Rev silk aleaohinr.

A novel and pleasing discovery Is
credited to q German inventor, whose
name, unfortunately, does not appear.
the realization Of a silk bleaching
process by which the silk comes out
q dazzling white. 1t ia found that, il
to bleaching baths of a bottle Of sodi-
um or hydrogen a liquid alcohol OF
the ethylc series, such as wood or
ordinary spirit, is added, or ~glycerine,
ethyl aldehyde, acetone, or any body
belonging to the same series as tbs
last two, the bleaching effect is in
creased greatly. Hitherto perfectly
white silk could only be got from raw
yellow material on condition of taking
out the haste; now it can be easily
obtained without the loss Of the lat
ter. The supplementary bleaching
agents can be used over and over
again, being added to the bleaching
baths in quantities and at tempera-
lures depending upon the material
and the degree and speed of bleaching
required. In one example noted, a
closed vessel fitted with an upward
condenser contains II pounds Of raw
yellow silk, % of commercial, 3 per
cent Of peroxide of hydrogen, m
monia to neutralize the acidity Of the
peroxide and % pounds Of raw acetone.
The whole is boiled for one hour. The
silk comes out a dazzling white.-New

He Had Reason for sympathy.

A parson who occasionally breaches
in South London arrived to take the
place of the vicar, who had been called
away on account Of some family be-
reavement. and found an old and rath-
er asthmatic lady struggling up the
steps which led to the front door. He
~courteously gave her his arm to assist
her. and when they reached the top
the dame asked him If he knew who
was going to preach. "Mr. So-and-
So" ooh, dear me-. exclaimed the old
lady, help me down again, II you
please; I'd rather listen to the groan-
ing and creaking of a windmill than
sit under him." and she prepared to de-
scend. The parson gently assisted her
downstairs. and sighfully remarked, a.
he babe her good-by: II wouldn't 20

Among the Catholic Foresters in this
city, none is better known or more
universally esteemed, than Mr.. S. p.
Rush, Conductor (President) of Holy
Name Court, Number 26.
His many friends, inside the Order
and outside of it's ranks, were. there
fore, much startled to learn that his
life was in danger, he having Bright's
Disease, that most terrible and fatal
disease.
MIR. Rush, however, made a grand
struggle for his life, taking preserip-
tons, and pills and powaers, until his
stomach refused food. At last, his
local druggist, guided by the numerous
inquiries being made at his store for
Dodd's Kidney Pills, advised Mr.. Rush
to buy and try some. This he did, and
to his delight he was restored to
health and strength.
Mr.. Rush says that after commene-
Ing the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. he
felt much better, but it took two
months to effect q cure.

Kidney Pills during that time, 80 I

What this wonderful remedy has
done for Mr.. Rush, it will certainly do
Tor anyone. 1t Is the only remedy
that has never failed to cure Brixht's

MAY HANG THEM IN KANSAS
Governor Stanley Considers the r
Capital Punishment.

Governor Stanley Considers the Revival Of
Capital Punishment.
Governor Stanley of Kansas is now
making Investigations which NAV
cause him to believe that capital
punishment should be made effective
in Kansas. The law is now a dead
letter. Should the research which the
governor is 10Y making sustain that
which has already been made he will
ask the legislature to frame q law re-
storing capital punishment. The old
law in Kansas prescribed death by
hanging, but this was made inopera-
i've by a provision which gave the
governors the option of signing a death
warrant or permitting the convict to
serve a life term. No Kansas governor
has cared to take the first step in this
matter, consequently there are about
eighty men under death sentence in
the state prison. Various persons
have at times started agitation in
favor of hangingthose criminals who
are guilty of capital offenses, but the
subject has always been dropped after
brief discussion.
Without consulting ''any other
power" Governor Stanley has taken
the matter up and is now digging into
criminal statistics from various states
to ascertain the result of the operation
OF capital punishment laws. Mr..
Stanley said:
IF l find hat in the state where

from the Investigations already
made?" asked the reporter.
Il believe that, unless the situation
changes, will recommend capital
punishment i'll Kansas"
"What will be done with those con-
victs already sentenced to death, but
by virtue of the present law are serv-
ing life sentences?"
"That is a question which the legis-
lature must determine" replied the
governor.
Should the legislature provide for
the execution of the sentences of death
on the convicts now in the penitentiary,
John Henry Collins, the Topeka boy
who murdered his father, would be on
the list.
