Lena Ashwell opened her Kingsway the

though it didn't enrich Miss Ashwell. And
now she has come out with a fourth begin

produced this week. The author, who is
said to be an u~p-country manufacturer,
has been shrewd enough to keep on safe
and well-tried ground-that Of an aristo-
cratic, highly strung girl forced to marry
q horny-handed young carpenter because
of the provisions of an eccentric will. He
proves, of course, to be a strong and
noble person, in contrast to the gay youth
the girl wanted to marry but was obliged
to throw over.
That is trite enough, and so is some of
the dialogue, but there is good. honest
work in the play and not a little ingenuity.
The part of the girl gives Miss Ashwell
occasional chances to show her powers
and as the carpenter, Norman MeKinnel,
strengthens the growing impression that
he is one Of the half dozen really first
rate young actors on the English stage to-
day. Without him the play would have
been a failure.

POLISHING Glassware.

You have heard of many valuable
ways to clean glassware and give to
the pieces a desirable brilliancy, yet
here is a 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 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 a 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-
haustcd his estate that after his debts
had been discharged a solitary pair Of
slippers represented the entire prop
erty he left His relatives buried him,
and a 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,

Various Ways In Which II Is Made
Useful by Man.
Have you any conception Of how use
full that horn is to us? scientifically 1t
Is known as combination of phos-
phate 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
we'll 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
for several weeks. When the core Is
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 a 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-
