CARE OF SEWING MACHINES
How to Clean and Keep. Them In
Good Order.

~@S~@AAA
Good order.
A sewing machine must not be ex-
pected to run well unless 1t Is kept
clean and oiled as often as necessary
says the Louisville Courier-Journal.
Keep soft buster always In one of the
side drawers and use 1t every time you
sit down to the machine. Sometimes 1t
may be necessary to use little brush
with stiff bristles to get into the crew
ices or soft, fine Irvine to draw be
tween parts to get out the dust and
lint
The matter Of oiling depends alto
getheF upon bow much the machine Is
used. Do not drench the machine with
oil, but put drop or two in each little
hole designed for 1t and nowhere else.
When about to sew wipe with the dust
er the bottom of the shoulder on the
left hand side, through which the steel
bars of the presser foot and needle
socket descend This is where the oil
comes from that sometimes makes I'M
slightly spots on the work. When not
In use keep the machine covered and
the leather strap slipped off the large
wheel. 1t Will last longer and stretch
less If this precaution is taken. II
the machine stand in one of the Nv
ing rooms and there are young children
In the house, release the device which
most modern machines have at the
right hand for connecting the driving
wheels with the upper parts. Probably
a good deal of wear and tear will thus
be avoided, and. If necessary, keep the
machine locked.

Topic For the Week Beginning Aug.
2. "Remember Jesus Christi
Text, III Tim, ii. 8, H. v.

Remember Jesus Christ, risen from
the dead, of the seed of David"
The general topic this month is.
"PauPs advice to a young Christian
The texts are all selected from his let
tiers to his young travelling companion
Timothy
This letter to Timothy is probably
the last he ever wrote to any one, and
was written from Rome, where Paul
was a prisoner and under sentence of
death. For many years be had trav-
eled extensively by sea and land
throughout the empire of Rome,
preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ
and establishing churches, often at the
risk of his life from mobs, from rob
bers and In perils of travel He labored
daily to support himself at his trade
and shrank from no toll or pFfvation If
he might by any means advance the
cause of Christ. He was wholly given
to this one work and lived for no other
purpose. He was absorbed In the en-
thusiasm for Jesus Christ To live
was to push into new regions that he
might make known his Saviour 10
those who had never heard of Him.
When death should come it would be
the welcome ending of long race by
gaining the prize Of eternal life In the
presence and by the power of his glori-
fed Redeemer.
Believing in Jesus as humanity de-
scended from David, he believed He
was the frat to rise from the dead to
a deathless life. This was the fulfill
ment of all the Old Testament types
and prophecies and the full explana-
ton of the mystery of human exist
ence and divine revelation OF the
reality of the resurrection Of Jesus he
had no more doubt than of his own ex-
istence since the experience on the
way to Damascus The resurrection OF
Jesus Christ was the central truth
around which all other truth Of re-
ligion and salvation gathered Because
Christ was alive there was eternal
hope for all who believed In Him. He
would come again according to His
promise to take His loved ones to a
prepared land with bodies like His
own most glorious one. This belief
and expectation kept the apostle pa
tent under all trials and eagerly an
ticipaung the day Of meeting the Mas
ter whom he served. 1t kept him
buoyant and cheerful under all depres-
sions and prosecutions. This same
hope he commends to Timothy. RE

Cravats date from the incursion Of
the Croats into French territory dur
ing the Thirty Years war. The
French termed these invaders 'Cra-
Yates" and freak of fashion made
their somewhat clumsy neck gear
popular about 1886.
The fancy must have spread very
rapidly. for we find lace cravats with
broad ends hanging in front replacing
the wide collars OF the cavaliers during
the earlier stages of the civil war in
England Charles IL. made white era

The palmy period of the cravat was
early TN the eighteenth century, when
these articles were made of the very
finest lace and were 80 expensive that
even the richest Of fashionable young
men could not afford to have more than
two of them In their wardrobes.

we fail to enjoy the blessings Of to

WELSH WOMEN AND ENGLISH.
Their Inability to Speak the Lan- Guage Accounted For in
 Singular Manner.

Rev. A. N. Cooper gives the follow. ing amusing explanation of why Welsh women in a certain valley in the Snow don district do not speak English. while their husbands have a facility in the Saxon tongue, says the Yorkshire Post. He lost his way and called at a farm house.
 The farmer could speak English. and his wife could not. That was the r11le in Wales, and if any explan ation is asked prefer to give the farmers rath- CT than my own. A determined effort was made to get rid of the Welsh lan- guage some years ago when my farm CT was at school. When school bepan one boy and .one girl wore a board round their necks marked s.W. N, (Welsh note.) If either heard one of their sex speaking Welsh word the board was passed on to the culprit. who passed it to another culprit and so on. At 12 o'clock the master called up the possessor of the board and fogged him severely.
 Did they fog the girl, too?" T asked.
 No; he just tapped the girl on the hand. and they did not care if they got the board or not, and that's why the women in our valley cannot speak Eng fish and the men can"
