freedom of country clothes is a thing of the

CUNNING OF A WOMAN.
1t Is Responsible for the Thread in
Our Greenbaek Paper
Money.
The Greatest Obstacle in the Man
%ufacture of Counterfeit
Currency.
Mrs. Remington, the Inventor, Has Never
Received Pay for the Use Of
the Device.

Invention is usually regarded as one of
the fields in which man has but little to
fear from the competition of the gentle sex.
Yet it was a woman who discovered how to
make a cable hat would come up to all the
requirements of the engineers who built the
great suspension bridge that unites Brook
lyn to New York city. The list of women
inventors may not be q long one, but it is a
brilliant one.
Mrs. Helen NJ. Remington, of 226 Six
teenth street in this city, is a woman who
invents. She comes of On inventing family.
She invents because she cannot help ii. She
has certificates from the United States pat
emit Office which prove that she is the moth
er of many Inventions. Mrs. Remington
has never wooed the goddess of perpetual
motion, nor has she essayed m air ship.
She contents herself with useful ~contriv-
noes, and has made a good deal of money
from them.
Speaking of making money. thereby
hangs the tale Of one of Mrs. R%eminpton's
patents. 1t was she who conceived the idea
that constitutes the greatest secret in the
man ufacture of that wonderful paper on
which Uncle Sans '~'greenbacks" are
printed. All who handle paper money have
noticed the two fine threads which run
lenpthwise through the bill. II is the mys-
terious thread which 80 battles all who try
to counterfeit paper money. How the
thread happens to get into the paper is a
question which has puzzled those who have
studied paper currency.
The sheet of paper on which the bill is
printed is really two sheets of paper" Mrs.
Remington explained to a San Francisco
Chronicle reporter yesterday. 1.-The paper
used is the rough tissue. The threads,
which are usually supposed to be of silk
are Of ordinary Kentucky bagRing. They
are placed between two sheets of the paper,
which are then pressed together by a strong
PRESSURE. The two sheets of tissue are
kept together by a thin coating of fish
glue. l mi say more of the process,
for 1t is a secret which counterfeiters
have never succeeded in thoroughly pene-
trating.
"This process of mine was originally de-
yised by me for the purpose Of producing a
fbered paper OF great toughness and dura-
bility. | had not then thought of applying
it to the manufacture of paper for TREASURY
notes. The patent, as you will see by the
certificate. was issued to mo on May l, 1866.
IL was NOT until ten or twelve years later
that tho government began to use my pro-
cess in the manufacture of its own paper.
THE credit of inventing this style Of
pnper has been given to Crane, of Dalton
Mass, who now manufactures the paper on
which the government prints its notes. But
it is my invention, and mine alone. OF
course, the patent has now run out, but he
made use of it some three yenrs before 1885.
In that year bills printed earlier were called
in, az fully as possible, and reissued with
the threads. My patent did not run out I'M
til 1883, 80 that the government benefited

Some costumes presenting TEXTURES Of
weddings. In a trousseau l saw in the
hands of a dressmaker yesterday was an
afternoon gown different in lone partieu-

was a pale russell brown poplin, cut on a

which were finished with black velvet
ruches at the hands. A full ruche of velvet
and Rauze stood up about the throat, a vel
vet rosette was on the right shoulder, and
two knotted velvet banda headed the lace
across the front of the skirt at the bottom.
One touch Of bright color was afforded by a
folded half belt of cardinal ribbon knotted
in a rosetto in front, between the paniers.
The costume is illustrated.
TO this same trousssau belongs { street
toilette of velvet and cloth that will bear
thinking about briefly. The princess dress
is of mercury gray wool, with a scroll pat
tern Of steel and silver passementerie run

bottom the skirt is plain. The open jacket
is of black velvet, with a Medici COLLAR of
very moderate height running down in
front almost to the waist line. From the
shoulders of the dress come embroidered
braces crossing on the bottom and fasten-
ing on the outside of the jacket on either
side under the arm. The jacket sleeves
have deep gray cloth cuffs, EN- broideved and
reaching nearly to the elbows.

Thou shouldst have sung the swan-song for the

That filed our groves with music till the day
Lit the last hilltop with its reddening fire.
And evening listened for thy lingering day.
But thou hast found thy voice in realms afar
Where strains celestial blend their notes with
Some cloudless sphere beneath a happier star
Welcomes the bright-winged spirit we resign.
How nature mourns thee in the still retreat
Where passed in peace thy love-enchanted
hours.
Where shall che find an eye like thine to greet
Springs earliest footprints on her opening
flowers?
Have the pale wayside weeds no fond regret
For him who read the secrets they unfold?
Shal' tho proud ~spangles of the field forget
The verse that lent new glory to their gold?
And We whose carols wooed his infant ear.
Whose chants with answering woodnotes he
repaid.
Have 70 no song his spirit still may hear
From Elmwood's vaults of overarching shade:
Friends of his studious hours who thronged to
The deep-read scholar all your varied lore,
Shall he no longer seek your shelves to reach
The treasure missing from his world wide

True to his aim, lot others blame or praise.
Freedom he found an heirloom from his sires:
Song. letters, statecraft, shared his years In

All went to feed tho nations altar-fres
Whose mourning children wreathe his funera
He loved New England people language, soil
Unweaned by exile from her arid breast.

And grateful memory guard thy leafy shrine!
