the Sahara, is about as large as the
United States and Alaska together.
The sand areas in the desert arc some.

Desert by No Means All Sand.

The French, who have been the
greatest explorers of the Sahara des-
ert, have corrected many false ideas
about the desert. The most conspicu-
GUS and persistent OF these errors has
been the notion that the desert is
vast area of sand. The French have
proved that this is not so. In fact,
only about fifth Of the Sahara is
covered with sand.

Removing Stains.

Corn starch will remove stains from
the dinner frock or party gown. One
woman dropped grease on a delicate
colored silk frock and put corn starch
thickly on the under side, hung up the

of grease remained. When the same
woman forgot her shields and came
home with perspiration stains she
treated them to liberal bath of corn

THE DOCTRINE OF PuReA1oRy.

THE DOCTRINE OF PURGAToRY.
From articles and correspondence
which appear in the Church of Eng
land newspapers it is clear that the
dissatisfaction with the state of doc
trine in the church which Anglicans
feel at present is more acute than
usual. Unrest has been extending
amongst them. Many of them have
been reading Catholic books and are
i'll at ease owing to the questions the
reading has suggested. They are very
anxious to be considered Catholics,
but there are obstacles in their way
which cause them serious troubles
says The Times and Opinions of Liv-
erpool.
Some of the Anglicans frankly &C.
knowledge their difficulties, and win
respect by their obvious sincerity
Others exert their ingenuity to escape
from awkward positions. For in.
stance, the trend of Anglican opinion
is now strongly in favor of the doc.
trine of Purgatory; but there is arti
Gle XXIL, which affirms that "the
Romish doctrine concerning Purgatory
is fond thing vainly in
vented" Is not this an insuperable
obstacle? By no means.
A correspondent of the Church
Times has discovered that it is not
Purgatory that is condemned, but "the
Romish doctrine concerning Purga
tory" Is not the word purge" used
in the Commendatory prayer for the
Soul at the point of departure from
this earth? Therefore, of course, the
Church Of England believes in Pur
gatory.
Thus argues an Anglican rector. His
style of argument is symptomatic Of
the condition of mems minds in the
Church of England.-Boston Pilot.

favorable reception. Night after night
the house was crowded with gorgeous
