Care of Tableware.

Delicate glass and china must not bs
exposed to extremes of heat or cold, blu
should be gently heated before hot foot
is put into them.
Glassware-Wash glass that is not
much soiled or oily in cold water; also
tumblers that have been used for milk
Soapy water or water with a little am
monia in it may be used where cold wa,
ter Is not sufficient, but the glass should
be wiped at once or it will become
stresky.
Cut glass-A soft brush is necessary
In drying, sawdust Is very useful, as II
will absorb moisture where the cloth
cannot reach. Avoid scratching glass al
this weakens 1t, and slight jar will be
apt to break it where 1t is cracked.
After washing fine china, spread thu
pieces out till cool, instead of packing
them on top Of each other. The warmth
is apt to crackle the glaze.
Sort the china into groups before
washing and wash each group separate
ly. Don't use soap on gilt china.
To clean silver-First wash 1t we'll II
hot soapy water, then apply q little
whiting with cloth wet with either al
cohol or water. Let the whiting dry or
the silver, then rub off with a piece Of
chamois or soft cloth. To keep silver
that is not In constant use, wrap each
piece in tissue paper and then all TO-

A Matter Of Distances.

Why did Homer call the Dardanelles
broad" or "boundless," although at
the point where Leander and Byron
swan it the breadth is barely mile!
Byron's comment is very neat: 1.-The
wrangling about the epithet, the broad
Hellespont.' or the 'boundless Helles
pont' whether 1t means one or the
other, or what 1t means at all, has been
beyond all possibility Of detail have
even heard It disputed on the spot and.
not foreseeing a speedy conclusion to
the controversy, amused myself with
swimming across 1t in the meantime
and probably may again before the
point Is settled. Probably Ho
mer had the same notion OF distance
that a coquette has Of time. and when
he talks Of boundless means half q
mile. as the latter. by q like figure
