Two servants employed in adjoining
houses were talking recently about their
methods of cleaning windows. The one
whose windows always looked the brightest said she selected a dull day ior the
work, or a day when the sun was not
shining on them because when tbe sun
shiues it causes them to be dry streaked,
no matter how much one rubs. The
painter's brush is the best article for this
purpose; then wash all the woodwork
before the glass is touched. To cleanse
the glass simply use warm water diluted
with ammonia; don't use soap. A small
stick will get the dust out of the corners,
then wipe dry with a piece of cloth—do
not use linen, as the lint sticks to the
glass. The best way to polish i.s with
tissue paper or newspaper. To clean
windows in this way takes much less
time than when soap is used.--Boston

The Evart JRtview, of yesterday, iu
speaking of il»e coming 4th of July ccle-
cd to announce the comm

known as one of the best of Michigan's
silver toiigued orators. At present he is

complete success of the celebration, and

Messrs. Fred Postal, V. R. Davy. M.E.
Parkinson and Geo. W. Miuchin, visited
Clare aud were taken hi tow by Messrs.
0. II. Sutherland. A. J. Doherty and John
Giberson. three of tho enterprising citizens of our neighboring town, and by
their aid we were, soon enabled to ascertain tliat they preferred to celebrate at

hose company and base ball club will
come and compete for prizes and help
amuse the spectators. A special train
will bring them over in thc morning and
VPturn in tlie evening. Our peopie visited Clare last Jth and were royally entertained, and the determination of the committee is that Evart shall not be outdone
and they call on the people to uid them.
Why We Blush.
The editor of the Eyart Review was
one of a party of gentlemen from that
town to visit us one day recently .md
from the aforesaid paper we clip the following complimentary notice:
We were very favorably impressed by
the appearance of Clare, when we visited
that place for the first time last Tuesday.
It is well situated, and in point of railroads is fixed, having two through lines
and the Harrison branch of the F. & P.
JI, B'j'. The country around about Clare,
we understand, is what is known as hard
Wood land, very well developed and improving fast. The town issupplied with
water works and a good fire department,
and an enterprising and stirring class of
inhabitants. We noticed several brick
business blocks going up, and other evidences of thrift' not noticable in dead
towns. We called upon Bro. Eaton of
the Democrat-Press, which, by tlie way,
is one ofthe most wide awake newspapers in Michigan—which probably accounts in a degree for the good name
Clare bears among the towns of the
state.
