The black-silk market
shows signs of breaking all
round. 1t is rather odd that
merchants should have let
us seem to have our own way
so long. We couldn't help

porous times and ready trade.
Indeed we mean to have the
latter anyhow. When we
put Guinet at. three-quarters,
we meant to make things
lively. We can't stand idle.
It's better to sell without pro-
fit. The way to prosperous
times again is by taking
times as they are and keep
ling busy. Nobody knows
What quantities Of merchan-
|dise pass through a busy
place like this; nor what re-
lief it is to the strained con-
|dition Of things to get the
surplus merchandise into the
hands OF those who will wear
lit out.

that black silks are as low

Why They Do Not Marry.

At a small party of workers and
thinkers the other night, says a let
ter writer in this city, / was in a
group that discussed the distaste
for smarriage which characterizes
the girlheod of the day. One
young lady had fortified herself
with a newspaper clipping on the
subject, which she drew from her
pocket and read, as further substan-
stating her position. 1t was to the
effect that husband hunting maid
ems, young and old, were very much
scarcer than of yore; that instead of
being anxious to marry, girls were
slow of inducement in that direc-
ton.
at is true" SAID the young lady,
II scarcely know girl who wants
to marry. They are learning
something in the way of a profes-
sion, something that will interest
them as well as support them, two

Kalsomininp.

To do a good job of kalsomining,
one must fully understand the bust
ness. Amy one may be able to mix
little size with whiting and daub it
over a wall, but to have a correct eye
for both size and kalsOmine is a
very different thing. My receipt is
the result of eighteen years expert
ence, and can be depended upon. 1t
is as follows:
To make a size that will neither
scale nor rub up under the kalso-
mine, take one pound of good bar
soap, one pound of artists white
glue and two pounds of pulveri6ed
alum: dissolve the three separately,
each il one quart of boiling water;
strain the soap and glue into a
bucket and add the alum slowly so
that it will not efTervesce too much ;
then add one quart OF clear cold
water and the size is ready for use.
This should size 800 feet Of surface
if put on properly.
To make kalsomine, take 10 lbs.
of good Paris white, mix 1T up with
lukewarm water, then add one
quarter pound artists white glue,
dissolved in hot water; strain
through a fine sieve; dissolve one
quarter pound soap in hot water,
and one half pound of alum in cold
water and add the soap and alum to
the white. One coat will cover per-
feetly on either new or whitewashed
walls, leaving & glossy surface when
the size is dry, and beautiful egg
shell gloss to the kalsomine. 1t is
always best to use the proper kali
somine brush, although it may be
put on with a whiteYash brush.

roles In which husbands Just now
fail The truth is, we are all scar
ed away from any desire to marry
he seeing how .wretched those who
do marry are. Where would we
look for husbands? Among the
'snips' and characteTless young
men that fill our drawing rooms?
They are insutferable as mere &C
quaIntances or beaux; who could
contemplate them as husbands? l
have always thought that if could
find young man at all like my ia
ther | could love him and marry
him; that school of men have van
ished from the younger ranks"
Nobody doubts that she express
ed the convictions OF large repre-
sentation of young women. Their
lack of interest in marriage is not
due to the large activities which
continually open before women, but
to- the unattractive, unreliable ma
terial. Women are women, and
would love and marry as readily to
day as when the earth was new, if
they came in contact with men who
arouse their respect and admiration.
The order of maidenhOod that
could content itself with an inferior
article Of husband merely for the
sake of being married has also van
ished. The young woman of the
period has too much character and
selfrespect to dread being an old
maid so much she would contract an
uneongenial union to escape it.
The same evening l had a chat
with my bright young hostess
about inefficient men, sort of an
mex to the conversation just re
corded. She wondered what would
become of the human race if the
men kept on deteriorating at the
rate of the last twenty years. She
declared it WAS almost exceptional
for the young men of the first class
society to support their wives.
They married into rich families,
and at the end of two or three
years were pensioners on the rela-
tiOns of their wives. cit is aston
ishing," she said, chow few young
men who are supposed to be rich |
depend upon their fathers for |
even support. Their fathers or
grandfatherss furnish the money |
that supplies their homes oftener
than the outside world knows of. |
Indeed the daughter of the rich
man is more to be pitied than the
girl who fights poverty. She sees
fewer real men. Naturally she fan
cies that her ideal man must be
since they are not with
in her own circle, and she looks for
them in ordinary places-on the
box of her fathers coach and on
huckster wagons or on :the stage.
in the efficiency attracts
her, because she is sick of inefi-
cheney. The man who can drive a
coach may be very unsteady in
grammar, but his mastery of the
horses appeals more to her imagi-
nation than the fine phrases of an
dude. 1t indicates a
certain degree of force,and strength,

Gent men are increasingF"

who feels secure-whO has conf

A lady employed young girl
about fifteen years old to assist her
about her hel homework and one
day she was making some cake,
and wishing to put some kind of
plums in it; so she set down on the
table with plums, and told the
girl to stone them, and took the
Stone out of one, with the remark:
"That is the way"
Then, thinking the girl under
stood what she meant, she put the
plum she had into her mouth, in
stead of the dish, and went away.
What was her surprise short time
after, to have the girl come into the
room where she was, and tell her
she had eaten all she could. When
the lady went in the room where
she had been at work, she found
she had put all the stones into the
dish, ande aten ali she could of the
plums; she thinking that the hard
pieces-maaniDg the stones-would

1t is said that a company has
been formed in New York City for
securing pure milk by new pro-
cess. Fresh, pure milk, made in 10
calities where feed is cheap, is
canned, bottled and corked when
first drawn from the COW, and i'm
mediately heated in water or
steam, both under a pressure of the
atmosphere. 1t is then cooled, af-
ter which it may be kept a year
without undergoing any changes.
Heating restores all germs, and bot
ting prevents all connection with
the outside air. Should the method
prove equal to the expections ofthe
projectors it will work a revolution
in the milk business.

Now that the heat of summer has
come, great care must be exercised
to provide the fowls with an album
dance of fresh, cool water. If the
pans are exposed to the suns rays,
an hours time will heat the water
to such an extent that tho hens
will not enjoy it. See how they
crowd up to get a taste Of the fresh
water you supply If possible, re
fill the pans three times a day, or
oftener; and when this cannot be
done, see that the drinking vessels
are large, so that the water does not
become warm so quickly. A soan
box with one side off is of consid-
cradle advantage. 1t prevents the
fowls from turning the pan, and if
the closed side is turned towards
the south, the water will keep fresh
much longer.
