Show To Clean an Old Clock. Have any of the readers of tho National Na-tional a clock they value that seems to bo near the end of Its career of usefulness? Does It skip i beat now and then, and when It begins to strlko seem to be in pain? I-ct mo tell you what to do. Take a bit of cotton batting bat-ting tl-e size of n hen's egg, dip It in kerosene and ,'nco It on the floor of tho clock, In tlo comer, shut tho door of tho clock o;ul wait threo or four days. Your clock will he llko a now ono skip no more, It will strike as of old, and as you look Inside you will find tho cotton batting black with dust. Tho fumes of the oil loosen tho par tlcleH of dust, and thry fall, thus cleaning clean-ing tho clock. I have tried It with buc-ress buc-ress Nutlonal Mngnzlne. |
