KEEPING SILVER BRIGHT.

The care of silver plate, and the keep
ing of those pieces which are in daily
use looking like new, and removing
every trace of dulness for some time
to come, is a science. This consists of
the somewhat drastic measure of put
ting the various articles into a large
tin wash boiler after giving them a
thorough polish with hartshorn and
whiting, and her to cover them with
water into which a handful of washing
soda has been thrown.
Allow the water to boil for two or
three hours, and then remove the sill
verware. giving it a good rub with a
soft chamois leather, which produces
an exceptionally high and lasting polish.
In the case of handsome handmade
pieces of plate, with repousse or am
bossed designs in high relief. this is
actually the only way of getting the
deposits of cleaning powders out of the
crevices, and for several weeks after
ward rubbing is all that the articles
require to bring them up to the proper
briniancy.
Once a month or once in six weeks is
the time limit for these silver boilings.
for otherwise maids are apt to grow

A Mother-m-Low;s Point of Niew

WHEN we hear mothers-in-l Law
maligned we may be sure the
accuser Is decidedly out of order in
some particular, for the mother of the
daughter frequently takes the son-in.
laws part, but seldom her daughter
fn-law's, says Diana in the Philadel-
phia Inquirer.
This is quite a simple question to de-
eide. The mother always thinks her
son about perfect. but even her own
daughter is not quite SO good as she
might be. in her opinion. There are
reasons why she cannot improve in her
mothers sight, n hat is because the
mother Is always a bit jealous of her
daughter. The father Is the one who
sees the daughters good points, and
1t is he, generally. who knows the
son-in-law's imperfections, unless his
wife conceals them.
The mother will take the daughter
aside and give her a few points, telling
her that she had much more to put up
with In her father, and that men on an
average are not half so kind and gen.
erous as the husband of this exacting
child.
How did the son-in-law do it? That
is the question hundreds of men ask
who pretend that they have such
awful mothers by marriage. 1t is a
simple matter. They make love to the
mater of the girl in a perfectly proper

teous and gentle to this mother, hi
never need fear for her favor. There /:
not the same safety in the father. He
looks at his daughter with a tenderness
nothing can explain. He thinks of hel
the same as the girl that he courted
years ago. A daughter always brings
back to the father the sweetheart OF
bygone days, and he can forgive her al
most anything il she is halfway ap-
preciative of him.. 49,
If the son-in-law be the wise man he
should be, he will look out for the COM
fort of the mother of his wife. He will
see that she is not sighted, and he will
bid her good-morning first, and If she
drops her handkerchief he will stoop to
pick it up before she has to ask for it.
These little things count for more
than great deeds. They are always
necessary to a woman's happiness.
When the young man does not consider
his wife's mother too old for these
courtly attentions she is sure to ap-
preciate 1t. The son may pay his bills
and dote Oh her daughter, and she will
say, well, / am glad Mary has won
such an honorable man, ever il he is a
disagreeable old thing, but 1 shall keep
out of their way" The c~onsiderate
son-in-law need not pay his bills. for
she will slip the money in his hand.
Oh, these wise boys who do no know
how to win their mothers-in-la are
certainly missing a great deal by at
tempting to outwft her. Let them
study to please a bit and they will find
her as prone to fattery as the daush-
ter, and more so.

Benefits of Sleep Often Can Be
Obtained Without Actual
ly Sleeping.

sleep is the fear of not sleeping. once
this fear is broken down, we sleep. The
insomnia worries about his insomnia,
and this very worry deepens the mis-
chief. Hence the sufferer should sug-
gest to himself again and again: IF l
sleep, we'll; if l dom sleep I will at
least gain rest by keeping my mind
calm Inc my body relaxed In a word,
our chances of getting sleep increase if
we assume the external physical atti-
tude which corresponds to sleep, If We
relax every muscle and let 1t stay re-
Taxed, If we breathe lightly and regu-
larly, if we call up the Imagination Of
a sleeping person, and talk and hin
sleep to ourselves, repeating silently
and in a quiet, dreamy fashion such a
formula as this: There is no reason
why 1 should not sleep. Therefore 1
a sleep. Therefore 1 will sleep. My
mind is at peace. Sleep is coming 1 am
getting sleepy. l am about to sleep. 1
am asleep"
Finally, should sleep still refuse to
yield to all your wooing. remember
that some of the benefits of sleep can
be obtained without sleeping. Do not
toss and turn and groan, but constrain
yourself to mental and physical quiet
ness. Let the mind rove about among
pleasant memories or brood gently on
the blessings which a kind Providence
has sent u or lose itself in a sort of
revery with thinking about those whom
you love and in whom o are deeply
interested. After all, there is no dan
ger in a few nights insomnia. Forget
your insomnia and frequently it will
that you will recover your rest.
in mind the saying of Professor
Dubois, sleep is like a pigeon; pursue
it, and it flies from you; keep quiet, do
not trouble about it. and it will come
to you"

DAILY HEALTH HINT

These summer days. when the
body does not require large
amounts of food to maintain the
heat. is a good time to conduct
personal experiments In eating
less and masticating the food
more There are men learned in
medicine who say that a large
percentage of the ills to which
the flesh is heir is due to over
eating only. Excessive eonsump-
ton of foods rich in proteids, like
meat. fish and eggs. they contend,
forms in the body a culture bed
for germs which affect the entire
system. a condition scientifically
known as self-poisoning OF the
body. If digestion does not seem
to pc proper, If there is distress
after eating. try the experiment
of cutting in half the amount
of food usually consumed and OF
chewing what is taken nor thor
