UNHEALTHY BED CLOTHES.


Science! Thy name is adulteration.
Another terror has been added to exist
ence by the revelation made by an
English trade paper OF the processes by
which certain manufacturers 'fill'' tho
sheets and blankets with which they
food the market. We are told that at
ter piece of waste sheeting has been
woven the cloth is passed over trough
containing solution of zine, sulphate
OF magnesia commonly known as Ep-
som saltsl and water This is called Il
sprinkler. A revolving brush plays Il
spray of these noxious ingredients
upon the cloth, with the result that u
tifty-pound piece after the operation
weighs seven and one-half pounds more
than when 1t left the loom. Az the
goods are sold by the pound the object
Is evident. But what about tho pur-
chaser? A piece cuts up into ten pairs
of sheets. Each pair therefore, con-
tains three quarters OF n pound OF
e-attracting material. The re-
suits are appalling. As soon as wet
day comes the sheets become damp
and the lueklesS wight who sleeps be-
tween them is apt to contract n chill
that may send him to the bourne
whence no traveller returns. Even IL
suspiCions are aroused and he boldly
casts aside the sheets and wraps him
SELF in the blankets il may avail him
nothing, For the blanket makers have
learned the trick. and the same Hire
suits may ensue. Next we shall hear
that the Counterpart makers are equal
ly astute, and the timid sleeper may be
driven to provide himself with tho wool
en- sleeping bags that suggest travels In
the furthest north. The only advantage
OF these filled or heavily sized" sheets
and blankets Is that they are death to
insects But If they kill tho sleeper
as we'll as the puleX irritants-to say
nothing of the cimexlectularius- what

THE NEW YEAR.
HOW

HOW 1T WAS OBSERVED AND
WHAT 1T PROMISES.
The first days of the new year were
cold and crisp, and the weather prog
nosticator says that there will be more
of the same kind before the backbone
of the winter is broken. There were
not many people on the streets and
no business of consequence was trans
acted. All those who draw their pay
from the United States Government
knocked OFF, The banks and num-
Der of the city Offices were closed, and
the young men connected with these
institutions and departments called on
the girls. There was very little, if any,
calling of the formal New Years kind
but Fat many of the elegant private
residences there were delightful social
gatherings.
The year of 1899 promises to be one
of the most prosperous ever experienced
by Norfolk. There will be business ac-
tivity, large trade and increased manu-
facture. Business men expect that there
will be money in abundance to handle
crops and conduct enterprise The
statistics which have been made show
that Norfolk made substantial gains
last year. Eighteen hundred and
ninety-nine. it is believed. will make
a better showing.

SWIMMING PARTIES IN HAWAII.

One swiins in Honolulu as one walks
or drives in England. quite as a matter
of course. At a luncheon given at a
seaside villa, when the lanai frequently
fronts the sea, Its steps leading down
into the water, the first question is
not: Would you like to walk about the
garden?" but will you have a swim? ?"
Frequently riding and swim
ming parties are combined. Riding out
to Waikiki on :. moonlight night on
horseback, the entire party take dip
in the warm lagoon, which is followed
by gay little supper. Balls and swim
ming parties are also much In favor,
and had the good fortune to be pres
ent at one such entertainment.
The waltzing went on until midnight,
then the entire company suddenly dis
persed to rooms set apart for them,
ball gowns and uniforms were chang
ed for bathing dresses, and after n
short interval they returned to the la
mai, thence 10 narrow quay jutting
fer out into the water. The Singing
Boys uniformed in white and wearing
ties about their necks left the veranda,
where they had stationed themselves,
came out upon the quay, and to the
sound of their singing and playing,
which still went on, men and women
leaped into the sea and swan to the
strains of the music. The moon was
full. In the distance rose the mountains
Tho palms along the beach rustled in
the night wind and with the foam of
the surf breaking upon the reef, with
the shimmering waves stretching to the
horizon. the tropical sky studded with
stars that even the full moon could
not quench. the wild, melancholy voices
of tic singers blending with the lap and
beat of the waves. 1t was all Hawaiian
