Icebergs and Weather.

Among the unusual weather effects
of the year just ended were two crops
of icebergs in Greenland. The iceberg
crop takes no money to move it; 1t
moves itself, and by deplorable mis-
direction of energy it crosses the route
of the steamships plying between Eu-
rope and the United States. Usually
its earliest yield gets down to the New
foundland banks late in January; this
occurred last year, but a second lot
came in mid-December, to the great
disgust of ship captains and the terror
of passengers, for a collision between
a steamer and a chunk of ice half
mile thick and a mile or two long sell
dom results in victory for the ship.
Fortunately for ocean traffic, the ice
berg, like the rattlesnake, gives warm
ing of its nearness; it chills the air for
several miles around, and men on deck
are quick to take the hint and keep a
sharp lookout. Another weather sur
prise and mystery was storm in early
December that piled snow a foot deep
on the level, even in South Carolina,
while there was none in New York and
PENNSYLVANIA. These climatic aberra-
tons have not been explained, Gu: had
they been the results would have been
no less unwelcome than they were

USEFUL AFTER DEATH.
Part Played by the Carcass of Horse II.
the Commercial World.


the Commercial World.
The leg bones are very hard and
white and are used for handles of pocket
and table cutlery.
The tail and name are especially val
liable and from these are made the hair
cloth of commerce.
The ribs and head are burned to make
bone black, after they have been treat
ed for the glue that is in them.
The phosphate of lime, acted upon
by sulphuric acid and calcined with
carbon, produces phosphorus for luci-
fer matches.
The short hair taken from the hide
is used to stuff cushions and horse col
lars; thus the dead are made to minister
to the comfort of the living.
The hide furnishes a waterproof
leather known to the trade as cordoyan,
and is used for the manufacture of
high-class hunting and wading boots.
There is an animal oil yielded in the
cooking process which is deadly pois-
OIL, and enters into the composition of
many insecticides and vermifuges.
In the calcining of horses bones the
vapors arising are condensed and form
the chief source of carbonate of am
monia, which constitutes the base of
nearly all ammoniacal salts.
The hoofs of the animal are removed
and after being boiled to extract the
oil from them the horny substance is
shipped to the manufacturers of combs
and what are known as Mikado goods.
The bones to make glue are dissolved
in muriatic acid, which takes the phos-
phate of lime away, the soft element
retaining the shape of the bone is dis
solved in boiling water, cast into
squares and dried on nets.

Fats Draw OdorS.

Housekeepers who have not had an
object lesson of the way in which fat
draws odors when fish and butter getside
by side in the refrigerator need only go
to a laboratory, where pertaining ex-
tracts are made to have a commercial
illustration of the fact. The flower
fiavors from the roseries of southern
France are imported held in sleeps fat.
The fresh roses, or heliOtrope or yio-
lets. as the case may be, are laid between
layers of fat and so made into packages
for expectation. When the chemist over
here is ready TO use them, he melts their
encasement to find that the scenting
properties of the flowers are entirely
extracted by and held in the liquid
grease. His next step is to release and
clarity them by various processes of dis
tillation, but it is the power of the fat
to draw out the odors which is tire fact
that is valuable to the domestic SCI

LAUNDERING WHITE SHIRTS.
A Few Points About a Somewhat Difficult
Undertaking.


Undertaking.
To be able to launder a white shirt
properly is an accomplishment of which
any woman may be proud. If you have
had your patience tried by finding the
linen dingy and the collars and cuffs
limp when they return from the washer
woman's try the following Plan of wash
ing and ironing them. and am sure you
will be satisfied with the result. The
washing is just as important as the
ironing, for unless the linen is clear
ard white the most careful polishing
will not hide the defect. Soft water
should be used if you can obtain it.
Wash through one water, using plenty
of ivory soap to get it clean, boil
few minutes in good suds, then rinse
until every trace of soap is removed,
having little bluing in the last water.
When dry, prepare a cold starch by
dissolving two tablespoopf"!s of starch
and level teaspoonful Of boraX in 11a
cupfuls of cold water. The amount
of starch required varies little, as an
cid shirt requires more than new
one. Wet the bosom ana cuffs in hot
water, wiring dry, then dip them N
the cold starch, moving them about
until every thread of the linen is sat
urated with it. Wiring again and roll
up half an hour before ironing. This
is better than the old method of cook
ing the starch and is less work.
Iron the body and sleeves of the shirt
first. then the cuffs and last the bosom.
A board the size and shape of the shirt
bosom covered with three or four thick
nesses of flannel, then with clean
white cloth, is very convenient in this
stage of the work. Slip this inside the
shirt, stretch the bosom smoothly upon
it. and rub with a damp cloth. Then
iron until perfectly dry. The polish
is given by pressure and repeated mo-
ton with q heavy iron.-Boston Budget.

grateful to the chicks in hot weather,
and to the mother hen, which often

pose admirably, can be made with but a

The Best Feed for Hornes

The best feed for horses of what
ever class is oats, corn, bran and hay.
When horse is off his feed, or slightly
a:ling from any cause not indicative of
violent disease, bran mashes with good
nursing will bring him out all right in
ri-fe cases out of ten. Nothing is bet
ter than an occasional feed of oats, car
rots, potatoes or turnips. If a half
neck of these could be given daily as d
morning or evening meal the effect
would be quickly shown. The fcaI

CHEAT EXAMINERS.
How Girls Get Up Schemes to Pass for
Government Positions

How Girls Get Up Schemes to Pass for
Government Positions.
Examiners report that fully so per
cent. of the failures in government ex-
aminatiOns are due to inability to spell
correctly, so it is not a matter of very
great surprise to find candidates en-
deavoring to guard against possibility
of failure by the illicit use of diction-
aries. At ali examination for lady clerk
ships, one of the candidates was seen to
have constant recourse to huge SMELL
ing-bOttle which stood on her desk,
The lynX-eyed inspector, however, no.
ticed that previous TO applying it to her
nose she invariably gazed into the in
terror, apparently anxious to ascertain
its contents. Being suspicious that mat
ters were not exactly as they should be.
he expressed a desire to examine the
bottle, and promptly had his suspicious
verified, for the contents proved to be
hexagonal-shaped roller, on each side
of which was inscribed in minute char
acters large number OF words usually
misspelled. The roller communicated
with a small screw on the outside of the
bottle, the turning of which brought
the several faces of the roller successive
" into view.
AT the same examination a girl was
discovered to be in possession of a
handkerchief on which a number of
words were written. Another fruitful
cause of failure is the inability of cam
didates to reproduce the memory map
which usually forms the most important
part of an examination in geography.
Several instances have been discovered
of candidates copying from miniature
maps scratched on coins and other small
articles. Another dodge is as follows:
Upon a small piece of wood is traced the
outline of map and then at short in
(ervals in the outline sharpened pieces
of fine wire are placed (the fine ends of
needles are usually used). When this is
pressed upon paper the points, of
course, make an impression, and when
these are joined very fair representa-
ton of map is produced. Thus, hav-
ing a copy in miniature, the drawing of
an excellent map is a very easy matter.

One of the greatest troubles
connected with the giving ola
lawn party is the supplying Of
sufficient Accommodations for
the guests. The telephone
boys, if they would talk, could
tell Of Mrs. So and SO asking
Mrs. to let her have a
table or two and a few hun
dred feet of awning to use at
her lawn party.
We have something new in
the table line that will not only
do away with all this bother,
but will please those invited
and make them wonder why it
is that Mrs. So and Sos par
ties are such a success.
The LAWN TENT is a
large canvas made to fold up
as an umbrella. The base is a
round table capable of accomo-
dating from 6 to 8 people.
The tent is raised by turn
ing a crank under the table;
when desired to be out of the
way or released, spring does
the work. The price of the
Lawn Tent is $50. 90 great
reduction over former quota
tions.
Many times invalids would
enjoy the pleasure of these
lawn parties if they had some
conveyance suitablea to their
condition.
We have an excellent Port
able Folding Invalids Chair
that can be propelled by little
or no exertion by those in at
tendance, and can be adjusted
in many different positions to
relieve the occupant. For the
Unexpected Guest" it makes
a very comfortable bed.
