THE BEAUTY OF NULL
How 1t May BE Used In the Making of
Pretty Costume.

How It May BE Used in the Making of a
Pretty Costume.
The beauty of null is something that
can never be denied, and while IL is not
a particularly expensive material, II
becomes rather costly to make il up,
inasmuch as silk or satin is required
fond of pretty clothes and economical,
has saved the white silk or white satin
party dress that has served its time,
and utilities 1t. after il has been thor
oughly cleaned, as a foundation for
the null skirt, under which il looks so
we'll II might be that instead of
white 1t was pale pink or blue that
did service, for this would also be in
good taste and make very effective
background for the thin null. Instead
of being plated the null skirt is care
fully gathered and falls over its silky
lining in fine curves Its trimming
consists of three narrow hounces care
fully hemmed by hand, and headed by
a guile, which is, in reality, a triple
box-plait of very narrow pink satin
ribbon. Broad pink ribbon, that which
is known as the sash width, makes the
yoke; and the lower part of the bodice,
which is of the null, is fu1led to it.
This fullness is evenly laid on the yoke
edge, but at the waist IL is drawn TO
the center so that pointed effect is
achieved
The yoke is overlaid with rather
coarse lace, white in color, and the
collar, which is of the folded null, has
an edge of lace turned over on it as if
it were a specially-made rolling collar.
The pointed belt is of folded pink rib
bon, and the sleeves are of the null,
very full, but dropping. Home

COATING COTTON WITH SILK.
4 Process Similar to Silver Plating Tried
on Textile Fabrics

-
on Textile Fabrics
A great deal of tableware is made of
IN alloy containing copper, zinc and
nickel, plated with silver. Similarly,
has now been found practicable to
give a silk coating to cotton and linen
fabrics, thus impArting to the goods
beautiful luster and soft feeling not
found in the untreated material The
silk used for the purpose is waste that
could not be devoted to any other
service.
A French publication, the ''Moniteur
de h Teinture," recently described the
apparatus and process required for
this work The solid framework of all
vegetable fiber is composed mainly Of
a chemical compound, called cellulose.
Any cellulose tissue may be treated
successfully by this system. The yarn
-bsth u strong sulphuric acid or caustic
potash If there be any animal fiber
intermixed with the cellulose, tie acid
bath is preferable By COMPRISING
the material with rollers the air is
forced out of the pores, and the liquid
is more readily absorbed Then. after
going through a washing machine,
the cloth is dried under tension to
keep 1t from creasing. The tissue
has now only been freed from
certain impurities and become whittier,
but its nature has been slightly modi-
fed. Another bath is prepared, in
which silk waste hes been dissolved.
The liquid used for this purpose is
solution Of very pure hydrated oxide
of copper or nickel in ammonia, al
though here again an acid may be used
instead of an alkan. Special provision
is made through water-jackets, for
keeping all these liquids cool The
temperature must be maintained at or
below forty-fve degrees Fahrenheit
At length the goods to be coated are
run through the silk solution, and
squeezed as before to exclude air and
absorb the liquid The silk thus pene-
trates all through the cellulose. In
the next drying the cloth loses the am
monia. which is carefully recovered in
the form of vapor, condensed and used
again. The material is therefore
soaked in a weak solution of an acid
having a special affinity for that metal,
and forming Herewith a salt which
easily dissolves- After fresh washing,
then, the cellulose is left with coat
ing of silk and nothing more If this
first coat is not as thick as is desired,
q second and third may be applied,
and then the silk-tissues are mechanic
ally finished by beetling, calendering,
brushing, polishing and pressing If
any dye is to be impaired to the goods,
IL is used Just before they are immersed
in the silk solution.-N Y. Tribune

Official reports indicate that there are
employed on the city post-office today one
hundred and twenty-five men. This Is an
excessively large number to be engaged at

the government goes into the building bus

future as it has during the past month or
so the chances are favorable to completion
of the structure prior to the year 1900.

Whatever may be the outcome of the
strike on the trolley lines of Brooklyn. one
interesting fact has made its appearance
as the result of the disagreement between
the companies and their employees. and that
is that while the corporations were not al
lowed by law to run their cars at rate
of speed exceeding ten miles an hour,
their schedules were so arranged that the
cars had to run at speed ranging from
fifteen to twenty miles an hour. AS a
consequence of these schedules-by which.
and not by the law. conductors and motor
men were controlled-nearly one hundred
lives have been uselessly sacrificed in the
city of Brooklyn alone, while hundreds
of persons have suffered injuries more or
less severe Such slaughter as that to
which reference has teen made could not
long continue without awakening the pub
lie to a work of reform. From the day
when the dangerous and undesirable sys-
tenn first secured privileges in Brooklyn,
there has been continuous protest but not
until recently were the prayers OF those
who protested heard by the authorities in
whom was vested power to take action.
Just now. however. there Is a good deal OF
anti-trolley activity. for the New York
State Board Of Railroad Commissioners has
taken coenizance of the situation and after
thorough investigation will do all that Is
In it's power to apply existing remedies
In addition to what IL may do, recon-
mendations will be made to the Brooklyn
common council by a special committee OF
five citizens appointed by Mayor Schieren
70 conduct a most comprehensive inquiry.
For years. the people in cities have cried
with great vehemence against the exist
ence of steam railroad crossings at grade.
yet In those same cities companies operat-
ing by the overhead-trolley system have
been permitted to run cars at steam rail-
road speed through the most crowded
thoroughfares. But the trolley seems to
have had it's day.

as to self-government and courts and coun-

but can only be acquired through absorb

admitted. even by the most strenuous adj
yocate for statehood for Indian Territory
the trouble with the five civilized tribes
has been lack of isolation; for at no time
since the last Of the three treaties was
negotiated has this government made any
eerious effort to keep Its promise to shut
out those who desired to intrude. On the
part of the Indians the main agreement
was that they should be limited in their
habitation to within the territorial boun-
daries: on the part Of the United States the
principal promise was that Its power should
be used at all times and freely to preserve
