The kI is first cleansed with al cohol, after which the steel engrav ing or half tone picture which is to 1m; transferred is cleansed with a sponge. With a soft brush apply a paste made of alum and one ounce of nitrate of strontium to the face of the print and to the glass. Jjiy the picture face downward and with a tiry cloth press until ev ery part of tho picture has adhered to the glass and no blisters are left. Then lay the glass away until per-! fectly dry, which will take several' hours. i When dry, wet the paper and commence running ii on. -everui wetting may be necessary before nothing but the outline of the pic ture remains. Oil with three parts of castor oil and oil of lavender mixed. If too thick add turpentine. Place in a transparency metal frame and hang in the light or sef in the window pune. Bedroom Hanglnga. Nothing is prettier or more dain ty for bedroom decoration than the upholstery dimities in the old Eng lish style. They can be got in many patterns and launder beautifully, s are more durable than a (liuusy fab ric. They may be used in the en tire decoration of the room for ho?t spread, canopy, window hanging and dressing table covers. At the windows it is prettieft to bang the curtains straight lmvn each side, with a full vailance arros the top. Cushions for chairs and corner seats can be made to match too. andwiehaa of Buttar and Honay. Butter and honey seem to have been a favorite combination in Bi ble times and will be found quite as palatable today. Delicious, sand wiches may be made by spreading one slice of bread with butter beat en to a cream and the other with hnnKv. Tho honev must be used sparingly, so that it will not ooze out on the fingers or tne eaiers. A Sky Parlor. Hero ia a story from the veldt: When Mr. Chamberlain traveled to Delarcy's country he found that the only hall available was very small for the audience be wished to address. "It me otler you my parlor," said Delarey. Mr. Cham berlain consented, but when he reached the ruins of Dclarey's house ho found a platform built out on the open veldt. "But where ia the parlor?" asked the states man. "That is the only parlor you hav left me." replied the soldier. Do Wet, bv the way, refuses to re build his dwelling, lie desires it to remain a perpetual memorial. Lon don Speaker. G9899899S99SSif A.
