How to Clean Cut Glass.

From the Berkshire hills comes the sand suitable for cut glass. Fine glass needs constant care, says the Ladies' World. A small quantity of muriatic acid may be poured into glasses that have become discolored. After allow ing the acid to remain short time fill up the glasses with water. They will soon become bright and clear. Potato parings may be utilized for cleaning glass to great advantage. Place the parings in a dish and allow them to remain four or five hours, then wash the dish with warm soapsuds. Wipe the dish. dry as soon as washed. A stiff brush may be used if dust has collected in the cut glass.

FALL GARDENING.
How to Prune Shrubs and Care For
 Towering Plants.

How to Prune Shrubs and Care For
 Towering Plants.
 In the fall gather up and remove all the debris which has collected in the flower beds. Cut down the dead stalks of the perennials and pull up what is left of the annuals and burn all refuse of this kind or bury 1t where it will decay and help to fertilize the soil of the garden, says the New York Trib- une.
 There may be no flowers in the win ter, but neatness should prevail where they have been. Store away flower stakes and trellises and give to all plants needed protection.
 Now is a good time to prune any shrubs which were neglected during the summer when they were making growth. If too thick, thin them out, so that the branches you leave may have room for healthy development. Remove all weak and injured wood. If the plant be awkward in shape, trim 1t to symmetrical form, but be sure of the character of your plant. Prune no shrub in the fall which blooms in spring from buds formed this season. Only plants which pro- duce flowers on a growth of branches made next spring should be pruned now.
 Cut the clematis to within two or three feet of the ground, lay on the ground what you leave and cover it well.
 Put manure about all herbaceous plants. It not only furnishes a sort of protection, but its fertilizing prop critics are set free by fall rains and are absorbed by the soil, to the ben eft of the plant. In spring what Is left can be dug into the soil.
 Plants in the window garden find this a critical season. Aim to keep the temperature of the room low and to give them all possible fresh air. Be careful about overwataring and use no fertilizer.
 Fuchsias will have completed their work for the season and should be dried off gradually to get them ready for the cellar, whither they should be taken by the 1st of December, to re- main until the 1st of March. Give less and less water while they remain up- stairs. If the foliage drops, the plants will not suffer. Plants out of doors drop their leaves In the autumn, so you are trying to treat them as nature treats them. Chrysanthemums should be treated likewise.
 All cracks and crevices must be closed at the windows where plants are to be kept as wise ounce of prevention against the entrance of frost.

How to Make Fest Fountain Pen Ink

Do not use ordinary writing Ink In your fountain pen, as it will corrode and render your pen useless unless cleaned very often. Take an old type writer ribbon, turn over it pint of hot water and let it stand day or so, stir ring frequently. Turn the ink thus made into q bottle. cork securely, and you have an ink which will flow freely and not corrode your pen. If the type writer ribbon had considerable ink on it you can thin your ink by adding more water after the first pint Is made.

There is no piece of furniture in the house that gives the lady of the house more anxiety than the piano, as It must not only be saved from scratches at the hands of careless servants, but 1t must also be kept from damp.

THE PAoNIA HIGH SCHOOL.

THE PAONIA HIGH SCHOOL.
There is no good reason why
we may not have here in Paonla
as good high school as any SIM
liar community in the country.
In view of the fact that it is eX-
ceedingly difficult and very ex-
pensive to send young people
away for their secondary training,
it would seem the part of wisdom
to maintain a first class high
school at home. Our young
people are worthy of the best,
many among them will make lead
ers in society if given all educa-
tion and the high school course
will discover many pupil to him
self and help him to decide his
life work.
The courses in the languages,
English. mathematics, history, and
science cannot fail to broaden
the mind and greatly enlarge the
pupils opportunities for service
to the community of his choice.
The high school is not now on the
fully accredited list and will not
be until the entire time of three
teachers is devoted to high school
work. The high school now num-
bers forty but the incoming class
for next year is very large and in
all probability it will be necessary
to employ another high school
teacher then. which should give
as a place on the list at once. In
fact the only thing that prevents
our having place on the list now
is the fact that we lack one teach
aer of meeting the minimum re-
puuirements of the Association. In
every other way we are in good
shape for small high school.
The present course is strong one
and any graduate will have no
trouble entering college. AS a
matter OF fact do not need any
more teaching force this year, the
high school being small it has
been possible to alternate and
combine classes, SO that two
teachers and the superintendent
can handle the work. Another
year the number of pupils will be
SO much larger that it will be nee
essary to maintain many more
classes and another teacher will
be a necessity if present stand
ards are to be maintained.
We are glad to state that the
character of the instruction now
being given in the Paonia High
school is unusually good. The
community and the pupils are
exceedingly fortunate in having
a high principal and an assistant
either of whom is amply qualified
to take charge of a city high
school.
In the writer's experience OF
eighteen years he has never
known a high school where the
teaching was of better quality
or where so large per cent o1
