How to wash Glass.

Slip the glasses in sideways so that the water touches the outside and in- side of the glass at the same time, and there will be no danger of cracking from unequal expansion. Wash one at time, rolling it around in the pan with the ends of the fingers, or use a dish mop kept specially for the glass and silver. Wipe at once without rins- Ing or draining. Before washing glass that has held milk or glass milk bot tie rinse first in cold water. A gener- ous sized piece of old cotton cloth, neat ly hemmed to avoid travelling and lint, is the best polishing towel for glass.

HousEWoRkERs' HANDS.
How to Keep Them Free From the
 Marks of Labor.


 Marks of Labor.
 Housework is rather hard on the hands, but there are some precautions which, if taken, will add greatly to the comfort of the worker and the appear ance of the hands, says Maria Parloa in Ladies' Home Journal. Among the things which roughen and blacken the hands the most important are dust, soap, fruit, vegetables and neglect to properly dry the hands. Wash all veg etables before pairing. When the hands are stained by fruit or vegetables, be sure to remove the stains before the hands come in contact with soap or soapy water. Remove the stains with an acid, such as lemon, vinegar or sour milk; then wash in clear water. When using soap and water for any purpose, be sure to rinse off all the soap before wiping the hands. Always wipe the hands perfectly dry. Do not change soaps if you can avoid 1t, and always use a good soap. When sweeping and dusting, wear loose fitting gloves. Have a pair of rubber gloves for use when it is necessary to have the hands in wa ter great deal. Grease spells rubber, therefore the gloves must be washed perfectly clean as soon as the work is finished. A little bran and milk or vinegar will make the hands clean and smooth after dishwashing or any other work that roughens them. With a lit tie practice one can wash dishes as well and quickly with dish mop as with a cloth and the hands. There should be two mops, one for the table ware and one for the cooking dishes. For washing floors have self wiring ing mop. To soften the hands use some sort of cream on them at night and put them in loose gloves kept for this pur- pose.

How the Baby Should Be Treated.
 Things to Avoid.
 Beware of trying to take the advice and adopting the methods of all your friends who have lately become ma trons Inexperienced mothers are apt to try too many plans, to their child's detriment.
 Beware of overlooking the baby and ruining the digestive organs early in life by giving them too much work to do.
 Beware of underfeeding the baby by sticking too closely to a system laid down in some book that dictates just so much food at so many stated pe- riods of the day. Many children have grown puny and weak by being ruled by the method that has happened to prove successful for some other child.
 Beware of breaking your promise to children. They often remember bettar
 and breach of faith is a
 l 1hock to them.
 Beware of violent noises and rough shakings or tossings in trying to amuse the baby. They are hurtful to the child and should be avoided as much as possible
 Beware of putting infants in sitting posture until they are at least months old, when they will probably sit up of their own accord. They should be car ried flat in the arms when very young, for if the little back is curved it may lead to curvature of the spine or weak chest.
 Beware of a rough comb in caring for the tender scalps. A proper comb for the baby's head is one the teeth of which are even and regular, with points not too sharp, but smoothly rounded. Tn selecting it, it should be held up to the light to detect any roughening or splitting of the teeth at the sides.

CHAPTER X.
Five thousand pounds.

Five thousand pounds.
The sum seemed to burn itself into
Harold Dynevor's brain as the sum-
mer ripened. He did not actually
know that Mr.. Lindon meant to fore
close, but he could not doubt Mr..
Proctors warning, He felt that If five
thousand pounds were not forthcom-
ing before the 25th of December his
mother must leave her lifelong home,
and he himself go forth into the world
ruined man.
He had more than one long confer
ence with the lawyer about raising the
money Mr., Proctor thought private
lender would be the only source
whence he could obtain It, He said
that at forced sale the Uplands
would fetch very little in excess of
the actual sum needed; but he thought
any one who knew the property might
be inclined to offer six thousand for
1t, on the understanding 1t was to be
redeemed. The one thousand could be
paid back at once, the other Ave re-
main at interest.
only 80 very few people have cap
ital to dispose Of" he concluded, "and
those few seem to fight clear Of land.
I am making inquiries among all like
ly investors. Don't you think General
Craven would consider the specula-
ton"
"He can't. His daughter is to be
married in the autumn, and he'll want
all the ready money he can find"
The general, indeed, when sounded
on the subject, took what seemed to
Mr.. Proctor very hard view.
"You know, Proctor" the old SOL
der declared, "I've no liking for Eus-
tace Lindon, and I'd not mind thwart-
ing him; but think for any one to
enable the Dynevors to remain at Up
lands would be to do them q cruel
kindness. 1t is openly reported Lin

We leave. 1t will be far and away bet
ter for Mrs. DynevOr and her children
not to live, so to say, at his gates. /
think it is a blessing in disguise that
they will have to CO."
"And I don't!" said the lawyer
stoutly. Think Of the years the place
has been in Mrs, Dyhevor's family!
Think how hard her son has worked
to keep it up! II he leaves Uplands,
Harold goes out into the world pennl-
less"

NEW BREAD AT PARIS.
From Fresh Flour and Greatly In-
Crenses Nutrition,

From Fresh Flour and Greatly In-
crenses Nutrition.
Among all the exhibits of bread and
ad-making at the Paris exhibition
the one which interested me most was
a system Of milling and baking com
blned. 1t is well known that all food
substances when ground to fine pow
der have tendency to become oXi-
died. AS Is the case with coffee, which
Is the best when freshly roasted and
freshly ground, so It is with cereal
-four which Is never so aromatic or
so nutritious as at the moment when
1t Is first made. The Schweitzer sys-
TEN, in regard to the milling orpera-
tions, is a return to the old system OF
millstones, with the exception that cor
rugated steel grinders take the place
Of the millstones Of the olden days,
says the Paris Messenger These
grinderssare so accurately adjusted as
to admlt'of the making of the finest
-four, while avoiding actual contact OF
the two grinding surfaces, The sim
plicity Of the apparatus, the cheapness
and the ease with which it can be in
stalled commend this system partcu-
larly for domestic use and for the sup
ply of villages and small communities.
Nevertheless, 1t is capable of being op-
Grated on an extensive scale, as is
demonstrated by the large establish
ment at La Villette, Paris, where more
than 100000 pounds of bread are made
per day from -four not more than "a
hours old. Chemical analysis shows
that the -four made according to the
Schweitzer system has more than
twice as much phosphate material as
that made by the ordinary roller proc
ess. The Importance Of this fact in
respect to nutrition should not be lost
sight Of, and we must admit that nu-
triton, not whiteness Of color, is the
principal object Of bread-making.
