The Park.

A large number of choice varieties
OF grape vines were set out IN the
railroad park last week; also several
hundred fruit aud nut trees. The park
is very near Chinstow n, and the thrifty
mongol will doubtless make nocturnal
raids on the grapes and nuts when
they ripen. But Jim Yerington says
he will turn Don, his fsrocious blood
hound, into the park avery night and
Don has an unsuitable antipathy
against Cinnamon.

AN AFRICAN ROMANCE.
CHAPTER V.-CoNTINUED.


The fight was ended and the two lines
on the slope broke their order and
moved down to the lager. Presently
we were there, and dreadful sight it
was. Many of the attacking Zulus were
iead-quite fifty 1 should say, and at
least hundred and fifty were wounded,
some of them mortally. The chief
Sususa gave an order, the dead men
were picked up and piled in a heap.
while those who were slightly hurt
walked off to get some one to tie up
their wounds. But the more serious
cases met with different treatment.
The chief or one of his indunas consid-
cred eac h case, and if it was in any way
bad the man was taken up and thrown
into the river which ran near. None of
them offered any objection, though one
poor fellow swan to shore again. He did
not stop there long, however, for they
pushed hi n back and drowned him by
force.
The strangeSt case Of all was that of
the chiefs own brother. He had been
captain of the line, and his ankle was
smashed by bullet. Sususa came up
to him, and having examined the
wound. rated him soundly for falling in
the first onslaught
The poor fellow made the excuse that
it was not his fault, as the Beers had
hit him in the first rush. His brother
admitted the truth of this, and talked
to him amicably.
WELL" he said, at length, offering
him a pinch of snuff, you can not walk
again"
No, chief" said the wounded man,
looking az his ankle.
And tomorrow we must walk far"
went on Sususa.
Yes, chief"
Say. then, will you sit there on the
veldt, or" and he nodded toward the
river.
The man dropped his head on his
breast for minute as though in thought.
Presently he lifted it and looked Sususa
straight in the face.

said; 81 think I will 60 back to Zulu
land, for there is the only kraal l wish
to see, even if 1 creep about it like a

chief. REST softly" and having shaken
hands with him, he gave an order to
one OF the induna, and turned away.

goods as much. either. May be you don't
believe that, but it's SO. Nowhere in
the whole modern laundry process are
goods subjected to any such wearing
and rasping treatment as the old style
of rubbing them on q wash-board with
the hands. People really don't know
how we do up clothes at all"
The increase in to laundry business
has not only been rapid, but it has
created large establishments for the
manufacture of laundry supplies and
machines used in the laundry business.
These machines, many of them, are
costly, and they are, all of them, in
genious labor-saving contrivances.
Pictures of some of the principal ma
chimes used in the business are here
given, and their use illustrates pretty
we'll the modern laundry process.
The laundry receiving depots where
goods can be left to be called for" to
which allusion has been made, are most
" those connected with the big steam
laundry establishments. These depots
are scattered in all sorts of places all
over the city. The favorite places the
laundrymen select are gentlemen's fur
nishing stores. The packages of goods
to be laundered are left at these places
and taken up by the laundry delivery
wagons The wagons bring the pack
ages back to tho depot when the laun-
drying is completed, and the owners
call and get them. The delivery wag-
ons also call at the homes of the regu-
lar customers of the laundries. Each
laundry keeps book containing the
names of its regular customers and the
day and the hour at which each custom
err wants Ibis laundry" called for. Each
driver of each delivery wagon has, of
course, his regular daily route. The
laundrieS will. as rule, call for and de-
liver goods all over the city to regular
customers. Some of the big laundries
have several sets of deliveries" one
set of delivery wagons for such por-
ton of the city and one set for another
the different sets not all reporting at
a central branch, but having centers OF
their own, which. in turn, communicate
with the main offices.
When the package of goods to be
washed finally gets into the laundry the
person who receives it-who is usually a
good-looking young woman - writes
plainly on it the name and address of
the person to whom it belongs, az well
as the time when it must be ''done"-if
such time is specified she also makes
out the ticket" which contains the
list and number of the different articles
in the package. II no time for the work
is specified by the customer-and none
usually is - the person leaving the
laundry ought to expect to get it again
in three days, that being the time in
which laundry work is usually done"
by the first-class shops. The packages
are allowed to accumulate indiscrim-
inately in the laundry until sufficient
num5er-called a 'lot"-is on hand.
The lot varies in size. according to the
capacity of the laundry, from twenty

Growth OF This Modern

II don't believe there was a single
public laundry in this city fifteen years
ago." said city laundryman to New
York Sun reporter the other day,
where laundering was done on . big
scale Originally. you know. people
here who wanted their collars and cuffs
done up nicely actually sent them away
up the river to the laundries in Troy,
and thus the name Troy laundry
originated. The laundries were started
in Troy because nearly all the big
shirt and collar and cuff manufactures
were located there, and the laundries,
in the first place, were connected with
these establishments. OF course, there
are no real Troy laundries' to-day.
Even as late as seven years ago don't
believe that there were one-tenth Of the
public laundries that there are to-day.
The work used to be done almost en-
tirely by washer-women. Nowadays
the average gentleman don't want a
washerwoman to touch his collars and
cuffs or shirt. The laundries do this
work ever so much better than the
washerwOmen, and they don't hurt the

course. it will long live.
Then the clotheS-the shirts and coll
lars and cuffs. tina, is-are starched and
hung up in places called ''drying-boxes."
These are simply long iron racks, as
shown in the cut, inclosed in big iron
box or closet, and SO arranged that each
rack can be drawn out of the bog to
neal.y it's full length. When all tho
racks are shut in the closet is almost

The clothes dry very quickly. The racks
in the drying-box are made Of galvan-
lied iron and brass, SO that the clothes
hanging on them do not get furnished.
When tho clothes come out of the dry
ing-box they are. of course, very stiff.
and the shirts have to be pressed be-
tween dampened cloths before thew can
be ironed. In almost every laundry in
the city to-day shirts are still ironed in
the old-fashioned way, by hand, though
shirt-ironing machines have been in
vented. But the collars and cuffs are all
ironed now by machines in the laun-
dries. \ hollow cylinder of steel, heat
ed from the inside. revolving both on
its axis and backward and forward, is
made to pass over the linen again and
again. The collars and cuffs rest dur.
ing this operation on many thicknesses
of felt, which serves as an excellent bed
for them.
Finally the cuffs are placed upon a
half-revolving cylinder which turns
them into proper shape. while similar
machine exercises similar function as
regards the collars. In turning" the
collars great care has TO be taken not TO
crack the seams. In order that this
may be avoided the seams had TO be-
slightly dampened. Up to within few
months this operation of dampening the
seams had to be done by hand. but an
ingenious Continuance just invented ac-
complishes this mechanically.
at last all pieces of the ''iot" are
again taken to the assorter. They get

front Of him. and underneath hole in
the center of this table hangs big bag
into which the assorter throws the COL
lars and cuffs He puts the shirts in a
big basket, and re-examines each piece
Of goods to see if it is properly marked.
Finally the ''lot" is sent to the wash
room. Throughout the progress of the
cleaning process the different pieces Of
the lot are kept together and the lot
comes out as it goes in Thus identifi-
cation of the goods is systematized, and
the time Of delivery is made certain.
First the goods are marked. They are
not rubbed over board or rasped by q
machine. They are placed in queer
looking affairs called wood washers"
Each washer consists Of two oval cylin-
ders one within the other. They are
both made OF cypress or Georgia pine.
The inner cylinder is fixed so that it can
revolve very rapidly. The inner cylin-
der is full of holes, and both cylinders
have big trap-door openings on top, as
shown in the cut. The clothes are
placed in the inner cylinder and tho
trap-door closed. Then soap and warm
water is put in the space between tho
inner and outer cylinder and the outer
cylinder door is closed. By means OF
power from an engine the inner cylin-
der is made to revolve At great rate.
and the soapsuds, starting through the
holes, wash the clothes inside finely.
Thus the clothes are subjected to no
tearing and grinding. as is commonly
imagined. The washing cylinders are
of all sizes, and some of the larger will
wash at one time either $50 dozen collars
and cuffs or $50 shirts. The big laundries.
of course. have each a good many of the
washing machines.
Tho washing process proper takes .
good while. The man In charge Of it
puts upon each machine chalk inscrip-
ton stating the exact time at which tho
washing began. Say that the clothes
were put in machine at 1:S0 o'clock D.
N. They are washed in the first soap
suds' till 2:l5. and in the second soap
suds" till 2:55, Then they are rinsed
for ten minutes and bleached for forty
minutes. Then they receive two fresh
water rinsings before they are "blued,"
and are then thoroughly rinsed again.
From the wooden washing machines
the clothes are taken to cylindrical iron
affairs known as ''centrifugal wringers."
The centrifugal wringer consists, like
the washer. of two cylinders. one within
the other, and the inner cylinder full Of
holes and capable of revolving ct
rapid rate. The inner cylinder is of
polished brass and is called a basket"
and it's revolutions amount to fifteen
thousand per minute when the full
power is applied. The wet clothes are
placed in the inner cylinder and the
cylinder turns. The great rapidity of
the revolution, of course, packs the
clothes in solid mass around the inner
sides of the inner cylinder, while the
water that was in them streams out OF
the holes in the wide cylinder and is
carried away in tubes. Not q drop of
water can be wrung out of the clothes
when they are taken from the machine.
Thus by this machine the clothes in
the wash are not harmed nearly as much
as by putting them through between the
rubber rolls Of an old-fashioned

The man must either die swiftly or be
