To remove grease from wall paper cover the spots with blotting paper and hold a hot iron near it until the grease is ahsm‘bcd. To keep tins bright, wash well with strong hot soda and water; when dry polish with a cloth and a lit- tle powdered whiting. 883320 Before boiling milk rinse out the saucepan with a little but water; _ it will prevan the milk sticking to the bottom of the pan. The juice of the pineapple is an active digestive agent; A little of the fruit taken at the end of a meal Is a. valuable preventhe of dyspep- Sla. To make. silk that has been washed look like new, put a. tcaspoonful of methylated spirits to a pint in the rinsing water and iron while damp. A little soda. put into the water in which dried beans are soaked will expedite the process wonderfully without influencing the flavor of the beans. Parsley may be kept fresh and a good color for several days if put in a. covered earthen jar in a cool place. It will last much longer than if kept in water. For :1 Starch polish. make a. good thick solution with gum arabic. Add a tablespoonful of this to the hot starch. If cold starch is required, dissolve a tablespoonful of gum in one pint of water. and use it when cold for mixing the starch. Keep a. flour barrel elevated at least two inches from the floor on a Rack. to allow a. current of fresh air to pass under it and prevent dampâ€" ness collecting at the bottom. Do not allow any groceries or provisions with a strong odor near the flour barrel. To make paperhangcr’s paste mix one ponn-d of flour and one teaspoon- ful of powdered alum to a smooth paste with cold water, then pour on to this enough fast-l.)oiling water to turn and thicken it. It should be stirred briskly while the water is beâ€" ing poured on. Varnished wallpaper should be washed with awhitewash brush and a warm, soapy lather. The brush should be squeezed slightly after be- ing dipped in the lather, and the Work should be performed from the ceiling downwards. One patch must be finished all the way down before beginning the next. A hydropathic treatment of a cold in the head is more reliable than any other. It is as follows:â€" In the morning after rising and at night be- fore retiring, wash the feet and legs 'as high up as the knees in cold waâ€" ter, then rub them with .a rough towâ€" el and massage them until the skin is red and glowing. Ink stains are often very troubleâ€" some to remove from wood, but the following treatment will be found most efiectual. Touch the spot with a camelâ€"hair brush or feather dipâ€" ped in spirits of nitre. and when the ink begins to disappear rub the spot over as quickly as possible with a. rag which has been dipped into cold water. Sufferers from asthma and bron- chitis should take a teaspoonful of this remedy three times .a day, or one. dose at night will greatly relieve wheezing and irritation. One table- spoonful of ipecacuahne wine, two tablespoonfuls of honey, two table spoonfuls of lemon juice. First melt the honey, then add the other ingred- ients. WIIX’ YEAST RAISES DOUGH. How many good housewives know Kidney just why yeast causes their bread to lrise, and when their dough fails to rise. how many can tell just \\l1_\ ‘? The cause of succn-ss or failure is due to the action of yeast. Yeast is a plant. a Cell so small that only unâ€" der the microscope is it visible. If lis estimated that the individual yeast plant is not more than 1-2900 of an inch in diameter. The yeast exists in three states; the resting state, as when the good housewife gets it in her yeast cake; the growing state and the sporeâ€"bearing state. It is with the growing state that the housewife has to do in making iher bread. W'lien a little yeast is placed in a solution which contains proper material for food, it begins to grow by a. method called budding; that is. each individual plant puts out a whole lot of little plants from itself. Thus, when it is put into the dough, the plants find food in the sugar, to which some of the starch has been changer]. The yeast feeding on the materials in the dough fer- ments the sugar, producing carbon dioxid and alcohol. The carbon diâ€" oxid accumulated as a gas in small bubbles, and the dough being sticky and heavy. it is not possible for these bubbles to rise up to the surâ€" face as in ordinary fermented liquids. The gas. therefore, simply collects as small bubbles in the midst of the jdough, causing the whole mass to swell. The heat of baking drives off the small amount of alcohol and thus expands the bubbles of the gas, caus~ ing the dough to rise still more. This makes the broad light and porous. It also makes it more digestible. Yeast plants grow readily in Warm temperatures, and best if kept be- tween 75 and 90 degrees. If above 90 degrees, bacteria are apt to grow, giving the bread undesirable flavors. ’I‘lius dough which has been kept too long is apt to sour. Sour bread is due to the development during ferâ€" mentation of certain acids in the dough, which coire not from the acâ€" tion of yeast. but from the growth of bacteria. present either in the yeast or in the flour. ! Bearing these facts in mind. the housewife who desires good bread should see that fresh yeast only is employed. a good quality of flour used. and that the dough is mixed in clean utensils. After mixing, the dough should be placed in a clean .dish at a temperature of 75 degrees in winter, so that the bread will rise in about eight hours. Following these simple rules, little difficulty will be encountered. ‘ SOME G OOD RECIPES.

Commissioner, Who Suffered. Dreadfully From These Ailments, En- tirely Cured by ER. BHASE’S KlDNEYâ€"LVER nus. Bad circulation of the blood, the usual cause of the extremely painful and dangerous diseases. arises from defective action of the kidneys. The blood cannot possibly be pure and in a fit. condition to nourish the body when the kidneys are diseased and fail to filter from it the poisonâ€" ous waste matter. Dr. Chase‘s Kidney‘Liver Pills, by their direct and healthful action on the kidneys, not only overcome disâ€" eases of the kidneys. but by doing so ensure a purifying of the blood. Mr. William ll.

His Later Speeches Became Full of the Most Bitter Epithets. It is a strange omission that an adequate biography of Daniel O'conâ€" ncll was not written long ago. says a, reviewer of l‘oIacdonagh's “Life of Daniel O'Connell," in the London Spectator. Whatever we may think of the “Member for Ireland" we cannot deny that his career deserves a record. In a higher degree than any politician of his time, be disâ€" played the histrionic gift; he knew precisely how to capture the public attention and keep it: and he appeals to our sense of drama. apart from the views which he held so portinaciâ€" ously and advocated with such ranâ€" corous equucncc. Daniel O'Connell was born in Ker- ry in 1775, the son. to use his own words, of a “grazicr, or gentleman farmer.” Iiut he has a characteris- tic pridc in his birth. When he was described by a journalist as of Inim- ble origin, "The vagabond, he lies," exclaimed O'Connell. "when he Says I'm of humble origin. My father's family was very ancient. and my mother was a lady of the first rank." l’l‘hc boast reminds us of Barry Lynâ€" don. lluf however distinguished was lO'L‘onni-ll's ancestry his grandfather land father were L'uttlf' dealers in {comfortable circumstances. and llaniâ€" lei himself was adopted and ud‘ucatcd by his uncle Maurice. The boy was educated abroad. as was the custom 'of Human Catholics. and learnt. what .l.atin and Greek he could acquire at the College of St. Omer, whence he v'as transfern-d to Ilouai: and he left ‘l"runrc on the day that Louis XVI. was executed. full of hatred for the !l{cvolufion and all its works. Ind wd. :it is SJlIl that as the Ifnglisli lflt'imu isziilcd out of ('al;1is harbor hu- lthe tricolor. which prudence li‘dfl forc- ed him to wear, from his hat and fore ' flung it into the sea.

"I Slave," he wrote, “from my heart. I llovm lilwrty. Liberty is in my ‘bosom less a principle than a pasâ€" sion. but I know that the victories of the, French would be amended with bad consequences. 'I'he Irish are. not yet sufficiently enlightened to bear the sun of freedom. Freedom would soon dwindle into lim‘ntiousness. They would rob, they would murder." “'0 may regret that O'Connell did not always preserve this attitude of mod- eration: but he was a politician who grew in violence as he grew in years. .and the conflict of his career did not 'infcusify the bitterness of his thought and speech, Ile choSe the bar for his profession. was called in lTQP-l. and seems to have suCCceded from the. very first. He was not a great law- yer. but there can be no doubt that he was a most persuasive advocate. NOT IIICST OF IllISI-IMEL . It would not be difficult to finri‘ a hundred greater Irishmen than O'Connell, but it is enough to men- tion twoâ€"Burke and “rattanâ€"superi- or to him in intolligcnce, patriotism and true eloquence. We would even assert that Parnell was, in many re- spects. a greater and a more unselfish agitator than O'Connell. O'Connell's acceptance of the faJnous money tri- bute has never been wholly justified. Mr. Macflonagh is, content to say that it was an “income worthin earned and generously paid." But even an agitator may live on less than £13,001) a year, and it is difâ€" ficult to respect a man who flattered his own extravagance often at the. expense of a famine stricken country. Disraeli's reply to him in 183.“; was too bitter, but it had in it an eleâ€" ment of justico. . 'I)ISltAl".I.I'.\‘ HAltffASlf-J. "\Vifh rig-art] to your taunts as to my want of success in my election contests," Disraeli wrote, “permit inc to remind you that I had nothing to appeal to but the good sense of the people. No threatening skeletons canvassed for me. A death's head and crossboncs was not bla7oncd on my banners. llly Pecuniary resourc- es, too, were limited. I am not one of those public beggars that we see swarming with their obtrusive boxâ€" es in the chapels of your creed; nor am I in possession of a princely revâ€" enue arising from a Starving,r race of fanatical slaves." The words are hard, as we have. said. but compare. them with O'Connell's attack and you will have no doubt which was the better hand at invective, which had the better case. The truth is. that the vituperation upon which O'Connell prided himself, is his most wearisome quality. Ilis Language was habitually so violent that the worst insult which fell from his lips soon ceased to have either sting or meanâ€" the habit of abuse ing; and clearly was far more reprehensible in one sworn by remorse never again to fight a duel. BITTER LANGL'AGE. But in his words Wellington is “a stunted corporal," Alvanley “a, bloatâ€" ed buffoon." Lyndhurs-t “a lying misâ€" crcant and a contumelious cur," Sir Henry I’l'ardingc “a oncharmcd ruf- fian." But perhaps his most elegant. effort was a description of the House of Lords. “They are the somped pigs of society," said he, ‘the real swinâ€" ish multitude, as obstinate and as ignorant and as brutish as their pro- totypes." Though the words were then greeted with “great laughter and cheering," they appear monstrous to-day. An orator who uses a mere mass of scurrilous words is like a tired man gasping for bryufh. Never- theless. O'Connell had the useful fac- ulty of compelling others to look at him and listen to him; he also had a rare talent for attaching his people to his person. But after reading his biography we are in still greater dif- ficulty to find an answer to the ques- tion asked by Mr. Lccky, “Whether ‘liis life was a blessing or a curse to Ireland?" ___._¢_.- DISINFECTED DI’FTIES.

Dr. Lapponi, the famous physician to the Vatican, whose. name has rc~ cvntly come so greatly to the front on account, of his unremitting atten- tion to llis Holiness the late Pope. Leo XIII, and the high esteem with which he is regarded by the present Pope, Ilis lloliucxs Pius X.. is a. man of commanding genius. But he is something more than that. lie is more than a mere man of science. lie. is a man of original and indeâ€" pendent mind. He stands out among medical men of all nations. them- Sclvcs the flower of the world's in- tellect, by reason of his fine. infleâ€" pendent personality. He has had differences with his fellow scientists. llut no one has ever disputed for an instant the remarkable nature of his professional attainments or the un- flinching integrity of his personal character. He is afraid of no man. But he has a higher courage. still. 110 is not afraid of the bugbenr of professional etiquette which fright- ens even some of the greatest docs tors. AS an example of this may be men‘ tioncd one very interesting rcspcct in which he has differed from th( medical men of this country. 'l‘hd laffer ale. trammelled by medical otil quctte. No one dispules their scien‘ fific skill or their unselfish devotion to fhcir work. Ilut they are. limit.â€" ed in their labors by one remarkable scruplc. They will prescribe and experiment with drugs of all kinds sanctioned by the Pharmacopoeia or newly introduced; but where a, nfedi4 cal discovery, even when it is the lifeâ€"work of a regular practising phy- sician. is reconuncnded to the gener- ‘ll public by n mmuf'ncfurf-r. profes- sional cfiquette steps in and fright- ens them. No mutter how over- whelming the evidence of what such a discovery when sold as a proprio‘ tary medicine. has accomplished, they look coldly upon it. and will rarely admit that they have used it with success. It would be "un- professional" to do so! Dr. Lap< poni is troubled by no such scruples. For instance. the numerous remark- able cures which have been proved by newspaper reports, independently investigated, to have been accom- plished by the medicine sold in Canâ€" ada under the name of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale l’eople. must be well known to all Canadian doctors. They have been published far and wide. There can he no doubt of their accuracy. The names and ad< dresses of the men and women cured are freely published. 'l‘heir state ments have been investigated by some of the most important news- papers in this country and abroad. No one has ever attempted to dis- pute the facts. But Canadian doc- tors have never cared to admit pub- licly that they have availed them- selves of this discovery. Ilr, Lap- poni, however. has availed himself of Dr. \l'illiams' discovery. and has. in. his own fearless way, had no hesita- tion in making the fact publicly known. The following letter. with. his signature, freely avows the facts and endorses the value of Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills with an autharity no one will venture to question. TRANSLATION. “I certify that I have tried Dr.- Williams' Pink Pills in four cases of the simple anaemia of development. After a few weeks of treatment. the result came fully up to my expecta- tions. For that reason I shall not fail in the future to extend the use of this laudable preparation, not only in the treatment of other morâ€" bid forms of the category of anae- mia or chlorosis, but also in cases of neurasthcnia and the like.
