History of a Noted

A very full biography of Isabel lAxAy
Bruton )ins Just been published In
London. A largo portion of these two
volumes is the autobiographical work
of Lady Burton herself, but W. II.
Wllklns has filled In the gaps. IIo has
gathered Information concerning his
subject from many sources, and ho has
set forth tho whole story of her ad
venturous life with such literary skill,
such tnct, such sympathy, and Insight
that he must bo complimented upon
having given to the reading woild one
of tho most notable of the many excol-
I; lent Diogrnpnies wnicu navi iron im-

monms.
The story of Bliss Arundcll's love for
Captain Hurton, as It is unfolded in
these pages. Is as captivating as any
love story ever Imagined by a writer
of pure romance. Isabel Arundell was
a beautiful girl, high spirited, uncon
ventional, Intellectually ambitious, in
dependent and possessing a very large
share of tho mysterious quality which
she. herself describes as "supernormal
consciousness." This supernormal con
sciousness amounted in her to what
might almost be called tho gift of sec
ond sight. Over and over again wo
rend of her dreaming of some distant
concurrence or divining some coming
event with an accuracy of prescience
Httlo short of amazing. In her early
girlhood she made the acquaintance of
a gypsy named Hagar Burton, who
prophesied that she, Isabel Arundell,
would cross the sea, be in the same
town with her Destiny and not know
it, and that she would bear the namo of
Burton. Long afterwards, when walk
ing one day with her sister on tho
ramparts of Boulogne, Bliss Aruudell
saw a distinguished-looking stranger
walking towards her.
"He looked at me," she says, "as
though lie read mo through and
through in a moment, and started a lit
tle. I was completely magnetized: and
when we had gone a llttlo distance
away I turned to my sister, and whis
pered to her:
-that MAN WILL. MARRY ME."
She saw him again on tho next day;
he followed her and wrote up In chalk
the words: "May I speak to you?"
leaving the chalk on the wall. Bliss
Arundell took up tho chalk and wrote
back: "No; mother will be angry."
Afterwards, however, they met and
spoke, and she learned that tho strang
er was Captain Richard Burton.
On leaving Boulogne she saw net
more of Burton for four years, and had
apparently no prospect of meeting him
again. Yet during his absence on his
famous pilgrimage to Blecca, and on
his first expedition into Africa, she fol
lowed him ceaselessly In thought and
In prayer night and day. After his re
turn from the Crimea she met him
quite by chance in the Botanical Gar
dens. At the end of a fortnight ho
asked her: "Could you do anything bo
slekly as to give up civilization? And
If I get the consulate of Damascus will
you marry me and go and live there?
Think it over." She replied: "I do
not want to think it over I have been
thinking it over for six years, ever
Llnco I first saw you at Boulogne. I
have prayed for you every morning
and night, I have followed all your ca
reer minutely, I have read every word
you ever wrote, and I would rather
have a crust and a tent with you than
be queen of all the world, and so I say
Jiow, 'Yes, yes, yes!"
"KEPT SECRET."
This betrothal was kept a secret dur
ing the whole time while Burton was
fighting his terrible way through tho
Central Atrlcan Jungle to find the fa
bled lakes beyond the Usagara Bloun
talns, which at that time tho eye of
the white man had never seen. But
they were mairled at last, and never,
surely, were a man and woman better
mated. They traveled together In many
lands, and Isabel proved herself to bo
unexampled In her ability and energy
as a consul's wife. Ono realizes very
fully in this book how utterly both
Richard Button and his wife were
thrown away in the consular service,
and how shamefully Burton, was neg
lected and misunderstood by tho gov
ernment which employed him. In many
of his appointments his wife was of
signal and practical servlco to him.
Mr. Wllklns vigorously and success
fully defends Lady Burton against the
acrimonious and unfounded allegations
mado against her by Bliss Georglna
Stlsted in her so-called "True Life of
Sir Richard Burton." Bliss Stlsted, who
is Burton's nipce, declared that Bur
ton's recall from the consulato of Da
mascus was directly due to tho social
and polltloal difficulties brought about
by his wlfo'a blunders and imprudence.
Mr. Wllklns disproves this assertion
absolutely and completely. Biles Stls
ted has also stated that Lady Burton
lost her hfad and fled from Damascus
on hearing a rumor of cholera; hut wo
are hero shown that Lady Burton
worked bravely and courageously
among the cholera patients and was
even herself attacked by tho disease.
With equal success docs BIr.. Wllklns
exonerate Lady Burton from tho cruel
accusation of having acted in bad
faith In the matter of Burton's conver
sion to the Roman Catholic church,
and from the impugnmq'it of the mo-
lives wnicn jea ncr to destroy the
manuscript of her dead husband's
translation of "The Scented Garden."

It Jias now been discovered by tho
student of such matters that bicycle
riding gives' women tho bicycle leg. It
Is said by, the. experts that this evil
attacks women more readily than it
does men prq'bajjly because their mus
cles arjl .mora, flexible and adaptablo
than ithosfl of the wheelmen. This Is
no merOTpmuncJng, for only the other
daJ!LVun; elr said: "I never rode
mucluuntlMaat summer, and did not
noUec fchat my legs had been affected
toy'lt until th3 dancing season opened
last .winter. The muscles of my legs
seemed ;to remain stiff all evening- at
hft first ball, and' I wag nwfvlly un-
rnsy, for I thought I had contracted
my feet or make them go at all. You
may Imnglne how my partners glared
at mo. Not one of them came back
for a second turn, so I pleaded head
ache and mamma and 1 went home.
1 was puzzled, but did not Fay any
thing to anybody, for I had always
had tho reputation for being a good
dancer. I had tho same experience at
the next dance and tho next after that.
Finally my doctor told me I had tho
bicycle leg. IIo told mo that we havo
two sets of muscles In our legs. Ono
sort wo use for nil kinds of graceful
exercises. We might call these the del
saitian muscles. The others are tho
working muscles. Fuelling tho pedals
develops the latter until tho others are
overcome, and when you attempt the
graceful act you are about as success
ful as a cow would be."
So
To make a strawberryade, wash half
a pound of sound, ripe berries and
bruise them with a sliver spoon. Rub
Into them four ounces of sifted sugar
and one gill of water. Fress tho mlx
turo through a sieve, add a pint of
water and the Juice of half a lemon;
filter through a piece of cheesecloth
Into a glass Jar and stand beside tho
Ice until wanted. Then mix It with
ice-cold seltzer, apolllnarls, or plain
iced water.
For a fruit temperance cup, cut the
yellow rinds from four lemons, very
thin, and drop them In a large earthen
bowl. Squeeze tho Juice from ono
dozen lemons onto tho peel and add
two pounds of granulated sugar to tho
Juice; cover and let It stand over night.
Into another bowl put a peeled and
shredded pineapple and one quart of
small frluts such as strawberries, cher
ries, and raspberries, taking about an
equal amount of each fruit. Cover the
fruit with sugar and let Is stand over
night. In the morning crush thorough
ly tho fruits and strain the liquid into
the lemon syrup. Add one pint of fresh
ly made cold tea and put the mixture)
In a cold place for several hours. When
It Is desired for use add two quarts of
Iced water for this amount of fruit
Juices. Charged waters may bo used
In place of plain Iced water if they are
liked.
To make a refreshing summer drink,
to two pints of water add one pint of
granulated sugar. Place over the fire
long enough to entirely dissolve tho
sugar; take it from tho fire and add to
the syrup the Juice from three fine
lemons and the grated peel of one, the
inside of one orange and ono pineap
ple, peeled and picked into pieces. Let
the liquid mixture stand until partly
cooled and then strain through a coarte
sieve, rubbing as much of the fruit
through as possible; then place It where
It will become perfectly cold. At serv
ing time add to the liquid a pint of Ice
cold apolllnaiis water.
An excellent drink Is made from
raspberry Juice. To ono quart of
fresh, perfect fruit add the Juice of ono
lemon and ono tart orange. Bruise
tho fruit with a spoon and add one
pint of wnter. Let it stand two or three
hours. Meanwhile dissolve three
fourths of a pound of granulated sugur
In ono quart of boiling water and let
this become cold. Rub the fruit through
a fine sieve and add it to the cold syrup
and servo with shaved lco In the glass
es. Strawberries and currants may ba
used In the same way, only with the
latter fruit more sugar Is required.
For a fruit lemonade put one and
one-half pints of sugar Into a sauce
pan with one quart of water. Place
the pan over tho fire and cook until tho
sugar is dissolved. Peel and grate one
pineapple, and add to this one banana,
sliced, half a cup of cherries, from
which the stones have been taken, and
tho same quantity of grapes cut Into
halves and seeded. Add the prepared
fruits to the syrup when It Is taken
from the fire, and when the mixture Is
cold add the strained Juice of two or
anges, half a pint of lemon Juice, and
tho same quantity of tho Julco from
berries. When perfectly cold add
shaved Ice and some water. Serve in
glasses with a spoon.
There are many desirable cold drinks
that may be kept at hand which are
not made of fruits. Iced chocolate is
an especially good one. To proparo it
put into a porcelaln-llned or granite
kettle four ounces of finely powdered,
unsweetened chocolate and six ounces
of granulated sugar. Add one quart of
water and. when they are well mixed,
place the kettle over a moderate fire
and' nllow tho contents to boll until
the liquid Is of tho consistency of a
thick syrup. Take it from the fire and
stir tho mixture frequently while It Is
cooling. When cold flavor It with va
nilla extract and servo In tall tumblers
partly filled with cracked ice, adding a
couple of spoonfuls of whipped cream
to each tumbler. This chocolate syrup
can be kept In glass Jars in a refrigera
tor and win remain good for a long
time.
Among beverages flavored with
something morn than tho Juices of
fruits the following is excellent: Into
a pitcher put tho ycjlow rind of a le
mon, cutting it aB thin as possible from
tho fruit and rejecting the white, bit
ter part. Add the Juice of tho lemon
and a talflesponful of good Jamaica
rum. Blend with these Ingredients two
teaspoonfuls of granulated sugar.
Place a Good-sized piece of lco In tho
pitcher, pour over tho whole a bottle of
ginger aid, mix well, and servo at once.
To make pine apple cheer, wash a
pineapple, peel the fruit, and then with
a silver fork begin at tho stem end
and pick It Into small pieces. Put the
pieces Into an earthen dish and oover
them with powdered "Ugar Take the
jvein and put them -In ft saucepan with
water enough to cover them and let
them boll to extract the flavor. Then
strain the liquid through a fino slevo
over tho picked fruit. Let this stand
In a cold place several hours before
addlnn a quarter of a pound of sugar
and a. bottle of hock. When these aro
wo'l blended and It Is time for serving
add one bottle Of seltzer. Servo cracked
lco In tho glasses.
Lemonades nre best If the sugar Is
dissolved in tho water by heating them
together, thus making a syrup. This
process seems to give more consistency
to the drink. Tho white of an egg
beaten light and added to lemonado
gives the drink nutriment,
A refreshing drink Is mado thus:
Beat the white of an egg light. Stir
Into It three teaspoonfuls of powdered
sugar and the Julco of a lemon. Beat
well together and add a gill of rum
with the same quantity of rich milk.
Partly fill a pitcher, holding about a
quart, with cracked Ice, and pour tho
mixture over It. Add a small bottle
of seltzer and It Is ready for use.
A syrup may bo conveniently kept
at hand to use for sweetening punches,
lemonade, and other drinks. It will re
maln good a long time If kept where It
Is cool. To make It, extract tho oil
from the ix-el of a half dozen lemons by
rubbing them with cut sugar. Squeeze
the Julco from tho lemons and strain
the Juice over the lumps of sugar. Add
the Juice from six oranges and five
pounds of cut sugar. Place these In
gredients In an agato or porcelain lined
kettle with two quarts of water, and
add a couple of blades of mace, a small
piece of stick cinnamon, and four
cloves. Let this cook slowly over the
fire about one-quarter of an hour. Skim
out the spices and turn tho syrup Into
bottles. When tho syrup Is cold cork

THE HAIR,
Rustics who live on a bread-and-milk
diet nearly nlways havo heavy
hair to an advanced age, while people
who lunch and dlno on meat rarely
havo after 2o.
The Italian parliament shows an un
rivaled collection of billiard-ball heads,
while the Italian peasants always re
joice In heavy growths of hair. Brittany
peasant men have hair almost as long
and heavy as their wives.
A very clover and well-known doc
tor claims that meat eating and bald
nest go together, nnd he has often
checked cases of falling hair by com
bining with local treatment a diet of
milk, eggs and fruit.
The finest heads of hair belong to
the Kalmuck women, who nre deaf to
music. Tho hair touches the giound
when they stand, and Its only fault Is
that It Is coarse in texture. These wo
men live on a diet of milk, tea and rye
bread.
In society ono may always tell tho
girls whoso parents have risen from the
humbler classes to wealth by the super
ior quality of their hair.
Verdi has been given as an example
of the effect of Instrumental music on
the growth of hair; but Rochefort can
be pitted against him. Rochefort does
not know a note of music, but if he did
not keep Ms snowy fleece cut to a mod
erate length It would swamp him.

CONTEXT. Leaving Berea to escape '
from tho Jews who had como over fron?
Thessalonlca, Paul followed tho Blaster's
dlroctlon (Matt, x, 23) and fled to Athens.
He was escorted by brethren who knew
tho way, tho Journey being more than
two hundred miles in a southerly direc
tion, occupying at least a week. At that
tlmo Athens was tho chief city of Attica,
ono of the most important divisions of
Greece. Founded In lb50 B. C. by Cecrops
It had been the capital of the leading re
public, and had been distinguished as tho
seat of literature In the golden period
of. tho nation. Whllo waiting for Silas
and Timothy to join him, probably two
weeks elapsed, during which Paul looked
about the city. On tho Sabbath he vis
ited the Jewish synagogues, and, accord
ing to his custom In other places, engaged
In teaching. Ono day ha encountered tho
philosophers, who Invited him to the
areopagus, so call because It was on a
hill, named from Ares or Blars. There ho
delivered an address which wo shall now
study.
INSCRIPTION. Paul began his addre3B
by lef erring to an Inscription "to the un
known god," which ho had seen on ono of
tho altars, courteously remarking thut
tho people woro exceedingly religious
(verses 23 and 23), not superstitious, as
our version has it. It Is said that there
were thirty thousand Idols In the city,
and Petronlus declared that It "was easi
er to find a god In Athens than to find a
man." And yet these numerous: alturs
failed to satisfy the longings of the heart.
Nolther had Greek culture, in which art,
poetry and philosophy attained nn excel
lence unknown elsewhere, met tho needs
of man's higher nature. This ono altar,
with Its strango Inscription, showed that
many supposed thero was a Dlcty, un
known to them, superior to others, whoso
favor they coveted. Tho best learning of
the tlmo had advanced far enough to re
veal a necessity which it could not sup
ply. Hero was Paul's opportunity and
text. He boldly announced hls mission
to declare the Being whom by their un
aided powers they had failed to discover.
(Job xl, 7.)
HABITATION. Tho pagans deified the
powers of uaturo nnd the spirits of de
parted heroes. They supposed that the
latter would como to abide in somo form
which the devotee mlpht construct, or
that ha would occupy that form at bouts
of devotion. Puul lets tho philosophers
know that tho Qod whom h proclaimed
was the maker of tho "world and all
things therein," (Acts xlv, 15) the funda.
mental truth of monotheism, (den. I, 1);
that this maker was also the Lord or ruler
of "heaven .and earth " (vrse 2) and, fur
thermore, as must be manifest, that such
a being did not dwell In any earthly tem
ple (I Kings, vlll, 27.) By these few words
Paul had announced to his Athenian au
dience thoso conceptions of the God-ncad
for which tho Greeks had vainly Bought
for centuries. With tho temple of the
Eumenldet, tho templo of Theseus, the
Colossus of 'Mlru-rva, and the Acropolis In

A good cleaning fluldr for removing
spots from men's clothing or Bponglng
silk and woolen goods Is made of pul
verized soap-tree bark. Let a couple of
tablespoonfuls of tho bark steep in n
generous pint of water until tho
strength Is drawn from the wood.
Strain tho water through n cloth, and

of spoonfuls of alcohol added It will

Iron sponged dress goods. Tho cloth
should bo pinned to the floor upon
sheets or rolled smoothly and tight
over a largo roller kept for tho purpose.
To stiffen sheer handkerchiefs, laces,
wash silks, or any other thin fabric
It Is best to use gum arable starch. To
make It put Into a bottle ono ounce of
gum arable and pour over it one cup
of cold wnter; stand tho bottle In a
dish of cold water, and place it over
the fire until the gum Is dissolved; then
strain it through a fine slevo or piece
of cheese cloth Into another bottle.
When it Is cold put in a half gill of
alcohol, and It will keep and be ready
to use when needed. When dainty laces
are to bo stiffened, half a teaspoonful
of the starch, mixed with a small cup
ful of water, will give the lace ample
stiffness, adding a larger amount of the
starch as It Is needed for different fab
rics. It Is often necessary, owing to fear of
the brushes being improperly dried
when away from home, that these
should not be put Into water. They then
may be thoroughly cleansed with flour.
Have the flour perfectly dry and plen
tifully rub It Into the bristles. Let the
brushes stand for an hour or longer,
then shake the dust out on an old tray
or newspaper, after which use a clean
comb, running It briskly through tho
bristles as If combing them out. A sec
ond rubbing of the bristles with pulver
ized magnesia before the combing, If
the bristles are very much discolored,
may bo used. This will bo found a
most effectual modo of cleansing
bristles.
It Is said that when linens are badly
scorched the spot can bo removed If
treated q the following manner: Ex
tract theiulce from two peeled onions
and putrlt Into an agate or granite
vessel. Add' to It half an ounce of white
castlle soap cut Into small pieces and
two ounces of Fuller's earth. BIlx them
together and then stir In one cup of
vinegar. Stand the vessel over the fire
and let Its contents thoroughly boll.
When the mixture has become cuol
spread It over the scorched linen and
let It dry upon the cloth. When well
dried wash out the linen.
Proper attention must be paid to the
brushes one uses if one values hei
hair. To begin with, brushes s'hould be
kept spottlessly clean. Have them made
of moderately stiff bristles, not too long
and put In singly, that Is, not close to
gether. Closely set long bristles are
very liable to assist In spoiling the hair.
They are apt to split at the ends and
catch tho hair as it passes through
them and break it off. Watch your hair

WORSHIP. The apostle next present
ed tho proper motive and method of tho
worship which ought to be offered to this
exalted Being, who had mado all things,
who governs all things. Tho pagans sup
posed that their gods had needs which
might bo supplied by men and in supply
ing which favor might bo obtained. They
brought costly offerings of food and
drink for the gods to consume. This idea
of the dependenco of god on men, the re
versal of tho truth, Puul disclaims and
disproves. (Psalm I, 9-10). The God whom
ho proe'plrred cannot ba worshipped with
men's hfcndv; thr Is, by their girts
(verse 25.) On the contrary, Ho Is tha
giver of life and breath and all things.
(James I, 17.) Worship must not bo a
barter, a purchaso of a blessing. It must
rather bo a grateful homage on the one
side, and a free, unmerited bestowal on
tho other. Tho absolute, Infinite, all
sufficient and selfl contained Gtxl, tho
God of tho Jew and of tho Christian, is
thus set forth.
OFFSPRING.-Stlll further to enlarge
tho conceptions of God tho address pro
ceeds to show how men are related to
Him. (Verses 26, 27 and 28.) Tho Atheni
ans claimed to bo eborlglnal, to havo
sprung from tho earth, and they regarded
tho rest of mankind as Inferior. Paul de.
clarcs that God had made all men of ono
blood, and therefore thoy constituted ono
family, a doctrine Imbedded In tho whole
ScrIpture(Gen. II, 7.); that this world
wide family had been divided by tha
Blakor Into nations, with appointed boun
darles (Gen. xl, $); that it was His will
that all tho nations, wherever they might
be, should seek after Him and find Him,
thus producing a universal system of
worship (Rom. I, 20); that to assist such
approach Ho "nan always near to overy
Individual; that, In fact, the very llfo of
men Is constantly derived from Him, no
that without Him they could have no be.
Ing (Col. i, 17); that, In short, men are
not tho product of nature, but tho off
spring, tho children of God, bearing His
image, (Gen. I, 26), entitled to communion
with Him. (I John, I, 3.)
IDOLATRY. In support of tho last
thought, that men aro tho offspring of
God, Paul quoted from tho Grecian poets.
Tho reference Is probably to Aratus, a
nattvo of Clllcla, Paul's native province.
(Acts xxl, 3U.) Clennthes, who lived about
300 B. C, uses very nearly the same lan
guage. Plato, In tho same spirit, de
clares that God Is tho "the father of noble
children," and Plutarch "that tho soul Is
not only made by Him but begotten by
Him," which is very near tho Scripture
view. (Matt, vl, 9.) Relying upon such
authority, which his audience ought to
respect, the apostle calls attention to tho
folly of Idolatry. He does so, however,
In tho gentlest manner, "We ought not
to think," ho says, classing himself with
tho philosophers, "that the Godhead Is
like unto gold, or sliver, or stone." Cer
tainly not. Ho would rather be like mitn
It men are hU offspring. (Verse 29.) Be.
neath his words or between tho lines Is
an unuttcrcd suggestion of the God-man.
If anywhere He is to bo seen he might) ba
expected tn human form rather than In
graven Image. (Isaiah xvJ, 0-9.)

A slmplo liquid preparation for tho
purposo of preserving furs from the
depredations of moths can be mado as
follows: Into ono pint of warm water
drop twelve grains of corrosive subli
mate; wash the fur In this liquid, and
when quite dry tho fur should be safe
from tho moth. Other preventives
against moth In furs will be found In
camphor, pepper, Bait, cloves, cedar
wood shavings nnd borax powder. All
furs and heavy woolen gnrments
should be put away In drawers or boxes
well sprinkled with any of theso condi
ments. Important papers, maps, charts and
good engravings can be successfully
preserved by brushing a very thin
coating of India rubber solution over
their surface. This Is perfectly trans
parent, and If an Important document
Is varnished with It. on both sides It
will be protected for nn Indefinite peri
od against the effects of damp, while
the writing will remain clear and un
laded. Crickets may bo very charming and
poetical llttlo insects when mentioned
In story or verse, says an exchange,
but they aro also most destructive, as
they will nibble woolens or other fab
rics quite as dnmaglngly as mice, nnd
when ono Is nervous their creaking
voices are often tho very reverse from
soothing. To secuie freedom from
them, put Scotch snuff down their holes
nnd Into the corners frequented by
them.
The practice of wrapping each loaf of
bread In oiled papers when It Is taken
from tho oven and sealing the knot of
tho string holding 'the paper, as is done
in a few first-class shops on the other
side, is desirable for protecting bread
when the loaf has to be handled many
times In the process of delivery. The
bread Is protected from dust and
handling as well as tho possibility of
bacilli, nnd tho paper prevents tho
moisture In tho bread from escaping
and keeps the bread fresh.
A large funnel that flts Into tho
mouth of preserve jars will be found of
great assistance to the housekeeper at
this season of canning and preserving.
With the aid of this funnel the Jars
are easily filled, and there Is no trou
blo caused by the fruit being on the
outsldo instead of the inside of the
Jars.
The cleanest nnd best dishwasher Is
a round whisk broom mado of tho fin
est nnd best broom corn. It is cleaned
readily by holding It under tho spigot
and and running hot water through it;
after which hang It In the air to be
dried. This does away with the nn
noyance of a discolored and often mus
ty dishcloth.
In summer salt Is likely to be affected
by .the dampness and then become
hardened in its receptacles. If a tea
spoonful of pulverized arrow root or
cornstarch Is mixed with each half
dozen teaspoonfuls of salt It will not be
affected by the temperature.
When one Is hurried In mailing a let

stamp Is found to bo without sufficient
glue, moisten the stamp, rub it on the
gummed flap of nn envelope, and quick

To Itcmovo Grcnse Spots.
A mixture which Is excellent for re
moving grease spots and stains from
carpets and clothing Is made of 2
ounces of white castlle soap, 1 ounce of
glycerine and 1 ounce of ether; cut the
soap fine, dissolve In ono pint of water
over the fire; add two quarts of water.
This should be mixed with water In
the proportion of a teacupful to one
ordinary pailful of water. BIlx thor
oughly and wash soiled garments In
It. For removing spots use a sponge
or clean flannel, and with a dry cloth
rub dry as possible. Woolen goods
may be made to look brighter and
fresher by being sponged with this.

RDPENTANCE.-Havlng set forth tho
Deity as tho creator, preserver and ruler
of all things, living not in earthly tem
ples, neither needing man's gifts, tha fa
ther and benefactor of man, having
shown that Idolatry was opposed to tho
teachings of Greek scholars, Paul called
his hearers to abandon their religious
practices. (Verses SO and 31.) He pre
sents three motives. Idolatry belonged
to a tlmo of Ignorance It was tho result
of Ignorance which might be forgiven If
abandoned. God now (that is in tho day
of greater light) commanded all men to
repent. A Judgment awaits the world at
a tlmo yet future, when Jesus, who had
been raised up from the dead, would sit
to determine the destinies of men. (Matt.
xxv, 31-32.) Past darkness and Ignorance,
present light and duty, future awards
and punishment 'these aro the threo ar
guments, any ono of them sufficient, by
which Paul attempted to win tho philo
sophers from their Idols to serve the liv
ing and tho true God. He had dealt
faithfully with those who sought to know
his doctrine.
RECEPTION. How will these students
of great questions receive this address?
What will they do? Ono remark, tha
resurrection of Jesus, provoked some to
mockery. This may havo been by tho
Epicureans, who held that "tho soul was
nothing without tho body, that both body
and soul wero dissolved together and dis
sipated into tho elements, and that when
' this was dono all the llfo of man was
ended." (I Cor. xv, 3J.) Others, perhaps
not more serious, but moro courteous,
promised to givo another hearing to
Paul, (verses 32 and 33) who departed
from among them. The effort was not
wholly in vain, however, for some be
lieved, how many, no ono knows. Two
names only aro given Dlonyslus the
Areopoglte, that Is a member of court,
and Damarls, a woman of whom nothing
moro is known. Eusebus Informs us that
Dlonyslus afterward became bishop of
tho church at Athens, and that he died a
martyr. He Is not mentioned afterward
in Scripture. His conversion was an im
portant event regardless of his future.
CONCLUSION.-Tho philosophers of
Greece were representatives of all who In
our day assume an attitude of Intellectual
hostility to revealed religion. No vlaw Is
hoM now which was not held then. Stoicism
answers to modern pantheism, tho doc
trine that God U all and all Is God. Epi
cureanism answers to modern material
Ism, the doctrine that thero is not spirit,
nothing but a mode of motion. The In
scription to tho unknown god represents
tha aspirations which, In different forms,
express themselves in the religion of the
unknowable. Paul's treatment of these
errors Is applicable to our times. The
great fundamentals of theism must be re
affirmed boldly, plainly, courteously, and
the scholar must be made to know that
these vagaries In religion are not now;
that they belong to a time of Ignorance;
that wo havo come into a better day; that
tho gospel Is now a recognized force; that
a risen Christ Is carrying forward His
work; that a day of reckoning is near,
But, alas, come will mock, others will ask
another hearing, and a few will believe,
Raedoinni Remarks on
Health aand Hygfeee.
As tho water' enters largely Into tho
plans of summer excursionists, the list
of summercnsualtles- naturally presents
a large number of cases of drowning.
While tho great majority of these cases
ato beyond recovery before tho body Is
taken from the water, thero aro still
many In which artificial respiration,
persistently and effectively applied,
may restore the pulmonary nnd cardiac
action. The Sylvesle method Is the most
popular, consisting the patient lying
upon his back of alternato contraction
and expansion of the chest, by alter
nately pressing tho arms upon tho chest
and raising them strongly over the
head from twelve to fifteen times a
minute, nil this of course after tho
water in tho air passages has been
emptied by gravitation. Tho best au
thorities believo that artificial respira
tion 'is often too soon discontinued, nnd
ndvlse that it be persisted In for from
thirty minutes to an hour. It should bo
remembered that the body, until the
lungs become filled with water, is buoy
ant nnd will float, not high up, but
still with Its upper surface above water,
and tho addition of tho merest trltlo
of assistance, such as Is afforded by a
small board, not to speak of an oar
or larger floating body, will enable
the head to keep well out of the waves.
If then ono can have self-possession In
tho very disconcerting moment of sub
mersion, ho may be able to keep him
self afloat until aid can arrive, or pos
sibly until ho can reach tho shoro un
aided. o
Chronic lead poisoning results from
tho slow absorption of lead. ,Workers In
white lead, printers and type founders
aro especially liable to be affected.
Sometimes It results from using wnter
which has passed through lead pipes or
has been stored In cisterns lined with
lead. Housekeepers should see that the
plpesarewellemptled (let the waterrun
at least five minutes In the morning) be
fore using tho water in the preparation
of tha breakfast. To present lead
poisoning one must keep clean avoid
eating In an atmosphere laden with the
dust of tho metal respirators should be
used In lead factories. Take a dose of
epsom salts, two teaspoonfuls to a
glass of water, before breakfast once or
twice a week. The chief symptoms of
lead poisoning are colicky pains about
tho umbilicus in connection with rigid
ity and retraction of the abdominal
walls; constipation, anaemia, Intense
headache, pains In the Joints, a blue
line along the gums near the Insertion
of the teeth. The curative treatment
consists in relieving the constipation
by taking epsom salts, taking medicat
ed baths and five grains of potassum
iodide three times dally.

Tho following exercise is said to be
excellent for correcting and straight
ening curved shoulders: Take a perfect
ly erect position. Place the heels to
gether and the toes at an angle of forty
five degrees. Drop the arms by the side,
Inflating and raising the chest to the
full capacity, muscularly, keeping the
chin well drawn In and the crown of
the head feeling as if it were attached
to a cord suspended to the celling
above. Slowly rise upon tho balls of the
feet to tho greatest possible height,
thereby exercising nil the muscles of
tho legs and body, and then drop once
moro Into th6 standing position with
out swaying the body backward out of
the upright, straight line. Repeat the
exercise, standing first on one foot and
then on tho other. It Is remarkable
what a straightening out power It has
upon round shoulders and crooked
backs, and one will be surprised to
note how soon the lungs begin to show
tho effect of such expanslvo develop
ment. o
To many people hot weather is an In
sufferable bugbear, and they begin
early In the season to try and. find a
cool place. An eminent physician once
said: "To keep cool people usually do
the very things that make them hot."
For the one who observes cleanliness of
the body and a healthy condition of its
organs heat is robbed of half Its ter
rors and dangers. A simple but effect
ual way to keep cool is to take plenty
of exercise, to bathe frequently and to
be careful of one's diet. The less meat
and fat that people eat during the sum
mer the less they will feel the heat.
Fruits, vegetables, salads, lobster,
crabs and clams aro better for the hot
days than meats, and when the latter
are used they should be lean and rare.
o
Sprains are sometimes fully as pain
ful and disabling as fractures, and like
fractures they should not be made tho
object of unnecessary meddling. No In
Jury Is moro frequent with the summer
tourist than the sprain, particularly of
tho ankle. The mode of vacation life,
with Its admixture of athletic sports
and unaccustomed exercise, particular
ly pre-disposes to this accident. The
laity should learn to avoid arnica, tur
pentine and othor abominations in fa
vor of immediate Immersion in hot
water for a considerable period, follow
ed by elevation of the extremity and
gentle retention of the parts by a
bandage, tho material for which may
well consist of elastic flannel.
o
If the wrists become tired while one
Is riding the bicycle, an authority sug
gests resting them by holding tho
handles with the palms turned up. If
the elbow Joints grow weary and begin
to acho sit up stralghter, and thus
change tho nnglo of the arm. Leaning
over causes backache and a contraction
of tho muscles of the chest. Do not let
tho body stiffen when ono is on a
wheel. It prevents graceful riding and
will causo uncomfortable straining.
Tn convalescing from gastritis, eat no
meot for ono week; eat tho following
only: Baked potatoes, crackers, toast
dry and milk; lettuce, tomatoes raw,
baked or stewed; peas, beets, aspara
gus, string beans, milk, soup, meat
broths of all kinds, and eggB, tea, cof
fee, cocoa or chocolate. At the nd of
one week onco a day broiled beef
chops, roast meat or chicken. In two
weeks, if there be no pain or discom
fort, resume your regular modo of liv
ing. Tho following Is given as an excellent
remedy for Ivy poisoning: Wash the
affected part with hot water nnd castlle
soap, rlnce and dry, nnd dab on a pre
paration composed of tho fiuld extract
of grendella robusta, one-halt ounce to
a pint of water; dab on several times
dally and allow to dry without wiping.

A good remedy for pains In the lungs
and chest Is the tincture of Iodine.
Paint It on tho chest from the neck to
tho waist, nlso on tho "back between tho
shoulder blades, night and morning ev
ery day until the skin peels; discon
tinue and use as before when the skin
Is healed,
To quiet the nerves and InBuro sleep
take ten grains of the bromide of sodi
um In cold water at 'J p. m. do to bed
nt 10 o'clock nnd repeat tho dose af
ter you nre settled In bed. Sleep In a
dark, cool room (having fresh air ad
mitted from an open window,)

An experienced blcyclo rider says
that one should take a long breath
Into tho lungs before attempting to
ride uphill, and that only a slow,
steady gait should be maintained.
Steep Inclines should be walked up, aa
that rests Hie whole body after a stea
dy "spin."
To cure bunions wear stockings and
shoes both too long for the feet. To re
lieve the pain nnd swelling of the feet
sonk tho feet In hot wnter for ten min
utes several times a day.
THINGS WE OUGHT TO KNOW.
That breakfast should be nourishing
but never heavy.
That slamming the door of tho oven
will causo the enko to fall.
That a rich cako raised with egga
requires a very stiff batter.
That a plain cako requires a quick
oven, a rich cake a slow oven.
That luncheon should always com
from tho dinner of the night before.
That puddings will be heavy If al
lowed to stop bolllnfj for an Instance.
That a cake made with baking pow
der requires a moderately thin batter.
That every bit of fat should be put '
nsldo and rendered nnd used for fry
ing. That a tempting breakfast dish can,
be made from tho cold fish left from
dinner.
That more bread than will be eaten
should not be cut rather cut the sec
ond time.
That chocolate Icing may be smooth
ly spread by dipping the knife in boil
ing water.
That the faults of servants and the
misdemeanors of children should never
be discussed at meals.
That a refined home may be kept
with small means If the wife and moth
er Is of a refined nature.
That dinner should bo the principal
meal of the day nnd should be care
fullyftlannod nnd daintily served.
That a cake made without baking
powder remains fresh much kftigcr
than one In which baking powder la
used.
That a cupful of cold mashed pota
toes will, with the addition of two
eggs, some butter, and seasoning, make
a palatable dish of croquettes.
Where Mnrringo Wns a Failure.
After a San Diego man got a dlvoroo
from his wife the other day he went
homo and found her there. She asked
hlrre to sit down to dinner, after which
she asked him how ho liked the new
arrangement.
"First rate, but I can't understand
It."
"Oh. that's all right," she replied,
"wo can live this way In contentment.
The other; way wo quarrel. Now, then,
suppose you retain mo as housekeeper?
Twenty dollars a month and board
is all I ask."
This struck the ex-husband favor
ably, and the bargain was closed on
the spot. The couple havo not hod a
sign of trouble since, although they,
were In hot water for thirty-two years,
fretting under the marital yoke. They
dare not quarrel now, for fear one will
leave the other In tho lurch. He must
have his meals cooked and she must
have a place to stay. Together they
are happy now, and the bargain prom
ises to last to the end. Nebraska Stato

Flowers.
Flowers should ne' o placed lrt
vases that are not suitable to their es
pecial size and style. A stately chrys
anthemum should never bo placed in ai
small fragile looking vase, nor should;
violets and panales be put in tall,
heavy-looking holders. Unless you
have an artistic perception of color and)
harmony, it is best not to try to com
bine different kinds of flowers in th
same bouquet. Dainty, delicate looking
blossoms should be given the daintiest
possible "setting," and the rich, tropi
cal flowers must be placed In Oriental
surroundings to properly emphasize)
their splendor.
No More Use for Pillows.
Sleeping without pillows under the
head is said to be conducive not only to
sounder sleep, but to a more graceful
carriage and a stronger, stralghter
spine. The habit of placing large,
heavy pillows under the head should
never be contracted, and a medical au
thority says only a small, flat pillow
should bo used. Children should bo
taught to sleep on a flat, straight bed.
A slight slope is not objectionable, and
instead of using a pillow to make it,
slip an extra slat or two under tha
frame of the spring mattress at tha
head, making tho slope about threo
inches.

sciK.vnric cooking.
Gtvo me p. spoon of olfca, ma,

For John will bo hungry and tired, ma.
And his tissues will decompose;
So give me a gramme of phosphate,

And hand me the oxygen bottle, ma, '
And look at the thermostat:
And if tho electric oven's cold
Just turn on halt an ohm,
For I want to have supper ready
As soon as John comes homo.
Now pass me the neutral dope, mamma,
And rotate the mixing machine.
But glvo mo tho sterilized water first.

The now typewriter's quit,
And John will need more phosphate food
To help his brain a bit. . ..
