The following can be used by merchants
and others at this season with benefit: Both
moisture and frost may be prevented for n
time by putting slight film of glycerine over
the inside of the pane. Glycerine has great
avidity for moisture, and will absorb quite a
quantity before it is saturated and begins to
run. 1t will require renewal, for the reason
that it also takes up great deal of dust.
In order to clean show cases use the fol-
lowing: Cleanse the surface the glass with
Il cotton wad, and then rub the glass briskly
with cotton velvet charged with jeweler' 5
rouge. This will both remove the scratches
and give fine polish.

amid the jinging of bells, informed us that
he was about to call upon us. and greatly to
the little folks delight he entered the school
room and took his position on the platform
! in the presence of all amid shouts OF laugh
| ter. The roll was then called by the teacher
and forty -four pupils, ranging from six years,
| to tall maidens and youths, stepped forward
and Santa Claus presented each package OF
/ choice confectionery from their teacher
/ which all appeared to appreciate very much.
/ The teacher was also the recipient of a hand
some present which was delivered at her
residence the following morning by the pu-

pleased with the exercises, and the occasion
will be long remembered by all who were
