How Bandanas Are Made.

The material of which the bandand
Ga Spanish word) is made is either silk
or cotton, and is dyed in different coll
ors-morc commonly red, but some
times also yellow and blue. with round
or diamond-shaped spots all over it.
The process of the manufacture Of the
bandana is this:s The material is first
dyed the desired color. and pile Of
the handkerchiefs is then put into a
press between two copper plates. one
of which is fastened to the top and the
other to the bottom of the press.
These plates are pierced with holes.
Just like the spots to be made on the
handkerchiefs. A great pressure is
then put on the pile. and a bleaching
LIQUID. called chlorine, is made to flow
over the top of the plate. The liquid
goes down with the holes, passes
through the cloth and comes out Of
the holes in the bottom plate, taking
out all the color, and making white
spots just the size and shape of the
holes in the plates. The pressure Is SO
great that the liquid can reach the
cloth only where the holes are. This
is how the bandaMas are made Chicago

WASHING DISHES.

know fair maid with laughing eyes,
Where q ming,:rs of mischief and Kindness
lies.
Her form is supple and gracefully neat
And she trips about upon restless feet;
She can sing divinely-cOnverse with ease,
With a pre- -ence as pure rs summer breeze
And endowed beyond bound Of human wishes
She's bewitchingly sweet when washing dishes.
With q cheerful air, and smiling haste,
She ties q big apron around her waist;
And 1 notice, as sIyly glancing up,
How she deity handles each sh ming cup.
Placing them carefully side by side
Where she views them all with dinpled
pride:
Softly humming q lively measure.
Tapp nR the time with child sh pleasure.
Then ,ursues her task demurely sedate,
Taking in turn each china plate;
And SO busily passing 70 and fro
Until they are laid just where they should go
For though she embroiders with taste and
skill,
Can faultlessly glide through the gay quad
rifle
We admire her more when she grants our
wishes
And allows US to watch her washing dishes.

COURDS AND POTTERY.

The Probable Origin of q Most Important
Art Industry.
Every man, no doubt, used his gourd
as gourd alone. But rs time went
on he began at last, apparently. to en-
ploy it as u model for pottery also. In
all probability his earliest lessons in
the fictile art were purely accidental.
1t is a common trick with savages to
put water to warm on the campfire in
a calabash or gourd with wet clay
smeared over the bottom to keep it
from burning. Wherever the clay
thus employed was fine enough to
form mold and bake hard in shape.
it would cling to the gourd, and be
used time and again in the same way
without renewal, till at last it came to
be regarded almost as a component
part of the compound vessel. Traces
of this stage in the evolution of pot
terry still exist in various outlying
corners of the world. Savages have
been noted who smear their dishes
with clay; and bowls may be found in
various museums which still contain
more or less intact the relics of the
natural object on which they were
modelled. In one case the thing i'm
bedded in the clay bowl is a human
skull, presumably an enemy's.
In most cases, however, the inner
gourd or calabash, in proportion as it
was we'll coated up to the very top with
a good protective layer of clay, would
tend to get burned out by the heat of
the fire in the course of time, until at
last the idea would arise that the
natural form was nothing more than q
mere mold or model, and that the
earthenware dish which grew up
around it was the substantive vessel.
As soon as this stage of pot-making
was arrived at. the process of firing
would become deliberate, instead Of
accidental. and the vessel would only
be considered complete as soon as it
had been subjected to a great heat
which would effectually burn out the
gOurd or calabash imbedded in the
center.-Grant Allen. in Popular Science
Monthly.
