CARE OF CUT GLASS
HOW LusTER or BEAUTIFUL Ar.
TicLEs CAN BE PRESERVED.
Require More Attention and Care Than
Silverware--Make Wash Water
Tepld, Add Ammonia and
Use Good White Soap.

It is seldom that the girl who sells
the cut glass In the big department
stores can tell you precisely what to
do In order to preserve these beautiful
and expensive articles, but one young
lady, who owns several costly pieces
and who Is overly enthusiastic con-
corning them, says that with the prop
er care they are Joy forever and
a delight to behold.
As a warning she says that 1t re-
quires considerable more care and at
tention than does silverware, as cut
glass will not stand any rough hand
ling while being polished. This brittle
article Is actually the most fragile in
tho world of the housewife; 1t seems
to await its chance to chatter, and,
therefore, II the following rules are
adhered to, breakage will be reduced
to the smallest percentage.
Keep it In china closet that has a
rail or support that will avert It's slip
ping.
Make sure that the shelf is strong
to hold the weight II the pieces are
large.
Never rinse under running water.
Prepare water for washing. in a
wooden pan or dish tub, and fold q
towel on the bottom so that the pieces
can rest on it's cushiony layers.
Make the water tepid and add am
mcnia; use good white soap, a cam
els hair brush (sold for this purpose)
and lintless cloth.
Rinse with water of the same tenn
perature and dry with a soft towel,
polishing afterwards with tissue paper
that comes for this purpose, or you
can use new clean chamois.
Do not put grease OF any kind In
these pieces. not even butter, as
grease makes them cloudy and you
can never polish them as brightly
after so using.
Brushing should always be done
with the softest brushes procurable:
stiff brushes scratch numerically. But
brush must be used to clean the
crevices so 1t cannot be dispensed
with.
Never use tacks or buckshot to
clean the inside of bottles, jugs and
pitchers, but the ground shell Of an
egg, salt and lemon or little white
vinegar
A piece Of raw potato, soaked in a
carafe or any Of the deeper pieces

Or. Bertilon Says Figures "Spell

G'immer Of Hope Seen In Passing Of
Law AbolIshing Few of Amazing
FormaItes Surrounding Mar
rlage In France.

Paris.-Dr jacques Bertillon, head
veclares that the birth and death
R~tes for 1910 spell national annihi-
iation" The births were 774,358 and
the deaths 703.777, difference of only
70.5S1.
The number of births Is the lowest
for the past century, barring that for
1909 which was 1000 less. In 1859
more than a million children were
born in France This figure remained
about stationary till 1868, when the
number was over 100000. The births
exceeded 100000 for 10 years, but
fell to $4,000 in 1885, For the fol
lowing 20 years they exceeded 100000
annually.
During the past four years the fig
are of births has begun with seven
The increase in 1910 over 1909 DR.
Bertillon considers insignificant The
decrease in the death rate also fails
to give him any hope. He points out
that it Is solely due to the dwindling
birth rate The reduction is observ-
able only among children under one
year. The only reason, therefore, why
there are fewer deaths is that fewer
children are born.
Meanwhile, as DR.. Bertillon re.
marks despondently, the excess OF
births over deaths in the German EN-.
pire last year was $4,000, as com
pared with under $1,000 in France
