WASHING FURNITURE.
Easy to Restore Tarnished Pieces to

Original Freshness.
VERY few people know that furni
ture ought to be washed" said a sales
man in the furniture section Of large
department store Yet" he continued.
''it is the best thing one can do to keep
furniture looking aS we'll as II should.
One should take Il bucket Of tepid rain
water and make sudS with a good
pure soap. Then with a soft piece of
cheeSecloth all the woodwork should
be washed. 1t is astonishing how much
dirt will come off. second piece of
cheesecloth should ne wrung dry out of
hot water On this should be poured u
tablespoon Of first class furniture pol.
ish. The heat will spread the polish
through the cloth. Next the furniture
should be gone over with the second
cloth. There will he no need of put
ting on more polish. for that much will
do all one needs. Too many persons
make the mistake of using too much
polish and leaving II thick on the furni
ture. where II looks dauby and where
it gathers more dirt
There is furniture in homes today
that Is east off because of its appear
ance when 1t might be brought back
to its original freshness by this simple
process of washing Many persons do
not know that fine bit of mahogany
is improved by careful washing. and

Cliff of Natural Glass

A cliff of natural glass can be seen
in Yellowstone park. 1t is half mile
long and from $50 to 300 feet high,
the material of which it consists being
as good glass as that artificially manu-
factured. The dense glass which
forms the base is from seventy-five to
a hundred feet thick, while the upper
portion, having suffered and survived
many ages of wind and rain, has natu-
rally worn much thinner. OF course
the color of the cliff is not that of nat
ural glass-transparent and white-but
is mostly black and In some places
mottled and streaked with brownish
red and shades of olive green and
brown.

Many people without realizing it are
in the habit of drinking tea at much
too high temperature, Sir Henry
Thompson points out in his book on
"Diet In Relation to Age and Activi-
ty."
Few persons are aware that they
habitually swallow hot liquids, tea es-
pecially, at temperature which If
applied to the hands or feet would in
hict painful scalds. Most tea drinkers
take 1t about 140 to 145 degrees f..

but the habit of swallowing such
tea Is injurious to the stomach. and It
ought not to be taken above 130 de-
grees or so. Again. water ut 100 de-
grees. which feels little more than
lukewarm in the mouth, causes severe
pain if the hand is dipped in 1t and
cannot be endured"
He has. however, some good wocds
to say for the early morning tea.
"This morning tea in any case should
be taken at least an hour and half
before the first meal of the day. For
many years | have been accustomed
to write for an hour every morning IN
bed after tea. as am doing at this
moment. and at no time do | find the

A Famous Nina.

In the Cumberland Lodge portion of
the royal gardens at Windsor there is a
vine, known all over England as the
Cumberland Lodge vine, which is a
shoot of a still older vine which grows
at Hampton Court, but the shoot has
far OutdiStanced its parent in dimen-
sions and prOductiveness. In England
grapes are generally grown under
glass, and the Cumberland Lodge vine
has q great glass structure, 120 feet
long by 20 wide, all to itself. Growing
with astonishing luxuriance, the vine
spreads itself over a roof area of 400
square feet and bears annually a crop
of approximately a thousand huge
punches of the finest favored grapes.
These grapes are frequently found on
the royal table and the subject who is
presented with n basket of them con-
siders himself highly favored. The
shoot from which the great vine has
grown was planted in 1715.
