China and Glassware.

One of the most important things is
to season glass and china to sudden
changes of temperature, so that it will
remain sound after exposure to sudden
heat or cold. This is best done by pla-
cling the articles in cold water, which
must gradually be brought to the boil
ing point, and then allowed to cool very
slowly, taking several hours to do it.
The commoner the materials the more
care in this respect is requireds The
very best glass and china is always well
seasoned, or annealed, before it is sold.
If the wares are properly seasoned in
this way they may be washed in boiling
water without fear of fracture, except in
frosty weather, when, even with the best
annealed wares, care must be taken not
to place them suddenly in too hot water.
All china that has any gliding upon it
may on no account be rubbed with a
cloth of any kind, but merely rinsed first
in hot and afterward in cold water, and
then left to drain till dry. If the gild-
ing is very dirty and requires polishing,
it may now and then be rubbed with a
soft wash leather and little dry
whiting; but this operation must not be
repeated more than once year, other
wise the gold will most certainly be
rubbed off and the china spoiled.
When the plates, etc, are put away in the
china closet, pieces of paper should be
placed between them to prevent scratches
on the glaze or painting, rs the bottom
of all ware has little particles of sand
adhering to it, picked up from the oven
wherein it was glazed. The china
closet should be in dry situation, as a
damp closet will soon tarnish the gild-
ing of the best crockery.
In common dinner service, it is
great evil to make the plates too hot, us
it invariably cracks the glaze on the
surface, if not the plate itself. We all
know the result-it comes apart; mo
body broke it, sit was cracked be-
fore" or cracked long time ago."
The fact is, when the glaze is injured,
every time the 'things" are washed the
water gets to the interior, swells the
porous clay, and makes the whole fabric
rotten. In this condition they will also
absorb grease, and when exposed to
further heat the grease makes the dishes
brown and discolored. If an old, i'll
used dish be made very hot, indeed, fat
Will be seen to eXude from the minute
assures upon its surface. These latter
remarks apply more particularly to COM
mon wares.
As rule. warm water and a soft
cloth are all that is required to keep
glass in good condition; but water bot
ties and wine decanters, in order to
keep them bright, must be rinsed out
with little muriatic acid Commonly
known as spirits of salt, which is the
best agent for removing the fur
which collects in them. This acid is
far better than ashes. sand, or shot, for
ashes and sand scratch the glass, and if
the shot is left in by accident it is poi
sonous. Richly cut glass must be
cleaned and polished with a soft brush,
upon which little fine chalk or white
wash is put; by this means the luster
and brilliancy is preserved.

How to Enjoy Receptions.

1t depends wholly how YOU look on
these affairs whether they are enjoyable.
There is crush and crowd; the same
people with slight variations at the same
houses which are all done up in very
much the same artistic decorative man.
ner, with tea and cakes on side table,
or set out in more grandiose style in the
dining-room, people come in, speak to
the hostess, ere presented to the guest of
honor, say something fiat or absurd. are
pushed aside by other corners and 90
their way to distant corners, where they
may find an acquaintance who is worth
chatting to and who will sympathize
about this unsatisfactory ''meeting"
with the distinguished person who will
never recognize them again. On the
other hand, where the hostess has the
faculty of drawing her company to-
gether and making it pleasant" formal
receptions become informal and people
linger to talk and see each other, until a
little brass clock on the mantel warns
them the dinner hour is near at hand.
There are two or three houses in Boston
where society never fails to enjoy itself,
provided it goes in good mood and in
its best togs.
So few women here understand the
art of ''holding saloon that one is
amazed that people who go out much do
not die OF monotony and stupidity be-
fore the winter is over. When, however,
a lady is graceful, cordial hostess as
well as light in the art and literature,
she is very valuable social acquisition,
toward whom everybody naturally and
willingly gravitates. Given luxuriantly
appointed house, the wish and will to
open it to the world, the time and money
to devote to entertaining, and what else
is needed? A great deal Tact, for one
thing, a kindly disposition, the indefn-
able gift of popularity, for others, pro-
vided one wishes to be regarded as a
success and ones house as the place
where pleasant people like to frequent
and celebrities to shine in. The person
who can command all this holds the
fort, or in other words, ''knows how to
keep a saloon" as Boston Mrs. Mala-
prop once expressed it.-Boston Letter.

An Honest Dollar.

THE HERALD has published the two
most prominent speeches made in con-
gress on the silver question; those of
Senator Beck and of Congressman Rea-
gan. That they both present many
truths we do not deny, but we are not
in sympathy with the general tenor of
either. We do not believe that one
class of society is arrayed against the
other, nor that it is the studied purpose
of those who advocate an honest cur
rency to deceive the people. Men who
attempt to show that o dollar worth
eighty cents can continue to buy dol
lars WORTH if their coinage be con-
tinued much longer, are deceiving
themselves and the people too. The
laboring man will be the first to feel
the effects of deprecated currency.
No government on earth has power to
do more than decide the substance, or
substances to be used for money. con-
troll the amount to be issued, and fix the
relative values of coins, and the repre-
sentatives of coin. The absolute value
will be determined by the laws of trade.
Nor is it to be inferred that plenitude
OF money always indicates healthy
state of business. If goods are bought
with money, so is money brought with
goods. The chief mistake which is
made by those who advocate the coin
age of the present silver dollar, is in
not recognizing the two fold function
of money. They look upon it as sim
ply medium of exchange. But it is
also a standard Of values. The silver
bullion in a silver dollar, as coined I'M
der the law of 1873, is worth about 80
cents, as compared with the gold bull
lion in gold dollar, as coined under
the coinage laws of the United States.
Here is difference of about 20 per cent
in the real value of the two dollars; and
yet both are by law made full-legal
tender in the discharge of contracts, If
the silver law be continued, the result
ut no distant period will be that the sill
YER dollar, now worth only so cents,
and likely to be worth less. will prac-
tically be the exclusive standard of val
ue, and all payments viii be computed
therein, while gold will be virtually de-
monetized, bought aud sold at a pre-
MUM, and largely driven out of the
country. Then an 80 cent dollar will
buy but 80 cents worth, and there is no
escape from it.
