Trick In Dishvashing.

Where a great deal of dishwashing
Is necessary it Is a good plan to do
away with the drying of dishes. To
household rack is now used. 1t is
shaped like those photographers use
for negatives, only, of course, much
larger After being rinsed with clean
hot water the dishes can be set up on
edge in the rack and allowed to dry
by evaporation. All they need then is
polish with dry towel as they are
placed on the table. One can wash
the dishes, go about other work and re-
turn to find them all ready to put
away.

There is nothing uglier than dull,
smeary looking silver. 1t Is bad
enough in a toilet service, but when Ill
kept silver is seen on the dining table
1t presages a carelessness that is far
from reassuring to the diner.
1t is not enough to give silver
weekly cleaning, as is much the Gus
tom. Coal gas, steam and furnace heat
all tarnish it quickly, while the dust
from even the best kept house will
soon dim a polished surface.
To keep silver bright after use 1T
should be washed at once with
chamos leather soaked in warm, soapy
water, rinsed thoroughly in boiling wa
ter and dried and polished quickly
with a soft cloth or fresh chamois
skin.
This, to well trained dishwasher,
should be as expeditions as the ordi-
nary slipshod methods of drying the
table silver in constant use.
If 1t becomes too clouded, yet one
does not find it convenient to give 1t
regular cleaning, silver can be won
derfully cleaned by a rub with a
rouged chamois. One of these should
be in every well equipped pantry
They are sure to rub off on hands and
gowns, especially when new, but are
excellent for an emergency.
The most persistently and brilliantly
shiny silver 1 have ever seen belongs
to a woman whose maid confided to
me the secret of its good appearance.
She always used pure alcohol instead
Of water to molsten her silver powder.
Never use a stiff brush or a rough
cloth ON a plain surface. for scratches
dire will result. A very occasional
turning over of ones silver to a jew
eler for repolishing is useful when one
can afford the expense.

If you are ironing with the patent

is a good idea to put tin cover on
top of the iron as it sits on the fire.
The cover keeps the heat from escap-

get hot much quicker. On good sized

increase made in the offer to them
The aldermen, it is understood, will
stand pat on their offer, a MAORI
ty of the members being convinced
that $125.O00 is not only a reasonable
but also a fair and liberal offer.

New York, Sept. 6.-Mrs. Laura u.
Carter, who has been on trial for Il
week on the charge of receiving stolen
money, was acquitted by jury late
today.
She was accused of having received
from Chester r. Runyan, the default
ing teller of the Windsor Trust Com

the bank.
One of the jurors said after the
verdict had been returned that the
jurors agreed that the testimony of
Runyan, who was the principal wit

ignored on the ground that Runyan
was a self-confessed thief.
Immediately after the verdict Mrs.
Carter was released from custody. She
said she had not decided whether she
would demand the reward offered for
