PREcA0TIoN IN POWDER MILLS
Poeketless Clothing for Employees and
 Trousers Must Not Re Turned Up.

Trousers Must Not Be Turned Up.
 The danger buildings of a powder mill are themselves so constructed that not nail head or iron In any shape is exposed, and the roofs are made slight, so as to give easy vent to ex- plosions. The garments of the work CTS are poeketless, so that they cannot carry knives or matches, or. indeed. anything, and are made of non-infam- mable material. Even the buttons must not be made of metal. No one is allowed to go about with trousers turned up at the bottom, because grit is collected in that wa. and the mer- est hard speck of foreign matter in charge of gunpoWder is fraught with danger. The entrances to danger buildings are protected by boards placed edgewise, so that when the door is open nothing in the shape of dirt can work in. This also serves as a check to any one who might thought lessly enter without having first re- moved his boots and put on the over alls that are kept just inside the door Doors are made bo ope2 outward. so as to enable them to escape the more readily, and on the approach of thun- derstorm the works are stopped and the operatives repair to the different warehouses scattered over the 300 acres covered by these extensive works. Every week the machinery is inspected and the reports as tc it's condition are printed and filed. In the case of a dan- ger building needing to be repaired it must first be washed out before q hammer or other iron tool is admitted to it. When artificial light is required, as when working at night or in dull weather the lights are kept outside, being placed on the window ledges. In the case of the works magazine, which is surrounded with water, no light of any kind is ever permitted near it. These are only few of the precau- tions against accidents at the works. They are sufficient, however, to show how lively must be the sense of dan- ger. Men in powder houses usually have an arranged plan of escape in their minds and at the least unex- peeted noise have hot hesitated to plunge into the canal.

Collection of Interesting Topics
For the Women.

Belt buckles are being replaced by belt
pins. The belt when of ribbon or other
soft material Is simply crossed in front
and fastened with this new device
ColOred hats are extremely modisl
and are especially pretty with the thin
summer gowns.
A new combination of colors is cream
and white This sounds simple but it
would hardly pay an amateur to at
tempt it.
Little girls are wearing the broad
brimmed hats of Tuscan straw simply
trimmed with full bow of double faced
ribbon in front, and strings.
Just as every one has her pocketbool1
or finger purse decorated with a silver
or gold monogram, comes the edict that
the monogram must be carved in the
leather to be strictly up-to-date
Colored Bingham petticoats elaborate
ly trimmed with lace and insertion are
being worn with wash dresses.
Pink in all the prettiest tints is IN
doubtedly popular this season and
striking combinations are made by the
use of violet or heliotropes with it.
Ash gray is one of the newest shades
introduced but only women with perfect
compilations should attempt to wear it.
Among the loveliest creations in white
petucOatS is one of white China silk,
with two nounces OF mousseline de sole,
finely shirred at the top and edged with
an insertion of silk lace. The corset
cover which accompanies it is made of
fine nainSock, and shows clusters of
tuckS separated by the lace insertions
and tied on the shoulders with ribbon
bows
The tiny band of black velvet contin-
ues to be worn around the base of white
linen or fancy collars, and when worn
with fancy ribbon collars, several tiny
cut steel buckles or slides fastened on
the velvet at intervals is a pretty addi-
ton.
London has gone blouse mad The
swell shops go right on showing new de-
signs every day. and still the cry goes
up for fresher things. Much lace and
ffuffs of chiffon and the baby ribbon are
worked into most of the summer styles.
New Fad.
The tendency of the smart woman to
choose black handles for her sunshades
is very marked this season. The shop
keepers say that the black handle never
enjoyed such a vogue, and they account
for it by the equally great vogue OF
plain, pale colors, such as pink, blue,
yellow and lilac With a silk sunshade
of any Of these tints a black handle is
more effective than the most elaborate
stick of pale hue and mounted with
fancy wood or precious metal. Ebony,
gun metal and black oak are used for
these sticks. Many of the tops are of
cut jet. crystal or gun metal studded
with jewels or picked out with gold.

A NOVEL CONCOCTION.
From a Long Island woman, members
Of whose family lived for a long time
in Damascus, the following recipe for
rose syrup is obtained:
Cut the roses in full bloom, pull out
the petals and spread on a tray to pre-
vent mildew. Keep cutting the roses
off and spreading the petals out until
there is enough for a jar or tumbler of
preserve, if you can do up only a small
quantity. Then put the rose leaves
into a preserve kettle. with water. cover
and cook till tender. Add sugar and
boil until it forms a syrup. Pour into
fruit cans or jelly jars. In Damascus
this is served in small cups and passed
around on silver trays for visitors to
partake of.
Tt makes, also, a delicious addition to
pudding sauce. or the batter for deli
cate cake, and the English or American
residents of Damascus have added it to
mince pie meat with happy results. a
peculiarly delicate flavor being thus i'm
parted to the pie.
ESSENTIALS OF CAKE BAKING.
When making a cake regulate the
temporal ure of the oven according to
the kind of cake to be made.
Fold the flour in carefully, instead
of by strong circular strokes.
Keep the raisi1s, currants. and other
fruit in a warm room over night,
dredge thoroughly with flour and stir in
lightly the last thing.

Line the tins for loaf cake with oiled

Whip the whites of eggs to a coarse.
moderately stiff froth rather than a

Place the cake in the oven as soon
as the baking powder is added.
Have everything I'm readiness before
commencing to mix the ingredients;
have the latter at the right tempera-
ture, and do not suspend the mixing
until the cake is ready for the oven.
According to an old housezeeper, two
