How to Clean Clock Gases.

"How shall | clean this clock case
when it becomes soiledP"
A lady, who had just purchased n
handsome marble-cased clock, was
talking with the jeweler preparatory
to removing the treasure to her home.
That is easy enough. If the case
has spots or stains on it take equal
parts of fresh oil of vitrioi and lemon
juice; shake up these substances very
thoroughly in bottle, wet the spots
with the mixture. and in few minutes
afterward rub with soft linen cloth
and the spots will have disappeared. :"
YES, that is all right; but how can
| restore the polish? | once ruined a

mixture of beeswax and turpentine.

| Bob Burdette Tells How He Does 1t to
the Satisfaction of All Concerned.
1t doesn't lie in some people to get
along with servants. They have no
| tact no knack of managing. There is
great deal in managing a servant in
such way that the minion isn't aware
of it. But some people don't know
how to do this, and consequently a
servant that is jewel in my well-reg-
ulated household is utterly useless in
my ncighbor's service. Now, not long
ago i had occasion to part with a COL
ared man. l didn't want to cast him
upon the cold world, because feared
that if the world got too cold he would
come back to me. 80 l unloaded him
upon a neighbor l never had a ripple
of trouble with him. had employed
him ostensibly to groom a horse occa-
sionally and NOW the lawn once or
was running an African dormitory and
a poker layout in my stable, and the
general appearance of my premises
finally brought me letters from the
American Missionary Union, asking
permission to establish one of their
Congo out stations between my barn
and the kitchen. This, as much as
any thing else, induced me to part with
Albert He shipped with me under the
nom de plume of Albert Wilson, but
noticed that some of the natives called
him Lame Jake" and he requested
me, in writing his letter of recon-
mendation. to call him Thompson
Easley. BY and by my neighbor said
to me: THAT man, Sam Norton, you
sent to me-did you ever have any

one thing l tell him, not thing
"Oh, WE'LL" l said, "he tried that on
me, too. when he first came, but l set
tied that in short order" How did
you manager asked my neighbour.
Well" | told him, 81 quit telling
him to do any thing" And do you
know my neighbor was real angry with
me. and abused me. and said l was
fool and had deceived him. You see,
he had no tact; that very night Albert
landed on my coast again. He con-
fided to me that his real name was
James Sinclair. and he brought with
him his brother, whom he introduced
as Walter Taylor They took up their
old quarters in the barn. and boarded
with me for a week before l was able
to secure them places in the county
Jail. They both left me with severe
regret, and Albert said, in parting,
that any time l wanted him to come
back, n letter addressed to Charles
Martin would reach him. Albert was

richest man in names l ever worked
