and which was played throughout the
country for the past two years with much
profit, by Eugene Blair, a Washington

Not little of the credit for the excel

THE CARE OF CUT GLASS.

Cut glass should have the greatest
possible care in handling. A wooden
tub should be used for washing, and
the water in which it is cleared should
never be too warm for the hands. The
deeper the cutting, the more liable 1t
Is to be broken. Cut glass should
never be left upon stone or marble,
and in rinsing the water should be OF
nearly the came temperature as that
used for the washing. 1t should al
ways be drained ON soft towel or
cloth. Decanters and water bottles
often get discolored. but a soft cloth
guided by a wire will generally re-
move the sediment When this is OBJ
stinate, bits of paper with shot and
strong soap suds will do the work.
Beans are sometimes used instead OF
shot. Glass that is ornameated with
gold should be washed with CASTLE
or a good white soap-that is, suds-
and should be wiped as dry as posi-
BILE. All fine glass should be kept in
closed cabinet and handled very lit
tie. A damp place is not advisable for
glass, especially that with gold deco
rations.-Mary Graham in Woman

EFFECTIVE TABLE COVERS.

Particularly effective for table COW
ers is the new improved Java or Aida
canvas, which comes in very harmo-
mons colorings and graceful designs.
The material being reversible, varie-
ty in the color may be introduced by
using alternately the front or back. Is
one example the pure white ground Is
strewn with large lilies or dahlias and
FOLIAGE woven with spring green, while
streaks of this tender color form a
kind Of fretting all over the back
ground. says the Brooklyn Eagle. The
green parts representing the pattern
are filled with cross-stitch, or, newer
still, solid embroidery in lovely natur-
al tints, mostly wrought In lustrine or
any other glossy thread as a substi-
tute for silk. However, mere outlin-
ing will be found sufficient by many,
while others still frequently use the
material as it comes from the manu-
facturer. Huge flowers are more strik-
ing when well shaded and relieved with
Japanese gold. Ivory work could be
utilized to cover the damask band OF
other table covers in khaki shades,
now in favor.

are occasionally found, and turkey buzz

years it has been used for trading pur-

We hear the most alarming antici-
pations about the health of the King.
The report is going about everywhere,
and it finds some sanction in the fact
that the king has lost within COM
paratively short space of time broth
er and a sister from the fell disease
which, according to popular rumor, he
believes to be threatening his own
life. Three of the late Queen Victoria
children died during Victorias life
time, and one other, the late Queens
eldest daughter, widow Of the late Ger
man Emperor Frederick, died only
few months after the death of her
mother An interesting article which
have just been reading in the Dub
lin Freeman's Journal, the leading
newspaper of Ireland, insists that one
main cause of the illnesses which at
present affect so many royal houses in
Europe is to be found in the fact that
the sovereigns of Europe have dis
regarded the great law of nature
which disturbances the marriages
of near blood relations" The article
goes on to tell us that while there
are in Europe over a score of emper-
ors, kings, and minor reigning sover
eigns all but two ar, desc md
ants of James l. of England, the only
child Of the marriage of Darnley and

Longfellow has made the Luck of

which carries the fate of another noble
English family. But there are other in
animate objects which are believed to
exercise an influence over the peerage
besides the pear and the Luck" To be

needs family ghost and family mas
cot or a hoodoo-it doesn't matter
which. The modern crop of family
ghosts and mascots is not at all equal
to the demand and are not of much ac-
count anyway. Who cares for mod

plug hat and swaliowtail coat Is simply
ridiculous, but one in armor Is more
to be desired than pearls and rubies.
The Countess of Cromartie recently

reminder of a legend connected with
her family. According to this legend,
If certain stream on the family es-

property would fail to descend in the
direct line of succession A short time
ago, while some alterations were being
made, the course of the stream in ques-
