HOW TO CLEAN JEWELRY.
To Keep Diamonds Sparkling and
Silver Trinkets Shining Is Not
Difficult Task.

Diamonds may be cleaned by brush
ing them with lather of soap and wa
ter, rubbing them afterwards with eau
de cologne. If well shaken in bag of
bran they acquire great brilliancy. Cut
stones should not be wiped after being
washed. Wash in lather of white
soap, rinse and put on their faces in
sawdust until quite dry. Opals which
have become dim may be polished by
rubbing them web with oxide of tin or
with damp putty spread on chamois
leather; finish with damp powdered
chalk, also spread on leather. Then
wash the opals with soft brush In wa
ter and then immersed in the follow
ing: Salt one pine, alum one pint, salt
peter two pints, water four pints.
Leave the silver in this for five minutes,
then rinse in cold water and polish with
a leather. They should be kept in sill
yer paper. Oxidized silver can be
cleaned in a quarter of pint of sui
phuric acid, mixed with one quart
of water. Ordinary silver articles may
be kept bright by cleaning them with
slice of lemon and afterward rinsing
in cold water. Then wash in lather of
soap and rinse in hot water, dry with
soft cloth and polish with leather.
Nickel should be rubbed with flannel
dipped in ammonia. Amber may be
rubbed with wet powdered chalk; then
with little olive oil applied with a fam
mel. Ivory can be whitened with a
solution of peroxide of hydrogen, or
let the articles stand in spirits of wine
in the sunshine-cincinnati CONNER

WASHING THE FACE.
Instead of Using Water After q Walk
Ladies Should Battle with
Lait Virginal.

Many skins will not stand constant
washing, a practice which indeed
tends to coarsen the complexion. Thor
ough washing once a day is sufficient
for most women, and is far prefer
able to partial and careless ablutions
morning, noon and night. Instead of
cleansing the face in water when COM
ing in from a walk, or when one feels
that a wash would be refreshing, it
is capital thing to battle it with lait
virginia.. 1t is an excellent purifier,
easily made and harmless. 1t is,
moreover, delightfully."- refreshing. 1
give the recipe: Rose, orange flower,
or elder flower water, one pint; SIM
pie tincture of benzoin, two ounces;
tincture of myrrh, ten drops; gylcer-
inc, ten drops. Place the rose wa
ter in bowl, and while stirring it,
with glass or porcelain spoon, add
drop by drop the benzoin, then the
myrrh and glycerine.
Be sure you get the simple tincture
of benzoin, as the compound tincture
contains other ingredients quite un-
suited to the purpose. Some skins will
not stand glycerine. If this is the
case with yours, all that need be done
is to omit it from the emulsion. Never
use pure glycerine to the skin of the
face, as it tends to induce hairy
growth.
The lait virginia. should be ap-
piled with soft rag, and one is often
surprised at the amount of dirt, un-
suspected because undetected, which
is brought away.-Philadelphia Press.

Mrs. McKinley's gowns for this win

of silver-gray peau de sole, which is
sort of heavy ribbed silk, with hardly
any luster. The skirt has a long train,
and all up the front and on both sides
are bands of beautiful steel embroidery,
with small silver spangles. The bodice
is embroidered in the same way and is
relieved at the throat by collar and

BOYS Merry THEFT.
Robbed a jewelers. Safe With the
Owner and His Son Within
Ten Feet of Him.

Burlington, Oct. 4.-One of the nervi-
est thefts ever committed here occurred
yesterday afternoon when Roy Brew
er, q 16 year old boy, robbed the safe
of J. A. Mosher's jewelry store of $102
cash while Mr.. Mosher and his son were
within ten feet of him.
Young Brewer took his bicycle in for
Leon -Mosher to repair and took a seat
near the stove, which is only a few feet
from the safe. The safe was unlocked
and this. boy waited until all were busy
and then quietly opened the safe and
took the money. He was arrested near
Joe Brennan and confessed to taking
$50, but says that is all he got. The
officers think that he gave the remain
der of the money to his partner About
three weeks ago $50 was stolen from the
safe in the same manner and things in
dictate that young Brewer got that also.
