HOW GRAPE-NUTS FOOD is CON-
STRUCTED.

Grape-Nuts food is made by taking the
portions Of Barley and Wheat containing
the nutritive elements, subjecting the diff
ferent parts to different forms of treat
ment, and finally blending them in the
proper proportions
When ready for the market it is in the
form Of small granules, from the size of
q pin head to two or three times that size.
These pieces glisten when held to the
light, showing the grape sugar crystal
Hzed and deposited on each granule.
This grape sugar is one Of the most nu-
tritive articles Of food known, and is
produced and evolved from the starchy
part of the grains while in process of
manufacture.
No Cane or Beet Sugar is used In MAX
ing Grape-Nuts.
The flavor is very delicate sweet, and
the food itself is crisp and delicious.
Being fully cooked at the factory, no
preparation is required but it is ready to
be served instantly, with a little cream
her hot or cold.

depressed. This permits the insertion
of one or more planks beneath the
stone on the top of the right-hand
pile, which, then, in its turn, can be
made the fulcrum for the stone: and
thus gradually and safely it can be
raised to the level of the next higher
course of masonry. Arrived there. it
could readily be slid, or tilted side
ways, onto the top of that course. and
the alternate fitting process could be
continued until the stone had arrived
at it's intended height, when it could
nave been conveyed on rollers to the
place for which it had been shaped.
4 his method of raising stone is not a
mere hypothesis, as it is in daily prac-
teal use in every 'stone-yard" and
building stone quarry; and doubtless It
has been handed down through count
less generations of stone workers from
an origin too remote for even the
imagination to conceive. Whether
this method was actually used by the
pyramid builders, cannot, of course
remarks the editor of Casters be
asserted; but it is suggested as a sim
pie. inexpensive, safe and effective
mechanical expedient, that satisfies the
description of Herodotus. It may be
urged that a few short pieces of plank,
used as contemplated in the sketch,
cannot properly be called a machine;
but this term is really very compre-
hensive one, and is properly applied to
every mechanical continuance for en-
ploying or directing force, or doing
work, and, therefore, the pieces of
plank, used as shown, are but simple
machines.-Modern Machinery.

PARIS GOWNS.

The tendency toward the peplum
and over-dress is quite as marked in
light gowns of delicate tissue as In
smooth cloths and silks. In some
gowns there is an attempt to intro
duce long apronlike fronts without
back drapery, but the favorite method
of introducing the over-skirt is by
the long apron Joined completely, or
at most opened down the front. One
reason for this is that long garments
tend to make even very plump figures
look slender, whereas rounded aprons
apparently increase the wearer's size.
An example of this kind is given in
Harper's Bazaar in an "at-home" gown
composed of crepe de chine and
mousseline de sole. The slightly
trained skirt fits with sheathlike
smoothness over the figure, but APP
pears to gain fuluess because of the
additional founces of mousseline,
which rise, one over the other, quite
to the waist-line in the back. The
long crepe de chine over-dress, of the
apron variety, Is longer at the left
from point just over the left hip.
At the left side and back seam there
is no similar curve, the crepe being
attached in straight line where the
back rufiles end. The oYer-skirt is
finished with deep rufIie of NOUS
seine de sole, doubled, and garland
of large flowers which runs up the
left side is embroidered upon 1t in
chenille. All embroidered crepes or
mousselines have the flower petals and
leaves formed of colored mousselines
or lighter crepes. The bodice of this
dainty costume for a hostess shows
combination of mauve taffeta and
white mousseline de sole. The latter
material forms the long yoke and the
shirred close-ftting sleeves. The yoke
ends in three deep full puffs over a
corselet of taffeta, which is fastened
at the side by large oval buckle. The
bodice proper fastens under the left
arm. Three billowlike puffs finish
the upper arm of the sleeve, and
bretelles of taffeta complete the
shoulders. The soft high collar is of
mousseIine, and is finished with large
choux Of lace on each side. The sleeves
are terminated by gathered lace ruff
hes, which fall well over the hand
