Limewater.

Limewater has so many uses II Is
hard to classify. 1t Is good to soften
water, to sweeten drains, to keep milk
vessels wholesome, to make milk itself
sit well upon delicate stomachs, to test
air for excess Of carbonic acid-if there
is too much carbonic acid present, the
clear limewater instantly crusts over
TO take out marks left by grease spots
which have been removed by stronger
alkalis-in fact, for so many things II
should always be kept on hand, Mixed
with either sweet or linseed oil to q
creamy consistence, 1t is the very best
household remedy for burns and scalds.
1t costs practically no more than the
trouble Of making. Put lump of
quicklime as big as the two fists in a
clean earthen pitcher. cover 1t six inch
es deep with clean cold water, stir
with a wooden spoon and let 1t stand
six hours. Pour off the clear liquid
without disturbing the lime, but let 1t
run through double cheesecloth. Put
in small bottles and cork tight. In
using always pour off half an inch
from the top of a bottle that has stood.

-Four Perfect Women.

The prophet Mohammed Is reported
to have said that "among mon there
had been many perfect, but not more
than four OF the other sex have attain
ed perfection - to wit, Asiah, Mary,
khadijah and Fatima." Aslah was the
wife of the pharaoh of the Exodus.
She forsook the faith of her fathers, on
account of which her husband subject
ed her to many cruelties. The Virgin
Mary was the second perfect woman,
Mohammed stating that ''she had been
exalted above all the women of the
world" Khadijah was the first wife
of the prophet "a princess among wo-
men" Fatima, according to Moham-
med. was the fourth perfect woman,
rhe being his beloved daughter.

While he was grumpy all the rest of
the evening, Mrs. Bowser figured that
he would give up the idea by morning
and forget all about 1t. He didn't, how
ever. He WAS up earlier than usual
and gave the cook orders himself to
put him up lunch. and at breakfast
he announced bis firm intention Of
holding a one man picnic. Wifelike.
Mrs. Bowser relented and would have
sacrificed herself. but he turned on her
with:

bling brooks and shady dells. and you
stay right here among the flies, mi
crobes and cats!"

muttered something about human hogs.
The fat man jawed back. and but for
the conductor there would have been a
grapple to the death.
BY the time the country was reached
Mr.. Bowser's temperature was 21o.

The Third Handle.

The best account of the origin of the
loving cup comes from the late Lord
Lyons, British ambassador at Paris.
Henry ~ of France while hunting be-
came separated from his companions
and, feeling thirsty, called at wayside
inn for a cup OF wine. The serving
maid on handing it to him as he sat on
horseback neglected to present the ham
ole. Some wine was spilled, and his
majesty's white gauntlets were soiled.
While riding home he bethought him
that two handled cup would prevent
a recurrence of this, so his majesty
had two handled cup made at the
royal potteries and sent 1t to the inn.
On his next visit he called again for
wine, when, to his astonishment, the
maid, having received instructions
from her mistress to be very careful Of
the kings cup presented it to him by
holding it herself by each of its han
dies. At once the happy idea struck
the king Of cup with three handles,
which was promptly acted upon, as his
majesty quantity said Surely, out Of
three handles I shall dbe1 able to get
one" Hence the loving clp.

The English Are UnmiIitary.


Partly from historical and partly per-
saps from racial causes the English
are essentially unmilltary. They resent
the control Of soldiers. They distrust
military ideals. No government that
ever existed in this country was more
unpopular than that of Oliver Cromwell
and his major generals. Its unpopu-
larity eft an indellble mark on English
institutions. For many years it made
It impossible to have standing army
Even when the course of events made
It necessary to concede that much to
the military necessities of the time it
still remained maxim for centuries
with all politicians that as little power
as possible must be eNgranted to the SOL
diers; that their business was to fight
our wars, and, this being done, that
there was little or no place for them In
the body polite.
We do not think 1t necessary to de-
fend this attitude Of mind. Like most
popular feelings, 1t is largely unjust,
but also, like many popular feelings, it
Is based to some extent on true con-
ception. Politically, using the word in
It's largest sense, the domination of tho
military idea in a state is calamitous.
1t tends, we believe, to destroy indiyid-
uality and is serious menace to indi-
vidual liberty. = English Monthly Re-

Spirits Above and Below.

"Many years ago. writes a. New
Hampshire clergyman in the Boston
Journal, ''it was the custom to store
liquors in church cellars in Boston;
not all of them, but many of them.
As late as 1850, and probably later, the
cellar of the stone church on BowGoin
square was used by the Trull distillery
near by pitts street, If am right for

And rum. Some one found hymn
book in pew and copied in there the
following verse:
"1here are spirits above and spirits below.
The spirits of love and the spirits OF woe.
The spirits above are the spirits Of love;
The spirits below the spirits of woe.
The spirit above is the spirit divine;
The rsirits below the spirits Of wine.
"T have myself frequently watched
the men putting hogsheads Of rum into
the cellars or taking them out"

She knew that Mr.. Bowser would set
