A simple method OF cleaning silver
plate is the old fashioned one where
rouge powder is used. First be care
full that the silver is perfectly clean.
1t should be washed thoroughly in hot
soap suds to remove all trace of grease.
Dry 1t and rub carefully with a paste
of whiting and water This will re-
move all tarnish spots After the paste
has dried and been rubbed off rub the
silver with the rouge powder wet to
a paste with a little warm water In
few minutes, or as soon as it is dry,
polish the silver vigorously with a
clean chamois. 1t will not be necessary
to polish silver in this way oftener than
once a MONTH provided the silver is
kept clean with hot soap and water,
thoroughly rinsed and wiped dry each
time it is used. If the use Of patent
silver soaps and polishing fluids is once
begun 1t must be continued, and these
patent processes, which generally con
tain some acid, ultimately dull the
polish Of the silver. Do not use any
brush to clean silver except a plate
brush, purchased of a silversmith. 1t
is not stiff enough to scratch the metal
and will thoroughly clean out the in
,terstices of any chased OF craven work.

DRAWING Out the Mean Man .

Robert Carrick, one of the richest
bankers OF Scotland a few generations
ago, was as mean as he was wealthy.
Being one day visited by a deputation
collecting subscriptions towards a new
hospital, he signed for two guineas,
and one of the gentlemen expressing
disappointment at the smallness of the
amount, he said, Really, l cannot
afford more"
The deputation next visited Wilson,
one Of the largest manufacturers in
the city, who, on seeing the list, cried
what, Carrioz only two guineas"
When informed of what the banker
had said, Wilson replied:
"Wait; l will give him lesson"
Taking his check book, he filed in a
check for 100000, the full amount of
his deposit at Carrick's bank, and sent
it for immediate payment.
Five minutes later the banker APP
peared, breathless, and asked, What
is the matter, Wilson,"
Nothing the matter with me-" re-
piled Wilson; but these gentlemen
informed me that you couldn't afford
more than two guineas for the hospi-
tai Halloa! thinks I, if that's the case
there must be something wrong, and
I'll get my money out as soon as pos
sible."
Carrick took the subscription list
erased the two guineas, and substi
tuted fifty, on which Wilson immedi
ately tore up the check.-Tit-Bits.

examination, and among the ques.
tons propounded TO the hopefuls was
the following:
What are the five primary occupa.

The proper and authorized answer
is something like this: Agriculture

Adelaide, the twenty-footer owned by
Robert Nunnemacher of Milwaukee, hail

Steve Davis of Neenah, by winning two
races yesterday made a sweep of the Osh-
kosh regatta, being victor In all of the
three races and carrying off the two cups
that were offered.
The morning race, which was one dash
for the Felker challenge cup, was the
best of the regatta. The race was started
in very light wind. The first leg was
a dead beat to windward. Challenge lost
thirteen minutes in running the first two
miles. Then on a spinnaker run to the
next buoy she brought good breeze
down the line with her and picked UP ten
minutes. The last leg was broad reach,
and Challenge, Adelaide and Caroline
rounded within half minute. The wind
continued strong and the second turning
of the race was in record time. The ex-
citing finish was one of the closest and
most exciting ever seen on the lake. It
was a race all down the last stretch and
sometimes one boat appeared to have the
advantage and sometimes another.
Adelaide succeeded in getting around
fourteen seconds ahead of Challenge and
Challenge crossed thirteen seconds ahead
of Caroline.

John A. Drake made killing on his bay
gelding Conundrum, who finished second
yesterday at Saratoga in the sixth event,
selling race of seven furlongs. Like
most of the western horses brought to
Saratoga this year Conundrum was fit for
bruising contest. Mr.. Drake had the
utmost confidence in him and he went into
the betting ring prepared to bet all the
money the layers would take.
Joe Ullman was the first to engage Mr..
brakes attention. With him the fnancier
invested $4,000 on Conundrum to win,
against which Ullman laid s24,O0O; SO, 900
that he would come second, against which
the layer offered $4,000, and $4,000 at
even money that Conundrum would at
least come third. Mr.. Drake then went
down the line and worked diligently until
he had invested $4,000 on his horse, play
ing it across the board at 6. to 1, 2 to !

The American yacht Uncle Sam, of the
raceabout class, which was bought by En-
peror William from Francis R. Riggs, of
New York, after the boat had won the
emperor's gold cup at the international
regatta at Kiel has been overhauled and
turned over to the German navy. The
little yacht is to be used for practice in
learning how to best handle small craft.
The emperor knows the Germans do
not get as good results from their yachts
as do American and English yachtsmen.
He observed that the naval cadets at
Kiel were weak, and failed to make the
most of the Comets strong points. The
fact that the emperor had an English rae
ing crew aboard the Meteor, with four
teen picked German sailors as apprentices,
is another example of his belief that Ger
mans are not SO adept in handling rae
ing craft as might be desired.
