CLEANING KNIVES.
Directions for Making Good Knife

Directions for Making n Good Knife
Rosrd Mt Home.
The steel knife is universally recog-
nized as the very best table knife. The
silver-plate knife is more convenient
to use, as it requires less cleaning, but
the edge is not as keen and it is not as
useful as the pure steel knife. Bath
brick or emory powder with sweet oil
is still considered the best material for
cleaning knives. A homemade knife
board with hinge Is a great conven-
ience in a family. To make such
cleaner, take two pieces of board
about ten inches long and four inches
across, and about an inch thick.
Stretch chamois leather across one side
of each board, tacking it down with
nails around the edges. Unite these
two boards by two hinges, so that the
leather covers come on the inside, ap-
ply the powdered bath brick and sweet
oil or tho emory and sweet oil to one
of the leather sides. Put the knives
inside one by one and move them up
and down as in rubbing to clean them,
turning them over as one side is pol
lished. A number of knives may be
cleaned in short time by this method.
A simple board covered with chamois
leather and large cork will accom-
plish the same result, but it will re-
quire much more time, and the hinged
board once made will last for all time

at work, to fetch kettle of tea from
the tent, without the least misgiving
as to my reception by him.
REX" who was always allowed to
run loose, came forward to meet me-
He allowed me to stroke his head, and,
so far as / could see, showed no inter-
est in my movements as l entered the
tent and took drink of the tea. But
when | started to leave the tent, with
the kettle in my hand, imagine my as
tonishment when l saw the supposed
friend Rex facing me, and showing his
teeth in very threatening way. put
down the kettle, seated myself on tho
edge of the campbell, and spoke to
him. He wagged his tail and looked
so friendly that thought must have
made mistake about his intentions.
Not at all. The moment l attempted
to leave the tent with the kettle, had
reason to know that Rex's broad grin
was no mere notion, but, on the con-
trary, a real sign that he was true to
his trust as he understood it.
talked to him again, set down the
kettle, and attempted to leave without
it. Still Rex objected. He had his
doubts, and determined to give his
masters the benefit of them. There
was no help for it, was held prisoner,
and could do nothing but sit down and
wait patiently for one of the party to
come to my relief. No one came until
nearly an hour later, by which time
my long absence had caused my friends
to suspect that was being held pris-
oner by Rex. bore the dog no grudge

QUEER BOOKKEEPING.
Tho Primitive, But Accurate. Method OF
a Dakota Landlord.

The Primitive, But Accurate. Method OF
Dakota Landlord.
There are more ways of keeping ac-
counts than that which prevails in
business, and which needs ledgers,
cash books and single and double en-
try.
Sometimes, in little country stores,
the proprietors of which know nothing
about bookkeeping, and probably just
as much about figures, the accounts of
customers are kept as correctly as they
could be by graduate of a business
college.
An old resident of Dakota recently
told story illustrative of this primi
tive, but accurate, method of book
keeping.
There used" he said, ''to be man
in Yanllton whose system of keeping
accounts was wonderfully efficient.
He kept hotel, and he could neither
read nor write. He did not know how
to spell his own name, but he did
thriving business, and collected every
dollar OF his accounts.
"Once, years ago, when l first came
to this country, ! went to his hotel
and stopped there two weeks. When
left he presented me with a state
ment of what owed him, and it was
curiosity. He had copied it from his
ledger. At the top of the sheet there
was the rude picture of soldier on
the march, and after it three straight
marks. Then there was scene show
ing a man at table eating. Then ap-
peared bed with man in it. In the
amount column there was picture of
a doll and after it the two letters r S.
After the picture of the man eating
there were forty-two marks. After
the view of the man in bed there were
| fourteen marks I looked at the ac-
count, then at the proprietor, and told
him it would take me "a week to an
| swer the conundrum. I was complete
| ly stumped, and when that hotel man
| deciphered the account for me it was
| this:
| THE picture of the soldier walking
meant March, and the three marks
supplied the date, March 3, when be-
gan boarding. The man at the table
with forty-two marks indicated that
had eaten forty-two meals. The man
in bed with fourteen marks showed
that had slept in the house fourteen
nights. The doll with RS after it
meant dollars and in the figure col
umns appeared the figures IA, which
was the amount l owed him. And it
| was 81 true bill"

Comfor. from tho Conductor.

The train had stopped at a station
and several men had alighted, as was
their custom, to stretch their legs OH
the platform, and when it started
again one of the men, who had strayed
little too far off, was left behind.
In minute or two there was q loud
scream and n woman rushed up to the
conductor and exclaimed excitedly;
"You left my husband behind at that
last stationl"
"Never mind, madam" replied the
official; calm yourself. We shall be
at Chicago in three hours and then you
can get another husband. Judge.

''I'm going to bring one of my meal

heard an anxious paterfamilias say,
little while ago, when he found two
small, fat, bare legs in the ascendancy
again, after many, many attempts to
keep them under the bedclothes. Well,
it wouldn't be bad idea-only the
meal-bag might be made of soft,
pretty outing flannel, like the one in
the illustration, and there might be

Most of the mothers in those parts of
the world that have cold nights know
what it is to be walked suddenly out of
a sound sleep by n terrible dread lest
the baby may have thrown off the
clothes again and caught severe cold,
and most of us know the anxious real
ization of our dread when we have
stumbled our sleepy way over to the
little bed 1t is not only the baby, but
his little brothers and sisters too, who
give us the same anxiety, night after

The st, Louis Humorist says

should be ninety-fve per cent back
bone? Sam evidently does not
consider himself an ideal man else

preferred next to money it is cheek
