Unbrcakable Glass.

OF the various attempts to replace brittle
glass by similarly transparent but hexi-
Bile resisting body, that of the Austrian en-
gineer, Herr Eckstein, is worthy of record.
His process, as described by The Industrial
World, is as follows: From four to eight
parts of collodion wool are dissolved in
per cent. in weight of ether or alcohol this
solution is mixed with from 2 to4 per cent.
of castor oil or other nonresinous oil, and
from to 10 per cent of resin or Canada
balsam. This mixture is spread on a glass
plate and dried under the influence of a
current of hot air, by which it is trans
formed in a short space of time into trans
parent, hard, vitreous plate, the thickness
of which can be regulated as desired. The
material thus obtained is said to resist the
action of salts, alkalies and acids, and is
odorless. The advantages which it pos
sesses over glass are that it is flexible and
almost unbreakable. Its inhammability is
much inferior to that of other collodion
combinations, and it can be further reduced
by the addition of magnesium chloride,
while an &dmiXture of zinc white produces
an ivory appearance. Any color or shade
may be impaired to the new glass"

Punching Steel.

Mr.. +. II. Lewis, of the Philadelphia En-
gineers' club, in paper on the use Of soft
steel in bridges, said;
1t is desirable to place a limit on the
thickness of punched steel. The thicker
the material the greater is the danger
caused by punching Recent tests made
show that punching Injuries steel less than
iron, up to say three-quarters Of an inch
thickness, at which point the two materials
are about equal in this respect. Beyond
this point the value of steel after punching
decreases quite rapidly as the thickness in
creases.
In iron the percentage seems to be much
more constant, the range being only from
81 to ~ per cent. The character of the
fracture after punching is also materially
affected by the thickness of the material,
as was seen by examining the photographs
submitted. Mr.. Lewis proposes TO limit
to one-half inch the thickness of mate
rial subjected to punching, except that
in girders over fifty feet long it may be
nine-sixteenths of an inch, in top chords
and end posts five-eighths of an inch, and in
shoes, pedestals and bedplates, three-quar.
ters of an inch,

The Russian Blouse.

There are two or three different kinds of
Russian blouses. The true Russian dress
has long belted blouse extending four
teen to eighteen inches below the waist
line, made with shallow yoke and close
sleeves that have deep full caps ut the
top. This has been made during the
winter of cloth with round yoke and
close sleeves of velvet, or else Of cloth COW
cred with braiding Spring woolens made
in the same way will be trimmed with ben
galine or moire instead of velvet. The
lining is fitted by darts. The outer ma
terial is gathered on full below the yoke,
with or without side forms, and is again
gathered Mt the waist line under the belt.
1t is usually fastened invisibly on the left
side, but may be hooked down the front.
The yoke is round, pointed, or square
across, as the wearer chooses, but must
not he deeper than half way down the arm
holes. The fur border used on winter
gowns will now be replaced by mossy
ruches of silk, or by feather trimming, OF
else by box plated ruches of ribbon. Small
figured brocades will also be stylish for the
yoke, belt and border at the lower edge OF
such blouses.
Thin grenadines, crepons and light silks
are made in Russian fashion, with yoke
of two or three horizontal puffs of the ma,
terial separated by shirring or by marrow
jet passementerie. A frill Of the material
is sometimes added to the end of the yoke.

THE MYSTERY OF oMELeTs.

It Consists I'm Neatncss, Attention to De-
tails and Little Practice.
An idea obtains with good many people
that there is some occult mystery in the
preparation of omelets. AS a fact, nothing
Is necessary beyond ncatness and attention
TO detail. To begin with, the pan in which
the omelet is to be cooked must be delicate
ly clean, and above all perfectly dry. Some
good cooks even 20 so far as to declare that
If it is busted out before using with damp
duster the omelet will be spoiled; certain It
is that most cordons bleux will not allow
their omelet pan to be washed, but empty
It out directly the omelet is made and rub
the pan clean with kitchen paper. Granted
that the pan is clean, bright and dry IRE
member that pan that has once been al
lowed to "catch" is no longer fit to use for
this purpose), the next point to study is the
friture. For this butter is the best, and it
should be used as follows: First put the
pan on the fire to get thoroughly hot, then
lay in the butter and begin to shake the
pan steadily, TO facilitate the spreading of
the butter all over its surface as the friture
melts, and also to avoid any chance of the
latter's catching. Directly the butter is
boiling, which you will know by its becom-
ing perfectly still, and having an almost
unNlSlDle NapOf TlSlnB from IL, pour IN Une
omelet mixture and cook IL till the eggs
are almost set; then tilt the pan toward
you, and with broad knife--a pallet knife
is best-fold the half nearest you over the
farthest one. and slip the whole thing well
down to the front Of the pan (Which, partly
from the tilt will bring the omelet into a
crescent shape) When colored a pretty
golden brown slip it on to very hot dish
and serve at once. The fire for this purpose
must be a moderate one; and remember, IN
omelet does not stop cooking the moment
it leaves the fire. 80, to allow for this, always
lift it off the fire wee bit underdone.
Some cooks aver that good tablespoon
full Of milk to every two eggs, added to the
omelet mixture, will keep it in condition if
it has to wait. For an average small omelet
add tablespoonful of finely'chopped pars-
ley and pepper to taste to the eggs beaten
till light, and mix thoroughly. Melt one
ounce of butter, as already directed, and
cook the mixture. Do not add any salt to
| it, but sprinkle the amount required on
| the omelet when dishing.

Cot and Table Covers.

A lovely cot cover is made in a soft fan
mel or elder cloth, which has puffy sur
face. This is pinked around and then en-
broidered with sprays Of flowers all over,
or the word Baby" is worked across. A
frill of lace may be introduced beneath the
pinking, but this is unnecessary. The re-
vived crochet work has been applied to cot
covers, which are generally made in thick
and soft wool.
Brocades are much used for handsome
table covers. For teacloth linen with
drawn borders finds most favor, and some
are charmingly embroidered in the wash
ing flax threads, which have all the ap,
pearance of silk without its costliness.
Satin sheeting, serge and large variety
of woolen stuffs are used for the purpose,
and some of the brocades have the outline
worked all over them. There are several
kinds of embroidery applied to tablecloths
and it is becoming the fashion to introduce
apphques of velvet intermixed with feather
stitching and other embroideries.

assistants to erect the hut. This took four
days, during which 80 party was camp

ENGLISH GOOD FORM.
Tho Ffesher and Freer Code Which Re
places the Old Social Etiquette.

Tho Ffesher and Freer Code Which Re
places. the Old Social Etiquette.
In England, whether for good or evil, the
old code of social etiquette is being super
seded by fresh one which has introduced
important notifications. Some think the
changes beneficia4; others that they have
done much to Danish the courtesy and
politeness which gave such added charm
to the intercourse of we'll bred people,
which greater latitude and freedom in
host and guest do not replace satisfactorily.
Etiquette proper, as it was understood
in the court of Louis XIV, has been trans.
planted into all others. 1t was q strict
code, founded on reciprocal courtesy and
reverence, but it has yielded to less Sc
we're and authoritative one, which bears
the name of good form. Good form is
elastic, fuctuating, not immovable, but it
is subtly imperious, and it expects society
to conform to its unwritten rules. Some
are of mushroom growth, others have had
several years experience, according TO a
| writer in the New York Sun, who notes
several dictates of modern English good
form as follows:
The question of introducing guests to
one another is veXing. Good form has, how
ever, at present come to the conclusion that
in society, being large family, each men,
ber is presupposed to know the rest, while
allowing that there may be, in those who
meet socially, few exceptions who are not
acquainted personally with the others. At
large reception, where that circumstance
cannot interfere with general comfort, there
is no need for introductions, but at after
noon 'at homes" and small dinner parties
it is better to mention informally the names
of all those present. A formal presentation
Implies the consent of both parties, who
have been consulted previously. It is then
the rule to present the younger and less
distinguished person to the other. Both ex-
change cards withU limited period, the
one introduced taking the initiative. Bache-
lors must leave cards with married people
to whom they have been presented. A
punctiliously polite man, and all of the
ladies', leave cards where they have dined;
the limit of week is not now adhered TO,
any reasonable time being allowable. We
are far now from the time when, according
to old French tradition, the host used to
call on his whilom guests in the three fol-
lowing days ito thank them for having
taken the trouble of coming to him."
Good form" eXacts a written answer to
a dinner invitation, and the reply must not
be delayed under penalty of appearing in
considerate to the hostess Printed inyi-
tations to receptions may be left unanswer-
ed or acknowledged by leaving cards

According to Science NJ. Palmieri, direc-
tor of the Vesuvian observatory, is respon-
sible for the statement that all the great
eruptions of Vesuvius take place at the
new or full moon, and especially eclipses.
The eclipse of June II, 1890, was accom-
panied by violent earth currents. On the
other hsnd, Captain de Montessus, who
has patiently accumulated observations
and data concerning earthquakes, has now
q catalogue of more than 10000 of these
phenomena individually discussed. He es-
tablishes that earthquakes are distributed
uniformly throughout the day and night,
that they have no relation to moon culmi-
nations and astronomical seasons, and
that such condolences which have been
claimed in the past rest on insufficient
ground.

Should tho Grip BE Fed or starvedq

Sir II. Tyler, an English authority, says
that the prevalent notion appears ut pres
ent to be that the influenza being of de-
pressing character, it is necessary to ad-
minister stimulants in the form of wine
and spirits, and invalid food of highly
nutritive nature; and patients are recon-
mended-as many will have obseryed-to
persist in these Sustaining" beverages
even when they feel nature rebelling
against ther1, and when they do not find
benefit, but rather the contrary, from them.
He states that this notion of combating a
depressing complaint by the exhibition of
stimulating remedies was especially advo-
eated. in a recent article by an eminent
physician, but it would certainly appear to
have led to much aggravation and numer-
Gus fatal results. On the other hand, at
tacks of influenza, heralded by the most
distressing symptoms, have rapidly sub
sided under simple treatment and low diet,
and the patients have been up and at work
again in three or four days without any
after effects of an injurious character.

Iron Turnings in Cask Foundations.

A very simple method of laying the
foundations for low wooden building to
be used for storage of machinery on a
swampy location which did not furnish a
firm subsoil is described by Engineering:
Casks were set in holes in the ground
along the line of posts and were filed to
the depth Of about one foot with iron turn
ings. The posts were set in the casks,
which were then filed with iron turnings
compactly rammed in place. A solution
of salt and water was then slowly poured
over these turnings, which compactly so
lidifed into hard mass The heat of the
oxidation of the iron was so great that
the posts smoked and were charred, the
latter fact probably being the reason why
they have not as yet exhibited any signs of
decay, and in this respect the use OF iron
turnings furnishes an advantage over the
use of concrete for cask foundations"

Treatment for Persistent Dandrufr.

The following treatment is reported by a
physician to have given him good results
in persistent dandruff: The scalp should
first be thoroughly washed with soap and
hot water and then thoroughly dried with
a warm and soft cloth. There should then
be rubbed into the scalp glycerin of tan
min, of the strength of ten to thirty grains
to the ounce. Very obstinate cases will re-
quire the higher strength of tannin. This
process should be repeated twice week at
first, once week afterward. If tanniu
fails, as it will in some cases, then resort is
had to resorcin. After the formation OF
dandruff has ceased the head should he
rubbed daily with olive oil, containing tC
the ounce ten grains of carbolic acid and q
dram of oil Of cinnamon.

Fashions In Spring Coats.

It becomes more and more difficult to
keep pace with the fashions. New spring
models in English coats are entirely unlike
those that are being worn now in shape
and in length. They are much longer,
and most of them are made with plait at
the back. The covert coat that is so fash
ionable for driving is very ''horsey'' gar
ment. 1t is exactly like n mans coat, even
to the pockets, and is sometimes set off by
a velvet collar. One Of the handsomest of
the spring coats is of black velvet lined
with green silk and trimmed with green
jet. 1t has plait at the back, big sleeves
and frill at the neck. 1t is foretoid that
beautiful metal clasps will be an impor.
tant feature IN the new mantles.

COMMON EMERGENCIES.
How to Check Hcmorrhage from Small
Wounds and from the Nose.

How to Check Hcmorrhage from Small
Wounds and from the Nose.
A physician gives in Popular Science
News some suggestions as to what people
should do in the smaller surgical emergen-
cies constantly arising in the domestic cir
Gle, when surgeon is not thought neces-
sary or cannot be quickly enough reached
He says: "When minute bleeding points -
such as sometimes occur upon the face after
the use Of the razor-are neither checked
spontaneously nor by the usual means, a
drop of tincture of iron applied on pledget
of cotton or the end of q match, will ut once
put an end TO the bleeding. Sometimes
obstinate and even alarming hemorrhage
follows the extraction of q tooth. In such
a case bit Of cotton saturated with alum
solution or sprinkled with alum powder
and applied ~ the cavity will usually work
admirably; lat should these means fail to
afford relief, pledget of cotton saturated
with tincturc of iron and pressed into the
cavity will promptly stanch the flow, un-
less the case oe q rare and exceptional one.
"EpistaXis, or bleeding from the nose, is q
common-though seldom serious-form of
hemorrhagc. 1t is often checked spon-
taneously, or by such simple means as
bathing the face and nasal cavities with
cold water Sometimes, however, when
more persistent, some styptic application
may he needed. Alum water or a solution
of tannic acid may be snuffed up the nose
from the palm of the hand, or some pow
dered styptic may be blown into the nasal
cavities by means of quill, roll Of paper
or other tube. A wad of cotton pushed
into the bleeding side will often suffice n
check the flow. But the most unique,
simple aud efficient way TO check an OBJ.
stinate nasal hemorrhage is by pressing an
ordinary clothespin firmly over the car
tilaginOus portion of the nose, from above
downward, and thus, by occluding the
anterior mares, surely prevent all further
bleeding from that quarter"
