The band of King's Daughters extends far and wide over the surface of the glol>e, and the little silver badge has become fami- liar everywhere. Karnest women and girls assume it with a knowledge of its require- ments, willing and ever eager to assume the responsibility that it calls for, the pledge of work it demands : hut others ap- pear to look on it as a pretty ornament, and membership an the fashionable thing of the hour. A young lady, in urging a com- panion to assume the badge, recently said : " V ou know it is all the rage, "as if it were the but French fashion or social fad. Such frivolous words, wlulu they cannot injure an order that has done so much good, are in themselves shocking. It would be well if all orders of this kind would demand a definite showing of work, and would drop me.nlwrs who failed lo do their work, or who join societies solely because they are tho " rage."

Its ultimate object was the opening up of the Katanga region, wh:ch is upposed to be rich in copper, quicksilver, and gold. It is questionable weather Msiri's country is within the British sphere of influence or that of the Congo State, and the Katanga' expedition was probably intended to antici- pate the activity of the British South African Company to whose jurisdiction this unappropriated territory is believed to belong. That Katanga is a wealthy region p articularly in the mutter of copper mines there seems no doubt. Livingstone, who travelled mucn between the two lakes, B ingweolo and Macro, makes frequent re- ference to these local resources, and the working of the mines has beeu described in detail by several travellers.

The process is merely aiinointing with cod liver oil every night.

Moth Preventive. A very simple way of preventing moths from laying their eggs in a bureau is to un- cork a bottle of chloroform a few minutes in each drawer; or, better still, drop a few drops of the liquid in the dnwer itself. If a garment is properly brushed and well wrapped iu newspaper moths will naver go near it, as they seem to h:>ve a greiat dislike to tho press. Tho little black cricket is more destructive to clothes in the summer than is tho moth itself; moreover, he cats anything nnd everything, and as he attacks one's everyday wearing apparel it in impos sible to drive him away with powder or bad smell*.
