Perhaps. on account of popular opiH-

are probably necessary. But if our

KINGS Are Useful.


A king Is a hand embroidered gentle
man trimmed with metals. faced with
whiskers and matched with a metal
roof that would never keep off the
rain. Nominally he is the head of
the nation; actually he is figure
head. and that is iguratiyely speaking
only. for he Is generally too fat to
claim figure and seldom has much
Of head-except on the morning after
a celebration.
Once upon time the king was the
big tuba OF the band. Now he is mere
ly an oboe-until there is a revolution.
and then he becomes a real live hobo.
However. a king has his place. al
though he is yearly finding it more
difficult to stay in It.
Kings are found to be very useful
in poker games. and by society ladies'
who wish to be presented to some
body they can brag Of having met
when they get back home to their long
left loved ones.-Detroit Free Press.

CARING FOR CUT GLASS.
How to Handle Delicate Ware So Il
Will Retain Beauty.


viii Retain Beauty.
1t 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 overenthusiastic concern
ing them, says that with the proper
care they are joy forever and de-
light to behold
AS a warning she says that it re-
quires considerably more care and at
tention than does silverware. as cut
glass will not stand any rough han
ding while being polished. This brittle
article is actually the most fragile
In the world of the housewife. 1t
seems to await its chance to shatter.
and therefore If the following rules are
adhered to breakage will be reduced
to the smallest percentages:
Keep 1t in a china closet that has
a rail or support that will avert its
slipping.
Make sure that the shelf is strong to
hold the weight If the pieces are
large
Never rinse under running water.
Prepare water for washing In a
wooden pan or dish tub and fold a
towel on the bottom so that the pieces
ran rest on its cushiony layers.
Make the water tepid. add ammonia

camers hair brush sold for this pur-
pose) and lintless cloth.
Rinse with water Of the same tenn
perature and dry with a soft towel,
polishing afterward with tissue paper
that comes for this purpose, or you
can use new clean channels.
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
a brush must be used to clean the
crevices. so it cannot be dispensed
with.
Never use tacks or buckshot to clean
the inside of bottles. jugs and pitchers,

I was delighted to find By experiment
that to prevent my lavender and mauve
gowns or ribbons from fading it was
only necessary to put the soiled ar
ticles in cold water with common bak-
ing soda added to the proportion Of
one tablespoonful Of soda to half a gal
lon of water. Let soak half an hour.
then wash carefully in slightly warm
soapsuds. using little soap: rinse well
and dry in the shade For other col
ors table salt of same proportion is
most effectual to prevent fading. How
ever, one teaspoonful murintic acid to
gallon Of water is the best thing to
use for light blue fabrics. and your
