HOW TO BUY AND CLEAN GLASS.

There are three points to look for when buying glassware.

Such." secded" glass weaning and think that the ap racks readily when only moderate proach of the first birthday is, any-ly hot liquids come into contact how, time enough to worry about with it. it. That is because our ideas are vague; and as a great deal of after trouble is directly due to this, it is well worth while to get them clear.

One Word for Two Things. To start with, we have only one word for two distinct processes. By weaning we mean the change from Nature's milk to something elec, the process known by the French as sovrage. When po other food for babes was dreamed of, this did very well. But now we mean also the change from milk to other forms of food, which is quite a different thing. This across the Channel is known as ablactation, so there is no possibility of confusion. We, on the other hand, say that it is time a child of nine months was "weaned, or that a four-months old was weaned because it was not getting on, and that a poor babo of Bix weeks had to be "weaned because his mother was despernioly ill. Small wonder that wo get muddled.

During the reign of good Queen Anne, when lovely fans like theso were carried by all, modish women, Addison wrote in the Spectator "There is an infinite variety of motions to be made use of in the flutter of a fan. There is the angry futter, the modest Butter, the confused flutter, tlio merry flutter? and the amorous flutter. Not to. be tedious, there is scarce any emo tion in the mind which does not produce a suitable agitation in the. fan, insomuch that if I only see the fan of a disciplined lady I know very woll whether she laughs, frowns or blushes.".
