SILVER PLATE IN WINTER.


Silver in winter requires especial
attention Gas from coal fires as well
as from burners furnishes and dis
colors. The sulphur from India rub
her is also inimical to silver, SO that
TIE ring around the meek OF a fruit
Jar will in few hours turn a spoon
black That silver not in everyday
use should be kept in cases made OF
Canton flannel or of chamois skin.
The latter, because more impervious
to moisture. is best. The case may
be long and narrow, with a strip OF
silk or ribbon down the center, and
loops into which spoons and knives
are to be slipped. This open case can
be covered with any suitable mate
rial. 1t is to be folded, when the ar
ticles are in it, and kept in drawer
or separate case, together with .
piece of camphor gum, which helps to
KEEP silver from furnishing. Large
pieces of silver require separate bags
made to fit, and forks need a separ-
ate receptacle. When from neglect,
plate has grown much spotted. rigor-
Gus measures are required. In that
case take one spoonful of ammonia
to 16 of vinegar, rub over the stains
rapidly and at once plunge into hot
soapsuds. Any substance which Is
srtong enough to remove stains will
eat the surface of silver and must not
be permitted to remain, says Good
Housekeeping.
Silver in constant use needs only
to have a daily wash in scalding suds,
then to be rinsed in water equally
hot and wiped dry. so that for a long
time it will be bright without extra
care. Table salt applied to the dis
colorations produced by the sulphur
in eggs will remove it at once.
Whiting applied with a moistened
cloth, rubbed on soap, Will usually be
all that is necessary. Should the
plate have been neglected a long
time, the cloth may first be moist
ened with alcohol or diluted ammonia.
Engraved and repousse silver needs
to be cleaned with whiting applied ON
a tooth brush. After it is dry, cover
the hair with a sweeping cap to avoid
dust. and thoroughly brush over the
raised and incised surfaces with .
soft brush that penetrates every part
of the figures or lettering. A thor
ough rubbing and then brushing in
this manner will restore the original
brilliancy of plate as no other treat
ment can do.

Oysters prepared in this way are
very nice: Take :5 large oysters,
such as are used in frying. Place
them, without their liquor, in the
chaiing dish; add one tablespoonful
of butter. one gill Of white wine, one
teaspoonful Of salt and one-half that
quantity of pepper. When the oys-
tiers are cooked add to them the fol-
lowing mixture, which must be cooked
in the meantime. Cut very fine one
gill of mushrooms and one truff1e.
To this add one-half ounce of butter
and one-half gill Of mushroom liquor.
Cook for five minutes and add the
yolks of four eggs and a pint of rich
cream. Put with the oysters and let
the mixture get very hot without
boiling; then serve with puff paste
cut in shapes.-Detroit Free Press.

GOT EVEN WITH THE BOYS.
Hilarious FeotbaIIssts Coulan't stand
the Scrshbing DrusA Of
Woman.

Plastered with mud from head to
foot, without coats or hats, their long
hair, rain-drenched. hanging in disor-
der around their flushed and dirty
faces, II youths rushed into an Ogden
avenue car one afternoon recently and
scattered themselves over the plush
covered seats. The few passengers
edged away in disgust and the con-
ductor looked around as il in search of
q policeman. An elderly man came
aboard and concluded to stand rather
than suffer close contact with the
young 'medics," who were fresh from
a game on the muddy athletic grounds.
A woman with market basket came in
the door. says the Chicago Chronicle.
.Is this pigsty or a brickyard?" she
inquired in withering tone after
glance along the seats.
.'Sit down. num-" said one youth.
There's lots Of ROOM"
"Don't be afraid; we won't bite"
chimed in several of his friends.
would youz sass me?" she ex-
claimed, with rising wrath. "Begorra.
I'll whip the whole bunch of yez, wheth-
er yer footballists or bricklayers. Get
over on one side together. What, you
won't? Then I'll make you."
Pulling scrubbing brush from her
basket. she attacked the youth nearest
her. He hesitated only long enough to
get blow on the top of his head, then
fed for the door at the other end of the
car. His companions followed helter-
skelter. the slowest being belabored by
the scrub brush. while the conductor
looked on approvingiy and the other
passengers shouted with glee. Pant
ing, but triumphant, the woman re-
turned and took seat in the least
muddled spot.
"Say, what's your name?" inquired
the youth whom she had first assailed,
sticking his head in at the front door.
"What do you want Of my name ?" she
retorted, scornfully. do you be mind
ed go call the police?''
NO." replied the young man. ave
want you to play on our team"
The woman jumped to her feet as II
intent on renewed battle, but the
"medics" jumped from the car plat
form and gave their conqueror the class
yell As she passed by.
