To remove stairs frorl silver, espe-
cially such as are caused by medicine
or neglect, use sulphuric acid, rub
bling it on with little flannel pad, then
rinsing the articles most carefully at
once. For less ingrained stains, the
pulp of lemon whose Juice has been
used for lemon squash, may be rec
commended as both efficient and harm
less. Indian silver and brass is always
cleaned by natives with lemon or lines.
1t may be as well to warn housekeep-
ers in these days, when pretty serving
is such a consideration, that, where
you have to reheat dish in a silver dish
from which it is impossible to shift
the edible, you should half fill a baking
tin with hot water, then lay a double
sheet of paper in this, and then stand
the silver dish on this, after which ii
will take no harm from the effects of the
oven heat.
As eggs and vinegar are alike apt to
discolor plated or silver dishes, always
run little weak aspic jelly over the
silver dish before dishing the mayor
naise, ETC., to be served in it, and if this
coating is allowed to set before putting
in the other materials the dish will suf-
fer no damage that hot soap and water
will not easily remove.

HANDLING MONEY ISN'T so SLICK

Representative j. ii. Walker of Massa-
chusetts, chairman of the house commit
tee on banking and currency, entertains
very simple and bucolic conception of
the way In which banking business Is
transacted In New York. Commenting
upon that part Of President Mckinley's
message which relates to the locking up
of redeemed government notes. he says
1.-THE recommendation that gre3nbacks
be not paid out except for gold when only

greenbacks demanding gold OF the treas

not consluer that, even II million In
green backs could be had from any bank

grains Co the pound. makes 3ii4 pounds
avoirdupois or nearly two tons. To
count in the greentocks and then 20
count out the gold for IL, Is an operation
which requires much time and labor and
the treasury officials, IL they were so dis
posed, could easily make it consume the
best part OF day. To repeat IL 346 times
might require nearly year.
Supposing, however the gold absorb
ing operator and his confederate foreign
broker to persevere for year In their
nelarious efforts to depete the treasury,
they would have to find storage some.
