Frightening Copper Utensils.

Inc best way to clean and polish cop
per utensils and doorplates is to rub
hard with woolen cloth dipped in a
strong solution Of oxa1ic acid. This will
clean the copper of all tarnish and re-
move spots that have been there a long
time Then rub off with a drv cloth
Finally polish briskly with silver DOW
der, rubbing it until the copper stands
out clear and bright. The polishing
should be done before the oxalic acid So
luton has chance to dry on the COP
per. Remember that oxalic acid is a
virulent po: N, and keep it out of reach
of children and pets.

A Dish of Tea.

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Etiquette is a strange affair II
changes SO indisputably that what in
one century will be called polite in an
other will be dubbed the climax of vul-
garlty. Take that simple matter. for
example. the drinking of tea from the
saucer. When tea was first used in
england, 1t was drunk from dish. In
ola collections of china many of these
quaint pieces will be found. They are
shallow basins devoid OF handles.
Then someone introduced cups with
handles and saucers. Old-fashioned folk
did not care for them, and as a protest
tney pourc Z cir tea into the saucer
ana drank /. --Om there, barking back
as far as they could to the old beloved
dish"
But, as to the old-fashioned is usually
an objectionable social crime. people
VINO were up to date determined that to
drink from the saucer was a vulgar
habit just as bad as eating with knife,
IN the kitchen and comfortable quarters
or that kind, were those who drank their
tea drank it as they preferred, the fash

too fastidious. She waited until hers
cooled or drank it scalding. And SO
matters have gone on. Even if this

Never put bottle nipple into your

This will often prove dangerous.
Always hold baby in your arms
when feeding it, in about the same DO
sition as if nursing it.
Feeding in the night after the third

necessary. Sleep at night is better
than food

it is hurtful to fill an infants stomach
at such time.

More infants lives are taken by over

to her infant.
An infant is creature of habit and

Letter From u Cat,
Dear Editor: l hereby take
My pen in paw to say,
Can you explain a curious thing
found the other day?
There is another little cat
Who sits behind a frame.
And looks so very much like me
You'd think we were the same.
l try to make her play with me,
Yet when l new and call.
Though I see her new in answer,
She makes no sound at all.
And to the dullest kitten
It's plain enough to see
That either l am mocking her,
Or she is mocking me.
1t makes no difference what play.
She seems to know the game:
For every time | look around
l see her do the same.
AND yet no matter though l creep
On tiptOe lest she hear.
Or quickly dash behind the frame.
She's sure to disappear!

there would be less anxious investiga-

The Courts.

The New York Journal gives the fol
| lowing editorial view of such decisions:
A Judge" Robinson, of the Connecti-
cut superior court, decides that a labor
er's life has merely purely nominal
value-say TEN DOLLARS.
The man who hands down this deci
sion is neither insane nor wilfully
vicious. He is merely one of those
Judges who are SO rapidly bringing
the courts into disrepute.
Their conduct is the greatest menace
to the peace and welfare of the country.
Public security and tranquility are
based on public confidence in public JUS
tice. Faith in the courts has been a
feature of American life since the ma
tion's life began.
How long will that faith last in the
face Of such ''judges?"
One declares that a child's life is
worth one dollar because the chiIds
death frees the parents from expense.
Shall we have another Judge to say
that railroad which kills child is
entitled to sue the parents and recover
half the money saved through the
child's death?
This Robinson judge declares that
laborer killed instantly felt no pain.
and therefore only TEN DOLLARS is
enough damages for the railroad to nav
his relatives
VIII he decide how much torture tho
road may inflict on a man in killing
him-say for $40?
The judges who favor government hv
injunction, who give towards power ia
hire Pnikerton men: the judges who as
sess the value of a mans life according
TO that mans fortune, are public dan
gers and public enemies.
