HnNr 10 Glenn Jewels.

A sharp pointel implement should never be employed to clean rings, as il loosens the stones. says the Boston Traveller. Soak them in liquid ammo mia and the dirt will be loosened. Aft erward they should be polished with q soft cloth. If is a good plan to kerp rings in sawdust, as it enables the gems to retain their brilliancy. Warm water and little prepared chalk are all that are required to clean plain or chased rings. Toilet articles. vinai- grettes and other small t.inkets may be easily frightened without the use of powder by placing them in an alu- minimum receptacle and pouring boiling water over them. Polishing should be done by means Of a piece of clean chamois leather. but in adopting this treatment it must be remembered that the silver should never be allowed to become tarnishei.

How to Check Bleeding.

No special preparation is needed for this purpose, the pressure of q care fully cleansed finger being the best temporary device to stop bleeding, says the New York Tribune. This is true no matter how large the cut vessel may be. If there be more than one bleeding vessel, two or more fingers may be used, or the finger may be changed if tired. When bleeding is only moderate in amount or occurs from small arteries or large veins just beneath the skin, it can almost always be stopped permanently by firm pad of gauge bound over the wound with a bandage. Generally oozing of blood from small vessels may be stopped by the application of cold and heat. Cold may be applied by pouring ice water into a wound or by putting ice directly on the bleeding surface. Hot water at a temperature of 12O to 125 degrees r. acts by contracting the walls of the vessels and hastening the coagulation of the blood.

As a Socialist Sees 1t.

Every recognized authority on So- cialist economics, from Marx to Terri. has been and is an avowed economic evolutionist. They all without excep- ton recognize that public ownership under capitalism must come before the full Socialist programme can meet with realization.
 When the Socialist party shall sue ceed to power in municipality, state or nation it will fall heir to the holdings of its capitalist predecessors. Every dollars worth of property that we can wrest from private capitalism through public ownership will fall into the hands of the Socialist party without Q struggle lpon it's succession to power.- International Socialist Review.

HOW TO WORK RIGHTLY.

 Strain oc Toi,:2S.

Hints on Getting Relief From the
 Strain oc T5i2:2E.
 If any reader is conscious now of suffering from the strain of his work and would likc to get relief the first thing to do is to notice that it Is less the work that tires him than his way of doing it and the attitude of his mind toward it, says Lcslie's Monthly. Be ginning with that conviction, there comes first an interest in the process of dropping strain and then a new in- tereSt in the work itself, and healthy concentration in doing the merest drudgery as well as 1t can be done makes the drudgery attractive and re- lieves one from the oppressive fatigue of uninteresting monotony.
 If you have to move your whole body in your daily work. the first care should be to move the feet and legs heavily. Feel as if each foot weighed a ton, and each hand also, and while you work take long. quiet breaths, such as you see man taking when he is very quietly and soundly sleeping.
 If the work is sedentary. 1t Is help before starting in the morning to drop your head forward very loosely, slowly and heavily and raise it very slowly; then take long. quiet breath. Repeat this several times until you begin to feel a sense of weight in your head. If there is not time in tue morning. do it at night and recall tine feeling while you are dressing or while you are go- ing to work, and then during your work stop occasionally to feel your head heavy and then go on. Very soon you become sensitive to the tension in the back of your neck and drop it without stopping work at all.
 Long. quiet breaths while you work are always helpful. If you are work ing in bad air and cannot change the air, it is better to try to have the breaths only quiet and gentle and take long, full b-eaths whenever you arc out of doors and before going to sleep at night.

How to Use C,iannE Dish Lamp.
 The first time tho chnfIg dish lamp is used pour little alcohol into it. let it stand for few minutes and fill up. If the lamp gives out before the cook irg is finished, let the lamp cool little before refilling. as the igniting point of alcohol is low. Always have metal tray under the chafing dish. Never leave the alcohol bottle uncorked, as the fumes ignite very easily. If you have been careless i'll this regard and the contents of the bottle ignite, don't scream or faint or throw water on the flame. Simply clap your hand over the mouth of the bottle. This will extin- guish the flame at once. Use sherry sparingly in making lobster or crab Newburg. since alcohol has a toughen- ing effect on fish.

ARTISTIC FURNISHING.
How to Arrange For n Hall and Par
 Tor Combined.


 If the hall and parlor are practically one room they should be papered alike, and if expense is to be considered use n green felt paper. says the New York Herald No. 356 is a very good shade. This, with ivory paint and wicker fur nlture, will he yrry pretty. The cush- ions of the furniture should be covered with lowered chintz. The wicker fur niture should be stained n dull olive or a dead turquoise Elue. providing a chlntz could be found to harmonize with 1t, and also a floor covering of blues and greens. These are hard to find artist!cally blended.
 If a good combination of these colors cannot be found. q green felt, No. 392, which Is Il lighter shade of green than 35G. could be used instead. With it use n rug of plain green terry and sev- eral white skin mats on the floors. They are inexpensive and give quite an air of prosperity, besides being very pretty. Have curtains to the sash, a pair covering the woodwork for the window, with a tiny valance across the windows and curtains. These should be of the same chintz that the furniture Is covered with. Have well framed pictures on the wall in parlor and hall; the latter should have a tiny table and a chair of chestnut or oak stained green.
 Tan color would be pretty for a dining room with an old fashioned dresser, which would hold a quantity of china. iu place of a sideboard. The cups could be hung on little hooks and hang from the front of the shelves. By using such n piece of furniture 1t would not be necessary to buy a sideboard and a glass closet. as the lower part would hold the silver and glass and the upper part the china.
 If plate rail Is preferred then have tan felt paper on the ceiling and upper wall and have a foliage paper below the plate rail. with tan and green pre- dominating, with little red in the paper too. With this scheme a red and tan Moodj rug could be used; Q by 12 would be the size for this room, which would cost SIS. Plate railing can be bought for 1G cents a foot. stained to match the woodwork. and 1t is always an improvement
 The library should have the same green paper as the hall, the ceiling be- ing q warm cream between the beams. Mission furniture of rather light weight is preferable to massive pieces.

How to Dry an Umbrella.

The best way to dry an umbrella and to preserve it is to leave it spread on the floor or in the hall. When there Is not enough room to allow that, re verse the usual method and stand the umbrella in the corner with the handle down. The rain drips quicker off the points. The ordinary way collects all the water at one place, where the cloth dries slowly, and therefore rots the quicker Never put several wet umbrellas together in an umbrella stand.

Beeswax and turpentine polish for linoleum is hard to beat as far as its appearance is concerned, but it has one defect-it causes a slipperiness which may be very dangerous to children and old people.
