HOW TO CLEAN GLASSWARE
Rinse with Cold Water ard
Polish with Leather.

Glass requires good deal more
care than china. The best material
to use in cleaning it is fuller's
earth. This must be reduced to a
very fine powder, entirely freed from
any rough or hard bits which might
damage the polished surface of the
glass. The earth is put into the YES
sci to be washed; warm water is
poured upon it. After it has been
well shaken it is emptied out, cold
water being put to take its place.
This is a good thing to use for de-
canters and carafes, both of which
are difficult to clean. Another good
method for cleaning them is, after
having filled them about two-thirds
with warm (not hot) water, to put
in several soaped pieces Of brown or
blotting paper, shake the decanters
well, then leave them for an hour or
so. Empty out the soapy water,
rinse several times with clean cold
water and invert them in a rack to
dry; when dry, polish the outsides
with a leather. The great secret by
which to keep glass clear and bright
is to use plenty of cold water for
rinsings, and always polish with
leather, not with a cloth. Another
plan for cleaning decanters is to use
finely powdered charcoal instead of
soaped paper. If the insides of the
decanters are covered with crust
from wine a little muriatic acid
should be added to the water, which
should be left several hours standing
in the decanters. For cleaning long
necked decanters long-handled bot
tie brush must be kept.

MAY TRY FRANKLIN's PLAN
London Considering Scheme for Drain
Ing Streets by Simple Gutter In
Middle Of Thoroughfare.

London is now considering a
scheme for the better drainage of
its streets that was first propounded
by Benjamin Franklin $50 years ago
the idea of a single gutter in the
middle of the thoroughfare. "Here
let me remark" he wrote parenthet-
ically amid the interesting details
of his project, "the convenience of
having but one gutter running down
the middle of the street, instead of
two, one on each side, near the foot
way, for where all the rain that falls
on street runs from the sides and
meets in the middle it forms there a
current strong enough to wash away
all the mud it meets with, but when
divided into two channels it is often
too weak to cleanse either, and only
makes the mud it finds more fluid,
so that the carriages and
horses dash it upon the foot pave
ment and sometimes splash
it upon those who are walking"

SAW HER 1o4TH YEAR.

In certain rural districts in Eu-
ropean countries the custom prevails
of publicly celebrating the birthday
of the oldest inhabitant. The little
village of Salsus de Jura was en-
fete some few weeks ago on the oc-
asion of the one hundred and
fourth anniversary of the birth of
Mile. Lise Bonavent. She was then
in full possession of her faculties
and made a charming little speech
to show her deep appreciation of the
compliment paid to her by the mu-
nicipality and inhabitants, who
brought her floral offerings. Her
death occurred two days later.

"I've heard of pretty stenograph-
ers and ugly stenographers and all
sorts between" downtown lawyer
said, ''but I've never heard Of one
like mine."
"What sort is sheer is it a he ?"
inquired the friend with whom he
was talking.
"She's deaf"
"Deaf! What in the world can
you do with a deaf stenographer~
''Why, I get along famously. And
I'll tell you there are times when
her deafness is mighty convenient.
If 1 want to, I can dictate to her at
the same time that I hold CONVEX
sation with some one else. All I do
is to talk loudly and fairly slowly
to her and she gets on all right. I
drop my voice and increase the
speed, and she can't catch q word
edgewise when Pm talking to an.
other. She is thorough and capable
and satisfactory in every way. More
people should know the advantages

TRAGEDY OF A HORSE.

Almost human intelligence is at
tributed to a horse which has just
died at Hanley, Staffordshire, Eng
land, apparently from a broken
heart. The animal, which belonged
to London railway company, al
ways resolutely refused to pull more
than its fair load of trucks. If
three trucks were coupled together it
would simply shake its head and re-
fuse to move, but when given it's
proper load it would carefully draw
the wagons over the intricate points
without guidance. Recently the horse
was taken off its favorite work and
put to draw a heavily laden dray to
the town. This must have broken
the animals heart, for on the jour-
ney it collapsed and died where it
fell.

HONOR FOR PocAHoNTAs.

1t is with a profound realization of
this country's lasting debt to Poca-
hontas that we heartily approve of
the proposition to have her name
carved on a tablet in the hall of
fame. Pocahontas made John Smith
famous, an achievement that was
prodigious, and it is well that the
people of this country should do
something by way of showing their
appreciation. Whether the custodi-
ans of the hall of fame propose to
give the lady's husband recognition
by comforting Immortality upon her
as Mrs. Pocahontas Rolfe, or wheth-
er she is to 60 down to posterity sim
ply as Pocahontas, we do not know.
However that may be, we repeat that
the movement is one which may be
cordially Endorsed by all public spir-
tied citizens. Chicago Record Her

SWISS cREMArED HIMSELF,

A horrible story comes from Swift
zerland, where woodcutter named
Ogay took his life in an extraordi-
nary manner. On hill in the can
ton of Vaud, Ogay built a funeral
pile of dried wood and set a light
to it. When it was in flames he de-
liberately lay down on the flaming
pyre and was burned to death. When
the villagers, attracted by the fire,
arrived on the scene they found the
carbonized body of the woodcutter
and his deathbed a fiery furnace.
