Into just enough boil- ing water to dissolve them nicely. Stir constantly until the soap is dissolved, then add two tablespoonfuls powdered borax, and a scant teacup kerosene. Remove the mixture from the stove be- fore adding the kerosene. Stir it well, then pour into a covered stone jar, and use It 'whenever anything very dirty, either cloth, tinware, woodwork, or iron utensils, is to be cleaned. Ap- ply a little to the outside of your tea- kettle, while it is hot, using a flannel oloth for the purpose, and see how quickly you oan clean it, and 'how bright it will be. Use a little, also, when cleaning your windows, and you'll never again regard that task as something to be put off as long as possible.

Let them boil until they are sufficiently clean, then rinse them and hang them out. Such work will almost do itself, while, one is attending to other duties, and the task of keeping clean is thus robbed of more than one-half its ter- rors. 4 • SOME GOOD RECIPES. Egg Balls For Sup. -The number of eggs varies with the quantity of soup. They should be bciled hard and the yolk pounded into a morter until smith. Mix them with a little of the yolk or raw egg, a little salt and a bit of flour to hold them together. Roll Into email balls, boil in water and add to the soup just before serving.

BLANKETS, It is Well to look over the supply of blankets and see what we wish to do with them before the winter weather is upon us. A blanket seldom gets so bad- ly worn that the pieces cannot he used. They usually wear thin in the middle first. Cut them in two 'lengthwise, turn 'the selvidge edge toward the middle, and overhand together just as you would a sheet. Finish the Tut edges, with buttonhole' stitch, 'using any kind of yarn you happen to have. This will greatly lengthen their period of usefulness. If worn uniformly throughout, it will make a good lining for a woollen comfort, or the best pieces of several may be joined together with flat Reams and used for interlining of a comfort, taking the place of part of the cotton batting, betaking a vary light, warm oover. In using f,vvo or more thick- nesses of blanket in this way, try to have the worn places in one come in a strong plasm in the other. It often happens) that the ends of a blanket are quite good, while the re- mainder is worn threadbare. Cut them off and make skirts of them for the children. The lower edge may be bound or finished with scallops, crocheted of good yarn. If they are too light col- ored, dye them any shade of red, brown or blue you prefer. They will eook (emit] and wear better that' almost. any material that is sold for skirts. Blankets or any other woolen fabric) may he washed without shrinking or losing their soft, fleeey look. Use soft water that is as warm as you can bear your hand in comfortably, and have the water the same temperature throughout the proesess. ,Dissolve enough pearline in the water to make a gond suds, end wash with as little rubbing as poasable to remove the dirt.

Oyster Pattles.-One pint of small oysters, one oupful of oream, a large teaspoonful of flour; salt and pepper to taste. Bring the magma to a, ball in the double boiler, mix, the flour witlea little cold milk and stir into the boil- ing cream and season. Bring the oys- ter% to a boil in their own liquor,skim and draiu oft the liquor. Add the oysters to the cream,. boil up once, fill the patty shells and serve very hot. Oyster Frioaese.-.Put a large lump of butter inapan over a brisk clear fire, stirring until it browns. Then add, a little at a time, the strained liquor from a pint .of oysters. Thicken with brown flour to about the consis- tency of rich sauce, simmer the oys- ters in this until the edges curl. Serve on three -cornered pieces of toasted bread, which have had the crust carefully removed. Oyster Loaf -Take a long loaf of Vienna, bread, out a slice from the upper oiust and scrape all the crumbs of white bread from the inside. Spread the inner side with butter. Fill with oysters seasoned highly with salt and pepper, adding half a stalk of chopped oelery. Cover the top open- ing with the slice of crust firstremov- ed, to form a lid. Set in a pan and hake in a good oven for twenty minu- tes, basting frequently with the oys- ter liquor. Serve on a very hot plat- ter, slicing the loaf like bread. Little Pigs in Blankets.--Seleot good rigid oysters, take each separately, season highly, rub slightly with crac- ker dust, then wrap each up in a acrY thin slice of bacon held in place by a small tooth pick.

After beating the remaining egg, dip the cutlets into it, and then into bread crumbs, and fry in fat until brown. A minute and a half would suffice Per the cooking. Serve with bechamel or anchovy sauce. TO CLEAN SMOKY PAINT. Many housewives have no doubt been greatly annoyed when cleaning the paint in the kitchen to find it would look streaked and cloudy, especially if an oil or gasoline stove had been used. A very easy and satisfactory way to clean it is to go over it with kerosene oil, which removes the smoke, then wash in soapsuds, rinse it in clean wat- er and wipe with a dry oloth; the ef- fect is surprising.

Mrs. !weary Cia'ord, of Kentville, Proves the Value of Dr. Williams' Pink MD In this Condition. From the Acadien, Wolfville. N.S. The case of Mrs. Henry Gifford, of Kentville, who some time ago was cured of a distressing malady through the medium of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, [rot peculiar value as illustrat- ing the rapidity with Which this re- markable medicine operates. A repre- s,entative of the Acadien who called upon Mrs. Gifford the other day to eli- cit information, concerning her mire, found her to be a very intelligent lady, and a hearty advocate of theme; of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Upon learning the object of his call Mrs. Gifford expressed herself as pleased at the prospect of having an opportun- ity to give publicity to her remarkable cure. "I have told all my friends about it," she said, " but have often felt that it was my duty to hive u statement of my case published in the papers.'' Three years ago this spring my sys- tem was in a badly run down state. In this condition I was attacked by a heavy cold and an enlarged tonsil of great size and extreme painfulness was the result. For 9 weary months I was unible to turn my head and my health became such that I could not exert myself in the least. Several physioiins were oonsulted. but without the slight- est benefit, The swelling was finally lanced hut the operation only aggra- vated the matter a.s my blood was so impoverished that the incision did not heal but developed into a running sore. Despondency seizedme and at times I almost wished that I was dead. At last by a happy chance 1 was advised to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. After using a 'few boxes the swelling dis- appeared and perfect health and buoy- ancy of spirits returned. Since that time Mrs. Gifford has had implicit eon- fidence in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and has used them for any physical disorder of herself or children with the same happy results. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills create new blood, build up the nerves, and thus drive disease from the system. Tn hun- dreds of cases they have cured after all other medicines had failed, thus estab- lishing-lhe client that they are a marvel among the triumphs of modern med- ical 'science. The genuine Pink Pills are sold only in boxes, bearing the full trade mark, "Dr. Williams' P nk Pills for Pale People." Protect yourself from impoeition by refusing any pill that does not bear the registered trade mark around the box. If ui doubt send direct to the Dr., Williams' Med- icine Co., Brockville, Ont., and they will be mailed toyou post paid at 50o. a box, or six boxes for $2.50. REVERSED CIRCUMSTANCES.

QUEER DIVORCE LAWS. im Some Countries Very TrIvai Causes are Stifileient for Separation. Although it is happily not possible in every country to dissolve the mar- riage tie becau.se a husband has an aversion to soap or because a wife has a tongue more active than her fingers, iot there is a ludicrous facility in many lands frgettingridof an undesir- ableWife orhusband. In Greece, a wife to maintain her po- sition, must be, the very " pink of pro- priety ;" and if she goes to theater or race meeting, or even dines with a friend, without her husband's sanction, ha rimy send her back to her mother and bid her stay there. Time was, and not long ago, in Crete when a man might divorce his wife if she appeared likely to add too many quivers to his bow; and in Russia, if husband and wife wished to part for any reason whatever, all they need do was to adjourn to some public place, and in the presence of onlookers tear a strip of muslin in two. In Morocco it is not fashionable to be attached too long to any partic- ular wife, and a man's social position may be gauged by the number of wives he has divore,ed. It is quite common „for a men to helm married and parted from a score of wives before he has renched the age at which the aver- age Fnglishman thinks it prudent to Marry. In Fiance, during the "time of ter- ror," the daring experiment wastried of allowing divorces at will and with- out any assigned cause. The results were disastrous or hippy according to the point of view ; for within a year 4,000 couples agreed to part in Paris alone, and within a short time there were actually more divorces than mar- riage a every year. It is interesting to speculate how ming so-cilled hippy unions would be dissolved in Englend if such a sweep- ing chenge were introduced into our lews. The advan'age of the sysaem was thit a men might remarry his wife if a penitent mood supervened: and the curious result west thit many cou- ples were married and divorced sever - el times before they finally made up their minds. En Japan. if an oblinue-eyed beauty gives too much rein to her tongue "off 'she goes," to learn 1 het a discreet re- ticence is a virtue in a wife. fn Gernainy is the wife uses her hus- h...n(1's purse too freely he Gen keep th•e. purse to himself. end hid her go, while he looks out for a fraulein of simpler taates.

Eighteen hundred years ago or there- abouts the Roman Emperor Trajan built a bridge across the Danube, the piers of which are found by the Rou- manian engineer, solid enough to sus- tain a new structure, which will un- ite the towns' of Ternu Severin, in Rou- menie, and Gladova, in Servia. In the middle of the structure the statue of Trojan will stand four square to all the winds that blow, as well it deserves to do, perpetuating the memory of thit great conqueror and bridge build- er for perhaps nnother score of cen- turies.

I had abbreviated the woad or words when I wrote them, and written them in- distinctly besides. Sometimes I can go over the ground I have travelled in my naiad and bring back the incident, and it is always agreeable to be able to recall things that have escaped us but which we wish to remember, but if I ein't bring back the meaning of the memorandum, why, I cross it off, and let it go; that's all I oan do.

For a long time she was a victim of ill -health. which pre vented her from performing her sociail and domestic duties, greatly to the re- gret of her many friends.

Army pets whose sterling worth is appreciated by their masters and their masters cronies are numberless, but dogs who rise to the position of "regi- mental pets," who become part and parcel of the regiment at home and in action. and who receive official recog- nition, are comparatively few. "Bob was the regimental pet of the and Battaliob, Royal Berkshires, and a soldier dog to the backbone. He ac- eompaaied his regiment to Afghanis- tan and weal through at the battle of Maiwand one of the moat terrific days' fighting that has been known during the past generation. ' Man after man was cut down, but Bob would not be denied his share in the fray. He kept on running to the front, barking fiercely at the enemy, until at length a bullet laid him low. The wound. was serious enough, as it tore nearly all the skin off his back, but ho recovered and once again ac- companied his old corps into action. When the regiment returned to England the next year Bob received great honor at the hands of the Queen, her Majesty not only decorating him with the medal for the campaign, but tying it round hi a neck with her own hands when the regiment paraded be- fore her at Osborne House, Like many another warrior, Bob did not live long to enjoy the blessings of peace. In a little more than a year he was run over and killed in the Isle of Wight. "Regimental Jack," the ScotsGuards' dog, took part in the hottest fights in the Crimea. He became the pet of the guards in a curious fasleon. One cold winter's night he was found by a sentry in St. ,Tenaes' Palace Gar- dens. Sono; one had been brutally iii - treating han and had ended by fling- ing him over the high wall. In befriending the poor animal the sentry left hi i post, and this derelic- tion of duty being discovered, he was placed in the guard room under arrest. The dog fo.lowed his protector, and on hearing aha story, the officer was 50 tOUCht!li by the dog's gratitude that the prisoner was released, with the proverbial caul ion. Henceforth Jack's fortunes were to be bound up with those of the Scots Guards, When the regiment went to the Crimea he very soon showed the stuff of which he was made. At Alma he saved the life of his pro.tector, and aft- erward carried a flask of brandy to the wounded. At Inkerman he was wounded in the right foot, after literally performing prodigies of valor. With his two -leg- ged comrades he charged, and with tooth and nail went for his country's enemies. The fight over, the faithful animal went joyfully to find his protector. Find him he did, but it was among the slain. and Jack was disconsolate. When the regiment came home the Queen graciously noticed Jack, and he was invested with a miniature Victoria Cross and the Crimean medals; but he pined away- from sheer lack of interest in life, and one morning shortly after- ward he was found beneath the snow, sleeping his last sleep.
