CLEANING IVORY BRUSHES.

Ivory -baCkeU bTuSheS are so Ila- ble to get soiled and spotted even with the greatest care that many people will be glad to know how to clean them properly. Spots may be removed by the application of a paste made of sawdust slightly damp ened with water and a few drops of lemon juice. The paste should be laid on the ivory and allowed to dry thoroughly It can then be brushed off Another plan Is to dip small bt of flannel into table salt and rub with this.

In using any polish, use old stocking legs for cleaners; first apply literally. practically scrubbine the wood with the mixture. after which rub thoroughly dry and polish with a clean cotton cloth. Unless this is done, the dust settles on the grease and clings rather tenacious ly, making future work even more difficult.

VALUABLE KNOWLEDGE.

When lace curtains become old. there is always danger of their be- ing torn in washing. This can posi- lively be avoided, if the curtains are handled lengthwise. but not a curtain from the side edge. Try it and be convinced. Many who have old curtains which they wish to preserve because of their beauti. full patterns will rejoice at having made tho attempt. This is simple. but valuable

HELPING CHiLD's DISPOSITION. Few people realize that child's ideas and ideals are generally fram- ed from association with older peo- pie.
 If one is taught contentment by the ones in authority, usually the child is more or less influenced by the example rather than words. A child can easily be shown the beauties in "every day. things. thus cultivating contentment and appre- citation of their surroundings. It seems to me that much good comes of the belief that the Fairy lives in almost every place and watches for the happy little children and no harm can come of the re- wards that are left by the good Fairy in the flower houses built in her honor.
 But nothing can keep child hap py unless the other members of the family are cheery and blessed with patience for the shortcomings and mistakes of the little folks.
 A happy and care-free childhood is something everyone should feel
 is a child's right, and none of us are too poor to at least make an ef- fort to give them this greatest of all gifts, cheerfulness and content ment

UNIVERSAL CITY.

The newest city in California made it's debut March Is and bears the name of the heading of this article. r @ population to start with was 15.- 900, larger than of any other city at the start. It covers an area of 800 acres. There is but one indus try in the city, the making of nov ing picture films by the Universal Film Manufacturing company. If that fails the city will be for sale with some great bargains similar to those deserted cities about mining camps when the ore is exhausted. They have installed in this munich pality all the latest wrinkles known to motion picture making. They have erected entire villages within this city and have created many odd and strange things that will prove a revelation to it's many visitors
 Universal City is but a few short niles from Los Angeles in the San Fernando valley. located in the foot hills of California, where every kind of natural scenery required in nov ing picture work is available.
 This is the first time in the his tory of the moving picture business that the general public is being given the opportunity of seeing how nov ing pictures are made.

New York. June 14.-Low priced special ties in which public support has at no time been keen were the features of to- days market to the neglect of standard stocks. In fact, with the exception of United States Steel, the usual leaders wropped into the background, even the erstwhile war contract" issues being relatively inactive and heavy.
 Sugar shares were up to points on the increased foreign demand for the new product Coppers were backward, despite reported sales of the refined metal at 201&c for domestic consumption with the new high price of cents for lead.
 Railroad stocks were variable when not heavy American Can sold at the new high record of 47ss.
 Sharp recessions occurred in the last hour The one exception was the so- called Virginia debt certificates. which rose from 5s, it's price earlier in the morning, to T, on announcement that the United States supreme court had de- cided the long litigation between Virginia and West Virginia in favor of the former.
 That the foreign exchange situation IS again acute was seen in the decline of demand sterling to 4771a, new low record for these remittances to London.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

quiet as the little spot referred to in the lines above and which constitutes it's greatest attraction now. at least to one.
 Taking refuge under the spreading boughs of friendly oak from the rays of a June sun. surrounded by the silent little city of the dead. peculiar feeling of awe swept over me as I thought of those whose forms we're forever hidden from human sight and doubtless in many cases forgotten. as many of the mounds were overgrown with briars and weeds. sunken in. and the cheap crude boards the only markings. had orumhled away.
 And I thought of the time when these graves stood opon to receive the ones now confined within the narrow walls and of the sad. grief-stricken loved ones and friends who had gathered to perform the last solemn rites, with tear-wet faces and breaking hearts they had pressed for ward to look for the last time at the features now to be hidden until God shah call them.
 But the yeass have swept by and per- haps those who had gathered here are scattered far and wide and swallowed up in the seething, struggling maelstrom
 
 sunRen, dilapidated condition of the grave bearing a mute and protesting testimony i to that fact
 Just over there, within separate en- closure are several members of a family well known to the writer, family of wealth and well known in the state. and yet notwithstanding all that, tho resting places of those loved ones show unmis- takahle evidences of neglect and forget fitness
 Away up there in an obscure corner. almost hidden by vandal growth of bushes. with no costly stone to mark the spot, just a simple mound of earth, yet bearing evidence of simple care and loving remembrance that, too are unmistakable.
 As I glanced at the weather beaten old church, also showing the ravages of time and perhaps wilful neglect. l thought of a time almost a score of years ago when its walls echoed with the shoutings and praises of happy people, a consecrated. God-loving and a God-fearing people. now grown cold and listless and almost life- less having strayed off after false and misleading isms, and almost if not quite forgotten God.
 | A sad picture of the fickleness of hu- manity But there is a brighter side to the picture. and my heart was filled with a great joy when l learned that n new preacher had. with the tenancity and ag- | gressiveness of earlier years, undertaken | to restore former conditions and was meeting with remarkable success in what would seem to be a hopeless case. | Allow me to say. in conclusion, that I believe that man who accepts and la bors for the restoration of a church like | that, with it's herculean tasks, deserves and will receive far richer and sweeter reward in that day to come for his la bors than his supposedly more fortunate brother. with his fine church and re- munerative salary. Because his work Is | one of conseoration and love. R. F. LACKEy. | Birmingham. June 14.. SSi0 Avenue F.
