Polishing Glassware.

You have heard of many valuable
ways to clean glassware and give to
the pieces a desirable brilliancy, yet
here is method which is secret
and certain to give the best results.
Wash the glass pieces and drain until
dry, then coat each piece with mix
ture of half water and ammonia. When
dry brush the pieces with a soft bris-
tie brush. Be sure and use only the
bristle brush or the polish will not ap-
pear. This is excellent for glassware
of any kind and makes old pieces look
like new.

A Nice Calculation.

A Flemish gentleman conceived the
idea that he would only live certain
time, so he made nice calculation of
his fortune which he so apportioned
as to last just the same period as he
guessed his life would extend to.
Strangely enough. his calculations
came correct to the letter, for he died
punctually at the time he had pre-
viously reckoned. He had so far ex-
hausted his estate that after his debts
had been discharged solitary pair of
slippers represented the entire prop
erty he left. His relatives buried him,
and representation of the slippers
was carved on the tomb. Today in a
churchyard at Amsterdam his grave
may be seen, the only inscription on
the stone being two Flemish words,
"Effen Nyt" Il. e., "Exactly'0.

THE cows HORN.
Various Ways In Which 1t Is Made
Useful by Man.


Have you any conception of how use
is known as a combination of phos-
plate of lime, gelatin and albumen,
and, like all natures products, the in
gradients are in the right proportion
to make the article useful to man as
well as to the animal that bears it.
The lime makes the horn hard. but
there is just enough lime to make it
hard without making it brittle, and
there is just enough gelatin to make
the horn easy to cut and shape. The
core of the horn is bone, and to get
that out the horn is soaked in water
taken out it is ground up and made
into crucibles which are used for melt
ing gold and silver in.
The outer end of the horn is hard
and solid, and that is used for making
knife handles and other things. The
hollow part of the horn is soaked for
half an hour or so in boiling water,
when it becomes soft and may easily
be split with knife
1t is then spread out fiat and put
between iron plates. There was a
time when these horn plates were
made very thin by hard pressure and
used in windows and lanterns as we
now use glass. They may be made
quite translucent.
When the horn is heated it may be
nodded into almost any desired form.
That is the way knife handles, but
tons and other articles are made.-Chi-
