The best thing to do for silver is to wash it after Tiae in boiling soapsuds, to which a, little ammonia, is added, aa this gives brilliancy to silver and plated artcles. To clean paint get a. little painters' size and dissolve it in hot water. Apply it with a. soft cloth and the dirt will quickly dis- appear and the paint be much improved.

To Make Good Coffee I '1"0 have coffee really good it is necessary to have it newly roasted and ground. Always use freshly boiled water; infusion is the method adopted by some people, while others do not consider the flavour sufficiently extracted by boiling. Perhaps the most perfect method ie that of filtering,, and for this purpose make a good mixture of one-third of Mocha coffee to two gills of water. Put the coffee in the muslin filter which hangs in the coffee pot. See that theooffee pot is hot, then very slowly pour in the boiling water. Allow it to almost come ta boiling point, and during the next ten -minutes pour out the water twice and re-filter it through the coffee. Cafe au lait is merely very strong coffee, served with an equaJ proportion of boiled milk. The inexperienced are tiure they cannot -err when preparing hot milk, but they can'l and v?ry easily. First of all the saucc-IM, must be perfectly clean, or the flavour wali be spoiled, and it should be rinsed with cold I water, as this lessens the risk of burning. rhe milk must be slowly heated till it nearly reaches boiling point. Last, but not least, xones the warning not to forget to heat the cups and milk jug with hot water, or the ieanperature of the beverage will be lowered, I Mid it is only very hot coffee that is worth ,he drinking. Think Before Judging I Do not, drut into the critical habit. Have I an opinion, and a sensible one, about every- thing, but when you come to judge people i remember that you see very littie of what they are unless you winter and summer with them. Can you imagine what the circumstances wera that soured sweetness and made dark- ness where there should be light? How do you know what it was that made this man or this woman so unpleasant? How do you. know what you would have been if your life had been, a duplicate of your neighbour's? Let no cxn > take credit to themselves for their even, life simply because it has been even. Doubtless if they had been put out in the breakers they would have swayed too. Par baps they would have drift.ed from their moorings as many others have drifted. How can they who have known only days of prosperity interpret the despairing cry of friendless ? Learn to find the kindly, lovable nature of the man who knows little of books. Look for the beautiful self-sacrilices made daily by some woman who knows nothing of pictures. Teach yourself to look day in and day out for the best in eyerything. It is the everyday joys and sorrows that go to make up life.
