Gay Widows.
your fOW

Accustomed as are English people to
gay widows and to a speedy abandon
ment of all those tokens of woe and be-
de rigueur for a woman who had lost her
husband, they have been startled out OF
their equanimity by the intense friski-
ness of the Grown Princess Stephanie of
Austria, who has been spending the sea-
son in London and who has enjoyed her
self so much there that she has actually
leased Lord DOrchester's house on the
Isle of Wight for the Cowes week, which
she proposes to attend. She has been
everywhere, seen everything and has
firted outrageOusly with the Prince OF
Wales, running down with him to New
market to attend the races there, where
she bet heavily, and subsequently max
ing something very much akin to fool
of him by inducing him to appear at the
state ball at Buckingham palace in full
Highland costume, kilt, bare knees and
tout lie tremblement This is the first
time that [ can remember the prince
having appeared in such a guise at one
of these functions, the use of the kilt by
British royalty being restricted to north
of the Tweed. 1t is a costume in which
Albert Edward does not look well, since
he is far too portly, too stunted and too
shOrt-legged to set off this costume, which
requires a stalwart figure, to advantage.
However, the crown princess, | hear,
greatly complimented him on his getup,
and he is reported to have looked quite
namely happy.-Marquise de Fontenoy

WEALTH IN IRISH PEAT BOGS.
German Processes for Turning it fnt'
Clothing and Ma chine Bearings.

German Processes for Turning it into
Clothing and Machine Bearings.
According to recent discoveries of Ger
man investigators, Ireland possesses in
her peat boys a remuneratiye and eX-
tensive field for the employment of CAPT
tai and labor. These Germans have
formed a syndicate and are at present
exhibiting in London new products of
peat which range from antiseptic wool
for dressing wounds to bearings ana
journals for machinery.
The labor of the chemist and mechani-
clan is needed to effect the TRANSFORMED
ton Of peat. The first process which
dried is that of being thoroughly leased
or ''devilled' by machinery, when it
presents the appearance of an exceed
ingly coarse brown fiber. After further
teasings and cardings it changes to
delicate creamy, chocolate fiber, which
can be spun into yarn or woven into
wooden goods. The fiber for the finer
purposes is mixed with 10 per cent. of
ordinary wool, but in most of the ma
terials only the pure peat fiber is used.
The fiber can be bleached to a snowy
whiteness and dyed any color. 1t can
be produced for one-third the cost of
shoddy, it is claimed, and in the finer
makes the appearance is equal to tweed
Several members of the royal family,
including the Duchess of York. have
purchased dresses of it.
The wool is proving a great aid to
the surgeon, as we'll as to the weaver,
as it is an antiseptic and possesses alb
sorbent qualities SO great that it will
soak up nine times its own weight of
moisture. The French government has
adopted it for use in the army, and H.
600 kilogrammes of it was sent out 10
Madagascar for use during the expedi-
ton to that island.
By another process the light spongy
peat is made as hard as ebony and
capable of taking a high polish. 1t is
chemically treated and then subjected
to great pressure, forming a material
from which any article requiring hard
ness or durability can be produced.
Made from it in the exhibition are axle
boxes, insulators, machinery bearings,
gun stocks, table and pianoforte legs.
and numerous other articles that reveal
its possibilities. The value of peat fiber
as a non-conductor of heat has been long
known in this country, where it is used
in the lining of refrigerators and cold
storage rooms, and also as a covering
for steam pipes. The processes of the
Germans are entirely new.-New York

A Ring Found at Bull Run.

statements that Man is more beautiful

SCARLET FEVER SETTLED IN The BACK
AN OPERATION WAS UNSUC-
CESSFULLY PERFORMED.
The Patient was Finally Restored, After
Eighteen Years.


From the Evening News, Newark, n. ].
About eighteen years ago, when Mrs An
ME Dale, of So Bruce street, was a bright,
merry school girl, she was taken i'll with
scarlet fever She recovered, but she was
very different girl from physical stand
point. She was cured of the scarlet fever,
but it left her with an affection of the back.
AS she grew older the pain seemed to in
crease. Her sufferings were intensified by
her household duties but she never COM
planned, and with one hand pressed tightly
to her back she did her work about her
coy home;
with scarlet fever, and have now suffered
with my back for eighteen years.
Might and day l suffered. 1t really
seemed as if Imustsuccumb to the pain, and
then, to make matters worse, my head ached
so badly that | could scarcely see at times.
Finally l went to st. Michels hospital, at the
corner of High street and Central avenue
and there the surgeons performed difficult
operation on my back, but it did no good; 1t
was like everything else. was told at the
hospital to return for another operation, but
the first had lett ME so weak | could not go
