HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Some registers have way OF refusing
to shut tightly. Almost every house has
one that is stiff in the joints, or which
has lost the wheel, or knob. or bar that
used TO close ii. When the furnace is
shaken the dust rises through the gaping
seams; when you would turn off the heat
in sleeping room or throw it from one
of . I, h..
baftled. Make a wadded square, just the
size of the delinquent cover, of carpeting
or other heavy material; tack stout loops
to the corners. and when you would ex-
clude cinder dust and hot air fasten these
loops 10 hooks or brass buttons fixed in
the wall or floor surrounding the register

beauty; or Il very soft piece of newspaper
can be used to polish glass. Wet the
piece OF newspaper slightly and gently rub
the glas. Be careful not to give the fral
thing a twist in rubbing it--that is, carry
ing one hand in an opposite direction
from the other, which is the quickest way
to break anything. After that repeat the
work with some dry, soft paper 1t is
said that the printers ink causes news

brilliant.
If fine cut-glass water bottles get dingy
inside rinse them OCCASIONALLY with a little
muriatic acid and then rinse in clear. cold
water very thoroughly. Muriatic acid will
remove stains and impurities, and greatly
improve the brlliancy of the glass. But
ashes, sand or shot, which many use to
cleanse glass, scratch and injure the
glass and do not bring back the original
lustre. Besides. the lead in shot Is poison

THE SUPREME MOMENT:
'Do you know what is the most su.
premely joyful moment of Il woman's llfe?"
when he asks her began the senti-
mental girl.
"Rubblsh' This one was prosaic. 'Its
when she gets u silk dress or something
of the sort at an incredible bargain--less
than half price, maybe-and every one
said to her, You extravagant thingr"
'lts when she contrasts her state with
that of her friend who got married." No
need to Introduce this girl as "a cynic.
Nowhere near it"' declared she who
had first spoken. ITS when She's per-
fectly certain her hat Is askew or her hair
looking like that Of a wild woman of the
woods. and has been worrying about It
for hours, and then u sudden glimpse In u
mirror shows her that she's looking pre-
sentable. If not positively stylish. Now,
isn't it?'
Maybe 1t IS" admitted the three.--Foot-
