CLEANSING OF JEWELRY.
Some Good Points which Will Keep
the Trinkets Bright and
in Order.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Gold jewelry may be cleaned by wash
ing it in a lather Of warm soapsuds, to
which few drops of sal-volatile have
been added. This imparts brilliance. and
the articles should then be dried with a
soft cloth and rubbed with a chamos
leather.
Silver jewelry should also be washed IN
q little warm, soapy water. 1t may then
be polished with a very little Of the best
whiting or hartshorn powder. and finished
off with q soft leather. Maltese silver or
naments of filigree work do not require
a powder to be used; they should be
water, dried carefully and rubbed with a
soft leather.
After gold jewelry has been cleaned. it
should be placed in bag of boxwood saw
dust, to be procured from a jewelers.; shake
and rub the ornaments thoroughly in the
dust, and they will look beautifully bright
and clean when taken out. Chains and
necklets may be treated IN this way. r,,o,

sible. Turquoises must not be washed.

fall from their setting. Coral may be
washed with soap and water. Jet must be
repaired by means Of jewelers. cement.
and sunlight to keep it a good white color.
Steel jewelry must not be worn at the
seaside. 1t is extremely susceptible to
damp, and easily rusts. To remove rust,
buy little crocus powder, and mix tur-
pentine with it until it forms fine paste.
Rub this well on the steel and allow it to
dry on.
Then remove the powder by means Of
a brush. and polish with a leather. If
the rust has eaten deeply in, apply a
mixture of tripoli with half its quantity
of powdered sulphur. Mix, and apply with
soft rag; brush off, and polish with a
dust of dry whitening. If almost hope
lessly rusty, soak the ornament in strong
vinegar for a few hours. Then wipe It
dry, rub 1t with sweet oil and emory pow
der and polish with crocus powder on a
leather.
A watch should be wound up every day
at the same hour. Avoid putting 1t on a
marble slab, or near anything excessively
cold, as the sudden change OF temperature,
contracting the metal, may sometimes
cause the mainspring to break. The cold
coagulates the oil, and the pfvots and
wheels working less freely. affect the reg
ularity of the timekeeper. In laying aside
a watch, be sure that 1t rests on It's case
If suspended, the action of the balance
may cause oscillation, which will inter-
fere with Its going. To keep your watch
clean, take care that the case fits closely
and see that your pockets are free from
fun, which Is so often given of by cot
ton cloth or calico Innings.
