1t is their cost, and also the fact that
rain and moisture are inimical to ostrich
plumes, and initiates against even larg-
er share of popularity than they at pres

be almost universally worn, for they are
eminently stylish and becoming when

A trimming very much in favor in Paris
for demi-dress skirts is a narrow braiding
or puff of velvet three inches wide at
most, placed at the extreme edge Of the
skirt. 1t gives support to it and assists in
producing the f1aring effect now so gen.
orally sought. This trimming will replace
the narrow fur band on handsome new
skirts for spring wear.

MAKING A PAPER BAG.
A New Process which Immensely Simpli-
fies the Operation.


A new and improved process Of form
irg square bottomed paper bags from bel
lows-sided tubing consists essentially in a
method of completing the formation of the
folds which are to compose the actual
bottom of the bag before forming or re
ducing to their final proportions the right
angled triangular folds in the bellows side
of the body of the blank, which enable the
finished bag to be collapsed for convent
ence in packing and transportation. In
the various process heretofore employed
in making this class of paper bag it has
been customary to make preliminary
croSsfolds in the blank, or in one ply
thereof. at distance from the intended
plane of the bag bottom equal to the depth
of the bellowsside tucks of the blank,
and to form the triangular folds in their
final right-angled proportions either before
or simultaneously with the actual bot.
tom folds of the bags.
These several folds are so intricate and
their relation to each other is SO involved
that extreme accuracy is required IN the
devices used for forming them, and in the
tucked tube blanks in which they are
made. Failure in either to meet these
eXacting requirements has resulted in
more or less distorted and imperfect bag
bottoms. Therefore when the triangular
folds are made in their final exact proper
tons, either before or simultaneously with
the bottom folds, it often happens that
the inaccuracies originating IN the former
are thrown into the latter folds. These
latter folds are for permanently closing
the bottom of the bags and they are there
fore of much greater Importance than the
triangular folds which exist merely for
the temporary purpose of enabling the
finished bags to be collapsed, and which
therefore do not affect the utility of the pa
per bag itself.
This new process separates the plies of
the blank to a greater distance than is
required for the final proportions of the
triangular folds, and thus allows plenty
of slack in the side tucks The bottom
folds are then made in way to form
in the slack side tucks rather indefinitely
outlined acute triangular folds, which
are afterward reduced to definite right
angled proportions by the operations of
collapsing the finished bag.
This process may be applied to the
folding of blanks which are of a suitable
length for a single bag, and it may also
be applied to the folding of the ends of
a blank of sufficient length to form two

Poor Indeed.

The prospect of relief from drastic cathar-
tics for persons troubled with constipation is
poor indeed. True they act upon the bowels.
but this they do with violence, and their
operation tends to weaken the lntestlnes,
and is prejudicial to the stomach. Hostel
ters Stomach BitterS is an efectual laXa-
tive, but it neither gripes nor enfeebles.
Furthermore, it promotes digestion and q
regular action of the liver and the kidneys,
1t is an efficient barrier against and remedy
for malarial complaints and rheumatism, and
is of great benefit to the weak, nervous and
aged. As a medicinal stimulant it cannot
be surpassed. Physicians cordially recon-
mend it. and its professional Endorsement is
fully borne out by popular experience. Ap-

A Talking Clock.

It is said that matchmaker at Geneva
proposes to make a chronometer which
will speak, instead of ringing the time,
when the button is pressed. He has de-
voted a great deal of patient study to his
invention, the speaking process being, pro
duced by means of a small revolving
photographic plate in which presses a
small piece of steel. The vibrations re-
sulting give rise to words denoting the
exact time. On the perfection OF inyen-
tons of this class-that is to say, of what
may be called the curious rather than the
useful order-much time and study are
spent without, it appears to us, much COM
pensating advantage. A speaking chro-
nometer would certainly be a curiosity in
it's line, but nothing more since all most
people want to know is the exact time,
and whether they are apprlsed OF the
hour by ringing or by words matters little.
The Geneva Matchmaker is said to have
grown wasted and worn in the pursuit
of his hobby-the perfection of perfect
speaking timepiece, which he has not yet
succeeded in making London Standard.

Gold Filings for Teeth.

People, says dentist, wonder why
gold is used for stopping, and are apt
to credit the dentist with employing it
for his own ends, on the ground that he
can charge more and get corresponding
~ larger profits than would be the case
if he used any baser and less expensive
metal; but, he says. in explanation, a
little reflection would convince the sus-
picious ones that there is no ground
whatever for such ideas and that the
real reason for using gold is that it will
weld while cold and will successfully re-
sist the action of the acids and fluids of

The word doyley, now a familiar one
with ladies, is derived from the name OF
Robert D'Oyley. one of me followers OF
William the Norman. He received a
grant of valuable lands on the eonsldleracc
ton of a yearly tender of tablecloth of
three shillings value at the feast of St.
Michael. Agreeably to the fashion of the
time, the ladies of the D'Oyley family
were accustomed to embroider and orna
ment the quit-rent tablecloths; hence,
these cloths becoming curiosities, and ac>
cumulating in the course of years, were
at length brought into use as napkins at
the royal table, and called doyleys.-New

ten inches in length, and unusually lively

the snake at least 10000 years old.
