the famous porker, whose only loss is
Its squeal. The front and back panels,
with their rich embrolderies in Picking

lars which will miraculously turn your
most commonplace frock into veri-

OF twotoned Chinese blue embroidery

fective piano lamp shade can be
evolved from the same, with the addl-

property's upkeep. As the intention is
TO open the proposed schools before
Christmas. the alterations made probab bly,
will be slight.
In order to obtain the funds for op-
Grating these schools. the Commissioners
will send to Congress a request for an
emergency appropriation. 1t is not be-
heved the amount needed will be large.
About fifty or sixty children are ex-
pected to come under the boards recent

ing next Friday will take up the con-
sideration Of plans for the establishment

why silver Tarnishe..

Did You ever notice that the silver you
stow carefully away in neat white Can
ton flannel bags, presumably to keep IT
from furnishing, is blacker and more
stained with tarnish when you go to get
it out of the bag than the silver that has
been in use all the time? And did you
ever notice, il the silver is kept in a long
case that Is wound about itself, that the
silver best protected, nearest the middle.
is most badly tarnished.
A jeweler says that the reason for this
is that white Canton flannel lis bleached
with mixture containing sulphur, which
spots and furnishes silver very quickly.
So when your extra dozen silver forks are
carefully packed away in their white
Canton flannel case. of course those in
the middle. farthest from the air, become
the most badly tarnished.
