the timepiece the other day he took it
to Mr.. Lompshire, who lives on Bel

had been rusted off and the works
we're in bad condition from dampness,

watch and chain to his daughter, who
is now Mrs. Eveline Buckland, the

WASHING KNIVES RIGHT.

Never put the handle of knives in
to the water, for thus the handle
would be discolored and the blade
loosened. INSTEAD, dip each blade in
to hot water with soda and dry

to have a large tin or basin
with a tin or wooden cover. In
the cover slits are cut, through which
the blades Of the knives pass to the
water, while their handles rest on
the top.
