To remove printer’s ink from paper place a thick pad of blotting paper be- neath the sheet of paper which is soil- ed. Then apply sulphuric ether with cotton wool, gently rubbing. Finally apply white blotting paper to absorb the color. Continue the application of fresh ether and repeat until all stains disappear. Do this away from a light. Printer’s ink is soluble in ether, oil or turpentine, and benzine. ONE CAUSE FOR DRINK HABIT. €xpert Traces Intemperance to Im- proper Feeding. “There is a cause for the érink hab- It which even good Christian parents do not understand,” says a writer in What to Eat. “They cannot realize why their children, with beautiful sur- roundings and daily Christian influ- ences, sometimes go far astray, be- coming sadly immoral, and in many instances drunkards. When they, as well as many of the physicians, shall baxe exhausted all other efforts to lo- cate the cause of the trouble, let them look to the stomach—the poor, abused stomach—and they will, in all proba- pility, find the source of the evil. From infancy many of the little ones are given food beyond the capacity of their digestive organs, AS soon as several teeth have appeared, meats are frequently a part of the bill of fare. These, as well as the other ar- ticles of food, are necessarily swal- lowed without proper mastication. Pepper, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar and highly seasoned salads also find their way into these young and tender stomachs until, as the result of such a diet, fermentation sets in and a little distillery is created in these youthful temples. Under such conditions a child becomes irri- table, quick tempered, untruthful, and it would be surprising if it grew up to noble manhood.” PREPARE FOR LONG FASTS, Nature Takes Good Care of Animals That Hibernate. A large number of species of ani- mals undergo more cr less prolonged and continuous fasts during the pe- riod of their winter or summer sleep. During such slumbers the more active functions cf the body are to a great extent suspended, while those that are earried on act slowly and entail com- paratively little waste of tissue and energy. Moreover, before the period et the winter torpor or hibernation takes place, many animals, such as bears, accumulate large stores of fat on various parts of the body, whick suffice to supply all the waste entailed by the respiratory function during the period in question, Fat is also ac- cumulated by the mouse-lemurs of Madagascar previous to the summer sleep, or aestivation, and is used up in a similar manner, their summer sleeps being undertaken for the pur- pose of avoiding the season of great heat and drought, when food is dif- ficult or impossible to procure. “Ah Sin, Esquire.” By way of corroborating my view that the title “Esquire” is utterly de- void of meaning, cne of my readers mentions that in Singapore, where he has resided for eleven years, it is not -only universally bestowed on every white man, but also upon the wealthier Chinese and Asiatics. “Ah Sin, Esq.,” looky and sounds well. It will surely lend an additional attrae- tion to life in a Rand mine or com- pound when the Celestial knows that the wealth he amasses out of his “av- erage minimum” wage will entitle hiza to such a designation. He could nox get a peacock’s feather or a yellow jacket at home for auything like the price.—London Truth. Grouse Has Many Defenses. The grouse has a hundred tricks c: defense. It will lie still unt‘l the hunter is within a yard of it, then soar straight upward in his front, towering like a woodcock; again, it will rise forty yaids away, and the sound of its wings is his only notice ef its pres- ence. It will cower upon a branch under which he passes, and his cap will not be more than a foot below it as he goes, and though it has seen him approaching it will remain quies- cert in fear until his back is turned. It will rush then, and when he has slewed himself hurriedly around he will catch only a glimpse of a brown, broad wing far away. One of Corea’s Superstitions. Near the city of Seoul, the capital of Corea, is a hill called Pouk Hea, which was formerly covered with trees. The legend runs that so long as a tree remained on the hill so long will Corea maintain its independence, and therefore no cone is allowed to eut.or touch a tree. But the natural consequence of this want of forestry has been that the trees have gradually died off, until now only one is left. On this one tree it is believed that the fate of the country rests, and when it goes Corea ag an independent state will go with it. Furnished rooms with or w'thou board.—Thos. B.

THE BIRD WE WORSHIP. American Eagle Furnishes Wonderful Exampie cf Constancy. In the discussion of the marriage question it has sometimes been denied that the birds of the air are monoga- mous. But the bird of birds, and the one that we most cherish as the em blem of the glorious American repub- lic, certainly is. The American eagle never mates but once, and lives with that one mate till he or she dies. If left a widower —even a young widower—the bald- headed eagle never mates again. He remains alone and disconsolate near the home he once shared with his former mate, and no other eagle can ever tempt him to forsake it or share it with another. Divorce is unknown with the Ameri- can eagle. He took her for better or for worse, and death alone separated them. With him it is, once a widow- er, always a widower. It is singular that his example is 30 seldom auate? Grand Rapids VillageLots .
