How to Clean a Clock.

One woman who doctors her own
timepiece advises the following for a
clock which refuses to go.
Take off the hands. the face, the
pendulum and its wire. Remove rateh-
ct from the tick wheel and the clock
will run down with great velocity.
Let it go. The increasing speed wears
away the gum and dust from the piu-
ions-the clock cleans itself. Put
sperm oil on the axles. Put the ma
chine together, and nine times out of
ten it will run just as well as If it had
been taken to the shop. II instead Of
a pendulum the clock has watch es-
capement, this latter can be taken out
in an instant without taking the works
apart, and the result is the same.

TEST FOR DIAMONDS.
How to Tell When Stone Is Genuine
nr Naf

OF tH0ts
Few persons, writes London
jeweIer, are willing to trust to their
own knowledge and observation in
purchasing diamonds. Even pawn
brokers' who spend their lives in ham
ding precious stones, are often cheat
ed. Although to become an expert is
the development of special gift
through years of experience, there are
a few simple tests which will aid a
buyer OF diamonds
"One test is to prick a needle hole
through card and look at the hole
through the doubtful stone. If the
latter is spurious two holes will be
seen, but if it is diamond only one
hole will be visible. Every imitation
stone which resembles a diamond
gives a double reflection, while the
genuine diamonds reflection is single.
This is delicate test, because it is
difficult to see even a sharp and well
defined object through diamond. The
single refraction of the gem also al
lows one 70 determine an uncertain
stone. If the finger is placed behind IL
and viewed through the stone with a
watehmaker's glass the grain Of the

not a diamond But if it is a diamond
the grain of the skin will not be dis
tinguished at all"

A poultryman in New Jersey lost
5000 duck eggs because the gas was
shut off that was supplying the heat
for his incubators. Is this another
proof that corporations have no con-
sciences?
The Society For the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals has come out
against the shipment and sale of live
chicks for Easter gifts. 1t certainly
is cruelty to give little chicks to chill
dren for Easter toys. The sale of
stuffed chicks and little ducks in the
stores is bad enough.

How 10 Clean Ribbon Ties FOR Shoes.

How to Clean Ribbon Ties For Shoes.
The broad ribbon ties that are worn
in low shoes are matter Of no small
expense If a woman wants to have
them always trim and neat looking
and one way to accomplish this with
out having to invest frequently in new
ribbons is to launder them whenever
they begin to look bedraggled They
should be stretched out on a fiat sur
face and scrubbed with soap and a
stiff brush until they are perfectly
clean. Holding an end of the tie in
each hand, stretch 1t tightly and allow
the water to run over it until the soap
is rinsed out Then shake the ribbons
well. put between two or three thick
nesses of towel and keep smooth un-
til almost dry, when they may be hung
up until entirely dry. Apart from fresh
ening the ribbons the fact of taking
them out of the shoes frequently makes
them last longer. as it is not likely
that they are put back in exactly the
same way. and the strain on the ribbon
from the eyelets does not thus come in
the same places each time.

@. Can you tell me why my chicks

A. Your chicks have head lice and
have made themselves bald scratching.
These lice are gray and fat and are
not easily seen. They suck the blood.
Rendered hen fat will kill them.
@. Will you give me good summer
