"No, mol" said the woman, in a

Pearls of Thought,


Laziness and dirt never quarrel.
Opinions cannot over throw facts.
Single your house before. you
plaster it.
A bad mans hate, is good mans
reputation.
1t takes windy man to blow his
own trumpet.
The Root of all evil is the cause
of much digging.
No man ever stumbles over an
object in his rear.
Hope is staff in the morning, and
a couch at night.
Facts never blink under the sun
light of evidence.
You can throw ten pound stone
father than feather.
The last blow brings the crash
but all that went before it were
needed to fell The tree.
The man who boasts of his virtues
has to boast Of them in order that
they may be seen.-Ram's Horn.

Amazing Audacity.

Each interested observer of the
part of the American Navy has had
in the recent war, has q fsvorite in
cident which stands clear from all
other events of the campaign. For
stern bravado, says the United Ser
vice Magazine, it would be hard to
rival the feat of Ensign ellis, who
saw stray torpedo coming slowly
but surely toward the anchored tor
pedo boat Porter.
He sprang overheard, turned the
nose of the torpedo in a safer direc-
ton, and screwed up the firing pin
tightly so that it would not operate.
Then treading water, he saluted
Lieutenant Fremont and reported:
"Sir, have to report have cap
tured torpedo"
Bring it on board, sir,' CON-
handed Fremont; and ellis actually
did so, swimming with il to the
ship and fastening tackle to it.

now 10 KEEP sILvERWARE.

Nothing looks worse on table at
meals than tarnished silver or plate,
and with only little trouble it
could all be avoided.
II you have servant, impress up
on her the necessity of washing up
the plate as soon as the meal is over
in plenty OF hot water 10 which,
either.soda or extract Of soap is dis
solved. Silver should be allowed to
drain only for minute and then
should be wiped dry with soft and
perfectly clean teacloth and before
putting away should be polished
with leather. If this Is done each
time the plate is washed, it will only
require cleaning once week.
So many servants allow the silver
to remain until all the washing up
is done and then wash it 10 luke
warm, greasy water, or they wash
it first and leave it to dry by itself
till all the other things are wiped
and put away.
Only give out as much plate as
is absolutely necessary. Keep tue
spare things wrapped up in tissue
paper in dry case or plate chest.
The best way to keep the silver
that is in use is to have piece of
red or green baise about II yards
long. Put this singly in one OF your
sideboard drawers. Then arrange
your plate in sorts, all the different
sized articles together, and then
cover over with the other end of the
baize.
Now comes the business of clean
ing.
First of all thoroughly wash the
plate to be cleaned and dry it.
Put a little Of the powder in a
saucer and moisten with methylated
spirit. Dip an old soft toothbrush
in this mixture and apply to The
article, rubbing to get off all stains.
ALLOW it to thoroughly dry and then
brush off with a plate brush and
polish with leather. For plain
silver-that is, not chased or futed
do not use the toothbrush, as it
is apt to scratch, but apply the pow
der with soft lag.
