid
over the surface of the cover. OXalic
acid diluted with water will remove ink
stains from the pages. Apply with
camel's hair brush.
Marble figures, statuettes, etc., can be
cleaned by using paste of whiting and
water, allowing it to dry and brushing
off with soft cloth. Smoke made from
burning a piece of gum camphor will
clear bedroom of mosquitoes. Wall
paper may be cleaned if wiped with dry
Indian meal on a dry cloth. Do not rub
colors. Grease stains in carpet may be
| removed while fresh if coarse brown po-
per is placed over the stain and ironed
| with a warm iron. Or cover spots with
Indian meal; remove when grease
strikes through. Use ammonia in water
for washing woodwork: or, better still,
use kerosene oil instead of water to re.
move finger marks or stains, then wash.
Very little force is necessary and var
nish, oil or paint are not injured. Use
whiting in the water for washing white
and delicate shades of painted wood
of bedsteads, etc. Clean piano keys with
soft rag dipped in alcohol. Use same
for cleaning prisms on candelabra or
chandeliers. Use salts of lemon for
the stains on ivory.-Chicago Chron-

African Currency.

In Africa there are several varieties
of unusual money. The following in
cident gives an example of one mode
of using currency: In West Africa there
was an illustrious king, Kamrasi by
name Of the Wanyoro tribe; he sent off
an expedition provided with GOO ma
jembe, kind of iron-spade money; the
of two majembe per diem
would provide for the expedition; with
them was carried magic>horn, which
protected them from danger. East CEN
trail Africa furnishes another form of
spade or hoe money made of ham,
mered iron; these are made and used
by the Bari tribe, who trade them with
people from the interior. This hoe is
of no practical use, except as portable
form of exchange, after barter being
converted into weapons and ornaments.
At Urua, central Africa, is another form
of currency, in the shape of a fat cru
ciform ingot of copper, 9A inches in
length. Spears formed currency in
use near the Stanley falls as recently
as 1895. The iron spear is very we'll
made; in the shaft is an ornament;
the whole thing is five feet five inches
in length, and could well be used as q
weapon. 1t is recognized currency
at Lower Lomamu; smaller object is
from the same district, Of q graceful
shape, but Of no use except as money.

SOUNDED BY A DOG.
Little Dlnck-and-Tan Terrier in
an Apartment House.

The handsome brown-stone apart
ment house at 1927 Park avenue, New
York, is known in the neighborhood by
one distinguishing feature. Every one
of the ten families living there owns a
canine pet, varying all the way from q
huge St. Bernard that has to go out into
the street to turn around to the tiniest
of toy terriers. The other morning the
dogs furnished topic of conversation
which will last for months.
Mrs. Woerner, who occupies the south
flat on the ground floor, owns black
and-tan terrier. At five o'clock in the
morning she was awakened by the fren-
zied barking of the animal. Nothing
would quiet it. The dog continued his
barking and scratched at the hall door
until Mrs. Woerner opened it.
AS she did so she smelled smoke.
Looking further, she saw that the wood
work surrounding the letter boxes in
the vestibule was on fire. Mrs. Woerner
rushed out, and as she did SO the little
dog gave several short barks, which
were followed by pandemonium, caused
by every other dog in the building-the
St. Bernard, beagle hound, and set
ter leading off, followed by sharp bark
ings in every key from every other dog
in the house.
The dogs did not quiet down until the
firemen put out the blaze.

The men-of-war of the ancient Ro-
mans had a crew of about 225 men, of
which 174 were oarsmen working on
three decks. The speed of these vessels
was about six knots an hour in fair

"ThemistoclesPh rearios" is scratched

victor of Salamis.
A medical paper compliments the
Philadelphia physicians on the fact
that, whereas more than IS per cent. of
typhoid fever cases terminated fatally in
1886, and more than 20 per cent. in the
years before 1890, there is now mortal
ity of scarcely more than ten per cent.

The first fork brought to America was
for Gov. John Winthrop, in Boston, in
1888, and it was in leather case with
knife and bodkin. Thirty or 40 years
later few two-tined iron. and silver
forks were brought across the water
and used in New York and Virginia, as
well as Massachusetts,, and by the end
of the century they had come into
scanty use by persons of wealth and
fashion.

C0PPER-L1NED sToMACHs
of an EnElishman and an
American.

John Collins, who has lately distin-
guished himself by swallowing 81 peb-
bles and has come out of Peterbor-
ough infirmary, where he has been in
confinement as the consequence of this
feat, no doubt thinks he has beaten the
record. He is mistaken, however. A
much more remarkable feat is recorded
in the museum of Guys hospital, where
they have some scraps of pocket knives
that have been swallowed by one John
Cummings, an American sailor. He
and his mates went to fair and saw
a mountebank doing some wonderful
things in the way of swallowing knives.
Most of them were greatly impressed
by the performance, but Cummings
made light of it, and declared he could
do the same if he liked. On being
dared to do it, he took out his own
pocketknife and bolted it. His ship
mates were naturally delighted. They
piled him with grog and affectionately
encouraged him to still further achieve
ments. Cummings boldly declared his
readiness to swallow all the pocket
knives on shipboard. Three were in
stantly offered him, and he actually
swallowed them all. One Of the four
he seemed to have permanently appro-
priated, and for six years he expert
mented no more in this way. Even
tually. however, he tried a few moro
of these somewhat indigestible articles
of diet, and, it was said, would swal-
low q knife with the utmost indiffer-
ence.
When Cummings told his story to the
doctors, as, of course, he had to do in
the end, they thought him mono
maniac and were inclined to pay no at
tention to it. External examination,
however, showed that metal point
had perforated the wall of the stom-
ach and induced the hospital author
tiles to administer powerful solvents in
order, If possible, to get rid of the OBJ
structive fragments of this singular
dietary. Perhaps the stomach which
had held out against pocketknives gave
in to the doctors strong medicine. At
all events, the man died, and they have
on show at Guys some 40 or so scraps
of metal blades and bits of handles and
other component parts of pocketknives
all testifying to the truth of the story
the man had told and proving indis-
putably that he had long been in the
habit of amusing himself or astonish-
ing his friends or perhaps turning an
honest penny occasionally in this orig
inal way. Collins certainly has beaten
him by coming out of the infrmary
alive.-London News.

CANADIAN GOLD OUTPUT.
In 1903 1t Amounted to s13,7oO,OOO,
Placing Canada Fifth as Gold
Producing Country.

Recently published official figures
show that in 1893 the Canadian gold
output was $13,7o0,ooo, placing Canada
In fifth place as gold-producing coun-
try. OF the total product $1o,OOo,ooo
was taken out of the Klondike. Official
estimates place the output from the
Klondike this year at s3O,oOo,ooo, and
British Columbia is also expected to do
much better than in previous years, SO
that Canadians hope that Canada will
soon be near the top. The yield of sill
yer is also growing larger from year
to year; in 1897 it was $3,323, 1895, sup
piled chiefly by the British Columbia
mines. The copper output is now past
the $1,000, 900 mark.

ARE NOT RELIGIOUS.
New Hampshire's Governor Alarmed
at Conditions in His State.
Calls for q Day of Fasting and Prayer
Declares There II q Woeful
Decline of the Christian
Religion.

In his proclamation setting apart .
fast day in the state of New Hampshire
Gov. Rollins makes some sensational
assertions. After referring to the ORR
gin of the day he says:
1.-THE decline of the Christian religion,
particularly in our rural communities,
is marked feature of the times, and
steps should be taken to remedy it. No
matter what our belief may be in re-
ngious matters, every good citizen
knows that when the restraining inf1u-
ence Of religion are withdrawn from
o community its decay-moral, mental
and fnancial-is swift and sure. To
me this is one of the strongest evidences
of the fundamental truth of Chris
tianity.
II suggest that, as far as possible, on
fast day union meetings be held, made
up Of all shades Of belief, including all
who are interested in the welfare of
our state, and that in your prayers and
other devotions and in your mutual
counsels you remember and consider
the problem of the condition of reli-
gion in the rural communities. There
are towns where no church bell sends
forth its solemn call from January to
January. There are villages where chill
dren grow to manhood unchristened.
There are communities where the dead
are laid away without the benson of
the name of the Christ, and where mar
riages are solemnized only by justices
Of the peace.
"Tfhs does not augur well for the
future. You can afford to devote one
day in the year to your fellow men,
to work and thought and prayer for
your children and your children's chill
dren."
