GRAPES AND CREPONS.

How the Wrinklrd Fabrics Are Woven
The Oriental Grapes.
Grape is a fabric of silk, cotton or
xool. with a wrinkled surface. Crepon
is the French name for Il thick Grape,
hut this season it is any fabric with an
uneven surface suggestive of Grape,
whether wOven like a Grape or in plaits
thrown up by dropping certain welt
threads on the under side at definite in
t~crvals, after the Jacquard manner, and
tightening them by twisting.
The wrinkle of Grape is produced by
making the welt. and sometimes the
warp also. of twisted threads, every
alternate group of threads being twist
ed in the reverse direction. The
threads so arranged are loose. that
is, with space between them, and
when the fabric is completed they UNI
twist. each in its own direction. which
gives a surface of uniform irrcgulari-
ty. Twisting warp and weft makes
the most perfect Grape. If the wcft
only be twisted and the warp straight
the welt threads will push up and down
the warp. making a less durable fabric.
When the twist is in the welt only there
is elasticity across the goods, and when
twisted both ways it is elastic both
ways.
The result of this weaving is a sur
face Of broken lights and shadows; a
surface that reflects less light than if
smooth, and absorbs much. Such a sur
face permits color to he seen to advan-
tage, and grapes are especially beauti-
full in rich colors suited to them, as vivid
red.
Oriental grapes, the most beautiful in
the world. are of silk. or of mixed silk
and cotton. When of part cotton they
are cheaper, but there is no vulgar at
tempt to conceal the cotton, but it is
kept frankly on the surface. and its own
good qualities are made to appear. Cot
ton has less power of reflection than silk,
and. therefore, lends itself to increase
the absorption of light. which is an OBJ
icct in Grape ave Also, the crimped
surface enhances the beauty of cotton
thread.
The japanese Yoboschi Grape has the
warp of silk and the welt of cotton.
Both are twisted. 1t is so sheer and
soft that no one would dream it is not
all silk. Japanese Kanka Grape, with
hair line of color, has straight warp of
silk and twisted welt of cotton. 1t is
semi-transparent, as if the warp were
of spun glass. French Grape is twisted
only in the welt, the welt threads be-
ing of silk and cotton, alternating
regularly to produce a checkered effect.
What is known as mourning Grape is
not a Grape weave. It's wrinkled sur
face is made by stiffening gauze ane
pressing it on a matrix.-N. Y. Sun.

There once lived in the City of Mexico a
Frenchman known as Otavito little Oc-
tave), whose roguerieS kept the town
in a fermcnt. At n time he claimed
to have discovered a specific for the re.
juveneseence of women, and, by
of sensational advertising. he succeeded
in gathering a clientele of forty or fifty
ancient danes, who were assembled. on
a certain day, in a long sala, tricked out
with astrological symbols, crucibles.
alembics and all the paraphernalia Of
c~harlatanry. The conjurer presented
himself before the ladies', and adj
dressed them in f1amboyant lam
guage, ending as follows: And now,
of my soul, it is needful that
the mystic ceremonies before us be
opened by the eldest one among you"
Then, addressing her whose appearance
seemed to indicate priority, he asked
her age. "Thirty-seven years, senor,"
simpered the beldame, who was. at
least. in the seventh decade. And
you, senora?' ''~Thirty-six." And so
on, until he had got them down to n
declared age of twenty years, with a
maximum of thirty-seven. well,
ladies all, you perceive that. without
further proceedings, the miracle is ac-
complished," said Otavito; 'for the least
gallant of men could not call her aught
but young whose years are but thirty
seven-and you see for yourself that is
the age of the oldest among you!-San

SUB.CELlAR DAIRY.
How TO Keep Cream In Good Condition
In a Hot Innate,


In a Hot Climate
The underground method of cooling a
dairy has been tried without much sue
cess for some years, and more especial
ly when it was first introduced aboit a
dozen years ago. The plan was 10 dig
a dcep:diteh like a drain, and lay large
tiles or a stone channel in it connected
at the further end with the open air by
a pipe to supply the draft. But the
device was opposed to scientific princi.
pies and chiefly to that one on which il
is impossible to cause a cold current Of
air to rise in u warm atmosphere, or to
make 4 warm current flow downwards
into a cold, underground passage by
any natural influence. To do this is to
oppose that universal law by which
lighter air rises and colder and denser
air falls-the law of gravitation in fact.
But it is possible to get a cool cur
rent of air in this way by some mechan-
zeal device which will either draw the
air through the underground channel,
or force it through it. Many devices
have been tried for thus rentilating

of which is diverted into the apartment

sub-cellar. the lower part of which is
ut least II pr Ii feet below the surface,
and is closed against the upper and
warmer air, by a perfectly close floor
having a tightly fitting trap door in it
and a stairway down to the bottom.
The cellar is lined with brick or stone
and kept whitewashcd with lime to in

At my feet the noise and tufnult,
In my heart the strivings cease.
And there on the Hill OF Promise
I catch the whispers of Peace.
Some~ay, l forget the burdens,
Forget about raiment and food;
Cease the toiliug and spinning needless,
Content with my measure OF good.
Sometimes, alas. only sometimes!
For the rest, in the vale l stay.

And Home seems SO far away.

GRESHAM IS FOR GROVER
THE JUDGE FAVORs THE DEMO-
CRATIC TARIFF POLICY,

Judge Lambert Tree Confirms the
Correctness of the Report-Judge
Gresham Declines to Talk to Re-
porters on the Subject-A Statement
Expected from Him Soon.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-Au the big In
diana politicians, like United States Treas
urer Nebecker, believe in the statement that
Judge Gresham is to vote for Mr.. Cleveland.
This turn Of affairs. coupled with other
news from Indiana, has made President
Hnrrison's friends so anxious that Immigra-
rion Commissioner Owens has been sent TO
that state to take part in the campaign.
That Judge Gresham's refusal
to again support President Har-
rison will have an important
bearing on the election in Indiana ia shown
by the abuse which the Hoosier friends of
the President heap upon him in their pri-
vate conversation. In 1888 mutual friend
OF the President and Judge Gresham made
six trips to Chicago to see the latter and get
him to write letter saying be would sup
port President Harrison, and when the let
ter was written it was 80 cold that Presi-
dent Hsrrison's friends were inclined to
suppress it on the ground that its publica-
tion will do more harm than good to their
cause.
KNOWN TWO WEEKS AGO.

velops that Judge Gresham's intention to
vote for Mr.. Cleveland was known to sew
eral gentlemen in Chicago two weeks ago,
and that he had about agreed ro write let

who called at his house yesterday. he dined
at Judge Lambert Trees residence last
night. Other guests were Franklin Nc
Veagh and John w. Doane. The distin-
gulshed Jurist persisted in his determination
not to see representatives Of the press.
THE REPORT TRUE.
Judge Tree was asked: DO you know
whether the report published this morning

Judge Gresham told me, the ex-minister
to Belgium replied, that he intended to
