HOW TO CLEAN METALS.
Useful Suggestions Which Should
Find Prominent Place In the
Household Scrap book.

To clean brasses quickly and eco
nomically, rub them well with vinegar
and salt of oxalic acid. Wash imme-
diately after the rubbing and polish
with tripoli and sweet oil. Unless the
acid is washed off the thing will
tarnish so quickly its last estate will
be worse than its first. Copper ket-
ties and saucepans, brass andirons,
tenders, candle-sticks and trays are
best cleaned with vinegar and salt.
Cooking vessels in constant use need
only to be well washed afterward.
Things for show-even pots and pans
need the oil polishing, which gives
q deep, rich yellow luster good for
six months. OXalic acid and salt is
the thing for furniture brasses-if it
touches the wood around it only inn
proves the tone. Wipe the brasses
well with a wet cloth and polish thor
oughly with oil and tripoli. Some
times powdered rotten stone does bet
ter than tripoli. Rub after using,
either with a dry cloth or leather, un-
til there is no trace of oil. No matter
what sort of brass is to be cleaned it
must be freed completely from grease,
caied dirt and CRIME. Wash with
strong ammonia suds and rinse dry
before beginning with the acid and
salt.
The best treatment for wrought
steel, which has knacS of growing
gray, lusterless and ill-looking, is to
first wash it very clean with a stiff
brush and ammonia soap suds, rinse
well, dry, by heat if possible, then oil
plentifully with sweet oil and dust
thickly with powdered quicklime. Let
the lime stay on two days, then brush
It off with a clean, very stiff
brush. Polish with softer brush and
rub with cloths until the luster comes
out. By leaving the lime on, iron and
steel may be kept from rust almost in
definitely.
Before wetting any sort of bric-a-
brac, and especially bronzes, remove
all the dust possible. The less dust
water finds about fine lines and cram
nies the less it can leave there. After
busting, wash well in strong white
soap suds and ammonia, rinse clean,
polish with just a suspicion of oil and
rotten stone and rub off afterward
every trace of the oil. Never let acid
touch a bronze surface, unless % eat
and pit it for antique effects.-Emily
Holt, in ST. Louis Globe-Democrat.

"Then," said the philosopher, when

the cool evenings, along the broad ave-

FOREIGN GOSSIP.

In a single year the French police
expel over 1000 foreigners from
France. OF these about 1900 are
Sraniards, 1900 Belgians and 500 Ger
mans.
The number of emigrants who left
Italy in 1900 was 153,209. OF these
only 1886 went to America. Austria
got 44,916 on them, Germany, 1895;
France, $4,000; Switzerland, 27,129.

A wine dealer in Malaga is about

Recent statistics show that the
average expense of living in Norway,
including the entire population, men.
women and children, is 100 kroner
per capita, or about $32 year,
cents per day.
The feudal system never existed
in Norway. The peasants have al
ways maintained their right to ac-
quire property, and have enjoyed
greater freedom than the same class
anywhere else in Europe. This has
prevented the accumulation of land
in large estates.
The oldest authentic specimen of
the bagpipe now in existence is be-
lieved to be that now in possession
of Messrs. j. &. II. Glen, of Edin-
burgh, which bears the date 400.
1t is very much the same as the
Highland bagpipe of the present
day. except that it wants the large

Utopia is now known to be located
AT Orsa, in Sweden. The community
has, in course of a generation, sold
81 100000 worth of trees and by
means of judicious replanting has
provided for similar income every
30 or 40 years. In consequence of
this commercial wealth there are no
taxes.
The entire area of Norway is about
$4,000 square miles. Of this GA per
cent. is rocks, bare mountains, gla-
ciers and permanent snow and ice.
Twenty-one per cent. is standing tim.
ber, per cent. is bogs, Z per cent.
pasture, while only about 3 per cent.
is arabic land. Nevertheless, in spite
of this small area there are 10000
farms by the last census, owned by
100000 different farmers.

SUMMER HATS FOR HORSES.
In the Opinion of Expert Vetcrinari-
ans They Do More Harm
Than Good.

Fantastic summer hats for horses
were never more prevalent than they
are to-day. There is a mistaken no.
tion that they are a boon to the ami.
mails. To jam this particular style
of headgear upon horses head, al.
ready protected by a natural topnot,
is in most instances only making the
animal more susceptible to the heat,
says the New York Mail and Ex.
press.
According to the best veterinarians,
the spinal column is the part of the
anatomy most sensitive to the suns
rays, and a horse with light cover.
ing over his back can work two hours
to the "hatted" horses one. The av.
evage horse would, in their opinion,
be a great deal better off in the sum.
mer time if his considerate owner left
off protecting his head and simply
exercised the ordinary precaution Of
resting him now and then in the
shade.
Many men use the poorest sort OF
Judgment in the methods they employ
to relieve horses from heat The So.
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals does not approve of the
sponge, because, in nine cases out OF
ten, it is only dampened once in the
morning and for the rest of the day
absorbs the heat and centers it upon
the horses head. To shower a horse,
and then allow the thick topIlnot to
dry out until it becomes a stiff shell
oh 81, -
is Of more injury to horse in 80
minutes than if he worked two hours
in the sun without any protection or
rest.
Farmers laugh at the two-storied
awnings, felt protectors and straw
hats which the city horses are made
to wear They have found that the
exercise of little common sense in
caring for horse is worth a hun
dred artificial safeguards. 1t is very
seldom one hears of prostra tions
among farm horses, although they
work from day to day in the open
field where the sun beats down
fercely.
The hat fad has only been in ex-
istence here since 1897, when it was
introduced from Paris. In the opin-
ion of many it will pass away, as did
the ear tassels and fly nets so preva-
lent in the early SOS, and the trous-
ers and overalls as protection from
flies and mosquitoes in 1878.
According to the best authorities,
the drivers of 25 and 80 years ago,
who stretched an awning from the
wagons to the horses collars, had the
right principle for protection against
the heat. The horses head was never
covered and prostration was then
the exception and not the rule.

OBEYED THE MANDATE.
Nebraska Republicans Ask Gov. Saw.
age 10 Put ex-Treasurer hartley
Back In Prison and He Does SO.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 29.-Ihe ticket:
Justice of Supreme Court-Samuel
II. Sedgewick, of York county.
Regents of the UJiversity-Carl j.
Ernst, of Lancaster; H. L. Goold, of
Keith
Republicans of Nebraska, in state
convention yesterday, after night of
conflict and Il morning of uncertain
ty, nominated the above ticket, adopt
ed a platform in harmony with party
policies and made a new record for
industry in the disposal of business.
The action of Gov. Savage in parol-
ing from the penitentiary eN-State
Treasurer Joseph S. BARLEY, fur
nished the only real excitement OF
the convention.
Supporters of the governor sue
ceeded in having all resolutions re-
ferred to a committee without debate
and the committee in return reported
against parole and while not impugn-
ing the motives of the governor, de-
manded the return of the eX-treasur-
er to the penitentiary, ami was sus-
tanned.
The final chapter of the release of
eX-State Treasurer Barley came late
last evening when Gov. Savage, fol-
lowing the action of the republican
state convention, cancelled the parole
of the ex-treasurer, surrendered him
to the sheriff of the county and or
dered his return to prison.
The governor said he had intended
from the beginning to send Mr.. Bart
ley back to prison at the expiration
of the 60-day parole, if he did not
comply with the conditions of his
release, which he thus far had failed
to do. He simply FASTENED the ac-
ton, he said, because public senti-
ment seemed to demand it.
