EVEN SILK is AouLrgRArEp.
ITannate Of Tin and silica TO Give

Il
ITannate OF Tin and silica to Give
1t Weight.
Some improvements in the treatment
of silks are announced. Ordinarily silk
is weighted" by depositing tannate Of
tin on the fiber; the material receives
bath of tannic acid and then another
CT perchloride of tin, a repetition of
this being made until an increase of
the weight amounts to from Is 10 20
per cent, beyond which it is not con-
,sidered safe to go in the case of silk
intended to be dyed light shades or to
be bleached. Recently a German invent
Or has brought forward process in
which silica is the weighting agent.
In carrying out this method, says the
Detroit News-Tribune, three steps are
described. First, the silk, raw or in
any stage of manufacture, and either
before or after dyeing, is worked for
an hour in bath of perchloride of
tin; then, after squeezing. and wash
ing, it is worked in O warm solution of
water glass or soluble silicate of soda
for about an hour, followed by Wishing,
having also been previously passed
through solution of phosphate of soda.
The operation may be repeated again
and again, with no harmful effect on
the fiber or on the subsequent dyeing,
and in five operations the silk may be
increased in weight some 100 to 100
per cent. The silk is now soaped, end,
If already dyed, is cleared in an emul-
sion of olive oil and acid.

HARD SKULL SAVES HIM.
Mexican Receives volley of Bullets In
the Head and Lives.

NhSAAShh hcCciNcs u NOlicy OF bullets
the Head and Lives.
a Mexican was condemned to death
for stealing can of kerosene, remarks
the Buffalo Express. lie was taken out
by party of soldiers, received volley
OF bullets at close range, and was left
for dead. AS soon as the soldiers had
gone he sprang to his feet and walked
to the City of Mexico, many miles away,
where he entered hospital. The doc
tors found three rifle bullets imbedded
in his skull, but he was not fatally in
jured. Now the authorities of the town
which ordered him executed want him
back in order to shoot him again.
But he objects. He argues that if sub
jected to the discomfort of execution O
second time his health might be greatly
endangered. There is logic in that.
The mans plea ought to hold good.
1t is serious menace to mans health
to be taken out and shot, and the fell
low who survives the experience once
should be spared q second exposure,
in order that he may come to the states
and go the rounds of the museums as
the man with the iron skull.

DANGEROUS FIRE RISKS.
insurance Companies Ask High Rates for
Some of Them.

INSURANCE companies ASK hlgn Rates IOr
Some of Them.
The marine store business is risk
which most companies prefer TO avoid.
A dealer may have stuff on Lis premises,
consisting of rags, old dresses, and the
like, which is probably worth several
thousands, yet the insurance companies
will refuse to insure the stock at any
price. In the case of an ordinary house
holder, most of these articles would be
insured without demur as household
goods.
Lumber yards and sawmills are not
regarded by insurance companies with
very favorable eye. The stock of a
lumber yard was once insured at a
moderate premium, but when a small
sawnill was built on one portion of the
premises, ZIP went Insurance company
rates. Owing to the addition of the mill,
where the premiumSbefore was some
thing like $25, about $500 was required,
and this favor was onlySto be granted
on the strict condition that no timber
was to be stored within IL feet of the
mill.

Both Candidates May be from Ohio.


"Ex- Governor James E. Campbell, of
Ohio" said prominent politician at
the Imperial Hotel yesterday, sis well
worth watching just now. see that
he has written letter to deny an al
legged interview with him, sent out
from Cincinnati, in which he was made
to declare for Whitney and Matthews
as a Presidential ticket. Now" con-
tinued the speaker, "Mr. Campbell has
got the bee himself, and think he is
going to be formidable candidate at
the Chicago convention. The fact is
Campbell has been in Washington, and
he has practically promise of the sup
port of the Ohio delegation at Chicago,
and some efficient work outside will be
done for him. Among those who at
tended a meeting in Washington, at
which it was decided to have Ohio sup
port him, were Senator Calvin S. Brice,
Congressman Paul Sorg and nearly all
of the Ohio Democratic leaders They
argued that Mckinley would probably
be the nominee of the Republican par
ty, and to offset it Campbell should be
put up by the Democrats" Mr.. Camp
bell is expected here within a few
days, and he may talk to the Gotham
leaders bout his boom N. Y. Trib.

McKlnley's Campaign.

ON THE FIRST OR SECOND BALLOT.
From the St. Louis Giobe-Democrat
The present indications are that Nc
Kinley will either be nominated d on the
first ballot, or will come SO near it that
there will be a stampede toward him
on the second ballot which will sweep
the Convention.
AHEAD OF ALL COMPETITORS.
From The Newark Advertiser.
Mr.. Mckinley has made remarkable
canvass for the Presidential nomina-
ton. He has steadily added to his
strength, and is today ahead of all
other candidates
HE MAY GET MINNESOTA.
From The st. Paul Pioneer Press.
There has been no opposition to AL
lison in Iowa, and yet the delegation
which is solid for him as first choice
is equally solid for Mckinley as q sec.
ond choice. Why should not the same
state of things prevail,i in Minnesota?
EVEN IN STATES WITH FAgoRITE SONS.
From The Cleveland World
1t is becoming an everyday and
almost commonplace affair for Mr.. Nc
Kinley to pick mp delegates in the very
dooryards of fayorite sons in all parts
of the country
THE LOGICAL CANDIDATE.
From The Cincinnati Com. Gaz.
In 1899 the people thought they
wanted free trade In 1898 they knew
they wanted protection. And SO they
naturally turned to Mckinley as the
logical leader of the protection idea.
He was and is. He stands as its fore
most champion.
THE WEST AND SOUTH SUPPORT HIM.
From The New York World.
William Mckinley will be the Repub-
lican candidate for President.
Whether his nomination will be
made by acclamation or on the first,
second or after many ballots. cannot
be foretold, as the National Convention
does not meet at st. Louis for three
months and two days. But Mckinley
is already the chosen candidate of the
West and South. That combination
has never been beaten in National
Convention. He will have practically
the solid delegations from Ohio, Indi-
ana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and Wis
consin,. and nine-tenths of all the
Southern delegates.

Nothing is truer than that God loves
herioc soul.
The able bodied man who will no:
work deserves to starve. ...
No man can truly say that he has al
ways done his level best.
The habit of eXaggeration grows
upon those who indulge in it.
The great majority of lies result from
mortal weakness and cowardice.
PRAYER is one Of the mightest and
most uplifting forces in the universe.
1t is not right to be generous with
your friends at the expense of your
creitors.
You may deceive the world, and
even yourself, but you cannot deceive
God.
Selfconceit often leads men to put
themselves into very Illuminating po-
sitions.
The reproaches of enemies should
quicken us TO duty, and not Keep US
from it.
In order to have the divine presence
we must be loyal to God and his
Church.

Gods love is like ours, in that 1t
asks for "recompense in the same )"
that il, love for love; proof for proof !;
declaration for declaration ; confession
for confession. Our hearts are not
right with him unless the recompense
is given.
Rededication aud prayer are the in
dispensable background to any Chris
tian work worth the doing. And with
out them Christian living fails of ac-
curing that depth without which
Christian doing is sure to be superficial
and ineffective.
We love to have persons interested
in US, and to know that they do not
forget US when absent from US. With
what Joy must the Psalmist have aung
and does the sure believer sing, ~ am
poor and needy yet the Lord thinketh
upon me-"
Instead of looking at the many poor
representatives of Christianity in the
Church, let US look at the life of Christ
and see what Christianity Is.
No Church that is not in sympathy
with the evangelization of the world,
can expect Christ to be with it and
crown its efforts with success.
Many times we are under the divine
influence when we are not tconscious OF
it. No man speaks good word or
performs good deed without being
Influenced by the spirit.
If you wish to be sincerely happy
for one day, try to forget your own
woes and to be a blessing to everybody
that you meet. 49,.
