OIL PAINTINGS.
With q Little Care They May Easily
Be Cleaned.

With q Little Care They May Easily
Be Cleaned.
Many good picture that has looked
dark and dirty for years from having
been exposed to the dust can easily be
cleaned and freshened in very SIM
pie way. The picture should be taken
from It's frame and busted carefully
with a soft cloth. Peel large potato
and cut it in half, go over the whole
picture with a sponge that has been
dipped in tepid water, then with the
fat side Of the potato rub the surface
of the picture with a light circular
movement, being careful not to press
too heavily on the canvas. The potato
will soon begin to loosen the dirt and
the colors underneath will begin to
show brighter. When all the stains
and dirt have been removed the pic
ture should be sponged again in warm
water, care being taken to wash OF
any starch that may have been left
from the potato.
In case the picture is badly cracked
as little water as possible should be
used, as it is apt to ooze under the
paint and do some injury.
Many oil paintings are injured by the
dampness from the walls on which
they are hung. The dampness Is apt
to cause the canvas to decay, and
there are few canvases made to resist
its attacks. To prevent this particular
form Of decay the back Of the canvas
should be painted when perfectly dry
with white lead.

CHlRSCHMUS.
A Swiss Dainty That Is Made OF PTe-
served Cherries.

A Swiss Dainty That Is Made Of Pre-
served Cherries.
Last summer I ate genuine Swiss
chirschmus twenty years old. 1t tasted
like a concentration Of all the richness
and sweetness Of the most perfect
cherries. In appearance it was pur-
plish black mass. Age had not impair
ed it in the least.
Upon inquiry I learned how this
cherry concoction, with its wonderful
preserving quality, is made. The cher
ries used must be perfect-very large,
ripe, juicy black ones and, above all,
very sweet.
The Juice of them pressed out and
strained through bag is put in q
large preserving kettle, at the bottom
of which is placed piece Of smoked
pork fastened to block Of wood. Ihe
wood serves as q weight to keep the
fat down and prevent the juice from
burning as it thickens.
The cherry juice is boiled for about
tHenty-four hours without sugar, put
stirred from time to time unLI II
becomes a mass of sweetness so hrn
and thick that it would not fall if the
kettle were inverted.
That is all, simple process, but the
result is delicious. This chirschmus is
in general use in Switzerland with the
"susse anke' (sWeet butter) and bread.

THE GAME OF DRAUGHTS.
So Old That Its Origin Is Lost In thu
Eists OF Antiquity.

So Old That Its Origin Is Lost In the
Mists OF Antiquity.
Draughts in some shape or form is
doubtless very ancient pastime. In
deed, the safest thing to say about it Is
that its origin is lost in the mists Of an
tiqutty. Representations Of persons
playing at game resembling draughts
are frequently found on ancient Egyp-
tan monuments at least 5000 years
old. The Greeks had similar game,
from whom possibly it passed to the
Romans. At least the old Roman game
Of latruncuH seems to have been kind
Of draughts, though 1t is doubtful II the
game as now played is very ancient
The game was popular and we'll known
In Franco and Spain in the seventeenth
century and was probably played there
and in England centuries before that
That it was from France the game
came into many Of the other countries
is evident from the fact that the French
name-jeu de dames-passed with 1t.
Dam or damme. was once the regular
English name for one Of the pieces. In
Germany the game is still called dame
spiel, in Holland the board is dambord,
and In Scotland dambrod still survives.
In the United States the less usual
name Of chequers, spelled checkers, is
employed. Polish, Spanish. italian and
Turkish draughts .are varieties Of the
same game The Polish game which
has several peculiarities, was intro
duced in Paris in 1923 and was at first
played on a board Of 100 squares with
20 men.-Chambers Journal.

GOOD CHEER AT MEALS.
The Value OF Laughter as an Aid to
Digestion.

The Value OF Laughter as an Aid to
Digestion.
Nothing else will take the place OF
good cheer and laughter at meals or
any other time in the home. There Is
a vital connection between amiability
and digestion-between good cheer and
assimilation. Laughter is the best
friend the liver has and depression or
melancholia its worst enemy. Nurer-
Gus experiments have shown that mirth
and cheerfulness stimulate the secre-
ton Of the gastric juices and are pow
erful aids to digestion. Yet, knowing
this, many Of US sit as gloomy and alb
sorbed at the table as at a funeral.
In many homes scarcely word IS
spoken at meals outside Of requests for
an article Of food.
The meal hour ought to mean some
thing besides supplying mere animal
function The bell which calls the
family to the table ought to be the sig

SPlRITUALiSM.

World OF Science.

ITS Manifestations as Viewed by the
World OF Science.
Spiritualism is the successor Of the
medieval occultism and Of the older
magic. Today science, without accept
ing its manifestations, studies them,
and In these troubled waters almost
all the facts upon which the new meta
physics is founded have been fshed
up. Like magnetism, it has drawn the
attention Of physicians to the phenon-
ems Of induced sleep and has given
many Of the data for the study Of hyp-
nosis and suggestion. The mediums,
who believe, like the ancient python
esses, that they are possessed by for
eign spirits, have served for the study
Of the change Of personality and telep-
athy. And it has shown that the prod
igies, diabolic and divine, recorded in
all early religions were not SO fabu-
lous as the critical fancied. At all
events science admits that there is a
force call 1t psychic as Crookes does,
neuric with Baretz, vital with Bara-
due or the odic force of Reichenbrach
"a force which can be measured and
described, which leaves its mark on
the Photographic plate, which emanates
from every living being, which acts at
a distance, which saves or destroys.
Plato knew it. Great wizards like Car
dan made use Of 1t. The charlatans

In Many Towns It Has Become the
Great Social Center.
The lodge has become the social CEN
ter Of many a town. 1t IS so to q
greater degree perhaps in the west
than in the east. On the plains dis
tances between population centers are
greater, the ties Of old family acquaint-
ance are lacking, the fraternal order is
the one thing that knows no barrier OF
wealth or position. The fact that many
Of the orders admit men and women to
their membership on the same terms
adds to the strength Of the social
claim; it also brings about odd situa-
tons.
"I am going downtown tonight" re-
marked q country town banker one
evening to his wife. "The lodge meets

response, "for Anna" (their one serV-
