SLOT MACHINES.

They Were Used During the Time
and Reign of Rnmeses.
A correspondent Of the Boston Her.
aid writes: 1T is true there are few
things new under the sun. Air BEDS or
what we call pneumatic beds. were
usel by tie Romans before the Chris
tan era. The most remarkable duplica-
ton of an old invention Is the nickel
in.the-slot machine. This was first
used during the time and reign Of Ram
escs, In the eighteenth dynasty Of
Egypt, for the purpose Of supplying
holy water, that which had been bless
ed by the priests. to the people who
desired 1t. The machine was urn shap-
ed, with q small cylinder inside,
through which ran a rod connecting a
valve ut the bottom Of the cylinder
with one at the top. These were oper-
ated by lever, which closed the bot
tom valve while opening that ut the
top, when the cylinder would fill with q
flxel amount of water. To obtain the
water cup was placed at the outlet; a
coin Of three drachmae, equal to about
Is cents of our money, was dropped
into the slot Oh to scale pan in the
end Of the lever. This opened the cyl
inder at the top and closed the lower
valve, allowing the coin to slide of, the
weight of water closing the top valve,
opening the lower one and allowing the
water to run into the cup. This is the
basis Of all patented slot machines Of
the present time and dates back to
nearly 1900 B. c."

Timely Suggestions.

One of the best preparations for tax
ing out grease stains is made by q mix
ture of one pint of deodorized benzine,
one-half drachm each of chloroform and
alcohol and little good cologne. Apply
to coat collar and black garments with a
piece of silk. In washing solid black
goods, use one tablespoonful in each gal
lon of water. It will not injure the
most delicate silk fabrics.
Grease can often be removed by re-
peated applications Of blotting-paper and
French chalk to the wrong side of wool
en- goods. Grease upon Competing can
often be removed by washing the spot
carefully in hot soapsuds.
Lukewarm water and fine soap will
remove fats from fsst-oolored woolens,
while tar and wagon grease will yield to
lard rubbed on, then s0aped and allowed
to lie for an hour or so. Afterwards
wash alternately in water and spirits
Of turpentine.
silk goods, In the main, can receive
the same cautious treatment that Is
given to woolens. Fats may be treated
with benzine, ether and soap In very
weak solution. Turpentine should not
be used upon silk, unless IL be black silk.
A current of water falling from height
upon the reverse side of the spot will
help 10 erase it. Whatever applications
are made, care must be exercised in re-
gard to leaving an outline Of the stain,
which must be rubbed with soft cloth
while drying.
Right here 1t may be said that kerosene
oil will erase fresh wagon grease, and
that machine oil yields to cold sospsuds.
Alkalies arc removed BY diluted acids.
while aoids require harshorn.

UNDER A HAYSTACk.
THE Scene of Famous and Eventful
Prayer Meeting.

THE Scene of Famous and Eventual
Prayer Meeting.
The most famous prayer meeting ever
convened in this country was held In
tie summer of 1906 on the grounds of
u farmer adjacent to Williams college,
Williamstown, Mass, says Leslie's
Weekly. 1t was held by five students.
They were querying what they could
do for the benefit of mankind. A thun-
derstorm occurred, and they took ref
usc under n haystack and continued
the meeting. Seemingly the students
alone for the time being knew of the
meeting. For years the place was I'M
marked and the event uncommemorat-
ed. But those students originated the
foreign missionary movement IN this
country for the benefit Of all lands and
peoples. Subsequently Williams college
acquired the property, named 1t Mis-
sion park and erected a monument
commemorative Of the great result. 1t
consists of shaft Of granite twelve
feet in height, bearing globe three
feet in diameter. representing the
world. The legend on the shaft Is,
"The birthplace Of American Foreign
Missions" Underneath are the names
of five students who had part In the
rleoting-Samuel J. Mills, james Rich
ards, Francis L. Robbins, Harvey Loo,
mis- and Byram Green. This memorial
Is an object of interest to every visitor
to Williamstown, and at every com,
mencement religious service is held
beside it.

SELF CONTROL.
II In One Of the Projections of the
CeutIenan.

II In One Of the Projections Of the
Gentleman.
A gentleman is gentle, slow to sur
mise evil. slow to take Offense and
slower still to give 1t. A gentleman
subdues his feelings and controls bis
speech. It is sometimes said Of q man
that The can be gentleman II lie
wants to be-" but man who can be
gentleman when he wants never
wants to be anything else, says the
Pitts5urg Press.
In the cultivation of courtesy self
respect must play prominent part.
We must never pass for more than the
value we place upon ourselves. To re-
spect others we must first respect our
selves. Whittier said, Il felt that
was in the world to do something, and
I thought must"
One of the projections Of the gallant
man lies in the supremacy of self con-
troll. Herbert Spencer, speaking OF this
important attitude of man as moral
being, said, "Not to be impulsive, not
to he spurred hither and thither by
each desire that in turn comes upper
most, but to be self contained, self
balanced, governed by the joint de-
cisIon of the feelings In council as

shall have been fully debated and
calmly determined-that 1t Is which

strives to produce"

White ReinS.

The early summer and early autumn
are the seasons of the year when driving
is most pleasant. In spite of the auto
mobile craze there are many people who
still love horses, and are always looking
for something new In the line of harness
and other leather accessories. For the
young woman who likes to be smartly
turned.out when driving about the coun-
try in her phaeton or basket wagon,
there is nothing newer and more dis
tinctive as finishing touch than white
reins. These reins first became fashion
able in the south of France last winter,
where nearly all women who drive them
selves use them. They are generally
used with russell harness, but they may
also be used with black harness with
silver mountings, when the effect is very
smart. Of course it would be extremely
bad form to use these reins in winter, as
they are only meant for use when driv-
ing in summer wagon. They have an
informal air unsuited to the less spon-
taneous atmosphere of city. Needless
to say, they must preserve an immacu-
late appearance.-New Idea.

DR.. Somerville Hastings lecturing at

"Cleanliness Is Next to Goodness"
said that people were much cleaner
now than in the reigns Of Queen Mary
and Elizabeth, when the washing Of
clothes was unknown. Cotton was
hardly in use, and linen was expensive.
The poor wore rough wooden garments,
which were never washed, and the bet
ter classes adorned themselves with
silks and velvets, which were dyed
when they would no longer pass mus

corded, continued DR.. Hastings, that
