Appreciated Advice.

Good counsel, thankfully received,
may not always be interpreted ac-
cording to the preachers intent.
An "American pioneer" of 1912
gives an account of a sermon which
resulted in an understanding far
more to the delectation of the hear
er than of the one who delivered it.
A good Swedish minister gathered
a company of Indian chiefs and de-
livered to them a discourse on the
subject of sin and its consequences.
He enlarged upon the story of Ad-
am, Eve, the apple and the fall. His
language was vivid and picturesque
and made a great impression on,the
red men. At the end of the sermon
an Indian orator rose and said:
"What you have told us is all very
good. 1t is indeed bad to eat apples.
1t is better to make them all into
cider. We are much obliged for
your kindness in coming so far to
tell us these things which you have
heard from your mother"

A Long Distance Telegram.

Sir Robert Ball, the famous as
t%ronosner, in talking about the dis
lance of the stars once said that a
telegram sent at the usual speed of
kilograms over the wire would take
seventy-eight years to reach the
most distant star that the telescope
enables us to see. But the camera
has revealed stars that the telescope
has not, and some of them are so
distant that if a telegram had been
sent to them in the year THAT is
to say, 1907 years ago-it would
only now be reaching its destina-
ton. Only by some such illustra-
ton as this a we form any concep-
ton of how far away the fixed stars
are.-Chicago News.

Value Of FulIer's Earth as a Cleanse
Of Delicate Fabrics-Notes.

One Of the most valuable cleans
ers for delicate fabrics is fuller
earth, and yet comparatively few
women use it or know about it. Its
cheapness and the ease with which
it is applied and removed should
commend it to all, and then, too, it
is quite safe.
For cleaning white and the deli
cate pastel tints as well as other
colors it may be applied with IA vel
vet covered brush or pad or "a piece
of old and soft Turkish toweling.
Whichever is used, it should be dip
ped in the earth and the material
rubbed, taking care to rub with the
nap of the goods in the case Of
broadcloth and satin or other fab
ric having a decided nap. For broad
cloth a stiff fine flesh brush will be
found excellent.
Straw hats intended for use an
other season or to serve as stop gaps
between the laying aside of ones
winter hats and the spring Gre
atoms should be brushed with full
er's earth and a fine, rather stiff
scrub brush. If one have any skill
at applying trimmings, these should
also be removed and cleansed and
put away with the hat in a dust
proof paper bag or a trunk or box
until required.
Oftentimes the lace and velvet or
ribbon used on one hat serves to
trim another. Such trimmings
should be removed as soon as the
hat is done with, carefully cleaned
and laid aside.
