LITTLE HELPS.
To Keep Furs.—Every housewife
knows what a great worry furs and
woollen garments are during the
summer months, when moths are so
ready to destroy any within their
reach. Take a five gallon -crock and
after sunning and brushing the furs
place thein in the erock, then *Liver
with a heavy piece of wrapping
paper which is glued fast to the
crock, making it absolutely air
tight and there are no cracks or
crevices for moths to ,enter. This
can be kept in a dry cellar all sum-
mer, or if you have no cellar or
clothes press get a large tin lid to
fit :the crock and make a cover of
cretonne 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 slimmer, and to avert dan-
ger from moth, air the furs on a
cloudy day. Do not hang them out
in the sunshirle. 'soiled, sprinkle
with cornmeal and rub with a cloth
the *ay 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 iu
soda water. •
To clean white woollens and have
them look white and also keep -their
shape aeld a teaspoonful of ammonia
to every gallon of water that is used
to wash them in.
White Kid Gloyes.—Wash gloves
with gasoline and ivory soap, using
gasoline as you would water. Wash
the same as you would a silk glove.
Repeat this') process three times,

the new king wee tonly sixteen years
old, and his father Amezia,h was
fifty-four at a time of his aseassin-
ation, it seems likely that there
were other claimants, by the chroni-
cler unmentioned, In the King's

reign of Amaziah, who, however,
left it unfortified. Half a century
later it missed over to the posses-
sion of the Syrians.
4. He slid that which was right in
the eyes of jehovah—Thimis a gen-
eralization taken from the older ac-
count in Kings, and, when there is
added, according to all that his fa-
ther Amaziah had done, the state-
ment seems incongruous, as Area-

The verse must be taken aa a sort
of formula, and interpreted ac-
cording to the judgment of tire rea-
der, in the light of all the facts.
a. 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 also ren-
dered, "gave instruction 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 Uzzia,h.
These verses, as well es the five
which folkw, are peculiar to the
Chronicles.
0. The Philistines—They were
Semitic immigrants into Palestine
16-23—The tragic conolusion of
Uzziah's reign. The book el icings
toile us simply that -"Jehovah smote
the king," but -remains silent as to
tho sin thus punished. The ahroni-
tiler, however'many years after,
adds what he believes to have been
the 0480 of this eatastrephes name-
ly, the' presumptuous exercise, on
the part of Uzziala of the sacred
prerogative of the priests, of burns

which the king withstood them,

To burn /cleanse upon the altar—
An especially sacred ACt, and be-

Aaron (Exocl. 30. 1-10). Anyone
usurping these functions was liable
to the penalty of death. The rest
of the story speaks for itself, Aga -

deprived of royal functions and the
privileges of the house of Jehovah.

eord of the reign than the meager
