FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Household Chemistry.

A working knowledge of simple chemistry is most valuable in the re moving of unsightly spots on garments that seem hopelessly spoiled.
 A stain caused by an acid requires an alkali to remove it, while fading from alkali needs an acid to neutralize and restore it.
 Acid stains come frequently from the precipitation of the body, while one of the principal causes of alkan stains is found in the potash, soda or even borax used in laundry work.
 The best treatment for goods faded by an alkali is to dip carefully in q weak solution of vinegar and water, experimenting until the right strength is reached. x An acid stain is more difficult to re move, but soda and water will usually prove effectual.

 In the history of tue station. 56s lives have been saved by the several crews To this station is due the novel feature known as "capsize drill. 's It had been regarded as impossible to right the life-boat when once capsized at sea. Caught and overturned on ona occasion, the Northwestern boys right~ cd ship and regained their seats. From that time "capsize drill'' haa been q regular feature of the servica training.
 The Northwestern crew quite prop erly holds the worlds record, turning the boat over. turning 1t back and rel gaining their places at tho oars--alI In 1e seconds.

Founder of Bethel, Once Poor, Has, Farms, Horses, Furniture and

Spencer, Mass.-Farms, buildings, horses, furniture. farming tools, live stock and money have been given to the. Rev Essex W. Kenyon, of Hills vilIel founder of the Bible students community known as Bethel The young evangelist started a few years ago penniless, and now has thousands of dollars worth of property. He said that it all came to him in direct an- swer to prayer.
 "The divine gospel of St Matthew says:s Ask and it shall be given unto you. interpreted it literally as the whole Bible should be interpreted, for it is all reality prayed for a farm, and it was given to me by Deacon John M Marble of Sutton I wanted more buildings in which to lodge my Bible students and in which to locate my Bible school. and these, too, were given me- Once, needed $50. I prayed for 1t, for had no money, and in less than an hour woman came to me and eve me a check for that amount Again wanted $10o .. pay expenses. was just starting my community of Bethel asked God to send the money It was no more than an hour before another woman sent mo an envelope containing exactly $100.
 'I would not pray vaguely for help, but If I wanted a farm or hdrse or a building or a sum of money would say so in my prayer, and all these things would be given me. We take no collections We do not present our needs to the public, nor even to the church. We have lived by faith in God alone"
 One of the many rules and regu1a- lions of Bethel reads: "No familiari- ties, love-making or going out together between men and women"

] The year 1899 was the record year. From II wrecks 102 persons were saved by the university crew The most hotable instance of the year Is the wreck of the steamer Calumet, enl route from Buffalo to Chicago, Caught by contrary winds, she was driven toward Chicago. First sighted by tho lookout at II o'clock on tha night Of November 27 of Highland Park, 1t was not until noon of tho next day that the rescue was effectpal- ly begun. Too fsrsouta to be reached by shot and line, captain and crew braved the fury of the storm and
 made three trips in the surf-boat, say-
 ing every member of the crew18 In All-there being no passengers on

 The sinking of the Lady Elsin in 1860 is tragedy fraught with thrill- ing Interest. .sa The ship noundersd In tfierce gale and the sailors, swept by the icy surfa awaited their fate while crowds on the shore looked on helpiessly. Youthful nerve and fear lessness, however. conquered. On horse and foot a number of students made their way to the wreck and rescued many lives The prsss spread the news over the country and the government taking up the mattsr. of fereds to furnish the equipment and to provide. remuneration If the univsrsi- ty would organize or sanction the or ganizing of student crew.
 This was the first and remains the only university crew in the service. The journal of the station begins with May IS. 1879. on which day the passing vessels numbered 44--eight barks, 30 schooners and six steamers--a mea- ger portion of the number that are now told in a day.

Table Linen.

When an accident happens at the ta- ble and the tablecloth or napkins are wet see thatJ they are hung up until they become perfectly dry before put ting them away in a close drawer or closet. If this rule is followed there will be fewer tablecloths ruined by mildew. Towels from the bathroom, too, should always be thoroughly dried before they are placed in the clothes hamper This care should always be taken, but especially so during the hot weather It is a great saving if one can have line stretched in an unoccu- pied room, where the clothes may be hung while waiting for the weekly wash instead of being thrown directly into the hamper to lie in their moist condition for a week or part of a week.

to suit the individual taste and the box placed where it would be most easy to reach. The idea of the inventor is to sfasten the chest, as 1t might be called, on swinging brackets just outside of the Kitchen window, where it would be handy to reach. After the article want ed has. been removed from the chest 1t can be pushed back against the wall out of the way.
 Another very great advantage is that 1t can be used in winter as we'll as summer, as in winter the cold air would be sufficient to keep fresh all perishable articles.

Vinegar will keep the hands white and smooth and prevent chapping when exposed to the cold air after washing in hot or soapy water. Be fore drying the hands rub over them a teaspoonful of vinegar, and the relief will be very great

Hens as scavengers.

The hens save much loss on the farm by finding and appropriating material that might go to waste. There is a large annual loss of grain at times of harvesting, thrashing and bagging, and this is all saved by poultry. Small po- tatoes and turnips, seeds of grass and many other articles are converted into poultry and eggs.
