Housekeepers who have much brass work to keep clean will find the method in use at the United States Arsenals worthy of q trial, as it is considered the most perfect yet discovered. The modus operandi is to make a mixture of one part com mon nitric acid and one half part sulphuric acid in q stone jar, having also ready pail of fresh water and Q box of sawdust. The articles to be treated are dipped into the acid, then removed into the water, and finally rubbed with saw dust. This immediately changes them to bril- liant color.

The story goes that Arabi-Bey hates the
khcdive Ismail with an exceeding great
hatred, and the very best of reasons. When
Arab was as yet only alieutenant he fell in
love with young girl-Coptic or Arabic, we
do not know-of unusual beauty. He sue
ceeded i'll pleasing her, and the family like
wise; when it came to pass that Ismail one
day saw by chance the girl, and immediately
informed himself as to her place of dwelling.
Ismail easily compiled the father to ignore
Arab, for whose marriage preparations were
already being made; and the Khedive's
men carried the maiden off to harem.
Arab dared to protest but his protestations
were received with contempt He then
showed so dangerous disposition that the
Khedive tried to pacify him by comforting
upon him the title and rank of bey.
Arab accepted the position, but molly that
he might use it to revenge himself So the
thunders ofeighty-ton guns destroying Alex
andria, the riots, the financial crash, the i'm
mense injury to commerce, the flight of the
khedive, the danger to the Suez Canal, the
loss Of countless lives and property, the
destruction of a nations independence-all
had their origin in the unjust kidnapping of
u sixteen-year-old girl Well, Count Julian's
anger for another such monarchical crime
brought the Moors to the Rock of Tarick
and lost Spain to Christendom for centuries

pit filled with water, which is said to be un-
fathomabc. The dimensions of the pit arc about
fifty feet by thirty. Traditions about this old pit
have been handed down from the time of the war
of the Revolution. 1t is very near a large mill
ponds which often becomes very low in the sum-
mer. But the pit never seems to be affected by
drought, and it always retains its usual level
One record says that an hundred years ago a
drunken man who was driving team of mules
attempted to drive past the pit and, his mules be-
coming frightened, was precipitated therein, team
and man both being drowned. The place has,
therefore, the reputation of being haunted and is
somewhat avoided ut night
