CHAPTER ON GLoVEs.


Constant Care rs Rewarded by Long
Wear,
As the after wear of gloves depends
much on the way they are treated from
the very beginning, new gloves should
be put on most carefully. Those who
know say that you should never put ON
gloves when you are in a hurry and just
going out; rather choose another time,
when your hands are cool and you have
| 10 minutes or so to devote to them.
Before beginning operations dust little
powder into each glove, for this will
cause them 20 slip on more easily. Work
the fingers well on before putting in the
thumb; then work that in slowly, grad
ually smoothing the kid on to the hand.
When the glove is carefully put on, pull
it well down and button the second
button, and any others that there are,
with the exception of the first. Leave
this first button until the last. Ii the
hands are hot, remove the gloves and
then turn them inside out, pulling them
carefully into shape and leaving them
in the air for an hour or two, before
putting them away.
In the preparation of new gloves for
wear glove-stretcher will be found of
the greatest assistance. This, however,
must be used with discretion, for a
glove that is too large is quite as annoy
ing as one that is too small. II is we'll
in buying gloves to provide yourself
with IA spool OF meDding silk or linen
exactly the color of the gloves. To
clean gloves is not always easy. The
gloves should not be allowed to become
almost black with soil before beginning
the cleaning process. All light gloves
especially white ones-can be cleaned in
benzinc or naptha. Wet one glove at a
time, Of course. Dip into basin con
| tanning about cuptul of the benzinc,
and shake it and squeeze until some of
the dirt is washed out. Then lay the
glove on clean towel or piece of mus.
lin, and with muslin rag rub from the
wrist to the finger tips. When the
| glove is still moist pull gently on the
hand and rub again with rag moist
ened in benzne, cleaning the finger tips,
thumb and palm well. Remember that
if you want your gloves to look at all
well you must always rub one way,
! from the wrist up toward the fingers
Repeat the same process with the second
glove, and place the pair in the open air
for an hour or more, letting them rest on
u clean towel, When they are thoroughly
aired, lay them away in violet or hello
trope orris, and your gloves, when you
are ready To wear them, will look like
new and will smell far sweetcr than
when they were purchased

The Bedouin Sentry and the WANDERING
Isngiishman.
During the progress of the search ex-
petition in the Sinaitic desert for Pro-
fessor u. IL. Palmer, who, with his two
English companions, was basely MUIR
| dered by native tribes, strict watch
was kept about the camp at night to
avoid, surprise from the treacherous
Arabs. The search party consisted of
three Englishmen and their escort, com
posed mainly Of Bedouins. Tho author
of MAN Hunting in the Desert" relates
an incident connected with the night
guard.
One of our number, being little in
clined to sleep, strayed somewhat away
from the camp into the moonlight,
when he was suddenly approached by
ono of the Bedouin sentries, who, bring
ing his Remington rifle TO his shoulder,
presented the muzZlc ut our friend, and
shouted some challenge in Arabic.
The victim of this display Of vigilance
graspcd the situation and at once re-
allied his danger. Not word of Arabic
could he recall, and the fellow was
liable to shoot the next instant.
Here, you fellowl Don't be fool !
Don't shoot y the Englishman shouted
The Bedouin understood not word
Of this, but remained motionless, finger
to trigger, the moon plainly revealing
the precision of his aim.
The situation was awkward; our
friend felt anything but comfortable as
he stood facing that ugly-looking muz-
zle, not daring to retreat or advance.
Racking his brain for an Arabic word,
at last succeeded in producing the
sentence:
ANA Inclize"-in pigeon Arabic.
"Me Englishman."
To his infinite relief, the guard lowered
his rifle with the ejaculation, "Wahad
kawadja," which our friend construed
as permit to pass on,

The business Of window.cleaning has
increased so much that there are now

irregular trade. The concerns engaged in
this business make contracts for year

The windows cleaned are mostly

there arc some huuseholders who have
their windows cleaned by regular

lishment has upon its lists eleven private
houses; it takes none for less than SIS a

up to $25 a month. Prices, of course,
depend upon the number OF windows

charge is $35 month; Cor one Broad

House Furnishing Review.
Shining your shoes by machinery is
one Of the ncwestschemes Of an ingenious
inventor. 1t is boot backing machine,
consisting of an applying brush, a
polishing brush, fluid receptacle and a
blacking receptacle, so placed upon a
stand that, by the movement of a lever,
the small circular brush takes up the
backing and moistens and distributes il
over the shoe; then the circular brush
comes along aud polshcs the shoe before

clever continuance fills the usual "long

his own shoes in the seclusion of his
chamber, but it is doubtful whether it
will be fully appreciated by the timer

however, the new boot-hacklng ma
