USE FOR OLD GLOVES.
Chßoce Discovery of a Bit of Hunts
Kid Work Opens Op a New Field
for Economists.
What to do with old kid gloves is
very frequently a source of reflection
for the frugal-minded utilitarian averse
to throwing away anything that can
possibly be turned to account. Long
stretches of suede or kid are consigned
with regret to the rag bag and it was
only recently and quite by chance that
a modern piece of Huniskid work and
a curious old letter case, met with in a
curiosity shop, appeared to throw some
light on the question. The mirror case
is one of those which may be picked up
occasionally with other objects deco
rated in like manner. The foundation
is of deep plum-colored velvet, about
six inches long; the cut-out ornament
laid over this is white kid, pasted upon
blue paper, and fastened down by long
stitches of silver thread; the spangles
are silver, fixed down by short lengths
of silver bullion brought round to form
a very diminutive loop. The center
ornament, as is plainly indicated, is
covered with long threads of silver
twist. The mirror is fixed to a back
made of stiff card, and this is united to
CUT KID MIRROR CASE.
the front by a loosely woven silver
braid, firmly stitched to both sides.
The front has, after the work is com
pleted, been lined with a piece of
orange linen, and the opening for the
mirror cut subsequently; the point of
junction to the outer border is clearly
defined, so there will be no difficulty
on this point. The little tassels which
complete this dainty little object are
of orange silk and a twist of green is
passed through the little silver loops
at the top. An antique letter case is
yet more simple as regards materials,
as it requires nothing but the very
thin leather of which the original is
formed, or kid gloves of various tints
pasted onto thin cartridge paper, or
better still, perhaps, the glazed linen
used for blinds.—Chicago News.
How to Cook Pea Soap.
This very favorite soup needs a quart
of peas, three quarts of water, a stick
of celery, two onions, some meat or
ham bones, and pepper and salt to fla
vor. The peas should soak over night
in cold water, and be boiled next day
in a saucepan with the water and other
ingredients. Boil until the peas are
tender, then pulp through a sieve, and
boil again. A little mixture should be
added if the mixture seems clogged and
thick. Stir frequently at this stage,
and sprinkle in some dried mint. When
once more boiling, the soup is ready,
and should be served with crisp fried
croutons of bread. Pea soup requires
to cook fully three hours to be satis
factory.
When Forcing Flower Bulbs.
When bulbs are forced, water for the
first time very heavily, so that it is a
* certainty thnt the water has penetrated
to the bottom of the pot. This, then,
will be sufficient until the pot is taken
from the dark cool place to more heat
and light. When the pots are set away
for the bulbs to undergo the rooting
process it is a good plan to set them
on cinders. This not only insuresdrain
uge if accidentally overwatered cr
soaked in some way, but prevents the
liability of earthworms working their
way up through the hole in the bottom
of the pot. —Woman’sllomeCompanion.
Lemon Whitens the Hands.
For the hands that have become
tanned or sunburnt, just before going
to bed bathe them in warm water
nnd soap; rinse them in tepid water so
that all the soapy water has disap
peared, and then dabble them with
lemon juice, if your skin is very sensi
tive dilute the lemon juice, but when it
is applied ajlow it to dry on the hands.
Sleep in gloves, nnd after the third
night’s care your hands will be as fair
and soft as the hands of any of Shakes
peare's heroines. —Ladies’ Home Jour
nal.
To Mend Waterproof Cloth.
Muckiutoshes, which with autumnal
rains become necessities, may be mend
ed when torn in the following manner:
Dissolve some pieces of pure india rub
ber in naphtha to create a stiff paste;
choose a piece of stuff as much like the
waterproof material as possible, and
apply some of the cement to it nnd to
the torn edges of the mackintosh. Then
bring the torn parts over the new ma
terial to form a patch and place a
weight over the part until the cement is
quite set and firm.
Family Resemblance.
Something less than 50 blocks from
the corner of Franklin and Jackson
streets, sys the San Francisco News
Letter, resides a young mother, the
fourth wife of a venerable and digni
fied husband, who is immensely proud
of hjs latest paternity.
“Don’t you think my baby is very
like her father?" asked the fond nnd
nnxlous young mother of her satirical
sister.
“Yes," wa the enthusiastic answer.
“She Is the very image of the old gen
tleman. She hasn’t a tooth in her
wouib nor a, hair on her head 1"
FRILLS OF FASHION.
Notes on the Modes for Ladles Who
Keep Up with the Times
In Dresa.
Velvet toques trimmed with fur and !
fur toques trimmed with velvet were
equally popular for afternoon wear at
the horse show. Sable, chinchilla and
baby lamb are the furs most employed
in millinery. The toque made entirely
of fur has a rosette bow of colored
velvet at one side or one of mousseline
de soie, with two black ostrich tips. A .
bunch of velvet flowers is also very ef- •
fective. The velvet used for toques is
covered with rows of stitching. Feather
toques are a novelty in Paris, and are
trimmed with shaded wings.
Last season's fur capes are made very
smart by sloping off the front edges '.o
give the round shape so much sought
after, and sewing a frill of chiffon or
real lace on the inside edge. Ermin J
capes are especially pretty finished in
this way, and cream lace with sable is
always effective.
One of the special novelties in silks
Is a taffeta in various pretty bright col
ei's, embroidered in white silk, with j
golf sticks and balls, horseshoes or i
footballs. It is a foregone conclusion
that these are especially designed for
shirt waists to be worn in the young
girls’ kingdom at the various sports.
Black satin cords made—not covered
—as a trimming to be used like bra'd
are very effective in patterns or sewn
on in straight rows quite close together.
White satin cords are especially pret
ty sewn on white tulle and net for
yokes, collars and vests.
If you want to use some real lacs
which has been stowed away in the
treasure box for years, edge it with
a tiny ruche of white mousseline de soie
and arrange it in a bertha on your even
ing gown.
Jet is very much the fashion for trim
ming theater w-aists and evening gown'
generally. Black net well covered with
jet pallettes in pretty designs is quite
as popular for entire costumes as it was
last season, hut it is made more elegant
than ever by the lavish use of cream oi
white lace, Venetian point being espe
cially desirable. One pretty theater
waist of white silk has a small diamond
design outlined with narrow jet em
broidery all over the lower portion,
while above this is a fichu of white
chiffon edged with narrow ruffles
trimmed with narrow black velvet rib
bon.
Eton jackets falling in short rounded
tabs below the waist line or belted
across the back and sides with the
round tab ends only in front are ex
tremely smart this season. They are
covered with applique embroidery or
decorated in various cut-out designs
showing white silk or cloth through the
spaces.
A novelty in waists to wear with your
Eton coat is tnade of white .velvet and
simply finished with ruches or shirrings
of yellow chiffon and has a rhinestone
clasp at the center of the cravat bow,
also of yellow.
Round rosettes of black velvet baby
ribbon are used as a trimming on lace
evening gowns.
Cherry red taffeta is the latest thing
for petticoats, and if you would be
quite up to date have corsets to match.
Fancy muffs of velvet to match the
hat are displayed very temptingly
among the extravagant novelties. They
are flat in effect and made with a double
ruffle at each end, but large in size. A
stylish sable muff in a similar style
has a wide circular frill at each end, is
lined with white satin and is finished
on the edges with tiny short tails set
on two or three inches apart all around.

FLANNEL LORE.
It Is Something Which Many Women
Are Bat Very Little Ac
quainted With.
The ignorance of women concerning
things which they have been using all
their lives is strange, nnd almost seems
to reflect upon their general intelli
gence. There was a woman at the wool
en underwear counter in one of the best
shops of the city the other day buying
underwear for children. She was ap
parently a woman of the class one
would expect to see us a regular cus
tomer in such a shop.
She must have been 40 or more, was
well dressed, a cultivated woman, ap
parently, intelligent if not intellectual,
but she was ashing the clerk questions
which seemed strangely out of place
coming from a woman with a family.
She inquired carefully concerning the
quality of cotton garments, wool gar
ments, and cotton and wool combined,
which would and which would not
shrink, and what the clerk was selling
for winter wear.
“I am selling these garments,” he
said, referring to some at which she hud
been looking, “for between season
wear.” She gauged her purchases by
his answer.
There was a woman who, at the low
est estimate, had been buying under
wear for 20 years, and she did not know
what would and would not shrink, and
she did not know what weight gar
ments to buy for the children until the
clerk told her what he was selling. It
might be possible in this case that this
1 Individual woman was buying for chil
dren not her own, and other excuses
might be given, but hers is not an un
usual case. She repeated the questions
of probably three-quarters of the wom
en who bought goods of that clerk. It
might be well for women to devote a
tittle time to experiment with flannels,
and in a month they would learn some
valuable lessons which they would not
forget. There is a woman up town who
has a special flannel washing da)-, and
has all the woolen flannels that all the
members of the family wear washed iq
warm soapsuds, rinsed thoroughly,
fried quickly in the house, and, when
nearly dry, the pr*)cess completed with
lot too hot irons. Those flannels nevei
.brink.—N. Y. Times.
DEEP SEA LIFE.
Submarine Animals Have Been Ad
justed to tbe Pressure of
the Water.
When marine life began to command
notice, the question of the depth to
which life could extend divided scien
tific thought into warring camps.
jAbout 1840 it was generally believed
ithat the bathymetrical limit was about
300 fathoms, and some strange ideas
were current as to the physical condi
tion of the water when under a pres
sure such as a depth of two miles would
produce. It was thought that skele
tons of drowned men or even heavy
cannon and the “wedges of gold” that
popular imagination places in the sea,
floated at certain levels, beneath which
is water so compressed as to be impene
trable. In fact, says the North Ameri
-1 can Review, water is almost incompres
sible, and the weight of a cubic inch of
it at the depth of a mile is very little
more than at the surface, but it was
assumed that no living being could
survive a pressure which at 1,000 fath
oms is about a ton to the square
inch. We ourselves live under a pres-
I'sure of about 15 pounds to the square
! inch and are unaware of it. Indeed,
we sometimes waken on a morning
when the barometer has risen, say, half
an inch during the night, and conse
quently find ourselves sustaining an
increased pressure of several tons, not
only without suffering, but with a pos
itive feeling of buoyancy and good spir
its. On the other hand, if the tremen
dous pressure under which we live be
relieved as by a surgical “cup,” severe
, injury may follow. Aeronauts suffer
| from this cause and marine animals
dredged from great depth often reach
j the surface in a most lamentable condi
tion, with eyes protruding and viscera
distended.
DIFFERENCE EXPLAINED.
There la Considerable Between the
Oases from Anthracite and
Bituminous Coal.
Prof. Ihlseug, of the state college,
Pennsylvania, gives an interesting ex
planation of the difference between
anthracite and bituminous coal, so far
as the gases are concerned, his opinion
being based on the supposition of all
coal beds having been originally
formed on a horizontal or flat bed.
The anthracite beds, he assumes, were
placed under enormous pressure, oi
side pressure, by the contraction of
the earth's crust during the cooling
stage, thus forming the coal basins as
now seen at the foot of the mountains;
such an enormous pressure resulted in
forcing the explosive and other gases
out of the anthracite beds to the eeam.-
and crevices of the veins and to the
fissures, seams and pores of the rock
strata. This compression has been so
great that gases in the anthracite re
gion are sometimes found with the
mighty pressure of 17,000 pounds to the
square inch. On the other hand, the
bituminous beds have not been sub
jected to such a disturbance and pres
sure, and the coal, therefore, retains
the gases which it contained original
ly. White damp, Prof. Ihlseng shows,
is produced by imperfect combustion,
while black damp is produced by per
fect combustion, and destroys life by
being devoid of sustaining elements.
A cough is not like a fever. It does
not have to run a certain course. Cure it

AUCTIONS AT HOME.
How tlic Daughter* of a Wcatern Mil
lionaire Sell Their Clothes
to Each Other.
“In a family of my town,” said a
western woman to a New York friend,
“there is a little custom which
is often amusing, and which is.
I think, quite original. The father
is a millionaire, and, unlike many
rich fathers, he leaves his checks
blank when he signs them, and ndver
asks any questions. One result of this
sometimes is thoughtless expenditure.
I won’t say extravagance, because the
daughters would not willingly disre
gard their privilege. But when one
makes a purchase which she afterward
regrets, instead of returning it, as
most women would do, an auction is
held in the household, and the article
is sold to the highest bidder. The auc
tioneer is the original purchaser.
“Sometimes the auction is very amus
ing, and the manner of the sale shows
>i woman’s cunning. When I was there
last a dress which cost S3OO was
knocked down to one of the sisters for
sls. There were no other bidders. The
‘auctioneer’ was slightly disappointed,
■but she didn't know that the purchaser
had entered into an agreement with
her other sisters not to bid against
them on other articles if they wouldn't
bid against her on the dress.”
GOT EVEN WITH THE HOUSE.
Ilow a Saratoga Walter Turned the

count.
With summer hotels closed and win
ter resorts in the south still suffering
on account of the war, there are hun
dreds of waiters out of work, and they
spend their days in the various offices
and resorts where people are likely to
go when they look for a colored man
servant, says the New Y'ork Tribune.
There accounts of summer experi
ences are exchanged, and landlords and
head waiters’ good and bad qualities
discussed.
"1 got the best of our boss last sum
mer," said one waiter who had served
his term at Saratoga. “We had to pay
25 cents apiece for everything we broke,
nnd one week 1 had three pieces to
pay for, and every cent came hard be
cause the horses didn't come right for
me that week. It didn't make any dif
ference if the piece was a teacup or a
teupot, it was 25 cents apiece, nnd on
pay day I just dropped a big vegetable
dish for luck. It made the 75 cents
one dollar, but I got even with the
30116."

EARLY MARINE ENGINEERING.
Time Wm When to Blow Steam
Whistles Was Recorded an In
sult or a Challenge.
In IS3O gongs for the engine rooms
were unknown, and in many of the
boats, when the pilot was in his house
(if there was one) or on the deck over
the engine room, he would signal to
the engineer by the strokes of a stick
ci cane upos the floor of the house or
deck. All boats, of course, carried bells,
and by them all notices of departure
end of arrival were made known, and
all salutes between boats were given
by their bells. To blow steam, as is
now done by a whistle, was intended to
be a challenge or an insult.
! In July, 1837, the first steam launch,
the Sweetheart, 35 feet in length, four j
feet three inches of beam, and three feet
depth, engine, 4x12 inches, wheel three
feet six inches in diameter, and boiler
horizontal fire-tubular, designed and
. constructed at the United States navy
yard, New York, by the writer, then
chief engineer of the navy, was com
pleted, and on her trial and succeeding
trips around the city of New York was
snluted with the bells of passing steam
boats and cheered by people who rushed
to the end of the piers to witness the
revel sight. She attained a speed of
8.5 miles per hour. The engine was
subsequently transferred to the United
States naval school at Annapolis.
Fuel, up to the year 1836, was wholly
pine wood, though up to that time some
owners of steamboats commenced ex
perimenting upon the practicability of
using authracite coal. A steamboat on
her route of six or more hours could
not have the capacity in her fire room
to contain all the wood required, and
was compelled to pile it upon her side
houses; and such boats as were ou a
long route, as from New York to Prov
idence, were compelled to invade their
upper deck with wood, and upon leav
ing the city had somewhat the sem
blance of a floating wcodyard.
In 1839 anthracite coal was intro
duced in the furnaces of the steamboat
North America plying on the Hudson
river between New York and Albany,
and to aid its combustion when a high
pressure of steam was required a fan
blower, driven by a belt from the wheel
shaft, was first resorted to, but soon
afterward a small independent engine
was used, connected by a belt to the
blower. Anthracite coal was soon aft
ejward first burned without aux
iliary draught in the open furpace of
a steam boiler. —Cassier’s Magazine.
DIALECTS IN AUSTRIA.
There Are Widely Different Tonorue.
Spoken In the Various
Provinces.
In the Austrian Alps the local dia
lects so vary as to be unintelligible
from one district to another, and yet
liave been cultivated in paseion plays
and popular poetry. Over and above
these dialects are scattered—chiefly in
lower Austria, but even round Vienna
—Slav colonies, Czechs, Slovaks, Croats.
In Vienna itself the Czechs claim to be
150,000. Slovenians spread over three
crownlands Styria, Carinthia and
Carniola—and dominate in the last,
which contains also Uscoks, Homan
Catholic Serbs, but the Slovenians seem
to be retreating before the Germans.
Of these a remarkable group occurs
in the barren Gottschee country, south
east of Laybach, only inhabited since
the fourteenth century. Here again we
find a dialect unintelligible to other
Germans, jet rich in tales and poetry
Strange to say, the reawakening of the
Slovenian race in the course of the lasi
hundred years seems to have been de
termined by the first Napoleon, who re
placed German in the normal schools
of the so-called Illyrian provinces (six
in number) by Slovene and called forth
the passionate admiration of the Slov
enian poets. Tyrol and Vorarlberg.
again, are divided' between Germans.
Italians and “Ladins” (Latins), the so
called Ilomansch of Switzerland.
In the Tyrol also each valley has its
own pronunciation, its own nccent, its
expressions unintelligible a few miles
off. The Ladins were predominant in
the sixteenth and seventeenth cen
turies; toward the eighteenth century
the Italians got the upper hand, but
seem now to be becoming gradually
outnumbered by the Germans. The
Ladins form a curious little group of
from 10,000 to 20,000 in Tyrol, with
nearly 50.000 in Friulli (besides the 40,-
000 of the Grisons). Their language is
nearer to Provencal or Catalonian than
to Italian. They chiefly inhabit the val
leys, while the German climbs the
mountain sides, just as he has done in
Bohemia, the Czechs mainly'occupying
the plains.—London Spectator.
In Four Hours.
A division of Russian cavalry, to
gether with horse artillery', has re
cently been exercised in crossing the
Niemen river, near Ivovno, as nearly as
possible under war conditions. The
river is about 250 yards wide, and some
20 feet deep, with a fairly strong cur
rent. One regiment of dragoons swam
across with their horses in 33 minutes,
another in 36 minutes, and a Cossack
regiment, sotnia succeeding sotnia, got
across in 29 minutes. The men’s arms
and clothes, together with the few men
who could not swim, were taken across
in boats or on rafts, and improvised
rafts carried the guns and wagons.
The whole division got across in four
hours, and there were no mishaps of
any importance. The weather was wet
and therefore not favorable to the ex
periment.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
l-o.e Welßht In School Examination..
The weights of classes of students
before and after examination have been
c.ade the subject of recent investiga
tion. In high classes, where naturally
the responsibility of the examination
to be gone through was more felt, sev
eral pounds were lost, showing how the
mental strain wns felt. In lower classes
the lose was not so great.—Y T outh'

OF HIS NEWLY DISCOVERED REM
EDIES TOCURE CONSUMPTION
AND ALL LUNO TROUBLES.
Nothing could be fairer, more philan
thropic or carry more joy to the afflicted,
than the offer of T. A. Slocum, M. C., of
183 Pearl street, New York City.
Confident that he has discovered an ab
solute cure for consumption and all pul
monary complaints, and to makeitsgreat
merits known, he will send, free, three
bottles of medicine, to any reader of The
Midland Journal who is suffering from
chest, bronchial, throat and lung troubles
or consumption.
Already this “new scientific course of
medicine” has permanently cured thou
sands of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it his religious
duty—a duty which he owes to humanity
—to donate his infallible cure.
Offered freely, is enough to commend it,
and more so is the perfect confidence of
the great chemist making the proposition.
He has proved the dreaded consumption
to lie a curable disease beyond any doubt,
There will be no mistake in sending—
the mistake will be in overlooking the
generous invitation. He has on file in his
American and European laboratories tes
timonials of experience from those cured,
in all parts of the world.
