HOW TO CLEAN JEwELRY.
To Keep Diamonds Sparkling and
Silver TrinlSets Shining Is Not
n Difficult Task.

Diamonds may be cleaned by brush
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 well 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 quar-.
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 fan
mel. Ivory can be whitened with
solution of peroxide of hydrogen, or
let the articles stand in spirits of wine
in the sunshine.-Cincinnati CONNER

THE GIRLS OF SAMOA.
They wenr Kilt Skirts and Necklaces
of Sharks Teeth and Are
Born Coquettes.

The girl of Samoa is born coquette,
full of romance and natural grace. Her
usual costume is necklace of sharks
teeth, some metal earrings and short
skirt. The number of sharks teeth in
her necklace is the measure of her popu-
larity among her admirers. The more
teeth the greater the belle.
From the time she is ten years of age
she begins to make eyes from behind a
beautifully carved fan. AS usual with
coquettes, she is tickle in the extreme,
as well as romantic. Her nature is as
fierce as that of the warriors of her
country, and she is a thoroughly
trained athlete as well. She is skillful
in the use of arms and is cruel and re-
lentless in war. She is equal in strength
to many of the Samoan warriors.
For dress occasions the older Samoan
girls wear the same costume as man.
This is kilt or piece of drapery wound
about the waist in manner which
seems to q foreigner nothing short of
miraculous. This is called lava-lava,
sort of mat material. A mere scrap of
it wound about the waist of child is
the children wear no garments what
ever. The drapery is of the same gen.
eral character as that worn by natives
of most of the South Sea islands and the
Indian archipelago, as well as the south
ern countries of Asia. 1t is called by
the Malays the sarong.
But the Samoan girl has been out in
the world more or less of late years.
The tourists froIa other countries have
visited Samoa; so the natural beauty of
the native Samoan girl is being spoiled
by her great vanity. She not only
spends great deal of time in beautify-
ing herself, but she adopts such incon-
gruous combinations as a fine mat lava
lava and ball gown waist or velvet
basque cut V necked, her hair done up
empire style and wearing, to complete
her toilet, a string of ferns around her
waist and a necklace ct the inevitable

sharks teeth about her bronze throat.
Her arms and limbs are bare. She has
seen shoes, but she prefers to be COM
Portable. She also refuses stockings,
contrary to the Samoan warrior, who, it
is told, rrs >ehed with his comrades in
battle array wearing a pair of opera
length silk hose, the soles of which were
worn completely off. These had no
doubt been given to him by some Eu-
ropean travellers.
Although the Samoan g2rl does not
wear clothes, properly speaking, she is
taught while still very young to en-
broider and sew.
The hairpins worn in her hair are
beautiful in their workmanship. They
are made out of the wood of a cocoanut
tree, and are carved with dead cocoa
nut leaf. This is most delicate work.
The girls are taught to swim when
babies. They are graceful and readily
learn to dance. AS people the Samoans
are great dancers, and during their
holiday seasons they dance day and
night. They are also fond of music,
and have native instruments, which
they beat to strange Rhythmic music,
not altogether beautiful, but har-
monious.
The marriage of the Samoan girl is
arranged by herparents. The girl never
thinks of having any opinion of her own
on the subject, but accepts the parents
decision as inevitable. This does not
prevent her from having, any number
of admirers before OF otter marriage,
which seems to be another matter en-
tirely She is far more interesting in
her native costumes, pursuing the GUS
tomary life of her own people, than
when she tries to ape the foreigners
who visit her beautiful tropical country
to admire her in all her native SIM
plicity and beauty.-N. Y. Tribune.

To Preserve Old Letters.

Here is unique method of saving
old letters. A youthful bride has
been trying to bring herself to
burning up her love letters. They
had accumulated during the years
of her engagement to such an ex-
tent that to save them all was
out of the question, and to burn them
was out of the question, too. Instead,
she has torn them, painstakingly, into
small bits and changed them into an
embroidered covered pillow. It's a
suggestive idea, and might be util-
lied in preserving all sorts of old let
ters and manuscripts.

full folds about her.
Mrs. McKinley's gowns for this win
ter are in excellent taste. She has one
of silver-gray peau de sole, which is
sort of heavy ribbed silk, with hardly
any luster. The skirt has 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
jabot of real lace. 1t is made surplice,
with long, tight-ftting sleeves, which
fall well over the hands.--Demorest'

WASHING THE FACE.
Instead of Using Water After n Walk
Ladies Should Bathe with
Lait yirEinal.

Many skins will not stand constant
washing, 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 wash would be refreshing, it
is a capital thing to bathe it with lait
virginia.. 1t is an excellent purifier,
easily made and harmless. 1t is.
moreover, delightfully."- refreshing. I
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 a 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
