Monday evening Charles Chase, a
brakeman on the n. & w. Railroad,
was running string Of cars on to the

went crashing down through the trees
into the water hundred feet below,
but Charley saved his own bacon.

Pointers on Cleaning Pain i.

Housekeepers who want to learn all
about keeping paint clean should take a
few lessons from the deck hands of the
steamboats, that ply the riv1rs and bay.
A Mail and Express man remarked the
clean white of the cabin woodwork on
his way to Coney Island the other day
and was surprised to learn that the
painter had not been near the boat for a
year. The woodwork really looked as
if he had but just finished going over it.,
for besides being clean and white, it had
a beautiful polish as we'll People are
al alike" said the steward. in answer to
the look of wonder expressed on the
scribe's face. "Ihey generally think
a boat has just been pGnted up for the
season when it has only been washed
and rubbed up by the crew between
meals, as it were. Paint will last five
years and even longer if properly
cleaned, and its polish can be retained
through the entire period. Take this
boat, for instance. When she came out
of the basin the woodwork was dirty,
almost black, and was so covered with
SCOT and smoke that the nail heads stood
out prominently. A sponge, pure Cas-
tile soap and smooth cloth for rubbing
after the dirt has been washed off with
the sponge, brought about the transfer
nation and made the paint what you
now see it. Chemicals, dirt eradicators
and such things are never used either or
river or ocean steamers, and 1t is claimed
that nowhere in the world is the beauty
of painted woodwork mole thoroughly
shown."-EX.
