The Care of Cut Glass.

Glass ware will last longer and look
better if the following hints as to its
care and preservation are regarded.
Tepid water, pure soap and q stiff
brush are the first essentials. After
washing and rinsing, place the cut
glass in lockwood sawdust. This will
absorb the moisture in the cuttings.
Next remove the sawdust from the
plain surfaces with soft cloth. BY
following these direction the original
clearness and sparkles OF the glass
will be maintained.
Shot should not be used in carafes,
cruets, toilet articles and similar ar
ticles. 1t is very apt to scratch the
glass and thus mar its beauty. Pro-
sale potato peelings are the best aids.
Let them remain in the glass ware
over night and then rinse out with q
little tepid water.
A very important point is to avoid
sudden changes from extreme heat to
extreme cold, and vice versa. A

A Men-Grounred Fcnr.

The Washington correspondent of
the Boston Journal notes the fear of
the War Department officials that it
would be impossible TO raise such an
other army in the near future. The
fear is we'll founded. The danger that
men would refuse to enlist is increased
by the adoption of the Hanna policy
of whitewash.
There is still time to remove this dan
ger. The country is we'll aware that
whenever a scandal has reached GER
tain proportions an investigation is a
matter of course-to vindicate the
honor of those against whom false
charges are made, to expose those who
are guilty of crimes that shock the
people. In this instance the scandals
transcend anything in the history of
the nation. both as to magnitude and
gravity.
If the scandals were but the creation
OF sensational newspapers; if the medi-
cal, the commissary, and the quarter
masters departments were guiltless of
appalling fncompetency and criminal
neglect, 1t would be very easy thing
TO establish the truth. If this were
done, there would be an end of the
scandals.

Humane Harmonicons.

Mr.. Kelley, of Philadelphia, has dis
covered a new fact in humaD exis .

Some people are of the opinion that
what Solomon did not know was not
real knowledge.
Mr. Kelley has found that each indi-
vidual has a certain key or tone which
must harmoniZe with the keys of those
about him in order to secure mutual
happiness. Some keys are more de-
sirable than others. A man whose key
is pitched in c is amiable, and d is also
good key, but man who is keyed UP
to A is fretful. and one in B is timid.
For some reason or other, this seems
a very plausible theory. There are

kind. The music continues to play as

other hand, there are people whose
natures seem to chime in with every

natures that were before discordant.
1t would be pleasant to know what
key these persons strike, and try to
get ones self tuned to the same pitch.
This theory also suggests the reason
why some music is positively immoral.
There are certain tunes which excite in
the listener either an inane delight
which verges on idiocy. or frantic de-
sire to do murder. Doubtless this IS
because with the one nature these
tunes produce harmony, and with the
other discord. Every reader of aver

Madrid's Latest REQUEST

should request America to send war

Perhaps the extraordinary conditions
of the surrender of Manila warrant
this. The exact meaning of the terms

ceiving full rations from the Ameri-
cans-and the insurgents control the
suburbs is hardly more clear than the

All that is evident is that Spain re-

and protect the Spanish residents from
the vengeance of the people they have
oppressed and driven to desperation.
For 1t is well known that more vim

rienced, for when the severe form takes
possession of a person it is a terrible dis

death. This severe form. usually called
