HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.

Little onions are now boiled and
served on toast, after the manner, of
asparagus. This affords a change from
the stereotypcd way of serving, and will
usually be found most acceptable.
Turpcntine and linseed oil in equal
parts make Il good mixture for furni
ture. For sun streaks a solution, one
third sweet oil and two-thirrls alcohol.
is an excellent mixture. A soft cloth
slightly dampened with kerosene will
restore the polish. INK -
To detach book plate, cut piece of
flannel the exact size Of, the label; dip
in cold water, wiring it out, and apply
1T to the label; cover it with clean
piece of blotting paper, then pass hot
iron over it several times, and the label
may be easily removed.
Linen will last much longer if soaked,
and then steamed OF boiled without
rubbing. Let it boil about five minutes.
Rinse very thoroughly. Did you ever
notice iron-rust spots in your linen for
which you could not account? Those
were caused by the .laundress who was
careless about rinsing and left the soap
in.
Of course every good housekeepsr
sees that the stains are removed from
the linen before it goes into the wash.
If it is not convenient for you to use
lemon juice and salt to take out iron
rust spots, it may be easier to buy
lemon salts to keep On hand for such an
emergency. The salts are somewhat
stronger than the lemon. Grass stains
will always yield to cream of tartar if
the spot is wet and well rubbed.
A dainty way to prepare radishes for
the table is to cut morsel off the tip
of each, leaving at the other end the
heart leaves and bit of the stem. Cut
the skin down from the tip in five or six
places, bending each piece slightly out
ward to simulate the petals. If this is
carefully done, the radish takes on the
appearance of half-opened flower. OF
course, the radishes with the red skins
give the prettiest color effect, though
the new yellow ones are not without
beauty.

OLD AND NEW BUILDINGS.

The great glory of Chesterfield house,
London, is marble staircase, each step
of which is formed of single block
more than 20. feet long.
: An important work is soon to be be-
gun at Spalato, in Dalmatia. This will
be the building of central museum in
which the collection at present scat
tered among four buildings will be
brought together, including the objects
found in Salona and in the palace of
Diocletian.
charge of the Louvre, has resolved to re-
store the Tuileries garden to the condi-
ton in which it was in the days of La
Notre. AS the palace does not exist to-
day, it is impossible to say whether the
old artificial style will be more pleasing
or not.
Students of architecture may have
often wondered why the two towers of
Notre Dame, at Paris, were not of the
same size. A writer in one of the Eng
lish Magazines has found q rather curl
GUS explanation. It appears that when
the cathedral was built il was the cathe-
dral of suffragan bishop, who was not
entitled to two towers of equal height
and for centuries the bishop of Paris
was suffra man fo 40 1>;choo of Sens.

sOLACE IN THE PsALMNs.

PRESIDENT Kruger, in the course of
a recent interview regarding the
crisis, said he regarded the Boer po-
sitiCn best defined by the eighty-third
psalm.
This announcement from South
Africa reminds us that this Ii not the
first time that statesmen have found
comfort in. the Book Of Psalms.
The first Continental Congress met
at Philadelphia in September, l774.
1t was proposed that the proceedings
should be opened with prayer. Mr..
Joy Of New York and Mr.. Rutledge
Ut South Carolina objected on the
ground that the delegates we're not
sufficiently united in their religious
sentiments, some being Episcopalians
some being Baptists, others Presbyter-
ians and still others Congregational
lists. A false report had just reached
Philadelphia that Boston had been
bombarded by the English. What
followed is thus narrated in letter
written by John Adams to his wife
on Sept, 16, 1774:
@Mr. Samuel Adams arose and said
he was no bigot and could hear a
prayer from gentleman of piety and
virtue, who was at the same time
friend to the country. He was
stranger in the city, but he had heard
that Mr.. Duche (Dushay, they pro-
nounce it) deserved that character
and therefore he moved that Mr.. Du-
che, an Episcopal clergyman, might
be desired to read prayers to the
Congress. The motion was seconded
and passed in the affirmative. Mr..
Randolph, our President, waited on
Mr.. Duche and received for answer
that if his health would permit he
certainly would. Accordingly the
next morning he appeared with his
clerk and in his pontificiaIs, read sew
eral prayers in the established form,
and then read the collect for the sew
enth DAY of September, which was
the Thirty fifth Psalm. You must
remember that it was the next day
that we heard the horrible rumor of
the cannonade of Boston. never
saw greater effect upon an audi
ence. 1t seemed that heaven had or
dered that psalm read on that morn
ing"
There is a singular likeness be-
tween the verses which thus impress
ed the Continental Congress of 1I74
and portion OF the Eighty third
Psalm which Dom Paul finds so ex-
pressive Of his own feeling in this
year, 1889.
In the Eighty.third Psalm to which
the Boer President appeals we find
these words:
keep not thy silence, o God; hold
not thy peace and be not still, o
God.
"For 10, thine enemies make tu-
mutt; and they that hate Thee have
lifted up the head.
70 my God, make them like the
wheel; as the stubble before the
wind.
GAS the fire burneth q wood and as
a flame setteth the mountains Oh fire.
$50 persecute them with thy tenn.
pest; and make them afraid with thy
storm.
"Let them be confounded and trou-
bled forever; yea, let them be put to
ehame and perish"
While in the Thirty-ffth Psalm
which thrilled the Continental Con-
Bress, we read:
"Plead my caused Lord, with them
that strive with me: fight against
them that fight against me.
sLet them be COMPOUNDED that sock
after my soul; let them be turned
back and brought confusion that de-
wise my hurt.
Let them be as chaff before the
wind, and let the angel Of the Lord
chage them,

A Good Trick.

n "oou AEhCAs
The parrots determination to speak
his set phrases under all sorts of CIR
cumstances often produces strange sit
uations. The story is told of sleight
of hand performer who kept parrot
that he had trained to say, whenever
one of his masters tricks had been fin
ished: "That' a good trick What's the
next one2''
One day the juggler, being in sea-
port town, gave his performance in a
loft on one of the wharfs, which hap
pened to be just over the place where a
large quantity of powder was stored In
kegs. The juggler was about to perform
some feat which required the lighting
Of candle He lighted it and threw
the match away without making sure
that the blaze had gone out. The match,
still burning, fell through a crack In
the floor, and dropped into one of the
kegs of powder, which exploded with
great force, throwing the building into
the air
The parrot, who was blown up with
the rest, did not stop until it reached
the pinnacle of the topmast of a great
ship which lay off the wharf There he
chung desperately, and looking down to
the world below he called out in a
shriI voice:
