Linen RIeachiur.

The bleaching of linen is said to be now
accomplished in France largely by the use
of water glass. Recently 1t was stated to
the Paris Academy of Sciences that, in or
der to insure the complete bleaching of the
fabric, it is customary to increase the
causticity of the I've and to prolong the
time of boiling, with the result that the
material is injured, though its color is i'm
proved. Experts declare that the produc-
ton of yeilowish or brownish patches on
the linen, usually attributed to impurities
in the chemicals used, is due chiefly to the
presence in water Of calcium and rnagnesi-
UNI salts, which are precipitated on the
fabric and act as mordants, fixing the vel
lowish color Of the I've. But this injurious
effect can be prevented by adding to the
water mixture of sodium carbonate and
soluble glass, the result being to precipi-
tate calcium and magnesium silicates in a
focculent form which settles rapidly, does
not adhere to the fabric and becomes gran
ular and pulyerulent on boiling. Thus
purified, only very small quantity of
caustic alkali is necessary for the treat
ment

BABE FAREWELL.
Maj. and Mrs. Marshal of the Salvation
Army Ordered to the Northwest.

Last night at the Salvation Army bar
racks On Federal street, Major and Mrs.
Stephen Marshal bade farewell to the
officers and soldiers of tho local corps.
They leave on Tuesday for Montreal and
thence for Chicago where they will be as
signed to command in the Northwest.
They have been in command of the Dis
tricts of Maine and New Hampshire for
IA months, holding the same jurisaict-
ion in these two states that bishop ex
ercises over his diocese.
During tbs time Major and Mrs. Mar
shal have hell this command they have
greatly strengthened the army in this
district. The Portland corps has grown
twice as large an auxiliary aid society
formed among the prominent citizens of
the city and the financial standing of
the local corps greatly improved. Their
removal from the command of this dis
trfct has been in accordance with a gen.
eFal order which changed the soldiers
of all the New England officers OF the
army.
The exercises last night consisted of a
farewell tea, at which rs Salvation
Army soldiers wers seated, followed by
grand parade and addresses by oil
the prominent officers present. A half
night OF prayer wound up Maj. and
Mrs. Marshal's connection with the
Maine and New Hampshire district.

IN A "BurLA-cARTA.D
The Peculiar Vehicle In Use In the island
Of Madeira

The master at arms went out into the
plaza and hired bulla car4a. A buiia
carta is In reality covered sled provided
with curtains and drawn by two oxen.
For the proper management of these We
hicles, according to Portuguese ideas, two
men are necessary. One goes ahead, in
order to check any ambitious intentions
on the part of the oxen, and apparently
does the guiding. The duties of the other
are harder to define. He receives the fare
Incidentally and urges on the oxen in
those plaintive, vyailing tones which he
who has been to Madeira can never forget
and which incline him to believe that the
Portuguese language is one of laInenta-
ton. AS MIR. Keegan tersely remarked,
everything is ION skates in Madeira. The
streets Of Funohel are paved with small
lava blocks set on end and polished to q
degree that makes walking dangerous to
people who wear the shoes of civilization;
hence the owners of the bulia cartas do
thriving business with foreigners, especial
~ up the slope, where q false step is
fraught with no incongiderable conse-
quences.
1t was up the hillside, or rather up the
first slopes of the mountain, that the villa
to which the master at arms was going
was situated. Few visit Madeira who do
not take that delightful ride up the noun
tain on horseback and experience the de-
lirium of the coast down, over the polished
stones, in wicker sled Ascending, the
traveller looks from his saddle over the
high, yellow walls on each hand into in
wiling gardens of tropical luxuriance,
their shade trees often completely arching
the way over his head. But the master at
arms cared nothing about looking into the
gardens and had sailorFs prejudice
against horses He discreetly preferred the
bulla carta. Even the picturesque process
sion of wine growers which he met COM
ing down the mountain, with skins slung
over their shoulders, made no more of an
impression on him than If they had been a
draft of new hands He sat back behind
the curtains Of his bulla carta and smoked
brown paper cigarettes and meditated on
the gravity Of his mission, and he won
dered whether the senhora would look
with favor on the plan Only once, when
he had to turn out for fat ecclesiastic
from the convent above, was he aroused
from these reflections. The priest was de-
scending at a pace which would have de-
fed q trolley car, but he sat in his sled
with as much equanimity as If he were
pronouncing benediction, his guide deft-
ly balanced on the runners behind.-sM Mr.

the mechanical influence which very
long runs sometimes have on actors and
actresses in the repetition night after
night of their roles. Here are two anus
ing examples of the kind When Miss
Fannie CoIsm an WAS exciting Londoners
to mirth by her excellent comedy acting
as the Duchess of Berwick in Lady
WindarmeTe's Fan, - she one night added
unwittngly to the hunor of her per-
formanoe by the following tran sposition
of words. In the first act the duchess,
who is about to confide to Lady Winder-
mere's married son a piece of scandal in
which her daughter is too young to par
ticipate, ought to say. Agatha, dar-
ling, go and sit on the balcony and look
at the sunset; the dear child is so fond
of sunsetsl'' Whereas Miss Coleman,
with unctuous gravity rolled out the
words, Agatha, darling, go and sit on
the sunset and look at the balcony. The
dear child is SO fond OPP Of what,

sterling integrity and eminent ability en-
dearsd him to us, and made our inter
pleasure and profit to each of US as an
individual, and 30 cur board as an insti-
