An Excellent Cleaning Fluid.

"The following recipe contains
nothing injurious, never takes out the
stiffness from fabrics Gas from veil
ings and chiffon) and is at the same
time a disinfectant and sure proven
tive of MOTHS" says Woman's Home
Companion for February. "Sulphuric
ether, one dram; alcohol, two drains
chlorOfOrm, one dram; oil of cloves
one dram. Three times this amount
to one quart best gasoline. The oil
of cloves may be omitted if desired
as in cleaning anything white it has
a tendency to turn it yellow. TIC
clean a dress skirt, just double OF
treble the amount of these ingredi.
ents. Mems trousers can be soaked
overnight in this, and when pressed
are as good as new. It is fine fol
ostrich plumes, as it never takes the
curl out. Be sure to shake out In
the air until thoroughly dry. Ole
laces clean beautifully with this fluid
Let the article to be cleaned lie IL
the liqnid for while, according tt
how soiled 1t Is. Articles can remain
in all night without injury to the
fabric in any way. By allowing tt
settle, and pouring off very carefully
one can use the fluid over and ove1

A True Dog Story.

A family down town having a false
crate in one of the rooms of the
house placed some red paper behind
it to give 1t the effect of fire. One OF
the coolest days the dog belonging to
the household came in from out OF
doors, and seeing the paper in the
CRATE, deliberately walked up to ii
and laid down before it, curled up in
the best way to receive the glowing
heat as it came from the fire. He
remained motion1ess for a few mo-
ments; feeling no warmth he raised
his head and looked over his Shout
ders at the CRATE; still feeling nc
heat he went across and carefully
applied his nose to the crate and
smelt of it. 1t was cold as ice. With
a look of the most supreme disgust
his tail curled down between his legs
every hair on his body saying, "Im
not" the dog trotted out of the room
not even deigning to cast a look at
the party in the room who had watch
ed his actions and laughed so heartily
at his misfortunes. That dog had
reason as we'll as instinct-Troy
Times.

When to Cry.

There are millions of little boys
and girls in the world who want to
do just the right thing and the very
best thing. But they do not always
know what just the right thing is,
and sometimes they can not tell the
very best thing from the very worst
thing, says Mary e. Stone, in st.
Nicholas.
Now, + have often thought that
there are little boys and girls who
cry, now and then, at the wrong
time; and I have asked many of the
older people, but none of them could
tell me the best time to cry,
But the other day I met man old
err and wiser than any of the rest
He was very old and very wise, and
he told me.
''It is bad luck to cry on Monday
ITO cry on Tuesday makes red
eyes.
Crying on Wednesday is bad for
children's heads, and for the heads
of older people.
"It is said that if a child begins
to cry on Thursday he will find it
hard to stop.
sit is not best for children to cry
on Friday. 1t makes them unhappy
"Never cry on Saturday. 1t is toe
busy a day.
"Tears shed on Sunday are salt
and bitter"
Children should on no account
cry at night. The nights are fol
sleep.
"They may cry whenever else they
please, but not at any of these times
unless it Is for something serious"
I wrote down the rules just as The
old man gave them to me. Of course
they will be of no use to boys an(
girls who are past six, for those chill
dren do not cry. The wise old mar
meant them for the little ones-th,
millions of little boys and girls VIII,
want to do the right thing and tn,
very best thing.

4 BoOtblack's Kindness.

jim and Bill were two horses hitch
ed to a yellow moving van. All the
morning they had gone back and
forth patiently, with only rest now
and then, but Jim was beginning to
feel rebellious. He was tired, and 1t
was getting hotter every square. Jim
was not by nature such meek horse
as was Bill, but then, too, he had not
been a city horse as long as Bill had
been. Bill knew the only way to do
was to go on and on, whether you
were tired or not. The driver had it
all to say.
By the time Jim made up his mind
to be stubborn the driver stopped to
take on an additional load.
Right there, on the curbstone, sat
a little bootblack. On the pavement
lay his torn cap, and he let the peo-
pie go by unnoticed as he rubbed ar
apple on his jacket to make it shiny
A sweet lady had given it to him
and he was just over his surprise anG
| getting ready to eat it when he look
ed up and saw Jim standing near and
looking at the apple longing1y witt
his pitiful eyes.
The little bOotblack understood
| There was not much time to think
he wondered how he would feel if ht
were that horse, and quick as fiasl
he broke the apple in two and pu
one piece in Jims mouth and thu
other in Bill's. 1t was delicious.
Jim forgot about being stubborn
as they started on, and Bill forgot hi
aching bones, while the little ragged
bootblack ran away, calling after
man with dusty shoes: "Have ;
shine, Mister" -Detroit News-Trib

What Makes a Boy Popular.

What makes boy popular? Sure
ly it is manliness. During the war
how many schools and colleges fol-
lowed popular boys? These young
leaders were the manly boys whose
hearts could be trusted.
The boy who respects his mother
has leadership in him. The boy who
is careful of his sister is a knight.
The boy who will never violate his
word, and who will pledge his honor
to his own hurt and change not, will
have the confidence of his fellows.
The boy who will never hurt the
feelings Of any one will one day find
himself possessing all sympathy.
If you want to be a popular boy,
be too manly and generous and I'M
selfish to seek to be popular; be the
soul of honor; love others better than
yourself, and people will give you
their hearts, and try to make you
happy. This is what makes a boy
popular.-The Presbyterian, Toronto.

How to Make a Good Boy.

"They all put brandy in them,''
said one.
"They all don't My mother has
never put drop of brandy into her
mince-pies since the day Rob said he
could taste the brandy and it tasted
good. Mother said then it was wrong,
and she never would be guilty of 1t
again; and il mother says a thing is
wrong, you may be sure it is wrong,
for what mother knows, she knows -
"How about mince-pies? Are you
sure she knows how to make pies
good?" And laugh went up from
group Of girls gathered around the
register of the recitation room eating
their lunch. But some of them
WINGED little when back were tossed
these words: eff she doesn't, she
knows. how to make boy good, and
isn't boy worth more than a mince-
|pie?"-Christian Standard.

A call for me,
Across the sea:
Come home; thy work is done;
The sky is clear,
But night draws near.
Embark at set OF sun.
Into the night
With spirit flight
Leaving my cares behind.
Hoping for day
I'll watt away
The other shore to find.
It is not far,
The evening star
Marks where that land begins
Whose every height
In endless light
With hallelujah rings.
My home Is there,
His love to share
Who gave Himself for me.

come, dear Lord,
IT'S heaven to be with Thee.

physician in the middle Of the night, and he
should never be depended upon as the case
