To Take Care Of sIlycrwnrc.

The housekcepera of fifty years AGO
considered it q careful housewives
duty to take care Of her own silver or
to direct its cleaning, if left TO ser

value or heirlooms.
In the busy life OF the women of
to-day time seems to DC too precious
to devote to such work, and KNOWLEDGE
Is made to take the place of labor i'm
the intelligent household. Instead of
securing and rubbing and POLISHING
each piece of silver the service NAV
be cleaned in few minutes as elfec.
lively rs il an hour or two hours were
devoted TO it, After each meal the
service should be put in clean cedar
tub or dish pan kept for the purpose
and covered with hot water, to which
teaspoouful Of powdered borax il
added, then taken out immediately
and laid on soft linen cloth. and
each piece rubbed quickly with n
piece Of chamois skin.
Silver should never he rubbed with
ilannel or cotton cloth. When not
used will become furnished if ex.
posed to light and air; therefore. TO
keep II in good condition, each piece
should be carefully wrapped i'm white
tissue paper. The plated ware will
assume new dignity treated i'm this
manner, and viii always look BRIGHT

Tissue paper is n factor in taking
care Of clothing which should never
be ignored. If it is put into the
loops of ribbons they do not get that
detected and downtrodden look which
takes so much from their value as Il
trimming. If put in tho sleeves OF
bodices it keeps them from missing,
and in packing if put between the
folds of dress, aud where it is
turned to make tie creases to tit it
into the trunk, it will do away with
wrinkles and the dress will shake ont

In packing hats rolls of tissue paper
should always be put around the

AT the Race Tracks.
Tho race track bookmaker has trou-
bles OF his own. The outside public
that attends the races casually and pro
vides the money that keeps the racing
ball rolling is apt. in the philosophical
mood which generally characterizes the
journey home. to conclude that the
men who lay the odds have snap"
But it's not so. Many are the contriy-
ances by which the really knowing
ones among the followers OF the races
manage TO secure for themselves a
very large slice OF the money gathered
in by the bookmakers. Innumerable
are the cOnspiracies concocted by horse
owners. jockeys and professional pun
ters' to Outwit the ring" and not
few Of them are successful. Moreover.
such is the nature of their business
that the bookmakers are to a great ex-
tent at the mercy of their own en-
pioyes. New means Of fraud are spring

of further natural shrlnkage in the

the fact that 100000 less were paid
