TO RESTORE PICTURE FRAMES
Two Mixtures Which Will Remove the
Tarnish Caused by Smoky Atmos.
phere-Use Soft Brush.

Gilt frames which have become
darkened through exposure to smoky
atmosphere can usually be improved
by the use of an oldfashioned rem
edy. To make 1t take sufficient -four
Of sulphur to give golden tint 10,
about two and one-half pints OF wa
ter, and in this boil four or five
bruised onions. Strain off the liquid,
and with it, when cold, wash with
soft brush any gliding that requires
restoring
Another restorer is two ounces OF
white of egg; chloride of potash or
soda one ounce; mix well dust off
the frames with a soft brush. and
go over them with a soft brush dipped
in the mixture 1t would be well to
try little OF this mixture first on a
portion of the frame that is not con-
spicuous, as there are different meth
DDS of gliding, and the potash or soda
might possibly not suit. Sometimes
the white Of egg alone, put on with a
camel's hair brush, is sufficient to
clean a nice gilt picture frame. Avoid
rubbing the frames, as the gliding
must be touched very gently.

WORTH VISIT TO CALIFORNIA
Sight Of Mount Shasta, In Its Glory
and Beauty, Well Repays Tourist
for Long Journey.

The most impressive mountain In
the world is Shasta in California. Un'
like Pixies Peak and many other OF
the worlds great mountains, 1t Is not
surrounded by number of lesser
ones, and its tremendous height-14..
44O feet-is appreciated by the eye.
1t is sublimely grand. and yet grace
fully beautiful Against the blue OF a
California sky it's curved outlines seem
to sweep In the perfect segments Of a
circle from the apex of the cone to the
horizon. Far up on its base the dark
green OF the timber-line is met by the
virgin whiteness OF Shasta's snow, and
then on, up and up, far past the sum-
mer clouds, points the alabaster pyra'
mid.
Shasta Is an extinct volcano. and has
two large glaciers. The Whitney

The minister's eyes sought Court

sion of his face he might have been a
spectator rather than the person most
vitally concerned in this little scene.
And what pair they made.
Monsieur Courtlandt, you will give
me your word of honor not to annoy
mademoiselle again."
Il promise never to annoy her
again"
For the briefest moment the blazing
blue eyes clashed with the calm brown
ones The latter were first to deviate
from the line. 1t was not agreeable
to look into a pair of eyes burning
with the hate of ones self. Perhaps
this conflagrauon was intensified by
the placidity of his gaze. If only there
had been some sign of anger, of con-
tempt, anything but this incredible
to cry out! She was too wrathful to
notice the quickening throb of the
veins on his temples.
rMademoiselle, / find no case
against Monsieur Courtlandt, unless
you wish to appear against him for his
forcible entrance to your apartment"
Nora shook her head The chief OF
police stroked his mustache to hide
the fleeting smile. A peculiar case,
the like OF which had never before
come under his scrutiny! "Circum-
stantial evidence, we know, points to
him; but we have also an alibi which
is incontestable. We must look else
where for your abductors. Think;
have you not some enemy? Is there
no one who might wish you worry

ciates all loyal to you? Is there any
