The distinction of'having "the largâ€" est circulation in the world" belongs to the Bible.

In 1894-5, for instance, the society alone issued nearly a million complete Bibles and over a, million New Testaments, the ex- act total, including portions. being 3,837,822. The number of Bibles, Tes- taments and portions issued up to Mzm-h 31, 1895, in over 300 languages by the society amounts to 143,396,230, while those issued by allied societies bring the total up to 231,291,824. 5'0 ashore of Cheâ€"F60“. thtrar: tq‘ealy rights.

Dry air and it will be good as new A sure preventive of moths is tansy. Sprinkle the leaves freely about your woolens and furs, roll closely in newsâ€" papers and place in boxes. Tansy was one of the much prized “yarbs” of our grandmothers, but has fallen out of sight since the advent of insect powâ€" ler. patent medicines, etc. A handful of tansy added to a boiling of clothes tends to bleach or clear them, and was much used before the advent of borax. When cleaning shades use bread.not too fresh, and to cleanyour sewing maâ€" chine of oil and dirt, apply kerosene. using the oil can for the purpose. Thor- oughly soak all parts to which the oil has been previously applied; run the machine a minute or two. then with a soft cloth go over the parts, carefully wiping off all excretions of lint, oil. dust, etc.; then; before beginning to operate your machine. oil up as usual. Many sewing machines become gummâ€" ed to such an extent as to be almost useless are are given up, when a lib- eral use of kerosene would entirely ren- ovate and rejuvenate them. Among the many uses to which newspapers can be put there is one not generally knownâ€"that of absorbing the dust of carpets.

It is the expression of the parents anger, when he vents it on the child for some mis- demeanor it may have committed. It seems rather barbaric and brutal to administer 'slans 01‘ whippings as pun- ishment; rather deprive the child of something of which it is extremely fond, an anticipated pleasure, or even a dessert. Nothing affects a child child more than seeing that those he loves are deeply hurt by his misbehav- ior. Children. as a rule. have tender hearts. and the appearance of sadness or sorrow on the part of the parent ap- peals to them more than all the threats or punishments ever could. Show ap- proval often when the little one is doing good, let him see that you are pleased and he will learn to be proud of doin what you wish. You will be surprise( at his efforts to please you. Too much stress is placed upon this vul- gar slapping and beating by impatient and angry parents, who often punish the little ones for faults to which they know they themselves are liable. and of which they are guilty. All children will be naughty. and too often mothers and nurses forget this. Study the child's character more. and what- ever you do, do not punish him for a fault which he has inherited from you unless you overcome it in yourseLf first. ROYALTY CHILDREN. Small families are hardly the rule among the English “ upper ten." The average is seven or eight. The queen is the mother of nine, and the Princess of Wales. of six children; Lord Aber- gavean is the proud father of ten. the D e of Argyll of twelve, the bean. tiful Countess of Dudley is the mother of seven, the Earl of Ellsmere boasts of eleven, the Earl of Inchiqujn of twelve, the Earl of Leicester of fifteen». and the Duke of Westminster of eleven.
