CARING FOR CUT GLASS.
—
How to Handle Delicate Ware So It
Will Retain Beauty.
It is seldom that the girl who sells
the cut glass iu the big department
stores can tell you precisely what to do
in order to preserve these beautiful
and expensive articles, Lut ou young
lady. who owns several costly pleces
and who is overenthusiustic concern:
fng them, says that with the proper
care they zre a joy forever and u de
light to behold.
As a warning she says that It re-
quires considerably wore care and at-
tention than does siiverwsrs, as cut
glass will not stand #1. oongh han
dling while being polish d. This brittle
article is actually the es fragile
fn the world of the uo wife. It
seems to await its chauee to shatter,
and therefu:ie if the following rules are
adbered to breakage will be reduced
to the =mualiest percentage:
Keep it in a china closet that has
a ral! or support that will avert its
slipping.
Make sure that the shelf !s siTODE to
hold the weight if the pieces are
Never rinse under runnicg water.
Prepare water for washing in a
wooden pan or dish tub and fold a
towel on the bottom so that the pleces
ean rest on its cushiony layers. :
Make the water tepid. add ammonia
and have just a good white soap, &
camel's hair brush (sold for this pur-
pose) and a lintless cloth.
Rinse with water of the same tem-
peraiure and dry with a soft towel,
polishing afterward with tissue paper
that comes for this purpose, or you
can use a new clean chamois.
Do not put grease of any kind in
these pieces, not even butter. nx grease
makes them cloudy. and you can never
polish them as brightly after so using.
Brushing should nlways be done
with the softest brushes procurable.
Stir brushes scratch unmercifully, But
a brush must be used to clean the
crevices, so it cannot be dispensed
with.
Never use tacks or buckshot to clean
the inside of bottles, jugs and pitchers,
but the ground shell of an egg. salt
and lemon or a little white vinegar,
A piece of raw potato soaked in a
carafe or nny of the deeper pieces will
help to make brightening a light task
and cleaning still easier.
HOW TO MAKE A FLYTRAP.
Simple Apparatus Has Been Found
Effective In Denver.
It is a stinple thing to destroy flies
by the millions with ut homemade f'y-
trap similar in construction to those
in use in Denver. ‘These traps were
made by the convicts in the Colorado
peniicntiary.
The apparatus is simply a box, the
size of n starch bux or larger, of which
the sides are removed, leaving the bot-
tom und two ends, and replaced with
mosquito wire. A large tin funnel,
about ten or twelve inches across at
the top. is inserted into the bottom of
the fytrap in an inverted position.
The box is supported xo as to be about
three inches from the ground. Under
the funnel is placed a saucer of vin
egar. and some brown sugar is scatter-
ed around After enting the sugar the
files go up into the funnel, the inside
opening of which is near the top of
the box. When the box is half full of
dead filles it can he emptied by remov-
ing the funnel or by making a trap
door at one end.
How to Preserve Mauve Color.
I was delighted to find by experiment
that to prevent my lavender and mauve
gowns or ribbons from fading it was
only necessary to put the soiled ar-
ticles in cold water with common bhak-
ing soda added to the proportion of |
one tablespoonful of soda to half a gal
lon of water. Let soak half an hour, |
then wash carefully in slightly warm |
soapsuds, using little soap: rinse well |
and dry in the shade. For other col-
ors table salt of same proportion is
most effectual to prevent fading. How-
ever. one teaspoonful murfatic acid to
a gallon of water is the best thing to
use for Hght blue fabrics, and your
daintiest blue frocks are thus kept
looking like new after many launder
ings.—Harper's Bazar.
How to Wash Pongee.
Never use hot water in washing pon-
gee. Instead usc u suds made from
fukewarm water vith pure white soap.
Never rub it on the board, but in the
hands, as the board draws the threads.
Rinse in several waters of the same
temperature, hang out in the air until
it 1s dry, then iron. Do not sprinkle or
dampen it. Any moisture, even of a
damp cloth, will spoil all the good re-
sults of the careful washing. If treat-
ed in this way it will look like new.—
Housekeeper.
How to Fang a Skirt.
Slip on the skirt you are making,
then slip on another skirt which hangs.
Stand on a chair and have some one put
common ping in the new skirt at bot-
tom of the old skirt, and when you
pave pins all round the bottom turn
up for hem at row of pins, and you
will find your skirt wii! hang perfectly
sven. without waste of time or labor.
How to Wash Egg Cups.
If the breakfast egg cups are put
into cold water while waiting for the
regular dish washing they will rinse
out quite easily, but hot water has the
effect of cooking the egg to the side
of the china and makes them very hard

William McClellan, 244 E. Lamb street,
Bellefonte, Pa., says: “Doan's Kidney
Pills fixed me up in good shape and conse-
quently I think highly of them. I suffered
for a long time from a pain and lameness
across my back and some mornings 1
could hardly get out of bed. My back
ached constantly and the Kidney secre-
tions were irregular in passage. Hearing
a great deal about Doan’s Kidney Piils, I
decided to try them and procured a supply
from Green's Pharmacy Co. They cured
me and I am now enjoying good health.
My advice to anyone afflicted with kidney
complaint isto take Doan’s Kidney Pills.”
(Statement given Oct. 21, 1907.)

Mr. McClellan was interviewed on Nov.
23, 1909,and he said: “I have taken Doan’s
