Whitewash

The following rule for preparing whitewash which is used by a large factory, may be found useful. Have ready one barrel of onslaked lime and add, while slaking it, three pounds of glue and three pounds of suet, tallow, lard or bacon cut in small pieces. The heat of the slaking will dissolve the fat, which acts like an oIL Add also a pound of alum and six pounds of salt Half a pound of borax can be added later. Bluing may be added when the whitewash is used, allowing about one tablespoonful to a pailful. The whitewash should be prepared three or four weeks before using, as it improves with age, unlike most mixtures of the kind. Stir it every day up to the time of using. It has been used on outbuildings and wears well.

Potato Parings Useful

It will seldom or never be necessary to clean stove or furnace pipes if all potato parings are saved and thrown on the fire. A gas Is formed (that cleans the flues of all soot. —National Magazine. By Inspecting the canned fruit occasionally the housewife will be able to save any that has begun to spoil, by carefully removing that which Is tainted and cooking the rest over, recannlng It as In the start When paring vegetables, especially the humble tuber and odorous onion, slip over the forefinger of the right hand a kid finger cut from an old glove. It will save the hand from an unsightly stain. *

Essence of Good Cooking

The essence of good cooking lies in four things: the ability to preserve, develop, improve and vary the flavor of foods. The French excel particularly in the art of verifying the flavor. A small piece of meat suffices them to make a whole lot of vegetables redolent of it. Conversely, they use all sorts of vegetables to impart their unique flavor to meats —in soups, stews, sauces and the water in which meat or fish is boiled. The combinations and variations are endless. An English epicure declares that the secret of the excellence of French cookery lies in the lavish use made of vegtables. “Where we use one kind the French cook uses twenty.”

A nice home-made candy for the children Is made as * follows: Boil two cupfuls of sugar and one cupful of corn syrup until crisp when dropped In cold water.

The cobs from table corn can be dried for kindling or fuel, although the cattle enjoy chewing them when fresh and tender. Clothes horses .make excellent screens.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE; IS IT REASONABLE?

"Come Now, Let Us Reason Together, Seitb Jehovah." Remarkabla Growth of Thi* Cult—lts Adherents—Their Realization of a Supernatural Power—An Outgrowth of Present Condition*—Are Its Teachings Logical?—Perplexing Problems.

gan with the statement that what a man believes is his own business, and not subject to public criticism; but that when a body of people associate themselves, publish their doctrines to the world and invite members, they lose the Individual privilege, and their doctrines are open to public criticism. But doctrines aloqe may be criticised; and they should be honestly treated, not misrepresented. The Pastor then traced the remarkable growth of Christian Science. Its appeal to a very intelligent class or people—a well-to-do class, of considerable mental independence. So far as he has conversed with Christian Scientists, he finds that physical healing seems more or less associated with their conversion to their cult Either themselves or their friends have been healed. Their realization of the cure convinced them that there is a supernatural power outside of man, and aroused religious sentiment such as they had never before known. Bewildered Christendom. The reason for this is that nominal Christianity Is merely a form of godliness, without power or conviction, which has spread to such an extent that the whole world is styled Christendom—Christ’s Kingdom. Additionally. during the last fifty years a sincere class of Christians have been greatly perplexed because of the stupendous nonsense, intermingled with Truth, which was handed down to us from the Dark Ages. Under the increasing light, thinking people could not swallow some of the monstrous statements oil the creeds as readily as did their forefathers; and each denomination has found it necessary to say little about Its creed. Thus people are bewildered as to the differences between the various denominations; and many have concluded that the only difference is In forms, ceremonies, etc. The doctrine that God had foreordained 999 out of every 1,000 to an eternity of torture in fire became too horrible to believe. The alternative doctrine, that God did not foreordain matters thus, but had not the wisdom or the power to avoid such a eaten-, trophe for His creatures, became equally repugnant Consequently preachers began to tell that the destiny of humanity was not literal fire, but gnawing of conscience, etc. —each preacher manufacturing a Hell of his own. Under these conditions Christian Science was bom. Three things especially favored it: (1) its acceptance of the Bible; (2) its rejection of everlasting torment; (3) its teaching of Divine healing. Mrs. Eddy, its acknowledged bead, had a keen mind and considerable wisdom in its exercise. She held to the Bible, though she perverted Its teachings. She laid stress on healing, and settled all doctrinal difficulties with the dictum that there is no evil, there is no sin, no death; that what have been so called are merely errors of the mind. The very absurdity of some of these statements advertised -them. At first people said. Absurd! Later they said, We will see how Christian Science explains death, sickness, pain, sin. Thus curiosity led them into the metaphysical labyrinth which Mrs. Eddy had constructed. Having* no intelligent knowledge *f the Bible, they were in condition to fall an easy prey to “Mother Eddy’s” errors. Is Christian Science Logical? The Pastor then discussed some problems which Christian Science presents to all logical minds. This cnlt declares that there is no death, and that whoever dies merely commits “mortal error.” The fact that for six thousand years mankind have died Is surely against this theory- If everybody commits “mortal error,” everybody dies. Even “Mother Eddy” finally succumbed. The speaker wondered what solution Christian Science offers for this problem. Again, if disease is error, if death is the greatest of errors, and if the escaping of “mortal error” —death—brings everlasting life, how do our Christian Science friends expect to get everlasting life,/ when at the last moment of their trial they make failure? The corollary would be hopeless death to all. In this conclusion the Bible agrees: “The wages of sin is death.” Sin brings “mortal error”—death. v. But the Bible logically points oat God’s provision in Christ for mankind’s recovery out of this death condition by a resurrection from die dead. (1 Cor. 1021, 22.) Those who deny that there b death necessity, deny that Jesus died, and hence deny the Ran-som-Price given for the world's sins.

Binghamton, N. Y., April 25.—Pastor Russell’s discourse here today was based upon the text, “Come now, let us reason together, salth Jehovah; though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.” 108. The sermon be-

The Gas Stove

Let me give you a few bints about the proper way to treat your gas stove if you would have it last for many years. Keep all gas stops closed tight when not in use, so that none of the fuel will be wasted and accidents from escaping gas will be avoided. If the stop in the connecting pipe is turned off when the range is not in use no fuel can possibly leak out. Turn the gas into the main pipe at least three seconds before you attempt to light the gas in the open burner; this Is to ailbw all the air to escape and assure a flow of pure air. When the burner is a double one light the outer circle first and allow the inner circle to ignite from that flame. Gas should burn clear and blue. If It is yellow and starts off with a roar there is air in the pipe. Turn off the “stop” and then turn It on again, allowing a flow of gas for a second or two before applying the torch. As soon as food that is being cooked comes to the boiling point turn the gas down to half its full strength and the liquid will continue to boil gently until the food is cooked. When using the oven the burners should be lighted at least five minutes before any food is put in. This insures a steady temperature and perfect cooking.

Open Your Windows

Don’t sleep in a closed room. Fresh air is the basic requisite to good health. A sealed chamber is a breeding place of disease. The lungs utilize all the oxygen they breathe and expel their impurities in your exhalations. Within an hour a man consumes all the oxygen in the average room. If the windows and transom are down and the door is shut therefater he breathes foal poisons. Rural communities should, by reason of natural advantages, be practically immune from the white plagne, but statistics show a greater percentage of consumptives among farmers than any other class of people. Who isn’t familiar with the deadly parlor, with its stale atmosphere, where for days at a stretch whole generations of malignant germs are permitted to incubate undisturbed! A week often passes without the admission of sunlight. As well spend an afternoon in a smoke-lined tunnel as remain in such a pesthole. Open the windows even in the rain. Far better to spoil a few trumpery lace curtains and spot the carpet than to jeopardize the health.

Variety in Food

When the average American or Englishman travels he is glad to see new cities, new scenery, new costumes and new faces; but he is comically Indignant if he can not get the same food he has always at home. It would be much better if he could be made to understand that Cowper’s maxim, “Variety’s the spice of life,” applies to diet as much as to anything. Every country has something to give and teach us regarding the pleasures of the table. No other land yields such a lavish and varied supply of raw material as the United States, and all we need in order to become the leading gastronomic nation is to wake up to the importance of good and varied cooking and rational eating, and to learn all we can from nations famed for their culinary art. The methods of obtaining the diverse national food flavors can often be studied without traveling abroad, since in our cities we have cooks and restaurants of nearly every land under the sun. In New YoTk one can mak- a gastronomic trip of the world.

Drinking Milk

The family physician tells ns to drink milk slowly; sip It, taking at least five minutes to drink a tumbler ful, taking about one teaspoonful at one sip. When the milk reaches the stomach it is instantly curdled. If you drink a large quantity at a Hm» it curdles into one big mass, outside of which the juices of the stomach can not do its work. If it Is taken in little sips each sip Is curdled by lb self, and the glassful forms a loose mass of curds, which are easily percolated by the stomach juices and easily digested. Many people who like milk do not drink It because they say it gives them indigestion. Most of them could drink It freely if they would take it slowly and regularly. * '

Clean Bureau Drawers

A woman noted for her careful housekeeping has the inside of all her bureau drawers painted white and then treated with a coat of creamcolored enamel. This, she declares, is more sanitary than any lining pad could possibly be, and when cleaning is necessary all that, is required is to wipe them out With a damp cloth. Wonld it not be a good idea to treat pantry and kitchen shelves in the 1 same manner, also cupboards and side, board drawers and shelves? Perfect cleanliness would then be assured. ~ ~

To Clean White Fur

t White fur can be satisfactorily cleaned at home by heating a cupful of flour in the oven for a few minutes, taking care not to let It burn, and with a piece of cotton wadding rub bing It Into the fur when it Is hot. First lay the fur flat on a table or ironing board. Let the flour remain in the fur for two or three hours, then shake it out. _ You will have spotlessly clean furs once again. Before chopping raisins rub a little butter on each side of the chopping knife. . ,_U

Choosing

*T admit that lam undecided, 1 * said Margaret’s father as he paced twice across the room and came to a pause with his back to the mantel. “You cannot remain undecided long,” tftfd Margaret’s mother. Margaret tweaked the Angora kitten’s ears and said nothing. "They are both desirable,” continued Margaret’s father. “It seems to me that the problem is to fix upon the one that Is the more desirable. It means providing our little girl with a companion for life.” “And they both come to your office today? That was funny.” “No, It was not funny. It was a coincidence, but it was net fnnny. Ponderson came in heavily, parted his coat tails carefully and sat on the edge of the chair I offered him, smoothed his thinning hair and after his embarrassment talked carefully and, well. He has a great deal to offer a wife; he Is moderately successful, has a nice home, is a deacon In the church and Is of a kindly disposition.” “But he always looks so sad,” said Margaret’s mother. "I know. That is because of his tender heart. Be has had heaps of trouble. He worshiped his father and his father died. He loved his mother and she was a bedridden invalid on his hands for years. He very seldom smiles but has u beautiful smile when he does smile.” “What do you yourself think of Mm?” “1 admire and like him immensely. No one can help liking Ponderson. He is young, ton, just the same age as Harlor, though be appears to be ten years his senior. “It is a hard problem,” he concluded, lamely. “I’m stumped.” “And what did you tell him?” asked Margaret’s mother. “I told him I would talk It over with you. He seemed anxious, but not hopeful, when he left He must have passed young Harlor in the elevator as he went down.” “Mr. Harlor is different.” “Some! No embarrassment about Harlor. He breezed Into my office, seated himself on the comer of my desk and ‘put it to me’ as he expressed It He has money, which was left to him; he has more than the average share of good looks and he knows the pink section of the newspaper from the first to the last column. Ido not believe that he said anything about loving Margaret; but he did say that he believed she loved him and would make him mighty happy.” "Yes? How very boyish!" "Yes, almost too boyish." “But youth will be served.” "Youth will be served. But it may be better for our little girl to marry someone who will serve, rather than one who will'be served. Mr. Ponderson would never have driven his auto recklessly while Margaret was a passenger. I believe I will tell Ponderson ‘Yes.’’’ "Papa!" It was Margaret herself that spoke for the first time. “What is It, dear?’’ “You will do nothing of the kind! Am I not to be consulted? I have some interest in this affair. I have not told you the whole story about that auto smashup. We were bowling along at more than the legal speed, we two on the front seat and the bulldog on the back seat, when all of a sudden Mr. Harlor let go of the wheel with one hand and tried to kiss me! I threw back my head as far as I could and he let go of the wheel with the other hand and the next we knew we were both in the ditch, which was about a foot deep with mud, that must have saved our lives. The dog was underneath the auto flat enough for a rag and the auto had turned turtle and smashed against a telegraph pole at one and the same moment. “We scrambled np and I exclaimed, ‘Now see what you did!* *Yes,’ replied he, with a grin, ‘but I got the kiss.* ‘My dress is ruined!’ I sobbed. ‘Tha,t’s right,’ he said, ‘but I got the kiss!’ ‘And look at poor Hector!’ I cried. ‘Rough on Hec,’ replied he, *but he died in a good cause —I got the kiss!' ‘And your car is wrecked!' I told him. ‘Sure but what’s a car or two,’ he replied, ‘I got the kiss!’” “The idea! I bet Mr. Ponderson never so far forgot himself as to try to steal a kiss. If he wanted a kiss he would ask for it like a gentleman.” “Just the same, he grabbed me and kissed me when I told him about the auto accident.” “He did! What did you say to that?” “I just looked at him! And you should have seen him grove! Tie said he was sorry that he had kissed me!” “I shall say no more, daughter,” surrendered Margaret’s father. “It will make Ponderson miserable.I am sorry!” “But he is used to being miserable, papa. And I don’t know that having me for a wife will make him any more miserable than —” “You don’t mean —” “I do! You two dear sillies thought you were picking out a husband for me when 1 1 had him all picked out Mr. Harlor will soon recover. I’ll bet he tried to flirt with your stenographer.” "I did not like to say anything to prejudice Ms case, but be did. What shall I teU him? That I wil replace his dog?” “Yes, with another dog, but not with your daughter!” A ring with a glass set in It will make any little girl happy until she meets another lilUe girl with a ring that has two glass sets in it.
