They cost her a third more than the same
kind OF towels for sale at shops, and the
work was done none toe well, even though
the friend who offered to do it was re-
garded as expert.
The same woman bought pillow tubing
and made a set of pillow cases because
she was told that they would not only
wear better. but look better after leaving
the laundry. They were expensive to be-
gin with, and were concealed by day un-
der a sham matching the bed cover, and
as she was passing through a trying ex-

Among the bargains which caught her
eye, one day, were two German table
cloths Of soft, fine linen with a faggoted

existence of machine-stitched hens. but
she instantly saw remedy for those and
purchased the cloths which were real
bargains.
With tiny scissors she removed the
even stitches and replaced them with
others that she knew would be better
after the cloths were washed and ironed.

were beautifully turned and the first

TRADE FOLLOWS THE CROSS
By FREDERIC J. HASKIN
By FREDERIC ]. HASKIN.

Out of this beginning has grown a con
siderable number of spinning mills in
China. Missionaries in the New Hebrides
discovered the arrowroot of which the
natives knew nothing, and the annual
trade is now worth several hundred
thousand dollars. How trade has pene-
trated into darkest Africa through the
opening made by the great missionary
Livingstone, is known 10 all the world.
That the interior and remote reaches of
China are being brought closer to the
ports by traffic IN foreign supplies is di-
rectly due 10 the missionaries; for by
their agency alone was the demand for
foreign goods created in those inland
places.
Trade follows the cross. That fact can
not be disputed. but at the same time the
commercial set and the missionary set
in any Oriental port have an entirely
different point Of view and are often at
.loggerheads on local questions The mis-
sionaries in Japan, for instance, are near
ly all so thoroughly pro-Japanese that
they partake of the fanatic loyalty Of
the natives themselves TO the imperial
government. The commercial foreigners
unanimous In their criticism of japanese
methods and practices. X was the mis-
sionary influence which was largely re-
spOnsible for the revision Of the treaties
which in 1889 brought Japan into the
most favored nation class. This re-
vision was bitterly opposed by many Of
the commercial class.
But differ as they will, the missionary
realizes and admits that commerce has
given him the means to come TO the land
where he is working for the advancement
of his holy cause, and that he owes much
20 the presence Of the foreign commercial
spirit. The business man, also, IL he be
fair viii confess that 1t was the mis-
sionary who first created the tiny de-
mand for foreign trade upon which has
been built the great superstructure OF
the import business OF the Japan OF to-
day. And most business men in the East
VIII say that the money spent on mis-
sions has been more than repaid in ad-
vantage to commerce. leaving out of the
question the results in education, civil
iZation, and Christianity

Most children are born spendthrIfts,

gentle art of persuasion to influence
them In cultlvatlng the habit OF saving.
Many methods were tried with my
young son, says Sada Ballard in Good
Housekeeping. but the confectionery
store proved more enticIng than trick
animals, banks, musical combinations
ana the general run of things held out
to Induce the small boy to hoard his
pennies. At lust hit upon happy

the pennies were dlscernlblc and get

many he had the child learned to
count. Then he took great delight in
saving TO see how many the bottle
would hold. When 1t was full n larger
hottie was provided. with the contents
OF the small bottle for nest egg, and
now the boy is proud OF his large bot
tleful OF pennies ready to be put In

Furniture Stains.

A knowledge OF how TO make and
apply furniture stains and varnishes
Ia valuable TO II young housekeeper
whose income is limited, for with
slight practice 1t Is often possible to
make artistic pieces OF furniture out
of plain white wood chairs. tables, etc.
In making very dark coloring Il
half pound of madden and two ounces
of logwOod chips should he boiled
gently for an hour In gallon OF wa.
Ter. This should then be strained and
applied to the wood while hot. II
should be put ON evenly with flat
brush The finish requires pearl ash
solution that Is made by putting two
drains OF the ash into II quart OF wa
ter. This Is not applied until the stain.
ed wood is dry.
For light shade two ounces Of
bruised dragons blood are put into n
bottle with quart OF turpentine. The
Jar Is corked aud placed III n warm
spot. near or on n radiator, Is shaken
occasionally until the blood Is dlssolv.
cd and then applied with brush.
The other mahogany stain is apt to
be understood best by those who know
something OF mixing colors. Raw sien
na Is ground and then mixed with
beer. thus making light shade.
Then burnt sienna that has been
ground is added in proportion to the
tint wished and put on rather thin
with soft brush. wiping 1t over i'm.
medlntely with piece OF cotton OF
other soft substance
When quite dry the surface may be
oiled or vanished. Cold drawn llnseed
oil Is good varnIsh or polisher. To
stain new piece Of furniture Is sim.
pie work for an amateur, but success
Is not 80 certain when all old chair or
table is to be renovated. However.
doing over an old piece would not be
difficult If 1t were understood that the
wood VIII not take new stain until all
the old varnish. whatever It may be, Is
removed.
The easiest way of getting off the
old finish Is to put on saturated solu.
tion of sal soda-that Is. as much soda
as can be dissolved in water. With a
suff scrub brush this liquid should be
applied while hot. so 1t Will eat of the
surface coat. A stiff scrub brush Is
best for putting It on with.
Then the article must be allowed tc
dry before the new finish Is applied.
