And That Eeminds Meâ€" When the burners of kerosene lamps come clogged, put them in a basin of water, containing washing soda, and them boil for a few minutes. This will make them perfectly clean, and almost as bright as new. Coarse brown paper soaked in vinegar and placed on the forehead is good for a sick headache. If the eyelids are gently bathed in cool water the pain in the head is generally allayed. When there is a rat hole through plaster- ing. Or between the stones of a cellar wall, the most effectual way to stop it is to fill it with plaster of Paris mixed with broken glass. Holes in wood are best stopped by nailing tin over them. The cleanest and most perfectly polished floors have no water used on them. They are simply rubbed off everj morning with a large flannel cloth, which is soaked in kero- sene oil oi)ce in two or three weeks. Take the cloth, and with a rubbing brush or stubby broom go raf.idly up and down the planks (not across them). After a few rnb bings the floor will assume a polbhed ap- pearance that is not easily defaced. If you want a pleasing and interesting ob- ject on your mantle shelf, try growing an oak tree in a bulb glass. Si and an acorn by a thread within half an inca of some rain, water contained in a hyacinth glass, and permit it to remain undisturbed a few months, when it will burst and throw down a root into the water and shoot upward its straight and tapering stem with beautiful freen leaves. These miniature trees live ut a few months, but during that time af- ford considerable interest. A little ammonia or borax in the water you wash your hands xrith, and that water just luke-warm, will keep the skin clean and soft. A littJe oatmeal mixed with the water will whiten the hands. Many people u!e glycerine on their hands when they go tu bed, wearing gloves to keep the bedding clean but dycerine makes some skin harsh and red. These people should rub their hands with diy oatmeal ai\d wear (rloves in bed. The brat preparation for tne hands is the white of an egg, with a grain of alum dissolved in it. "' Roman toilet paste" is merely the white ot an ^g, barley flour and honey. They say it was used by the Rom- ana in the olden time any way it is a firstrate thing, but it is a mean, sucky stuff to use, and does not do the work any better than oatmeal. The roughest and hardest hands can be made soft and white in a month's time by doctoring them a little at bedtime all the tools you need are s nail bnuh, a bottle of ammonia, a box of pow- dered borax and a little fine white sand to rub the stain o£^ or a cut of lemon, which will do even better, for the add of the lemon will clean anything.

Mr. Morse, the inventor of the telegraph, was annoyed by infringements upon his patent, the defence cf which entailed costly lawsuits. He advised inventors to keep their processes and machines secret, if they could, and work them themselves, or sell them to a powerful company, rich enough to indulge in suits at lati for the protection of their rights. Huntsman, the inventor of steel ingots, anticipated Mr Morse's advice as to secrecy by a hundred years. He was an English watchmaker, and his temper had been so tried by defective watch-aprings, that he determined to make his own steel and his own springs. He discovered, after several experiments, that a piece of steel if melted and cast into an ingot, would be uniform throughout. He offered steel ingots for sale, and such was the demand for them that he built a factory to produce them. The process was kept a secret, and his workmen werepaidhigh wages and swcm not to reveal the method. One snowy night a stranger rang the bell of the factory gate, and appealed piteously to be admitted, to shelter himself from the storm. He was dressed as a farm laborer, and the foreman, not suspecting any deceit, allowed him to stretch himself upon the floor near the furnace. The man apparently sank off to sleep. The workman cut the bars of steel into small pieces, and threw bits into crucibles, which were thrust into the furnace until their contents were mdted. Then they drew forth the glowing crucibles, poured the liquid contents into moulds, and set them apart to cooL Then the stranger awoke, got up, bade the workmen good -ni^ht, and went away, taking the secret of making cast steeL He waa an iron manufacturer in disguise, but was, nevertheless, a thief.

India contains three races of men one in Central India supposed to be the race ot the aborigines, which worship ibe evil spirits another in southern India, and the descend- ants of the immigrant Aryan race, the same stock from which you have descended. Two hundred millions of the people are under British rule and 50,000,000 under feudal native rule. The religionqare divided as follows 170,000.000 Hindus, 70,000,000 Mohammedans and 32 000,000 who accept the lesser rel^ions, including Christians. Hinduism is a mixture of pantheism and polytheism. The ptindples of the religion are announced by the naitve philosophers thns There is one existence and no second, all that exists is God I am God or a part of (jod. Hindu conversation consists in re- cognizing the fact that one's self b a part of God. The Hindus do not believe that the universe came from nothing, but that it is an emanation from the supreme spirits. Salvation consists in absorption into the divine soul. This doctrine has been wrought out into two philosophies, each having its priesthood and rites. There is another *way of salvation among the common people, known as the way of work. THEIB self-inflicted PUNISHMENTS. In the following out the belief we may see all through India persons inflicting upon their bodies the severebt perance in the at- tempt to make the soul independent of the body. Buring the hot months persons will stand within drcles of fire with the sun above doing penance. In cold weather they may be seen standing in a river day and night for 15 or 20 days. A man who lives near me has erected a stone pillar, and every morning mounts it and looks directly into the face of the sun until it sets. He has done this for seven years, and now his face is withered, burned up and his sight almost wholly destroyed. Other men lay themselves upon beds of spikes, or sit with the r arms continually raised t heaven until their arms literally wither to the bone. OTHEB beliefs. Another way of salvation is the way of faith. The believer in this instance puts his trust in some object. Everything is pregnant with divine life and is worthy of worship. This doctrine opens the way for polytheism, and there is no object in heaven above or in earth beneath, which is not worshipped by the Hindu. Sun, moon and stars, human beings and brute beasts, are all made ob- jects of worship. The cow and the monkey especially are sacred animals and. images of cows and monkeys may be found in every temple. A special day is set apart for the worship of serpents. The Himalaya moun- tains and the River Ganges are also sacred. A drop of Ganges water in a man's bath cleanses him from all sins, no matter how heinous. The ashes or bones of any man cast on the river float directly to heaven. All persons dying upon its banks are also sure to go to heaven sooner or later. The 250,000,000 of people have 333,000,000 of gods. The Benares are 2,000 temples, con- taining 500,000 images, ministered to by 20,000 priests or Bra!^ mins. The Mohammedan religion in India is so much influenced by the polytheistic Hindu beliefs that one-tenth of the prophet's fol- lowers are strictly faithful to him. Mission- ary work in India dates from 1813. Efforts were made before, but were fruitless. There are now 28 missionary societies work- ing in India, employing 600 ordained mis- sionaries. The work is accomplished main- ly through the dialect preaching of the word of God in the bazars, the chapels and at the great festivals education of the younger classes and the printing press. There are 10,000 pupils in tne mission schools at pre- sent, and two printing presses are used to print scriptures, tracts, etc., in the various languages existing in India. Two news- papers are published. Mnch influence is gained by the practice of medicine. Lady physicians do a great work among the Hindu women. There are now 600,000 baptized converts in India.

Tobacco was first introduced into Western Europe in 1560 by Francesco Hernandez, who imported some tobacco-plants from North America into Spain. The tube, or pipe, in which the Spaniards smoked the imported weed was called tabaco and hence came the name which ia now so familiar to civilization all over the world. In Spain it is still called, tabaco; in Germany, Holland, and Russia, tabak; in France, tabac; and in England and the United Stetes, " tobacco." Sir Walter Raleigh, fresh from one of his vojra^s to yirginia, wap th* firat to make smoking fashionable in this country, and even went so far aa to induce Queen Elizabeth " to try a few whifib of the bewitching vegetable." "The Queen," aaya Colond Bired, the founder of Ridhmond, in Virginia, " graciously accepted of it; ba^ finding her stomach sicken, it waa prbsently wliiapered by the Earl of Leioester'a faction that Sir Walter had certainly poisoned her Majesty.

Bftlus adeem* plidied the feat of Iradini; '750 men, most of them heavily laden with ammnnition and other stores intended for Emin Pasha, through 350 miles of famine-stricken^conn- *^'try. "He requiri^ five steamers' to carry his expedition tp the .^'i^^^i"^*' ^°' ^^ found only three steamb6ats available and with ttaeae inadequate resources he mtmaged, by taking a lot of barges in tow, to transport nieirly fonr-fifths of his pjirty SCO miles up the river, atriying.at.the Aruwimi a da^ or two before .he expected to reach that point. The sufferings of liis expedition may be in- ferred from the fact that the collapse of a number of his men, who were unable to proceed, waa due soldy to weakness result- ing from their scanty rations. When hun- ger drove his hundreds of carriers to the verge of r«volt, between Stanley Pole and Bolobo, Stanley put the rebellious ring- Itaders in irons, uid his prompt severity restored discipline and savml his expedition from the ruin that threatened it. Stanley has not been very popular with most of the men he has introduced on the Congo. With rare exceptions he haa not taken them into his confidence or mingled with them on terms of personal intimacy. One of them, who served for three years under him in important positions wrote that he rarely consulted his subordinates, never confided his plans to them, and that he had lived for years with Stanley and still felt that he did not know the man. " If Mr. Stanley told me," said Lieut. Braconnier," to pack my baggage and be ready to start in an hour, I would not dream of asking him where we were going. He would simply tell me my own duties required all my attention." 'These very men, who have not admired Stanley in his personal relations with his subordinates cave had great confidence in his good judg- ment and ability as a leader and some of them have expressed their admiration of his handling of the expedition now in his charge. During the sea vovage to the Congo the Zanzibar porters got into troub le with the sixty Soudanese, whom they outnumbered ten to one. There was a terrible row and the overpowering Zanzibar! mob, with clubs and firewood, were driving the Soudanese down into a stifling place between decks, when Stanley appeared on the scene with his stick, belabored all. the frantic porters within reach, drove them back, and quieted the tumult. One secret of his success is the mastery Stanley has always possessed over the hundreds of ignorant natives who have helped him in his enterprises. More than onfe African expedition, like Lieut. Giraud's has been ruined because its commander lacked the quality of leadership and insu- bordinate attaches got the upper hand. On J;his occasion StaiUey assigned the poor Soudanese to one part of the vessel, within which he forbade the Zanzibaris to intrude, and thereafter there was perfect peace among the different elements of the party. Before the big expedition debarked on the lower Congo to begin its land march the party had been divided into companies of about seventy men, each of which was put in charge of one o^ Stanley's European as- sistants. Each Captain had his distinc- tive flag and received every morning the orders for the day. The chiefs of several of the Congo stations have expressed their admiration of the perfect order and system with which every movement of the party was conducted. Officers at Leopoldville have said that when a steamer is about to leave that port one would think a huge Atlantic liner was taking her departure. Stanley's command, however, marched in detachments to the waiting fleec, took t^e positions assigned them in the most per- fect order, and were on their way up the river before half of LeopoldAdlle knew they had broken camp. "The departure of the steamers," writes a member of the Sanford expedition, "was quite a sight. Every- thing went with the smooth exactitude of a machine, and not a' hitch of any kind oc- curred." The surprise to which Stanley treated Leopoldville upon his arrival at that place was quite characteristic of the man. The sleepy settlement had hardly woke up one day when it was astonished to see that some distance below the town a score of tents had been rear^, and hundreds of men were hard at work clearing a space, for their camp. Stanley had arrived and had his camp half pitched before anybody in Leopoldville knew th^t he was within milesof theplace. The characteristic prompt- ness, also, with which he cuts Gordian knots that he cannot untie was well illus- trated by the alacrity with which he de- spatched a force of soldiers and seized the steamer Henry Reed after the missionaries had formally declined to let him have the services of that vessel. A few hours after he reached Stanley Pool he had four parties of hunters on the waters of that broad ex- panse shooting hippopotami, and the meat these hunters suppued was all that saved liis expedition from dire distress. None but a remarkable man could do the work that Heniy M. Stanley has. achieved in the Dark Continent; and from all the reports that have oome back from the Congo, his qualities aa a leader of expeditions in Africa have never sfaone^Jmore brilliantly than in the enterprise which he is now leading through an unknown region to the relief of Emin Pasha. poniahing their chUdren a^ ears.
