Moths are moit active in April, May and June, so it is wisdom to Olean and peek away all woolens and furs as aeon as they are taken off for the season, be- fore the moths have an opportunity to depcsite their eggs. Never put soiled artioles into the store room, or chest, for these busy little creatures are snre to find them first. Garments that can not be washed, can be sponged or cleaned with gasoline. Furs or feathers are still more attractive than soiled spots, and are safest when tied np in cotton bags. Suits, overcoats and cloaks should be closely inspected before they are hung away. Turn the pockets inside out to remove all dust and lint; whisk the garments vigorously, sponge out all spots, press neatly, then see that all the buttons and loops are secure, so that the •artioles may be in perfect readiness for the wearer when needed in ,the fall. Use a patent hanger to keep them in shape, and Dover with cotton bags made for the purpose, drawing the strings securely, so that no moths may And their way inaide.

Woolen gowns that can not be 'washed, should be thoroughly aired, brnehtd, and all spots removed. It is better to fold these than hang them, especially the skirts, as they lose their shape When stretched upon -hangers for a long time, Be sure that the bottom of the akirte are cleaned and the binding repaired, before peeking them away.

The Incident Which Moved England to Turn Drake Iesoss. rlat The e i h ens between which we e Drake's raid into the south sea had for a tittle threatened with open rupture had greatly improved -at least in, outward appearance --and 1n 1585, under ape - dal promises qt immunity from nlo- lestation on roliglous or other grounds, Philip bad invited to his ports a fleet of Euglish corn ships in order to sup- ply tbe deficiency of his own harvests. No sooner, however, bad the English ships arrived than an embargo was laid upon them and their crews ar- rested. One ship, the famous Primrose of London, .managed to escape. While lying off Bilbao quietly discharging her cargo she had been visited by the cor- regleor of Biscay and his guard dis- guised as merchants., Suddenly Balled upon ss surrender, the crew flung them• selves ,upon the Spaniards, drove thein all overboard and made sail. Some of the discomfited Spaniartds as the shore boats fled were sears clinging to the English vessel. These were humane- ly rescued and carried in triumph back to England, and among them was the corregidor himself. Upon him were found his official instructions, setting forth expressly. -that the embargo was ordered for the purposes of tfie,e.+cpe- dition which Philip was preparing against the English, This was enough for the queen and the powerful pub- lic opinion of commercial circles in London, which bad obstinately clung to paeille relations with Spain. A re- taliatory embargo was proclaimed, let- ters of general reprisal were issued, and Drake was let loose. -From Publi- cation of Navy Records eSociety. A PORTO RICAN CUSTOM. Prayers For the Dying Recited in the Public Streets. "A. few evenings ago °while we were at dinner in our hotel," writes an American author visiting in Porto -Moo, "we beard the tiukling of a small bee just outside the hotel doors, Instantly Salvador, the waiter, stopped in the little bustling run with which he waits on the guests, hurriedly procured 'a candle, lighted it and carried it out on the balcony, Almost as soon aa that candle was on the balcony railing we three Americans were beside it, ques- tioning Salvador, for we were sure something unusual was going on. "We saw a procession of many peo- ple, led by two priests, coming down the street, each person bearing in his hand a lighted candle. They stopped in front of a house facing the. hotel, and Salvador told us that somebody was dying there and they were pray- ing for his soul. Up and down the street as far as we could see on every balcony railing was burning either a candle or a kerosene lamp. "From the absorbed interest of tee people gathered in front of open doors and windows of the afflicted house tbe sufferer was apparently trying to die in full view of the spectators. "Presently the bell began to ring again, the procession formed once more, and they all moved up the street, Salvador telling us in explanation that there was a second person dying and they were now going to pray for him." -Exchange.

He's eight, so I've got to pay his fare. I've left Myra, that's four, and Neddy, that's two, at home. Now, you wouldn't have charged me for them, would you?" "No, madam," said the -conductor.

Empty Pasteboard cracker bcxes (one pound size) and the Olean, white, wood. en bones oh000late comes in, lined with parrtflne paper, are excellent to bake sponge cages in. They will not burn and the paper prevents sticking. For those who carry their midday luncheon, bake little pies, in small dis- •oarded sauce dishes, or can lids, and make oup custards, and little Oakes in patty --pans. These are easily carried and keep fresh longer than pie and cake which must be out. If Oriental rugs are badly creased,tnrn them upside down on a barn floor and wet the banks with'a moistened broom.

"It is only a cold, a trifling cough," say the careless, as the irritation upon the delicate mucous rnee:beane causes them to hack awaywith an irritable tickling of the throat. When the irritation aetties on the mucous surface of the throat, a cough is the result. To prevent Bronchitis or Con- sumption of the Lungs, do not neglect a cough however slight as the irritation spreadingthroughout the delicate lining of the senstive air passages soon leads to fatal results.

The first thing to do In the ogee of indigestion or stomach weakness is to strengthen tbe musoular walls of the stomach and intestines, so that they will care for the food that'is eaten. In no other way can this be done as well as by taking a Me o•na tablet before each meal. This restores strength to the sterner/II muscles and stimulates the pouring out of gastric juices, then the food digests readily and eon begin to get the full. benefit from what you eat. Use Mi-o-na whenever you hare sick headache, heartburn, bad taste in the mouth, coated tongue, spots before the eyes, sleeplessness and the many other symptoms that are the direct result of indigestion. Walton 'McKibben gives with every 5O Dent box of Mi o-na a guarantee to refund the money unless the remedy onres, SENTENCE SERMONS. Deeds cure doubts. The man with a crouch always waters his own woes. The life soon ceases to rise when you forget to often Look up. The highest in humanity is the best we know of divinity. The best way to get rid of an enemy is to make a friend. No church is more needy than the one that neglects the needy. It's an empty business feeding the heart' on brain food alone. Genius is simply drudgery converted by the glory of a vision. Defining religion always tends to be- come a substitute for doing it. Charity without cheer is Iikely to leave the world only more chilly. HINTS AND HELPS. Take old cotton blanket that have worn too thin for warmth on the bed, dye them ane Dolor desired, and use them for linings when you make your winter quilts. Do not iron lace; after washing it press it in books or stretch it out on cardboard. Do not starch them, but in the last rinsing water, dissolve a little fine sugar.
