WATCH THE CLOCK.

Be careful about winding clocks. Wind them always at the same time and never wind them too tight. Find out just how many turns of the key 1t takes to wind the clock to the proper point and always stop with that num- ber of turns.
 A cloclmaker says that the hands of the clock should never be turned backward. If 1t is necessary to set the clock, push the hands forward, as there are some very delicate screws that rhe backward pushing is likely to disturb.
 If the clock strikes. always wait. when setting the clock, with the hand just after each hour for the clock to strike for that hour, and wait at the half hours, too. if the clock strikes every thirty minutes.
 Don't let the clock run down. Wind it regularly every twelve or twenty four or thdrty-six hours. or seven days or every stated time when it needs winding
 A clock should be moved as seldom as possible; if it does not go when if is first placed, probably it is placed unsvenly An unevenness of frac- ton of an inch may cause clock to vary several minutes from the right time each day or may cause 1t to fail to go altogether. So start 1t in good position and leave 1t there as long as possible.

Mir. and Mrs. Grayson, my husband and myself were firm friends, having attended the same college, and were married the, same year, and settled in Fox Chase a suburb of Philadelphia Our gardens joined, so the four of us spent much time together. All for nality had long ceased, and we were Edna, Mabel, Frank and Earle when by ourselves.
 Mrs. Grayson and myself were sit ting on my veranda one afternoon, conversfng very earnestly and pleas antly about our fifth anniversary which was close at hand. Edna, Mrs. Grayson, was of my opinion that each anniversary should be remembered and observed. but she did not care to specify any number of years and cell ebrate She was of a reticent and clingfng disposition and preferred trip with her husband on such occa- sions. I was more socially inclined, and perhaps as my husband inferred when we talked on the subject that why I was so enthusiastic and wished for & wooden wedding was because thought I might be able to add to my furnishings many pretty and desirable pieces, that as yet we felt We could not afford.
 Mrs. Grayson said q should enjoy entertaining my friends and relatives if could afford it, but to do so would require a large expenditure of money for I would want to add to our house. hold effects before doing SO, and we will not be able to afford that for some years to come
 replied ''Oh. Edna! You was aI- ways like that; you will never venture or undertake anything unless you see clearly before you" I wonder how you ever consented to marry Frank until he could give you at once all you would ever want or need in life" fhfn idea fully, for really these wedding anniversaries (and I mean to observe each one) will help to- add to ones supplies~ and furnishings, Oh, now, don't shake your head and look wise! for I know, for I have been reading and making inquiries about such cell ebrations, and you mark my word. that someday in the distant future when we review the past, and speak of the gifts received from friends and you will see that I am right. I shall not entertain expensively. shall serve only a dainty lunch and shall do the decorating myself" Edna laughed, and said, Maybe so. but have read and heard that often- times such gifts as you desire do not materialize.
 My husband was willing to gratify my desire of celebrating our fifth am niversary by inviting our guests to a wooden wedding.
 was very busy planning and carry ing out my arrangements. I phoned to all relatives and friends in town, and sent cards to those who lived at a distance I looked after everything myself except the decoration. Edna helped me to gather autumn leaves and goldenrod. We made the fire place one mass of bright colors. and we hung festoons around the rooms, and about the chandeliers, When finished the rooms presented a pleas ing appearance.
 I covered the dining table with an embroidered lunch cloth. Napkins to match were placed on the table with my best silver and china

HOW TO SHINE THINGS UP.

Dear Editor and Social Cornerites:- ] wondersif any of The Corner read CTS have an old painting that has grown dingy with age or dirt? If SO. here Is a way that was piven to moth- CT by an old lady quite a long while ago.
 To Rsnovats or Clean a Painting Rub it all over with a raw potato cut In half. When the surface of the po- tato gets grimy. cut it off and start anew with the fresh portion. Should 1t become dry, moisten with cold wa ter. As you proceed wipe off the lath- CT with a clean, soft sponge. slightly -dampered. After rubbing sufficiently wash the surface of the picture with very cold. clean water. and rub lightly with medicated cottonwood, to re move any remaining dirt Finally polish by rubbing carefully with a piece of old. soft silk or a silk handkerchief
 To frsshsn up suede shoes moisten a-cloth or sponge in gasolene and rub lightly in one direction. Then brush up the nap with a whisk broom.
 Another use for ssseIsns is in the bath room. Wipe dry the marble

 Little contrivances which cost little time. expense or labor, pretty vases, salt;' two cups of salt to one of water boiled until water is evaporated; just before removing from stove add one tablespoonful of cornstarch dissolved in bit of water. Cook the mixture in enameled ware. stir rapidly to pre- vent scorcEing and have the articles to be covered ready, as the salt must be applied while yet warm.
 Vases cut of stiff cardboard cov- cred with salt work and trimmed with tiny shells beads or bits of @colored glass. the whole sprinkled with gold look of an expensive ornament; a bit of bluing gives the mixture a pretty color.
 A curiosity is made by sitting a half teaspoonful of bluing in a glass, add equal portions of water and salt and forms on the edge of the glass and keeps spreading until the glass Is GOV cred. If one can make the picture of a bird perched on limb or something of the kind 1t is more beautiful. If kept for a length of time, set glass in a saucer and as water dries away add more; when the mixture stops grow ing add more bluing.
 Pine cones set in small saucers with moss kept damp and the cones sprink- led with some grass seeds makes a pretty bit of green for the sick room where flowers are not available.
 A small sponge kept moist will an- swer the purpose: if cones are not handy. The growing salt and sprout- ing seeds will often draw the weary invalid's attention when books, papers and flowers prove wearisome.
 I'll close, for the very heavens are weeping now.

 The first wastSome Reasons Why We Oppose the Vote and I want to ask the men who got that out a, few questions.
 If Votes will not raise wages. how can womep's vote lower them?
 Why is women's vote more closely allied with Socialism and, Feminism than mems?
 Because the ballot has not proved a cure-ali with men what is the harm in women adding their power?
 Why could not a woman ask for help in the matters of education: etc, if she was 9, voter? Men are supposed to-.
 If a woman can do so much without a vote why are you afraid to trust her with one?
 Are the men bound hand and foot |? I have thought they were sometimes.
 How do you know the ballot cam done for men?
 The man who calls his vote -only a ballot is a disgrace to our nation
 How many Great Interests did men ever make a success with no help from Women?
 If the Ballot cannot remedy wrong what Is it for? We know it Will Not while voters can be hired Are you afraid of your own office if Women vote?
 Now for No. 2-votes for Women: Here are is sayings well answered and I have nothing to add.
 No. want to speak about: What The Suffrage Leaders Sayl Now let me say that the women who had that circular printed. or the ones who dis tributed them are certainly not fit to vote. Just look at the first clause
 The girl who Is earning her own living Is unwise and a coward to marry any man."
 Now a happy marriage is the life God intended for men and women; but just as men are not all fitted for one occupation. women are not all flt- ted for wives and mothers.

GROUND COFFEE FOR MOTHS.

Dear Editor and Sisters: Try using ground coffee instead of moth balls and turpentine for moths. It an swers the same purpose as either Of the others, without the disagreeable scent.
 Rural Delivery: Am sorry you don't appreciate your wooden spoon for it was made of wood taken from the Cedars of Lebanon and Mount of Olives, and is very costly. Thank you for the recipe for cream cake. I've wanted one for long time and if it tastes as nice SIS Mrs. R. D's. did I will risk the dreaming past.
 Try cleaning your lamp chimneys by holding over steam, then wiping dry.
 When lighting your fire put a tea spoon of keresofe on some ashes. and put under the wood In a small dish. There's no danger then of an ex- plosion.

Another way is to sew narrow piece of tape to the waist and another piece to the shield and tie them in Another plan is to pin them in with tiny safe ty pins. ard still another way Is to fasten them in by means or uny non unstable hooks and eyes.

Most window and door screens are of t,e wooden frame type They be- come easily warped and the screening corroded. It is well to inspect them each wear before hanging, and reshape them by tightening frames with spec iaI screen brads, which pulls them into
 If fine wire is rlsted it is well to replace the entire screening, but a small piece can be placed over the hole and fine wire threaded in ard out as though a patch were being sewed in. A coat of paint will freshen and preserve them.
 If the screen doors sag, put a small iron angle in the corners. These may he purchased in any hardware store for d few cents. It is well to hinge the screens to the casing, so that the windows may be easily opened and closed.
