USE OF SOFT COAL.
How to Ram Ritamlnoa* Fael Sne
eesafally.
William S. Essick. secretary of the
Reading (Pa.) Stove works, states that
In view of the fact that there have been
so many inquiries ns to the use of soft
coal and coke as a substitute for an
thracite coal he had secured all the in
formation that he thought was suffi
cient to assure people that coke or soft
coal can be burned successfully, says
the Coal Trade Journal.
“When a fire is started with bitumi
nous coal in the ordinary cooking stove,
nil the dampers must be open. The
coal will then kindle quickly. Put the
coal on in small quantities or the fire
will be smothered. Keep the firebox
pretty well filled and free from ashes.
“In a range be careful in starting a
fire not to till the firebox too full, as
the bituminous coal will swell or ex
pand nnd raise the lids. Coke can be
burned in precisely the same manner.
“In fixing the fires for the night in a
stove or heater observe the following
rules:
“First.—Have a good, strong fire.
“Second.—Put on fresh coal.
“Third.—Let the draft on long enough
to burn off the gas. This requires but
a few minutes.
“Fourth.—Close all the dampers or, in
other words, take off all the draft.
“In the morning stir up the fire well
with a poker, put on the draft, and a
good, quick fire will soon be secured.
“The smokepipe in a range should
not be less than six or seven inches in
diameter. When less than that, the fire
is apt to be sluggish.
“The flues, smokepipes and chimneys
must be cleaned from time to time and
the soot removed. The accumulation
of soot in a stove or heater where soft
coal is used is much greater than when
anthracite is used.
"Experiments have shown,” said Mr.
Essick, “that soft coal can be used ns
successfully as anthracite and at less
cost.”
How to Keep Tour Skin Soft.
Faces need extra care to keep the
skin soft nnd tender in the winter. A
little cream rubbed into the skin with
fuller’s earth protects it from rough
winds. Before this is done the face
should be gently washed in lukewarm
water and bran, and then rinsed with
Water in which a few drops of eau de
cologne have been placed. If a little
cold cream is rubbed in, it keeps the
tissues In splendid condition.
Hotv to Waterproof Boots at Home.
I have for the last five years used
successfully a dressing for leather
boots and shoes composed of oil and
India rubber, keeping out moisture and
uninjurlous to the leather applied,
leaving the same soft and pliable, says
a writer in the Scientific American.
To prepare the same heat in an iron
vessel either fish oil, castor oil or even
tallow to nbout 250 degrees F., then
add, cut into small pieces, vulcanized
or raw India rubber, nbout one-fifth of
the weight of the oil, gradually stirring
the same with n wooden spatula until
the rubber i| completely dissolved In
the oil. X.astly, add to give it color a
small amount of printers’ ink. Four
into a suitable vessel and let cool. One
or two applications of this are suffi
cient to thoroughly waterproof a pair
of boots or shoes for a season. Boots
or shoes thus dressed will take com
mon shoe blacking with the greatest
facility.
How to Clean Pewter Vessel!.
Take a pound of neatsfoot oil, an
ounce of liquid ammonia and powdered
rotten stone. Put the oil and ammonia
into a basin. Stir into them as much
rotten stone ns will make a thick paste.
This paste may be kept In a jar for
use. Wash the pewter vessels in soap
and water, dry it, rub well with the
paste and then polish with a soft
leather.
How to Serve a Pineapple.
Select a large pineapple, cut the base
off square and take the crown out.
Then with a thin bladed, sharp knife
cut around under the peel, so ns to re
move the entire meat and leave the
peel intact. Cut or shred the meat into
suitable shapes for use and sprinkle
thoroughly with sugar. Set the cylin
der made by the peel in a large plate,
right end upward. Put the prepared
pineapple into this cylinder and place
the crown in position until ready to
serve. This makes a very pretty orna
ment on the dinner table, and it looks
like a whole pineapple. To serve, the
crown is taken off and the prepared
pineapple taken out with a fruit ladle
or a large fruit fork.
How to Clean Porcelain Tabs.
Kerosene applied with a flannel cloth
Is most efficacious In removing dis
colorations In metal or porcelain tubs.
These are often occasioned by the min
eral properties contained in the water,
but sometimes by a lack of daily care.
In either event a brisk application of
kerosene will effectually remove all
trace of them.
How to WnHli Glnmiware,
Glassware should be washed in hot
loapsuds and well rinsed in clear wa
ter, then wiped with a fine linen towel.
In washing cut glass lay three or four
thicknesses of a towel on the bottom
of the pan, which will make a soft sup
port for the glass and render it less lia
ble to be broken than when It comes in
contact with a hard substance. Use a
brush to remove particles of dust from
the deep cutting. A little bluing added
to the water in which the glass is
rinsed will enhance the brilliancy of
the crystal.
How to Care Neuralgia.
For neuralgia cut a thick slice of
bread, soak one side for a minute in
boiling water, rapidly sprinkle cayenne
pepper over the hot side and apply to
the face. It will not blister as mus
tard does. __
How to Cleon Ermine.
Ermine that is slightly soiled may be
cleaned without sending it to the fur
rier, where its handling will be expen
sive. Naphtha will clean it excellent
ly, but the process is rather a risky
one. If undertaken out of doors and
on not too cold a day, when sometimes
the air is so charged with electricity
that a little rubbing will produce a
spark, there should be no trouble. Put
a half gallon of naphtha in a foot tub
and immerse the fur collar, muff or
whatever it may be, lifting it in and
out several times and rubbing any
Boiled spots. Dry in the sun, a part of
the process which is necessary.
EPWOftTH LEAGUE.
Topic For the Week Beginning June
21, “Be Loyal to the King and
the Kingdom**—Text, Job
xlll, 15; Dan. vi, 4-10.
Those who have traveled in foreign
lands and after many days of seeing
strange scenes and hearing strange lan
guages have suddenly come to the sea
and seen a vessel bearing the flag of
stars and stripes will never forget the
thrill caused by that sight. Pulses
beat more quickly and tears dim the
eyes while an unutterable sentiment
of devotion and affection makes the
heart warmer. The sight of the flag
brings into quick recognition the love
of fatherland which had for the time
being been crowded out of mind.
Not every day are the depth and gen
uineness of our patriotism put to the
test. True is it also that much which
passes current as patriotic is more
nearly related to bigotry and prejudice.
But occasions do arise when all the hid
den power of our devotion is put to the
proof. The test of courage and loyalty
comes when the call to arms is heard:
comes when the battle is on. But a se
verer trial comes to those who, in pris
on and slowly wasting with starvation,
are offered freedom if they will join
the forces of the enemy. He who pre
fers death by starvation to dishonor
and disloyalty is a greater hero than
when he merely fought on the battle
field.
In maintaining fidelity to God it is
less difficult to stand firm under open
persecution and danger than to repel
the insidious advances of proffered ad
vantage and worldly gain. In the gen
eral rules of the Methodist Episcopal
church there is a section which is of
ten overlooked, but which is important
in the development of sturdy Christian
character. It relates to the things to
lie avoided. It is “softness and need
less self indulgence.” The appetite
for gratification, amusement, recrea
tion, is strong in young life and may
become imperious if not dominant. It
is a good Indicator, but a worthless
guide or governor. The demands of
spirit are ever superior to cravings of
bodily powers. The claims of our King
are always above every other right,
the needs of His kingdom and our
heavenly heritage paramount to ali
other duties.
It is a fatal mistake to barter integ
rity for any other interest. The pres
sure is strong and sometimes almost
irresistable to lower the standard of
right and consent to do something a
little off color, but customary and con
sidered polite. The minister who
preaches with a stronger desire to
please the people than to declare the
truth of God may receive favor among
the people, higher salary and position
from those he flatters, but he has lost
all loyalty to Christ and all that should
be of value to one of His ministers.
The young Christian who is more anx
ious for entrance into the fashionable
society of the'community than for the
loving regard of Jesus may win the
coveted prize, but may awake to find
it all as worthless as a wedge of gold
and Babylonish garment of an Achan.
accursed and needing to be hid. Loy
alty to convictions once bartered or
pawned can never be recovered. “Hold
fast to that which is good.”
I'nder His Rule.
I.et our temper be under the rule of
the love of Jesus. He cannot alone
curb it. He can make us gentle and
patient. Let the vow that not an un
kind word of others shall ever be
heard from our lips be laid trustingly
at His feet. Let the gentleness that
refuses to take offense, that is always
ready to excuse, to think and hope the
best, mark our intercourse with all.
Let our life be one of self sacrifice, al
ways studying the welfare of others,
finding our highest joy in blessing
others. And let us, in studying the
divine art of doing good, yield our
selves as obedient learners to the
guidance of the Holy Spirit. By His
grace the most commonplace life can
lie transfigured with the brightness of
a heavenly beauty, as the infinite love
of the divine nature shines out through
our frail humanity.—Andrew Murray.
RendlneMN to Die.
Bendiness to die and the wish to die
are not descriptive of the same state
of mind. It ought to be assumed that
every Christian is ready to die at what
ever time and in whatever way God
may appoint. The wish to die, on the
other hand. Is generally very far from
being a healthy feeling. It usually in
dicates either feebleness or morbidness
or must lie attributed to cowardice.
We are in the world not to be over
come by it, but to overcome It by car
rying to it the gospel In Christ’s name
and Illustrating the gospel In our lives,
as Christ did in His life. This assured
ly is enough for which to live.—Exam
iner.
From Everlnntlnaf to Everlasting.
From whatever angle the love of
Christ Is regarded It is unspeakable.
It Is unspeakable in Its length; It lmd
no beginning; It knows no break; It has
no end. The mercy of the Ford Is from
everlasting to everlasting. It Is un
speakable In its breadth; it includes
each and all; It Is like a benediction up
on every soul; It Is unspeakable In its
depth; it saves to the uttermost, ami
It is unspeakable In Its height; It makes
us Joint heirs with Christ, kings and
priests with God forever. — A. J. F.
F.eh rends.
The Hlatorj- o* the Kedeemer’a Love.
Consider the history of the Redeem
er’s love and a thousand enchanting
acts of nffectlon will suggest them

design the weaving of the heart Into
Christ and the intertwisting of the
thoughts and emotions of the recawec'
soul with the mind of Jesus.—Spurge,
