Care of Cut Glass.
From the Kansas City Star.


With proper care cut glass should keep
its purity for a hundred years. This can
not be done, however, if it is carelessly
washed in greasy dish water or if exposed
to extreme heat and cold Cut glass articles
require much more care during the process
of washing than those made of plain glass,
because of the unequal thickness of the
glass, which makes it expand and shrink
irregularly.
Warm water, the best CASTLE or other
pure soap and a stiff brush are the first
essentials. Wash carefully in good suds
and brush thoroughly through all the cut
tings Rinse the glass off in clear water
of the same temperature and set to drain.
After five minutes put in box OF box
wood sawdust, filling all the cuts. This
will absorb the moisture in the cuttings.
Let it stand ten or fifteen minutes, then
give it another brush through the cuttings
with dry brush or a soft cloth. Wipe
inside and out with lintless linen cloth.
By following these directions the origi-
nal sparkle and cleanliness of the glass will
be maintained.
Shot should not be used in carafes,
cruets, decanters, oil bottles, toilet and
similar articles 1t is apt to scratch.
Plain everyday potato parings are the best
cleansing agencies that can be employed.
Let them remain in the glassware over
night and then rinse out in tepid water.
When there are no stains sponge, fastened
to the end of stick, will be found useful
to wipe the inside of the ware. In wash
ing cut glass put folded towel i'll the bot
tom of the dishpan, unless you have one
of the cedar tubs.
To distinguish between the genuine hand
cut glass and that where the pattern is
bitten out by immersion in u corrosive liquid
look at the cutting. A greasy shading be-
traying dullness is never seen in reputable
handwork

"The pearl was concealed in a piece of

'Its owner was rich merchant from
Ceylon, whose servant l am. He was
taking the pearl to sell to great rajah in
Punjab.'
"Oh, holy one, the sahibs are some

Therefore you came as juggler to

the pearl?'
"Then my master has hired four bad
maches with lathis, and they will come in

take away the pearl by force. y

Through mem'ry they are Ginning still, those
| bells of long ago,
With undulating tones that like peaceful
river flow;
At twilight when 1 sit alone beside my win
dows here,
They come like voices from the past in ca,
dence sweet and clear,
Those village bells, those slvery knells,
hear them sounding soft and low,
Those bells of long ago.
IT'S Sabbath evening soft with June, how
mellow is the sky;
The bird to seek its quiet nest on weary wing
goes by.
The rose that opened to the morn and blushed
to see its light,
Droops now, and hides the dewy kiss of ma.
ture's fond good night,
O, peaceful Sabbath knells, what love your
echo tells;
Sweet doth your music flow,
Dear bells of long ago.
Another picture comes to view, a joyous and
bright;
see gay and happy throng in concourse OF
delight.
They're marching to the little church, shy
miss and bashful swain,
While friends with blossoms strew their path
it is a marriage train.
Glad wedding bells, their cadence swells
In sweetest tones that hearts may know,
Love bells of long ago.
But now there comes sadder scene that ln-
gers through the years;
To touch the heart with sorrow pang and fill
the eyes with tears.
A grave is in the churchyard made, and,
though the earth be fair.
One who was more than dear to me ut sleep
is resting there.
O. plying bells, It's hope that tells
Heavens message in your peaceful flow,
Sweet bells of long ago.
