FOR THE QUIET HOUR.
MIRACLE WORKING POWER,

I saw a miracle this morn
The sunrise in the Eastern sky!
The radiance babe the night mists Fly,
And bathed the world in golden dawn,
Code artist touch, with silent might,
I saw d miracle to-day
Sweet violets IN a messy dell!
Whence came their fragrance Who
could tell
How scent was drawn from common elayg
Gods chemistry from earth distilled
The fragrance which their chalice filled!
I saw a miracle tonight
As darkness deepened more and more,
Like w~atch-fres on q distant shore,
Gods sovereign arm those orbs upheld,
And to the earth their light impelled!
Thus all day long I plainly saw
In Nature marks of deep design,
The presence of a power Divine,
Obedience to q higher law.
The world revealed that God Still
Beyond tie ken of human thought.
So from my heart arose this prayer.
Like wreathingi smoke from altar fires:
20 Lord Divine, my heart desires
Thy miracles of Grace TO share!
Bid sins dark night transformed be
And Heavens own light illumine me!
"And. though nv earthly lot be found
Mid ~teardewed Wales Of lowliness,
Inbrsathed by Thine own holiness,
With fragrance may my life abound!
Upheld by Thee midst darkening night,
May I, too, shine with Heayen.born
light"

Cleaning Silk Skirts.

The manner of washing or clean
ing the new silk skirts now SO gen.
erously worn is quite a problem. The
proper treatment for a skirt is to rub
it gently between the hands in luke
warm water, in which white or CASTLE
soap has been dissolved. Squeeze
the water out with moderate pres
sure and rinse in tepid water. 1t is a
good idea to add to the rinsing water
a few drops of coloring matter the
color of the skirt. This coloring can
be obtained Of a druggist. and as
washing always robs silk of some
amount of its brightness, this addi-
ton will be appreciated. Iron when
damp, first placing a thin piece Of
muslin over the silk.-Washington

A Useful Hint.

When oilcloth has been down for a
few months ard is losing it's shiny
surface it can be renewed easily, and
it will last twice as long. Melt a lit
tie ordinary glue in a pint of water,
letting it stand on the top of the
oven until it is dissolved, Wash the
oil cloth thoroughly and let it dry.
Then at night, when the traffic of the
day is over, go over the whole thing
carefully with a flannel dipped in the
water. Choose a dry day for it, and
in the morning the glue will be hard,
and will have put a fine gloss on the
oilcloth.-New York Journal.

Put Away Garments.

Beeswax broken in pieces and put
within the folds of white woolens or
silks will overcome the tendency to-
ward yellowness that white fabrics
have when laid away any length of
time. Garments that are kept folded
because of lack of hanging space may
be made to forego their Partially for
creases if whole newspapers are
placed on them, the paper and the
cloth being folded at one and the
same time. Papers laid between the
folds have the same effect.-Wash-

MANIAC KILLS HIS

Michigan Man Runs Amuek

ST, tking Tragedy
Kills His Wife, son and Father-in.
Law and in Turn is Shot Down
by Neighbor Whom He Had
Attacked With an Ak.

Munica, Mich. Henry Scutcheon, a
farmer about so years old, living near
| this village, on Sunday ran amurlS
with an AK. killing his invalid son, his
wife and her father-in.law. Sritcheon
was later shot by Henry Mcclellan,
neighbor whom the crazed mur.
derer had also attacked.
The Scutcheon farm house had ap.
parently always been happy home,
except for the cloud which the sons
recent sickness cast over the family.
On Sunday, with no warning so far
as Is known, Scutcheon suddenly muir.
derously attacked his son with an ak.
He crushed the boys head frightful.
ly When his wife interfered he
turned on her and pursued the fright
ened, screaming woman from the
house to the road, where he knocked
her down with his weapon. He then
rushed back to the house and muir
dered his father.in-law.
Next he tried to destroy himself
The maddened man gashed his throat
and wrists with razor and took
some paris green. His wounds did
not weaken him and the poison did
not take immediate effect.
AK In hand he returned to the road
where he had felled his wife few
moments before. The first blow did
not kill her and she had been carried
into the house of Henry Mcclellan
near by, Mcclellan rushed to an
other neighbor's for help.
When Scutcheon found that his
wife was in the Mcclellan home alive,
he smashed a window with his ak,
jumped through 1t and again attacked
her. This time he crushed her skull
He then left the Mcclellan home and
returned to his own house, but when
Mcclellan returned from his search
for help, the craZed man came out
and started over toward him, saying,
II want you, too"
Il will shoot II you come across
the road.' replied Mcclellan, who had
armed himself with shotgun.
Despite the warning Scutcheon
came across. Mcclellan thereupon
shot him dead.
