Hints.

Plain paste may be improved almost
to the tiaky level of puff paste if 1t is
rolled, folded and put into the refrig-
orator over night.
If the Canton flannel covering used
under the tablecloth is at times too
long for the dining table. fasten small
loops to each corner of it, and catch
them with small hooks screwed on
the under side of the table.
Grease spots can be taken from mat
ting by covering them thickly with
either fuller's clay, French chalk or
common buckwheat flour. The latter
is Just as good as any. Cover thickly
and allow it to remain a day, or per-
haps several, and then brush off and
put on more if necessary.
At the congress for the protection of
children, sitting at Bordeaux, France,
a resolution was adopted to the effect
that artificial food should be forbid

A Two-Part Dumping Wagon.

A wagon whose body is made in two
pivoted parts, adapted to be dumped
by means of a lever fulcrumed on the
wagon frame, is shown in the accom-
panying illustration, and forms the
subject of a patent issued to John ].
Theobald, Galveston, Tex. Each of
the parts is hung at or near it's mid
die on %trunnions journaled in bear
ings in the frame, and the two parts
are pivotally connected by a link so
that when one part is swung the other
part swings with it. On one side of
one of the body parts, as shown in
the small sectional view, is a pin en-
gaging a slot in an arm of a lever full
crumed in a bracket at one side of
the frame, and by the swinging of this
lever the slotted arm operating on the
pin causes the two parts of the wagon
body to swing into inclined position,
as shown in the illustration. The two
parts normally extend horizontally
and are jointed together at their ad-
jacent ends to form a single wagon
body. To lock the two parts thus in
horizontal position there are Tugs on
the lever on opposite sides of it's full
chrom adapted to engage cams on each

Gray-blue wool house-dresses with
large cape collar and cuffs of golden
brown or crimson velvet, edged with
bronze bead and spangled gimp an
inch wide, are an excellent choice for
slender women of neutral type.
Black MORE, trimmed very elabor-
ately on the bodice portion with jet
spangled chiffon, forms a very elegant
and very popular gown for receptions,
dinners and afternoon teas. Many
women who have tired Of black satin
have taken again to skirts of plain
and Powered black mohair, wearing
them with fancy bodices of very ele-
CANT description.
Among the waists for dressy after
noon wear with black or dark skirts
are those of chine, t~atfeta. or faille
silk with dark grounds well covered
with shadowy pompadour figures.
Useful, yet very rich looking, day
waists are also made of dark green or
plain colored silk, with blurred carna-
lions or roses scattered over the sur
face. These waists have, as a rule,
no trimming excepting very handsome
gold and cut steel buttons of large
size. Other more elaborate waists
have cosby lace collars or yokes held
down on the front by rhinestone OF
jeweled buttons.

Teiegraphs in Japan.

American engineers who are now
seeking to develop trade with Japan
will do well to remember that it is
useless to put before their Japanese
customers anything but the best they
have. The keenness and %cleverness of
this people are shown in the history of
the Geographic system of Japan, and
the simultaneous growth of technical
knowledge of the various branches
connected with the production of the
necessary materials for its construc-
ton. Twelve years ago a general
scheme was prepared embracing ev-
cry city and town of importance and
affording every project and sub-pre-
feet the means of communicating with
the central government at the capital.
This scheme was so carried out that
it paid it's way, even after the first
year, and nov they have S,430 miles
of line and between 600 and 700 tele-
graph setations and offices. Not n
mile Of this telegraphic network ex-
listed a quarter of a century g and
at the outset every ton of the material
required had to be imported from Eu-
rope. Now nearly the whole of 1t is
manufactured in Japan, and the Jap
anese workshops and factories are
able to supply such appliances to their
neighbors, and the country possesses
a Geographic system which, for per-
lection of organization. dispatch and
reliability, combined with a low tariff,
is nowhere eXcelled on the globe.

An Unreasonab1e Reudest,

A gentleman was hulrying down the
street in a biting frost. His top coat
was buttoned right up to his ears, and
the very thought of unbuttoning 1t
made him shudder. Still, he would
like to know how late it was, but as
for consulting. his watch that nestled
in his waistcoat pocket-ugh! Just
then another gentleman came into
view. The two gradually approached
each other, and the first gentleman,
who wanted to know how late it was,
haZarded the question:
'Sir, do you happen to know what
time it ISL"
The stranger stood still, pulled off
his right glove, unbuttoned his over
coat from chin to waist and drew out
his watch IS the piercing wind played
about his unprotected chest. He held
it up to the dim light of the street
lamp. carefully examined the dial plate
and said:
Yes, l know" With these words
he replaced his watch and made tracks
without satisfying, the curiosity of his

Staining Wood Black.

A process that is much employed for
the above purpose consists in painting
the wood co~nsecutively. with copper
sulphate solution q per cent? and al
coholic aniline acetate equal parts of
alcohol and actetate). A very durable
black, and tie nearest approach to eb-
ony, is readily obtained by m%oistening
The S rfaCe of the wood with dilute
sulphuric acid 0.20). and subsequent
ly applying heat. A temperature of
60 deg.-90 deg. C. suffices in a very
few minutes to produce the desired re-
result. An excellent black was OBJ
tanned this way on beech, bass and
lockwood; while a second treatment
with acid was necessary in the case Of
cherry. walnut and birch. With oak
and al. the results were not so good;
and apple and different varieties of
pine were still less amenable to the
process, pine, especially being I'M
evenly stained. In order to afterward
remove the acid from the wood, it
might be well to thoroughly wash the
latter with dilute soda solution, fol-
lowed by clean water. 1t is unlikely
that this method can be applied to
any but small articles, because of
the risk of possible fractures during
'ho necessary heating of the wood.

BILE for both thin skins and heavy
hides, and to require only from three

so that the current has to pass right
through them. Light cow hides Were
found to require seventy-tWO hours,
heavy cow hides five days and heavy
OK hides six days. The latter would
require about a year by the old pro
cess. The color of the leather is not
altogether good when commercial un-
purified extract Is used. Herr Fol
sing lays stress on this, and he him
self uses an oak extract with a little
hemlock extract added, which is
cleared and decolorized by special cleo,
trolyic process. When this is used the
color is exceedingly good and bright.

The birth of the little Grand Ouch

The birth of the little Grand Ouch
ess Olga Of Russia raises a rather Gu
rious point as to her precedence. Ac-
cording to the law of 1897, the daugh-
ter of a z may inherit his crown if
she has no brother. 1t so happens,
however, that since the accession of
the house of Romanoff no first-born
child Of the reigning house has been a
daughter, so that there is no actual
precedent. A further difficulty is ere
ated by the fact that Nicholas H..
when he succeeded bis father last
ear. issued a ukase, whereby he set
tied on his brother George the title of
tsesar evitch, until a SON should be
born of his marriage with Princess
