Every indication is forthcoming that
the approaching season in Cairo

the record of last year. when so many
English people deserted the Riviera

WHY SILVER TARNIsHEs.

Although every housekeeper is pain
fully aware of the tendency of silver
ware to part with its briiliancy and
become tarnished when exposed to or
binary atmospheric influences, many
do not know that the cause of the
furnishing is the action OF sulphur in
the air. Unless frequently cleaned,
the surface of Silver will become
black in the course OF few months.
The best way to keep silver bright.
without the necessity OF cleaning. is
said to be to coat the surface with a
thin solution OF collodion varnish di-
luted with spirits of wine. After be-
Ing applied with a soft brush the spir-
1t evaporates. leaving a thin. glossy,
transparent Aim on the polished sur
face. Warm water removes the var
nish. Tarnished silver may be re-
stored by careful rubbing with a soft
cloth wet with dilute solution of potas-
sium cyanide;-one ounce to a quart
of water,-followed by rinsing.

DANCER TO HEALTH IN SCHOOLS

Siany people who are scrupulously
careful of the health OF their children
in the home are strangely Indifferent
to the conditions prevailing in the
school. Hygiene in the public schools
Is subject that is yearly receiving
more and more attention, with the re-
suit that new school buildings in the
larger towns and the cities conform
generally to sanitary standards, but
this is not true OF many of the old
buildings and of many schoolhouses In
small places. II is the duty OF all
parents to know how far they fall
short. and why, and what Is needed
to make them healthy.
The rules as to contagious diseases
should be more strict or rather more
strictly enforced. and parents should
remember that danger may lurk in
complaints often considered OF slight
Importance. Whooping cough. for In

Is dangerous and often fatal to very
young children. and is easily carried

the babies in the nursery.
Too much attention cannot be paid
to the question of light in the school

abundant and should come from the
left side. so that no shadow Is thrown
on slate or book, as is the case when
the light comes from behind or from

Another most important matter Is
The properly constructed desk, which
will prevent undue STOPPING, contor-
lions. or impediment to correct breath
Ing.
In considering the subject of ventil-
alton. there should. OF course. be some
system in every schoolroom by which
air can be introduced from outside
and then allowed to escape without
using the windows. which cannot al
ways be depended upon on account Of
drafts and storms. These and many
other points should be insisted upon
by parents.

The trolley car which had been dash-

denly held upon a suburban street
corner by the inevitable coal wagon
with tendency to break down. Frank
lin Atherton gazed idly at the earnest
group OF Salvation Army workers on
the other side of the street. Suddenly
in momentary cessation OF the pom
derous drum beats a clear, sweet. iehi-
nine voice faltered out softly
"Ah! | have sighed to rest me
Deep In the quiet grave"
The rest of the words were surprls-

most characteristic type. But FRANK

a bound he had reached the side OF the
singer-the girl whom he would have
asked to become his wife long ago

her. He had not seen her for nearly
two years.

turned away as though she had suf-

take me just yet. But" she called

AGREEMENT REACHED.
Proposition Now Pending For a New
Hotel.

Yesterday afternoon A. G. Blanch-
ard and G. H. Campbell reached an
agreement with the insurance adjust
ers as to the amount they we're to re.
ceive for the damage by fire to the
Park block.
Mr.. Blanchard's part was insured
for 5000, but the adjusters claimed
that as the roof was still on the build
ing and the walls all standing, it
could be repaired and therefore they
awarded Mr.. Blanchard only $2,429

c. H. Campbell carried 5000 insu-
rance on the part where his fruit store
and restaurant we're located, and he
was allowed for total loss.
