TO CLEAN BRASS GOODS.

Brass tea kettles, or in fact, any ar
ticle of brass, with the exception of
Benaros ware, can easily be cleaned
in the following way: First wash the
brass well in slds made of equal parts
of ammonia and water with soap. This
will remove all dirt from the article,
leave it free from grease, and give it
a semi-polish. Then an extra polish
may be put on with good brass pol

Women's Education In America.

Women's Education In America.
One cannot be long in the United
States without being impressed with
the fact that women take a very great
share in the commonwealth. Almost
every profession seems open to them.
The self-reliant spirit instilled into
the American girl at school makes her
eager to adopt a career which shall
make her dependent and able to hold
her own against the odds of life. On
leaving the high school, at the age of
Is or 10, the majority of girls enter
one or other of the numerous colleges
dotted all over the United States.
Their parents, who, so far have not
been called upon to pay anything for
their education, can well afford to
put the ornamental facing to the ed
ucational edifices. The expense is
not so great as in our colleges for
women in England. The minimum
amount payable for fees for board and
tuition in these colleges varies from
ESQ to ESQ per year. The four
years course is looked forward to by
the girls with great pleasure. Names
are entered at Vassar and Bryn Mawr
as the case may be, long before the
time for entrance comes, and careers
are being planned out in busy brains.
In New England and the eastern
states are found more colleges exclu-
sively for women. In the West they
are chiefly co-educational. vassar,
Bryn Mawr, Smith, Wellesley and
Mount Holyoke are the chief colleges
tor women.-By one of the Mos ely
