Very startling was the mistake by n
Queen OF Denmark during her visit TO
the Danish colony OF Iceland, whore
the good old bishop exerted himself to
the utmost TO show her everything that
was worth seeing. Tho queen paid
many compliments TO her host, and
having learned that he was n family
man, graciously inquired how many
children he had. Now IL happened
that the Danish word for children
is almost identical in sound with tho
Icelandic word for 'sheep;" so that tho
worthy bishop-whose knowledge OF
Danish was not so complete as IL might
have been--understood her majesty TO
ask how many sheep he owned, and he
answered 1.-TWO hundred Two hun

astounded. How can you possibly

dry-streaked no matter how much one
rubs. The painters brush is the best
article for this purpose, then wash all
the woodwork before the glass is
touched. To cleanse the glass simply
use warm water diluted with ammonia;
don't use soap. A small stick will get
the dust out of tho corners. then wipe
dry with a piece OF cloth--do rot use
linen, as the lint sticks TO the glass.
The best way to polish Is with tissue
paper or newspaper. To clean win

than when soap Is used.
