To PIatinize Silver.

Place some platinum in small
quantity of aqua regia or ni%o-mu
riatic acid, and keep it in warn
place few days; it will dissolve. AS
soon as it. has dissolved, evaporate the
liquid at a gentle heat until it is as
thick as honey, so as to get rid OF
the excess of the nitric and muriatt
acids. Add a little water, and it is
ceady for use. A dozen drops of this
solution goes long way in platiniz
ing silver. The operation is performed
in small glass or beaker, covered with
a watcEslass to keep in the fumes
and placed in little sand in saucer,
to equalize the heat.

Probably the writer who most fre'

Browning the poet. During the last

told his friends when they pointed out
the unwiSdom Of this course that he
was determined not to thrust his po-
ems down the threats of the people;
that if they wanted to read them they
could buy his books.

Provide Playground.

The truly normal mischief-loving
youngster (and all healthy children

droop like a flower transplanted into

must see to it that he has his own

much to fit up such fairyland, and
it will prove an investment that will
