How China Silks Are Made.

The well-known beauty of the China
silks, now produced in such large guam
titles in Zurich, is said to be due to a
peculiar process Of preparing and
printing the fabric there pursued.
Briefly, after the usual preliminary
treatment, the warp is stretched tight
ly on table about twenty yards long
and covered with cloth, then printed
by means of blocks, for which the COL
ors are supplied from receptacles that
slide in grooves along the entire length
Of the table. When the whole Of the
piece has been printed it is subjected
to the action of superheated steam for
about three-quarters of an hour, which
fixes the color; this warp is now pack
ed in sack and worked backward in
water by two men, to wash out the
thickening used in the printing colors
The sack and it's contents are at this
stage wrung centrifugally; the warp
taken out of the sack and hung up to
dry, and finally brushed in order to
close up the threads. The discharge
printing Of figured silk with dark
eyed background has the unique adj
vantage, as compared with the appli-
cation of the background by means OF
printing, that TIE pattern is cleare-

Long Guns.

The six-inch rifles Of our new cruiser
the New Orleans, are Interesting on ac-
count of their great proportional
length. The guns are of what is call
ed 50-caliber. l. e., the length OF the
gun is so times the diameter Of the
bore, or caliber. The gun is therefore
Is feet long. Until within few years
35-caliber guns were the largest made,
but recently, In France, length of no
less than 80 calibers has been en-
ployed. The advantage of This increase
of length is that corresponding in
crease of velocity can be impaired to
the projectile, because it Is subjected
for longer time to the expansive
force of the gases generated by firing
the powder. A projectile from a six
inch gun Of 30-caliber penetrates four
teen inches of iron at the muzzle, while
the same projectile from a gun of So
caliber penetrates 81 inches of iron.
With the highest elevation practicable
on shipboard, the six-inch rifles OF the

Exercisa of tha wAIst.

Exercise Of the Waist. G
Between the pelvis and ribs. the on
ly bones are those Of the spine; five
bones, having great freedom Of motion.
The waist depends for It's strength and
vigor upon the broad muscles which
make up the wallis Of the trunk at this
place; hence the need Of that condition
Of those muscles which only exercise
will produce. 4
Here comes in one of the great evils
OF any device in dress which by any
degree Of rigidity gives support to the
body. To the extent of the support
given the muscles are relieved of their
proper functions; they accommodate
themselves to the demand made upon
them. The less the demand the weak
er DO they become. The tight or bon
ed waist becomes splint. A splinted
muscle loses power. Strong abdomin-
al muscles are great essential to easy
and safe delivery of children, since the
abdominal muscles are the secondary
force in childbirth. Weak and use
less abdominal muscles have prolong-
ed many a, confinement, and led to
many serious injury when the trou-
BILE might have been avoided had the
mother possessed strong abdominal
muscles. But this is not all. Many
deaths have resulted from the same
cause. For want of strength in these
muscles. prolonged labor and hemor-
rhage have carried away the mother
and ofttimes the child. ...-H
So We emphasize abdominal exercise
for all women; to secure q better fig
ure, more vigor of body, and. above all,
greater safety in collaborating.

ARTISTIC HOMES.

How a Great Manufacturer Has Brought
Them Within Roach Of All.
Probably at no time in the worlds
history has so much attention been
paid to the interior decoration OF
homes as at present. No home. no
matter how humble, is without its
handiwork that helps to beautify the
apartments and make the surround
ings more cheerful. The taste Of the
American people has kept pace with
the age, and almost every day brings
forth something new In the way OF a
picture, draping, piece of furniture
or other form of mural decoration.
One Of the latest of these has been
given to the world by the celebrated
artist, Muville, in series OF four
handsome porcelain game plaques.
Not for years has anything as hand
some in this line been seen. The sub
jects represented by these plaques are
American Wild Ducks, American
Pheasant, American Quail and English
Snipe. They are handsome paintings
and are especially designed for hang
ing on dining-room walls, though
their richness and beauty entities them
to . place in the parlor of any home.
These original plaques have been pur-
chased at cost of $4,000 by J. q.
Hubinger Bros. Co., manufacturers OF
the celebrated Elastic Starch, and in
order to enable their numerous GUS
toners to become possessors OF these
handsome works of art they have had
them reproduced by special process
in all the rich ,colors and beauty d
the original. They are finished on
heavy cardboard, pressed and en-
bossed in the shape of a plaque and
trimmed with heavy band OF gold.
They measure forty inches in circum-
ference and contain no reading matter
or advertisement whatever
Until October Messrs. J. G. Hub1n-
ger Bros. Co. propose to distribute
these plaques free to their customers.
Every purchaser of three ten-cent
packages of Elastic Starch, f1at-iron
brand, manufactured by J. c. Hubin-
ger Bros. Co., is entitled to receive
one Of these handsome plaques free
from their grocer. Old and new GUS
toners alike are entitled to the bene-
fits Of this offer. These plaques will
not be sent through the mail, the only
way to obtain them being from your
grocer. Every grocery store In the
country has Elastic Starch for sale. It
is the oldest and best laundry starch
on the market, and is the most perfect
cold process starch ever invented. 1t
is the only starch made by men who
thoroughly understand the laundry
business, and the only starch that will
not injure the finest fabric. It has been
the standard for quarter of CEN
fury, and as an evidence of how good
it is twenty-five million packages were
sold last year. Ask your dealer to
show you the plaques and tell you
about Elastic Starch. Accept no sub
stitute Bear in mind that this offer
holds good short time only, and
should be taken advantage OF without
delay.

eral of the United States army, sug-

flies and sand flies, with which the
troops in the far south are now both
cred. Mr.. Foley served through the
civil war, and has had considerable
personal experience in the matter,
having resided for several summers in
different parts Of Canada. The prep
aration he recommends is composed of
olive or cottonseed oil, with a sufficient
amount Of North Carolina tar to give
the mixture the consistency Of ordin-
airy cream. This, applied to exposed
parts Of the body, face, neck and
hands, a few times during the day or
just before retiring at night. will, he
says, relieve the soldiers of all insect
pests found in warm climates.

A Novel DeYice.

From the New York Sun: The vital
statistics Of this city TEEN with brief
obituaries of ladies who get up in the
night for cough medicine, and, not hav-
ing time to light the gas, hit upon
the wrong bottle, which is usually
found by the coroner's physician to
contain carbolic acid. 1t would ap-
pear that bottles containing poison
have a mysterious power Of presenting
themselves before all others to the
cropping hand. To obviate this source
Of mortality various schemes have
been suggested, among them the use
of corrugated glass bottles, easily dis
tinguished by the touch, for polsons,
and the employment of luminous paint
to warn the midnight searcher from
the perilous dose.
The latest devise is by Albert T.
Plummer of this city, whose attention
was turned to the subject last fall by
a case OF accidental poisoning in his
own family which nearly resulted ia
tally and by an editorial in the Sun
about the same time commenting on
the fact that nobody had succeeded In
producing a bottle from which poison
was not likely to be taken by mistake.
After considerable reflection Mr.. Plum
mer contrived the anchor safety stop
per, which is now in use in many hos
pitfalls, and which the accompanying IL
lustration represents. The anchor in
side the bottle is of heavy glass and Is
attached to the cork by an, asbestos
cord which neither affects nor is affect
ed by acids or chemicals used in med
icine. When the cord is withdrawn
the anchor catches, and another warn
ing is given by the rattle of the an
Choir striking the neck of the bottle.
The contents Of the bottle may be

Where To-Morrow h, gins.

Out in the Pacific Ocean, somewhere
about midway between San Francisco
and Yokohama, is place where to-
morrow is born and the traveller skips
from yesterday to tomorrow without
being able to get grip on today. One
day is absolutely stolen out Of his life,
for If it be Tuesday on one side ct
the line, it is either Thursday or Tues
day repeated on the other. No matter
which direction the ship may be sail
ing, the passenger is shy one whole
day when he gets to that point. The
weekly calendar operates from differ
ent sides Of the sea, and the result is
this conflict. In crossing the Atlantic
from London to New York the pas
senger gains slightly over half an hour
a day. From New York to Chicago he
adds another hour to the three or four
crossing the ocean, another In reach
ing Denver, and still another on reach
ing San Francisco. The latter city
