THE LARGEST CIRCULATION. The dist'inction of having "the larg- est circulation in the world" belongs to the Bible. Every year we gather Trom an interview with Rev. John Sharp, the secretary of the British and For- eirfh Hiblo .Society, in (the Christian Commomwealth, more copies of the Scriptures are sold than that of any other publication. In 1894-5, for in.stance, the society alone Issued nearly a million complete Bible.s and over a million New Testaments, the ex- act total, including portions, being 3,887.R:J2. The number of Bibles. Tes- taments and portions Issued up to Mari-h 81, 1895, in over 800 languages by the society amounts to 148,3!lli,280, while those Issued by allied societies bring the total up to 231,291,824. HAD FAITH IN THE PHYSICIAN. One of the most remarkable oases of faith I have ever seen, aald a well- known physician, occurred when I was a student. 1 had a patient, an Irish- man, who had broken his lee. When the bandage was removed ana a light one put in its plaoa, I noticed that one of the pin^s went In with great diffi- culty, and I could not understand it. A week afterward, in removing the pin, 1 found that it had stuck hard and fast, and I was forced to remove It with foroeps. What was my astonish- ment, on making the examination to fin't that the pin had l)een run through the skin twice, instead «t through toe cloth. Why, Pat, said I, didn't you know that tba pin was sticking_in you I Shure, I did, replied Pat: but I thought you knowed your business, and so bald me toninis. A SHRKWD LADY.

And then, you know, it won't li>se anything in Mrs._ Smith's mouth. It is one of my principles, love, never . to do anything dj-sagreeable when I I can gst somebodv else to do it for m*. it closed. If it can be kept in the draft it will be excellent for preserving many things much longer than If kept in an ordinary safe, and a~lso secures from ants and flies. Wa«b matting in salt and water, â-  pinch of salt to half a pint of water. Dry quickly with a soft ^loth. Meat should not be placed directly upon ice, as it tends to draw the juioej^ but place upon a plate or pan and place on the ice, or as close as possible. New cushions or head-rests are made saddlelia,j; fashion, of any material, those of plush, silk or brocade tieing very handsome. A common rocker ebonized looks cosy and comfortable with both cushion and head-rest covered with tur- key red calico, which has also the ad- vantage of not being spoiled in laun- dry ing. Pads or reals for the arms of the rocker should also be covered with tbe same material. Furniture can be ebonized by using lamp-black and mixing with turpen- tine, afterwards varnush. giving two coals. The wood before being painted must be as clean as soap, sand and brush can make it; all finger marks, grease, etc., Iieing removed. We liave used this recipe and can recommend it. Try it on mantels, tables or rockers and you will be pleased with the re- sult. A box of lampblack costs but a nickel and will do a large amuunt of painting. A sure preventive of moths Is tansy. Sprinkle the leaves freely al>out your woolens and furs, roll cIo.s«'lv in news- papers and place in Iwxes. 'I'ansy was one of the much prized "yarbe" of our grandmothers, but has fallen out of sight since the advent of insect pow- >r, patent mediciii.»s, etc. A handful of tansy added to a boiling of clothes tends to bleach or clear them, and was much used tiefore the advent of Iwrax. When clranicg sba<les use bread. not too fresh, and to clean your sewing ma- chine of oil and dirt, apply kerossuet using the oil can for tbe purpose.

Many sewing machines become gumm- ed to such an extent' as to be almost ustdens are are given up. when a lib- eral use of kerosene would entirely ren- ovate and rejuvenate them. Among the many uses to whiuh newspapers can be put there is one not Jerierally knownâ€" that of absorbing the usl of carpets. Wet them in hot wa- ter, squeeze until they cease to drip, tear into pieces as large as your hand and cast over the carpet. If the broom Is properly used tbe most of the dust will be gathered into the papers. After a velvet or heavy pile carpet is swept, sponge with ammonia and water to pre- serve Its brightness. A low pine table may he made into a pretty writing table by covering the top with gree.n felt tacked in place by brass-headed nails. Paint the legs or they may be ebonized or enameled any color wanted. To restore the elastlotiy of a irane- aeated chair, wash in hot watar so that it is thoroughly soaked. Use a little soap if it is badly soiled. Dry in the air and it will be good us new. A cake of magnesia and a clothes- brush are excellent renovaters. After bru-shing a gow^l. rub any soiled spots with the maguevsia, on both sides ; hang away for a day or so, then brush again. The spots will be found to have du>ap- peared. SPOTS AND STAINS. Questions ooncernlng the various OMsna of removing sints from cotton, linen and other msiterials are to frequ- ent that a list of some of the best meth- ods Ol dealing with these blemishes will be of service to every housekeeper. Most staias can be easily removed from und- erclothing, bed and table linen, so long as the material Ls uninjui-ed. With col- ored goods, whether wool, oetton or silk, it Is different. Here susoesa will depend upon the fabric. Therefore in doubtful cjises, espcfllally where the ma- terial Is c«)tly, It is always he^t to send to a professional cleaner, liefore doing trlsls. The dyes can h« tested on pieces of the material at the oleanlnf est«bIlsbm«Bt before tbe ohemioapTs ar* used on the garment. Spots Whose Cause is Not iCncrwn.â€" For white and colored cotton fabrics-" To one quart of soap sudfl (wine meafc ure) add one teaspoonfal of ammonla.rnb the spots with a sponge, then waak with clean water. Spots Caused by Grease, Oil. Paints and Varnishes.â€" For white cotton and linen, colored woolen and calico â€" Rub the spot repeatedlj with a sponge moistened with spliita of turpentine or benzine; then lay a piece of blotting paper on it, and press with a hot iron. Afterwards, if necessary, wash the whole article in warm soap suds. Silk â€"Apply a thin paste made of magnesia and ether, let it dry ; brush it off, and rut) with bread crimibs. Velvet â€" Dab and brush tt with the pile, with a bay filled with hot sand. Spots Caused by Vinegar and Acids. â€"White linen and cottonâ€" Wash ia clean water and ammonia; tbe proper'- tions previously given of a teaspoonful to a quart would probably suffice. Col> ored woolen and cotton fabrics and aiik â€" Wet the spot with diluted anunonia and afterwards wash with clear water. Claret, Fruit and Vegetable Stains.â€" White cotton and linen â€" Wash in jav- elle water or weak chlorine water and rinse with clear Avater, or hold th* dampened spot over the fumes of sul- phur and then wash with clear water. Grass Stains.â€" White linen and cot- ton-Wash with alcohol, or clear boiling water will frequently do. If that falls use the alcohol. , C«!cred woolen and cotton fabrics and silk â€" Moisten wdib â-  solution of staple chloride, waah ia clear water, then rinse. Aniline Ink Stains.â€" White ootton and linenâ€" Wash with alcohol, to which a little vinegar has been added. Colored woolens and cottons and ailk â€" Waab with pure alcohol. Rust Stains.â€" White linen and coU tonâ€" Wash with solution of hydrocblorie acidâ€" when purchasing it state to tlia druggist that you w^ant it "chemically pure"â€" and use aa follows: First, wet the spot with very hot water, then touch lightly with the acid (using a dropper). Rinse with a clear \«ater, to which * little ammonia has been added. Coffee and Chocolate Stains.â€" All ma- terialsâ€"Apply glyoerine mixed with the yolk of an egg, wash off with warm water. Iron with a hot Iron on tlie wrong aide till dry. Pitch and Tar Stains. â€" White cotton and linen â€" Moisten the spot with spirits of turpeutine. rub well, put a sheet of blotting paper over it, press with a hot iron and wash with warm water and soap. Colored woolens and cottons- Dampen the spot rub fresh buiter or lard on it. then a strong lather of soap, and wash off first with spirits of tur- pentine, then with hot water; or apply a mixture of turpentine and yolk of egg; as soon as it ia dry, scrape it carefully, off. and wash repeatedly w ith hot water. Silkâ€" Dab the s|iot with a mixture of chloroform and ether, cover it witb liowdered v. bite clay, lay a sheet of blotting paper on, press with a hot Iron, and brush oft the (lowder. Milk and Soup Spots. â€" White oottoa and linen â€" Wash with soup suds. Wbea the spots are on tablecloths or napkinih which are about to lie washed, soap tba spots well before placing them in tb« waterâ€" after being wet, the stains ean- not be seen â€" and this will frequently suffice. Colored woolens and cottons- Rub the spot with a sponge, wet with lienzine or spirits of tur|>eutine, and place a piece of blottin)^ paper over it; press with a hot flat-iron and wash with warm water and soap. Silkâ€" Un tbe same, or -substitute ether. TO PUNISH CHILDREN. Punishuvent. it is safe to say. is usual- ly administered in anger. It is tb* expression of the parents ani^r, when he vents it on tbe child for sums mis- demsanor it may have comuiitted. It seems rather barbaric and brutal to adminlstar slaos or whippings as pun- ishment; rather deprive the child ol something of which it is extremely fond, un anticipated pleasure, or even a d«iasert. Nothing affects a child child more than seeing that those ha loves are deeply hurt by his misbehav- ior. Children, as a rule, have tender hearts, and the appearance of sadnesa or sorrow on the part uf the parent ap- Iieals to them more than all the threat* or punishments ever could. Shc>w ap- proval often when the little oue is doing good, let him see that you are plea.sed and he will learn to be proud of doing what you wish. You will be surprised at bis efforts to ple:vse you. Too much stress is placed upon this vul- gar slapping and beating by impatient and angry parents, who often punish the little ones for faults to which they know they themselves are liable, and of which they are guiltv. All children will lie naughty, and too often m(dher.s and nurses forget this.
