How to Clean Silver.

In little book OF Household Recipes
issued by famous furniture house OF
New York, the following directions are
given for the cleansing of silverware:
Never use any silver polish without
knowing. the ingredients, or unless the
preparation is guaranteed by manufac-
turer OF unquestionable reputation--as
for example, the silver soaps and prep.
arationH manufactured by leading jewel.
lers and silversmths, Where economy is
a consideration the following will remove
any ordinary tarnish:
Finely powdered French whiting sifted
through piece of fine muslin and rubbed
on silver with soft cloth dampened in
alcohol produces brilliant polish
Boil four ounces French whiting in one
pint of soft water and when cool add one
ounce of aqua ammonia purchased of
reliable druggist rather than any market
and bottle for future use.
Apply with soft cloth and give final pol
ish with cotton flannel or chamois skin.
Table silver may be occasionally placed
in an aluminium kettle or saucepan which
is perfectly clean and bright, well Gov
cred with cold water and allowed to boil
for Is minutes, after which remove from
vessel and dry. Give final polish with
soft piece of cotton flannel or chamois
skin. This should leave the silver
bright, but the kettle tarnished.)
Cotton flannel makes the best cloths
'or cleaning and drying silver, but a new
piece of material should be washed out
several times before using. Large dish
.owels made of cotton flannel and kept
especially for silverware will be found
most satisfactory. Cotton flannel is also
by many TO channels skin for
polishing, az it is less trouble to keep
he cloths clean and soft.
If the chamois skin is used for polish
ng it should be perfectly soft and free
rom the slightest particles OF grit, as
otherwise the article polished willie be-
ONE scratched.
A stiff, small brush should be used
a cleaning fancy parts, lines and depres-
ions where a cloth does not easily reach,
nd kept especially for this purpose.
Rinse off every trace of polishing mix.

KENT'S HILL

On Tuesday evening a progressive
geographical party was given to the
members of the Senior class of Kent's
Hill Seminary by Principal and Mrs
j. o. Newton at their home in Bleth-
en- hall. The young people arrived at
quarter before o'clock, and were
greeted informally by Mr.. and Mrs.
Newton. Miss Emma j. Williams of
Readfield presided at the piano during
the reception.
After all had been received the party
was divided into groups and the con-
tests began. One group had to guess
geographical nicknames of cities, an
other guessed pictures representing
Maine towns, another guessed the
names of states and capitols, and 9TH
ers drew the map of Maine from mem
DRY. The thing which perhaps most in
terested the young people was the
group where the verses of poetry were
written describing members of the
Senior class.
After the group work had been COM
pleted and the key given, charades of
the names of places We're acted. These
were worked up by Miss Daisy n.
Stevens, preceptress, and added much
to the entertainment of the evening.
Refreshments of strawberry ice
cream and waters were served.
A prize of a box of candy was award
ed to Donald G. Lambert of Readfield
for drawing the best map of Maine
from memory. After the singing Of COL
lege songs and the giving of cheers for
Principal and Mrs. Newton the par
ty broke up at a late hour. all declar-
ing they had had a fine time.
Those present were: Chester H. Bean,
Vienna; Charles A. Bogart, \ Northampton,
Mass: Carl Dow. Ralph E. Lane, Fred
Merrifield. Marion Folsom, Georgia Lane,
Elsie Mierisch, Ellen o. Palmer. and Ha-
Eel NJ. Peacock, all of kent's Hill; Neal
