The Risk of Cleaning Pictures.

The question of picture cleaning is one of
the most complicated that can be- Suppose
you leave a very dirty picture as it is, do you
see, can you possibly see, what the artist
paintedi Assuredly not. And why should
decent people tolerate dirty pictures when
they viii not tolerate a dirty tableclothl The
answer is that, if the picture could be cleaned
as safely as the tablecloth, it would be done
without hesitation, but that cleaning may
possibly remove light glazes and scumblings
along with the varnisb. and that If these
glazes, the finishing work of the artist, are
once removed, no human being, except the
artist who painted the picture, can replace
them, says an Acknowledged authority. But
by the time picture urgently wants cleaning
the painter has generally been for many
years in his grave. Therefore, in having
picture cleaned, you are risking that which
cannot be replaced. York Journal

do not depend upon that for their bread, and

uphold the price, which Is now less than half

Good Uses for Old Newspapers.

All old newspapers should be saved, folded
neatly and given a place in some closet or on
a shelf. They can be used for packing china,
glass or tin, and they are the best possible
articles for cleaning windows or mirrors; in
fact, nothing polishes glass as newspaper does.
Take newspaper, or a part of one, according
to the size Of the glass. Fold it small and dip
il into a basin of clean, cold water; when
thoroughly wette1 squeeze it out in your
hand as you would a sponge, and then rub it
hard oil over the face of the glass, taking
care, If il is mirror, that II is not so wet
that the moisture will stream down the glass
also that no drops get beneath the frame and
behind the glass, as they will remain there in
bubbles and cannot be dislodged without re
moving the board at the back But there is
no danger of such accidents if the newspaper
is merely uloistened or dampened throughout
Aftes the glass has been rubbed well with
damp paper, leave for minute or two; theI
take fresh paper folded small in your hand
and rub the glass thoroughly with it until it
looks clear and bright, which will be sur
prisingly soon-almost immediately, IN fact.
Finish with fresh piece OF newspaper, thor
oughly dry This method, simple as it is,
will be found on trial the best and most eNpe-
ditiOus way Of cleaning mirrors or any plate
glass, giving a Ciearncss and polish which
cannot be 80 soon produced by any other
process. Window panes may be cleaned in
this manner, also the glasses Of spectacles.
The glass globe Of lamp may also be thus
cleaned The efficacy is attributed tn the
materials used in making the printing ink.

No sane parent would paper a child's bed
room with representations of murders and
executions from The Police Gazette, and yet
the exhibition of Punch and Judy offers this
and nothing more, and does it In the pernicious
form of action instead Of picture. From be
ginning to end the performance has not one
redeeming trait All the fun lies in the fact
that Punch successively knocks on the head
or otherwise slaughters his baby, his wife, the
doctor, the policeman, the servant, and such
others as the varying ingenuity of the oper
atOr may introduce, that he counts the
corpses over hustles them about, and stuffs
them into coffins with every form of irrev-

down by demons. 1t is not strange that there
should be city precincts so degraded that this
sort Of thing should Just meet the public
taste In the old time Seven DialS of London

Prearranged Conversation in E.eli.A.

Some thirty years ago was an attachs

Louis was then alive, although he had
been deposed for making fool of himself
about Lola Monies. used frequently TO
meet him in the streets, when he always
stopped me to ask how Queen Victoria
was. had at last respectfully to tell him
that her majesty was not in the habit of
writing to me every day respecting her
health. His son was then the reigning
king. At court receptions he liked TO
show off his knowledge OF languages. In
order to be quite correct in his English,
he was accustomed to submit the
observations that he contemplated max
ing in that language TO aprofessor of Eng
hsh. The professor once or twice got into
difficulty owing to our answers not being
precisely what he had anticipated In the
prepared conversations. So he came to rs
and explained the system After this the
conversations never encountered a hitch,
for we knew what the king was to say,
and arranged our answers so as to give
him the cues.-Cor. London Truth.

For myself do not blame any woman for
expecting or getting everything that is pretty
or enjoyable, and therefore her birthright.
What does make me sick at heart, though, Is
to see a member Of my own sex demand
everything and give nothing but the barest-
boned honor in return. There is rarely
woman who does not look the comelier for
smiling; there is certainly not one In exist
ence, 10 matter how cherished, VINO wouldn't
be the better loved for returning favor with
at least pleasant word, and a kindness with
q smile. Why is it, Oh, why Is it that more
girls are not brought up not only with the
idea more clearly shown that more flies can
be caught with sugar in a day than a spider
can catch with a web In a week, but also that
the fly likes the sugar immensely, while he is
more than likely to lose one or both wings in
the webf It is well that man should have
a head, and il is well that he should have a
heart, but he is not "real nice to live with
unless his wings are perfect-Cor. New York
