KEEP THE GLASS BRIGHT.
1T Should Be Thoroughly Polished
and No Soap Used In
Washing.

A dainty table is a mark of good
breeding, and shining glass is the great
est of all table ornaments. Pretty
glassware can be purchased so cheap
ly nowadays that any purse can afford
a number of pretty articles. These,
however, will not add to the appear
ance of the table unless the glass is kept
shiningly clean, and the lack of shining
glass cannot be supplied with anything
else placed upon the table. The glass
ware needs to be polished quite as often
as the silver if we want to keep it at
its best, for if any of the glassware is
clouded it will spoil the entire effect
of an otherwise perfect table. 1t is
easy to keep glass clean, but very hard
to wash if dust is allowed to accumulate
in the crevices on the right side. The
inside of the dish is almost always
washed, but it is not such an easy mat
ter to wash the outside of fancy glass
ware. Even the cheap ware, however,
may be made to look as well as cut glass
if it is cleansed often and thoroughly
polished after each washing. A very
important point in washing glass is to
avoid sudden changes from extreme
cold to extreme heat. A glass Which
has held ice water should not be
plunged at once into hot water, as it
will be apt to crack, and changes from
heat to cold are just as dangerous. The
best glassware should not be carried
from the dining-roop oftener than nee
essary, but it is best to take it to the
kitchen once a week and treat it TO
hot, strong suds. All the glassware
should be rinsed in cold water before
it is put into the suds, especially The
glasses which have been used for milk.
Prepare a strong suds of pearline and
hot water and wash the glass in suds.
then rinse in clear hot water and wipe
as quickly as possible. No soap should
ever be used about glass, as it is almost
impossible to rinse it clear after using
soap, and of course our aim is to make
it as bright as possible. II the glass
ware is thoroughly rinsed and wiped
while hot with soft dry towels, even the
cheap ware will be as sparkling as the
real cut glass.-IIome Magazine.

BRIDES BUY THE RING.
A Growing New York Practice Which.
One Jeweler Thinks, Has
WeiEhty Advantages.

"Isn't that a new wrinkle?" asked the
chance observer.
"What?" said the clerk.
For the bride to buy the wedding
ring" replied the observer, turning to
look at the young woman who had just
gone out with her purchase of IA
karat, gold-filled ring.
The clerk, who turned out to be the
proprietor also, laughed. mot at all
in this part of town. he said. 1.-The
practice has been in vogue for several
years and has continued to grow in
popularity until it has become quite
the proper caper. Indeed, when man
comes in here now and asks to look at
plain gold rings we consider him lit
tie off color, and feel rather mean to-
ward him, as though he were usurping
a feminine prerogative. Anyway, why
shouldn't the woman buy the ring,
looking at the matter from common
sense standpoint? 1t saves no end OF
trouble. A ring from woman's point
of view is a matter not only of senti-
ment. but also of adornment. She
wants her jewelry, however cheap it
may be, to be of the proper cut and
the proper size. Now, what man, I'd
like to know, can go in and select the
right kind of ring even if he has got
the measure? Not one out of twenty.
1t is a lot more satisfactory for all con-
cerned for the bride to come in and
pick out what she wants without
troubling the bridegroom, except, of
course, for the money. He always set
tiles the bill; at least l suppose he does.
'You see, this is a neighborhood
where the people don't stand much on
the fine points of etiquette. They in
sist upon the ring to tie up the con-
tract with, but two-thirds of these rings
are unengraved and sell for from two
to four dollars. It's fun to see some
of the women when they first state
their errand. They beat about the
bush and make their wants known in
such coquettish way that don't Won
der, sometimes, that the young man,
whoever he may be, has lost his head.
Maidenly modesty, / suppose, makes
them shy, and they begin by saying
they are looking for plain gold ring
for friend with a finger about the
size of mine When they say that |
always smile. / know what it means"

Croustade of Oysters.

Have loaf of bread baked in a round
two-quart basin. When two days old
with sharp knife cut out the heart of
the bread, being careful not to break
the crust. Break up the crumbs very
fine and dry them slowly in the oven;
then quickly fry three cupfuls of them
in two tablespoonfuls of butter. AS
soon as they begin to look golden and
are crisp they are done. 1t takes about
two minutes over hot fire, stirring all
the time. Put one quart of cream to
boil, and when it boils stir in three ta-
blespoonfuls of flour which has been
mixed with half cupful of cold milk.
Cook eight minutes. Season well with
salt and pepper. Put layer of sauce
into the croustade, then layer of
oysters well dredgcd with salt and pep
per; then another layer of sauce and
one of fried crumbs. Continue this UNI
til the croustade is nearly full, having
the last layer thick one of crumbs.
1t takes three pints of oysters for this
dish. Bake, slowly half an hour.-Chi-

NEW FADS IN NECKWEAR.
The Predictions SO Far Are In Favor
of Velvet for Fail and
Winter.

The woman is always interested in
neckwear fashions, the only difficulty
being that fashion in this matter is such
a tickle jade that it is hard to keep tally
with her. One day she declares low
effects; the next it must be so high that
r the chin seems supported by an iron
band.
Neckwear is very dear to the average
woman's heart, for the dressing of her
neck often makes or mars a woman's
whole toilette, and it behooves her to be
very careful in her choice of stocks, ties.
crayats, ribbons or collars.
Velvet is promised for next winter.
The predictions so far are in favor of
a velvet season, therefore some of the
newest CONNECTIONS in neckwear are
shown in the fashion of velvet stocks.
These stocks come in all manner of fam
cy designs, some criss-crossed over Il
contrasting color, with the omnipotent
velvet ribbon.
The long, fluffy chiffon boas. which
are dcservedly popular, as they soften
the face and are becoming to the home
lest cast of features, still retain their
popularity and are being shown in very
pretty new designs. AS they are SO per-
ishable, the woman with a small pocket
book would do well to attend the bar
gain sale of these goods and pay as little
as she consistently can and yet get an
article worth buying.
AS all indications point to the revival
of empire fashions, when stout grand
mothers wore skinny skirts and very
shortwaisted bodices and carried lace
scarfs and mantillas, advance fash IONS
show us that these two mentioned ar
ticles of a woman's wardrobe promise
to be feature of winter house gowns.

Americn,s Women ministers.

There are to-day about 800 women
ministers in the United States. In
America the ministry is being more
used by women as profession than the
law. The great value of women min
listers in America is for scattered parts
that cannot possibly afford to support
a man. They can maintain woman
minister. The chief opposition to
women pastors comes from ministers
of the poorer and least qualified class.
Ot course the older and more conscrva-
tive ministers, bishops and the like,
do not look with much pleasure on a
woman in the pulpit. But many cen
gregations in the United States are
ready for women ministers.-Chicago

HOW A FILIPINO DIES.
Stretches Himself Out in an Easy

wild Animal,

The general, in q white hat, was
marching in advance of the firing line,
when the discharge of rifle was heard
in the yard of Il house next to the road.
Several soldiers rushed into the yard,
but not in time to prevent two more
shots, which came whizzing in the d.
rection of the general: At this moment
[ came to break in the hedge where !
could see what was going on. \ young
Filipino was about 80 yards OFF. lie was
turning this way and that like an ami
NAL at bay, thoroughly fri ghtened. He
had rifle in his hand. 1t afterwards
turned out that this rifle was clicked.
The soldiers were breaking down the
high hedge to get in. Suddenly the Fill
Pine made a run for life. He got through
the hedge some way and dashed across
an open field. Three shots followed.
all of which took effect. The wounded
man turned, ran sideways few PAGES,

after was dead. l got good sight of
the whole incident, and SO naturally
did the Filipino stretch himself along
the ground and rest his head upon his

An examination minute later proved
that he was dead. There Is this differ

American and Filipino soldiers die
