HOW GOLD LACE THREAD is MADE.

A SILK Underthread and Only . Thin Gold
Coating.
The thread Of which gold lace Is made
consists of a deep yellow or orange col
ored silk, gilded in such a n that
it retains sufficient fiexibility to under
go the operation of weaving. This is
effected by a process called "fbcr plat
ing" carried out in the following man
ner: A rod of silver is gilded by simply
pressing and furnishing leaves of gold
upon IL. This gilded silver is then
drawn through a series Of holes of de-
creasing diameter into a wire no fine
that one ounce Is extended the length
Of 1, 500 yards. 1t is then flatteied be-
tween polished steel rollers and further
extended, SO that a mile and q quarter
weighs but one ounce. For this last
drawing the wire is passed through
ruby dies. The film Of gold upon the
tlattened wire is much thinner than
beaten gold leaf and has frequently been
quoted us an example Of the divisibility
of matter, one inch of the wire contain
ing but the eighty-millionth part Of an
ounce of gold, while n ounce Of gold
covers more than 100 miles of wire.
This flattened gilded wire is then wound
over the silk so as to inclose it COM
pletely and produce an apparently gold
en- thread. II Is estimated that $50. 900
ounces of gold thread are annually made
in Grant BRITAIN.

Peanut Flour.

A well known DOCTOR who has expert
mented with a number of diabetic 1ours
in order to find suitable nourishment for
diabetic patients, is satisfied in his own
mind that peanuts prepared in the proper
way furnish one of the most perfect hours
for such patients. His method of prepar-
ing the flour is to put the peanut kernels
with the inner coatings into tin kettle
with perforated bottom. This kettle is
uncovered, is fitted on or into pan filled
with boiling water, and the nuts are boiled
for half hour This is done for the pur-
pose of partially drawing out superiluous
oil. The kernels are then thoroughly dried,
and with a rolling pin pounded into fine
particles. To prevent waste and scatter
ing, it would be well to put the nuts into
a linen bag until they are broken. The
next thing to do is to put the bruised ker-
nels in boiling water containing little
vinegar. When thoroughly boiled, the ker
nels are subjected to dry heat, but they
must neither be Drowned nor roasted.
When dry, powder with the rolling pin,
and you will have flour to be used in
porridge with little milk added, in bis
cults and in German pancakes.-New York

Rather POlygamous.

Frederick william II of Prussia was
first married, in 1895, during the lifetime
of his uncle, Frederick the Great, to Prin-
cess Elizabeth of Brunswick. From her
(see Carlyle's "Life of Frederick the
Great" volume 8, page 379) on account of
her infldelities, though certainly not greater
than his own, he was divorced in 1869.
She survived the divorce II years, not dy-
ing till 1910.
The divorce twas DONE" Carlyle tells
us, Sin beautiful private manner; case
tried with strictly closed doors; all the
five judges under oath to carry into the
grave whatever they came to know about
it." Within three months Of this divorce
Frederick William married Princess Fred
erica Louisa of Hesse Darmstadt, who con-
tinued to be his wife till the end, CHS
Lichtenau and his second wife, jewel of
women" says Carlyle, nursing him in
his last sickness" Carlyle says nothing
about a marriage with another wife dur
ing the lifetime of the second.-Notes and

Women know the influence of beauty
on men; men rarely admire a beautiful
invalid, but they do admire woman in
whom is blended good features and per-
feet health.
There is no secret about woman's
beauty; it all lies in the care she devotes
to herself, to removing from her system
all poisonous impurities, and keeping at
bay those fearful female diseases.
The flashing eye, elastic step, and bril-
liant complexion are never companions
of a womb trouble; only the distressed
expression and aches, pains, blues, faint
ness, dizziness, bearing-down feeling,
etc, keep it company.
Lydia e. PinkhGnt's Vegetable Com
pound removes female troubles promptly,
and cleanses, invigorates, and conse-
quently beauties, the form of woman.
Women, the world over, pay homage to
it, and praise its discoverer. Your drug
gist sells more of it than all other female
medicines.

Chance.

Mathematicians have for century striv-
en- to make law governing chances, but
such illustrations as the following beat
them:
The writer was once present at the fol-
lowing trial: A gentleman picked up a
lottery list containing the winning num-
bers, some 5000 out of 100 600. He in
vited two others to put up SO each, write
a number and if it came on the list it
would take the $50. One man wrote these
three successive combinations, 1927, 1881
and IS, 41S. Each of these groups were
found on the list, so he won 800. He put
it all into 81 tickets and drew all blanks.
Certainly no human presoienoe nor sagao-
ity could order these things or change
them.-Philadelphia Times.

TRAINING CARRIER PIGEONS.
How They Are Taught to Act as Reliable
Message Bearers.


De Witt @. Lockwood writes an account
of the Carrier Pigeons of Santa Cata-
lima, describing the rapid mail service cs-
tablished between two places, in st. Mich
olas. He says:
1t must be understood, however, that in
certain pigeons, especially those known as
the Belgian variety the homing instinct
is developed in remarkable degree, and
it is the birds intense love of home and
the almost unvarying certainty of their re-
turn thither after having been taken some
distance away and then released which
make them valuable as carriers.
The methods used in training q pigeon
for special service are not by any means
similar, as many persons seem to think,
to those employed in teaching dog to run
after a stick, or wlaIe spotted pony to
dance the polka. A carriers education
consists in conveying him away from
home and letting him go, when he simply
flies back to the loft where he belongs.
This sounds almost as thrilling as the
story Of the enterprising mouse that first
ran up the clock and then ran down again,
and of course it conveys no idea of the i'm
mense amount of care and patience in
volved in the rearing and breeding of the
birds-the special cultivation Of those
qualities which produce the best results,
and SO on.
In training the birds for Catalina three
or four were usually placed together in a
pasteboard box, perforated with holes
about the size Of quarter of dollar.
They were carried to a spot milo or so
from the loft, in direct line for the coast
and Catalina, and released. A few days
later the same birds were taken a greater
distance away-say three or four miles
from homeland liberated. In this man.
ner the several succeeding journeys were
gradually heightened until San Pedro, the
seaport of Los Angeles, 20 miles distant,
was reached.
Then the pigeons were taken aboard the
steamer and set at liberty q few miles out
at sea, increasing the distance upon the
four occasions that followed, until at last
the end of the route was reached and the
birds would fly, without fail across the
sea and over the land to their home.

Chew LANGE'S PLUGS. The Gre;

tainly is true that most healthful food,
hurriedly eaten and Immediately followed
by work which engages the entire availa-
BILE physical and mental forces, is much
worse than a meal of poor food, or what is
usually termed indigestible food, which is
eaten leisurely and followed by an interval
of rest While the quality and quantity
of foods have much to do with health, the
manner of eating has quite as much, if not
more to do with keeping up the tone of
the system to a natural, healthful point.
All meals, but especially dinner, should
be followed by a short rest. A short rest
will keep the tone of the body better dur
ing the day, and it is always best to be on
the safe side. After supper there should
be not work, but recreation.-Hall's Jour
