T. V. Pow derly, of the Knights
of Labor, has put to a very potent
appeal for a perfect Sabbath dsy for
rest, and fired a solid' shot at the
sal^nti and its evil' iufinence that
should win the commeud.tliou of
workingmen all ever the country.
Mr, Powderly is tiro honest and
earnest as a friend of labor' to see
anything but want and WOO spring
from a frtcuil]y interest in the
saloon.
A correspondent of Lite Presby•
terien .Observer, writing from
Kansas, relates the following ; "A
man said to mo : '1 tarns hero to
get away from whiskey. illy neigh-
bor, who has eix Brawn sous, said
its.I left Ohio, I want you to write
and let me know if prohibition does,
prohibit, for :t must get my boys
away from the saloon -power, or I
fear they tt'i11 go to the bad.' This
friend told me, 'I shall write him
that it does effeotually pcobibil, for
loan gat no liquor, not even for
medicine."
The Christian Standard, of Phila-
delpina, says :—"High license de-
feated prohibition in Pennsylvania ;
but, under the decision of our Su-
preme Court, how about 'high
license' now ? It yott helped the
devil to win this last battle, don't
waste your time in useless sighs.
Fathers, mothers, 'staters, wives,
children, widows and orphans can
do that for you. This is the way
'high licence' and every other wrong
pays in the end." Tho defeat of
prohibition in Pennsylvania was a
victory 'for high license, and a
victory for high license is a victory
for tits devil' every time. Some
honest people may not see this now,
but it will not require more than
ten years of high humeri rule to de.
tnonattate it so plainly that they,
cannot help but see.

Some one Asked an old lady about
a sermon, "Could you remember

At what absurd trifles souse

Household Hints.
Boiled starch makes an escelleut
paste.
A cup of Itot water droult before
meals will relieve eaasee and
dyspepsia.
One teaepoonful of ammonia to a
teacupful of water will clean gold or
silver jewellery.
When fiat irons become rusty
blacken them with stove polish and
rub well with a dry brush.
Use charcoal to broil with. The
flames close the puree quiotily and
make the meat very tender,
One or two •tablespoonfuls of
ammonia added to a pail of water
will clean windowe bettor titan soap.
Great improvement will be found
in lea and coffee if they are kept in
glass fruit jars instead of tin boxes.
For ink spots on floors rub with
send wet with water and oil, of
vitrof, and afterwards rinse with
pearitna water.
Silver can be kept bright for
mouths by being planed in au air-
tigbt case with a good sized piece
of Camphor gum.
A teaspoonful of borax added to
cold eterati will make clothes stiffer
than auything else I ever tried, but
it adds no polish_
Orange• peel, when thoroughly
dried or baked, is it capital thing
for lighting fires. It burns fiercely
and gives out an intense heat.
Equal parts of ammonia and bur-
peutine will take paint out of cloth.

When the glees globes of (llamado.
liere have become smoked and
grimy, soak them in hot water to
which a little sal soda has been
added. Then put some ammonia
into hot water, enter the globes and
scrub briskly with a stiff brush.
Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
Put dishes, tumblers and other
glees articles into a kettle, cover
them, entirely with cold water, and
put te kettle where it will soon
boil. When it has "boiled a few
minutes, set it aside covered close,
When the water is cold take out the
glass. This process will harden the
articles so that they will not be so
easily broken.
Ready.made clothiug, whether
