HOUSEHOLD HINTS,
Eat plenty of onions, especially
in the spring.
To make smooth mush, when
thickened, take crank egg' heater
and beat it well.
Placing a towel or cloth over the
ragged edges of a can in opening
will save eut fingers.
In sewing on sleeves, instead of
binding the seams, use the French
seam. It is much neater' and is
quickly done.
Large pads of colored blotting
paper make practical underlinings
for a thin bureau scarf; they also
save polished surfaces.
To keep fruit cake fresh, wrap in
towel and put into flour bin; cover
with flour, and it will keep moist
and fresh for weeks.
To make a good eye wash, add a
teaspoonful of powdered boric acid
to one cup of boiling water ; strain
and apply to the oyes night and
morning.
When making a garment which
requires two rows of machine
stitching, snake the second row from
the edge first, and it will insure a
straight edge.
Save egg shells when baking.
Take one shell, crush and put in
cruet, add a little water' and shake
well; also good for cleaning baby's
milk bottle and bowls.
If you find the sardine can hard
to open place a screw -driver or
something equally strong in the
loop of the key and turn, using the
serer, driver as a lever.
In sewing tape on hosiery, put it
through the length of the stocking
or sock instead of across. It will
not tear the hose nor rip as when
sewed on the other way.
Do not give a bird a bath often-
er than three times a week; thee
acki a little warm water to take the
chill off. This will keep your bird
frc.m taking cold easily.
To mend rubbers, buttonhole
each side of tear with heavy thread,
then sew button -hole stitches to-
gether. Cover with liquid blacking
and it never will be noticed.
To iron thin wash curtains easily
and keep them straight, double
them and iron, which shapes them,
and they then can be opened out
witrout trouble and ironed all over.
Infants' all wool stockings can
be kept from shrinking by washing
them in a light suds of a pure soap
and stretching them over jelly glas-
ses to dry. When dry press with
a medium hot iron.
To clean stovepipes successfully,
saturate a cloth with gasoline and
wipe. The dirt and grease will
come off like magic. Be careful of
fire. The best place to clean it is
on the back porch or yard.
An easily made gate to keep baby
in a room or from attesispting to
climb the stairs is an ordinary slid-
ing window screen put- in at the
botton of the door or stairway the
same as it is put in a window,
If the icing should harden before
putting it on the cake add a tea-
spoonful of cream and stir quickly
for a few seconds. This will soften
the icing Iong enough to enable it
to be put on the cake smoothly.
Take a safety pin, stick securely
through end of tape, fasten pin,
then as the pin is smooth it will
go through goods easily, drawing
tape with it. Is especially good for
tape that is too wide for ordinary
needle.
If milk burns in bottom of 'pan,
pour water,ih pan, set on stove, let
boil a few moments, and scum will
loosen of itself, where otherwise
you might scrape. half an hour, To
remove burnt taste from milk, pour
in fresh pan, set in cool water, and
milk will be all right in a minute,

putting the bill into the form of law, is to be marked by a grave-

the cloak of political ferocity which both sides adopt, we believe there

A VENERABLE AGREEMENT.
Natives of Egypt Loyal to One
Wl'itten in 1799.
To the dwellers in far corners of
the earth, black or brown or yellow,
Europeans are Europeans only.
They are all white men and all
Christians; the trifling differences
between Englishman and French-
man and German are not under-
stood any more. clearly by them
than the distinction between Ba-
songo and Matabele and Baganda
is understood by us. An amusing
instance in illustration is given by
Mrs. Butcher in "Egypt as We
Knew It."
When the British troops were
making their way up the Nile, in a
vain attempt to relieve Khartum
and save Gordon, they came to a
certain town and camped for the
night. Some of the soldiers went
off to obtain provisions, and appear
to have behaved badly. At any
rate there was a brawl of some
kind, and some natives were in-
jured. Order was restored, but a
deputation of village elders shortly
appeared and insisted on seeing the
•officer in command,
To his surprise, they formally re-
monstrated with him for breach of
contract. "On our side," they said,
"we had loyally kept and were
keeping it. You were allowed to
camp without interference, and we
were preparing to send you sup-
plies. Why, then, did you break
your agreement and send your men
into our village?"
"But," said the officer, "I have
no agreement with you. I never
saw or heard of your village be-
fore,"
"Are you not a white man and a
Frangi?" asked the village elders,
indignantly. "It is true we diel nob
make the contract with you;. our
fathers made, it with tlio white offi-
cer who came before you. But we
have the contract still, and can
show it yon."
The officer naturally expressed a
desire to see the contract, and the.
deputation wont away and brought
a letter written in 1799 by General
Desaix of Napoleon's army, in
which he undertook that none of the
soldiers of the advancing army
should at any time enter that par-
ticular village so long as the camp
was kept supplied with peovisione.

BIRTH OF THE WORLDS.
Prof. Bickerton Explains How New
Stars are Born.
How new stars were born was ex-
plained at the Royal Institution
last week by Professor A. W. Bick-
erton in the first of two lectures on
"The New Astronomy,"
Professor 'Bickerton, who has
been sent by the New Zealand Gov-
ernment to expound his theory of
the birth of the worlds to scientific
men in England, said that new
stars were born by solar collision.
"The impact of two colliding
suns," he said, "re.sults in the for-
mation of a third body; a brilliant
star flashes out and becomes per-
manent.
"A complete collision of two gas-
eous suns would result in the form-
ation of a new sun. Such collisions
are not accidental, and do not oc-
cur at random. Gravitation is in-
cluded among a number of agencies
tending to develop collisions; be-
fore suns come into collision they
fall toward each other, and get up
speed for hundreds of years.
"Tire tremendous speed thus de-
veloped is stopped suddenly in the
colliding parts, and converted into
heat. Thus, in about an hour a new
star is born, explosive force, ex-
pands it, and it swells out its dia-
meter at a speed of millions of
miles an hour..,,
Professor Bickerton, speaking of
Nova Persei, the new star of tho
new century, said it was to brilliant
that nothing equal to it has been
seen for 300 years. It was 10,000
times as brilliant as the sun.
IIIPOBTAN'.0 INVENTION.
From Straw It Is Possible to Obtain
Fibre for Spinning.
An invention perfected and tested
in Austria has caused no little ex-
citement in the textile world. It
consists of a process of treatment
of common straw whereby it is now
possible to secure, therefrom a fibre
suitable for :pinning. The discov-
erers themselves assert that their
success far exceeds their original
expectations.
While tete entire method is not t'ee-
veaied, it appears that the straw is
reduced to a jelly-like substance by
boiling, causing the separation of
the fibre from the outer shell, and
the fibre then treated in
hot air
machines. To this product is added
another fibrosis material, but never
more than twenty per cent„ so that
fully eighty per cent. is straw; The
resulting "stuff' has many of the
characteristics of the "fore" yarn
used in jute spinning.
The principal advents # t clasped
by the inventors ere that the new
,fibre has all the merits of the yerns
now produced; that the cost is only
ane -half that of similar products;
that the weight is forty pet cent,
loss; and that the goods are in b
every way desirable. Experts who dt

MARCH 17.
Lesson NI. The paralytic forgiven
and healed, Hark 2..1-12,
Golden Text, Psa. 103. 2, 3,
Verse 1. He entered again into
Oapernaum--After an absence of
some days, during which he. made
the preaching tour of Galilee re-
ferred to above.
It was noised—The rumor that
he had returned and was again in
the house (probably the house of
Simon and Andrew, where lie had
last been seen) spread quickly,
through the city.
2. Snake the word unto them—The
message of truth and glad tidings
he had come to bring to the world.
3. And they come—Certain un-•
named persons, a larger company
than just the four men with their
afflicted friend. The incident which
follows is introduced into the nar-
rative to illustrate how the words
of Jesus aroused the antagonism.
and hatred of "certain scribes"
(verse G).
A man sick of the palsy—Literal-
ly, a paralytic.
4. Uncovered the roof—The roofs
of Palestine houses were flat and
covered with tiles or, in the case of
the more modest dwellings, with'
thatch,.,
5. Their faith—More especially
the faith of the four men who would
not be deterred by any difficulties,
however great, from bringing their
friend to the notice of Jesus, The
sick man doubtless also exercised
faith, but the antecedent of the pro-
noun they is clearly the word four
in verse 3.
Son—Greek, child,
6. Certain of the scribes—Phari-
sees and lawyers, present for the
express purpose of watching, and,
if possible, finding cause for legal
accusation against him. Doubtless
some of those referred to were
emissaries from the hostile patty at
Jerusalem, by whom the death of
Jesu hacl already been determined
upon (compare Luke 5. 17; John 5.
18).
7. He blasphemeth—For strict
orthodox Jews who rejected the
Messianic claims of Jesus there was
no alternative verdict; the claim to
forgive sins implied, according to
their strictly orthodox views, a
claim to distinct equality with God.
This implied claim of Jesus these
men were quick to recognize. Hence
their question, Who can forgive
sins but one, even God? Having
rejected his claim to divinity, they
could not do otherwise than bit-
terly antagonize Jesus.
6. Perceiving in his spirit—Know-
ing who these men were, Jesus knew
they would understand his mes-
sage. He knew, too, that for them
there would be but two possible
courses of action with regard to
himself. Either they must receive
Itis message and become his disciples
or they must reject it and treat him
as an impostor and blasphemer.
The expression 0n their faces dotibt•-
less indicated which of these alter-
natives they were choosing.
9, 10. `Which is easier, to say—
As if Jesus had said, "You have
heard me say, Thy sins are forgiv-
en, but have no way of knowing
whether my word carries the nec-
essary power with it. But there is
another simple sentence, as easily
spoken, though as difficult of ful-
fillment with which we may make
the test of the power and author-
ity to which I lay claim. That word
is, Arise, and take up thy bed, and
walk. And that ye may know that
this power is really mine I will
speak that second word also."
Jesus doubtless would have
healed the sick roan any way, since
none of his miracles were performed
merely to gratify'curiosity or pro.'e
his ,power, Now, however, at the
very beginning of the long conflict
with the recognized religious au-
thorities, his enemies were not to
be left in reasonable doubt of the
validity of his claims, and, there-
fore, the miracle is permitted in
this ease to 'serve a double purpose.
It relieves actual suffering and re-
veals to the doubting scribes- asui'e.
and adequate ground for faith in
Jesus.
11. Tho word translated bed sig-
nifies any slight pallet or mat used
for midday sleep, or the service of
sick.

all eye witnesses of the sudden incl
complete healing of the sick man.
There was no reason left ter doubt.

THE Rt'NTER:HI.,'NTED),
i:xriting Ev�per•icnee With a Wound.,
ed Panther,
There is still big. game in _India --
game that can and often dons take
its turn in doing the hunting, The
etrong fight a wounded panther can'
make, even against men wall high-
power guns, is vividly deecribed by
Mr. R. G. Burton in the Times of
India. The animal in ,question had
been tracked to its lair in a. tthickly.
wooded ravine, raised by the beat-
ers, and shot by one of Mr. Bur-
ton's party.
We followed in the direction taken
by the wounded beast, but my hunt-
ing companion moved off to a short
distance from me to look for tracks.
I soon found spots of blood on the
dead leaves, and was following
these traces when the beast rose
from a slight depression in the
ground a few yards off, and charged
straight for a Sikh trooper, Gopal
Singh, who was carrying my spare
gun.
When I raised my rifle to my
shoulder, the beast, seeing the
movement, turned upon me with
gleaming eyes, uttering fierce
growls, I fired both barrels rapidly,
missing with one bullet, and with
the other striking the panther in the
chest, but failing to stop it. The
next instant its foul breath was in
my face; it seized my forearm and
bore me heavily to the ground.
I fell on the back of my head,
which picked up a good many
thorns, and was for a moment un-
conscious. In the fall, my arm was
torn from the beast's jaws, but it
seized me by the thigh, and bit
deep down almost to the bone. Go-
pal Singh now rushed up, clubbed
the shotgun, and beat the panther
over the head. Fortunately, the
beast did not turn on him, but leav-
ing me walked slowly back to its
lair, although it stopped once for a
moment and looked back at me. r
thought it was going to return and
worry me afresh.
All this has taken some time bs
describe, but it was over in an in-
stant. My companion had fired a
shot when the brute was on me, and
had rushed up to my assistance as
soon as lrossible,. I quickly put a
considerable space between myself .
and the scene of the disaster, for I
had had enough of the fight. I left
a bleed trail far mare distinct than
the one I had been following.
A great portion of the flesh of my
left forearm bad been torn out, and
the wound was •spouting blood, al-
thottgih fortunately the artery was
uninjured. There were three deep
wounds in my thigh --only three
canine teeth had penetrated -and
there were five claw wounds in the
calf of my leg.
With the aid of my eompanian and
another man, I managed to limp a
short distance to a eharpoy, on
which I was carried to camp. We
were still thirty miles from the rail-
wa.y, and it was eighteen hours be-
fore we arrived at the station, only
to find that the last train had gone,
and that there would not be another
for nearly twelve hours.
But good Samaritans—an Anglo-
Indian engineer and a missionary—
came to my astsistance with dress-
ings for my wounds, At four in the - .
afternoon a epecial train arrived,
with a doctor, and I was taken to
the cantonment, a hundred miles
off. There I was restored to com-
parative. strength in about six
weeks.
