To cleanse theseetrayse rub a little olive oil oa and then polish' it off with a ilannel. A sick room, even if it is to be used a short time, should not be too fully furnish -ed, and no super- fluous boxes and baskets should be left about. It is best to avoid many ornaments that harbor dust and need dusting. Do not put eggs into dee pud- dings, as they are really wasted. All that is required in addition to the rice and Milk is a small piece of butter. Tbese puddings, to be good, must be cooked quite three hours very slowly. Clean iron holders are the excep• Mon rather than the rule. They need not be, for little washable cases, open at oue end like a pillow slip, are easily made, and can be renewed as often as desirable with little trouble. Tie the eases on with tapes. • To whiten flannels made yellow by age, diesolve 1 leg pounds of white soap in about twelve gallons of soft water, adding two-thirds of an ounce of spirits of ammonia. Place the flannel articles in this solution, stir well for is short time, .and ikon wash in ordinary. Before using plates, pie dishes, etc., for coking purposes it is a very wise plan to put them in a pan of cold water.

The soft places are always muci- laginous. Your sifecess is to be measured by your service Seine have no faith except when they are feeding. Saint's sighs may do more harm than sinner's smiles. When a man mak.es his own halo he always gets tangled up in it, Preachers would get nearer to hearte if they eared lose Inc count- ing noses.

An honest prayer for harvest al. ways inepires is Man to get out and hustle. A good deal of our dignits, is real- ly but impudenee hi view oe our large indebtedness to the world.

Talents—See Wovd Studies Inc July 131. Five talents would be something over $5,000, a large sum to intrust to it servant. Some ser- vants of the kingdom are rarely en- dowed, God lavishing upon thens his grates and advantages, nut suon also have heavier obligations than the man of two talents. The man Of one talent, on the other hand, though less freely endowed, ia not to despise the Opportunity which he has in his own sphere. All ere to remember that the talents are not gifts outright, but sacred trusts out of which each is to make the very utmoet. 16.

The im- mediate and sole business of Clheist's service, and to secure as large a return as possible. 17.

His lord said unto him, Well done—Just as he had said to the five -talent male The vornmendation and reward are precisely the same, !showing that what counts in the , end is, not rich enthral or spiritu- al endowment, but high devotion to Him whom We serve. Since both were °quells, zealous and achieved the same result, they were received with equal warmth. 24, I knew thee that thee art a hard man—This is an -excuse rather Oats a venom.

Heads and Tails. A well known astronomer and mathematician was on his way home one evening after having spent an hour or two in au observatory, look- ing througli a telescope at a cornet. Directly opposite him in the car sat a man with a loud voice, whose mis- information concerning (minks would have suppliedthe material for a library and who appeared to be talk- ing for the benefit of all the passim- gers. The astronomer listened pa- tiently for a time. Then he said in a low lone to the num sitting next to him: "Otir friend on the other side of the aisle reminds me somewhat of a comet himself." Row so? 'He is emptying his head to make a long tale.' .. Life of Air Leaks Away. Air seems to spoil easily.

A young concluder on the Tokio street railway suddenly -fell appar- ently lifeless on the platform of his car suffering from apoplexy. Every possible means of resuscita- tion. was tried without avail. The man remained livid, with- out any apparent respiration or pulsation, and was on the point of being given up for dead when ono Tura Hidikichi, who ia is jiu-jitsu expert, ha,ppeue•d to pass by, ands, lifting the lifeless body up, triad upon it the jiu-jitsu method of resuscitation. The effect was as instantaneous as it was marvellous. The patient immediately regained full consci- ousness, to the great amazement of around, eonlookers who had crowded and HOW THEY DO IT. Broadly,' speaking the method em- ployed is as follows: The operator kneels on one knee immediately be- hind the patient, whore he lifts to a semi -sitting posture, placing his (the operator's) knee between and slightly below the patient's shoul- der blades in the eareliao region,. then brings bis hands forward over the patient's chest, and then gives them a powerful jerk backward. If any life remains the effect is in- stantaneous, not only respiration and pulsation, but full conscious, ness, being restored. There are, however, details in regard to this treatment which cannot be learned. ARMIES OF SPIES AT WORK. Big Excitement Over Gernian and British Arrests. Behind the excitement caused by, the recent arrest of spies in Ger- many and England there is .an itt- teresting story. Extensive work of this nature is carried on in all Eu- ropean countries by officers of the rival armies and navies. It is well known to the English press, but it has not been publish- ed, that the two Englishmen laid by the heels at Bork= by the German authorities are offieers of social prominence on the active list of the British navy. The Admiral- ty solemnly affirms that the two are under leave of absence to study. language abroad." The idea thab they are sent on a mission of espi- onage is indignantly repudiated. Their influential relati-ves beought pressure on the British authorities soon after their arrest to take re- taliatory action. The reply wee that it would be ,easy to arrest forty . German spies at work in England but that it was not consid.ered ex - pe ieue Stronger influence was • rought to bear and the authori- ties finally agreed to take one hos- tage, ana .so Lieut. Helm was ar- rested at Portsmouth, and he was committed Inc trial on a felony charge.
