Useful Hint for the Careful House

A Useful Hint for the Careful House
wife.
TO clean porcelains, the best plan is
to use soft soap. with an old tooth
brush. Should they be very dirty, a
little vitriol and water may be used,
but not on those decorated over the
glaze. The edges of a piece that has
been broken and badly mended require
the greatest care in cleaning, for, if
not thoroughly cleaned, they can not
be made to properly adhere to one an
other. In this sort of work it is well
to proceed in order with a first wash
ing in soap and water, then one in
vitriol and water, lastly a washing
with alcohol. Whatever dirt, glue,
grease, etc, may still remain must be
removed by careful scratching with a
penknife.
To repair a piece of pottery or por-
celain. after it has been well cleaned,
is often a delicate task. When all the
fragments have been saved, and when
the piece is of small size, it is possible
to succeed by simply sticking them to-
gether with a little silicate of potash
alone, or mixed with powdered plaster
of Paris The silicate can be had at
any druggists. But sometimes piece
is missing, and its place has TO be filled
with plaster of Paris. Again, the sill
cate takes at least twelve hours to set
hard. and, meanwhile, it is often nee
essary that the piece be supported in
order that it may not become detached.
1t is sometimes, in the case OF "a very
valuable specimen, better to replace a
fragment that has been lost, or has
been broken IN pieces too small TO be
reset. with an artistic mounting in
metal.-Art Amateur.

strikers were picked up dead in the
road after the shooting and about Il
half dozen wounded and were carried
away by their comrades. There are
reports that six men were killed and
sixteen wounded. The plant is so far
back, near Perryopolis that the ac-
