Cleaning Glass.

A small paint brush with long,
strong, supple brist1es is the best thing
with which to keep cut glass free Of
dust. It is the only means Of reach
ing the dust which only lodges in
the small carvings. To wash cut
glass use borax in the water, and the
result will be sparkling, shining
receptacle that will glisten as brilliant
ly as it did when new. If cruet
bottle has become stained with vine
gar sediment, or a vase with sed1-
ment from flowers, or any other piece
Of glass which it is hard to reach in
to to wash, chop up raw potato
(peeled) and put it into the bottle
with sufficient water or suds to just
cover the potato; leave it for several
hours, giving an occasional shaking;
empty and rinse we'll; if necessary
repeat Results will be pleasing.

friend, and do not expect to be the
only one owning corner in her
heart Be as considerate of her fee1S
ings as if she were stranger, and
remember that po1iteness is an every
day garment, and not one intended
only for high days and holidays To
sum it up in one sentence, preserve
the courtesy of the beginning to keep
your friendship to the end.

Good Suggestions.

A reader has sent good sugges-
ton regarding the use of jardiniers
for plant flowers. She has found, like
countless others, that the jardinier
is not the right receptacle for plants,
since it excludes the air, and usually
the dampness moulds the doilies and
ruins the tabourettes By placing a
quantity of pebbles in the bottom of
the jardinier, it acts as drainage,
and the flower is not injured in the
jardinier. She also states she keeps
a supply of fve-cent brushes on her
kitchen shelf with which to clean
vegetables, graters and other kitchen
articles at the sink She finds the lit
tie brush invaluable in cleaning graf
ers, and the work is speedily done.

Taking Boarders.

Many women left in the world to
make a living turn to the task Of
keeping boarders While this is not
remunerative unless one has num-
Der Of persons in the house, at least
it means having home, and if a
woman has children she manages to
keep a home for them in this man
ner Yet it is surprising how little
the vast majority of women know
about taking stranger into the home.
A woman should ask for references,
and she should know that the refer
ences come from reliable persons. She
has the perfect right to make any
necessary inquiries and ask for the
first weeks money in advance. She
should never ask a person if they are
willing to occupy the room with some
one else. If the room is large enough
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-03-20

for two persons, state the fact, and
the boarders will let you know their
preference. AS rule, single rooms
are the most desirable for rent A
woman boarder should be given the
privilege of the parlor one day in
the week for her callers; more than
that she should pay for the use Of
same. Do not promise a stranger
home privileges until you are safe
in doing so; it leads to considerable
embarrassment at times One must
be as cautious in taking strangers in
to the home as the boarder is in seek
ing a home There is responsibility
on both sides.

Courteous Friends.

If you want to keep a friend do
not get too intimate with her Have
your own thoughts, and permit her
to have hers. Do not demand too
much of her in the way of confidence
and do not be too aggressive, wanting
to know why she does not do the
same thing as you do If you think
your friends style of dress is not
beautiful, do not tell her. You only
offend her, because deep in her heart
she is convinced that she knows a
great deal more about it than you do
Do not find fault with your friends

Patterns From Spreads.

The inspiration for the embroidery
patterns worked upon an unusually
pretty shirt waist came from an old
fashioned bedspread. The girl who
made it happened to see a quaint,
conventiona1ized flower spray which
was part Of the rather complicated
design of the spread, and straightway
the idea seized upon her to transfer
it.
A pencil and bit of prepared paper
made the tracing easy, and the clever

For a Greasy Skin.

Distilled water is far better than
the ordinary kind for greasy skin
and all others. An ounce of dried
rose leaves in half pint of vinegar
left to stand on them for a week,
then adding rose water, is good re-
medy. Wash the face with a table
spoonful of this in distilled water and
it will prove effcacious on the greas-
lest skin.

 John Marz has laid the founda- tions for four-family house on Clark street.
 One of the sure signs that spring has come was the sound of the hurdy gurdy in Brooklyn this morning.
 John Mahaney, the owner of the celebrated lunch cart on South Leon- ard street, was in New Haven yes terday on business. Some one was heard to say that he went looking for a first class chef.
 It appears as though the All Brooklyn polo team will win the anna teur league cup, that is if the league remains in existence until the end of the season. If the league should dis band Brooklyn will in all probability get the cup at any rate, as they are now and are likely to stay leading the league. There was a rumor around this morning that Benedict & Burnhams have decided to drop out and as the Rogers brothers declared their intention of quitting last eve ming, these two teams, with the clock shop which has already left the league would have three quintets still in the race, All-Brooklyn, Con- pany G and the Hamilton Park teams. It was thought at one time that the Benedict & Burnham five would win the pennant, but couple of their players signified their inten- tion of not participating in any more games. consequently it is stated that the other members will throw up the sponge George Mulligan is in all probability out of the game, while Lew Walker is tired of the amateur sport. The preliminary contests have been very interesting and it is to be regretted that the teams are dropping out of the league.
 One of the strangest freaks ever seen in this section. and one which had it lived would have brought a good price to it's owner, as it would make an excellent exhibit for some side show, was the calf owned by Hans Rasmussen which died yester-
 
 which was from Holstein, had only one nostril and had face and head exactly like bulldog. Because of having only one nostril which was almost in the calf's mouth, the ami mal was unable to breathe and, much to the disappointment of the owner died after a two days existence. The only reason Hans can account for the freak is that the mother of the COW was chased by bulldog, as there are numerous dogs in that locality. It was the intention of the owner to have several photographs of the freak taken but the death of the animal came so quickly that none was snapped But MT Rasmussen cut off the head, as some of his friends wish to take pictures of it. It is certainly an odd looking affair and one would have to see it to realize the striking resemblance it bears to the features of bulldog. In speaking about freaks, Hans said the greatest one he ever saw was in Naugatuck one year at the meeting of agricultural societies. when doctor from South Norwalk had COW which was won- der. It had the head of hippopota- mus. the ears of a dog, the legs of pig and the body itself was that of COW.

COWELL AVENUE
Suggestion Made By Monsignor Slocum Regarding Dublin St.

Monsignor Slocum suggests that the difference over the name of Dub- lin street be settled by calling 1t Cowell avenue. The mOnsignor was very much pleased with the splendid tribute paid to the early Irish settlers of Waterbury in the Democrat of yes- terday by Judge Coweli, and thinks that if the street Is to have a new name it would be graceful compli- ment on the part of the descendants of the first settlers of that thorough fare to name it for the man who knew their fathers and mothers and is willing to come forward at this day and tell us the kind of men and women who came here from Ireland sixty Or seventy years ago and helped build up the town. Judge C0well himself is former resident of Dub lin street and has large interests in that district.

CITY NEWS.

Many of the pupils of St Mar garet's school left to-day to spend the Easter vacation at their homes.
 Daniel ]. Delaney, former resi- dent of Waterbury, died last night at his home in Ansonia, where he had been engaegd in the liquor business for some time past. He leaves wid- ow and one son, also his father, John Delaney of this city, and brother John, who is now one here from Salt Lake City. Mir Delaney was born on Pine street forty-nine years ago in the house next to the residence of Timothy Keefe. There were several members in the family. but nearly all of them have long since been called away. The deceased was a member of Company c. C. x. G.. and was mus tered out after five years service with an honorable record. He was well and favorably known among a wide circle of acquaintances in this town, all of whom will regret to hear of his death. although it appears that many of them were expecting it for several weeks. Mir Delaney was one of the organizers of the Derby lodge of Elks and was we'll known in the order all over the state.

HOUSE WAS RAIDED
Spectacle Furnished For People
 at NO0ntime To-Day.

The lower part of Union street fur nished little excitement to-day dur ing the noon hour when house at No 45 was raided and four of the in- mates brought to the police station, one of whom Nora Nolan was charged with keeping a house of ill fame, the others, James Ward, Nellie Casey and Isabella Ward were charged with intoxication and fre- quenting house of i'll fame. The raid was made by Officers Erickson and Mullings.
 Judging from the noise that came from the house in question, the par ty was making merry all morning, but were not disturbed until their revelry took the form of ''rowdy house, and then there was nothing to it but the breaking up of the group. which was enjoying the Bac- chanalian affair and giving the par ty a ride i'll one of the most com fortables vehicles in the city.
 The police have been watching the house and it was only question of time when they would raid it.
 It is said to be a filthy hole and the sight that met the eyes of tine officers when they entered the place this noon was enough to make Off cers Erickson and Mullings turn away in disgust.
 As the people were on their way 10 work when the police put in an ap- pearance large crowd watched the proceedings.

MOTORMAN RAN ON.
Paid No Attention When Signalled
 By Officer to Stop.

That at least one motorman on the trolley cars has very little respect for the law was exemplified one evening during the week, when one of the To- cal police officers endeavOred to board car on East Main street near Rutledge street. but was almost run down by the man at the motor. There was no excuse for the motOrman not knowning who the person was, as he had on his uniform and signalled the car when it was some distance away from him.
 It was thought that the motorman would be arrested as it is a misde- meanor for a motorman to pass a pa- trolman when the latter has signalled for the car to stop.
 During this week also, another po- liceman was passed, but he declared that he knew the motorman well and the latter beckoned to him that there was another car coming.
 Int reason why those who wit messed the. first incident thought that the motorman would be arrested was because the officer was knocked down and might have been seriously in- jured. but as no report of the incl dent was reported to the superintend- ent. 1t Is not likely that any action will be taken.
