Wt Useful u Medicine and
Far
Many Other Purpoeee.
Salt cleanses the palate and eTer
ti tongue, and a gargle of salt and
water is often efficacious. . A pinch
of fait on the tongue, followed ten
minute afterward bj a drink of
cold water, often cores a rick head
ache. Salt harden th gums, make
the teeth white and iweetens 'the
breath. Cut flowers may be kept
fresh bj adding fait to tht water.
Weak ankles should be rubbed with
a solution of salt water and alcohol.
Eose cold, haj fever and kindred
affections may be much relieved by
using fine dry salt like snuff.
Salt rubbed into the scalp or occa
sionally added to the water in wash
ing prevents the hair falling out.
Feathers uncurled by damp weather
are quickly dried by shaking over a
,fire in which salt has been thrown.
Salt always should Ik? eaten with
nuts and a dessert fruit salt used. If
twenty pounds of salt and ten
pounds of nitrate of ammonia be
dissolved in several gallons of wa
ter and bottled many tires may be
prevented. By splashing and spray
ing the burning articles the tire is
soon extinguished, because an in
combustible coating is formed.
SUin on Marble.
To take ink stains from marble
make a paste of soap jelly and pow
dered unslacked lime. Let it re
main for several weeks, then scour
with unslacked lime, soft soap, hot
water and a brush. To remove stains
of long standing from marble mis
together one gill each of soapsuds
and ox gall and half a gill of tur
pentine, then add as much finelv
powdered pipeclay or fuller's earth
as will form a stiff paste. Apply
with a brush. Allow the mixture
to remain for two or three days,
then wipe it off. Repeat the opera
tion if necessarv.
To Clean Books.
Ink spots or writing may be re
moved from a book by applying spir
its of salts, diluted with five or six
times their bulk in water, which
may be washed off in two or three
minutes with clear water. A solu
tion of oxalic, citric or tartaric acid
will answer the same purpose, as
none of these will affect the print
ing. Grease spots may be removed
by laying powdered pipeclay on
both sides of the paper and applying
an iron as hot as may be without
scorching the leaves.
To Wash Delioate China.
The proper way to wash delicate
china is to have two bowls, one with
warm soapy water and the other
filled with cold water to rinse them
in. Take the cups and saucers one
by one and wash them in the warm
water, rinse well in the cold water,
then let them drain on a board or
tray. I)ry the china with soft
linen cloth to give it a good polish.
Washing Flannel.
,The secret in washing woolens is
no to let the articles get chilled.
Wash in warm suds, do not rnb the
soap on, the irticleg, , anjj .rinse in
waters all of the same temperature.
Do not hang out in the cold sir, but
injra even temperature and dripping
while hung. After ? drying, flannels
should be finished Dy folding! It is
better not to iron.
Hemming Sheet.
n hemming tablecloths, napkins.
shVets and towels betrin to hem
about an inch from the end and sew
toward the end. When you reach
the, hem turn back and hem in the
usual way to the opposite end. . Do
not break your thread here, but sew
back an inch. This greatly strength
ens the ends and hems of the ar
ticle. Cleaning Bottles.
Some pepple use, shot with which
to clean the inside of vases, fruit
jars and narrow necked bottles, but
raw rice has proved to be better for
this purpose. Pour some water and
raw rice into a bottle and shake
well. This is especially good for
cut glass vases, as the rice polishes
as well as cleans.
Deviled Ham.
Cold boiled ham that is not much
cooked is nicer for this or for broil
ing than the raw ham. Dip the
slices in dissolved butter or oil until
coated all over, sprinkle lightly with
curry powder and broil with a clear
but not too hot fire, turning fre
quently. To Keep 8toves Clean.
Save all pieces of beeswax. After
t the day's work is done rub a little
wax on the top of the stove with a
cloth. The heat will melt the wax
V1 and will remove stains and leave the
;,6tove bright and clean. This is
..s most excellent and simple.

and others. It Is plalu that eating ills
flesh and drinking His blood Is equlva
lent to believing In Him or receiving
Him. In other words, the great and
only work required of the sinner Is to
receive niru who c:ime down from
heaven and gave Himself for us. Ue
is the corn of wheat which fell Into
the ground to die that It might bring
forth much fruit (ill 24). the bread

unleavened bread on which alone Tje
soul can feed, the gift of God the Fa

Another definition of believing or r?
celvlng Is "Coming unto Him" (verses
35. 37, 44, 45. 60). Compare Matt iL
28, and contrast John v. 4a That lie
lS a gift the gift of God. see verses 27

H Cor. U, 15. That this life Includes
the resurrection of the body see verses
SO, 40, 44. 54. But having noted all
these and more, bow shall we grasp
or appropriate It all?
What can be more simple than for a
hungry man to receive and eat that
which Is set before him and then in
some way express his gratitude? But
oh. that does not set It forth! Wretch
ed and miserable and poor and blind
and naked, the whole head sick and
the whole heart faint only wounds
and bruises and putrifylug sores from
bead to foot; unclean and clothed with
filthy rags (Rev. 111. 7; Isa. I 5, C
Ixlv, 6), these are some of His own
words which describe our condition.
What does He offer to such? All that
s king can offer, and that King the
Creator of all things in heaven and on
earth. He came down from heaven
and became one of us. sin excepted
ue became a poor man, earning a llv
log by working at a trade: He taught

SQch as has been described ever be

to save such and to share with them
ay His glory. When any one sees his
guilt and helplessness and from the

Forgiveness of sins, life eternal, names

which the-Father has given to Christ
bestowed freely upon us. and yet the
poor blinded sinner will not believe it
to be true, but stands off saying: "How
can I get it? What must I do?" Is It
not fearfully manifest that the god of
this world bath Minded the minds of
them which believe not lest the light
of the glorious gospel of Christ who
is the Image of God, should shine unto

Some remarkable stories are being
told about town and among the
country people coining in ot this
simple home-made mixture curing
Rheumatism aud Kidney trouble.
Here is the recipe and directions (or
taking: Mix by shaking well in a
bottle one-half ounce Fluid Extract
Daddeliou, one ounce Compound
Karagon, thrre ounces Compound
Syrup SArsaparilla. Take as a dose
one teajspoonf ill after meals and at
bedtime.
No change need be made in your
usual diet, but drink plenty of -good
water.
This mixture, writes one authority
in a leading Philadelphia newspaper
has a peculiar tonic effect upon the
kidneys; cleansing the clogged-up
poreH of the eliuiiimtive tissues, forc
ing the kidneys to sift and strain
from the blood the uric acid and oth
er poisonous waste matter, overcom
ing Rheumatism, Bladder and Uri
nary troubles in a short while.
A New York druggist who has had
hhndredti of calls for these ingredients
since the first announcement in the
newspapers last October stated that
the people who once try it "swear by
It," especially those who have Uri
nary and Kidney trouble and suffer
with Rhematlsm.
The druggists in this neighborhood
say they can supply the ingredients,
which are easily mixed at home.
