CARE OF GLASSWARE.
How TO Wash Table Glass, Mirrors and
Glass Over Pictures.

How TO Wash Table Glass, Mirrors and
Glass over Pictures.
Since 1t Is the fashion to use great
deal of glass on the table, tho caro OF 1t
is a matter OF some Importance TO the
housekeeper. Cut glass comes in all
sorts of shapes and patterns, from the
simplest to the most elaborate conceiva-
BILE, and the designs are cleverly imita-
ted in pressed glass; in some cases so
perfectly as to deceive one at the first
glance.
Cut glass is valued according to the
depth OF tho cutting, so that for tho
finest kinds OF ware tho glass must bo
made thick. The thicker 1t is and tho
deeper the cutting the more easily Will
breaks occur; therefore, for common uso
such kinds us thin and only slightly cut
arc by far the bost
In buying pressed glass it is better to
select clear kind of good shape than an
imitation of fine piece. The plain
glass can DO kept clean more easily and
will not break SO readily as the imita-
tion.
II glass is scratched by any hard
substance, such as sand nails, etc,
1t will break very easily where the mark
is. For this reason it Is we'll to have a
small wooden tub to use only for wash
ing glass and silver. Extremes in tenn
peraturo frequently crack or break glass
ware.
To wash table glass mako a strong
suds, having tho water no hotter than
you can put your hand in comfortably.
Have another pan OF clear water oil
about the same temperature. Put Few
pieces OF the glass in the suds and wash
each ono carefully with a soft cloth;
then rinse all in the clear water and
drain for few seconds, though not long
enough for the articles to cool or dry.
Now wipe them with dry linen towel,
rubbing rather hard, to give tho glass
polish. Be especially particular not to
let tho hands touch the glass at this
stage. Should the glass be cut, or imi-
tation of cut, IL should be rubbed, while
in the suds. with soft brush. If this
rule be followed daily tho glass will all
ways be brillianS repaying ono hun
dred fold for the extra labor.
Whom it comos to washing mirrors
and the glass over pictures, wipe the
frames and glass with dry cloth, re-
moving all tho dust. Now dip soft,
clean cloth in hot water, and after
wringing IL, pour upon it tablespoon
| full Of alcohol. Wipe the glass with this
cloth and rub with dry piece until tho
surface shows u polish and Is free from
lint. By adopting this rule, the glass
will DO mado clean and bright, and
wooden or gilt frames will not be dam-
aged, as they often are whom soap and
water are used. Housewife.

Prince bismarck Could 30 Very Small

Tho following story OF Bismarck Is
told in recent number Of tho London
Speaker. "A German gentleman OF
famous name, Of ample fortune, member
OF Parliament, connected with the best
people Of his country by social as we'll
us family tics, conspicuous by reason Of
his philanthropy, hospitality and charm
OF his family gatherings, lived not many
miles from Berlin when tho Kingdom OF
Prussia became the Empire OF Germany.
No man at this time was more welcome

as that OF his sovereign than this Mr..
X. In those days bismarck stood for
national greatness rs represented by
tho defeat OF Franco and tho uniflcatlon
OF Germany, and in his task no stanchor
ally OF the Government could be wished
than tho Liberal party, OF which Mr..
X. was an honored leader. Littlo by
little. howeyor, men like Mr.. X began
TO fool that Germany even without q
bismarck was bettcr than Germany with

that bismarck looked upon such as DIFF

Mr.. X. had chosen TO vote against a
Government measure intended TO raise

but without success. Mr.. X. recognized
perfectly that his course made social

The Disease Usually Due to n Torpid Con-
