THE RIGHT WAY
TO CLEAN WINDOWS
Glass Will Keep Clean Longer if
busted Regularly Both In
side and Out.

II windows are easily reached the glass
in them keeps clean a great deal lon.
ger II it is busted regularly inside and
out. folded pad of newspaper is the
best thing to use, and il this Is sprinkIed
with a few drops of ammonia or para
| fin 1t will serve for window cleaning
| also.
When windows are to be washed they
| should be busted first with the news
paper pad If very dusty. In this way
| the cleaning and polishing will be more
| easily done. 4 teaspoonful of ammonia
or paraffin to each half gallon of warm
water makes good solution, or cold
water and washing blue may be tried.
Chamois leather is excellent for the final
polishing. -.-
In frosty weather methylated spirit is
useful, or the newspaper pad may be
sprinkled with paraffin and no water at
all used.
Windows must never be cleaned when
the sun is shining on them, and all cloths
used must be free from lint. Experience
seems to prove that different kinds of
glass respond to different methods of
cleaning. but in every case newspaper or
tissue paper pads are recommended for
the final polish and a sprinkle Of paraffin
will make the effect more satisfactory.
A window brush is useful for cleaning
lnc OL uO"nSIdlTS WlnQOWS- Its
long broom handle should have a metal
socket at the end, into which another
similar handle fits, for cleaning the upper
panels. With this and a pail of blued
water the lower windows are readily
cleaned, but they must be well rinsed.
Splashes OF paint, which have hardened
on the windows, may be removed by
means Of hot vinegar or a strong solu-
ton OF washing soda. A paste made with
whiting and powdered ammonia mixed
with n little water is effective. It must
be put on thickly and left on the paint
spots until quite dry, then washed Off
with soap and water.
AS a last hint il may be well to say
that lacquered curtain rods used for
windows which are kept open are soon
corroded il there Is much dampness, but
this can be prevented for a long time
by rubbing the rods frequently with a
soft, dry cloth and with furniture cream
each time the curtains are changed
Sash cords also need attention. Their
durability may be increased and the vex-
alton Of a broken cord postponed for a
long time by rubbing them every now
and then with a tallow l(not wax candle
warmed slightly to soften II. II the old
fashioned tallow dip" is not within reach
very little lard or fat may be used,
provided it is absolutely free from salt,
which would rot the>cord.

Service Plates.

Service plates are those used Oh lunch.
con and dinner tables between courses.
The old-fashioned way was when a
person had finished eating from a plate
1t was removed and the place before him
left empty until another, containing the
next course, was put before him.
Service plates fill this gap, and it is
not considered good form ever to leave
a place without a plate. The butler or
maid, as he or she takes away the plate
with which one is finished, puts down an
empty one, usually of very fancy kind.
This remains until the next course is
served to each person. The service plate
is then taken up and returned at the
next interval
Service plates are on the table at the
beginning Of luncheon or dinner, and at
that time the napkin is folded on them. =.
They may be medium size or large,
preferably the latter.

Would Be Interesting to Know
What "The Public" Wants

The first comes from the theater-it
folk really are sincere in their professed
desire to see unwholesome plays swept
of the stage, why don't they register
their protests by quietly staying away
when such plays are produced, rather
than packing the houses and paying the
highest prices fol seats when they know
In advance the character Of the produc-
tions?
And the second comes from publish
ers-if the public does not like the funny
sheets" objects to the worst Of the pic
lures and some of the fanciful sketches.
pray, why does not the public speak
and let It's objections be known?
And with firm belief in the inherent
good taste Of the public, one can only
echo-why?

Reek with CoarseneSs.

And some of US would very much like
to believe that some publishers are
wrong in declaring that their public Is
clamoring for the class of jokes ard
pictures that are served. To us, they
seem TO reek with coarseness and We
cannot believe that the great mass of
readers wants them at all
Publishers, like playwrights and man
ayers and actors, mako a wry face
when they refer to their comic" sup
plements and to some of the mental food
they furnish. but they resignedly say
that they publish their papers and their
magazines for the money that is in
them, and they must give the public
what is wanted. AS for themselves, they
would be right pleased to supply a liter
ary feast and an artistic array Of pic
lures II their public was prepared to
digest the new food. But men and women
today, they say, like the airiest kind of
reading, the slliest class OF jokes and
the most far-fetched of pictures, and
plenty of them, just like lot OF chill
dren.
And is it n libel upon the public?
Two Dismnyins Questions.
One can only hope 1t is.

FOR THOSE In HIGH PLACES
Immense Cost of Imperial Porphyry
Put 1t Beyond Reach of All But
the Very Rich.

All students of the sculpture and
architecture of the Imperial Roman
age are familiar with the magnificent
purple stone known as imperial por-
phyry, but it is probable that but
few of the students know of the i'm
mense difficulties that were encounter
ed in the procuring of the stone so
much esteemed in that age of luxury.
Weigall, who personally visited the
region whence this stone emanated,
reached the conclusion that the great
distances between the quarries and
the places where the stone was used
must have given the price a boost
SO that the porphyry was beyond all
except the rulers of the earth.
1t appears that the quarries from
which this porphyry was obtained are
situated in the eastern Egyptian des-
ert, that region known as Gebel Duk-
han, 1.-THE Hills of Smoke The desert
is about 81 miles from the Red SEQ,
opposite the southern end of the PEN
insula of Sinai.
The quarries extended here and
there into the hillside without any re-
semblance of regularity. The blocks
of porphyry were pried from out of
the rock wherever the work could be
ported down the Nile, and, in fact
to Rome, in the rough. This purple
porphyry was not known to the an
cient Egyptians. Some RomaS pros
pectors must have secured the desert
to find it. The barren coast of that re-
gion was harborless. Each block of
porphyry must, therefore, have been
carried across the desert to Kench, on
the Nile and thence shipped by river
barge to the sea. Then it became
necessary to transship it to the great
Mediterranean galleys, and thus con-
veyed across the treacherous waters
to the port of Rome.
There is no other place in the world
where this porphyry is to be found,
and when the quarries ceased to be
worked, some time previous to the
seventh century, the use of that stone
had to cease also, nor has it since
been procurable.
