that at the end of 1890 there will be
enough money in the box to found a
bed in the Babies Hospital; but it is
perfectly certain that as the months
go by the contributions will decrease,
until, by January, slang will be eliHi-

French and American Women.
II have often been struck says
Max O'ReIl, with the resemblance
that exists between French and
American women. 1t is the same sub
fiery, the same suppleness of mind,
the same wonderful adaptability.
Place a little French milliner in a
good drawing-room for an hour and
at the end of that time she will be-
have, talk and walk like any lady In
the room. Suppose an American,
married to d woman much below his
status in society, is elected President
of the United States; | believe at the
end of a week this wife of his would
do the honors of the White House
with the Ease and grace of a high-born.
lady.
IN England it is just the contrary.
OF course good society is good society
everywhere. The ladies of the Eng
lish aristocracy are perfect queens,
but the English woman who was not
born a lady will seldom become a
lady. and | believe this is why mesal-
liances are more scarce in England
than in America, and especially in
France. / could name many English
men, standing at the head of their
professions, VINO cannot produce their
wives into society because these
women have not been able to raise
themselves up to the level of their
husbands station in life. In France
the mesalliance, though not reiished
by parents, is not feared so much,
because they know the young woInan
will observe and study, and very soon
fit herself for her new position"
Rinkles in Polishing Glass.
A good material to use in cleaning
glass, says excellent authority on
household matters, is fuller's earth.
This must be reduced to a very fine
powder, entirely freed from any rough
| or hard bits which might damage the
polished surface Of the glass The
earth is put into the vessel to be
washed; warm water is poured upon
it. After it has been we'll shaken, it
is emptied out, cold water being put
to take it's place. This is a good thing
to use for decanters and carafes. both
of which are difficult to clean. An
other good method of cleaning
them is, after having filled
them about two-thirds with warm
mot hot water, to put in
several soaped pieces Of brown or
blotting paper, shake the decanters
we'll, then leave them for an hour or
so. Empty out the soapy water, rinse
several times with clean, cold water.
and invert them in a rack to dry;
when dry, polish the outside with a
leather. The great secret by which
to keep glass clear and bright is to
use plenty of cold water for rinsings,
and always polish with q leather, not
with a cloth. If the insides of the
decanters are covered with crust from
wine, a little muriatic acid should be
added to the water, which should be
left several hours standing in the de-
canters. For cleaning long-necked
decanters, a long-handled bottle brush
must be kept.
Bis Queer Way.
There was a good natured old prince
of Piedmont who, every time he had
occasion to dismiss an unfaithful SER
want, called him into his room and
