Juck's Sensitizing Process.

The sensitizing Of canvas, silk and
paper has been much simplified and per-
fected, according to now process due
to Juck Of Berlin. A mixture Of bro
mide and iodide of silver is precipitated
at q temperature Of 28 degrees G. in the
presence Of trace Of gelatin and is
maintained at that temperature for an
hour or SO, with constant agitation, so
as to prevent the precipitate from coag-
ulating. Washing in centrifugal ma
chine removes the alkaline nitrate, and
this Is followed by mixing thoroughly
with cold solution of arrowroot which
has been boiled in water until perfectly
clear. The fabric or paper to be sensi
tized is now coated by means Of a
sponge in the darkroom and dried, and
If the emulsion has not been washed it
is soaked in water for an hour and dried
again. Development takes place as for
an ordinary gelatino- bromide emulsion.
Prints so made, says Juck, lend them
selves far more readily to finishing in
orayons, oils or water colors than when
the fabric has been coated with an elnul-
sion in gelatin, as there is no risk of
the whole film stripping off the canvas.
Paper prints made with the arrowroot
emulsion may also be finished with
both chalk and the brush, which was
impossible before.

Cooks Of tho Future.

A writer in The New England Kitch-
en- Is of the opinion that the teaching Of
cooking in the future will be in the
hands Of specialists-that is, the work
will be divided into branches, as cook
ing for the sick, the preparing of meats,
making bread and the like. The writer
further states that "the demand for
teachers OF the household arts seems to
be greater than the supply. There have
been many calls lately for teachers Of
cookery who are also qualified to teach
sewing and millinery, and good salaries
have been offered, ranging from 5000 to
81, 300 per year"

EACH GIRL WORE COURT PLASTER
And So the Youth CouIdn't Tell Which

And So the Youth Couldn't Tell Which
Came Into His Room.
The young man who thinks he is GO
ing to come out ahead in any joke in
which girl of ordinary sharpness is in.
volved is sure to find his mistake. 1t
happened some time ago in a certain
college that the dormitories Of both the
young lady and gentlemen students
opened into the same hall
One evening near midnight one of the
girls, who had slipped out of her room
to enjoy a secret chat with oue of the
other girls, was hurrying to her room,
and in the dark mistook the room, en-
tering the room Of one of the boys by
mistake. He was standing by the gas
iet, having just turned out the light,
zndwhen she had found the match which
she carried in her pocket and started to
light the gas she stumbled against him.
Of course she screamed and started for
the door, but he was too quick for her,
and holding her moment actually bit
her cheek in order that he might iden-
tify the young lady when next they met.
Of course her wrath knew no bounds.
and when she finally reached her room
she called an indignation meeting of the
other girls and explained what the hor-
rid fellow had presumed to do. She
could never face him again and was not
going to chapel in the morning. But
then of course he would know who she
was, and size appealed to the girls TO
help her out of the difficulty. They did.
The next morning when the girl stu.
dents filed past the boys at devotional
exercises in the chapel one wicked youth
looked over the top of his testament only
to see a procession of ~ girls, each hay
ing long strip of black court plaster
on her left cheek. He has never yet dis.
covered which girl he bit. -Indianapolis

but Picturesque Vehicle.
One would scarcely expect to find OK
carts made in this city, but they arr
made here by one MAI afacturer as a part
Of a general wagon making business.
The sale of OK carts in this country is
decreasing Here the use of them has
always in large measure been confined
to the rough and hilly farms of the New
England and middle states, and even in
those states they are now giving way to
carts and wagons drawn by horses. Old
farmers brought up to use OK carts con-
tinue to use them, but their sons doNot
The younger men buy not oxen. but
horses, not OK carts, but wagons and
horse carts How much of this change
is due to the fact that the stony, hilly
lands are now pretty well cleared and
that oxen are less needed for blowing,
how much is due to the spirit of the
age with its quicker moveEssnt in all
Che fields of labor, how much to a great
81 inclination toward luxury, it might
be difficult to say, but the On cart is
passing away. 1t is still used, however,
10 some extent. 1t may be met perhaps
N the haying field, perhaps under the
spreading elms at the village black
smiths shop. The cart met amid such
surroundings is quite as likely to have
been made IN the city as in the country,
for they are all substantially alike
The only important changes that have
been made in OK carts in many years
have been the substitution Of iron for
wooden axles and the broadening of the
face of the wheel. All OK carts are now
built with iron axles and 4 inch tires
New York city built OK carts are sold
in western Connecticut, in western
Massachusetts and in New York, and
occasionally in remoter parts of this
country There is steady demand for
them from the planters of the West In
dies and of Central and South America.
An OK cart costs about $100.-New
