Embroidery MACHINES.

A new embroidery machine. oper-
ated by steam power, has been at
work for some time In Swiss fac
tory. 1t consists of two ordinary
hand machines, so coupled together
that they have only one pattern
board and one manual in the center,
and can be attended by one en-
broiderer. In order to connect the
steam power with the machine the
embroiderer has merely to press the
thumb on the pin Of the crank be.
longing to the manual, and the car
rage moves at once, the speed being
regulated by the amount Of pressure
on the pin. From 5000 to 5000
stitches per day of ten hours may be

Present Fasnions Unsatisfactory.

Fashion does not appear to be
wholly satisfied with herself just now.
Aware that her recent ventures are
not altogether popular, the great die
tator is continually trying to improve
upon her original and somewhat
crude ideas. Nevertheless, what are
really meant for Improvements often
serve to accentuate the ugliness or
eccentricity OF styles under the i'm
proving process. The skirts, bodices,
sleeves. and trimmings are in no sense
prettier or more artistic than they
were a year ago, and it would seem
that the only real commendable,
agreeable change is the removing Of
the sweeping train from the skirts of
street dresses. Very few women are
found who are really pleased with the
arbiter of dress in hor rroSant mood.

Don't Blame the Cook

If baking powder is not uniform in. strength,
so that the same quantity will always do the same
work, no one can know how to use it. and uni
formly good light food cannot be produced with it.
All baking powders except Royal, because
improperly compounded and made from inferior
materials, lose their strength quickly when the can
is opened for use. At subsequent bakings there
will be noticed falling off in strength. The food
isheavy and the flour, eggs and butter wasted.
1t is always the case that the consumer suffers
in pocket if not in health, by accepting any sub
sttute for the Royal Baking Powder The Royal
is the embodiment of all the excellence that it is
possible to attain in an absolutely pure powder.
1t is always strictly reliable. 1t is not only more
economical because of its greater strength, but
will retain its full leavening power which no
other powder WILL until used and make more

there is now considerable typhoid fever
and scarlet fever over the state, and one

Swallow, was unable to be present be-

A letter was addressed to Governor

would be the proper thing to set aside
$4,000 of the appropriation for an cpl
demic of cholera to be used in paying
the expenses of the members of the
board in visiting the large cities in their
respective districts for the purpose of
examining the places likely to produce
contagion, and urging upon the local
authorities the necessity of cleaning up.
In addition to this, the board has al

A s.v Roeket Camera.

An interesting English invention
consists of a camera combined with a
parachute, especially designed for OBJ.
tanning photographs of Notifications
and of the camps of the enemy, al.
though pictures may also be made
for general surveying purposes. The
parachute is snugly folded in thin
case at the end of rocket, which is
fired to the required height and
bursts open by means of time fuse.
The explosion sets free the parachute,
which is protected from injury by
means of casing of asbestus. The
parachute has number of thin UNI
brella ribs, and these are forced out
ward and kept in that position by
means of a strong spiral spring.
From the parachute n camera is
suspended, and a string held by the
operator is attached by a universal
joint to the bottom of the device for
the purpose of pulling the parachute
back The camera is fitted with an
instantaneous shutter operated by
clocl1work, SO as to give several ex-
posures at intervals. At the back of
the box is an arrangement by which
the plates can be manipulated by
clockwork A swinging motion can
be given to tho camera by the opera
tor, and this will enable him to OBJ
tain successive pictures over wide
area.-Boston Transcript.

A sympathetIo PhIlanlltonlst.

A London police magistrate, the
late Montagu Williams. was a phi
1anfhropist whose sympathy secured
for him the gratitude of the poor, so
that he seldom had, like the mechan-
ical philanthropists, occasion to
grumble at the ingratitude of those
he helped
During the winter of 1872 he
bought blankets and gave them to
sufferers from the prolonged cold.
The kind of blankets he purchased
revealed his sympathetic nature. He
says:
Perhaps I ought to mention that
the blankets ordered were not gray
ones. ''Of course, sir, said the shop
man as he spread out before me a
large white blanket with a blue Dor
der, I'VE have a great number of
gray ones In stock at much lower
price "a
THANK you" I replied emphatic
ally, but have no intention of pur-
chasing them. y
AS knew perfectly well, the poor
do not like gray blankets. mot like
them indeed! - I fancy 1 hear some
one exclaim. mot like theml Then
they don't deserve them at all. Let
them go without" But this is not
my view. Human nature Is human

Relation Of the Earth to tho Universe.
The volume occupied by this stu
pendous globe of ours which includes
within it all possible visible material
must be but a speck when compared
with the space that contains it.
Think of the water in the Atlantic
ocean and think of the water in a
single drop. As the drop is to the At
lantic ocean, so is this sphere in the
boundless extent of space. AS far as
we know, it would seem that there
could be quite as many of such
spheres in space as there are drops of
water in the Atlantic ocean. And
in all probability these other spheres
throughout space are tenanted by
stars, systems and galaxies just as
grand in themselves. just as impos-
ing In their collocatons and just as
overwhelming in their myriads as
are those which lie within that one
particular sphere of which alone we
know anything with certainty.
Provided with this conception we
see at once that the doctrine of q Wis
ible central sun is an absurdity. As
to whether there may be some CEN
trail sun somewhere or other 1 can
express no opinion, save that 1 do not
see any reason whatever to think
that such body should exist. But
we may feel practically certain, ac-
cording to all rational grounds of
probability, that even if there were a
central sun IN the universe it would
not lie within our kep.-Sir Robert
Ball in Fortnightly Review.

are rather fattering as indicating the

monstrosities- For example, unre-
formed as is our present corset it is
a fairy web compared to one dating
