us tired, it is that old state, moss
back phrase, trace pride" When or
wherever two or more of us chance
to meet, we seldom part without ex-
paciating a little on Grace pride. Is
it deep racial feeling, or a mere
sentimental out-ponring without

tend with realities and cherish wei

Mending Broken Articles.

Shellac cement is made of two parts
of shellac and one part of Venetian
turpentine fused together and formed
into sticks. In mending glass or china,
warm the latter enough to melt the
stick on the edges of the piece to be
mended. Diamond cement is also
used for mending glass, china and
earthenware, and is made by adding a
little gum ammonia to isinglass dis
solved in weak spirits. Put it in bot
tie and keep it well corked. The
handles of knives and forks can be
mended with resin. The hollow in the
handle is filled with powdered resin,
the iron stalk is made red hot and
thrust into the handle, where it will re-
main firmly fixed after it has cooled.
Plaster of Paris should be kept in every
household, as it is excellent for mending
lamp-stands, spar, bronze, etc. In mend
ing lamp which has become loosened
from its mental socket thoroughly
wash and dry the socket and the reser
voir. Remove the old cement, and see
that the plaster is finely powdered
Mix it with water until it becomes the
consistency of thick cream, then line
the socket with it and press the reser-
voir into its place. Remove with 6
knife and rag any plaster that has over
flowed, and let the plaster set thoroughly
before using the lamp.-GoOd House

Soiled and faded black cashmere NAV
be made to look almost as good as new
by washing IN soapsuds, rinsing in water
and then putting in water with so much
bluing in it that it looks black. The
cloth is to lie in this for some time, as
long as over night if it is much faded.
Do not wiring the cloth after taking
from the water, but hang up to dry in
a shady place. If the gown is elab-
orately trimmed, the trimming may bet
ter be ripped off and treated in this
separately. Dark-blue cashmere can
be made to look beautiful if renewed in
this way. For silk cleaning, paper and
a hot iron is the old and best method.
Put brown paper under the grease spot,
on a board, and over the spot place
several sheets of the paper. With a
medium heated iron press firmly on
top and several times renew the sheet
of paper next to the silk on top.
The paper will finally absorb all the
grease. This method is applicable to
any unwashable cloth, except velvet,
plush, etc. Ammonia is favorite
substance for cleaning clothing. The
ammonia should be well diluted with
water-fifteen drops are enough in a
small basin of water. A piece of fan
mel is saturated with this dilution and
rubbed on the grease spot until it is re-
moved; after which that place on the
cloth is sponged off with clear water.
Dry somewhat and iron when damp.
Ammonia water is also recommended
to remove the shiny look from black
coat Int il is not GOOD for much for
this purpose. Strong black coffee, to
which have been added few drops OF
ammonia, is said to be good for cleans
ing black coat that needs thorough
renovating. Good Housekeeping.
