DIGGING EoR nArA.

Something ought to be done" said
a woman recently. ito restrain that
large and growing class OF people who
bubble over with the modern idea OF
improving the human race by delvins
into our private histories, our health
our morals and, worse than that, into
the history and health of our ances-
tors. II we don't protest for our
selves we should for the sakes OF our
forbears. who cannot rise up them
selves to protect their microbes and
peccadillos from this twentieth CEN
tury craze for data. Tie members Oh

with things they call family record

with these upon unoffending people.
requiring them TO put down in black
and white their diseases and the dis
eases Of their progenitors for genera
uons back. In itself this perhaps is
not so bad. People can safely assume
that their ancestors were human and
liked to talk about their ailments and
wouldn't mind having II done for them
by proxy. But this business OF digging
for data won't stop here. And IL won't
be long before we shall find ourselves
compelled to give up all we have been
concealing about our ancestor who was
hanged for sheep stealing and the
other one who drank himself to death"

FOR THE WOMAN WHO DOES
HER OWN IRONING.

HERE is a good suggestion OF two
for he woman who does her own
ironing. First OF all, be sure that you
are dressed comfortably A loose and
thinner blouse than is usually worn is
OF much advantage in keeping cool
When the work IS completed change
70 the regular apparel and the chilly.
uncomfortable feeling. so common
after a days ironing, will be avoided.
II there Is a big days work have an
old cushion upon which 70 stand. No
one knows how much II win rest the
tired feet unless Il has been tried
The irons should be clean and
smooth. The board should be covered
with a cloth in which there are no
seams or patches, as these make shiny
strealSs or creases in any garment
pressed over them. which is especially
undesirable in fine linen or wool
goods An old flannel sheet is n very
good covering TO tack to the board, and
a light cotton one for a removable COW
er as It can be easily washed.
A piece OF beeswax tied up in rag.
10 rub quickly over the bottom OF the
natiron. will keep Il smooth and the
iron will glide over the clothes more
readily. especially II they are starched
ones.
In pressing good or clothes where
II is customary TO place n cloth over
them before ironing use a newspaper
instead: It gives a gloss to ribbon or
silk. leaves no lint. stiffens cambria if
II is slightly dampened and when
scorched tho newspaper can b
thrown away without loss and a fresh
ono procured.
n seams are pressed over n broom
stick or any rounded edge. caro- being
taken TO keep them straight, there
will be no shining streak 10 mark their
length, as IS often the case when the
pressing Is done upon a nat surface
as nothing can strike the wood but the
point Of the seam.
A bosom board for flne shirts should
be very smooth and but thinly covered
Some laundresses use marble board
but we cannot all afford that.
Work that IS very fussy Is nowadays
when convenient. taken to a regular
laundry. and blessings indeed are
these institutions to the tired mother
who has all the work she Is able to do
without being burdened with doing ur
'ha best blouses and froclSs

COMMUNICATION
WITH THE CHRIST
Evangelist Says Every Man
May Obtain it For Him.
self

"A Personal Message from Jesus"
was the subject Of the Rev. George G.
Mahy's talk in ST. Paurs NJ. Z. Church
last night. Mr Mahy said in part;
"we are told that in former times
God used to speak to men by prophets,
but that in later times He has spoken
to us by his Son. The lesson drawn
from this striking fact is this: we
ought, therefore. to give the more earn
est heed to the things which we have
heard. lest at any time we should let
them slip In His instructions to His
disciples Christ said: What I tell you
that speak ye. What ye hear i'm the
ear that proclaim
There is such thing as direct COM
munication between Christ and the
human mind. There is personal
revelation OF Christ. which every man
may receive for himself. It IS this
personal revelation with Christ which
enables a man TO overcome the deadly
spiritual inertia which threatens him.
20 conquer the sin which so easily be-
sets him, and to Danish the doubts
which constantly .assail him.
There are three suggestive words
in our text. In the ear Before
YOU can hear anything spoken con-
ndently in the ear there must be
some conditions met by you.
First, there must be a willing mind,
"a prepared mind. II is only the in
strument which is tuned TO receive the
wireless message, which gets it from
the sending instrument. There must
also be a quiet place. And then when
thou prayest, enter into thine inner
chamber and when thou hast shut the
door, pray 10 thy Father which is in
secret. And thy Father which seeth
in secret shall reward thee openly
There must also be close attention.
Men need to concentrate their best
eAIn need 10 concentrate their best
thought on the revelation which their
best friend desires to make TO them.
1T is only this sort OF communion
with Christ, which gives birth to high
resolve and a passion for righteous
ness.
