The most fashionable trimmings OF

makers has been the long mapped bea-

blanee in texture to geutleman's silk

ma terials closely resemble each other,
but still retain their characters as satin
and velvet enough to be readily distin-
guished. Black beaver satin is being
used for revers and cordings, and in
millinery for entire bonnets. 1t has
certain character of its own, and as vet
has only appeared at fashionable estab-
lishments which import their own ma
terials. The glace velvets, though no

another season. The Turkish and Cir

fall will be much used during the sea-

laces, frightened by colors and tinsel,

WAKING DOWN PILLOWS.
Easy Method of Keeping The Down From
Working Through.

Easy Method of Keeping The Down From
Working Through.
A curious continuance to prevent the
fluff Of down pillows penetrating the
ticking comes from England. It con-
sists i'm simply waxing the inside of the
ticks before they are filed with down.
Most of the manufacturers of cheap
down pillows fail not only tou firm,
good quality of ticking. but substitute
muslin which is altogether too soft
and sheer for the purpose.
They do this for the specious reason
that their pillows appear thus more
delicate in structure, and are conse-
quently more salable.
II IS possible to make mp oider-down
in this light muslin. as it holds to-
gethcr by its nature and does not shell
off PARTICLES that float about in the air.
If the inside of the muslin case Ice thor
olghly rubbed with wax. it would stiff

remedy all trouble caused by the pro-
trusion ofthe feathers.
Simply turn the ticks wrong side out
ward before filing them, warm a piece
of bceswax slightly and rub il in
straight lines following each other over
the tick. When the entire surface is
waxed. fill it and sew up the tick

Novel Method of Photographic an Enc
my's Camp.
An exceedingly interesting English
invention consists of camera com
bined with a parachute, especially de-
signed for obtaining photographs of
Notifications and of the camps of the
enemy: although pictures may also be
made for general surveying purposes.
The parachute is snugly folded in a
thin case at the end of rocket, which
is fired to the required height and burst
open bv means of time fuse. The ex-
plosion sets free the parachute, which
is protected from injury by means of
casing of asbestos The parachute has
a mum Der of thin umbrella ribs. and
these are forced outward and kept in
that position by means of a strong spir-
al spring.
From the parachute a camera is sus-
pended. and sitting held by the opera
tor is attached 10y a universal joint to
the bottom of the device. for the pur-
pose of pulling the parachute back.
The camera is fitted with an instan-
taneous shutter, operated by clock
work. 50 as to give several exposures at
intervals At the back of the box is an
arrangement by which the plates can
be manipulated the same as cloclSworlx.
a swinging motion can be given the
camera by the operator. and this will
enable him to obtain successive pictures
over a wide area
The whole arrangement is exceeding
" ingenious. and if it can be employed
practically it marks an important step
in the science of modern warfare.
