Washington, D. c., July 19.-Many
complaints are reaching the postoffice
department of losses of contents of
registered letters, which, an investiga-

quality of envelopes used.
The postal regulations have been
amended so as to overcome as far as
possible this deficiency, and postmas-

require stronger envelopes when the

Artificial silk, made mostly of wood
pulp, is being sold as natural silk in
many New York dry goods stores It
is said by an expert in silks that the
merchants selling artificial silks do not
know that the fabrics in question are
not the produce of the silkworm. The
same expert says that but for a lack
of tensile strength when wet, the wood
pulp fibre is in no way to be distin-
guished from natural silk, except per-
haps by slight superiority in lustre.
Generally speaking, the cost of produc-
ton Of the wood pulp fabric is just one
third that of natural silk
The artificial silk now on the market
is manufactured at Besancon, France,
under the Chardonet patent process,
which for the present is secret. AS in
numerous similar processes heretofore
tried, wood pulp is the main material
used in its manufacture. The pulp is
made from spruce wood by the usual
methods of maceration When it is in
condition like lukewarm gelatine it
is run off through faucets that have
openings little larger than a pin point.
The fibre issues in a fine continuous
strand and is taken up by q revolving
drum. on which it is dried. After this
it is treated in every way as if it We're
real silk that had been wound off from
cocoons In fact, the intent of the pro-
cess is to reproduce, as closely as can
be done by machinery, the methods of
the silkworm in spinning its own sleep
ing blanket. All previous experiments
calculated to make artificial silk from
wood pulp have ended with the dis
covery that fibres obtained from that
material return to pulp condition
when wet and therefore, fabrics made
from them are unwashable. Chardonet
has avoided this fault by the addition
Of substance supposed to be of the
nature Of glucose. His fibres may be
boiled in water for any length of time
without change of form or loss of lus-
ire, though they soften perceptibly and
lose, temporarily, a great deal of their
tensile strength, which, however re-
turns to them when thew are dry again.
Another fault of wood pulp silks hereto
fore has been that they were found to
be exceedingly infammable, and, in
fact, almost explosives. Chardonet
fibres burn no more rapidly than ordi-
nary wooden cloth
In the fabrics into. which wood pulp
fibres have been woven so far 40 per
cent of real silk oflow grade has been
used in combination with the artificial
silk. In mixing the two the artificial
fibres are used for filling. In weaving
silk the crosswise threads are called
the filling and the .lengthwise threa DIS
the warp. The filling therefore is cub
jected to-less strain than the WARP and
is protected by it. The resultant fabric
has theA resiliency and the body Of a
cloth-made altogether of natural silk
and is somewhat more glossy. AS far
as its wearing qualities have been test
ed the wood pulp fabric has shown no
| inferiority. It takes dyes in lukewarm
water, while natural silk must be boil
! ed in the dyeing fluid before assuming
satisfactory colors. Artificial silk has
! no greasy surface that attracts dust.

THE BOARDING HOUSE LUNCH.
How One Landlady Varies the Daily
Ration AcceptnbIy

There is an excellent lady In whose family
boards young man of domestic tastes and
unassailabfe appetite. She puts up a lunch
for him every day and he carries it with him
to his business. In so far this story does not
differ in any wise from the experience Of
thousands of other young men who board in
excellent families and carry their lunches
But this young man claims that for an in
finite variety of luncheons that custom cannot
stale his landlady has the call. Now, a
luncheon, in the parlance Of the life of him
who boards, is a sandwich, or several Of
them.
1t takes considerable art to conceal the fact
that he is eating something that he had yes
terday and expects to get again tomorrow
To vary the ration taxes the resources of the
commisary of subsistence, but it can be done
The young man in question has kept a
journal, or commonplace book, in which he
tots down, among other things what he had
to eat each day. From these items he has
made partial list of sandwiches including
those which had the following ingredients
Fig paste, fried egg, grape butter roast
goose, honey, rabbit gooseberry chicken
jelly, roast beef, lemon marmalade, wiener
wurst. sugar, ham, tongue turkey sausage
deviled ham and caviar. 1t is always a mo-
ment of suspense with him when he sits
down before his lunch for he knows not
what pleasant surprise it may have in store
preserved ginger sandwiches with the best Of
results. The daily meal has its entrees of pie,
pudding or fruit, but 1t is the composition of
the material lying between the two lids of the
sandwich that most concerns him who dig

AT GERMAN COURT BALLS.
The Late kniserin Objected to the
Waltz, but 1t Is Danced at the
Court of SfuffrRrt.

A few years ago the minuet and the ga
vote were the special dances of the Berlin
court, the kaiser himself having taken a
special fancy to them Somehow they did
not find much favorz in society and, after
all, the old-fashioned habits are ali very
well when the actors are dressed In the
clothes of the period and resemble in mode Of
thought and carriagce of body their great
grandparents. But few young people are like
their forefathers. There was some reason for
the introduction of fanciful and picturesque
dance at the grand festivals of an imperial
court, especially as very special rules pre-
vailed there. sstt
1t is we'll known that the late Kaisern
Augusta strongly objected to Waiting, and SO
does the court of B erlin. The consequence
is that a kind Of gallop was invented for
Berlin-a two-tined movement, danced to the
music Of the waltz; but not at all resembling
the old deux temps waltz.
In Mecklenburg the waltz is never danced
at all at court, the reason for this being. as
it is said that the Grand Duchess Marie does
not like dancing. Moreover, almost every
where at German courts the slow waltz was
looked down upon as bad style. Good style
depends upon the leaders of fashion, and so
the SLOW waltz has been pronounced as the
correct kind to be danced at the court Of
Stuttgart this winter. Both the queen and her
stepdaughter are very fond of Waiting. Her
majesty has ordered that the waltz is to
be danced slowly at the court balls now, as
is the custom in Vienna.

to rare old scrap of Spanish leather. In
some hints on home decoration the Puritan
has the following to say on screens:
1t should always be borne in mind that a
screen is properly a decoration, and, except
in the case where II is a door screen, which
fits tightly into its frame and stays in one
place, it should not be picture. A finished,
ambitious picture deserves good light 1t
