hands smoothly and wash your hands
and arms literally in the powder, rub
bling the hands again precisely as you
would with soapSudS; shake of this
dirty powder and draw off the gloves,
You will find that the hands and arms
are sprinkled with dust and crime
which have sifted through the gloves.
Clean the hands and armH. shake the
gloves wrong size out and repeat the
operation; twice or three times will be
sufficient to clean the gloves.
White silk gloves that are washed
with soap and water become yellow
unless the water is kept at an equable
and low temperature. Besides. the
water causes them to shrink.

How to Take Raw Ecos,

An invalid who has been compelled
to subsist largely on diet of raw eggs
has found several ways of making
them more appetizing. When a little
lemon juice is squeezed over a raw
egg, she says. the flavor reminds her
of oysters. For a change she uses
vrange juice and has the whole beaten
to a stiff froth. Raw egg whites she
manages to consume without pain by
mixing them with the juice of an
orange and some chopped or crushed
Ice. So treated, she says. the taste Of
the egg is not perceptible.

thousand dollars cash and an equal
sum annually for five years-that was
the figure.
BY saving and scheming Edgar had
reached the point where he could raise
about half of the sum required, but
the other half looked long way off,
and it was a certainty that his uncle
would sell out to somebody else unless
the deal could be closed very soon.
A man named Bardwell, who owned
two banks. was anxious to come in.
He would have bought the paper for
cash if the elder Hewitt would have
sold it to him, but BardWell was in
politics for revenue only and desired
the paper only as an adjunct to his
schemes.
Upon a certain afternoon BardWell
saw reason to transfer S150,O00 in cash
from one of his banks to the other.
He put the money into hand bag and
started across with it himself. About
midway between the banks some clev-
er person knocked Bardwell's spec
tacles from his nOSe-which was
equivalent to binding him-snatched
the bag from his hand and made
clean escape
An hour or two later man named
Henry SandersOn was arrested on the
street because he seemed to fit the de-
scription of the thief and was known
to have done such things before.

case was Edgar Hewitt, and he formed
very gloomy opinion as to the bank
er's chance Of seeing his money again
and more especially Of Edgar Hewitt's
chance Of finding the loot and securing
the reward. SandersOn had arrived in
the city on the previous evening and
had taken a room at the hotel. This
was his only known center of opera
tons. and he had not visited it after
Bardwells mishap. He could not be
traced to any possible place where he
might have deposited his plumber.
SuppOsing that Sanderson was guilty,
it seemed probable that he had passed
the money to a confederate who had
escaped from the city.
