Glass Globes.

The breaking of glass globes is very RE-
qucnt, as all housekeepors know. Their
durability may DO greatly increased If they
arc tempered beforehand, This is done by
putting them in large pan and covering
chem with cold water The pan is then
set on tho range until the water boils
When that occurs, it is removed from tho
fire, and the globes arc allowed TO remain
in the water until it is perfectly cold
ngain, This is u common treatment for

And direct your tune and time.

So stick to Yankee DOODLE

Russell, The Herald correspondent with
the troops, has been selected as a men,

duties. He sent back a quill pen which
was used by Queen LiliOukalani in her
official capacity, which was presented
TO him by the minister of finance in

were shown every courtesy by the peo-
pie of the Hawaiian republic. The boys
have nothing but words of praise TO
send back 4Ur the women of the Red
Cross, both here and in San Fran
cisco.
Information from the battery recruits
at the Preside relates that the Utah
boys are doing well, getting sunburned
and happy. Canvas uniforms have
been distributed, and the sight of An
gus Nicholson, formerly of The Herald
paradinS around in a robe of brown,
with brass buttons, is said to be an
inspiring one.
A communication from one of the
boys relates that all is well, except the
cook. 1t is said he received his educa-
ton in a tannery. However the men
are breaking him in gently and believe
he will reform later. He was sus-
pected of having formed an alliance
with an undertaken and promptly ac-

ment.
