Weighing Silk.

Some improvements in the treatment
Of silk are noted. Ordinarily silk is
weighted by depositing tannate of
tin on the fiber; the material receives a
bath of tannic acid and then another of
perchloride Of tin, repetition of this
being made until an increase of the
weight amounts to from 15 to 20 per
cent, beyond which it is not considered
safe to go in the case of silk intended to
be dyed light shades or to be bleached.
Recently German inventor has brought
forward process in which silica is the
weighing agent. In carrying out this
method three steps are described. First,
the silk, raw or in any stage of manu-
facture and either before or after dye
ing, is worked for an hour in bath of
perchloride of tin; then, after squeezing
and washing, it is worked in warm
solution of water glass or soluble sill
cate of soda for about an hour, followed
by washing, having also been previously
passed through solution of phosphate
of soda. The operation may be repeated
again and again with no harmful effect
on the fiber or on the subsequent dye
ing, and in five operations the silk may
be increased in weight some 100 to 100
per cent. The silk is now soaped, and,
If already dyed, is cleared in an emul-
sion Of olive oil and acid. York

Factory Buildings.

One of the most perplexing problems
that the mechanical engineer or the su
perintendent of a manufacturing estab-
lishment encounters is the dovetailing
of new buildings upon old ones SO as to
work in harmony with them and at the
same time introduce such improve
ments as may be necessary. frequently
half dozen buildings are erected on a
large plot of ground, each building fac
ing in way that seems most conven-
lent at the time and without any particu-
lar reference to the others. When the
establishment has grown SO that the
available ground area must be nearly
covered over with buildings and each
one must, either by shafting or betting,
be connected with its neighbor or with
some central source of power, then the
trouble arising from lack of harmony in
the original structures makes itself felt
in most aggravating manner. 1t seems
sometimes as though trouble had been
created on purpose by those who first
erected the shops, SO aggravating and
uncompromising do the buildings ap-
pear. The moral therefore is that in
putting up shop it is well to, think a
long way ahead and to consider at least
some Of the most probable contingencies
Of the future. -Cassier's Magazine.

WELSH SUPERSTITIONS.

They Associate Spectral Hounds With
Mountain Storms.
One of the many curious superstitions
of the Welsh peasantry is that of Cron
Annwn, or 'the spirit hounds of the
air." When storm RACES over the
mountains of Wales, the peasant will
tell you that his ear can discern the
howl of the Cron Annwn mingled with
that of the wind, but sufficiently clear
and distinct to admit Of no mistake OF
what it is.
These Esprit hounds, he tells you,
are the spectral dogs which hunt the
souls Of the dead, or which foreteL, by
their expectant cry, the approaching
death of some person of evil deeds. Few
of those who pretend that they can so
readily distinguish the cry of the soul
hunting pack are willing to admit that
they have ever actually seen Cron
Annwn, "for," they say, "who would
linger until such specters dawned upon
the sight?" They are described by Fall
esin, and also in the "Mabinogion,
where it is said they are of clear, shin
ing white, with red ears. The above
seems to be the universal description,
and on that account the author of
Mythology of the Ancient Druids"
gives it as his opinion that they are
really mystical transformations of
Druidish priests, with their white robes
and red tiaras'
In the popular superstitions OF Ire
land, where similar belief in spectral
hounds exists, they are said to be ''jet
black, with eyes and teeth of fire. Old
Con McMichael, who murdered 30 per-
sons in the early part Of the fifteenth
century, and who got rid of his victims
by burning their bodies, is said to have
been eaten by spectral dogs "that could
be seen high in the air awfully rending
and tearing his fesh.'' One of the pecul
iarities of the Cron Annwn, according
to the Rev. Edmund James, is that the
farther away they are the louder their
cries appear, the sound decreasing as they
draw near.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

HIS GRAce,s susPENDERs.
Clever Ruse by Which Wellingtons Auto
graph Was Secured.


1t is we'll known that toward the lat
ter years of the Duke Of Wellington s
life it was next to impossible to coax or
wheedle his autograph out of him. All
the stratagems used to get reply from
him to letters failed; he either did not
answer them at all or directed his pri-
vate secretary to do so, and thus the IA
nous signature of Wellington became
a rarity highly priced by collectors.
Apropos of this Answers tells Of a
London lady who had an album gar
nished with the autographs of most of
the great men of the day, but wanted
that of the "Great Captain She men
toned her distress to friend, certain
Mr.. H., and few days after he, to her
great surprise and pleasure, brought her
a note from the hand of the victor Of
Waterloo. 1t ran thus:
"Field Marshal the Duke of Yelling
ton never ordered a pair of braces of the
Messrs. Simpkin. If F. M. the Duke of
Wellington had ordered the articles, he
could not forget it. f. M. the Duke of
Wellington always pays for his braces.
This was a very odd document for a
lady's album, but its authenticity was
undoubted, and it therefore found the
best place in the interesting collection.
The way in which this singular note
was elected was this:
Mr.. H. filled up one of the bankruptcy
court forms and signed it, informing
the duke that in winding up the affairs
of Messrs. Simpkin he (the assignee)
found on their books the sum of 6s. Cd.
due by his grace for pair of braces,
which he requested the duke would i'm
mediately pay or have paid. Mr.. Fl. s
ruse was founded on pure fiction. but it
succeeded.

A PLAGUE oE PARIS.
The wild Dogs of the Days of the Reig
of Terror.

The Wild Dogs of the Days of the Reign
of Terror.
So many startling events happened
from day to day during the reign of
terror that the apparition of wild dogs
in Paris is commonly overlooked. But
it was quite natural The greater part
Of those grandees who fled or went in
to hiding kept dogs, and very few of
them were able to make any arrange
ment for the poor beasts when they left
home.
The dogs, abandoned, took to the
streets, of course, and shortly they be.
gan to congregate in two packs, one oc-
cupying the Champs Elysees and one
the Bois de Boulogne. Soon they became
public danger. Carlyle pokes fun at
Santerre, the brewer, who proposed a
law that all dogs should be hanged; he
had not noticed the paragraphs in the
newspapers telling how people had been
attacked in the Champs Elysees.
At length the situation became really
grave, as is easily understood when
thousands of starving animals have to
find subsistence in starving city. Many
erful fighting breeds. So in September,
1898, drastic measures were taken
against the Champs Elysees pack.
Two battalions of the national guard
surrounded the area, leaving gap to-
ward the Rue Royale, while muititudes
of ragamuffins beat the cover. The game
was driven up The Rue Royale to the
Place Royale, where troops made bat
tue of it, firing volleys. Three days con-
secutively this operation was repeated,
and more than 5000 dead dogs lay in
the place.
A certain Gaspardin received orders
to clear them away, and he, short of
means, applied for the royal equipages.
1t was timely jest, greeted with ap-
plause. So M. Gaspardin packed the
dead dogs neck and heels in gilded
coaches as full as they would hold and
made state procession through delight
ed Paris. s.-Pearson' s Weekly.

The first modern italian writer who al
iudes to the public performances Of mar
tonettes is the learned DIR. Jerome Cardan,
who was born at Pava in 1901. He speaks
with positive enthusiasm of the perfection
to which the art of working the little fig
ures had then been brought, how by the
pulling of single string they could be
made to play, fight, hunt, dance, blow
trumpets and cook Every artistically." !"
Judging from sixteenth century pictures
and descriptions, the popular puppet shows
of those days differed but little from the
performances that may be witnessed on
the piazza of any Italian city in our own
time.
There was the little portable stage, or
castelletto, on which the burattini of Flor
ence and Rome and the fantoccini of Ma
pies played their mimic parts. The latter
city was the birthplace of the hero of the
modern street drama, "Pulcinella, SO
named, it is said, from the hen chicken,
whose cry his voice Is supposed to resem-
BILE. The Neapolitan Pulcinella was by no
means such monster Of iniquity as our
English Punch. He seems to have been
nothing worse than pleasure loving,
quick witted, irresponsible scamp of the
"nobody's enemy but his own" type

Hatohine Egg. on . Fire Engine.

A good story is told concerning the
members of the fire brigade in certain
town not far from Hastings. On one oc-
casion it appears fire broke out in the
town, and rush was naturally made
for the fire engine, which was always
kept on the premises of one Of the in
hahitants. When the men attempted to
take the engine out, however, they were
met with the exclamation from the GUS
todian:
eli ye can't take that out I've got
a hen sitting on there, and you'll break
her eggs.'
Tradition AYERS that the men, seeing
the force Of this argument, instantly
withdrew, and the fire was put out by

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness Is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
fammed condition of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

One of Fields Franks,

A story that has been written about
Field concerns the trick he played on
two car loads of Kansas City merchants
who went away one time on an excur-
sion. Each car was to go by different
route, and the cars separated at an early
hour in the morning when everybody
was asleep, except Gene Field, who was
along to write up the trip. Just before
the cars parted company he carried all
the shoes from one sleeper into the other
and carefully exchanged them. Then he
took the shoes from the sleeper that had
a double supply and carried them into
the sleeper where nobody had any shoes.
The next morning there was blue
streak two ways across Kansas. Every
man in both sleepers was miles and
miles away from his own shoes.
