Cleaning OIL Paintings.

An art journal suggests raw potatoes
to clean oil paintings. Have a few po-
tatoes at hand. each cut in halves. The
fresh surface is dampened slightly with
cold water and used to rub the canvas.
AS the potatoes show soil the surface
is sliced off and the rubbing continued.
This process will create a little lather,
which should be wiped off as fast as it
'accumulates with n clean, damp sponge.
When the whole canvas is cleaned, it
should be washed over lightly with
clean water from which the chill has
been taken and finally the water
carefully wiped off with an old clean
silk handkerchief. Raw potatoes to
clean paintings are frequently in hear
say evidence, but this description of
the process may be of value. 1t is sug-
gested by way of reasonable caution
that the experiment should be tried
first upon a canvas of trifing value
and upon one corner of that.

foods there comes the great treat. This
is n bowl of a frothy. soapy mixture,
obtained by crushing in not overclean
manner the sapoliti, or soap berries,
and squeezing out the juice. This is as
much like soapsuds as it is possible to
conceive. The natives sip it from
spoons of black wood, neatly carved,
Of which they think a great deal.

Broadway recently when it was hailed

been only eight fares rung up. He dis

The Baptist church of GAINESVILLE,
Wis, has established what is called a
s'children's church, the object of
which is to give the parents of young
children an opportunity to attend
church. During the morning service
hour the children who are too young
to attend church service have a SER
vice of their own, conducted by the
young women in the Sunday school
rooms. They volunteer for the work,
and q different committee takes
charge of the little ones each Sunday.
The babies are amused with dolls and
playthings, while the work of inter-
esting the older children is conducted
along kindergarten lines. A large
number of children attend, and the
children's church is proving popular,
many of the little ones being un-
willing to leave when their mothers
call for them at the close of church.
