the damage may be made good, not

Grape -fruit seeds, it planted in

Place the right side of the article

The smell of paint may be taken
away by closing ap the room and
setting in the centre of it a pan of
lighted charcoal on which have
been thrown some juniper berries.
Leave this in the room for a day

One of the most handy things to
keep in the kitchen soap rack is a
piece of rough hearth -stone about
one inch thick and three inches
long. Stubbornly burnt saucepans
will invariably yield to a little gen-
tle rubbing with this, and it has
the, advantage of not wasting away
when wet.
Never cover up nail or tooth
brushes on the washstand. The
bristles will soften and smell un-
pleasantly if not allowed fresh air.
Sponges, also, should never be cov-

IN A RAILWAY ACCIDENT
XIOW TO AVOID MISCELLANEs

One Man Says to Drop to the Floor
and Cling to the Frame of
the Seat.
What sheald one do when a train
uns off the track? Fall on the
floor and grasp the frame of the
seat? Few would be able to act
thus, and yet it is the -proper
and safe mode of procedare, we are
told by a eorrespoederlt of Railway

"It is difficult to instruct persons
haw to do in eases of the derailment
of a train they are riding in, but
sound advice is to drop upon the

cling to the seat frame. The im-
pulse to stand up and howl should

PAPER TEETH NOW.
One of the oldest uses to which
paper has been put is that which
has resulted in the manufacture in
Germany of -artificial teeth. They
are said to retain their color well,
and are less likely to chip than or-
dinary false teeth. When the wine-
growers of Greece were .badly off
forwood with which to construct
their casks they used Paper to make
barrels. Out of the sheets of an

off Bird Island, aboat ferty miles
north of Sydney Heads, en her way
from the, Clareace River to Sydney,
a little after 2 pan,„ all hands were
alarmed by a sudden shock, as
though the steamship had struck a
solid substance or wreckage. This
result was strange and remarkable
for the port engine was brought up
"all standing." The starboard en-
gine was quickly stopped and a
boat lowered and sent to investi-
gate. On getting, under the steam-
ship's counter, the boat's crew -
were astonished t find tnat a huge
sunfish had become securely fixed
in the braeket of the port propeller.

. Dr, Isaae T. Headland, president
of the Pekin University, and a resi-
dent of the Chinese 'capital for
many years, where he enjoyed the
frinciship of the late dowager em-
press, throws a new light on the
new women of China. Be repeats

ese who had recently become en-
gaged to a Chinese maiden, -with
whom ho had never spoken.
"'We students haYe S, very great

my celestial friend,
"What do you haeau?" I enquir-
ed.
"Well, you see, by the old meth -
mid a man can never see his wife
until she is brought to his home,"
"And what advantage do you

"We see the girls in church," he
answered. "They can also eee us.
We have sisters in the girls' school;
they have brothers in the college,
and when we go home during vaca-

other."
"This is an advantage"
"In my judgment," he continu-
ed, "we have a better method than
even you foreigners have. After
we have selected the lady we want,
we can have a middleman go and
ask her for us, while you nave to go

It was necessary to admit that

tions between the two kingdoms had

4. The doings of Israel -A refers
once either to the ealf-worship, ox'
to the introduction of ,Baal-wotsliiia
by Jezebel.
Tribute-To he distinguished
from that paid over by the Arabi -
ane and Philistines (verse 11). In
this case the money was probably'
free offering and not an exaction,.
0. High places -The word origin-
ally meant ''Izeights," any out-
standing elevation; then la place of
worehip, of Jehovah as well as other
gods; later, after the Ihuterono-
mie reform, not only an unlawful)
place of worship, but one entirely'
given up to the worship of other
gods. In this sense it is frequent-
ly used in Chronicles.
Asherim-Wooden poles set up.
)iku stone pillars at sanctuaries,
perhaps to represent the dwelling
place of deity. By the Denterone-
mie law they were forbidden (Dent.
10, 22), and commanded to be de-
stroyed (Deut. 12, 3). These sym-
bols had grown up probably during
the later and mare careless year
of Asa's reign.
7 -9 -The king's provision Lar the .
promulgation of the law.
7. Priecos--Theee are, historical-
ly, just so many mines. It is men-
tiotied that their work was done
in the third year of Jehoshaphat'a
reign, to emphasize the fact that
he began his reign with this pur-
pose to instruct the people.
8. With them the Levites ;- The
author himself was partial to the
Levitical order, and magnifies them
throughout his Chronicles. Hence
it is natural for him to single out
this fact of their performing the
priestly duty of teaching the law.
Jelioram-He is to be distaige-
ished from the king of Judah by
the same name. Of this man all
that is known is that he was a mem-
ber of the royal commission. Tho.
priests were the guardians of tha
law;and hence its natural teachers.,
