A lacQHerer's recipe for cleaning brass
that has been successfully tried by an
experienced housewife is to put the
brass articles in pan with sufficient
boiling water to cover them. first stir
ring in generous lump Of soda and
enough soap to produce strong lath-
er. Let the water reboil for q minute
or two after the brass has been put in,
see that the article Is well rubbed with
the soapsuds. then lift into another
pan and pour clean boiling water over
it. After sleeping for couple of min
utes in this rinsing water take out and
dry carefully. No subsequent rubbing
or polishing, it is claimed, should be
necessary. This method is advocated
for all kinds Of lacQuered goods and is
also recommended for ormolu.

IN TIME OF FIRE.
How Safety May Best BE Sought
Rules For Protection.

RIO" Safety May nCSt DC SOu8 nj
Rules For Protection.
Fire Chief Baxter and Building In.
spector Hill of Philadelphia have for.
INFLATED fire rules for the householder
telling what to do in case of fire and
how to prevent fires. The rules of
Chief Baxter follow:
In case Of fire first Of all sound the
alarm.
Close the door and open the windows.
A closed door is wonderful protection
against fame, and an open window lets
out the heat and the smoke.
Do not fear thick smoke too much.
A stairway that is a mass Of smoke is
not necessarily impossible. Go down
on your hands and knees: you will find
no smoke near the floor. Try to de
scend the stairway in this way, and in
nine cases out of ten you will descend
In safety Many have been burned to
death because they thought a smoke
filled stairway meant an impossible
one and because they did not know
that there is always plenty Of pure all
to breathe down near, the door.
II there is a skylight, break it open.
The smoke then will disappear through
the opening rapidly.
Should the fire have gained such
Roadway that all exits are blocked,
shut yourself in front room and lean
far out Of the window 80 that the fire
men may see you. Once they see you,
It is reasonably certain that they viii
rescue you.
Above all things keep cool. The ma
jority Of deaths from fire would have
been ayerted If the victims had not
lost their heads.
Inspector Hill gives these rules to
prevent fire: Do not put ashes in
wooden boxes or barrels. These wood
en- receptacles are frequent cause of
fire. In every kitchen and cellar there
should be an ash box of iron or tin.
Keep the cellar clear Of heaps OF
refuse-of old newspapers, rags and
broken wood.
Cobwebs on cellar beams and walls
should be carefully guarded against,
and every cellar should receive at least
once year complete coat OF white
wash or Of fireproOf paint.
Line all flues with terra Gotta.
Keep wood away from the chimneys
Where chimney lathing Is necessary
use lathing Of metal.
Never hang lace curtains near gar
Jets. Let your windows be bare Of
lace or else move your gas jets to an
other part Of the room. In private
houses there are few causes OF IRE
more frequent than lace curtains.

How to Bore Holes In Glass.

Ordinary glass not extra thick or
strong may have holes bored through
1t by the following method: Press a
disk of wet clay upon the glass and
make a hole through the clay of the
size desired. so that the glass is laid
bare. Then pour molten lead into the
hole. and lead and glass will drop out
at once. This method is based upon the
quick local heating OF the glass. where
by 1t sustains circular crack, the out
line OF which corresponds to the outline
OF the hole made in the clay.

When stitching chiffon or other thir

a to keep them in little closet by them
selves than to expose them on a shelf
in the kitchen. where they are sure to
collect dust. e
Stockings and socks should always be
washed before being worn, for then
the threads shrink and make the fabric
wear as long again.
p Creased ribbons or silk may be clean
ed by rubbing with French chalk or
magnesla and then holding the mate

Delicate coiored silks should never be
laid away in white paper, as the chic

Buttermilk is excellent for cleaning
sponges. Steep the sponge in milk for
some hours. then squeeze it out and
wash it in cold water Lemon juice is
also good.
Tubs will not warp or crack open II
precaution is taken to put pail of wa

A few drops of alcohol rubbed on the

all trace of greasy smoke when water
alone is of no avail
To keep soup let it remain covered
with a coating of fat. as it excludes the
air and helps to preserve the stock. II
the soup has no fat. use clarified drip
ping for the purpose.

SOME TIMELY ADVICE.

low to Avoid Pneumonia In Treating
Cold.
A cold neglected is the first step ir
acquiring an acute and dangerous pull
monary or bronchial disease, and cold
half cured is the straight and narrow
path which leads 10 pneumonia. Here
are few 'cOld don'ts" which every
home maker will do well to hang In
her medicine closet along with the di.
rections for first aid to the injured, says
the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
Don't dose yourself with quinine, an.
tikamnia, phenacetin or other standard
drugs without first consulting your
family physician. Many of these drugs
act directly on the heart and weaken
1t, so ttst there IS not sufficient vitality
left to fight the cold. 't .'f
Don't pin your faith on the remedy
which cured your next door neighbor.
He may have had a tendency to pleuri-
sy, while you may be headed for pneu-
monia
Don't rub camphorated oil or similar
lubricants on your chest unless you
cover it over with a flannel protector.
Lubricants of this sort open the pores
and aggrayate the cold unless the at
fected part is properly covered
Don't experiment with the cold water
cure unless you thoroughly understand
it. This is sometimes efficacious, but il
Improperly administered it is danger
GUS.
Don't experiment with poultices If
symptoms of pneumonia exist Flax
seed and bread and milk poultices
should be used only by trained nurse,
for if they are permitted to cool they
aggravate rather than relieve the dis
ease
Don't undertake the sweat process
before retiring unless you have proper
attendance. To soak the feet in hot
mustard water or to take sitZ bath
and then. stop to turn out the light or
trot around the room few moments
before getting into bed is to do more
harm than good. Have the bath right
beside the bed, the latter warm and
well supplied with blankets. Turn in
at once and cover up to the chin. Cold
sheets or draft will more than coun-
teract the effect Of the sweat.
If you use iodine, don't fail to have
glycerin mixed with 1t; otherwise you
will blister the skin. II you apply
mustard plaster, have white of egg or
-four mixed with 1t for the same rea-
son.

A BIT OF HISTORY.

The prominence of Mr.. Wadsworth as can
didate for Speaker of the Assembly has brought
forth in the press q considerable amount of mis-
information about his family and the early
annals of Western New-YOrk. just to preserve
the truth of history we may note that the
Wadsworths were not Colonial propretors and
did not acquire their large land holdings from
the British Crown. At the time of the Wads-
worth settlement in what is now Livingston
County the British Crown was not granting
titles in New-York State, and while it was yet
in that business the Genesee country was a
wilderness belonging to the IrOquois. General
Sullivan penetrated that region and destroyed
the Indian strongholds, but for some years
after the Revolution the only white settlers
were occasional trappers or Tory renegades. On
the grants Of Colonial charters Massachusetts
founded claims to all of Western New York
and the dispute was finally adjusted by treaty
through which New-York secured the sovereignty
Of the district, while Massachusetts obtained
the right of soil as private landowner. Massa-
chusetts then sold its claims to real estate

Norris, the great inancier of the Revolution.

All that part of the state from Pennsylvania

Genesee River was purchased from AIassa-
chusetts by Oliver Phelps and Nathaniel Cor
ham in 1856. They divided the tract made
Canandagua the headquarters OF a great land
company. and the titles in that part of Western
New-York are searched back TO the Phelps and
Gorham deeds. Robert Morris purchased the
larger part of the country west of the Phelps
and Gorham tract. but when he became involved
transferred the greater part Of it TO company
of Dutchmen, known as the Holland Land Com
pany. which established at Batavia its head
quarters. He kept for himself narrow strip
of land across the state between the Phelps
and Gorham and Holland purchases, and that
to this day is described in land titles as the

however. is considerably more detailed than
simple statement of the Golden Rule. 1t begins
in the elementary schools with precepts of nllai
nietv and brotherly kindness. In the next grade
come instruction and exhortation in the duties
of friendship, frugality, truthfulness' sen-re-

highest grade the moral duties of the individual

nrinciples of the loftiest patriotism. Such was
the system adopted fifteen years ago, and 1t VIII
not escape observation that the men who fought
so superbly in the late war had been educated
under that system. and at time when the
Emperor's words were fresh in mind and were
being put into effect with the proverblai Zeai OF
