To Clean Holland Blindsa—Ho land blinds which are only sliglit soiled can be easily dry -leaned a home. Remove the blind and ro ler from the brackets, and brats the blinelson both sides with a sof brush. Spread the blind on th kitchentable and rub it hard wit the white 'pert of a thick slice o stale bread. Soiled Paint.—The mistake is of ten made of cleaning white painted lintels, doors, and wainscoting wit hat soap and water. The heat o the water has the effect ef destroy ing the outer coating og varnish the result being that the paint seen wears away. For this reaeon a la ther should be made with Bet wa ter, and the suds then allowed to cool till just lukewarni, when it may be safely used. Cleaning; Delicate Fabrics.—The most delicate fabric can be success- fully washed at home by using soap jelly with a little ammonia and rain- water. A clear day naust be chosen for this operation, and colored ar- ticles must be dried in the shade to prevent fading.' Oak Furniture.—Dust the furni- ture thoroughly, wash it well with vinegar and water, and, when dry, rub there with a little parafan oil on a cloth, and finally polish with a clean dister. It will then look like new. A Good Cleaner.—Looking-glas- ses may he cleaned by first washing the glass all over with clean luke- warm soapsuds and a sponge. When dry, rub it bright with a buckskin and a, little prepared chalk finely powdered. • Removing Chemical Spots, — White spots which are formed on furniture bw dropping certain che- micals upon it, and which are al- most more unsightly than any other defect, can be removed by the application. of camphorated oil. This must be vigorously rubbed in to take effect, and should be left to dry. the spots being treated some little time later to an equally care- ful application of olive oil. A pol- ish with selvyt, or leather will fin- ally be required, Soot on Carpets. ---If soot is spil- led on the carpet it should never be wiped up with a cloth, for it is sure to smear over the carpet and make an ugly mark difficult to re- move. Scatter salt thickly over the place and sweep it end the soot to- gether. By so doing the spot will came up quite cleanly without leav- leg any mark et all. Wicker urniturce--This should he eleaned with a strong solution of salt and water. Scrub it well, and Anse with fresh water. Soap should not be tiated to wicker as it encourages a yellow tint. When very shabby -looking, wicker may be "freshed by being painted. The pallet used should be -well mixed and thinnedto the proper consist- enay. 11 to thick it. is apt to ro. main on the wicker in lumps. Dirty Ceiliegs.—When a white- washed dealing has become black- ened, apply a layer of starch and water to it with n piece of soft flen, eel, Allow it, to dry, the brush off lightly with * brush. The black - twee will have diseppeared, leays ing no restate whatever.

Doctor's Mist alio Altuost Put Young Malt ill Hill litcavo. Dr. Charles K. Mills, of Philardels phi, told at a dinner an amusing story of the influenoe of the imagin- ation oe the health. "A, young bank clerk," he said, "feeling fagged trona the excessive heat of a trying summer., coneulted a physician. The physician ques, tioned hire, sounded his lungs, and then said, gravely :-- " 'I will write you to -morrow.' "The next day the bank clerk re- ceived a letter from the medical man telling him that his right lung was gone and his heart seriously deranged, and advising him to leee no time in putting his affairs in or- der. " '01 course,' the doctor wrote, "you rnay live for weeks, but you may do well to leave nothing of itxmortance unsettled.' `Naturally, the young bank clerk was very much depressed by this sad letter, nothing less than a death -warrant. He did not, of course, go to work that morning, and before noon he was having trouble with his respiration, while severe pains shot rapidly through his heart. Ile did not get up all day, and on towards midnight he bad a sinking spell that caused his people to send post-haste for the doctor. "The doctor, on his arrival, was astounded. " 'Why,' he cried, 'there were no symptoms of this sort yesterday! What on eerth have you been do- ing to yourself "The patient's face screwed up with pain, he pressed his hand to his breast, and .said, feebly :— 'it's the heart, I suppose, doc- tor.' " The heart?' said the doctor, 'There was nothing yesterday the matter with your heart.' " 'My lungs, then,' the patient greened. "What ails you?' the doctor shouted. 'You don't seem to have been drinking.' " 'Your letter, doctor—you told me I had only a few weeks to live.' "'Nonsense! Are you crazy? I tdld you take a month's vacation at the seaside and you'd be as good as new again.' "The patient drew the fateful let- ter from a drawer beside hie bed. " 'Welt,' said the doctor glancing ab it, 'this is a pretty mete. This letter was intended for another man. My secretary mixed up the envelopes.' • "The patient laughed. He sat up in bed. His recovery was rapid. That night, in fact, he was well again. "And what," ended Mr. Mills— "what of the dying consumptive who had got this young man's let- ter? The consumptive, delighted with the prediction that a month at the seaside would make a sound man of him, pecked his trunk and took the first train for New Eng- land. That was ten years ago, and to -day he is in fair health." TAMING ItLEPteaNTS. — Experiment Now in Progress in the reneh Congo. In ancient times, as is well known, the African elephant was domesticated by the Caraginiens, who etnployed it in their wars with Rome. No African race has since succeeded in reelaiming.this highly intelligent and naturally docile an- imal, a fact -which has often been cited in proof of the general infer- iority of the Negro race. A successful experiment in tam- ing the African elephant was made some years ago in the French Con- go, while out of eight captured in Kamerun in 1900 three were suc- cessfully tamed, European officers generally; however, have been very unsuctessful in their attempts at taming the beast, But the Belgiau officials in the Congo now seem to have succeeded where so many have failed. Although no details are available as to the methods samployea, there seems to be no doubt whatever that African elephants ate now daily en- gaged in hauling carts containing mails and goods between Bute 22, Wouldest thee emitet—it was (on the Debi Rivet) and Ilarnbili probably in accord with the rude (marked in wane maps as T3On10. ethical ef that time to act as the king panda), on the Welle, a distatee of eagerly suggested.

The king of Syria was warring againtt Israel—The reign of jehoram was oontanually inter- mitted by the marauding expedi- tions of the warlike king of Damass cue, Ben-hadad. sOften these cam- paigns were,. nothing mere than forays such as the ene in which the latle maiden who later served In the household of Haaroalt was captured,. Then there emetic] be short periods of peace. 9, Beware that thou pees not such a place—How Elisha knew of the movements of the Syrians we are not told. It is enough that he was is mae of God. More than once (10) he was able te put the king of Israel on his guard, and thus foil the plottings of Den-hadad, who doubtless purposed to eeize this royal person while he Was hunting or on some other chance journey. 11. Which of us is for the king of Israel 1—He suspected that his plans went amiss because of treason in the camp. • ' 12. Elisha . . . telleth the king of I;rael—Appareetly it was coMmon report among the attendants of the king. The prophet's fame tenet have spread greatly with the not- able cure of Naaman, and it would not be difficult or unnataral for the captain's friends to think of Elisha as reporting the most secret coun- sels of their king. 13. Ge and see where he is—It was a forlorn policy to think he could surprise a man who divined his attest carefully guarded secrets. The place where he happened to be living, Dothan, was so near the ca- pital (less than a dozen miles in the same plain, through which ran the great caravan rente from Egypt to Damascus), that it shows how thoroughly at the mercy of the Syrian power the Israelites were that they permitted the enemy to amproach so close with the expecta- tion of getting away unmolested. 15. The servant --Some other, of course, than Gehezi, who, it will be remembered, brought about his own undoing through covetousness. Alas! . . . how shall we do ?---This is ever the question of desperation upon the lips of the world in per- plexing straits. There is little help for those who cannot see beyond their 0Nrn shadow. 16. They that are with us—To the man who walks not by sight krat by faith there is a world of ever -real and omnipotent defense. We are not dependent alone upon psalmist and prophet for this assurance. The church of God has never been with- out evidetme of it, and any man may test for himself the reality of unseen divine protection. 17. The mountain—Dothan com- manded a pass which crossed the ridge of Mount Carmel. It was all ablaze with the spiritual forces with which God surrounded his servant Elisha. In like manner he shelters every believing soul. This may not mean a, guarantee of freedom from the various ills of this world ("In the world ye have tribulation"), but it does mean spiritual security in the performance of God-given tasks. The outward natal may per- ish, but the man himself, his soul, his inviolable. as, Smite this people wadi blind- ness—The word for "blindness" is very unusual, being found only here and in Gen. 19. 11, The con- text seems to Oicey that the Strrians were visited with a kind of illusion, so that it was easy for Elisha to deceive them as to their where- abouts, and to hold them under the spell of this delusion until he bad guided them into the very etrong- hold of their enemies. 21.
