STOCklNET CLOTH.
The Difference Between Knit and Woven
Goods.


Goods.
Strictly speaking, stockinet is not a
cloth, for it is not woven fabric, but a
knitted texture. "By process of knit
ting, and not by weaving, the individ-
ual threads of which stockinet fabric
is composed, are, says the Dry-Goods
Chronicle, interlaced into one regular
texture, The work is performed in q
kind of frame or loom, in which the
yarns are arranged in parallel order, at
uniform distances apart, as in ordinary
weaving. OF course, the machine is
automatic in its movements and capa-
BILE of producing a great length OF cloth
in very short time. The fabric thus
formed is ornamented with a fine
ribbed pattern, similar In character to
that seen in common knit goods. This
article generally handles soft, full and
elastic, but lacks those valuable charac-
teristics of strength and firmness OF
texture or make which obtain in a
woven cloth proper"
The difference between the structure
of this fabric and that resulting from
weaving warp and weft yarns together
may be illustrated as follows: Take a
sample of stockinet cloth and try to
withdraw thread and what is the re-
suit? The whole construction is un-
raveled Next submit a loom product
to a similar examination and it will be
found that if a longitudinal or WARP
thread is removed the transverse Oh
weft thread will remain, while, ON the
other hand, if the latter are withdrawn
the warp threads will, although the
texture may be partly destroyed, still
remain, to a certain extent, undis
turbed. Again, the manner in which 6
knitted fabric is constructed limits the
designer to one class of weave effects
these being of a stockinet character
whereas the principles of weaving arr
of such description as to admit of un
limited change or variation in design.

AN EXPENSIVE MISS.

What 1t Costs to Keep One Little New
York Girl.
Here are some figures regarding the
cost Of little girl of fourteen for the
past year, says the New York World.
She is the only daughter of teller in a
New York bank. The family lives in
private boarding-house, and the am
bition Of her parents is to make the
child bright, sweet, sensible woman.
Her wardrobe costs $215 a year, includ-
ing laundry.
She attends school uptown where she
pays $3.50 year. Last season she was
sent to dancing school at an expense of
800 For this accomplishment she
needed special supply Of slippers, four
little dancing frocks, a long, quilted
ulster and fifteen yards of sash ribbon,
for which a bill of $71 was presented.
During the summer she learned to
swim, and the cost of her bathing suit
and the services of the bathing master
amounted to $13. Her board for the
entire year cost $3.50. Here are some
trifies, as the mother calls them, copied
from the little girls expense account:
One pug dog, IS; eight silver brace
lets, S15; one doll, $3; one dolls car
riage, $3.50; to mender, three days
service, $3.50; hospital attendance for
dog, 81; burial of same, Sits; one gold
ring, $3.50; rent of tricycle., $2.s5; med
ical treatment, 1856; gifts for relatives,
81; monkey muff and cape, $s7; gum
ice-cream, soda-water tripod, $24; tennis
racket, $3.50; opera glass, IS; silver
watch, $6; treatment for suffering, $50
Making the annual cost of this sweet
little tyrant, $1,311.7O.

An Improyed Bullet.

A bullet has just been patented, the
base Of which, as we'll as the body, Is
covered by an alloy non-fusible at any
temperature which it is possible to gen.
crate In gun barrel. The necessity for
such bullet has been caused by the in
PRODUCTION OF nitrated or smokeless
powders, which generate such intense
heat that the base or head OF the bullet
is melted and consequently made ragged.
Accuracy OF aim is thus much impaired.
The tendency Of late, in the desire to
secure increased accuracy, has been to
diminish the size of the bore and resort
to compressed powders and cased bull
lets, and the new bullet comes In most
opportunely and enables the latest i'm
proyements TO be utilized. ---

stimulated into offensive, quick playing
he may ill the center well. Bangs is q
substitute Of last year. He knows the
game, but lacks activity and strength.
For the guard there are some ten candi-
dates, differing in merit, but none dis.
tinctly fitted. Maclsie, who was center
rush on his freshman team last year,
lacks weight for such position, since
his one hundred and eighty-five pounds
must be pitted against about two hun
dred pounds in the Yale game. He is an
aggressive man, however, and may
qualify for the place. Vail is about one
hundred and cighty-fve pounds and
rowed No. on the crew last year He
lacks activity, and plays only moder-
ately good football in stationary, de-
fensive way.
Besides these men, Highlands, Pierce,
Rantoul. Berry, Fitzhue and Saltonstall
are all men with good qualities, but the
three center places in the rush-line are
distinctly not filled up to the present
time. On the left end Rantoul, who is
an "old" man, very strong and able,
promises to do more service than he
will nearer the center, but if Dan Shea
can be brought into condition and can
be taught to tackle low, he will prob
ably qualify for the position. He plays
with great vigor, but he is too tall for
his weight and finds difficulty in putting
his strength to the best uses lie
weighs about one hundred and seventy
and is q muscular man from long train
ing in different branches of athletics.
Grant and Eddy are freshmen, the for
mer having played center on his Exeter
team last year; but both have much to
learn, and though they appear to be
good material it is doubtful if they can
become members of the university
team this year. Waters may not be
able to play, but he could fill the place
at tackle or end and has the qualities
in him that make Il good player. lie is
heavy, quick and has learned to get
through the line quickly, which is al
most unique on the present Harvard
team. He will in time make an adj
mirablc man, and it is to be hoped that
he can be used on the team this year.
For the end rush on the left Emaons,
Bond, Collamore, Miller and Curtis are
the most prominent men. Emmons has
come down from the Groton school this
year and is playing active football, but
he does not know the game and has had
no experience in hard university foot
ball.
Gage, Burgess and Cobb arc trying
for quarterback. The fault of all is
that they do not use their heads in di-
recting the game. 1t is probable that
Gage will eventually fill the place, but

he, too, has much to learn, as have
three-quarters of the men mentioned.
Back of the line Lake, probably, has
few equals on the football field to-day.
Trafford ut the apex of the team is
playing better this year, running more
with the ball and using his head far
better than before this season. Cor
bett, if he can bring himself into favor
with the college authorities by passing
satisfactory examinations in certain
studies, will no doubt fill his old posi-
ton. If these three men play they
will make u strong set of backs. Other
candidates are Fearing, who, owing to
his recent illness, will probably not be
allowed to play long by the coaches;
Gray. n new man, who is vigorous,
pushing player, promising we'll for an
other year, if not for this, and Sherwin,
who, if he were wise, would wait until
next year to gain strength and weight
and recover from his injured knee.
There is the possibility in Sherwin of
making the finest running half-back
that any of us have ever seen on a foot
