About Asbestos, Asbestos is a physical paradox, yet one of nature's most marvellous prod- uctions. It has> been called a miner-al- ogical vegetable; it is both fibrous and crystalline! elastie, yet brittle; a float- ing stone which can be readily earded, spun and woven into tissue. In Germ- any itis known as steinflachs (stone flax) and the miners of Quebec give it quite an expressive name--pierre cotton (cotton stone). The asbestos mines in Quebec are the most famous in the world yielding 85 per cent of the entire output, Italy being the onlycempetiting county and there the industy is declin ing. Although Charlemange is said to have had a tablecloth of asbestos (which he cleaned by throwing it into the fire), it was practically unknown of in 1850. The Italian mineral was then experim- ented with, and some years later put on the market. Asbestos is flexible, non- combustible, and a non-conductor of heat and electricity, and on these pro- perties its increasing use depends. It is spun into yarn from which cloth is woven for drop curtains in theatres, clothing for fireman, acid wo.kers, etc. It is made into lamp wicks and gloves for stokers and ropes for fire -escapes. It is felted into mill -board, to be used as an insulator in dynamos, and as a fire- proof lining for floors. It is used to in- sulate electric wires and as a covering to prevent loss of heat from steam pipes. Mixed with rubber, it is used to pack joints. -Farmer's Advocate. THE CONTROL OF SELF. The control of self is perhaps the most difficult problem we have to meet. To be master of self means the control of muscles, thoughts and actions. The power of being still and resting, s Self-mastery does not mean activity, so much as it means abstinence. Here I mean abstinence literally -to abstain from hurry, lassitude, trivialities, and temper. In doing anything athletic that counts we should relax and rest before calling upon the muscles for the final effort. That is self-control. In the moral sense, we should control any desire for revenge, love our oppo- nents, thank our failures and hardships accept them as lessons, start again and again until success is gained. Women use up far too much vitality in doing Iittle things. I have seen women who declared that they were relaxing and resting when they were tapping their feet, clenching their hands, tightly folding their arms until the circulation stopped and numbed one of them. Any movement of the toes or fingers while resting shows mental nervousness and worry. Now to master the thoughts one must stop thinking of anything that is anx- ious or unpleasant. That can be done, although some will say that it cannot, To be perfectly still for a few moments is trying to some people, but it is neces- sary. No one rests perfectly unless one stops all action in limb and thought. Relaxation can be accomplished in any sort of work, by doing it easily and systematically. Women should study relaxation and self-control to keep young and beautiful. Over -anx- iety causes flushed faces, pale lips, and indigestion. Nervous diseases are caused by overworked brains or over- strained resistance. The woman who suffers and says nothing -unless, of course, she has much faith in God -will end a nervous wreck. It is not natural for people to keep secrets. The natural woman must tell her troubles to someone -that Had Indigestion, Sour Stomach and Severe Headaches FOR OVER A YEAR Mr. W. Moore, 182 Lisgar St., Toronto, Ont., writes: -"After having been troubled with indigestion; sour stomach, and severe headaches for over tx year, 1 was induced to try Milburn's Lexa•Liver Mills, One vial greatly benefitted nay case, and three vials Completely cured me, I can heartily recommend them to any one suffering from stomach or liver trouble." tiilburu's Laza-Liver Pills stimulate the sluggish liver, clean the coated tongue, and remove till *ante and poison- ous matter from the system.

When paint sticks to glass it can be removed with hot vinegar, To brighten oil lamp burners boil fifteen minutes in buttermilk. When soaking mackerel or other salt fish, see that the skin side is upper- most. Iced water in a pitcher will keep much longer if a paper bag is placed over the top. Charcoal in pieces the size of a pea or burnt cork once a week is good for all poultry. A good black ink, mixed with white of egg, will restore the color of kid shoes and gloves. To polish zinc, rub briskly with a cloth dipped in kerosene and rinse off with boiling water. A porcelain tub or sink may be thor- oughly cleaned with a flannel dipped in spirits of turpentine. When boiling bacon or ham add a little vinegar and leave the meat in until the water is cold. The flavor will be delicious. Cut flowers will last well if a piece of saltpeter be added to the water in which they stand. When buttering bread for sandwiches always butter the end of the loaf be- fore cutting off the slice. To save grease when frying dough- nuts put a teaspoonful of ginger into the grease when hot. Outside leaves of lettuce, if boiled, chopped, drained and served on toast like spinach, are delicious. New iron pots should always be boil- ed first with wood ashes and cold water and then thoroughly scalded. A discolored bean pot may be restor- ed to its original whiteness by letting buttermilk stand in it for a day or so.

There are two methods of stewing pleats; in one, the meat or poultry is partly fried in butter, drippings, or other fat, until perfectly seared on the out- side, after which a sufficient quantity of water is poured over it, brought to a boil, and kept at simmering point until perfectly tender, and the water mostly evaporated. It is contended that the water should be boiling hot when poured en the hot, seared meat, as, if cold water is used, the shock of the cold liquid hardens the meat. This, however, is a matter for the cook to decide. The other method differs. The meat is not fried, but packed loosely in a pan or kettle, with sufficient cold water or stock to cook, and kept simmering slow- ly until perfectly done. This is the method observed in making Irish stews; for two pounds of neck or loin of mut- ton, the time required is usually two hours; but for tough meats, which are the parts generally chosen for stews, four or five hours are usually required. The fire may be allowed to gradually die out as the meat gets nearly done, and it should be left in the water, eovs ered, until the water is cold. Tough meat, unfit for any other pro- cess of cooking is made perfectly deliciw nus through proper stewing, and the meat requires very little attention, ex- cepta few skimmings at the start, Dare. ly water enough to eovor the pleat is used at first, and only sufficient more is added as it boils away, to prevent seorehing. The State inheritance tax will, says the Springfield Republican, produce for New York this year more than $20,000,- 000 in revenue, mainly because of the deaths of four men, Joseph Pulitzer, John Jacob Astor, Benjamin Guggen- heim and Isador Straus, of whom the last three lost their lives in the Titan - ices foundering. Never before, since this tax was levied, have so many great fortunes been subject to it in one year. (From the T1n1Es of Junta 1-4 1S92.) Local. tit?h4S.

What things you'll dare, When you are Somebody, And have no care! How sweet it seems, How sweet ah, yes! The golden dream Men call Success! When you are Somebody, And all you meet Bow down in flattery Before your feet; What of the friends you knew, Who saw you climb - Are they still true to you As in the past time? Ah, well -a -day! For who could guess The price you pay To win Success. But when 'tis yours at last, You'd give your gold To live again the past, The days of old; The days you loved so well, When friends were few, When, though you failed and fell, Your friends were true Ab, well -a -day! For who could guess The price you pay To win success: The flattering ring, The false caress? - And that's the thing Men call success! When Blond 16 Poison.

A man who was not wise to the ways of the world was the father of a bright boy. He spent much time debating how the lad's future was to be shaped, and finally went for advice to the vil- lage sage, who at one time had been a part of the selfish striving world, and who left it scarred and shaken, but full of wisdom. And the sage told the per- plexed father how to determine his son's future, and the father straight- away went and did what he was ad- vised. But the next day he sought out the sage in sore perplexity. 'The whole plan went wrong,' said he, 'and I am in a quandary what to do next,' 'What did I advise you to do?' asked the wise man. `You told me to leave George in a room with a work on theology, an apple and some small change; that if when I returned I found him reading the book he was to be made a clergyman, if eat- ing the apple a farmer, if interested in the money a banker.' 'Well?' 'But when 1 came back he was seat - ad on the book with the half -devoured apple in his hand and the money in his pocket.' 'That settles it,' said the sage, 'the lad is a born lawyer.' There is no plant known tomer' which given eneh a quantity M fond to the acre as the banana; it yields 14 times and more by weight than wheat, An- other peculiar feature about the banana is that no insect will attack it, and an- other is that it is absolutely immune to the diseases that fruits are subject to. A Bad Witness. A small Scottish boy was summoned to give evidence against his father, who was accused of making disturbances in the street. Said the magistrate to him, "Come, my wee mon speak the truth: and let us know all ye kin about this affair," "Weei, sir" said the lad, "d'ye ken Iverness Street?" "I do laddie," replied his Worship. "Weel, ye gang along it, and turn into the square, and cross the square." "Yes, yes," said the judge encourag- ingly. "An' when ye gang across the square ye turn to the right, and up into High Street, an' keep on up High Street till ye come to a pump." "Quite right my lad; proceed," said his Worship. "I know the old pump well." "Well," said the boy, with the most infantile simplicity, "ye may gang and pump it, for yell no pump me." There is no real need of anyone being troubled with constipation.

A number of well-known men and women contribute their opinions of what is the "right age for marriage." Lady Warwick leads off with "Marry at any age, so long as there is any real love." Mme. Sarah Grand says that "the time to marry must vary according to temperament." Mrs. Kendall confesses that her own views on marriage are strange and wierd. "All should marry in their own class of life, their own pro- fessions," declares the famous actress. "They may be happy. but when they marry above their position or below it the world suffers as well as themselves." Miss Fanny Brough thinks the best time is 21. Sir Francis Burnand, in an exceedingly interesting letter, confess- es that it is impossible to fix any right age. Mme. Bernhardt would say to the man: "Look for a wife who will be your companion." Toa woman: "Seek a man whom you can trust to be a sympathetic protector."

SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson XI.-•-$eoond Quarter, For June 16, 1912, THE iNTERNATIONAI. SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Matt, xi, 2•'19. Memory Verses, 5, 6 -Golden Text, Luke vii, 28, R. V, -.Commentary • Prepared by Rev. P. M. Stearns. According to the harmony of the gos- pels, the Sermon on the Mount was fol- lowed by His using Simon Peter's boat as a pulpit and then filling their net with ashes after a night of fruitless toil. After that calve the healing of the leper and the palsied man, the call of Matthew and the feast he prepared in bis own house, the healing oT the impotent man at Bethesda, the man in the synagogue with the withered band, the meet of prayer. the choosing of the I ccelve, the eern:bu on the plum, the nettling or the-ceuturioti's servant, the raising to life of the widow's son and much teaching day by day. Whether this is quite correct as to the order of 'events or not is not all important if we eau by faith see ourselves day by day with Him who, being anointed with the Holy Ubost and with power, went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil, God being with Slim and doing through Him the miracles and signs and wonders (Acts x. 38; ii. 22I. There was one great and good man wile did not see these wonders of His poster from day to day, for he was shut up in a pt;lson for the truth's sake, but he beard of tbeut and evidently wondered why the nue upon whom lee had seen the Spirit descend like a dove and remain upou I31m, who. he bad been told by God, was the Messiah and whom he ttad pointed out as the Lamb of God (John 1, 31.36). did not. deliver him from prison, for it had been pre- dicted concerning Him that He would proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening or the prison to them that are bound (iso, lxi, 1). As far as we know Jesus never visited John in pris- on nor sent him any message up to this time, and the father of lies was no doubt very busy with John questioning the way of God and the love of God and insinuating thdt, after all, John must have been mistaken iu pointing out Jesus as the Riess!ah. If John had not been in some way and In soma measure offended with Jesus would He have sent biro the message He did, "Blessed is be whosoever shall not be offended in Me?" (Verse 6.) To the questiou of John through the two disci- ples whom he sent, "Art thou he that should, or do we look for another?" (verse 3) Jesus in that same hour wrought many miracles and said, "Go your way and tell John what things ye have seen and heard," and tben He add. ed the word about not being .trended (Luke vii, 20.23). At one time Jesus said to the Jews, "If 1 do not the works of my Father believe Me not, but if do, though ye believe not Me, believe the works that ye may know and be- lieve that the Father is in Me and I in Him" (John x, 37, 38). All this is in accord with last week's lesson on the necessity of works as an evidence, and doing always precedes teaching (Matt. v, 19; Mark vi, 30; Acts 1, 1; iv, 20; Lul:e zxly, 19). Notwithstanding all Ills mighty works on behalf of Israel when and after He had brought them out of Egypt, they were constantly befog offended with Him and murmur ing against Him. They spoke against Wilt, they believed not fa Him, they provoked him, they forgot Him, and many a time He, being full of nonlpas- sion, turned His anger away front them, for He remembered that they were but flesh (Ps. izxviii).
