New Substitute For Glass.

The new translucent substance in
tended as q substitute for glass has
been satisfactorily adopted in some of
the public schools of London, and
various advantages are claimed for
it, among these being such degree
of plian"y that it may be bent back
ward and forward like leather. and be
subjected to very considerable tensile
strain with impunity; it is also almost
as translucent as glass, and of pleas
ing amber color, varying in shade
from very light gold to pale brown.
The basis of the material is a web OF
fine iron wire. with warp and weft
threads about one-twelfth inch apart,
this being inclosed, like fly in amber,
in a sheet of translucent varnish OF
which the base is linseed oil. There

of standing heat and damp without
undergoing any change, neither hard
ening nor becoming sticky. Briefly,
the manufacture is accomplished by
dipping the sheets edgewise into deep
tanks of varnish, and then allowing
the coating which they thus receivet to
dry in a warm atmosphere. 1t re-
uuires somewhat more than dozen OF
the dips to bring the sheets to the re-
quired degree of thickness, and, when
this has been accomplished, the ma

WASHING BLANKETS.
Two Ways That Are Highly Recommended
BY ENnerienced Honsekeepers.

Two Ways That Are Highly Recommends
by Experienced Housekeepers.
Before putting away blankets for
the summer they are generally %iven
q good washing by most housewives.
When blankets are used without
sheets. as in the case of a person sleep
ing between blankets during the cold
weather, they ought always to be
washed ere putting away; but when
sheets have been used and the blankets
are not soiled it is just as well to omit
the washing. being content with Civ
ing them thorough airing. Put them
out on the clothes-line on a fine day
and let them remain for the length OF
forenoon; then pack away in chest
or trunk. with a good sized piece of
camphor rolled in a cloth or in mus
lin bag. Some housewives have a
closet especially for putting away
such things, built in the coolest part
of the house. and provided with broad
shelves. The blankets or comforts
are folded and placed on these shelves,
and between the folds is usually a
large piece of camphor. Some do not
even use the camphor, but take out
the clothes frequently during the
warm weather and air them, airing
the closet at the same time. One OF
these closets is great aid to woman
and ought to be in every house, but on
no account use a closet near chin
ney, unless the latter is not in use.
and if a window can be allowed to one
of these closets it will OF itself be
preventive of moths. as the latter in
scots do not thrive in the light.
Some women prefer to leave pair
of blankets connected. therefore. do
not cut them apart, but wash them to-
gether. Blankets like these can never
be washed as easily or as well as
divided ones. It is hard enough work
to wash one blanket well. Always
cut the blankets apart and bind the
cut ends with tape to match the top.
Get ready in tub some pretty warm
water, to which add some household
ammonia. in the proportion OF two
tablespoonfuls of ammonia to pail OF
water, and with some good white soap
make a lather, place the blankets in
this, being careful that the water
covers them; let remain about an hour,
then rub them out. but do not rub on
soap, as it will make the fibers hard,
squeeze out of the water, and rinse in
two waters of the same temperature as
the first. and hang to dry. Never
wiring them if you would have them
soft. but squeeze out as well as you
can. When dry take in and pull them
in shape, but never attempt to iron
them.
The following way of cleansing
blankets is liked by some: Into tub
of cold water put two large table
spoonsful of borax and a pint of soft
soap. When dissolved. put into the
tub the blankets and let remain over
night. Next day, wash them out and
rinse in two waters (both cold), and
hang to dry. Blueing is used by many
in the last rinse water, but it is not to
be commended, as it gives them a
gray tinge that is not at all as nice as
the creamy shade they usually pos
sess when rinsed in clear water.

Jn the other hand. Il consul reany
has large responsibilities in perform
inc his duties, which make it very i'm
portant that he should be carefully
selected. with view to their efficient
discharge.
Consulships are mainly OF two kinds
inland and seaport consulships; and
the duties attached to these two posi-
lions differ somewhat. 1t is the main
task of an inland consul to certify to
the correctness of the invoices of the
merchandise which is sent from his
consular district to the United States;
while the consul at a seaport finds
that besides certifying invoices, he
has to perform certain duties relative
to the American ships which arrive at
and depart from his port.
There has been much just complaint
that goods coming from Europe to the
United States are sometimes under
valued: that is, that the invoices con-
tain statements that the goods are
sold to the importer at prices smaller
than they really are thus sold; and
this, for the double purpose of reducing
the duty on the goods. and of enabling
the purchaser to undersell his compel
itors.
This evil may be- greatly lessened,
at least, by competent inland consuls.
If they have capacity and efficiency,
they will learn to judge very nearly
the actual market value of the goods
exported from their districts; and by
requiring, in each case, samples of the
goods. they will be able to decide
whether the invoices presented tc
them for certificate are true or fraud
ulent.
In short, every consul at an inland
post-like Manchester or Leeds in En-
gland, Lyons in France. Berlin in Ger
many-should become an expert in the
merchandise sent to this country from
his point.
This is said in order that the impor-
lance of carefully selecting persons OF
capdclty 10 nolu tne col9ulohlPo may
be seen. A consul should be familiar
with the language of the country
where he is to reside; and if anywhere
on the European continent, he should
also have q knowledge of French. He
should be well-grounded in commercial
and international law; and in manners
he should be a gentleman. Personal
qualities go q great way in Europe in
fulfilling such duties as a consul Is
called upon to perform, and in winning
respect for the country which the con-
sui represents. Youths Companion.

THE CONSULAR SERVICE.

Reasons Which Make q Consulship Very
Tempting Prize.
No offices under our Government are
more eagerly sought for, when a new
President comes in, than consulships.
At present the rush for consulships is
said to be greater than ever before.
the applications exceeding many fold
the number of the consulships them
selves.
A consulship, indeed, is, on many
accounts, a very tempting prize; espe-
cially one situated in one of the more
attractive cities or towns in Great
Britain or on the continent. 1t enables
the occupant to live in the midst OF
historic scenes and the centers of art
and pleasure. and to make tours to
many points of interest. The work OF
a consul is not often very difficult, and
he has large powers in fulfilling his
duties.
A consul, moreover, enjoys social
distinction and privileges in the city
or town where he is stationed. He is
invited to occupy reserved place at all
public celebrations. and Ia freely ad-
Ei.seed into onicial circles.

TAKING THE CENSUS.
4 Far More Laborious Process Than 4
Great Britain.

Far More LabOrious Process Than in
Great Britain.
The question is often asked, Why
can not the United States census be
taken in one day, as is done in Eng
land and many continental countries?
The reasons are obvious on reflection.
In the first place, England, which we
will take for an example, is a COM
pact nation, all the functions of gov
eminent being concentrated at the
national capital. The constabulary
is national, and the census is taken
through it. The skeleton of the body
of enumerators always exists. The
enlargement occurs through the APP
pointment of temporary constables,
working with the permanent con-
stabulary force. This gives England
and like conditions exist in other
countries-a force always in existence,
or easily brought into existence, for
census purposes. Each constable is
supplied with proper quantity OF
blanks for very small district. These
he distributes one day and collects
the next. They are to be filled out
by the head of the household, and are
to contain the names and facts relat-
ing to each person living under the
roof at midnight
The United States Government has
no force which can be enlarged to
proper extent for a one-day census.
This fact alone would prevent our
Government from following the
methods adopted in Europe. But
there is another reason which would
entirely prevent the adoption of the
European method. The schedule for
the English and continental censuses
is a very small affair. comprehending
but few inquiries relating to the
name, relating to the head of the
family, condition (whether single,
married, etc } sex, age at the last
birthday, the profession or occupation,
place of birth. and whether deaf.
dumb or blind. This constitutes the
whole English census. The United
States census comprehends, as we have
seen. a very great number of inquiries,
relating to numerous topics. North

Gen. SewaII's Examination,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The senate
committee on foreign relations continued
to-day their examination of Consul Gen.
Sewall Of Samoa, concerning the con-
dition Of affairs on the island of that
group. 1t was continued on the lines
laid down yesterday, but went more largely
into the relations of the several govern
ments interested in the maintenance of an
orderly condition of affairs on the islands
and therefore was not confidential in its
nature. The substance of Sewall's state
ment, which reviewed at length the events
OF the last few years and the present I'M
fortunate situation there, is that it is due
not to any action on the part of repre-
sentatives of the United States but to
the formation by interested foreigners of
native discussions and to the desire ex-
hibited in a marked degree to these In
in charge of local German interests
to obtain personal and commercial ad
yantages and political supremacy. Mr..
Sc wall has been requested to remain over
and appear before the committee again

Murdered.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Jan. IL. AT
Pratt's Mills. five miles from this city,
to-day, j. S. Kellan, wife of a mechanic,
and her son Willie, aged 9 years, were
murdered by a negro. The woman and
boy had been into the woods a short dis
lance to drive up their COW. They met q
negro who told them he could show them
where the COW was. They followed him
a short distance, when he turned and
struck Mrs. Kellan with a heavy club.
The boy screamed for help and was i'm
mediately Drained by the negro. The
boy died instantly. Mrs. Kellan was
removed home and lived long enough to
describe the murderer and give particulars
of the crime as given above. The negro
fled, but is being pursued by a posse with
bloodhounds and will be lynched if caught.
So far as known there was no motive for
the crime.
