"Wlmt It the mutter with yon" and your

Another thing you can do with him
you win thrust him Imck from your

Inoffensive person come and persists in
tamllng close up to you, and you luivo In

then you ask the, reason of hW Impertinence

Yet I know you will not treat Jetus thnt
way. Wheu White could not do that, you
could not. Desperadoes and outlaw
might do so, but I know that that is not
the way you will treat him, that that It
not what you will do with Jesus. There

good; no more save your soul than the
admiration you have for John Milton or

I can think of only one more thlm: you
can do with Jesus, ami that It to take hi in
Into your hearts. That It the best thing
you can do with him; thnt is tho only s.ife
thing you can do with him, mid may the
Lord omnipotent by his spirit help me to
pfnuiude you to do thnt. A minister of
Christ was speaking to some children nud

Why, my friends, you put more trust
in everybody than you do In Christ, nud in

Oh, see the dethronement of heaven's
king! tho conqueror fallen from the white
horse! the massacre of a God! Weep, ye
who have tears, over the loneliness of his
exile and the horrors of his darkness.
Christ sacrificed on the funeral pyre of a
world's transgression: the good for the

tho cherished darling of an accomplished

We do not disregard the Bible command.
"He ye not forgetful to entertain strati

have not found ut 'some time the "angel

that there it another side, anil that she

have a right to expect that we will do all
we can to make their stay with ut pleasant

vite another to visit her nml then fall to do
all shi can to make her guest's visit enjoy
able. To fall at any point where It Is pos
sible to do otherwise Is rudeness. It may
be that meant are limited nud the home
small; but the welco should be warm
nml the very most made of everything.
The Instincts of hospitality lead one to
do all this, We Invite our friend Into our
home because we believe It will bo mutual
ly plentanl to thus be together, and while
we tiyto please we hope also to receive
I pleasure.

"The large death rate among babies,"
said a leading physician, "results to a great
extent from the injudicious use of cow'j
milk. The child's stomach is too weak to
liei'.r anything hut mother's milk or lac
tatetl foiil. This lactated food is a puro
substitute for thetiuturul diet, and In many
cases in my practice has, I believe, saved
tho child's life."

The fashionable woman of wealth buys

Not long into, in 11 pietty morning room
up town, Is-longlug to the daughter of a
rich man even among New York's rich
men, theie sat, chatting lightly after tho
fashion of their kind, four young girls
one the owner of the rismi, the other tluec
friends. They had all been al the Mine
dance the night hefote, and the hostett
was taking down the guwushe had worn
from the clothes tree, where It hung, to
show nml comment ou a mishap which had
nearly ruined Its new I'm Man elegance,
As she did so the long gloves, exactly the I
simile 01 tlie itri-tt, fell to the Hour One
of the girls p Ned them up,
"Thank you," said their owner, untieing
her. "Their usefulness it over too. but,
fortunately, I bought six pairs of the same
shade to have plenty of fresh ones."
"Hut these look perfectly flesh yet,''
commented another of the girls.
"No, they'ie not," wat the antwer. "A
pair of gloves to a dance It my Invariable
rule. And I never wear cleaned gloves."
"Well, I do." "And I," "And I," came
from her companions. Whereupon the
pretty hostess turned quickly:
"Why, girls," she cried. "If that's the
case, go through my glove drawer and
stock yourselves up. There's many a pair
there will bear cleaning," and she drew
out a wide, shallow drawer in the bottom
of a wardrobe "Here," she said, "It where
I throw discarded gloves, and every once
In a while I bundle off a lot of them ton
little friend of mine In the country She
won't miss one drawei fill."
The girls laughed and seated themselves
on the lloor before the drawer. The glove

they were unrolled, smoothed mid laid out.
not a pair was found with a rent or any
marked soil. Seventy-nine pairs of gloves
by actual count was the yield of the
drawer, which gave each of tlie three
twepty-llve pairs apiece, with four pair

To lleleel Oleiiiniii purine.
Most housekeepers would trent with
scorn tlie idea that they would be tumble
to distinguish oleomargarine from butter,
but at n matter of fact it it now made tc
imitate the genuine article so closely that
no one but au expel t chemist or buttei
dealer could tell, by simple inspection, the
one from the other. It It a mistake to sup
pose tliat oleomargarine It dlsagieeahle
either in taste or odor. .Made at It Is from
purilled fatt and oils the llavor may be
somewhat tame, but this It usually cor
reeled by salting, and. too, the materials
me frequently churned with milk so that
the Imitation is almost peifect.
If there Is a small amount of butter
present in oleomargarine, say as much as
lft or 'JO per cent., the only method of deter
mining that the material Is not genuine
butter Is by chemical analysis, but if, at Is
almost invariably the case, there has been
no butter added to It, the housekeeper can
determine this for herself with at gn-at
certainty at the experienced chemist. It is
only necessary to place about u tablespoon
fill of the suspected material in a small
tin cup or pan and heat it on the stove.
Hutter will melt quickly, give off its char
aetoiistlcodor and foam up until it has
reached several times its original bulk
Oleomargarine will not foam at all, but
will net just like hot fat Into which water
has been spilled. It will spurt and crackle
and drops of the melted fat will be pro
Jetted from the tilth Precisely the same
effect may be gotten by mixing a little
water with lard and heating it If ut the
same time some genuine butter It heated
in another 1IM1 the contrast between the
two effects will be very evident. Pilladel

A ilnpitlu-se lljKleule Until.
Ill hygienic matters tlie .Japanese have
everywhere a habit which may have a les
sou for us. In their nightly bath ami morn

warm, but always as hot as it cau Ik
liorne. To foreigners this habit seems very
surprising, but the most Inveterate Kug
llsliman, If he stays In the country long
enough, abandons hi cold tub in Its favor.
The cold taking which it Is (inspected
must follow it is not found to occur if the
water bus been hot enough. This heat In
nmlnU'lned by a little furnace beneath the
bath. In the bath the bather or bather
take a prolonged soaking, the washing
proper being done on the bathroom lloor.
then follows a second and final soaklnu',

This habit seems to promote softness and
suppleness of the skin, and by persons lu
cliiied to rheumatism Is soon found to be
altogether prefeiable to the cold bath in
every particular. The poorest of die .lap
