Methods of Wasting Lace Curtains

Soiled lace curtains should never be

ience quite large curtains can be got up
at home if one only knows the proper
way. It is best to say at the start that
no washing powder of any kind should
be Used for fear of destroying the deli
cate fabric. If the water is hard It will
. be quite safe to use borax, kerosene or
ammonia as a softener.
After taking the curtains from tha
windows they should be taken out of
.doors and be well shaken to discharge

f Your Culture," Says Pastor
"The so-called -cultured men of the
world often fall short when mesured
up to the Christ Ideal. Goethe, who
was. perhaps the Impersonation of the
highest culture . outside of Christ,
showed the weak spot in being unwill
ing when his country called to go forth
to battle. Emerson probably embodies
the highest American culture, yet this
same culture, lifted above men, hard
ened his nature and made him incapable
'of viewing the weakness and poverty
of others with-absolute fairness.
"Romney, the " great "English artist,

to have the edges meet. A strip of
white cloth basted around the square
will keep the edges together. Next catch
stitches here and there through all the
thicknesses.
Lay the curtains In cold water to
soak, meanwhile, preparing a hot suds,
using a good white soap. Remove to
the hot suds for a second soaking. In
about an hour wring and wash In clean
suds, then put into the boiler with water
in which soap has been shredded. When
clean take out the curtains into a tub
of warm water. Squeeze through the
hands and rinse first in lukewarm wa
ter and then In cold. Bluing may ba
used if necessary, but few curtains now
adays are pure white.; If the curtains
are to be treated now is the time to
do it. .
Coffee and tea are the usual agents.
It is said the Indian teas make the
clearest liquid, hence they are pre
ferred, tut , both coffee and tea must
be strained before using. .Any sediment
will be apt to spot the curtains.
Some housekeepers prefer cold water
starch, others the boiled kind.
If the curtains are to be stretched,
not ironed, then the former is prefera
ble. A thin boiled starch Is sufficient,
using, say, about 18 parts of water to
one of starch.
Put this in a flat pan and lay the

distribute the starch evenly. The cur

pulling into shape. If a stretcher is
available the curtains ran be washed

snry, I suppose, to eay do not use a
board when they will be ready for the
stretcher.
A good substitute for. the stretcher is
a large sheet laid over the floor, the
curtain placed upon It smoothly and
each scallop held down With a pin, The
large pins such as are used in banks

Power of Prayer. -. .
Rev. L. RH Richardson, the newly In

from Seattle recently, took as the sub
ject for his opening sermon yesterday
morning "The Lost Art-of-tho-Chrts
ttarr'Life."--ln parrhe" saidr '
"The lout art of the Christian life
Is the practice of prayer,- This fact
would be deplorable, if prayer Vore

when we recall tliat praying IS a vital

The Christian's native air,

Prayer Is Ecsential.

"The prayers of Moses brought guid
ance to his nation; the prayers of
John Robinson and his fellow pilgrims
on the eve of their departure from tho
land of oppression, without question,
brought the Mayflower safely across the
Btormy. Atlantic Washington's prayers
doubtless helped to secure Independence
far more than powder and bullets, and
Lincoln's prayer Just before the bat
tle of Gettysburg, according to his own
admission helped largely to break Ok
backbone of the rebellion Who can es
timate the importance of the mother's
prayer for her boy, or the church mem
ber's prayer for the kingdom of Christ.
The great Tennyson ?ould well Bay
'more things are wrought by prayer than
this world dreams of.'
"And yet we must admit that in
Spite of Us need, prayer is the lost art
of the Christian life we are so busy
yet we are not too busy to breathe. How
busy the master was; how tired he be
came yet he felt the need of prayer.
Cold mountains and midnight air wit
nessed the fervor of his prayer. Perhaps
we say 'I am good enough even if I
don't pray.' Again Jesus' example re
bukes us for he prayed nights at a
time. Or, we may -be doing many acts
of kindness and may be very active in
religious work. But still again, h who
was the king of all gootl Samaritans re
bukes us by his prayerful life. If
Jesus needed to pray how much we
need to pray. Nor can church organi
zations, however effective, be a substi
tute for prayer. The wheels are
needed but more than they, the spirit
within the wheels.
Importance of Prayer.
'The most important' meeting of the
church Is the good old time prayer
meeting. Tet there Is not one church
out of a huoded that has a creditable
part of the membership at this service.
Family prayer even in many of our so
called devout homes is a relic of a more
prayerful past. And how badly the pul
pit needs a prayerful pew. No church
ehould even cast reproaches on the min
ister, it the members do not support him
If ayerfulTyTas well as fTnancIalTy:
"Be sure that God will answer your
prayers. How do I know this? Science
that is a superficial, cracked headed
science says that I anj foolish In as
serting this. The matfrtallst sneers at
the man who prays. Listen! He who
Is considered by skeptic ftnd believer
alike, to be the world's spiritual leader,
says in his sermon on prayer in the 11th
chapter of Luke, 'And I say unto you,
ask and it shall be given you; seek and
ye shall find, knock and It shall be
opened unto you, for everyone that ask'
eth, recelveth, and he that seeketh, find
eth. Net only thla. if there were no
answer to prayer, why did Jesus teach
his disciples the Lord's prayer? More
than this, we have the testimony of
millions or people to the fact of an.
swered prayer. The true scientist recog
nlzes that there are spiritual facts as
well as chemical facts. The altar is as
xala&,,UieJaJMr.alui4r
the things our maker has made.
"It's true that God does not always
give us what we want. It la .Xor lunate
that he docs not. He Is our loving fath

heavenly parent answers in the negative
our petitions that seem good to us, but

"Therefore, God gives us what we
want or something better. He let Gar

Often he refuses our requests, but-he
gives us something better. Especial
ly God loves to fill our lives with the
holy spirit. 'If ye then being one, know
how to give good gifts unto your chfl

the lady m question laughingly, re
marked, "They show hia heart Is in the

One of re
ceived yesterday by this popular expo
nent of temperance comes from a Free

"I am. sending you a few copies of

think you are doing a great work In

If I efer got married I would want to

This "fighting prohibitionist" woman
Is wedded to her work, however, so the

new fields of matrimonial possibilities.
Wonderful Collection
of Butterflies
Butterflies are pretty things,
See the color on their wings.
Who would hurt a butterfly?
If any of the tiny men or maidens
of Portland have ever had any inclina
tion to hurt these brilliantly beautiful
insects they should pay a visit to the
wonderful collection of butterflies, the
property Of the late Mrs. William Ladd,
of this city, which is now on exhibition
In the children's department of the Port
land public library. A peep at these
gorgeous insects their wings seeming
ly sprinkled with rainbow dust is sure
to "down" any. naughty instincts in the
mind of the worst wayward youngster.
Little butterflies measuring less
than an inch across; enormous ones
measuring seven inches from tip to tip;
black ones and white ones, blue ones
and green ones; spotted ones and plain
ones; others so like a leaf you will al
most swear they have been "made" for
a collection, and still others with wings
like great opals all these and many
more are to be found In this wonderful
collfictwn embrat'tits, B9 It floes. spec
imens collected by Mrs. Ladd trom all
parts of the world. There are insects
from India, from South America and
from Ceylon; still others from several
of the New Englandetates, and then,
what may surprise many people, some
of the most lovely .ones are from this
immediate section. Mount Hood and the
city of Portland. The gaily tinted
"flies" have been carefully mounteo, so
that .they term a collection of absorbing
Interest to both old and young.
One, known In common parlaaoe as
"the walking leaf," is so leaf like as to
be positively fascinating. The color Is
a delicate green, the wings ace leaf
shaped and the veins are strikingly nat
ural. Another one cleverly dubbed "the
painted lady" Is like a superb miniature
In Doint of delicacy and beauty or color
lne. Still another resembles a bit of
tree bark. One of the most wonderful
ones has peculiarly shaped wings of
deepest green "velvet," with round spots
of peacock blue. These are only a lew.
The collection must be seen to be appre.
elated. The exhibit has been- source
of much Interest with the children who
frequent the library, and the demand for
books along lines of natural history has
increased accordingly

there are comparatively few who dream
of applying this principle of analysis

the same care that you displayed the
last time you had an opportunity to

The straight road that, goes grimly on

disheartening. Since a straight line is
proverbially said to be shorter than a
winding one, it is probably a good deal
shorter than the delightful winding path
through the woods; but It seems far
longer, and the thing that seems Is often
nearer the truth than the thing that is.
Certainly the straight road Is more

THE NAME OVER THE DOOR
When you buy merchandise of any sort jewels, cloth,
lng or household joods are you not led to patronize
some particular store in each line because of the stability
of that house, the character of their goods and their repu
tation for square dealing; or, on the other hand, do you
buy as cheaply as is possible. Irrespective of quality or the
reputation of. the dealer?
To no purchase that you make should more thought.
-more-care and-more consideration begiven -than tha buy-
ing of your piano, because under the beauties of the finely
finished veneers of a piano lies a delicate mechanism, a
constructive principle, which, if ' properly and carefully
made of good materials, assembled by highly skilled work
men, will last and give satisfaction for an average lifetime.
If, on the other hand, the same finery finished case covers
what is termed the commercial piano well, how are you
