To Dust Room.

To properly dust room 1t must be thoroughly done, and that means care fully done. feather brush or a tur- key wing is excellent for brushing the backs of pictures and one of the best wall clusters Is a clean cotton mop. The furniture is dusted before the chaiFboard and the floor. One of the best dusteFs is a cotton cloth ,wrung out of turpeRtine and dried. It aceu- muIates all dust, does not scatter it and brightens the furniture. Woolen cloths are best for the chairboard and floor When using polish. old stocking legs are good for applying the polish or polishing the wood. The cheap cot ton ones contain little lint. are soft and serve well for this purpose. Win dows may be dusted with a clean feath- CT brush, though cheesecloth Is good for polishing them; also soft tissue paper or cFumpIed newspapers. If heavy furniture cannot be removed from a room, protect the pieces with sheets. A soft whisk broom answers spIendidly for cleaning upholstered pieces.

The Church Cure for Druakards.

There is a positive and more important phase Of the relationship between the church and the drunkaFd. This is in the de- pertinent of therapeutics rather than that of justice. From a scientific standpoint. rell- gious conversation Is recognized as by far the most efficacious cure of alcoholism. Hypnotism and other forms of suggestive therapeutics are second in efficacy. and physical cures third Were it necessary the church could eclipse the patent medi- cine advertisers with the thousands of tes' timonials which might be procured from alcoholics cured by religious conversation Every church in the land has upon its ron members who have come into the new life from the depths of drunkenness. The bus mess of the missions in the slums of large cities is mainly the spiritual cure of drunkenness
