HORSE HAIR.
Processes of Preparing 1t for stuning
Upholstery.

Upholstery.
The horse hair used in upholstery is
obtained from the names and tails OF
horses; the latter is the more valu-
able, the former being Of inferior quail
ity The hair combed from the tails
is designated hard" that from the
names soft" while the hair is further
distinguished by the terms live" and
dead according as It has been taken
from the animal before or after death
Live" nair commands the highest
price. White is the most valuable
kind as regards color, as it is suitable
for dying bright tlnts, and the best
hair is obtained from wild horses.
Horsehair undergoes three sortings-
viz, into sorts according to length,
into different colors, and into various
qualities After this the hair is washed
in warm soap baths and in water
slightly heated, to which lime or pot
ash has been added The hair, except
the white sort. which is to be bleached
is after cleaning passed through dye
bath, in which logwood is the chief
ingredient. Short hair being used for
stuffing in upholstery work, and long
hair chiefly for the manufacture OF
haircloth. the two kinds. after the
above treatment, undergo different
processes. Short horse hair, although
best for the purpose when used alone
is nevertheless mixed with COW and pig
hair for stufing chairs, sofas and the
like Different blends of these are
made and the three kinds thoroughly
Incorporated by suitable machines
after which the mixture is beaten and
screened to free 1t from dust. Then
follows the curling" process, by which
the hair is first spun into ropes, which
are next twisted into much shorter
lengths, and by a third operation fur
ther twisted until they get into con.
volute shape. The curl thus given re-
quires to be fixed by placing the hail
in cold water for several hours. and
afterwards in an oven, where 1t is kept
for some time at a considerable tenn
perature. This baking also destroys
the eggs of obnoxious insects. For
use in stutfing chairs, ETC., the hair re-
Quires to be teaged OUT

MRS s. c. KINGMAN.

MRS s. c. KNGMAN.
 Mrs Emily Brooks Ktngman, wife of Samuel c. Kingman, entered into eternal life on Saturday morning of last week. Mrs Kingman had been i'll for several months and th0ughout her long illness she manifested. the characteristics of pa- tience mingled with the utmost sweet ness. She had . beautiful character and her loss will be keeDly felt in the home where she had been such devoted wife and mother. Besides her husband che leaves i've daughters: Mrs Buckingham of Bridgeport, MIs Flames and Mrs Loomis and Mrs Buckingham of Chicago. The funeral vas held at the family resi- dence on Sunday evening, Rev R. K. Car ter officiating, and the interment was iu Bridgeport on Monday morning. A large circle of friends will long mourn the loss of Mrs KiDgman whose klndness and beauty of character endeared her to their hearts. The following poem that was read at the funeral of the late Mrs William B. Brinsmade ard vas So true of her. is equally true of Mrs Kin9man: "Whsn , ts'1s IL the ni.ht upon the earth IT 10 suns ot dead, his radiance st,n
 Beams bright on other skies.
 And when the dawn star groweth dim
 upon the brow Of mOrns
 It sd shines ons though earthly eyes,
 That miss 1t, grow forlorn.
 Some other world Is glad to see
 Our star, that's gone away.
 The light, whose gong makes our night,
 Makes somewhere else day.
 The feelt1a- cse their walking here,
 Tired Of the Way they've trod,
 With strength renewed go travelling
 The pathway up to God.
 The hand whose patient fingers now,
 Have laid earth's labor by,
 With loving skill has taken up
 Some higher ministry.
 The eyes that give no longer back
 The tender look Of love,
 Now, with 8 deathless gleam drink in t Gods beauteous world above. The lips whose sweet tones made us ask If angels 0Weoter sung, Though silent here, make heaven glad With their melodious tongae. And though her body lies asleep, Our dear one is not dead, She rises through dark deaths bright birth With joy upon her head. And she is just our loved ono still. And loves us now no less, She goes away to como again To watch us and to bless. And though we cannot clasp her hand Nor look upon her face, l Nor listen to her voice again. Nor watch her ways of grace, Still we can keep her memory bright, And walk the way ahe tr0d. Up to the house of God"
