sarge after the old Kearsarge's famous an
tagonist, the Alabama. seems to be meet

FINEST THREAD EVER MADE.
Minute Eiber Drawn From Eock Crystal
and Stronger Than Steel Wire.

Minute Fiber Drawn From Rock Crystal
and Stronger Than Steel Wire.
If one were asked to make a thread finer
than that spun by the spider and at the
same time far stronger than steel wire of
the same size, he would not be likely to
choose quartz or rock crystal as the mate
rial. Yet writer in Popular Science
News tells that from this substance the.
finest fbcrs ever known have been made
The discovery of using this material was
made few years ago by Professor c. V.
Boys of England. He was looking for a
fiber sufficiently strong to replace silk
which has many defects--ip suslending
the magnetic needles of sensitive galva
nometers and other delicate Instruments
He first tried glass which may be spun
into fine, flexible thread, as those know
who saw the beautiful glass dress made at
the Chicago exposition for the Princess
EuIaiia of Spain. This material failed to
give satisfaction, and it occurred to him
that quartz might answer the purpose. He
made fibers of this substance, and found
them perfect in every respect. Tho way in
which they are made is very simple. A
quartz crystal Is held by a pair of forceps
in the flame of a very powerful blowpipe
until it is soitened. Another crystal is tied
to the shank of an arrow, which is placed
in bow and drawn back until the two
crystals touch in the flame. Whom they be-
come thoroughly fused together, the arrow
is released and is shot into q wooden board
some distance away, drawing out the soft
quartz in fine and perfectly uniform
thread. BY regulating the heat and the
length of tho flight of tho arrow any de-
sired size of fiber NAV be obtained They
have been drawn so fine as to be invisible
ondcr the most powerful microscope, al
though certain optical effects showed their
presence. The diameter of the smallest
tibcrs has been estimated at about one
millionth of an inch. A fine grain of sand
would make more than 1000 miles of such
thread. They arc quite flexible and near
ly twice as strong as steel. One that is
scarcely visible will easily support the
weight of a tenpenny nail.

THE LATEST SCIENTIFIC kMDWl-
EDGE ON FOOD AND DIGESTION.

The real cause OF most OF our diseases is
simply an inability to digest food. This in
duces thinness, weakness, loss OF flesh and
fat, loss Of vitality. wasting away.
Loss Of flesh and vitality means constant
liability to sickness. Wasting away is con-
sumption.
Ifgetting thin is what ails you, there is
only Que thing to do-get fat. The only way
to do it is to take something which will help
your stomach and stimulate II to do its work
II you are tired out you do not like to move
your legs or arms. If your stomach is tired
1t does not like to digest; it cannot do it's
work.
TO eat or even to eat with relish does not
necessarily mean that one is being nourished.
Strength, vitality and flesh are the true indi-
cations.
Getting thin is sign that you need the
Shaker Digestiver Cordial. You would not be
getting thin if you could digest your food.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial not only con-
tains artifcially digestei food, but it will
digest other foods in the stomach.
A single 10 cent bottle will show whether or
not it is going to meet the conditions Of your
case, aud if so, its continued use may be de-
pended on to effect cure. All druggists keep

Some Hint. for the Kitchen,

Tins in the kinchen feels the magic
of mineral oil, and where long scour-
ing was necessary to keep them bright
and shining in the past, to-day the up
to-date cook dips her flannel cloth in
kerosene, then into powdered lime or
common whiting and with these scours
her tins into likeness of the kerosene
cleaned mirrors and all with only half
the labor. Of course they want q
thorough rinsing in hot suds after
wards to free them of all odor, but the
real toll OF securing is what she breads
and not the quick and easy rinsing.
II she has an oilcloth on her floor,
she adds a gill of kerosene to her
securing water, dips mop in the pail,
passes it quickly over the painted
surface, dries it with flame! cloth,
and with this slight effort leaves it
bright and polished almost as new,
and an oilcloth treated in this manner
will outlast one scrubbed in the old
way twice over. Many a housekeeper's
heart has gone nigh to breaking in
despair over painted floors and bal.
comics which showed every foot mark
and were only made diugy and dismal
by all efforts to wash them out. A
flannel cloth wrung out in cold water
and we'll sprinkled with kerosene
makes n painted floor almost as easy
to keep clean as one of the costly hard
woods, and the odor Of the cleansing
will pass completely away in half an
hour. On balconies, indeed, or where
the windows of the room are left open
during the process the smell evaporates
so quickly as not to be noticed at all.
Very few housekeepers know, and
thousands do not know that by wrap
ping glass fruit jars in " towel wrung
from water when canning, the fruit
can be put in without any more dan
ger than filling an earthen jar. 1t is
not necessary to wiring each time, just
so the towel is kept damp. This does
away with the old and unhandy way
of heating on the stove, or with hot
water, and is by far the quickest and
safest way. The towel can be re-
moved as soon as the jar is filled.
Jelly tumblers should be treated same
way. This plan has worked success
fully with me for fourteen years. II
people would seal each can of fruit
