Furniture Poiisl,.

To polish the piano and remove the
blush color caused by the action of
the damp air. apply 4 drop or two of
sweet oil and rub the surface thorough.
ly with a bit of clean, soft chamois

of one scant ounce of linsced oil, full
ounce of turpentine and three-fourths

the first.-The Commoner.

TO ascertain whether or not a room
IS damp about couple of pounds OF
fresh lime should be placed therein
after hermetically closing doors and
windows. In twenty-four hours 1t
should be weighed, and If the lime has
absorbed more than about one per cent.
of water the room should be consid-
cred damp. and classed as unhealthy.
The question of the dampness of dwell.
ings is frequent cause of dispute be-
tween landlord and tenant and is nat
urally solved in the negative by the
former. The question can be settled
in The future by the test of the hydra.

A Life of Self.Abneuation.

The Rev. DIR. Josiah Strong draws
this picture of the blessedness OF self
sacrifice. He says: "The life of self
,abnegation does not attract you. A
cathedral window seen from without
is dull and meaningless. But enter.
and the light Of Heaven, streaming
through 1t, glorifles 1t with every
beauty of form and color. Consecra-
tion to God for service may seem dull
enough when seen from without; but
enter into that experience, and the
light of the divine love. streaming
through it, shall glorify your life with
beauty and blessedness which are
Heavens own"

A Homemnde Antinne.

A woman whose desire for beautifuI
things quite outstrips her pocketbook
created from an old square piano case
a magnificent library table. The works
of the instrument had become abso-
lutely worthless. so they were taken
out. When the piano was closed 1t was
tight box of rosewood. The front
piece was taken off. and a pine drawer
was fitted in with the front piece for
the front of the drawer. Two old
fashioned glass knobs We're screwed
into the drawers for handles. The legs
were beautifully carved, but were of
course too long, so they were sawed off
to make the top come TO convenient
height for n table. The whole thing
was polished highly, and the result
was table that could not be bought
for S100.

Horror!

The superintendent Of department
store in Brooklyn which caters q
great deal to the German trade tells
the story of woman who came to
the store the other day and admired
large basket of .shamrocks which
were on sale. She stared at them for
long time and finally asked the
saleswoman what they were.
"shamrocks.' replied the sales
woman.
"They are very pretty" replied the
woman. "but haven't you got them
In red ?"-New York Times.

For clearing and cleaning plate glass
rouge is most generally used by glass
manufacturers. White oxide of zinc
is also good, and when the glass Is
set in frames, is preferable to rouge for
the reason that the latter, IL II should
come in contact with woodwork, is very
difficult TO remove. Either may be had
ut most any drug store, and is applied
on damp cloth rubbed on the glass
and let dry, then polished or with q
very soft, dry cloth or soft chamois
skin.

Tho Way We Do Thinga.

Rev. f. B. Meyer says: KNITTING
needles are cheap and common enough.
but on them may be wrought the fair
est designs in the richest wools. SO
the incidents of daily life may be- COM
monplace in the extreme. but on them
as the material foundation we may
build the unseen but everlasting fab
ric of noble and beautiful character.

do, but the way III which we do it
matters greatly"

General Gordon, the hero of China
and likewise of Khartum, based his
life upon four rules: Forgetfulness of
self, absolute sincerity, indifference to
the worlds judgments, absorption in
the will of God. These four rules abide
as guide-posts on the path to great
ness, but the greatest of these Is sur
render to the will of God.-Pacific

God, by whose breath supernal,
My fire of life doth burnl
Great God, to whose eternal
Essence ! must return!
Thou Silence, strong, unbroken,
In which my voice must drown!
Bestow on me some token,
Before time drags me down.
Grant me some sign, or proving,
That / have grown to be,
In doing, or in loving,
A soul more fit for Thee.
Fair in the heavenly city
The happy spirits shine.
All, Christi Thy gentle pity
Is all l ask for mine.
Is all l ask or offer,
Blind with my starting tearsy
Nothing have / to proffer
For all my surging years.
From yesterday or morrow,
This only did / win
Comfort-I said-my sorrow!
But now--forgive my sin!

Believing prayer increases the power
of God in some mysterious way, SO
that God can work in tho mind and on
the heart of person prayed for more
powerfully and more effectively than
IL the prayer had not been offered. Be-
lleving prayer Is the touching of the
button which completes the circuit and
so sets free the unlimited power stored
up i'll God for the accomplishment OF
the purpose of the prayer.

Courtesy to Wnnnen.

A young woman, says a correspond
ent, who was passing the evening with
the family of Lord Coleridge, the emil
nent English jurist, was about to start
for her home at 10 o'clock when he
offered to accompany her. She, with
the respect due to his ages and with
the fearlessness Of youth due to ig-
noranCe of the dangers surrounding
young women, said: Il thank you, sir,
but do not want to trouble you. Can
not the maid accompany me?" His
manner showed the respect in which
he held all women. He said, MY
dear, the maid is a woman also" If
all men were so truly courteous there
would be no complaint on the part Of
women that they do not receive the
treatment they should receivesfrom the
opposite sex.

mems taste in neckties," says n
New York haberdasher, ais the most
tickle thing imaginable. You can new
er be sure Of it. 1t often happens that
a scarf pattern which has tremendous
run for a year or two is reproduced
after a few seasons, and no one wants
to buy it. On the other hand, a de
sign you could hardly give away this
year may become the craze next year.
Why, no one has ever been able to dis
cover. One year men will revel IN
red scarfs and the next will have moth
ing but greens or blues or puppies.
Talk about womens taste in dress be-
ing uncertain-man's is more so. Out

1.-The scientific Justification for add
ing milk to tea" says the Dietetic and
Hygiene Gazette, comes from the
facts that the fannie acid contained in
tea combines with the albumen Of the
milk to form tannate Of albumen,
which is practically leather. BY drink
ing tea alone the coating ofathe stom-
ach is made leathery. But when, milk,
which contains albumen, is added the
molecules Of fannie acid select their
affinity Of albumen from it,, and as a
divorce is unknown to tannates of al
Ibumen the lining Of the3stomach3is less
liable to be affected by the fannie acid
than it would be if the tea were taken
alone"

THE EGG DANCE.
A Curious Easter Custom of Ancient
France--A Royal Romance.

A Curious Easter Custom of Ancient
France-A Royal Romance.
In very ancient times u most curious
Easter custom prevailed in France.
Wooing lads and lasses would come
forward as applicants for the egg and
matrimonial dance" A hundred eggs
were arranged OH a level sward spread
with sand, and all the young tenantry
selected their partners to dance on the
green among the eggs.
The story is told by an old chNanfcler
that Philibert, duke Of Savoy, was out
hunting and, being in the neighborhood
Of the beautiful palace Of Margaret Of
Flanders, called to. pay his respects to
her. All the tenantry were dancing on
the green, the eggs were laid, and the
lovers were treading a measure Of the
national dance amid them. Few there
were who managed to dance through
without breaking some Of the Obstruc-
tons. If they succeeded not even the
may" of the parents prevailed to break
up the match. 1t was an evidence of
the intentions Of Providence to smile
on the union.

the local candidates called at a house
found that the voter was out and in
Quired Of the wife, You think he will
vote for my candidate, do you not?"

man. HE has been promised a new
