Household Hints.

Never hang a mirror where the
suns rays will fall upon it. The
sun acts upon the mercury and
clouds the glass.
1t is not generally known, but to
prevent cakes from burning place a
little bran at the bottom Of the
tins. This will save lot of grum-
bling and vexation.
To clean forks quickly take a
thin piece of frewood, damp one
end with water, then rub in dry
brick dust. Rub the forks well with
this, which will remove any stains
instantly without soiling or hurting
the hands,

For any reason whatsoever you
failed to present your friends with
a Christmas present, and the de-
sire to do so is still with you, and
provided, also, the reason has
been removed, then to present
them instead with New Year s
gift would, or should be, quite as
acceptable.
Lucky, indeed, is the business
house this disposes of all their
Christmas goods, thereby saving
the trouble and expense OF carry
ing them over.

Piano Test For Engines.

Pointing to a piano that was stand
ing in the locomotive roundhouse Of the
Missouri Pacific railroad near Kansas
City, an English visitor remarked, "Ah,
l see your road supplies you with mu-
steal entertainment
Guess not" replied the foreman.
THAT piano is for testing the engines" +"
The Englishman thought it a joke,
says a writer in the Worlds Work, but
when uniformed pianist struck a note
which harmonized with the noise of vi
bration in each part Of the locomotive
as it was tested he understood that
there could be no flaws or cracks in
the engine. He was informed that if
the noise of the locomotive made a dis
cord with the musical note the locomo-
tive would be thus proved defective.
The method has been discovered to be
more accurate than the old way of
hammering each part.

The Case of Apostle smoot.

There are pretty good indications
that the Smoot case is not to be de-
cided by the senate at this session.
The delay in undertaking the investi-
cation is said to be due to a partisan
purpose. Nearly all the Republican
members of the senate favor retaining
Smoot. but the moral sentiment of the
country is SO strongly opposed to his
being allowed to retain his seat that
many senators do not wish to 60 on
record before the election. There is
also partisan advantage to be gained
by delaying action. The Mormon
church is powerful political factor In
several of the western states and holds
the balance of power between the par
ties. The apostles of the church can
deliver the electoral vote Of Utah and
Idaho whichever way their interest
dictates, an( they are a powerful fac
tor also in some other states.
BY holding up the SmGot case the
Republicans have a club in their hands
that will keep the Mormon church in
line until the presidential camoai~n is
over and thrs assure the electoral vote
of the Mormon states for the Republic

THE COTTON TREE.
Il Grows In Mexico and Is Immune
From the BOll Weevil.

The federal department of agricul
ture has instructed the United States
consular agent at Guadalajara, Mexi-
co, to make a thorough investigation
of the cotton tree which f1ourishes in
that vicinity and report fully to Wash
tngton. Ii is evidently the object of
the department to introduce the tree
Into this country If possible.
The cotton tree Is said to be a native
OF the state of Jalisco, which is one of
the smaller divisions on the Pacific
side of the neighboring republic. Ac-
cording to Senor Hilario Cuevas. on
whose hacienda near Lagos it is be
ing scientifically cultivated, the plant
begins bearing when FIVE years Old and
continues to be productive for half
century or more. In some instances a
single tree has been known to produce
as much as fifty pounds Of cotton in

RENEWING THE BOUY.
The Way Man Is Constantly Being
Made Over and Over.


Made Over and Over.
1t takes but four weeks to completely
renew the human epidermis. You have
new eyelashes every five months, you
shed your finger nails in about the
same period, and the nails of your toes
are entirely renewed annually. The
white of the eye, known as the cornea,
is in continual state of renewal, be-
ing kept clear and clean by the soft
friction of the eyelids. These are few
manifestations Of the restorative pow
ers retained by man, who is less fortu-
nate than the lower animals.
Crabs can grow fresh limbs; the snail
can renew even large portion OF its
head; with eyes and feelers lizards do
not worry about the loss of tail, and
If you make a cut in the caudal ap-
pendage of some of these last men
toned creatures they will grow another
tail straightway and rejoice in the pos
session of two.
But man still possesses the wonderful
restorative little cells which scientific
men call leucocytes. They are always
coursing through the body to renew
and to defend the body from its enc
mics, the harmful bacteria Of various
maladies. These cells generate anti
toxins to kill our enemies. They do
battle for us in hundreds Of ways, and
yet the majority of us know nothing of
these great services rendered by our
tiny friends inside.

The Eye of the Soul.
Faith is a source of light to the in

what sunlight is to the eye Of the body.
It does not supplant. but rather sup
pements. reason. You might as well
suppose that man dispenses with the
use of his eyes in using a telescope as
that he discards his reason in using the
instrument of faith. Faith guides you

found consciousness of Gods greatness

Paying the Debt to Humanity.
1t is my belief that we should not
even spend our money as we desire
without first considering the rights
and needs of mankind. Man owes ev-
erythin@ to humanity He is under
the most serious obligation to stop and
! listen to the cry Of humanity. He
should spend his life in paying back
the debt he owes. This can be done by
helping people to be men and women;
by lifting them up to the spiritual life.
Industrial poverty is a moral problem.
The poor should learn that the aim of
life is not money, but to be men and
women. We need to make men and
women as far as possible what they
ought to be. Along these lines the
world is made better. The only way
to get rid of the poverty of the world
is to teach the poor to be men and wo-
men.-Rev. DR.. Minot J. Savage, Uni
