HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
CLEANING WINDOWS.

Cleaning windows is an important part
of the work in the routine of housekeep-
ing, and while it does not seem diff
cult task to keep the glass clear and
bright it nevertheless requires knowl-
edge of what not to do. Never wash
windows when the sun is shining upon
them, otherwise they will be cloudy and
streaky from drying before they are well
polished off; and never wash the out
side of the window first if you wish to
save trouble. Dust the glass and sash
and wash the window inside, using Q
little ammonia in the water; wipe with q
cloth free from lint and polish off with
soft paper. For the corners small
bush or pointed stick covered with one
esd of the cloth is useful. When you
come to the glass outside the defects
remaining will be more closely seen.
Wipe the panes as soon as possible after
washing aud rinsing and polish with
either chamois or soft paper. In rims
ing one may dash the water on the out
side or use large sponge. 1t is prefer
able to a cloth. -Neao York World.

Formulation Of Germany.

The figures of the census taken in
Germany last December have been pub
lished, and are regarded with satisfaction
by the Germans, for they show that Ger
many grows more rapidly than any other
European state, except Russia. The
population last December was 49, 420,
900, as against 46.8S5, ,704 in 1885,
showing gam of 2,565, ,096 in the five
years and the largest gain in any five
years since the establishment of the en-
pire. In 1871 the population was A.
0S5, 1872. In the next five years it in
cresed !, 1,65S,568 From 1875 to 1880
tie gain was 2.506,701, but from 1880
to 1885 it decreased to 1921 ,643-a
period during which immigration to this
country was very heavy. AS to the
character of the increase, the same rule
holds good as in this country. The bulk
of it was in the cities. Ten per cent OF
it was in Berlin and more than one-hal
of it in the ten largest cities of the EN-
pire. AS compared with European coun-
tries, Germany in the last ten years has
grown about 4 1000, 900, Austria less tina n
100000, the British Islands is esti-
mated about $4,000 Italy about g.
750, 900, and France less than 1000, 900
probably much less. The huge en-
pire of Russia shows gain during the
same period of nearly Is, 900, 900, which
can be accounted for in part by the COM
paratively small outflow of immigrants.
Thus with the exception of the latter
country, Germany heads the list.-Re-

A Soldiers Savings.

The wages of private soldiers in the
army is not more than $11 or $13
month and rations. 1t does not seem
easy for sol1ier to become rich, but
they can save something. According to
the Omaha Bee, Colonel Stanton, Pay
master of the Department of the Platte,
recently paid soldier $104S.S9 as the
savings of five years enlistment. Said
that officer: IL have paid quite a num-
Der of men amounts ranging all the way
from $500 to $4,000. Tho largest sum
ever knew soldier to have deposited
with the United States when he was
finally paid off was $5012.45. That man
was hospital steward at Fort Meade.
He had served several terms of enlist
ment, and had not only saved what
money the Government paid him, but he
had made some more by lending. When
paid him the S5012.45 he Immediately
re enlisted for five years more, and de-
posted the entire amount again with
the United States. Soldiers are just like
men in every other occupation. Some of
them save money and others do not
They could all save money if they
would"

CARE OF cHINAwARE.

4 One Of the most important things is to
season glass and china to sudden change
of temperature, so that they will remain
sound after exposure to sudden heat and
cold. This is best done by placing the
articles in cold water, which must gradu-
ally be brought to the boiling point and
then allowed to cool very slowly, taking
several hours to do it. The more COM
mon the materials the more care in this
respect is required. All china that has
any gliding upon it may on no account be
rubbed with a cloth of any kind, but
merely rinsed first in hot and afterward
in cold water and left to drain till dry.
1t may be rubbed with soft wash leather
and little dry whiting, but this opera
tion must not be repeated more than once
year, otherwise the gold will most GER
tainly be rubbed of and the china
spoiled. When the plates, etc., are put
away in the china closet pieces of paper
should be placed between them TO pre-
vent scratches on the glaze or painting,
as the bottom of all ware has little par
ticles of sand adhering to it, picked up
from the oven wherein it was glazed.
The china closet should be IN dry Sltua-
ton, as damp closet will soon tarnish
the gliding of the best crockery. In a
common dinner service it is great evil
to make the plates too hot, as it invarl.
ably cracks the glaze on the surface, if
not the plate itself. The fact is when
the glaze is injured every time the
'things" are washed the water gets to
the interior, swells the porous clay and
makes the whole fabric rotten. In this
condition they will also absorb grease,
and when exposed to further heat the
grease makes the dishes brown and dis
colored. If an old, i'll used dish be made
very hot indeed teaspoonful of fat will
be seen to exude from the minute assures
upon its surface. These latter remarks
apply more particularly to common wares.

"a Snail's Pace" :"

ga snail's pace" need not be used
any longer as term more or less in
definite. By an interesting experiment
at the Florence Polytechnic Institute q
few days ago the pace was acertained ex-
actly aud reduced to figures, which may
now be used by persons who favor the
use of the exact terms. A half dozen
of the mollusks were permitted to crawl
between two points ten feet apart, and
from this the average pace was ascer-
tanned. In working the calculation into
feet. yards, rods, furlongs and miles it
was found that it would take small
snail exactly fourteen days to crawl a
mile.-St. Louis Republic.

Much sympathy has been wasted upon

grades. He can suit all tastes We were

and from that price up to the best grades
of double and single harness. Ia saddles,
he has catered to the taste of all. He

as the best that can be found in the State.
In addition to these goods, we found q
full line of trunks, satchels, whips, dus-
ters, collars, buggy cushions, harness oils,
soaps, brides, heavy harness, collar pads,
halters, blankets, nets, brushes, and
everything in his line Of trade. Parties
