CARE OF SHOWCASES.
How to Prevent Breakass and Clean
the Plate Glass.

the Plate Glass.
The position of showcase has
sometimes a great deal to do with
breakage, and cases must always be
set level or there is an uneven strain
on some part OF the case. which is lia-
bic to cause break at any time, and
when the case is not setting on level
foundation the doors will not close
properly and tightly.
Particularly is this the case with the
all glass showcase now so deservedly
popular, although there is one style
now made that Is fastened together
with patent corner clamps without
holes In the glass that Is practically
unbreakable through this cause. as the
corners permit OF certain amount Of
movement when the case Is not level,
but It Is general rule that all cases
must set perfectly level
Again. beware OF the all glass case
that is fastened together by metal
bolts through holes In the glass. as n
II Is placed near radiator or register
1t is almost sure to break through any
sudden heat or cold owing to the un
equal expansion Of the glass, which
brings the bolt In contact with II and
precipitates a crack. Here again the
corner clamp Is better, as II allows a
certain amount Of movement, as stated
before.
II crack does happen In plate glass
from whatever cause II is possible to
prevent Its spreading In some cases
by cutting a small. short scratch with
q glaciers diamond directly at right
angles 10 the crack.
Glass should always be handled with
care, and when shelves of plate glass
are taken from showcase to clean
they should always be carried on edge
and rested against wall In the same
manner.
To clean plate glass use the old IA
miliar mixture Of liquid ammonia, one
ounce; alcohol. one ounce; whiting. one
ounce. and water TO make one pint
Rub ON glass with sponge, and when
dry rub on and polish with soft
cloth or chamois.

When good old Mr.. aud Mrs. Trip

small property left by the Old people.
Such disagreements are SO shameful

which the cupidity OF the various heirs
had asserted itself.

brown house In which they had lived
for the past ten years, and when their
funeral expenses had been paid there

But Mr.. and Mrs. Trip hnd not al
ways been so poor as they Were at the
last, aud there was one Of Mrs. Trips
possessions which she had always ex-
hibited with pride as relic Of her
better days and us undenIable proof Of
the fact that there had been "A time
when she had had a-plenty."

Of the dishes and intended being faith

Mr.. and Mrs. Trip had no children,
but they had some relatives-cousins

they were was made manifest when |
