SUBSTITUTE FOR SILK.

A Frenchman Has Beaten the Silk-WOrm
at His Own Game.
American silk manufacturers recently
had their attention called to a new dis
covery, which was represented to them
as cheap substitute for silk and was
destined to revolutionize the silk indus
try. It was the invention of the Count
Hilaire de Chardonnet. of Besancon,
France, Of fiber, prepared by chem
ical process from cellulose, and out of
which fabrics are declared to have been
woven that resemble pure silk so closely
that chemical analysis alone would
disclose the difference between them.
May Z, 1889, he announced the sue
cess of his work. He said that it be-
came apparent in the early stages
of his experiments that to produce
thread similar in transparency, texture
and brilliancy to the product of the silk
worm, it would be necessary to spin il
from a liquid solution. Cellulose was
chosen as the starting point, the most
convenient preparation of which was
made from certain parts of young wood.
With this material pure octO-nitro-cel
lulose was made by treatment with
nitric acid and then dissolved in mix
ture of thirty-eight parts of ether and
fortytwo parts of alcohol, in a proper
ton 6.5 per cent. Such solution is
called collodion.
The thread is, under certain condi-
tons, explosive and could not be consid.
cred practical substitute for silk under
such conditions 1t is therefore treated
with bath of dilute nitric acid, which
removes the nitric acid from the fiber
and renders the fiber non-explosive and
not more infammable than silk. 1t can
now be made up into fabrics and dyed
like real silk.
Patents were obtained by Count
thardonnet in France, Germany, En-.
gland, Italy, Holland, Belgium, Spain.
Portugal and the United States,
the latter September 8. 1t is claimed
the stuff can be made from almost any
known material of fbrous character.
and at about $1.4O per pound. This, at
its specific gravity, will make it's rela-
tive cost to silk about So per pound.

How a Nebraska Shyster Bled His Un.
sophisticated Brother.
Not long ago two brothers lived in a
SMALL town in this State. One was a
lawyer and real-estate dealer, while the
other was carpenter. In the course of
business the lawyer induced his brother
to append his autograph to note fos
$500 given by him (the lawyerl to
local bank. The carpenter was told by
his legal relative that the transaction
was mere matter of formality and
would be all right. All went well until
the note became due, when it was pre-
sented to the guileless carpenter for
payment, the presenter informing him
that his cautious brother had made over
all his own property to his wife and the
$500 could not be collected from him.
The surprised and indignant carpenter
hurried at once to see his brother about
the matter He found the lawyer seated
in his handsome Office, reading a news
paper and smoking a high-priced cigar.
"Say, Charley, that note for $500 is
due, and they have come to me for pay
ment." he said as he entered.
''Well," asked the lawyer, looking up
from his paper, "why don't you pay it?'
81 only signed as security and to ac-
commodate you. Besides, can not pay
it unless sell or mortgage my house
and lot. You are well fixed and can
easily pay the note," answered the
other.
"Henry," solemnly and slowly said
the man of law, ''you should never as
sumo obligations that you are unable to
meet. But / don't want to be hard on
you and I'll tell you what I'll do for
you: If you have to sell your house and
lot will find you buyer for them and
won't charge you cent of commission"
And the noble-hearted man lit another
cigar and resumed his paper.
The carpenter did not accept the
princely offer. his iberal-minded brother
had made him, but went out and mort
gagged his home, paid the note, and was
relieved, as time went on, to find that
his brother did not send him a bill for
$40 for professional advice.-Omahs Re-

The Baby Ruler and His Cat, and the Beg
gar Maiden.
Stories of the little King of Spain are
In order now that his recovery has been
assured, and several new ones have come
out. The young King, as is well known,
has been brought up in a strictly family
way, and very much as any other young
person of good birth in his kingdom
His mother has very sensibly forbidden
the Juggling in of the royal features of
his life any more frequently than the
absolute necessities of the strict rules of
the Spanish court etiquette required,
and except on the occasion of sta tie cere-
monials young Alphonso has been at
tended almost entirely by his mother
and by the stalwart peasant nurse who
has been his companion from his earli-
est babyhOod to his present comparative
iy mature age of four years. During his
illness she and the Queen were constant
ly at the little fellows bedside, and
about the only other living creature so
constantly in the room was a cat. The
young King, before his sickness, had be-
gun to tire of his baby playthings that
had been at his command, and, seeking
other toys, let his fancy light upon
Maltese cat that he saw somewhere
about the palace. The animal at once
became creature of distinguished con-
sideration in the royal household. 1t an
swered to the name of PericO. The rib
bon upon its neck was tied there by the
King himself, aud when he was taken
sick the King insisted that pussy should
be in the room with him. So, for full
month the faithful cat was constantly in
the sick chamber. Naturally the animal
became great favorite, and one of the
high ladies at the court made for it an
embroidered cushion upon which it slept.
Another story from the sick room. and
one that has more of the flavor usually
found in stories of royal infants, George
Washington and other lofty personages,
deals with little crippled girl whom
the King met on one of his walks or rides
about with his nurse before he was taken
sick and to whom, seeing often again,
be had taken fancy. 1t came to be
that whenever the King in his outings
saw the little cripple he would, make one

poor people; that is, if she can get it"
II am too little to command" said the
King.
''As it is to do good" replied the
Queen, 81 will permit you to give or
lers."
The King, at this, said nothing, but
:he next day he had taken to the little
Oeggar the bonbons some one had sent
