Pretty Underwear.
Tbe variety of pretty silk and woolen un
derwear to be bad at suoh reasonable
prices, is very tempting to dainty women,
yet many refrai» from purchasing suoh on
account of their liability to injure In laun
drylng. If the work is properly done this
trouble may be avoided. When ready to

which dissolve a fourth of a bar of Ivorv
Soap, and wash the articles through it with
the hands, rinse in warm water, and
squeeze, but do not wring. Hang on the

A Twelve-Inch Wire-Wound Gun.
Our American cousins are not, oui
Plymouth correspondent says, appar
ently to enjoy a monopoly in the
manufacture of man-killing weapons.
Although it has been known for many
mouths that the British Admiralty
have introduced for the navy a new
type of 12-inch breech-loading gun,
few are aware of the enormous advan
tages the new weapon can claim ovei
existing ordnance of the same calibre.
The new gun, which is to be known
as the "Mark 8," is constructed of
steel on the wire-wound principle, so
that the liability to fracture is reduced
to a minimum. Cordite charges only
will be used, and a lenthy series of
experiments have shown that a charge
of 167} pounds of cordite is sufficient
to fire a projectile 850 pounds in
weight a distance of ten thousand
yards, whereas the existing 12-inch
guns need a charge of 250 pounds of
powder to fire a projectile weighing
714 pounds the same distance.
The new gun has also a greater de
structive capacity, it having been
found that its projectile will penetrate
21.1 inches of wrought iron at a dis
tance of seventeeu hundred yards,
while the penetrating power of the 12'
inch gun at the same distance is 19. : 3'
inches. At shorter distances the dif
ferences in the destructive capacity is
much more pronounced, the muzzle
perforation of the new gun being 38.5
inches of iron, as against 20.7 inches
in the case of the older type of weapon.
The first vessels to be armed with
these guns will be the battle-ships

a recent transaction in the Justice

levied upon 800 pounds of seed cot

SubJ«Mt! "Tbe Housewife's Perplexities"
-Ltuoni Drawn From the Episode of
Martba and Mary—Daily Trials Pre
pare One For Fatnre Blearing*.
TEXT: "Lord, dost Thou not care tlmt
ray sister hath left me to serve alone? Bid
her therefore that she help me."—Luke x.,
40.
Yonder Is a beautiful village homestead.
The man of tbe house is dead and his
widow has charge of the premises. It is
Widow Martha, of Bethany. Yes, I wiil
show you also the pet of the household. It
is Mary, the younger sister, with a book
under her arm, and in her face no sign of
care or anxiety about anything. Company
has come. Christ's appearing at the outside
of the door makes some excitement Inside
the door. The sisters set baok the disar
ranged furniture, arrange their hair, and
in a flash prepnre to open the door. They
do not keep Christ waiting outside until
they bavo newly appareled themselves or
elaborately arranged thoir tresses, nnd
then with affeoted surprise come out and,
pretending not to have heard the two or
three previous knocklngs, say, "Why, is
that you?" No, they were ladies, und nl
wavs presentable, nil hough perhaps they
had not on their best. None of us always
have on our best. Otherwise very soon
our best would not be worth having on.
They throw open the door and greet Christ.
Thevsay: "Good morning, Master! Come
in and be seated!" Christ brought a oom
pany of friends with Him, and the influx
of so many city visitors, you do not won
der, threw the country home into some
perturbation. I suppose the walk from the
city had been a keen appetlzor. The
kitchen department that day was a very
important department, and I think ns soon
ns Martha had greeted her guests she went
to that room. Mary had no anxiety about
the dinner. She had full confidence that
her sister Marthn could get up the best
dinner In Bethany, and she practically
said: "Now, let us have a division of labor.
Martha, you cook and I'll sit down and
learn."
The same difference you now sometimes
see between sisters. There is Martha, in
dustrious, painstaking, a good manager,
over inventive of somo new pastry, discov
ering something in household affairs.
Here is Mary, fond of conversation, iiter
ary, so full of questions of othics she has
no time to discuss questions of household
welfare. It is noon. Mary is in the par
lor. Martha is in the kitchon. It would
have been better for them to have divided
the toil, and then they could have divided
tbe opportunity of listening to Christ. But
Mary monopolizes Christ, while Martha
swelters before the lire. It was very im
portant that they have a good dinner that
day, for Christ was hungry, aud Ho did not
often have luxurious entertainment. Alas,
me, if all the responsibility of that enter
tainment had rested with Marvl What a
repast they would have had! But some
thing went wrong in the kitchen. Either
the fire would not burn or the bread would
not bake or something was turned black
that ought to have been only turned
brown, or Martha soalded herself, and,
forgetting ail the proprieties of the occa
sion, with besweated brow she rushed out
of the kitchen into the parlor, jjerhaps
with tongs in one hand and pitcher in the
otnor, and she cried out: "Lord, dost Thou
not care that my sister Ims left me to serve
alone? Bid her therefore that she help
me." Christ scolded not a word. If it
wero scolding, I would rather have Him
scold me tlinn anybody else bless me.
There was nothing acerb in the Saviour's
reply. He knew that Martha had been
working herself almost to denthto get Him
something to eat, but Ho appreciated her
kindness, and He practically said: "My
dear woman, do not worry. Let the din
ner go. Sit down here on this couch be
side your younger sister, Mary. Let us
talk about something else. Martha, Mar
tba, thou art careful and troubled about
many things, but ouo thing is needful."
As Martha throws open the door I look
in to-day, and I seo a great many
household anxieties, perplexities, fatigues
and trials, and about them I am going to
speak if the Lord of Mury and Martba und
Lazarus will help me by His grace.
As I look into that door, iu the llrst
place, I see the trial of nonappreciation.
That was what made Martba so vexed at
Mary. Mary, the younger sister, had no
proper estimate of the elder sister's fa
tigue. Just as now men having annoy
ances of store and factory and shop, or at
tbe Stock Exchange, come home at night
nnd hear of some household annoyance,
und they say, "Oh, that's nothing! You
ought to be in a factory a day and nave ten
or fifteen or twenty or 100 subordinates.
Then you would know something about
annoyance and trouble." Ob, man, let me
tell you that a wife and a mother bas to
conduct at the same time a university, a
clothing establishment, a restaurant, a
laundry, a library, and bas to be health
officer, polico and president of the whole
realm! She has to do a thousand
things, and to do them well, in order to
make things go smootbly. and that Is what
puts the awful tax on a woman's nerves
nnd a woman's brain. I know there are
exceptions to the rule. Sometimes you
wiil find a woman who can sit in the arm
chair of the library all day without any
anxiety, or tarry on the belated pillow,
and all tbe cares of tbe household are
thrown upon servants who have large
wages ana great experience; but that Is
the exception. I speak of the great masses
of housekeepers, to whom llfo is a strug
gle, and who at thirty years of age look as
though they were forty. The fallen at Cha
lons and Austerlitz and Gettysburg nnd
Waterloo are a small nnmber iu comparison
with those who have gone down under the
Armageddon of the kitchen. Go out to thu
country and look over the epitaphs on the
tombstones. They are nil beautiful and
Xioetlc, but if the tombstones could tell the
truth thousands of them would say, "Hore
lies a womun who was killed by too much
mending and sewing and baking and scour
ing nnd scrubing," and the weapon with
which she was killed was u broom or n
sewing machine or a ladle.
The housewife rises in the morning half
rested. At an irrevocable hour she must
have the morning repast ready. What if
the fire will not burn, what If the clock
stop, what if the marketing has not been
sent in? No matter that; it must be ready
at the irrevocable hour. Tnen the chil
dren must be got ready for school. But
what if the garments be torn? What if
they do not know their lessons? What if
tbe hat or sash is lost? They must bo
ready. Then you have theduty of the day,
or perhaps several days, to plan out. But
what if the butcher sends meat unmasti
cable? What if the grooer furnishes your
articles of food adulterated? What if the
piece of silver be lost, or a favorite chalice
be broken, or the roof leak, or the plumb
ing fail, or any one of a thousand things
occur? No mutter. Everything must be
ready.
A young woman of brilliant education
and prosperous surroundings was called
down stairs to help in the absence of the
servant, nnd there was a ring at tbe bell,
and she went to the door and an admirer
entered. He said: "I thought I beard
music in tbe house. Was it on the piano
or the harp?" She said: "Neither; it was a
frying pun accompaniment to a gridiron!
In other words, I was called down stairs
to help. I suppose sometime I shall have
to learn, and I have begun now." When
will the world learn that every kind of
work that is right is honorable?
As Martha opens the door I look in and
I also gee the trial of severe economy.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine households
out of a thousand are subjected to it either
under the greater or less stress of circum
stances. It Is especially so when a man
smokes expensive olgars and dines at
•ostiy restaurants. He yiil be very apt to
enjoin severe economy at bome. That 1*
what kills thousands of women—the
Attempt to make $S do the work of $7. It
Is amazing how some men dolo out money
to the household. If you have not got the
money, say so. If you have, be cheerful
In the expenditure. Your wife will be
reasonable. "How long does the honey
moon last?" said a young woman about to
enter the married state to her mother. The
mother answered: "The honeymoon lasts
until you ask your husband for money."
"How much do you want?" "A dollar."
"A dollnrl Cnn't you get along with fifty
cents? You are always wanting a dollar."
This thirty yea's' war against high prices,
this everlasting attempt to bring the outgo
within the income, has exhausted multi
tudes o 1 housekeeper?. Let me say to
such, It is a part of the divine discipline.
If it wore best for you, all you would hjvve
to do would be just to open the front win
dows and the ravens would fly in with
food, and after you had baked fifty times
from the barrel In the pantry, like the
barrel of Zarephath, the barrel would bo'
full, and the children's shoes would last as
lcng as the shoes of the Israelites in the
wilderness— forty years.
Oh, my friends, all these trials and
fatigues of home life are to preparo you
for heaven, for they will make that the
brighter in the contrast! A dying sold'er
was asked by a friend, "Have you anv
message to send to your father?" "Yes,"
said he; "tell him I have gone home."
"Well," said the frlond, "have you anv
message to send to your wife?" "Yes; tell
her I have gone 1,0 me." "You have other
friends. Would you like to send a message
to them?" "Yes; give them the same mes
sage. They will understand It. Tell them
I have gone home." And that heavenly
home will compensate, will fully atone, for
all the hardships and the trials and the
annoyances and the vexatious of the
earthly home. In that laud they never
hnnger, and consequently there will be no
nuisance of catering for appetite. In that
land of the white robes they have no mend
ing to do, and the air of that liilly country
makes them all well. No rent to pay there.
Every man owns his own houso, and «
mansion at that. It will not be so great a
ohange to step into the chariot of the skies
If on earth you rode. It will not be so
great a change if on earth you had all
luxuries and satisfactions. It will not be
so great a change for you to sit down on
the banks of the river of life if on earth
you had a country seat.
But oh, the joy of the weary feet when
they step into the celestial equippage, and,
oh, for the joy of those to whom home was
a martyrdom'on earth when they go into
that home whore they will never hive to
do anything they do not want to do! What
a change from tho time she put down the
rolling pin to tho tlmo she took up tho
scepter! If Chatsworth Tarlcond the Van
derbllt mansion were fitted into the celes
tial city, the.v would be looked at as unin
habitable rookeries, and Lazarus himself
would bo ashamed to be seen going in and
out of them, so great are the palaces
nwaiting Ood's dear children, and so much
grander the heavenly architecture than
the earthly. It Is often not only the toil
of the housekeeping, but it is the «ickne?s
and the sorrow that go along. It is a sim
ple fact that one-half of the women of the
land are invalids. The mountain lass who
has never had an ache or a pain may con
sider household work ot no verv groat
weariness, and at the eventide may
skip out to the fields and drive the cat
tle home, and until 10 o'clock at night
may fill the cnMn with laughing raoket;
but. oh, to do tho hard work of the house
hold with a shattered constitution—after
six weeks' whooping cough has raged in
the household, making the nights as sleep
less as the days—then it is not so easy!
And then this work of the house has often
to be undertaken when the norvos are
shattered with some bereavement that has
Dut desolation in every room of tho houso
and sent the crib into the garret because
Its occupant has been hushed into a slum
ber that needs no mother's lullaby. Oh, it
was a great deal easier for her'to brood
the whole flock than to brood a part of
them now that the rest have gone! You
may tell her that her departed children are
in the bosom of a loving God, but, mother
like, she will brood both flocks, putting
one wine of caro over the flock in the
putting tho other wing o[ care over
the flock in tho grave. Nothing but the
old fashioned religion of Jesus Christ can
take a woman happily through home trials.
All these modern religions amount to noth
ing. They do not help.
Solomon wrote out of his own miserable
experience—he had a wretched home; no
man can be happy with two wives, much
less with 700,and out of his wretched exper
ience he wrote—"Better is a dinner of
herbs where love is than a stalled ox and
hatred therewith." Oh, tho responsibilities
of housekeepersl Kings by their indiges
tion have lost empires and generals
through Indigestion have lost battles. One
of tho great statisticians says that out of
1000 unmarried men thirty were criminals,
and out of 1000 married men only eighteen
were criminals,showing the power of home.
And, oh, the responsibility resting upon
housekeepersl By the food they provide,
by the couch they spread, by the books
they Introduce, by the influence they bring
around the home, they are helping to de
cide the physical, the Intellectual, the
moral, the eternal welfare of the humun
raoe. Oh, the responsibility!
That woman sits in the house of God to
day perhaps entirely unappreciated. She
is the banker of her home, tho president,
the cashier, the teller, the discount clerk,
and ever and nnon there is a panic. God
knows the anxieties and the cares, and he
knows that this is not a useless sermcn,
but that there are multitudes of hearts
waiting for the distillation of the divine
mercy and solace In their hour of trials
and their home duties and their own fa
tigues. The world hears nothing about
them. They never speak about them. You
could not with the agencies of an inquisi
tion bring the truth out of them. They
keep it still. They say nothing. They en
dure and will until God and the judgment
right their wrongs.
It is tho self sacrificing people that are
happy, for God pays so largely, so glori
ously, so magnificently, in the deep and
eternal satisfactions of the soul. Self sa
crifice! We all admire it in others. How
little we exercUe of It! How much would
we endure? How much would we risk for
others? A very rough schoolmaster had a
poor lad that had offended the laws of the
school, and he ordered him to come up,
"Now," lie said, "you take oiT your cout
instantly and receive this whip." The boy
declined, and more vehemently the teacher
said, "I tell you, now, take off your cont.
Tuke it off instantly." The boy again de
clined. It was not because he was afraid
of tho lash; he was used to that in his cruel
home. But it was for shame. He bad uo un
dergarments, and when at last he removed
his coat there went up a sob of emotion all
through tho school as they saw wby ho did
not wish to remove hi 9 coat, and as they
saw the shoulder blades almost cutting
through the skin. As the schoolmaster
lifted his whip to strike a roseate, hoalthy
boy leaped up and said: "Stop school
master; whip me. He Is only a poor chap:
he can't stand it. Whip me." "Oh," said
the teacher, "it's going to be a very severe
scourging! But If you want to take thft
position of a substitute, you can do it."
The boy said: "I dou't care; whip me.
I'll take it; he's only a poor chap.
Don't you see the bones nlmost come
through the flesh? Whip me." And
when the blows came down on the boy's
shoulders, this healthy, robust lad mado
no outcry; he endured It all uncomplaining
ly. We all soy "Bravol" for that lad.
Bravo! That is the spirit of Christ! Splen
did! How much scourging, how much
chastisement, how much anguish will you
and I take for others? Oh, that we might
have something of that boy's spirit! Aye,
that we might huvesomething of the spirit
of Jesus Christ; for in all our occupations
and trades and businesses, and all our
life—home life, foreign life—we are to re
member that the sacrifice for others will
soon be over.

"Here to I>o Business."
As I was walking down a certain street
in New York City, writes Harry Grcen
smlth, my attention was called to a large
sign overhanging the sidewalk, which
read—"Here to Do Business."
I passed on; but later in the evening I
returned the same way, and the same sign
still shown forth its message, "Hero to Bo
Business." This timo tho changeable col
ored electric lights,which gleamed through
the letters, made the sign all thu more
noticeable.
My curiosity was aroused: I turnod to
to Investigate. A large plate glass window,
with its colored electric shades, sent forth
its glow across the street. I pushed aside
the mahogany screen doors and entered. I
found mysolf in a New York fashionable
saloon.
As I walked down the aisle I walked over
silver and gold dollars inlaid in the floor.
As I neared the further end, I found small
rooms curtained off, and furnished in
mahogany; chairs, tables and lounges, all
of the very be?t workmanship. For wains
coting they have beveled plate glass mir
rors. On the walls were, what some might
term beautiful oil paintings; to me they
were filthy, lewd, disgusting,
I went further and still these rooms con
tinued, lit up only by meagre wax candles —
the beautiful light of heaven being com
pletely shut out. I heard tho song of the
harlot and in disgust I turned from the
scene to pass out. But as I did so, I could
but stop and notice tho long bar, made ot
solid mahogony, Inlaid with silver and
gold coins,'and choice pearls.
Behind the bar was a long plato glass
I mirror. I noticed a Haw in one end of it,
and Inquired of the bartender the cause.
I was informed that some young men, hav
ing imbibed too freely, began quarreling.
One drew a revolver, to shoot the bar
tender, and, missing him, had hit the glass.
I The owner of the saloon, standing near by,
heard my question, and In a rage further
answered: "Yes! I would to God it had
i hit the man rather than have broken that
' glass."
Upon further Inquiry, I heard that the
interior of that saloon had cost a little
over 4100,000. With a pityiug eye, and a
! sorrowful heart, I turned from thosceno to
pass out; and to encouuter again that over
hanging sign—"Here to Do Business."
As 1 passed down the street, that sign
went ever before me; those words still
rang in my ears—"Here to Do Business."
Yes; what kind of business? A business
that will debauch .nanhood, that will ruin
womanhood, that will ensnare the young
man, that will rob virtue from the young
! woman, und leave them all outcasts from
I society, to walk our streets in despair, He
in the gutters in drunkenness; damned for
I this lire, and without hope for the life
which is to come!
i I went on my knees and asked my God.
"How long, O Lord, how long shall sin and
Satan rule this benighted land of ours?"
Lincoln's Promise to nig Mother.
While drinking whisky was the fashion
all about him, Abraham Lincoln never for
got his dead mother's request to close his
lips against intoxicants. Once, when he
i was a member of Congress, a friend criti-
I clsed him for his seeming rudeness in de-
I cilning to test the rare wines provided by
! their host, urging as reason for the re
i proof, "There is certainly no danger of a
' man of your years and habits becoming
addicted to its use."
"I mean no disrespect, John," answered
Mr. Lincoln, "but I promised ray precious
mother only a few days before she died
that I would never use anything intoxicat
ing as a beverage, and I consider that
promise as binding to-day as it was the
day I gave it."
"There is a great difference between a
child surrounded by a rough class of
drinkers, and a man in a home of refine
ment," Insisted the friend.
"But a promise is a promise forever,
John, and when mado to a mother it is
doubly binding," replied Mr. Lincoln.
The Secret Drinker.
The secret drinker Is no doubt injured in
the same way as others, and his foolish ef
forts to conceal this act Intensifies the in
jury, which after a time breaks out In some
unexpected form, ending fatally. The sud
den, unexpected death of persons'previous
ly supposed to be well, has in many ea?es
revealed the fact of secret spirit drinking
of many years' duration, with destruction
of vitality and general decadence. Life in
surance companies are often aware of this
faot, and appeal for help, but it is exceed
ingly difficult to convict or prove secret
drinking in a man with a large insurance,
and more difficult after death to bring out
this fact. The law In these eases will sel
dom allow presumptive evidence; it must
be direct and positive of the use of spirits.
Unmistakable insanity is present in some
cases, seen in the unusual cunning
wise calculation to procure spirits and con-*
ceal its effects.

"Many of our men are acquiring the
habit of drink. Saloons are on ever side
We as a regiment have not been cursed
with a canteen. But those regiments
where a canteen exists find the men drink

There are thousands here who had far bet
