The Juice of the Papaw Tree.

In his History of Barbados Griffith
Hughes mentions that the juice of the
papaw tree is Of so penetrating nature
that if the unripe peeled fruit be boiled
with the toughest old sailed meat it quickly
makes it soft and tender. Kersten also
tells that boiling meat with the juice
of the papaw is quite common thing in
Quito.
Captain s. P. Oliver, writing in Nature
July 10, 1879, says, in Mauritins, where
we lived principally on ration beef cut
from the tough flesh of the Malagasy oxen,
we were in the habit of hanging the ration
under the leaves themselves, and if we
were.in hurry for very tender piece Of
fllet our cook would wrap up the undercut
of the sirloin in the leaves, when the new
" killed meat would be as tender as if il
had been hung for considerably time.

Boiled Silver Shines.

Somebody has discovered that silver is easily
kept bright if it is boiled occasionally in an
aluminium kettle. This latter vessel must be
kept perfectly clean and bright and filled with
hot water when the household silver is put in
it. Keep the water boiling for 15 minutes,
then take out and dry the silver with the or

bright and glittering The kettle. on the con

EUCHRE WRECKS HOMES.
Husbands Ask Warrants Against
Wives Crazy For Cards.

PlttSburg, Pa, Jan. 16.-To such an
extent has the vice of gambling in the
form of euchre for prizes taken hold
upoE the women of Beaver county that
today the merchants, professional men
and many of the independent wealthy
men of the city presented petition to
Representative w. H. Bricker, asking
that a law be passed to make card
playing for prizes illegal.
Inc craze seems to have taken Spe-
cal hold upon the city of Beaver Falls,
and today the leading men of that city
called en- masse on Justice William Pr
per and asked him to issue warrants
wholesale against the women of the
city. Nearly 100 names were men
TONED, many of the compliments nam
ms their wives. They affirmed that
they were not able to get their meals
cooked; that the interest of the women
in their homes was dying out, while
the clergymen in the delegation at
hrmed that the teachers in the Sunday
schools wrangled over the questions of
euchre instead of teaching their classes
and debated and discussed prizes to be
under cover of their hymn books.
Justice Piper succeeded in allaying
the indignation of the men, but the
local press of Beaver Falls has been
requested to publish the names of
those who have been most conspicuous
IN this regard, and it is hoped that
this unenviable notoriety will achieve
the purpose of staying the rapid growth
of the gaming spirit

SOCIAL STIGMA NONSENSE.
Prevents American Women From Ac-
cepting Domestic Service.

If one glances behind the counters of
the big dry goods stores and sees the
over-tired and heavy-eyed girls who
must stand eight hours day sick or
we'll; or if one watches the factory
most part pale, hard worked and sickly
looking, one is moved to fresh wonders
as to why so many girls accept such
work in preference to going out in do
nestle service.
There must be reasons for this as
for all social conditions. The most po-
tent reason is the fact that out of
working hours the shop or factory Girl
is absolutely free from responsibility
She, may dance all night and come in
tired and pale next day, but # she
drags herself through a certain amount
of work no questions are asked and
no reproof administered. Or. on the
other hand, if she is ambitious for self
Improvement, she has her evenings alb
solutely to herself to exercise her am
bltlon, so far as her business duties are
concerned. In domestic service she may
be called upon at any hour for extra
duties
Social stigma is the second great
cause which prevents American women
from accepting places as domestic SCR
wants. That there is such stigma can
not be disputed. There is. of course,
no reason why it should exist. Cook
ing meals, tidying rooms and the like,
is certainly as honorable work as SELL
ing dry goods or notions, or working
in a factory: nevertheless, the cham
bermaid is looked down upon for
some unexplained cause.
Every girl hopes and expects to be
married some day, and no girl wishes
to be placed in position to which So
cial stigma is attached and that would
operate to cut her off from association
with the class of men from which she
would be willing to marry a husband

Our Ignorance and TimiditH.

"One of the greatest drawbacks to
the progress of true Christianity in this
country is ignorance of their religion
amongst educated Catholics remarked
Father OReilly of Lawrence in Our
Parish Calendar" 1t is no uncom-
mon thing to find prominent Catholics
educated in all the affairs of life, we'll
up, so to speak, in literature and sci
ence, leaders in the professions, yet
almost as ignorant of the teachings of
their own church as they are of the
doctrines of Buddha and Confucius
They dare not open their mouths in
conversation on religious matters for
fear they would show their ignorance,
or. as is too often the case, lest they
might not, if true to their profession,
remain liberal. What wonder that edu-
Gated Professionals and unbeIievers.
though admiring the great Catholic
church in the abstract. are slow to
approach it in the concrete, when their
Catholic fellow-citizens seem so ill-in-
formed OF the teachings of their own
church or so tirid as to be always
ready % apologize for the position of
their church on public questions"

The Crown of Life is Character.

The reputation of borrower for in
tegrity and reliability has more to do
with giving credit than his mere abil-
ity to pay. 1t is interesting and in
structive to note the difference in the
ability of young men starting out on
their careers to gain confidence.
Of two young men who have had
equal advantages of opportunity and
education; who apparently, possess
equal business ability; and who
start out in the same city under prac-
tcally like conditions, one will rap
idly gain credit at banks and jobbing
houses, while the other cannot get
any foothold whatever People seem
to be afraid to trust him-not because
he is vicious or dissiDated, but be-
cause they are not certain of his in
tegrity. They do not feel that he can
be depended upon under all circum-
stances. Unlike the other young man,
he has not cultivated the oQe thing
upon which all credit is based. a char
acter above suspicion, reputation
without repfoaeh.-Success.
