How to Clean nias. and rrlnN.t..

How to Clean Ring. and Trinkets.
K. A sharp pointed implement should
never be employed to clean rings. as 1t
loosens the stones. Soak them in liquid
ammonia and the dirt will lie loosened.
Afterward they should be polished
with n soft cloth. 1t Is a good plan to
keep rings in sawdust, as II enables the
gems to retain their brilliancy. Warm
water and little prepared chalk are
all that are required to clean plain or
chased rings. Toilet articles, vinai-
grcttes aud other small trinkets may
be easily frightened without the use
OF powder by placing them In an aiu.
minimum receptacle and pouring boiling
water over them. Polishing should be
done by means OF piece OF clean
chamois leather, but In adopting this
treatment 1t must be remembered that
the silver should never be allowed TO
become furnished.
