A pinch of soda stirred into milk that is to be boiled will keep it from rcurdling. To remove grease from wallpaper cover the spots with blotting paper and hold a hot iron near it until the grease is absorbed. To keep tins bright, wash well with strong hot soda and water: when dry polish with a cloth and a lit- tle powdered whiting. Before boiling milk rinse out the saucepan with a little hot water; it will prevent the milk sticking to the bottom of the pan. The juice of the pineapple is an active digestive agent. A little‘ of the fruit taken at the end of a meal is a valuable preventive of dyspepâ€" sia. ‘ To make silk that has been washed look like new, put a teaspoonful of methylated spirits to a pint in the rinsing water and iron while damp. A little soda put into the water in which dried beans are soaked will expedite the process wonderfully without influencing the flavor of the beans. Parsley may be kept fresh and a good color for several days if put in a covered earthen jar in a cool place. It will last much longer than if kept in'water. For a starch polish. make a good thick solution with gum arabic. Add a tablespoonful of this to the hot starch. 1f cold starch is required, dissolve a tablespoonful of gum in one pint of water. and use it when cold for mixing the starch. Keep a flour barrel elevated at least two inc-hos "from the floor on a rack, to allow a current of fresh air to pass under it and prevent damp- ness collecting at the bottom. Do not allow any groceries or provisions with a strong odor .near the flour barre]. To make paperhanger’s paste mix one pound of flour and one teaspoonâ€" ful of powdered alum to a smooth paste with'cold water, then pour on to this enough fastâ€"boiling water to turn and thicken it. It should be stirred briskly while the water is be- ing poured on. Varnishe-d wallpaper should be Washed With awhitewash brush and a warm, soapy lather. The brush should be squeezed slightly after be- ing dipped in the lather, and the work should be performed from the ceiling downwards. One patch must be finished all the way down before beginning the next. A hydropathic treatment of a cold in the head is more reliable than any other. It is as follows:â€" In the morning after rising and at night beâ€" fore retiring, wash the feet and legs as high up as the knees in cold waâ€" ter, then rub them with .a rough tow- el and massage them until the skin is red and glowing. Ink stains are often very troubleâ€" some to remove from wood, bust the following treatment will be found most effectual. Touch the spot with a camelâ€"hair brush or feather dip- ped in spirits of nitro, and' when the ink begins to disappear rub the spot over as quickly as possible with a, rag which has been dipped into cold water. Sufferers from asthma and bronâ€" chitis should take a teaspoonful of this remedy three times .a day, or one dose at night will greatly relieve wheezing and irritation. One tableâ€" spoonful of ipecacuahne wine, two tablespoonfuls of honey, two table- spoonfuls of lemon juice. First melt the honey, then add the other ingred~ ients. ’ I Pâ€" WHY YEAST RAISESmDOUGII. How many good housewives know ‘ and heavy, it rise, how many can tell just why? The cause of success or failure is due to the action of yeast. Yeast is a. plant, a cell so small that only unâ€" der the microscope is it visible. It is estimated that the individual yeast lplant is not more than 1-2800 of an inch in diameter. The yeast exists in three states; the resting state, as when the good housewife gets it in her yeast cake; the growing state and the sporebearing state. It is with the growing state that the housewife has to do in making her bread. When a little yeast is placed in a solution which contains proper material for food, it begins to grow by a, method called budding; that is, each individual plant puts out whole lot of little plants from itself. Thus, when it is put into the dough, the plants find food in the sugar, to which some of the starch has been changed. The yeast feeding on the materials in the dough fer- ments the sugar. producing carbon dioxid and alcohol. The carbon di- oxid accumulated as a gas in small bubbles, and the dough being sticky is not possible for these bubbles to rise up to the sur- face as in ordinary fermented liquids. The gas, therefore, simply collects as Ismail bubbles in the midst of the !dough, causing the whole mass to 'swell. The heat of baking drives off the small amount of alcohol and thus expands the bubbles of the gas, causâ€" ing the dough to rise still more. This makes the bread light and porous. It also makes it more digestible. Yeast plants grow readily in warm temperatures, and best it kept be- tween 75 and 90 degrees. If above 190 degrees, bacteria are apt to grow, giving the bread undesirable flavors. Thus dough which has been kept too long is apt to sour. Sour bread is due to the development during ferâ€" mentation of certain acids in the dough, which come not from the acâ€" tion of yeast, but from the growth of bacteria, present eitherin the yeast or in the flour. Bearing these facts in mind, the housewife who desires good bread should see that fresh yeast only is employed, a good quality of flour used, and that the dough is mixed in lclean utensils. After mixing,’ the dough should be placed in a clean dish at a temperature of 75 degrees in winter, so that the bread will rise in about eight hours. Following these simple rules, little difficulty will be encountered.

His Later Speeches Became of the Most Bitter Epithets. It is a strange omission that an adequate biography of Daniel O’conâ€" 11011 was not written long ago, says a, reviewer of Macdonagh’s “Life of Daniel O'Connell,” in the London Spectator. Whatever we may think of the “Member for Ireland” we cannot deny that his career deserves a record. In a higher degree than any politician of his time, be 'dis- played the lii-s'trionic gift; he know precisely how to capture the public attention and keep it; and he appeals to our sense of duama, apart from the vicivs which he held so pertinaciâ€" ously and advocated with such ran- corous eIOquence. Danie] O’Connell was born in Ker- ry in 1775, the son, to use his own words, of a “grazier, or gentleman farmer." But he has a characteris tic pride in his birth. When he was described by a journalist as of hum- ble origin, "The vagabond, he lies,” exclaimed O’Connell, “when he says I’m of humble origin. My father’s family was very ancient, and my mother was a lady of the first rank.” The boast reminds us of Barry Lyn. don. But however distinguished was O’Connell’s ancestry his grandfather and father were cattle dealers in comfortable circumstances, and Dani- el himself Was adopted and educated by his uncle Maurice. The boy was educated abroad, as was the custom of Roman Catholics-and learnt what Latin and Greek he could acguire at the College of St. Omer, whence he was transferred to Douai; and he left France on the day that Louis XVI. was executed, full of hatred for the Revolution and all its works. Indeed, it is said that as the English packed sailed out of Calais harbor he tore the tricolor, which prudence had forc- ed him to wear, from his hat and Full to'd'ay' pathy with the French invasion of Ireland.

How He Differs From His Cana. dian Colleaguesâ€"An. Example Worthy of Being Followed. Dr. Lapponi, the famous physin‘an to the Vatican, whose name has reâ€" cently come so greatly to the front on account of his unremitting atten- not yet sufficiently enlightened to bear tion to His Holiness the late Pope, the sun of freedom. soon dwindle into licentiousness. They may regret that O’Connell did not always preserve this attitude of mod- eration; but he was a politician who grew in violence as he grew in years, and the conflict of his career did not intensify the bitterness of his thought and speech. He chose the bar for his profession, was called in 1798, and seems to have succeeded from the very first. He was not a great lawâ€" yer, but there can be no doubt that he was a most persuasive advocate. NOT BEST OF IRISIâ€"IEMEN. It would not be difficult to find a hundred greater Irishmen than or to 'him in intelligence, patriotism and true eloquence. We would even spects, a greater and a more unselfish agitator than O’Connell. O’Connell’s acceptanzc of the famous money triâ€" Mr. Macdonagh is content.to say that it was an "income worthin earned and generously paid.” But even an agitator may live on less than £13,000 a year, and it is dif- ficult to respect a man who flattered his own extravagance often at the expense of a famine stricken country. Disraeli’s reply to him in 1835 was too bitter, but it had in it an ele- ment of justice. ’DISRAELI’S SARCASM. "With rcgard to your taunts as to my want of success in my election contests," Disraeli wrote, "permit me to remind you that I had nothing to appeal to but the good sense of the people. No threatening skeletons canvassed for me. A death’s head and crossbones was not blazoned on my banners. My Pecuniary resourc- es, too, were limited. I am not one of those public beggars that we see swarming with their obtrusive boxâ€" es in the chapels of your creed; nor am I in possession of a, princely revâ€" enue arising from a starving race of fanatical slaves.” The words are hard, as we have said, but compare them with O’Connell’s attack and you will have no doubt which was the better hand at invective, which had the better case. The truth is, that the vituperation upon which O’Connell prided himself, is his most habitually so violent that the worst insult which fell from his lips soon ceased to have either sting or meanâ€" ing; and clearly the habit of abuse was far more reprehensible in one sworn by remorse never again to fight a duel. ' BITTER LANGUAGE. But ,in his words Wellington is "a stunted corporal,” Alvanley “a, bloat- ed buffoon,” Lynd‘hurst “a lying misâ€" creant and a contumelious cur,” Sir Henry I-llardinge "a oneâ€"armed rufâ€" fian.” But perhaps his most elegant effort was a description of the House of Lords. “They are the soaped pigs 0f society,” said he, "the real swin- ish multitude, as obstinate and as ignorant and as brutisli as their pro- totypes.” Though the words were then greeted with "great laughter and cheering,” they appear monstrous An orator who uses a mere mass of scurrilous words is like a tired man gasping fer breath. Never- theless, O’Connell had the useful facâ€" ulty of compelling others to look at him and listen to him; he also had a rare talent for attaching his people to his person. But after reading his biography we are in still greater (lif- ficulty to find an answer to the quesâ€" tion asked by Mr. Leaky, "Whether his life was a blessing or a curse to Ireland?” _.,_...-._._b.__ .-___._.

No one disputes their scien< tific skill or their unselfish devotion to their work. But they are limit- ed in their labors by one remarkable scruple. They will prescribe and experiment with drugs of all kinds sanctioned by the Pharmacopoeia or newly introduced; but where a medi- cal discovery, even when it is the life-work of a regular practising phy‘ sician, is recommended to the gener- al public by a manufacturer, profes- sional etiquette steps in and frightâ€" ens them. No matter how over- whelming the evidence of what such a discovery when sold as a proprie< tary medicine, has accomplished, they look coldly upon it and will rarely admit that they have used it with success. It would be “un- professional” to dose! Dr. Lap- poni is troubled by no such scruples. For instance, the numerous remark- able cures which havebeen proved by newspaper reports, independently investigated, to have been accom- plished by the medicine sold in Canâ€" ada under the name of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, must be well known to all Canadian doctors. They have been published far and wide. There can be no doubt of their accuracy. The names and ad-I dresses of the men and women cured are freely published. Their state: ments have been investigated by some of the most important news« papers in this country and abroad. No one has ever attempted to disâ€" pute the facts. But Canadian docâ€" tors have never cared to admit pub- licly that they have availed themâ€" selves of this discovery. poni, however, has availed himself of Dr. Williams’ discovery, and has, in his own fearless way, had no hesita- tion in making the fact publicly known. The following letter, with- his signature, freely avows the facts and endorses the value of Dr. Wilâ€" liams’ Pink Pills with an autharity no one will venture to question. TRANSLATION. “I certify that I have tried Dr; Williams’ Pink Pills in four cases of the simple anaemia of development. After a few weeks of treatment, the result came fully up to my expecta- tions. For that reason I shall not fail in the future to extend the use of this laudable preparation, not only in the treatment of other morâ€" bid forms of the category of anaeâ€" mia or chlorosis, ’but also in cases of neurasthenia and the like. (Signed) Dr. iiuseppe Lapponi, Via dei Gracchi 332, Rome. The “simple anaemia. of developâ€" ment” referred to by Dr. Lapponi is of course that tired, languid condi- tion of young girls whose develop- ment. to womanhood is tardy, and whose health, at the period of that development, is so often imperilled. I-lis opinion of the value of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink This at that time is of the highest scientific authority, . and it confirms the many published cases in which anaemia and other diseases of the blood as well as the nervous diseases referred to by Dr. Lapâ€" poni, have been cured by these pills, which, it need hardly be mentioned, owe their eflicacy to their power of making new blood, and thus acting directly on the digestive and nervous system. In all cases of anaemia, threatened consumption, decline, in- digestion, kidney diseases and all af~ fections of the nerves, as St. Vitus" dance, paralysis and loconlof or atax- ia, they are commended to the confi« dence of the public, anc‘ now that they have received the emphatic en. dorsement of so high a professional authority as Dr. Lapponi, the trust‘ ed physician of the Vatican, they will be accepted by the medical and scientific world at their true value.
