tie folks will not permit the recital OF
horrible or exciting stories In the nurs-
cry. Bedtime stories should be vague
caressing, fragile things. This theory
Is carried out In later life by gentle
people. who read poem, one Of the i'm
mortal songs Of David or some hymn tc
nature, to compose the mind to rest. II
may take less than five minutes, but II
Is solace to the brain; 1t Gains the

Household Hints.

Nothing will give such q polish to
glass, even the finest, as slightly moist
newspaper to give the finishing touches.
Tumblers or goblets in which milk has
been served should be rinsed with cold
water before being washed, otherwise
they will look cloudy: a few drops of
ammonia in the hot water will give the
glass a bright lustre.
Steel knives or other articles which
have become rusty should be rubbed
with a little sweet oil. then left for a
day or two in a dry place, and then
rubbed with finely powdered. unslacked
lime until every vestige Of the rust has
disappeared, and kept In a dry place
wrapped UP in a bit Of flannel.
