when taken down they should be thoroughly cleaned both inside and out and if a new lining or other repairs are needed now is the time to attend to this go over the outside of both stove and pipe with common stovepolish and avoid all kinds of varnish the use of the palish thoroughly rubbed on with a brush is not for appearance merely bat it formb a thin film over the iron and prevents it from becoming rusty the pipe should have ail loose dust knocked out and if it is necessary- to separate the joints first mark them with chalk in such a manner that they can readily be put together again much of the proverbial annoyance in put ting up a stove is due to a neglect of this simple precaution all loose parts includ ing legs should be wrapped in coarse paper and placed inside of the stove before it is put away not forgetting the poker handles and whatever else belongs with it stoves should always be stored in a dry tight place where water cannot accidently reach them it is a aseful precaution to wrap them in old canvas or even newspapers personals mr w w gordon of glencoe spent a few days this week with friends here mrs m kelson of berlin is the guest of mr w h howell of the
