How to Renovate Mating

In taking up mating the tack heads
sometimes leave circles of rust. When
the mating is to be turned this does
not make much difference, but if you
wish to remove rust stains have in
readiness some muriatic acid, dry
cloths, hot iron, a sponge. a bowl Of
boiling water, an old nailbrush and a
bucket or two of cold water Cover
The spot with white paper and place a
hot iron upon it. When the spot is
we'll heated dip in the acid and apply
to the spot. This will turn it vivid
yellow. Then dip the brush into the
boiling water and very quickly apply
it to the spot. Sponge off with cold
water Several applications will be re-
euired to correct the effect of the acid,
which is very strong. Be careful only
to touch the stain, as the acid will
spread If given chance

How to Mend n Saucepan.

Has a tiresome little hole appeared
ia the bottom of your best porcelain
lined or agate saucepan? Don't throw
4 aBay-the saucepan, that is-but just
take one of those round headed paper
dips such as stenographers, lawyers
and teachers use to keep sheets of man
Hscrlpts together, push the two ends
through the hole, bend them back fat
against the outside, hammer the head
down fat upon the inside, and there
you are.

Pokine Fun at Massachusetts,.

The Philadelphia Inquirer has lots of
gall-enough, in fact, to poke fun at
venerable Massachusetts, which it does
in this editorial about Benjamin Frank
lin:
Representative Adams wants congress
to appropriate comfortable sum to cele-
brate the two hundredth anniversary of
the birth of Ben Franklin. So say we all
of us. Here is a man who ought to be
honored by the world regardless of race
color or any condition whatever, the man
who was the first citizen of the colonies
and long the first citizen of the republic
without whose wonderful tact and sa-
gacity the constitution could neither have
been framed nor adopted. If this country
owes honors to any man more than an
other outside of Washington, it certainly
is to Franklin, the scientist philosopher
diplomatist and sage, who, in the happy
language of the Frenchman, tore the
lightnings from the heavens and the scep-
ter from the hand of the tyrant'' De-
lightful but not exactly correct
Franklin was born in Massachusetts
which was his chief misfortune, and he
early in life remedied it as best he could
And he was also born on a Sunday, which
was in many parishes of Massachusetts
infamy for the babe and a. crime on the
part of the parents He survived the
shadow which hung over him and achiev-
