The Process by Which Posts Are Made

Indestructible.
In agricultural and other journals
thirty or forty years ago. much was said
rof "Kyanizing." process by which
wood is rendered insusceptib.e of decay.
How long the process had then been
known, the writer is unaware; in the
United States Patent Office report OF
1861, it is stated that Mr.. Ryan. OF En-

to have it generally adapted as means
of preserving ship timber. Originally,
"a solution of corrosive sublimate was
forced into the wood, but other and less
expensive agents were atterward en-
ployed with equal success. Sulphate OF
iron. or coppe-as. sulphate OF copper.
or blue vitriol and chloride of zinc are
some of the cb amicals thus used. The
philosophy of the process is. that the

COAT SLEEVES.

The Distinctive Features Of Ladies'
Dresses, and How They are Modelled.
Coat sleeves still prevail, and are cut
to conform more closely to the arm at
the TOP than they were last season; in
deed, there is scarcely any fulness when
they are sewed in the armhole. Ii the
high effect is desired, instead of giving
it by inside padding. it is ROW made by
cap outside the sleeve consisting Of
three or four bias folds of the material
passed under the arm aud tapping on a
curve on top. The cuffs are exceeding
IL simple. and nothing detracts more
from style than a bunchy trimming
about the wrists. Some of the prettiest
CUTS are made by cutting the sleeve an
inch and half too long. then ripping
theinside seam, turning the extra length
backward, and facing it with velvet;
this gives pretty revers, which can be
made very dressy By gathering lace In
side. The new way Of putting lace liz
| sleeves is to have two frills. each con
tanning seven-eighths of yard of lace
not quite three inches deep; these are
gathered to lap. the upper frill nearly
covering the lover, and most OF the
fullness being massed at the OUTSIDE
seam of the sleeve. A small, tightly
strapped bow of ribbon is set on the in
! side seam at the wrist of some sleeves
turned-back cuffs are preferred. bu
there are also simple bands of bias vel

A Change ia the Great Seal,

A report has deem circulated that the new
Administration has found serious defects in
the great seal of tho United States, and
that new seal is to be made at once to cou-
form with the design prescribed by statute
at the formation of the Government. This
interesting report is not unfounded, but
one of its important features is untrue. The
discovery was made long ago that the great
seal is inexact in minor details.
The American eagle, which should clutch
thirteen arrows in its talons emblematic Of
the original colonies, has on the present
seal but six or seven arrows in its claws.
Some other less important details arc mex
act, but the design is on so small scale as
to render the inaccuracies almost invisible.
An army officer, who has made national
seals and emblems life study, has been
endeavoring for long time to secure the
abandonment of the imperfect seal. His
protests did not command attention, aud
the great seal continued to occupy its place
of honor in the State Department., and the
impression continued to be affixed to COM
missions, proclamations aud other docu-
ments issued by the President and counter
signed by the Secretary of State.
The seal gradually wore away with long
service, and it became necessary to have q
new seal made. The last Congress made an
appropriation for new seal, and Secretary
Bayard will soon take steps to have it exc.
cuted. The new design will conform as
accurately as possible to the statute pro-
visions, in which the seal is minutely de.
scribed. The changes will not be observ-
able on casual examination of the seal,

The work of the Departments and all the

Of ali all.summer Administration will be

Business men will pay as much attention

every interest of the city, and ono which
all classes welcome with pleasure and con-
