Have the starch as hot as you can
bear your hands in it. The clothes
to be starched should be dried first.
Dip in the starch and wring as dry
as possible; wrap in clean damp
cloths. They can be ironed at once
or set asideover night if desired.

LITTLE HELPS,
To Keep Furs.—Every housewife
knows what a great worry furs and
woollen garments are during the
sunnner months, when moths are so
ready to destroy any within their
reach. Take a five gallon erock and
after sunning and brushing the furs
place them in the erock, then cover
with a heavy piece of wrapping
paper 'which is glued fast to the
crock, making it absolutely air
tight and there are no creeks or
crevices for moths to enter. This
can be kept in a, dry cellar all sum-
mer, or if you have no cellar or
elothes press get a large tin lid to
fit the crock and make a, cever of
eretonne and use for a corner seat
in any room, and save all worry
over moths for the summer.
Mothproof.—In packing away furs
for the summer, and to avert dan-
ger from moth, air the furs on a
cloudy day. Do not hang them out
in the sunshine. If soiled, sprinkle
with cornmeal and rub with a cloth
the way the fur runs. Shake well,
place them in large paper flour
bags. Tie tightly and'hang them in
a closet or put them away in a, chest
and you will never, never be trou-
bled with moths. No need to pack
away with the odorous camphor,
moth balls, or tar paper. Experi-
ence has proven that the above me-
thod is the only safe and satisfac-
tory method of preserving .one's
furs. -
When cooking wild ducks they are
often found to taste "fishy." This
may be taken away by skinning the
ducks before they are cooked. If
you would rather- not skin them,
boil them for fifteen minutes in
soda water.
To Clean white woollens and have
them look white and also keep their
shape add a teaspoonful of ammonia
to every gallon of water that is used
to wash them in.
White Kid Gloves.—Wash gloves
With gasoline and ivory soap, using

the same as you would a silk glove.
Repeat this process three tiemes,
using clean gasoline each time,

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL STUDY
INTERN_ATIONAL LE SSDN,
llIA Y 7.
Lesson King of Judah,
hmulded; 2 Chron. 26. Golden
Text. Prey. 16.°18.
Verse 1. The people , . took
lizziah—We are led to infer that
there was some dispute over tbe
succession, inasmuch as the people
were not orelinarily the determiniug
factor in the selection of a king. AS
the new king was enly sixteen years
old, and his father Ainaziah was
fifty-four at a time of his assassin-
ation it seems likely that there
were other clairas,nts'by the chroni-
cler unmentioned. In the King's
lIzzia.4 is called Azariah. The two
names in Hebrew are much alike,
and mean'one, "Jehovah his help-
er," and the other, "Jehovah his
strength."
2. Eloth—A seaport in the ex-
treme south of Edom. In the reign
of Solomon it was an important na-
val station, Leter on, in the time
of jelearatn. Esiont became indepen-
dent, but the port clime more pass-
ed into the hands of Judah in the
reign of Amaziah, who, however,
left it unfortified. Ralf a century
later it passed over to the posses -
sloe of the Syrians.
4. He did that which was right in
the eyes ef Jehovah—This is a gen-
eralization taken from the older at -
count in Kings, and, whoa there is
added, according to all that his fa-
ther Amaziah had done, the state -
meet seems incongruous, as Arne-
ziales degeneracy was pronounced.
The verse must be. taken as a sort
of formula., and interpreted ac-
eording to the judgment of the ren-
in the light of all the leas,
O. Zechariah—A prophet other-
wise unknown, There are no less
than twenty-nine persons in the
Old Testament with this name. The
statement that he had understand-
ing in the vision of God is aleo ren-
dered, "gave instruetion in the fear
of God," either one of which indi-
cates that he was a man rich in
spiritual things and an able teach-
er.
0-15—The military and industrial
prosperity of the reign of Uzziale
'These verses, as well as the five
which follow, are peculiar to the
Chronicles.
0. The Philistines—They were
Semitic immigrants into Palestine,
whose origin is uncertain. The best
estimate makes them out to have
come into the lowlands of the Me-
diterranean from Crete or Cyprus.
From earliest times they were in
eonflict with the children of Israel.
Four times they oppressed Israel
(compare Judges 3. 31; 10, 11; 13-10;
1 Sam. 7; 13). With the death of
Saul, the Philistine power became
supreme in Israel. But David
threw off the yoke, and even reduc-
ed these ancient foes to vassalage.
A MANIcuB,r, PARLOR.
The Blaine public school in Min-
neapolis, which was the first school
to instal a bathroom now has a
manicure, parlor. By order of the
board of &location a corner of -the
bathroom has been partitioned off
and here the, pupils may repair to
brush their hair and manicure their
hands. The board employs an at,-
tcndant to take charge of the baths,
and instruct the children ...in the
art of manicuring and toilet-mak-
•
Then with the disruption, the Phil-
istines regained their independence,
but they never regained their lost
glory. There were five chief cities
in Philistia, of which Gatle and .Ash-
dod were two. Jabuele better
known by its Greek name, Jamnia.,
lay twelve miles south of Joppa,
four miles from the sea. After the
fall of Jerusalem the Jewish rulers
removed there, and it was for a
while the tenter of worship for the
Jews.
7. The Arabians --These "people
of the desert," in the Chronicles,
were the strong kingdom south and
southeast of Judah. Gurbaa,1 has
remained unidentified. The Meunim,
or last people, were an Arabian peo-
ple from Mount Seir.
8. The Amnionites—A specially
cruel people dwelling on the east
of the Jordan.
To the entrance of Egypt—Prob-
ably not more than 150 miles from
Jerusalem.
9-10. Built towers ---These were
for the protection of the cattle, and
husbandmen and vinedressers. The
cisterns were something more than
wells. From early times artificial
reservoirs were 'hewn out of the
rock for the storage of water.
11. Went out to war by bands—
This may refer to the custom of at-
tacking an enemy by means of maz
rauding expeditions, but niore like-
ly it describes the careful organiza-
tion of the army.
12. The heads of fathers' houses—
That is, the troops were assembled
by families.. The whole number,
three, hundred and seven thousand
and five hundred, was about the
same as that of his father's army (2
Chron. 25. 5), but smaller than the
armies of Jehoshaphat and Asa. But
this arms, was superior to Ainavi-
s since Uzziah did not rashly
depart from his own people to hire
troops from Israel, as his father
had clone.
14, Shields—The enumeration of
fighting implements used in the
army of Uzzialt is more detailed
than that of any previous king, The
invention ot war engines marks an
,adtance in military science. The.
chronicler speaks of them as en-
gines enginecied by the ingenious'
(15). By means of them the Hebrew
soldieis were as tvoll equipped as
•
the Assyrians with their battethag•
rams and catapults.
16-23—The tragic conclusion of
Uzeiah's reign. The hook ef Kings
tells us simply that "Jehovah smote
the king," but remains silent as to
the, sin thus punished. The chroni-
cler, however, many years after,
adds what he believes to have been
the cause of this eatastroplie; name-
ly, the presumptueus exercise, on
the part of Uzziali, of the sacred
prerogative of the priests, of burn-
ing incense, and the anger with
which the kixrg withstood them.
16.. His heart was lifted up—Of
how maey of the kings of Israel was
it true that they eeeld not stand up
under the terrible temptations that
came with prosperity!
To burn ineense upou the altar—
An especially sacred act, and be-
longing exclusively to the seed of
Aaron (Exod. 30. 1-10). Anyone
issurping these functions was liable
to the penadty of death. The rest
of the story speaks for itself. Aza-
riah the priest is not mentioned in
any other connection (17). The sud-
denness of the outbreak of the lep-
rosy reminds us of the OaSe of Geh-
azi.
21. A separate house—Like all
lepers. the king was consigned to a
place ef absolute fsolation, being
deprived of roe -al functions and the
privileges of the house of Jehovah,
22. Isaiah the prophet—His rela-
tion to the reign of Idzziah comes
to view in the next lesson. This
reference may be to some fuller re-
eord of the reign than the meager
statement in the present Isaiah,
23, They buried him with his fa-
thers—Not in the tombs of the kings
lest these should suffer defilement
from a leper's body, but in the ad-
joining field.
Jothame-He reigned as coregent
during the fourteen years his father
remained a leper, and then continu-
ed two years as sole king, pursuing
the aggressive policy of Uzziah.
THE DOLL'S FESTIVAL.
urinal ifelidee Dedieated to Them
in Joan,
The familiar saying that "he who
makes the people's songs has great-
er power than he makes their
laws" may with justice be parodied
by putting "dolls" in the plaice of
"songs." In Japan there is an
annual holiday dedicated to these
miniature playfellows of the Japan-
ese children. Of them, Miss C. F.
Gordon -Cumming Writes in her
hook of "Memories"
Faseinatine as are even the eons-
monest kinof Japanese -dolls, I
was tantalized by accounts of the
delightfully quaint doll army that
holds sway throughout the land for
one day in every year, namely, the
third day of the third month. It
is known as the Hina Mateuri, that
is to say, "The Dolls' Festival."
The dolls in question all represent
historical or mythological charac-
ters—gods and demigods, mikados
and shoguns, warlike heroes, era -
presses, and other ladies of note,
minstrels, courtiers, priests. They
vary in size from tiny things to
abont,twelve inches in height, and
are made of good wood or baked
elay, but all, alike are beautifully
dressed in correct costume.
Two dells are Presented to every
baby girl at the first festival after
her birth, and as they are careful-
ly treasured from year to year, and
fresh dolls are ocacsionalli,' added,
the family doll -house requires to be
capacious. When a girl marries she
takes her original brace of dolls
with her to her new home, as an
early offering for her prospective
family. The dolls are provided
with miniature properties of all
sorts, tiny but exquisitely lacquer-
ed tables, with complete dinner or
tea -sets; all requisites for the ,toi-
let and for painting, and for mak-
ing music.
Well -brought -up little Japanese
maidens begin their festival by mak-
ing formal offering of seVeet-meats
and rice wine to the dolls who per-
sonate the Mikado and the Kogo,
and then devote the whole long,
happy day to play with the delight-
ful companions who at night will be
hidden from them, not to be seen
again for 'twelve long months.. I
have had the luck to be shown some
of these precious dolls, lent they are
offered for sale only at the proper
season.

The occupants had scrambled opt
in terrified haste, fearful lest the

The driver and his fares exchanged
