Repairs of Incandescent Lamps.

\ process for the repair of incandescent
lamps, as developed and put into actual
pr ictice by French engineer, may be de-
scribed as follows: The glassblower takes
the lamp and makes hole at the top large
enough to admit a new filament. The
lamp thus opened is passed to a girl, who,
by means of special nippers, cuts the
broken filament, which she removes, being
careful TO leave on each platinum support
about one milimeter of filament
4 second girl takes the prepared lamp
and places it in a socket, to which current
is led; she then fills the bulb with a hydro
carbon liquid and introduces a new fila
ment previously standardized. BY the aid
of pair of special pliers, she touches the
tilament TO one of the ends left and turns
on the current. The liquid becomes de
composed into hydrogen, which rises
through the liquid, and into solid carbon,
which Is deposited upon the joint, firmly
connecting the filaments together.
The same is then done for the other end
of the new filament The glassblower
then takes the lamp again, attaches a tube
of glass to the opening made, and the re
paired lamp Is then exhausted, the process
of exhaustion taking three-quarterS of an
hour. each pump carrying five lamps. The
bulb Is then closed in the usual manner.
The different operations described are
performed very rapidly, and form an ele-
gam and practical process, and may be
repeated many times.-New York Tele-

NOVELTIES IN NeEDLEWoRK.
Attractive Things in Materials Pleasant
to Work Upon in Summer.


4 simple but stylish cushion is the white
linen bolster, with design of acorns and
oak leaves worked in blue The ends of
the bolster are dark blue satin, which is
gathered up and tied round with cords;
outstanding frills are left at both ends.
\ handsome quilt with design of con-
ventionalized carnations is made of white
linen damask. The pattern is boldly
drawn; a bird occupies the center, and
this and some overhanging fruit give
quaintness all its own to the quilt As for
the coloring, red and terra Gotta shades
preponderate, but they are toned with pale
yellow and golden green.
Soft white linen canvas makes a charm
ing sofa back and chair backs too. The
former is decorated with detached Upright
flower sprays in terra Gotta. yellow green,
gray blue and golden brown shades; there
Is narrow border along the bottom and a
simple hem TO finish it.
Honeycomb canvas is again in favor
An effective and easy way of decorating it
is to outline a conventional design in white
linen floss, and then darn in the surface of
the design in gold colorS. This can be used
for bureau scarfs, head rests, etc.
As delicate work for the summer GRO
cheting Is being revived. \ very odd and
pretty quilt may be made of alternate
squares of linen and fine crochet. Some of
the work resembles old guipure and Nene-
tian laces, and for the linen squares dol
lies are used, henstitched and worked in
wash silk in delicate designs Shades of
gold and white are very pretty, or any
color or shade harmonizinS with the deco
rations of the room.
Very pretty for sofa cushions are covers
of duck embroidered in white and finished
at the sides with large eyelets or button
holed Sits for lacings of inch wide ribbon.
The ordinary honeycomb bedspread may
be transformed into fashionable covering
by simply darning in the ground with yell
low rope linen, leaving the pattern in re-
lief

Making Love In Church.

In prominent up town church a sur
prising amount of Irritation and love max
ing is done every Sunday. OF course it is
carried on covertly-so much so, in fact,
that not one of the many worshipers ever
suspects the truth. At the evening service
one Sunday / was ushered to vacant pew.
Carelessly lifting hymn book out of the
rack found upon glancing at the fyleaf
that it was the property of a lady, for her
name was thereon inscribed.
That, however was not all, for upon
other flyleaves were such passages as these.
evidently hastily written, in reply to some
other essage:
Florence tells me that she believes you are
inconstsn Mt What shall tell her?
This seemed to have elected negative
reply, for directly below those lines was
this sim pie yet soulful rhyme:
Oh, I'm true to her; yes, true TO her.
As thorns are true to a chestnut burr.

National Hatreds.

King Joseph, in one of his letters, tells
his imperial brother of France that the
people of Naples have begun to love their
new sovereign and that they hate the old
queen. To this Napoleon replies by cynic-
ally advising his brother not TO believe
any of the nonsense talked by courtiers as
regards popular likes or dislikes for par
ticular individuals. They are mere evan
escent expressions Of feeling upon which
it is quite unsafe to depend. What" he
adds, zone nation really hates is another
nation" We fear that there is a profound
truth lin this saying. National hatreds
are never obliterated, though they are
sometimes temporarily concealed by the
personal popularity which a particular
man or woman may gain in a foreign
country.-Saturday Review.

Climate of the British Empire.

The British empire covers so large a pro-
portion of the surface of the globe that its
reports upon climate may be taken as a re-
port for tias whole world. The table of re-
turns for the year 1889 shows interesting
results. One of the most important facts
brought to light is this, that the same sta
lions year after year monopoliZe the eX-
tremes of heat and cold, of dryness and of
humidity. oother inference can be drawn
from this fact than that climate is far
more regular and unvarying than we are
apt to suppose.
The highest temperature in the shade
noted by the British observers was at Ad-
elaide. The point reached was l09 dgs.,
and this on Jan. ID. The reader will bear
N mind that Adelaide is situated in the
southern hemisphere, and that it is mid
summer there when it is midwinter with us.
For the last five years Adelaide has re-
corded the highest temperature in the
shade. The record for 1885 shows a tenn
perature of 112 40 dogs. In 1889 it had
the highest temperature of any place in the
sun-l10 40 dogs. 1t was also the driest
station, having "A mean humidity of IS per
cent.
The lowest shade temperature in the
empire was recorded at Winnipeg, on Feb
ruary 23-42 6-10 dogs. below zero. This
station had also the greatest range in the
year, the greatest mean daily range, the
lowest mean temperature and the least
rainfall-foureeen and ninety-five hun
dredths inches. 1t does not appear as
though the precipitation in the form of
snow could have been reckoned in with the
reported rainfall.
The highest mean temperature for the
year 1889 was reported from Bombay, and
tie greatest rainfall was observed at Trim
dad. 1t is curious to find that London
was the cloudiest of all the stations in the
empire, and that it was also the dampest,
its humidity averaging 81 per cent. The
brightest of all stations was Malta This
had only little more than half the cloud
of London.-Youth's Companion.

KEoKUK Constitution Democrat: There
are over 800 places in Des Moines where
liquor may be obtained by the glass. Yet
Des Moines is the city which had the
biggest distilery IN the world, and the
closing of which was TO abolish liquors
from that city. Well, it only served to
kill Des Moines as a green corn market,
throw several hundred men out of en-
ployment, and send money to manufac-
turers outside of Iowa instead of keeping
1t at home. Great is prohibition.
