Bow to Clean Straw Hats.

Almost any old hat, unless it Is too
disreputable in appearance, can be re-
furnished and made to do extra duty
between seasons or on rainy days, thus
saving the new one, besides occasion
ally affording change in headgear.
Black straw hats, it is we'll known,
can be blackened and much improved
in appearance either with shoe black
ing or with the blacking that is now
made especially for hats, and that may
be obtained at most o. the department
stores.
A solution of oxalic acid applied witt
q stiff brush and q fresh ribbon or =
bunch of flowers will do wonders fol-
the old white straw hat.
For a black hat of fancy braid, into
which the dust seems to be hopelessly
ground, try the following method OF
cleaning: First pin it out fat on q
board, using pins enough to hold il
steady. Brush it thoroughly, then with
a nail brush rub on a solution of alco
hol, water and a little ammonia, and
allow it to dry before taking it off the
board. If, after this treatment it is
not a good color, put on q coat of hal
backing.

First to Refuse to Obey.

Mrs. Sarah J. Harper Starr, Of Bel
levue, was buried Tuesday in the fam
lily mausoleum at Zelienople, Pa, and
most wonderful life was ended.
Mrs. Starts marriage in Cincinnati
on May 90, 1S4a, IS of historical i'm
portance IN ecclesiastical circles. Miss
Harper was sixteen years old and had
been studying in college with vieTI
to missionary life in foreign lands. DR..
Starr, young pnysici:.n, was studying
toward tie same end and the couple
decided to wed.
Miss Harper had ideas of her own
on the question Of the word ''obey' in
the ritual of the church, and decided
that for her it should be eliminated.
She found a friend in the Rev. Maxwell
Gladdis, assistant pastor Of Morris
Chapel, Cincinnati, who promised to
omit the word during the ceremony,
and she was ma lied, but friends were
inconsiderate enough to say the mar
riage was invalid and at the next meet
ing of the general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church held in
Cincinnati the clergyman who had
omitted the word was "churched."
Finally the question became gener-
al and later when decisive action was
taken the sentence serve and obey"
was ordered stricken out Of the matri-
monial ritual OF the discipline of the
Methodist Church. The Methodist
Protestant Church took the same action
later.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

also is to be avoided, because it gives
the cloth a dull, dead look. If a brush
is used, it should be SOFT one, but it
is better not to use any, except in
cases where the olcloth las been long
neglected or poorly washed for some
time previously.
Take q clean flannel cloth and APPLY
clean, warm water, which is finally to
be removed by soaking it up into the
washing cloth again after it has been
wrung out. The oilcloth ie then wiped
dry with another piece of clean flannel
or coarse crash.
OF course, an oilcloth, with frequent
washings, will look old, and the house

Gods Plan For Us,

There is a work to be done in us, In
our own hearts and lives, which is even
more important than anything else as
signed to us in the scheme of the
worlds activities, says the Rev. DR.. j.
R. Miller. There are lessons which we
can learn much better in the quiet
shaded sick room than outside in the
glare of the streets. Our 'shut-in days
need never be lost days. Whatever,
they may cost US in money or suffer.
ing, we need not be poorer when they:
are over than if We had been busy all
the while at the worlds tasks. We,
need only to accept Gods way and 60
as He leads, and in the end we shall
find that not in the smallest matter
have we ever been unwisely led, but
that every step He has brought US to
some good.

Artistic Scrap Basket.

The pretty brass and copper basins
which our students bring home from
abroad and which are frequently to be
picked up in the foreign quarters of
large cities, make excellent receptacles
for scraps.
The scrap box OF basket as sold in
shops and fancy goods departments is
seldom in accord with the other fur
nishings of a modern library or living
hall. Yet as something of the kind is
really necessary in q room much used,
it is well to visit japanese dealer
and see what can be found.
Indian baskets or any sturdy weave
of grass and twigs good in shape and
color make another hint, and jars of
green pottery with wide open mouths
decorated or undecorated are worth
thinking about

Building Power of Confidence.

We cannot help one in whom we
nave no confidence. Therefore we must
have confidence in many one who
gives little evidence Of being worthy
of our confidence. And 1t is always
possible to find something to build
upon, and to build with. in the most
unpromising of our fellow-creatures.
1t takes power, of course, to discern
the glimmer of worth in that which Is
debased and unworthy. Campbell Nor
gan. when expressing his confidence in
the redemptive possibilities Of men. in
terrupted himself with the question,
Then you don't believe in total de-
pravity?" Yes" was the answer, but
I believe that the thing depraved is a.
great thing" What was made In Gods,
image can, by the Saviours miracle!
be restored to Gods image. There is
the ground Of our confidence.

The Great Teacher.

Christ is familiarly known to us as
"the Great Teacher" The earliest i'm
preston made by His person and la
bors, the name which spontaneously
rose to the lips of those who were
brought into actual contact with Him,
was. Rabbi; that is, teacher. Even
those who were teachers themselves
felt that He possessed pre-emiEenr
qualifications for teaching. I'VE know
that Thou art Il teacher come from
God" Nineteen centuries testify TO the
power and success of His teaching.

THE SUSTAINING HAND.

The little child who wakes at night ::
Affrighted at the somber gloom,
And clamers for ray of light -.
To drive the darkness from the roodk
To quiet dreamland sweetly goes,
Contented, if a hand is near,
Caressingly, because it knows
There 10 no terror it need fear.
So we, who stumble through the glooms
In aimless manner seeking light, -
Will blindly wander to our doom
If travelling by our own might.
But when in darkened paths we stray
And cry aloud, the Father hears
And reaches out His hand to stay
Our apprehension and our fears.

Sunday morning service, and said:

this work actively and actually. I
would give anything to have some liv-
ing part in the work that is going on
here next week in winning men and
women to Christ, but do not know
what to do ! said, My sister, are you
prepared to give the Master the five
loaves and two fishes you possess?
She said, I do not know that have
five loaves and two fishes I said,
Have you anything you have used in
any way specially? No, she did not
think she had Well said, can you
sing? Her reply was, Yes, sing at

an entertainment We'll, now,' said,
let US put our hand on that. Will you,
give the Lord your voice for the next
ten days? She said, I will shall
never forget that Sunday evening. T.
asked her to sing, and she sang She
sang the Gospel message with the voice
she had, feeling that it was poor
worthless thing, and that night there
came out of that meeting into the in
quiry room one man. That man said to
me afterwards that 1t was the Gospel
song that reached his heart; and from
that day to this-that is now eleven or;

The Canker of SIM,

No one need lose that early, dewy
fragrance Of life, if he would keep fast
hold of the innocence and Conscientious
ness of his youth. 1t is, not age that
makes life bitter, weary, cynical; it 10
the canker of sin that creeps in with
the passing Of the years. So long as,
one can keep his life and his thoughts
orderly, pure, loving trustful, so long
will existence retain for him its per-
fume and gladness. There are men
and women who grow old in years, but
never in feeling or outward expression.
The inextinguishable joy of youth con-
tinues with them unto the end. The
freshness of life does not wear OF.
They are as glad, ardent and unafraid
AS children, and all because they have
kept their house of life in order. Right
eousness-therein lies the secret Of an
optimism, happiness and peace. We
must keep righteousness, or we must
return to it, no matter how forespent
with evil, il we would feel the sun
shine of joy upon our lives.-Ram's
Horn. ... !
