Cleaning Ontalda Paint.

Soft surah silk makes most effective

heavy lining II they are to be worn
during the winter, but for the early
fall a very light silk lining is all tina,
is required. Frills OF chiffon, of the
plated silk, or of embroidered lisse are
all liked on these bodices, and are
usually becoming. The bodice is OF
white surah silk, laid in soft plaits
from the shoulder down TO the waist,
and having Is a finish a deep added
skirt of the silk. very finely plated.
The joining Is concealed by a white
ribbon girdle, prettily knotted in front,
and with ends that extend below the
skirt portion. About the neck is a frill
OF embroidered chiffon that extends
very nearly to the waist-line, in cas-.
cade fashion. The sleeves are full and
high on the shoulders, but shaped into
the arms at the elbow, and have frills
OF chiffon arranged as turnback cuffs
for the wrist finish. In any color OF
silk desired this bodice would be very
dainty. For daytime wear any of the
dark colors may be chosen; or, for n
young girl, bright scarlet will be in
good taste, while for evening not only

the creator portion of its holding pow
er when it is partially withdrawn, the
plain wire nail, on tho contrary, being

A Gold Mine on n Roor

Three thousand dollars for san old
tin roof would be pretty steep price,
but the man who gets the battered
roof from the old Tabernacle church
at Bread street and South Penn square,
which is now being torn away. fer that
sum will be in great luck. Someyyears
ago the paint was scraped off the old
roof and yielded S.. 900 in fine gold.
II Is almost certain to yield as much
this time. The gold comes from the
mint. When gold is being coined a
considerable quantity Of it voiatilizes
with the smoke through the chimney,
and as soon as 1t strikes the air it falls.
Much Of it falls on the roof of the
mint SO much of il that the officials
save even the water that falls on it
during a shower. All the drains from
the mint ape connected with large watts
in the cellar CT the mint Before the
water finally gets TO the sewer 1t is

withstanding all these precautions. the
gold that Is annually washed into the
Delaware from the mint is worth
thousands of dollars. Every particle
