How Cosby FAeRlc9 ARE CLEANED

49,
Treatment of tiEe Laces-Cleansing Web
vet-Ienewing Actresses Costumes.
A careless waiter or an accident at the
dinner table may cause the apparent
ruin Of laces, silks, or velyets worth
large sums Of money. II the lady tries
to clean them herself she makes matters
worse and makes it impossible for the
professional cleaners to do anything with
them afterward. These cleaners have
peculiar methods in renovating these
delicate fabrics and many of them they
will not reveal, as they are secrets of
their trade.
The treatment of fine laces," said n
cleaner, us an extensive and trouble
some process. A thick blanket Of soft
rags IS sewcd around a bottle, and on
this the lace is pinned. 1t is quite i'm
possible to rub lace, rs it would tear 1t
to pieces. The bottle is then placed in n
bath Of soapy warm water. After soak-
ing for twenty minutes 1t Is boiled for
some time and then allowed to cool. 1t
is dipped in several baths of clear water
until all the soap seems to be removed.
The lace is then removed from the bot
tie, and. after part Of the water is driven
out by gentle pressure, IT Is hung up to
dry.
After a time it is laid on n soft cloth
to dry still more. When still
slightly damp it is placed on a
hair cushion covered with flannel,
and is fastened there with lace pins.
This is a work of skill and patience. A
pin is passed through each loop and a
twist is given before the pin is fastened.
Sometimes the loop is drawn straight
and sometimes not, the operator seeking
to follow the original design of the lace.
When quite dry the lace is sponged
with n weak solution of gum arabic, and
when dry again, it is almost rs good as
new.
"The method Of cleansing velvet is a
secret; it can be greatly freshened by
steaming it over boiling water, care be
ing taken to expose the wrong side Of
the velvet to the steam, but this is use
full only where the damage is not very
great. Ican tell you only that the pro-
cess is n dry one, and chalk is used in
it. Velvet that has been vet is hard to
treat, but we have been able to do won
ders with it,.
at is a very common thing for ac-
tresses TO bring elaborate silk and satin
costumes to be renewed, and we also
have many fine ball dresses. We do not
take them apart, but cleanse them as
they are. They are first dipped in a
bath of naphtha, and this removes ink,
champagne and many other stains. Then
they go into a bath of pure benzine,
which takes out all the grease. They
are softly rubbed in these baths, and
any suOts remaining are treated with OK
allie acid. They are rinsed out in warm
water and dried over steam coils. To
iron them would harden the silk and
make it shiny. so it is run over steam
rolls, or ironed between %flnnne's. We
have ironers whose business it is to iron
dresses, and when they have finished a
dress it looks new. Mildow is removed
by oxalic acid. New York Sun.

Biologists are far from agreed as to
whether metallic veins are filled from
above, by slow deposition from solutions,
or from below, by volcanic action, which
forces metallic ores, either melted or dis
solved in water or gas, into the available
c~revices and leaves them there to so
lidify.
The fact that the interior substance
of the earth is far heavier than the solid
crust and must apparently consist al
most entirely Of melted metal, gives
some support to the latter theory, but
many other circumstances oppose IL, and
as sea water is found to contain all the
metals in small quantities, the theory
that most metallic veins have originated
in some way from the separation Of the
metals from water is perhaps the most
popular. OF late, however, a new theory
has been put forward, which seems to
combine the plausible features of the
other two. American Architect,

The Genuine Tar-HeeI Hiss.

Up the perfume-swept avenue of
love and under the roseate archway of
Hymen they had passed into the joy-lit
realms of that higher and holier exist
ence where soul meets soul on limpid
waves of ecstatic feeling, and hearts
touch hearts through the blended chan
mel of lips in rapture linked, Theyhad just
been made man and wife, and their souls
must meet and ''swap a swap of labial
endearment. And now, how can we de
scribe that osculatory performance? 1t
wasnot a spasmodic kiss, like a stopper
flying out of n champagne bottle; or a
stationary kiss, like cow pulling her
foot out of mire; neither was it one of
those long, lingering, languishing kisses
which lovers give when hid by clustering
vines from the glance of moonbeams.
No, none of these, but it was. to be al
lucrative, kind of slunchwise. Sian
tindicular, soup-supping, sop.sipping
meeting of the lips, which went for the
whole hog of endearment or none: and
that is the way two hearts began to beat
as one,-Wilson IN. O. Mirror.

A Protracted Bridal Tonr that Has
Not Yet Ended.

n IEplEatNCu tIlAJ
Not Yet Ended.
A Bridgeport Comm dispatch gives a
brief history of a remarkable family, con-
sisting of father, mother and nine cid
rem, stopping there temporarily. Mr..
Charles F. Russell, the father, is a gentle
man of culture. Fourteen years ago he
married Miss Chippendale, of Padding
ton, England, part of the marriage con-
tract being that should Providence bless
them with an heir Mr. Russell would hold
himself bound to take his wife around
the world. About thirteen years ago a
son was borne, and shortly thereafter
Mr. and Mrs. Russell started upon the
promised trip. Before the entire circuit
of the globe was made another son was
born. and Mr.. Russell felt himself called
upon to make another LAP" He says
he has been travelling around the world
for nearly thirteen years, and has made
but seven complete circuits. He and his
family are now on their eighth circuit.
He says they always travel westward,
seldom repeating the same route. This
trip they crossed the Atlantic to Canada,
and are now on their way to New York.
They travel with as little baggage as pos
pible, one portmanteau performing ser
vice for three. The nine children are
bright, speaking most of the languages
of the world. While playing around the
room their utterances most resemble the
dialects used at the building of the Tow
er of Bable Hisaccounts of experiences
in Japan, India, Delhi and BarackpOre
would fill volumes. His family have
been transported by cars, steamers, ele-
plants, camels, asses, slaves, junks and
gondolas, and speak in the most bewil-
dering manner of Chinese forts, the
Pearl Mosque, Mohammedan cities, the
Hindoos, Paris, Cairo and New York,
Mr.. Russell says he was originally of the
belief that constant travelling through
the cities of the earth would educate his
children, but he is now afraid that ulti
mately they will all become tramps
England is his home, but he has lived Sc
long ION the fly that he hardly knows
how they could ever settle down.

who sat in broker Schwartz's office, ''has
a little grandson now who has altogether
supplanted the famous Jay-Eye-See in
the gruff millionaire's big heart" When
the miilionaire's youngest daughter lost
her heart it went into the possession of a
young fellow who had no money and
who had simply moderate place in the
office of the Racine Plow Works. ''Oh,
yes, take her if you want her. You don't
get anything with her, though, mind
that; not id penny" was the answer
which the sutton got when he asked the
old mans consent. There was only a
modest wedding, and the couple moved
into a little cottage rented by the hus-
band. Give 'em a house? No, by!
Let 'em hustle" was the way the old
man met plea from the girls mother.
Didn't we have to hustle, Ell? Are
they any better'n us p
The old man went along and spent
thousands on his famous gelding. The
young couple moved along in humdrum
way like scores of other modest couples
in Racine. The young man hustled, .
got around every day, paid his debts
promptly and saved a little money.
Then came little youngster-a boy.
Rough old Case got around to see it;
got around oftener after that He used
to dance the boy on his knee.
"Whatcher goin' to call him 2" blurted
out the old man one day.

his grandfather" replied the pretty
young mother.
"See here, young fellow" said the
rough man of money, who started life
as blacksmith, "here is 100000 for
you. I'll start you in business"
So now the old man dances his grand
son on his knees, the young man hustles
on his own account, the young mother
looks prettier than ever and Jay-Eye-
Sees nose IS completely broken.
