peas. Put thin layer on brown pa

stand them in very hot sun, or in a

Shake or stir them three or four times
during the drying. Peas retain a
great amount of sweetness when dried
quickly. Keep them in tin boxes in a
dry place. They require soaking be-
fore cooking. They are much better
than canned peas; then, too, if care

Honse-Cleaning Suggestions.

A good furniture polish can be
made of one part turpentine and two
parts linseed-oil. Apply with a fan
mel, and rub dry with clean one un-
til polish is obtained. For articles
French polished the following is a
goo6 polish: Three ounces of beeswax,
one ounce of white wax, one ounce of
curd soap, ono pint of turpentine and
one pint of boiled soft water. Mix,
adding the water when cold. Shake
we'll, and do not use for forty-eight
hours. Before applying wash the ar
ticle with weak vinegar and water.
Clean the glass of mirrors and win
dows with water softened with am
monia, and use no soap. Use a
sponge for washing, dry with a clean
dry cloth, and polish with another.
Gilt frames may be cleaned with cold
water and half its quantity of vinegar.
Apply with a soft brush. Warm
water in which an onion has been
boiled will restore the gliding to
frames. Dry quickly with a clean
cloth. Marble ornaments may be
cleaned il only soiled with dust by
washing with a strong soap-suds.
Rinse in warm water, and dry with a
soft cloth. Brass may be cleaned and
given a brilliant polish by washing
with alum boiled in strong lye, in the
proportion of one ounce of alum to
one pint of lye. Wash willow furni-
ture with warm water and pure soap,
wipe very dry with soft cloth, then
dry in the sunshine or near a fire.
Leather which Is dull and stained can
often be restored by applying oil and
vinegar well mixed. Womdn's Home

as previously stated. There was an
other mighty repellent agent at work
heat. Let us try to conceive body
nearly eight thousand miles In diam
eter actually in burning, molten
condition. Like seething caIdron
its contents must have been in state
OF fearful sgitati IN. continually inter-
changing places, now sinking toward
the center, now being forced to the
surface, while certain portions would
be forced even beyond the surface
into outer space in the form of vapor
rings, and if it suits any better, re-
mlngllng with the primordiate rings
not yet descended. For, let me re-
mind the reader, there was a dreadful
connection taking place in, on and
about the old Cor new earth sin
those days" Dear mother earth was
writing, not in the agony of death,
but In the throes of a fiery birth.
When did the fires of this Titan fur
mace begin to burn? Was it when its
formative elements were yet floating
out in the abysses of space induced,
perhaps, by friction? Possibly; but
If so why was not everything consum-
able by fire utterly consumed while
In that rarefied state, and long before
1t was brought into solid Or plastic
mass? Or was it the result of pres
sure caused by the great weight,
gravity, of these elementary sub
stances as they were being brought
together about this nucleus? Great
question, truly. We incline to the
latter hypothesis and leave it there as
food for thought, for any whose
thoughts hunger for that kind of diet.
But one thing is certain: whenever.
wherever and however these great
fires originated, they are still burning.
beneath the earth's crust and the vol
canoes affirm it in decidedly hot
terms. By the way, what would hap
pen to this little establishment were
it not for its safety valves, the vol
canoes?
But to the point in question. If the
nebular hypothesis is true, then Earth
like Saturn and Jupiter, must some
time in the dim past have had it's
ring. (annular) system; and if CEN
trifugence and gravitation count for
anything, it must subsequently hav g
had it's canopies, as previously stated.
If it is not true, the fact remains that
we have an earth and it must be ad-
mitted that God brought it into ex-
istence in conformity with natural
laws, of which He is Author, and
that it was clarified in a crucible of
fire before 1t became, and that it
might become, suitable place for
mans abode. And again, if the laws
of heat and centrifugal force and
gravltation were the same then as
now, and we suppose they were, then
everything reducible by fire must
have been elected into outer space,
and, as before, have taken the form,
first, Of rings, then of ca nopies, lastly,
of deluges. In any case the waters of
our present ocean formed a part of
those canopies.
