TIE CARE OF BRASS.

Keeping the hundred and one brass
articles now SO popular in the home,
bright is a matter of a little effort ut
virtually no expense.
If the teakcttle becomes stained,
dissolve some whiting in lemon juice
and apply with a soft piece of flannel,
after which give it a bath in soapy,
hot water.
When tray becomes cloudy looking
it may be restored by using salt and
vinegar. Drop the salt upon the tray,
moisten it with vinegar and scodr
with paste thus formed Candlesticks
discolored by gas from coal or wood
may be frightened by rubbing them
with a piece of soft leather. An old
sude bag. a torn glove or a wornout
leather pillow are just the articles TO
use.
Soapsuds with n little ammonia is eff
fective for embossed or pierced brass.
It should be applied with a brush, and
the article rinsed in warm water then
polished with a piece of leather.

New York, Dee. 13.-The six leading
