Useful Hints.

Camphor put in drawers or trunks will
keep away mice.
Rub hinges with feather dipped in
oil, and they will not creak.
Before laying carpet, rub the board
with turpentine to safeguard it against
moths.
The odor of sweet peas is so offensive to
flies that it will drive them out of sick
room.
Brasswork can be kept beautifully bright
by occasionally rubbing with salt and vine
gar.
A little charcoal mixed with clear water
thrown into sink will disinfect and deo-
orize it,
A spoonful of vinegar put into the water
in which meats or fowls are boiled makes
them tender
Boil three or four onions in pint of
water, apply with soft brush to gilt
frames, and flies will keep off them.
A fever patient can be made cool and
comfortable by being frequently sponged
with water in which little soda has been
dissolved.
In baking potatoes the flavor is much
improved by first boiling them for about
ten minutes with the skins on and then
draining before putting them in the oven.
Equal parts Of ammonia and spirits of
turpentine will take paint out of clothing,
no matter how dry or hard the paint may
be. .Saturate the spot two or three times,
then wash out in soap-suds.

When fellow is sharp it doesn't pay

Most men like to be told they are work
ing too hard.
Success sometimes depends upon the

The lazy man seldom has chance to

A Home Made Weather Prophet.
From the PhiIadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
For this you need quite clean, clear
glass bottle. Take one drachm each of
camphor gum, saltpetre and ammonia
salts, and dissolve them in thirteen drachms
of pure alcohol. Shake till dissolved.
Then pour in bottle and cork tightly.
Hang the bottle of mixture against
wall facing north, and it will prove per-
feet weather prophet.
When the liquid is clear it promises fair
weather. When it is muddy or cloudy it
is sign of rain.
When little white fakes settle in the
bottom it means that the weather is grow
ing colder, and the thicker the deposit the
colder it becomes.
Fine, starry fakes foretell storm, and
large flakes are signs of snow When the
liquid seems full of little, threadhke forms
that gradually rise to the top, it means
wind and sudden storms.

A Story Worth Telling.
From the Congregationalist.

Here is little story which is surely as
well worth the telling as the histories of
wars and crimes and sharp tricks in the
money market.
A shrewd Hebrew merchant, whom we
shall call Lejee, built huge department
store in one of our large cities. 1t was
planned to occupy a whole block But
the corner lot, 40 feet square, was owned
by an old German matchmaker named
Weber, who refused to sell it.
s'No, will not give up my house, he
said. ''T bought it when property was
cheap, and | have lived here for fifty-two
years. .
"But, Lejee reasoned, "you gave up
business years ago. You make or sell no
watches now. Your sons have other pur-
suits You don't live in the house, only
sit in this Office all day, looking out of the
window"
The office was small room in the second
story, with an open fireplace. A battered
walnut desk was fitted into the wall. and
before it stood an old chair with sheep
skin cover.
The old mans face grew red ''You
are right, he said ~ don work here.
| have enough to live on without work.
But | am an old man, and this room is
home to me. When my wife and 1 first
came here we were poor. worked in the
shop below. Greta fried the cakes and
wurst over that fire; the cradle stood in
that corner Little Jan was born here;
his coffin was carried out of that door.
Greta is dead for many long year. But
when sit here and look out of the win
dow, | think she is with me. For thirty
years she and | looked out of that win
and talked of the changes in the street
below
Lejee was silenced for the time, but
began his arguments again the next day,
doubling his offer
''The lot is worth that to me, he said,
Gas | own the block, but to nobody else.
You are throwing away large sum which
would be great help to your sons that
you may indulge bit of sentiment Have
you the right to do that p
Weber was hard pushed. His boys were
struggling on with small means; this money
would set them on their feet. What right
had he to spoil their lives that he might
sit and dream of old times? The next day
he gave his consent, and the sale was
made. The old man lived in the suburbs;
he never came to that part of the town
while the building was in progress. When
is was finished and the huge department
.store was thrown open to the public, Le-
jee asked him to come in He led him
through the crowded salesrooms, piled one
on top of another for nine stories, and then
drew him into a narrow passage and flung
open a door.
There is your little Office, just as you
left it, he said. "We have built around
it, and over it, but not brick in it has
been touched. There is your fire with the
old tiles and your desk, and your chair was
brought back today. 1t is your office,
Mr.. Weber, and if you will sit here as long
as you live and think of them that are
gone, and watch the changes in the street
below, | shall feel there is blessing on
the big house, because | have friend in

An hour later when wine and gladness
were bringing back the color to Muriel' s
cheeks, Cyril told his story. When his

hours, and had been picked up by another

THE RECrOR's VACATION.

BY CORA R. BURTON.
o, the thrill of apprehension,
And the undisguised dismay,
When the rector starts tor Europe
For two months holiday
With uncertain ministrations
Of itinerant supply
o, the prospect isn't cheering
When the rector says goodbye l'
But We'll profit by his outing,
And venture to suggest
That Well recognize his value
While the rector takes his rest.
And we've certain to discover
When he's far across the sea,
That betwixt him and his people
There's strong affinity.
But while he seeks inspiration,
Free from parish incubus
Kneeling in some famed Cathedral,
VIII the rector think of us
Gazing, Iapt, on Alpine glory
That my eyes may never see,
Can the rector be expected
To hestow thought on me?
All though countless miles divide us,
Yet we trust the self-same God
To protect both priest and people
While the rector is abroad.
And, our love each day increasing,
There'll be joy among US, when.
Sped by prayers each day ascending,
Our dear rector's home again.
