How to Wash Cut Glass Without
Breaking II.

How to Wash Cut Glass Without
Breaking It.
In washing cut glass. especially that
which is deeply cut, never use hot wa
ter. If you do the thin places will
heat so much more suddenly than the
thick portions that they will expand
quickly and break the glass.
Have your cut glass In warm room
for several hours before washing it.
The water should be just warm, and
in 1t should be put a generous amount
of liquid ammonia. Then each piece
should be put into the bowl separate
ly and rolled over quickly, so that the
entire surface may become wet at
once. If the cutting Is at all deep
rub all crevices with stiff brush COW
cred with lather of ordinary soap.
Rinse the glass in another bowl con-
tanning water of the same tempera-
ture. to which has been added a
squeeze of blue from the washing blue
bag, then dry Immediately upon clean
and soft linen towels
Should you wish to give an added
luster polish the glass with alcohol
Hold the piece of glass to be treated
over clean basin and pour the alco-
hol-which must have been standing
in warm room long enough to lose
its chill-over the glass, letting 1t run
down into the basin beneath, so that
1t will not be wasted Wipe dry in
stantly and polish with soft piece of
linen and let the final polish be given
by soft piece of old silk.

American Manufacturers Must Have
Dye Stuffs From Germany.
Washington, Aug. 22.--Instructions
have been sent to James w. Gerard,
ambassador to Germany, and Ameri-
can consular officers in that country
to notify the state department at once
whether the European war will pre-
vent the shipment Of dye stuffs to the
United States. The matter is of vital
Importance to the wooden, cotton,
silk, leather and other industries In
this country that use colors, as the
present supply is only sufficient to
keep such factories going for about
sixty days. When the present supply
Is exhausted 1t Is estimated that at
least million men will be thrown
out of enjoyment. For this reason
every effort will be made to relieve
the situation so as to get German dye
stuffs. Ambassador Gerard has been
asked to notify the state department
whether Germany has placed an en-
barge on shipment of dye stuffs, and
II not, whether the Rhine Is open for
transportation. If it is found that no
embargo has been placed on ship
ments of dye stuffs, officials will be
sent abroad to arrange for shipments.

CARDINALS TO TAKE
UP EUROPEAN WAR
Some Expression Expected From
the COnCIaVe.

Rome, Aug. 22.-The body OF Pope
Plus X. was removed from the throne
room of the vatican to the chapel of
the sacrament at st. Peters, where
az will lie In state until the final cere-
monies, which end with the interment
an the crypt Of the great cathedral
In accordance with the wishes Of
the pope expressed in his last days.
the three days lying In state In the
Throne room was dispensed with.
That was ceremony simply for the
benefit Of the mobiles of the church
and OF the state. Such things had
always been most distasteful to the
man who never forgot that ne was
born a peasant.
The burial of the pope will be abso-
iutely private
Saddened as everything is by the
death OF the church's head, II has not
interfered with preparations for the
conclave of cardinals which Is to
choose the new pope. Cardinal Della
Volpe, the cardinal chamberlain, who
Is the temporary head OF the church,
has a most delicate task In providing

tain TO be an Italian.
Undoubtedly some expression will
come from the conclaye concerning
the European war. II is conceded to
De the duty OF the church to express
etself, but the form which II Is tc
take will have TO be most carefully
considered for fear of causing a most
embarrassing situation.

THE INSTITUTE
OF the Knox County Teachers
Association
Association

The devotional exercises Thursday
morning we're conducted by Rev. w.
r. Hull.
DR.. Colegrove spoke on Measuring
the Results of Teaching" He said
that some people, back numbers" he
called them, say that the results OF
teaching cannot be measured, but 1t
is being done in many places in a sci
entific way. Tests in accuracy and
rapidity are given to children and the
results are recorded by means of a
chart, or charts. Other tests are CIV
en- later and in this way the progress
of the class and of each individual in
the class can be known by compari-
son of results as recorded in the
charts.
DR.. Colegrove used several of these
charts in his address, showing how
they are made. He emphasized the
Importance Of teachers doing individ-
ual work in bringing up pupils who
are not up to the average in the class.
Mr.. j. r. Clark, of Columbus, who
is representative of the state super
intendent of public instruction, then
spoke. He talked Gf the new school
law and the changes it would make in
the schools this year, especially in the
rural schools. He explained many
things about the law and answered
questions in regard to 1t. He then
spoke especially of the Importance of
teaching agriculture and home-mak-
ing in the rural schools.
"a Century Run in Literature" was
the subject of DIR. Green's address.
He discussed the 18th century. He
said that the characteristics of the
age were intellectual, not emotional,
utilitarian not imaginative, and arti-
fetal, not spontaneous. This century
marks the origin and development of
a reading public and the increasing
DOl VI IhO COlhillOh ClcipoCps
These characteristics and conditions
naturally affect the literature of the
age Prose is written rather than po-
etry. The poetry that is written is
rhetorical poetry. Other special pro-
ducts of the age are the novel, period
ical essays, works on political econo-
my and methodical historical prose.
The representative writer's are DR..
Johnson, Dean Swift, Burke, Pope,
Adam Smith, Gibbon, Hume, Addison
and Steele.
Dr.. Colegrove then spoke, his sub
ject being Conservation in Educa-
tion." He said that we hear great
deal at this time about the conserva-
tion of the natural resources of the
country to make up for the destruc-
tion and exploitation that has been
going on in years past. But the great
est problem before the country is the
conservation Of childhood, the child
being of more importance than any of
these other things. He made plea
for more scientific standard of mea-
surement of results of school work.
The great sources of educational
waste are lack of cooperation be-
tween the parents, and the teachers
and the school boards; employment
OF teachers not well-qualified for the

RELIC OF INDIAN MYTHOLOGY.
Railway Man Has Totem Pole WiIled
TO Him by an Alaskan Chief.

There has been installed In con-
spicuous place beside the door of the
Great Northern railway Office. 1884
Broadway, New York, totem pole,
an heirloom of one of the oldest Alas
kan families. 1t was willed to General
Agent Lounsbery by Chief Koynkuk of
the Lackshkeak clan of the Haida
tribe.
There are, or We're, four large and
important tribes in Alaska, the names
of which in the Tsimsheam language
are Kishpoot-wadda, having for sym
bols the finback whale in the sea, the
grizzly bear on land, the grouse in the
air and sun and stars. The next clan,
known as the Canada, have for sym
bols the frog. the raven, the starfish and
the bullhead. The Lacheboo had the
heron and the grizzly bear for totems,
and the Lackshkeak, the eagle, beaver
and the halibut.
The Indians point back to remote
age when their ancestors lived in
beautiful land where, in mysterious
manner, the mythical creatures whose
Bymbols they retain revealed them
selves to the heads of the families of
that day. They relate the traditional
story of an overwhelming flood which
spread death and destruction. Those
who escaped in canoes were scattered
In every direction on the face of the
waters, and where they found them
selves after the flood had subsidized
there they staked out pre-emption
claims and formed new tribal associa-
tions. Thus it was that persons re-
lated by blood' were widely separated
from each other. Nevertheless they

guished them.

work; and either no supervision, or
poor supervision. The work of the
pupils will depend very much upon
the kind of supervision and the ideals
set up before the children.
The Institute was adjourned at
1890 for the remainder of the day,
thus making it possible for the teach
ers to attend the county fair in the
afternoon.
The first session Friday was opened
by singing and by devotional exer-
cises conducted by Rev. o. e. Ford.
DR.. Green spoke on Steps and
Devices in Composition Work" He
said that it is very important that the
teacher of composition be enthusias-
tic. He gave seven steps for work in
composition as follows: Collection of
material, selection, analysis, reproduc-
ton of thought Of others by combin-
ing, amplifying and condensing, origin
alton, revision and continuation. He
gave various devices and plans for
working out the different steps in the
work.
After the intermission Mr.. Chubb
and Miss Hart sang "Miserere" from
IL Trovatore.
Dr. Colegrove then gave his closing
address, his subject being "Accumula-
tive Dividends in Teaching" He
compared teachers work with in
vestment of money in savings bank
which at the end of certain time will
bring dividends to the depositor. The
amount of dividend will depend upon
the amount invested. No teacher can
expect large dividends from small
investments. The original investments
a teacher puts into her work are mo-
tives or ideals, personality and the
preparation she has made for her
work. She should keep adding to this
original investment day by day by
study and reading, by travel and con-
versation with others
The time will come to every teach
Ell to draw dividends, not in money, but
in the satisfaction of work we'll and
faithfully done and in the knowledge
that she has been of service to human
ity.
