istration. On the contrary, there has
been a resolute effort to promote hon
est government, to increase efficiency
and to lessen expenses.

How Celluloid is Made.

Most celluloid is made in France,
and this is the process of manufac-
ture: A roll of paper is slowly UNI
wound, and at the same time saturat-
ed with mixture of five parts of
sulphuric acid, which falls upon the
paper in fine spray. This changes
the cellulose of the paper into pyroxy-
line (gun-cotton). The excess of the
acid having been expelled by pres
sure, the paper is washed with plenty
of water until all traces of acid have
been removed. 1t is then reduced to
pulp, and passes on to the bleaching
trough. 1t is this gun-cotton which
gives it its explosive nature. Most
of the water having been got rid of
by means of a strainer, the pulp is
mixed with from twenty to forty
per cent. of its weight of camphor,
ndthe mixture thoroughly triturated
under millstones. The necessary
coloring having been added in the
form of powder, a second mixture
and grinding follows. This pulp is
spread out in thin slabs, which are
squeezed in a hydraulic press until
they are as dry as chips. Then they
are rolled in heated rollers and come
out as elastic sheets. They are from
that point worked up into every
conceivable form. You can get cell
luloid collars, cuffs, hairpins, shirt.
fronts, cravats, pen-holders, brushes
and combs, ipkstands, knife-handles,
jewelry, and everything else almost
that you can imagine.

Science has discovered yet another
way of making an artificial ivory,
which in its creamy whiteness and
great hardness resembles very per-
fectly the real. 1t is formed roughly
as follows: Good potatoes are taken
and washed thoroughly in diluted
sulphuric acid, then they are boiled
in the same solution, becoming very
solid and dense. In the final stage
of preparation they are washed
entirely free from the acid and then
dried. This preparation is found to
give very substantial and useful
imitation of the real ivory, and will
stand the processes of both dyeing
and turning.

"My Jennie has such a dainty appetite |

Thus exclaimed foolish mother in my
hearing the other day. Yes, lamentably
foolish is she for allowing such condition
of things to exist. We are told by the
matches bard that desire grows upon what
it is fed The child desires dainties, and the
mother oft gratfes that desire, Soon the
mischief is done, for the dainty appetite is
quickly formed. Apropos of this a ruddy
German girl of seven summers was adopted
by Childless people of means. The indulging
process was early begun by them, for it was
a pleasure to give the child all the goodies
that she could well eat Ere long scorn for
substantial food possessed her, and the mere
thought of the plain but healthful fare of her
German home excited great disgust Dam
ties formed her, daily living, but think you
that her robust German parentage preserved
her from paying outraged Mother Natures

consumption while yet in her teens. The

it, mothers-of supplying the enormous waste
that was apparently going on with only cake
and pickles! Could one drop of good blood
emanate thcrefrom! Would disease have
attacked the poor child had the mother pre-
vented such unnatural appetite! She seemed

The Tired Out Housemother.

And when you go home at night and find
her jaded and worn, think of some way in
which to help her, instead Of finding fault
with your surroundings and hurting harsh
words at her, if you do not sometimes break
the third commandment in your zeal to be
emphatic. She is just as tired as you are and
has worked as many hours at home, battling
with the children and the servants, or, when
there are none of the latter, battling with the
monotonous homework, doing the same things
today which She did yesterday and knows she
will have to do tomorrow, until it is not
strange that she becomes disheartened and

The horribly brutal speeches to invalids
that are made by visitors apparently friendly
and apparently sane, are ineXcusable. Some
of them are SO horrible that one must laugh
at the very remembrance of them.
To a dear old gentleman who had been
confined to the house for some time, came
the cheerful inquiry: 'Does the grave look
pleasant to you, Mr., -:'
A lady sorely and dangerously afflicted
with dropSy, unable to breathe except in a
sitting position, worn out by sleepleSsness
and suffering was thus comforted by a
sympathetic neighbor after viewing her with
eager curiosity: "Well Mrs. --, you do
look awfully! | do hope you will die before
you burst.'
To a nervous old man, depressed by a long
struggle with disease, and feeble, yet very
anxious to recover, came this cheering OBJ
servation: "Dear me, how you have failed
I lately Why, you're as white as a sheet!
Your blood is all turning to water! You
can't last long!'
By the bedside of a sensitive woman at
tackled with pneumonia, | heard most be-
nevolent and truly Christian woman say in
clear tones "There is no hope. | see the
death mark on her face"
You will find, if i'll for several weeks, that
pearance and report with startling frank
ness: "Why, my dear, how you have
changed! | really don't believe should have
known you. You are paler or more natur-
ally flushed, as the case may be, since | was
here last; and, yes, you have perceptibly lost
flesh But you must get well. We all love
you too much; we can't get on without you"
This is said with the kindest meaning, but to
the ''pur sick body it means faintness or in
creased fever, or a cry after the visitor has
departed. Whatever may be your disease,
the conversation, instead of turning upon
the .cheerful and engrossing topics of the
time, is too apt to be fastened to your own
| condition, and instances are given of Mr. So
and-So, who died of the same, or Miss This
| or-That, who at last recovered, but has never
| been her old self since. We all know how
the imagination acts upon the body, even
producing death in a perfectly healthy
person. Then how careful we should be in a
| sick room.-Chicago journal.

One branch of ii, indeed, the manufacture
of wooden toys, particularly dolls, may be
considered almost a speciality of the district,
for the town of st. Ulrich is the great store
house of the toy traders of Europe and of the
world Whole families are engaged in this
work, and it is a most curious sight to see
them following the various qualifications Of
their Lilliputan industry They make a
Noahs ark and fill it with animals Some
families will cut ont lions, tigers, elephants;
others sheep oxen and deer; still others will
make the odd little men and women so famil-
lar with this toy. The coloring of these toys
is quite another branch of the industry
In France the ingenuity of the scientific
workman produces the wonderful mechani-
cal and musical toys. The finest dolls are
come from that country.
In our own country, of late years, have
been made many toys, especially wooden and
tin ones. The cheapness with which toys
such, for example, as the old fashioned
Noah's ark, with its complement of animals
can be made is marvel to the unintiated.
In the cut is shown a very simple method Of
producing objects of any given form in
large numbers and of precisely the same fig
ure. The wooden ring shown in the picture
looked like anything but a camel before a
piece was cut out of it, but on sicing it up
many camels will be produced of exactly
the same outline as is to be seen on the OK
posed end of the ring in the picture. Other
objects than camcls. it need hardly be eX-

Material for Kitchen Anrons.

After trying many different materials for
kitchen aprons | have decided that shirting
gingham is the best. Being about three
quarters of yard wide, one breadth answers
very well, thus the time which would be
spent in cutting breadths and sewing seams
is saved. A small plaid of brown and white,
with narrow lines of red to brighten it,
makes pretty apron, which, if washed and
dried carefully, will look well a long time,
and there is no doubt about its wearing we'll
l dislike blue in an apron for two reasons,
namely: 1t is apt in washing to stain the
rubber Of the washing machine and wringer,
and disagreeable odor arises when it is
ironed If one wishes bibs to her aprons,
less of the Bingham will be left after cutting,
if enough for two, four or any other even
number of garments be purchased in one
piece.
TO ascertain the quantity required, measure
the length necessary for skirt, allowing for
hem and a little for shrinkage; then measure
the distance from shoulder to belt. This
length of material will make two bibs, unless
the wcarer is uncommonly broad shouldercd,
which must be taken into account in calcu-
lating the whole quantity; then allow two
inches for each belt, as one strip across is
about the right length. Any one after lit
tie practice can cut the bib to suit her taste.
Ticking is a good material for an apron to be
worn when washing. Housekeeping.
