but the sturdy Scots soon convinced
him that such a proceeding would be
an infringement upon their rights,

MENpLNa AND wAsHrxn GLASS.

If you have dish of cut glass that
Is cracked or broken not too seriously,
1t can be mcnded by taking it to one
who makes a specially of such work.
Fine pieces of cut glass are so heavy
that they cannot be cemented and be
OF any use but put together with
silver rivets, they are again serviceable.
The work is valued according to the
number of rivets used, about thirty
five cents being the charge for one.
Thegreatest care is needed in handling
such glass, as in spite of its thickness
1t is as easily broken as thin glass. 1t
Is a good plan to wash both glass and
china in wooden or paper tub. In
washing the glass avoid extremes of
heat or cold in the water used, and use
q soft brush in all ereYices. Very
little soap should be used on either
gilded glass or china, and that of the
purest kind, as even the best of gilt,
which is costly, is injured by soap.
Beware of low-priced dishes of any
kind that are rich with gliding. A
handsome looking set of white and
gold glasses that were considered
bargain, parted with their gold in a

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.
TO REMOVE FRUIT STAYS.

Fruit stains as well as ink stains
can generally be removed frcm the
fingers and from textile fabrics by the
liberal use of hot water alone. Hot
water Is one Of the best solvents, and
when the hands are stained with fruit
or nuts soaking and rubbing them in
pure hot water will take away most Of
the stain, and subsequent use of soap
and bit Of pumice will remove the
rest. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
