rldes to Generate Electricity.

1t is reported that a Hamburg joint
stock company has purchased a large
tract of land along the mouth of the
Eloe at Cuxhaven, where power works
are to be erected. The action of the
ebb and flow of the tide is to be en-
ployed in generating electrical energy
to be used in factories about to be es
tabHshed. The works will also furnish
electrical power to the town Of Cux
haven and other towns in the vicinity
The daily capacity of the plant will
reach $4,000 horsepower. Tests are
said to have established the feasibility
of this method of generating elec
tricity.

FOR THE WINDOWS
THEIR TREATMENT AND CARE
IN WINTER.
After Being Properly Cleaned, .
. Preparation Can Be Applied That
! Will Keep Them Free from
Frost and Steam.


Before cleaning windows, remove
all the dust II the paint require'
cleaning do this first, taking care
not to scrub, as this removes botI
paint and dirt.
Vanished wood should be rubbed
with a piece of chamois leather wrune
out of cold water, and then polished
with a soft duster.
For cleaning windows some people
use ammonia in the proportion of one
Tablespoonful to a gallon of water, but
the work can be performed quite as
efficiently and much more quickly by
insing clean water and two good
schamois feathers, one for washing the
lglass and the other for polishing 1t.
See that the wash feathers are quite
clean, and do not make the glass 50
swet that the water drips from it.
Have plenty of clean water and
ichange It frequently. Dip the chamois
in this and rub the panes, taking care
THAT the corners are not forgotten.
Wiring the cloth tightly and go over
the surface of the glass a second time.
Polish with the other wash leather.
Linen or cotton cloths should not be
used, as they frequently leave pieces
of down on the glass, especially If
used when the latter is not dry.
A window cannot be properly
cleaned when the sun is shining on it.
During frost the least touch of the
hand is liable to crack the glass.
To keep the windows free from frost
sRpply a little glycerine on dry dus-
ter, and a brilliant polish will be the
result. This is also excellent for pre-
Iyer,ing windows from steaming IL
rubbed on inside of the glass after the
windows are cleaned.
IL q little kerosene oil is added to
the water used for cleaning purposes
it win prevent flies from settling on
the window, and has the additional
me. t of giving clear and brilliant
polish.
The brightness of the window panes
gives an air of cheerfulness to a
house; If these are smeary and dirty
one often finds that the housewife is
careless and neglectful in other de-
tails Of household management
In order that an Objectionable view
may be shut out, dissolve some EPSON
salts in hot water and make it as
strong as possible. Then wash it over
the glass while hot with a brush. It
VIII soon cool and deposit the salts in
a crystalline form on the window, and
when the water has evaporated the
panes will be found beautifully
p frosted.
7 The windows must be quite covered
: with the liquid and care must be
taken that it does not run or the pat
tern will be spoiled.

Cucumher Pickle.

A very simple rule for cucumber
pickles, which is well worth trying, as
II entails very little trouble, is to
pare and slice two dozen cucumbers
and one dozen small onions. Sprinkle
them with salt, and allow them to
drain well in a colander Then place
them in a bowl, adding one quart OF
vinegar, one cup of olive oil, one
quarter of a cup each of black and
white mustard seed, one teaspoonful
of celery seed, and one-quarter tea.

reetotalers TO Be Dreaded.

If l were a modern Caesar the men
l would dread in public life are not
the lean and the hungry, but the men
who are the teetotalers. 1t may be
that the removal Of the soothing influ
ence of wine gives to the teetotaler a
keenness of interest and a perennial
freshness of vigor. Whatever the rea
son, the most formidable and most
ambitious politicians in my experience
are the teetotalers.-"T p" in "P.

Portable Steel Fan.

A portable steel fan, with kerosene
oil as a motive power, has been in

kerosene lamp and is particularly

cents. The retail price of the fan com
plete in India is $61.
