To remove stains from silver, especi-
ally such as are caused by medicine or
by neglect, use sulphurio acid, rubbing
1t on with q little flannel pad, then
rinsing the articles most carefully at
once. For less ingrained stains, the
pulp Of a lemon, whose juice has been
used for lemon squash, may be recon-
mended, as both efficient and harm
less. Indian silver and brass is al-
ways cleaned by natives with lemon or
lines. 1t may be as we'll to warn house
keepers in these days, when pretty
serving is such a consideration, that,
where one had to reheat food in q sill
yer dish from which it is impossible tc
shift the eatable, a baking tin should
be half filled with hot water, doubled
sheet Of paper should be placed in this
and the silver dish stood upon it, after
which it will take no harm from the
effects OF the oven heat. Again, as
eggs and vinegar are alike apt to dis
color plated or silver dishes, always
run little weak aspic Jelly over the
silver dish before dishing the mayon-
naise, etc, to be served in it, and if
this coating is allowed to set before
putting in the other materials the dish
will suffer no damage thathot soap and
water will not easily remove.

General Lew Wallace and Rev. DR..
W. II. Hickman, Vice-Chancellor of
pepauw University, have raised a
storm of protests becauseo of highland
cd criticisms of the wheel During
the reception Of a well-drilled COM
mandery at Charlottesville, and while
General Wallace was making the well
coming address, he claimed that the
best appearing men were those who
had received a military training, and
he took occasion to deprecato the use
OF bicycles, saying that the riders
looked more like monkeys than men,
and that bicycling was time wasted. 1t
remained, however, for DIR. Hickman
to come ont fiatfooted in denouncing
the use of bicycles for women. He
declares that it is one of the most
baneful agencies ever invented in so
Gar as it concerns the gentler sex. It
takes the young woman from her home
and home duties; its tendencies are
altogether wrong. He also asserts that
it affords a means of easy escape from
the restrictions of convontionality,
and is harmful from q hygionic stand

Mrs F. A. Steel, the author of "On
the Face of the Waters" says: Our
standard of civilization is personal
comfort-luxury, a thing absolutely
unknown in native India. There is
scarcely any difference in the mode of
living between the rich and the poor.
If you go into the house of a rajah,
there is the same bare floor and only
q simple platter to eat from, such as
is seen in the home Of the poorest. To
put it crudely, there will probably not
be even the luxury Of wash-Oasin
and towel; for the rich man, like his
poor brother, washes in the open and
dries himself in the sun. Such is the
extreme simplicity of life that wealth
is still buried in India; a man may
spend it on jewels for his wife, but act
on pleasure or personal comfort. This
simple life, which fosters no distinc-
tions OF class, has been preserved foI
three thousand years by Indian ciyillz.

' Assistant Chief Alexander Scott of
the division of drafting of the Patent
Office has an interesting list of the
patents granted to women inventors of
Che United States, compiled from 1870
to January l, 1895. Up to that period
there had been issued 531 ,6l8 patents
TO all persons, the number of women
included being surprisingly large. The
articles on which the patents have
been granted comprise everything in
the patentable line, from q curling iron
TO a cooking stove, and from a war
vessel to a handsaw. While many of
the patents are no objects of peculiar
interest to women, many of them are
on scientific machines, objects of war
fare, miners utensils and things which
would be only useful to the male por-
ton Of humanity. OF course, the baby
has not been forgotten, and the articles
patented to make the "mother's Joy"
more comfortable and contented form
a department all to themselves. Col
lar buttons have been invented by
wives, mothers and sweethearts. Evi-
IDENTIFY this was done to ease the mas
culine mind OF prevent the accustomed,
or, at least, accredited, profanity
which is supposed to flow when one of
the buttons becomes detached from O
garment and rolls somewhere out Of
reach or cannot possibly be found ;"
''We have found" said Mr.. Scott to
the Star reporter, ''that the objects
patented by women are Of just as prac-
ticable a nature as those gotten out by
the men. Very often it happens that
men invent an object which is of in
terest exclusively to womankind, as a
new style OF hair fxer, but the reverse
is often the case. It frequently hap
pens that woman will suggest some
thing to her husband, or some male
member of the family, who acts upon
it, taking out the patent and getting
credit fer it, of course, fully with the
consent of the one suggesting the idea.
Any one who thinks that a woman is
incapable of inveAting anything really
useful is making o great mistake, as 9
look over the list of the thousands OIL
objects will testify. Some of the most
important things in use nowadays
have been invented by women anG
brought into general use by them.

Probably three-fourths of the money
that passes over the saloon bar is the
hard-earned wages Of the poor. The
millions of dollars spent each year in
Chicago alone for liquors would bring
plenty and happiness to thousands OF
homes where want and misery now
abound. The money thus wasted
would, if used for provisions, clothing
and fuel, convent this great city into
veritable paradise, and would make it
the sensation of the century. The
thousands of saloons which line our
streets are menace to all that is good.
No genuine prosperity can come to
US as long as we encourage and protect
men in dealing out the damnable
beverages to the toiling masses. The
poor dupe who guzzles down beer and
whisky ought to be protected from
this terrible temptation and his family
permitted to enjoy the legitimate bene-
fits of his wages.
