How Mosaic Is Made.

Landscapes, portraits and figures Of
all kinds are represented by very small
pieces of glass or stone of different col
ors. They are often SO small that more
than 1900 pieces will be put in square
inch.
Each of these has to be selected SO as
to be of the right color and put in ex-
actly the right place and cemented
there. Some of them are so fine that it
must have taken a man months to do q
single square inch.
VIn the British museum is the finest
specimen of these. 1t is less than half
an inch square and represents the sacred
hawk of the Egyptians, every feather
of the birds wing being produced with
a great number of colors and tints, each
quite distinct and so minute that q

How to Cure Colds with Soda.

There is a new specific for cold in
the head. This new remedy is baking
soda, which is the family name for BIZ
carbonate of soda.
The learned physician who has ''dis-
covered" it recommends its use in doses
of 20 to 80 grains in two or three ounces
Of water every half hour for three doses,
and the fourth dose to be taken after an
other hour.
Then the patient must wait for two
or three hours and repeat the dose if the
cold is still present. But this is not often
necessary To be promptly effective it
should be begun with the earliest indi-
cation of coryza and sneezing After the
second or third day it acts less promptly
and more frequent repetitions are need
| ed.
It is less efficacious for influenza when
lit is contagious than for common colds.
In such cases five to ten grains of phena-
cetine may be added to the 10 or 30 of
bicarbonate of sodium with hot water.
The explanation of the new treatment
is based upon the idea that there is an
acid condition of the system which ii
sufficient to irritate the terminal end
ings of the nerves in the skin and mucous
membranes and torender them suscepti
/ bic to impressions Of cold by derange
ment Of the capillary circulation. Thi
remedy seems to act by relieving the in
ternal cause of the surface irritation.

Glass Garments.

Glass seems to be the coming fabric
for dresses, and even undergarments.
In Venice an enterprising manufacturer
is turning out textile from the threads
Of spun glass Of which dresses, bonnets
and curtains are made. The woman who
adopts this novel fabric will be quite
independents of the cleaner and the
laundress, as the garments Of this ma
terial need only be cleaned with soap
and water. They are practically inde-
struetible, neither fade nor crush, and
can be had in lovely colorings and de-
signs.
There is peculiar sort of stone found
in the depths of Siberia, which. by a
patented process, is drawn into fla
ments and woven. This peculiar textile
is thrown into the fire in order TO cleanse
it-and possesses the indestructible prop
critics of asbestus.
Both of these new materials take the
most brilliant and delicate dyes and
have luster as exquisite as the finest

HUGE MUSICAL INSTRUMENT.
Harp Made In nm Open Lot-Why Il
Was Constructed.

Harp Made In nm Open Lot--Why 1t
Was Constructed.
The most gigantic harp ever con-
structed, as far as the record goes, was
that made by veritan, the provost of
Burkli, near Basel, Switzerland, in 1887,
says the St. Louis Republic. That was
a long while ago, but the-fame of NJ.
Veritan's gigantic harp was such that
it is still occasionally mentioned by
writers ON the rare and the wonderful.
just as the sea serpent, bloody rain,
live mastodon, etc, are. M. Veritan's
colossal musical instrument was 800
feet in length, and, on that account,
yves constructed in an open lot instead
of in harp factory. Itwas most sim
pie in construction, consisting of Is
wires strung tightly between two poles.
These wires were of different sizes, the
largest being one-sixth of an inch in
diameter and the smallest one-twelfth
of an incE. They were stretched north
and south and inclined in such man
ner as to form an angle of from 20 to
80 degrees with the horizon. This queer
instrument was not intended as AN ex-
aggerated toy, but was constructed for
the express purpose of foretelling
changes in the weather, which were
calculated by Prof. Veritan according
to the different tones the instrument
made when the wind was blowing
through 1t.

way, but nothing adequate to the needs
of New York has been suggested or in
anyway brought before the public until
Mrs. Dunlop Hopkins conceived the idea
of erecting series Of buildings, hand
some, spacious, comfortable and practi-
cal, adapted to the requirements of the
working women of New York.
Designs for the first four of the series,
the business woman's hotel, the art
| students home, the clubhouse and the
model tenement, are already completed.
It is calculated that at least two, if not
the entire series, will be we'll under way
early in the spring.
The architects for this scheme of
women's buildings, which is the most
elaborate in the United States, if not in
the world, are Miss Mary Cannon and
Miss Alice Hands, partners, friends and
former pupils of the New York School
of Applied Design.
THE crying need of the hour Mrs.
Hopkins said in speaking of this vast
scheme, lis the providing of a proper
home for the hostG of working women
that are filling up our cities. Not one
home or building, but many of them.
"When decided to put into operation
the plan for home or hotel for art stu
dents took all my ideas and sketches
and submitted them to the students at
the league 1t was not question of
what wanted or what Mrs. Fred Van
derbilt might think sensible or Mr..
Glider might approve. We might all
make good suggestions, but art students
are to live in the building, and want it
to be adapted to the needs and so far as
possible wishes of the women who are
to occupy it.
In the same manner consulted bus
mess women about business woman s
hotel. talked with professional women,
with lawyers, Journalists and teachers
and modelled the design of an apartment
house and hotel for them on their own
views of what was most practical and
desirable. =
The business woman's hotel will be
divided into series of small apartments
and single rooms. The single rooms
will be arranged in groups of six, with
one parlor and bath for each group.
This arrangement enables each girl to
have her private" parlor one night in
the week and to have a pleasant place
for reunion on Sundays. Smaller apart
ments of one or two bedrooms, parlor
and bath are planned for the women
with larger weekly stipend
The question of the latchkey, which
as destroyer Of working women's
"homes' has proved more disastrous
than fire or water, will not be broached
in any of the series of buildings designed
by Mrs. Hopkins Working women,
she declared, "need less, not more, re-
strictions than other women.
When asked if charity in any form
would be required to carry on these
buildings, Mrs Hopkins said: 81 do
not see why practical financial project
should seek the aid of charity. Each of
these buildings will be self supporting,
a business investment, which it is ex-
pected will realize from 6 to per cent
on all capital It is figured out that the
expense of living, say, for instance, in
the art students home, will range from
81 to So for single rooms, including
meals, but the girl paying 81 will be as
Independent from any money obligation
as any guest at the Waldorf. .

How to Serve a Dainty Supper at Home.
About Sandwiches.
After small dances, card or theater
parties there is new way Of serving
suppers at home
When the hour for refreshments ar
rives and the dining room doors are
thrown open, in place of the doubtfully
inviting cold collation. on the long side
board or at one end of the stately din
ing table the steam and glow from
couple or trio of big chatting dishes
greet the hungry guests
Over the great silver heaters, with
their double power alcohol lamps, in
the very smart houses the family chef
or caterers man brought in for the
occasion presides. From top to toe he
is arrayed like a lily, and he probably
speaks very broken English.
If couple of double chatting dishes,
which supply in all four cooking basins,
are used, two men can rapidly feed al
most any number of persons, and de-
hghtful informality reigns. All about
the cooks are bowls heaped with raw
materials for conversion into dainty
messes. Every utensil used in preparing
the supper is silver, and every guest,
selecting what plates, knives, spoons,
etc., he or she desires from piles ON
side table, goes personally for helpings
from the chatting dishes.
On the brown or white wicker plates
the bread is piled and topped by silver
wire fork, which holds card On the
card, in legible gilt letters, is written
''ham. chicken, salad or jelly sand
wiches, - as the case may be, and as the
maid passes by those who are hungry
may read and make their selections. As
long as supper is in progress these bas-
kets of bread are kept circulating
through the rooms, and the ices are
dished up in the prettiest little paste
board boxes. Inside the boxes are lined
with waxed paper, and it is fact to be
remembered that napkins seem rarely
or never used now at such suppers.

Art tickings is the name, and they
deserve it, for the really beautiful fab
RIGS into which the common bed ticking
has developed. The original material
had the two qualities of cheapness and
durability to recommend it. These have
been retained, and to them have been
added beauty and variety of pattern and
thoroughly artistic finish. The demand
for college colors in upholstery fabrics
is becoming more and more recognized,
and it is possible to get these tickings in
the colors of several of the best known
eastern colleges They come, too, in
beautiful chintz and cretonne effects and
in Persian and other oriental designs. -
