The producer should help consume.

How Reuben and I Came to Have
Our First Falling Out.

Reuben and had been in our own
little home only a month. We had

who were anxious to see their chill.

Patience called the clearinghouse

rooms together, full of delighted sur

comfortable articles Of furniture. and
Reuben was whispering of the great
happiness in store for US in the new
home. when suddenly was flashed
across my mind the words of Aunt
Patience. whispered to me on my mar

travelling garments. We were walk

may lead to falling out. as if there
could possibly be a falling out between

Now think of it. l believe that if
had been as lovingly watchful as my
husband, there could not have hap
pened what did happen.
The housekeeping worked along very
smoothly. l said so to my mother, who
came to spend week with us after we
had been married month. and she
answered: Yes, my dear. every thing
is new now. all the trouble comes when
things begin to seem old; you have q
new house, new furnishing, a new and
competent girl in the kitchen. and
then. my dear. your married life is
new; when, as said. all these begin to
grow old. then comes the trial of love
and patience!"
But, mother" l answered, s.if
thought that our love could ever grow
old. l should wish to die before that
happened.

s'but it takes watchfulness to keep it
youthful and fresh, SO many make a
mistake here and imagine that it will

carsless in trying to take care of it,
But love that you have got to
watch all the time isn't the kind that
is desirable, it seems to me. mother.
Ours is the kind that win take care of

Nothing more was said between US

about the conversation. and We laughed

How to Polish Steel.

Small steel and iron articles in the
house are very difficult to keep bright
They easily become oxidized and al
ways want continual polishing. One
way, and a very simple one. is to pickle
them. First of all plunge the articles
into a boiling solution of caustic soda
or potash for a few minutes. This re-
moves all the greasy matter on them.
Then place them in a weak pickle Of
sulphuric acid. mixing about half q
pound Of acid to a gallon of water.
Let them remain in this pickle for
about half an hour. This will loosen
the scale. Then rinse the articles and
afterward dip them, by means of a
perforated stoneware basket. into q
strong solution of nitric acid. Only
let them remain in this acid for an in
slant and the black oxide will be i'm.
mediately removed. After removing
the basket from the nitric acid plunge
it into cold water. The articles can
then be coppered. silvered or gilded
very easily or Left bright-N r Hall
