To make potatoes white when cooked, they should lie pared in cold water for twu or three hours. Stockings washed before wearing will last in good condition far lon- ger than those not washed: To keep milk from scorching, the saucepan should be rinsed in cold water before pouring in the milk. 'ae habit of biting off thread among young women damages good teeth and is prolific of sore throats and even blood poisoning. If a saucepan be burnt rub with a damp cloth dipped in fine ashes, lor a damp cloth dipped in coarse 'salt will have the same. effect. If new boots won't polish rub them over with a cut lemon, and then leave until thoroughly dry. Repeat this remedy once or twice if necessary. Give children their tea early, so that they may ha.e a good hour's play before going to bed. This play will induce a healthy tiredness, and sleep will soon follow. Cold water soothes the pain of any sudden inflammation of the ey. Hot water will help to dull the pain, and a weak solution of borie acid is always good for the eye. _If you are distressed to find sha some careless person has scratche the new white paint with a match, try rubbing the darkened surface with part of a cut lemon. Glycerin as an application: for scalds is most useful and should be applied immediately after an acci- dent. Strips of linen or rag soak- ed in glycerin should be gently laid over the affected part. Fat skimmed from the water in which bacon or meat has been boiled should be kept for frying or pas- try. Superfiuous fat from joints may be melted--while sweet -- and kept for frying purposes. To keep a skirt placket from tear- ing out at the bottom sew on a hock and eye at the extreme end of the placket, fasten -and then erush flat. This is a simple but very useful thing to know, as it saves many a stitch. Flannels may be washed by hav- ing boiled soap suds poured over them in @ tub; in 20 minutes pour off the suds and p ur in clean boil- ing water; pour off and on again more boiling water; squeeze the garments and stretch on line, press- ing water out as it settles down. Women who are addicted to nerv- ousness should avoid peppers, spic- es, eggs, too much meat, and high- ly seasoned sauces and dressings. Their diet should consist of fish, soup, celery and lettuce. Both cel- ery and lettuce form an excellent food and tonic for the nerves. The tissue paper that you get parcels rolled up in should never be crumpled and thrown away, but carefully smoothed out, 'rolled up and laid away in some drawer or handy place where you know where to find it when you need a nice, soft, clean piece of paper. * ENCOURAGE THAT YAWN. . Respiratory Organs. Dr. Emil Bunzi, of Vienna, Aus- tria, in speaking of diseases of the throat and their remedies, said that yawning had its great value. Yawning has recently been recom- mended, independently as a valu- able exercise for the respiratory organs. SEigoexe Se _ "According to Dr. Naegli, of the University of Leuttich," said Dr. Bunzi, "yawning brings all the re- spiratory muscles of the chest and throat into action, and is, there- fore, the best and most natural means of strengthening them.

The sound of abund- ance--The Greek Old Testament has here the suggestive words, "the sound of the feet of the rain- storm.' .All the evidence the pr): phet had was the word of the Lord. "Show thyself to Ahab, and I wili send rain.' Faith was not diffienit after the miraculous exhibition of Jehovah's power in the ep of 'fire and the blotting out of the) heathenish priesthood, So Elijan urges the king to rehew his ex- hausted vitality with food and drink, at his tent up on the slope of the mountain, before the expected downfall should make a journey to Jezreel impracticable, -- 42. Elijah went up to the top of rmel--The rugged haunter of the wildernesses forgot his own need cf refreshment in his eagerness to see the hand of Jehovah displayed still further. The attitude he assumed was one of earnest prayer. 43. His servant--Tradition says this was the widow of Zarephath's "son whom he snatched from the jaws of death.

Here he halted, fur he had no liking for cities and could easily find, shelter in the neighbo:- ing Gilboa. 2. Jezebel--To her the events cn Carmel meant more than they pos- sibly could to her husband, for-her devotion to the cult of her father, who kad been a high priest of the Baal-worship in Tyre, amounted to! fanaticism. She could not sit idly by and see her work of years oblit- erated. It was to be expected that she would send just such a message to the prime mover of the threat- ened revolution, pronouncing upon him a virtual sentence of death. 3. Beersheba--Though this was a town. of Judah, about thirty miles south of Hebron, yet Elijah did not feel himself secure there, inas- much as the king of Israel was in alliance with the king of Judah at this time.: So he took himself, in characteristic fashion, to the wil- derness (4). 4. -Junipéer-tree--More -- properly a species of the broom plant, which grows everywhere in the deserts of the Holy Land.

Henry Pol, the famous bird- charmer of the Tuilleries, whom all Paris knows and admires, has been decorated by the French Minister of Agriculture. . His daily "receptions" of his birds in the Tuilleries form one of the most fascinating entertain- ments in Paris, and are always watched by hundreds of interested sightseers. ,M. Pol feeds his chirp- ing flock regularly every morning, to. the delight of children and grown-up strangers. He has very appropriately been called the Saint Francis of the Tuilleries, and right- ly so; for like the Saint of Assist, he has only to call the birds from the trees and they fly down to perch on his hand or his shoulders. He gives them the names which they remember, speaks to them, and they listen. His charm over the birds is really remarkable. _ Each sparrow hasits name, and pictur- esque names, too, they are. They range from the Christian names of Jean and Jeanette to those of re- volutionary celebrities. 'There is Phillippe, now," he will say. 'I have not seen him for several days, Come here, Phillippe, you little ras- cal; where have you been all this time?' And Phillippe, a very plump, dark brown sparrow with a sly look, would fly out of a crowd of twenty or thirty watching . for crumbs on the gravel and perch on M. Pol's finger: His success: is. the vesult of years' of effort, as he used to pass through the garden on his way to work, D GOLD IN SCOTLAND. Believed That it Can Be Mined in Paying Quantities.

The number forty,-how-! ever, is often taken to symbolize a'| period of testing (compare the cases} of Moses and Jesus), and here | doubtless refers to the time of Eli-| jah's seclusion. 9. What doest thou here, Elijah 1! --Dr. Farrar gives a vivid inter- pretation to this question by em- phasizing the successive words: | 'What doest thou here ". '"He was, doing nothing. Was there no} work to be done in Israel Was he; tamely to allow Jezebel to be the! final mistress of the situation?' 'What doest thou here' 'Is it not very significant of thy name, 'Jehovah he is my God? Is he to to be the God of but one fugitive ?"' "What doest thou here?' 'This is the wilderness. There are no idol- ators or murderers, or breakers of God's commandments here." 10. I only am left; and they seek my life--A confession of. conscious failure, on the part of a man thoroughly discouraged. 11-12. Jehovah passed by--Ha was present in the strong wind, and in the earthquake and the fire, as well as in the still small voice. But the more tumultuous elements did not speak to the soul of the pro- phet as did the calm following the storm. God manifests himself in the quiet providences of life as well as in its upheavals. 13. He wrapped his face in his 'mantle--The solemn silence of the mountains filled him with awe and even dread, and he felt impelled to an act of self-abasement. His con- dition smote him, and with re- proachful iteration the question re- turned: What doest thou here, Eli- jah? : ' : _ 15, 16.

For centuries the ancient deposits have been nothing more than a tradition. From time to time gold seekers have dug pits and channels in the river banks to the annoyance of huntsmen, but ~ no- thing worth while had been discov- ered until recently. In the last days of the Scottish kings gold mining in the Leadhill district of Lanarkshire was said to have been quite an industry, and certain coins of that period were struck from native gold. The immediate supply probably worked out and the workings were abandoned. A few years ago gold was discov- ered in workable deposits in Argyll. But when a few grains were recoy- ered it was noted that the expense made further mining impossible, so it was abandoned. At Kildonan, where gold is said to be deposited in considerable quantity, opera- tions have always been forbidden. Now it is reported that the Duke of Sutherland is about to permit mining on his estates at Kildonan, and experts believe that with im- proved apparatus the gold can be taken out profitably. he $9 TO MAKE A CRIMINAL. It costs $9 in Chicago to make a recognized criminal of a man and only $2.10 to make an _ honest working citizen out of an offender against the law, according to a statement made before a women's club by Rollo H.

Mr. McBride procured his figures from the financial report of a rescue home, where every man who calls for aid gets it, and from records of the municipal courts.

The Portuguese 'is essentially a pleasure-lover. He is not especial- ly devoted to the theatre but takes his pleasures much in the same way as the Spaniard, although his taste in regard to buil-fights is by no means so sanguinary. In the Span- feature, and in the Portuguese it is a display of elegant horseman- ship--the bull is never kiiled. The Bull Ring at Lisbon is situ- ated at the extreme end of the fam- ous Aveneda di Liberdale, which was the scene of the most severe fighting between the Republican and Monarchist troops. On a fete day, when the bull-fight is to take place (and this is generally on a Sunday), the concourse of people is enormous, and a stranger. might well imagine that an infantile re- volution had broken out, for from early morning until the time of the bull-fight, at two or three in the af- ternoon, there is a succession of ' EXPLODING BOMBS, shells, and rockets fired in open spaces, -and especially in the vicin- ity of the railway station and the famous Roly-Poly Square, the stones of which are laid in such an erratic fashion that they resemble the waves of the sea, and which ev- er way the tourist walks across them he involuntarily raigés his foot as though to step over a rise in the ground. All over Lisbon, and especially along the Aveneda, there is a cur- ious fashion in pavements, and all kinds of weird scrolls and twisting, twirling, and dragon-like figures are made in tesselated tiles--either white upon black, or black upon white. On the days of the bull-fights the} victors are escorted. through -- the] streets. In gaily decorated carts with their lady admirers in start- ling costumes, and the constant! cracking of fireworks mingles with the cheers of the crowd. A Portu- guese bull-fight is. worth seeing, and even the Humanitarian League could find: little to cavil at it. It is certainly no more cruel than fox- hunting or stag-stalking. The bull-} fighters earn large 'salaries, and} many of them are popular heroes. | Some of them are quite. wealthy men, THE "LIVING PICTURE "CRAZE has long ago seized upon the Port- uguese in a manner which would astonish the owners of picture pal- aces. From noon until the small hours of the morning the streets of Lisbon and other large towns are a perfect pandemonium with the clanging of bells and the shrieking of steam- blown organs at the doors of these} scores of picture palaces almost | side by side in the main thorough- fares. The price of admission is exceedingly low, for, although the Portuguese is a great pleasure-lov- er, he likes to get enjoyment ~as cheaply as possible and to have as much for his money as he can. The; shows are continuous, and one can stay as long as one likes or rather as long as. one can stand the diu of a forty-horse power engine blaring out every noisy tune that was ever composed, * i The heat in these badly ventilat- ed, long, and narrow rooms is in- sufferable; the air is thick with to- bacco fumes, for everyone smokes and the refreshment-bars and food-stalls therein do AN ENORMOUS TRADE. The Portuguese looks well. afte: 'little Mary." When some porv- lar or political scene is thrown on the screen--and the films, by the way, are very flickery and bad from constant use--there is sometimes a demonstration, for a very little lures on the lower orders, who are the great patrons of these resorts, to a scrimmage. Like the Spaniard, again, the Portuguese is a born gambler, and be it in the bets over the success of any particular bull-fight, or at cards, or at the everlasting lottery, there is always some money to go in these directions. There can be no doubt that, if the Government | which are now sacred to Monte Carlo, would flourish in Lisbon and other Portuguese cities ; and before the revolution broke out there was said to be a project on foot for the starting of a gambling Casino on Monte Carlo lines at Funchal, in the Island of Maderia, one of the few colonial possessions of the new Republic. It remains to be seen what the present Administration may have to say as to deriving revenue for an impoverished country from this source, and whether a concession to allow gambling will be granted.

This is its especial mackintosh, or rather waterproof, which acts as a pro- tection from fire as wel] as water. In the ordinary way, if a shot pierced the side of a battleship, water would pour in at the hole, and possibly the ship might sink, but this is obviated by providing @ backing to the armér. Great sec- recy is kept in the yarlous navies regarding the material used, and its arrangement... : "JACKETS" FOR THE BOILERS. In 'many of the latest battleships, however,«.the coating is. made of cellulose, which again is obtained from the fibrous eeéeoanut . nd. Cei lulose possesses the peculiar pro- perty of swelling immediately it comes into contact with salt water. Therefore the moment tne water pours in at a hole in the ship's side, the cellulose almost instantly expands, and so closes the" aper- ture. Of-course the cellulose is espécially treated in order to ren- der it fireproof. A man-of-war has its vitality en- ormously diminished if certain por- tions of it become too cold, and in much the same way as its human tenants. Accordingly, the boilers and steam pipes are clothed with 'Jackets." In some cases the jack- ets are made of ordinary blanket- ing, in others of a fibrous clay-like composition, or even of close-grain- ed wood. In general, the material used for @ ship's underclothing of this description consists of mincral wool, however. The great ship is more likely to suffer from the effects of heat than those of cold. There is always the danger, owing to the newer type of machinery employed, that the pow- der magazines may get too hot. In the latest men-of-war the stores are surrounded by a_ thick coating of mineral wool. Mineral wool, by the way, has nothing what ever to do with wool, as it consists of a mass of snowy threads of a kind of glass. It is made by blow- ing jets of high-pressured steam through the streams of liquid slag which flow from the furnaces in the manufacture of iron. and steel. AMMUNITION ROOMS COOL. Enormous quantities of this strange variety of wool are used on board for the purposes of under- clothing the bulkheads and the more delicate portions of the ship's body. This invaluable substance acts equally well as a protector from heat and from cold. It is such a remarkable non-conductor of heat that it is used for covering the re- frigerators and the cold-storage chambers, and therefore the explo- sive stores. In the dockyards all the men who are employed in packing the miner al wool in the spaces on the ships are obliged to wear masks. This is to prevent the sharp, needle-like particles from being inhaled and so causing chest troubles of a fatal character. It is a very different substance from the fleecy material obtained from sheep. The ammunition rooms 'them- selves are kept cool by a refriger- ating plant in addition to being clothed in mineral wool, the same applying to the ammunition pas- sages. The wool is also packed be- tween the double bulkheads which separate the boiler spaces from the other portions of the vessel, -- Al- together the uses of mineral wool on board are extremely numerous. Even reindeer hair is to be met with on board in the capacity of a particular sort of underclothing. This material is very light, consid- erably lighter than cork, for in- stance, and is not so subject to de- cay. For this reason, amongst its many uses it is of great value as 2 filling for the lifebuoy. Cred There are many other strange | materials used on board for the purpose of providiig a protection to delicate portions of the yess a anatomy.
