MAKING PLASTER OF PARIS.
A Now French Process-Regulating the
Baking.

A New French Process-Kesulating the
Eaking.
Plaster of paris is made by baking
Jumps Of gypsum, which contain a
certain amount of water in combina-
tion with the other materials. 1t IS
the replacing of this missing fuld
subsequently that leads to harden
ing of the plaster. The water enters
into a chemical union with the dry
powder and thus disappears.
According to "The Scientific Ameri-
can" the French chemist LIE Chatelier
has discovered that when the gypsum
is baked at a temperature below 16o
degrees centigrade (320 Fahrenheit)
a. quarter of the water remains be-
hind. The temperature should be
raised at least to 165. Moreover,
some means should be employed to
exclude the smoke and other impuri-
ties which get into plaster that IS
prepared In one Of the usual ways.
Until recently, a thoroughly white
plaster involved so much labor as to
be rather costly. Accordingly, num-
ber of new furnaces have been In
vented which shall produce an article
that Is both clean and cheap. 1.-The
Scientific American" declares:
The Perrin furnace is one Of the best
of these, and has the advantage OF
needing but little hand work and OF
pushing the dehydration of hot gases;
besides, as it makes eight furnacefuls
in "a hours, the production fs rapid,
and one Of it's main advantages is
great economy of combustible. 1t
consists Of heating furnace and a
baking chamber; the furnace. heated
by coke or other smokeless combustl-
BILE. communicates by conduit with
the chamber, which is formed OF a
metallic cylinder revolving about It's
axis upon mechanically operated roll
lers. and contains the pulverized gyp-
sum, which rolls upon itself by the
continuous movement Of the drum. so
that it's particles are successfully ex'
posed to the hot gases which traverse
It. Above the drum is the charging
bin, in which the gypsum is heated
preyious to it's introduction, being
surrounded by a series of tubes which
are heated by the discharge gases.
When one charge is baked, 1t is let
fall into a lower chamber by a trap,
and a new supply fed in from the
charging hopper. The latter Is kept
supplied from the grinding mills by
q bucket conveyor. A company is be-
ing formed to work this process, with
a capital of 100000.

Furniture Made Of Match Boxes.

A hotel keeper out west is said to pos
sess the most curious articles of furni-
ture in the world. For many years he
collected match boxes and as soon as he
had obtained several thousand he began
to construct furniture out of them.
First he made a large writing desk,
then a cigar stand, then a sideboard,
then a FIRE screen and finally score or
so of small decorative pieces for the
walls and mantelpiece. What is most
surprising about his work is that the
boxes, though empty and ordinarily OF
the most himsy structure, have been ar
ranged by him in such manner that
they have a wonderful appearance OF
solidity and strength, and indeed those
who have examined the furniture say
that it is quite as strong as though it
had been made of ordinary wood. Fur
thermore, the boxes have been so ingen-
iously joined together that they seem to
form one whole piece, and not until af-
ter a minute examination can any trace
be found of their original size and shape.
These unique pieces of furniture are
naturally attracting much attention, and
if the hotel keeper cared to dispose OF
them he could obtain a much higher
price than is paid for ordinary furni-
ture.-Neav York Herald.

Two Talented Sisters.

Lady Duff Gordon is one Of the
handsomest as well as one of the most
talented of English women. She was
formerly Mrs. Wallace, and married
her present husband in 1900. Clever
and enterprising, she decided to join
the army of women workers, and
started in business as dressmaker.
Good taste, good manners and good
luck assisted the plucky little lady,
and her small shop soon developed
into a maison with rich ultra-smart
set of customers. Lady Duff Cor
don's own appearance IS quite Pari-
sian. Lady Duff Gordon's sister. Mrs.
Clayton Glyn, has lately made her
mark as a successful authoress, hav-

appears in tableaux vivants, etc. She
is a very pretty, fair woman, with

White silk roses with black velvet

of the dainty effects Of the season.
Among the fads of the hour in jew

effective when the fruit or flowers or
the pin match the gown In color.
Medallions in imitation Of old

esses adorn these medallions.
Tho linen batiste collar with lace
applications is favored especially by
Partisan dress designers. 1t is large,

appears on almost all the gowns.
The latest fad with regard to lin
eerie is to have it embroidered with
a blossom corresponding to ones name

Laundered Summer Gowns.

Ginghams, when they can be had
in good colorings, are excellent at the
sea shore. The silk ginghams and
mercerized cottons are smart, and can

ings and at such reasonable prices as
to make them good investments. 1t
would be better, however, to have a
silk skirt for any one of these gowns,
or one skirt to do duty for several
gowns, as silk will keep its stiffness
and stability much longer than lawn
or muslin skirt. Swiss muslins so
soon lose their coloring and stiff
ness that they are not good invest
ments either, for the sea shore, but
again are possible if lined with silk.
But this at once makes them very ex-
pensive gowns, for the dotted mus
lins in the new designs and of fine
quality are never cheap. Mousseline
de sole and batiste gowns can only
be worn on dry days and the latter
material should always be chosen in
preference to the former.-Harper's

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

People who say nothing can offend
as deeply as people who say too much.
There is only one thing which wins
a battle, and that is straight shoot
ing.
The slightest sorrow for sin is sufti-
cient if it produces amendment, and
the greatest is insufficient if 1t does
not.
Every now and then mans mind is
stretched by a new idea of sensation,
and ever shrinks back to it's former d.
mensions.
There are seasons when to be
still demands immeasurably higher
strength than to act. Composure Is
often the highest result of power.
You might as we'll expect one wave
of the sea to be precisely the same as
the next wave of the sea as to expect
that there would be no change OF cir
cumstances.

fame, must come spontaneously and
indirectly, if they come at all. and not
be sought as a specific end or direct
aim in themselves.
Call it happiness or call it blessed
ness, the life whose end is righteous
ness is a life which satisfies, and
which one is not willing but glad to
live; its ways are ways of pleasant
ness and all it's paths are peace.
The man who has so little knowl-
edge of human nature as to seek hap
piness by changing anything but his
or dispositions will waste his life in
fruitless efforts and multiply the
griefs which he purposes to remove.
The past looks large as it reaches
behind us. The future seems great
enough to hold everything we desire.
But after all, we never have single
day except the present one to really
do, or decide anything in. Today is
our opportunity.

HOW Attitudes Affect People.

Attitudes affect people in many
ways" said a western railroad man,
who nearly every day crosses a por-
ton of the line of that road in Wyom-
ing, where the altitude is over 5000
feet. "We seldom have any serious
cases. he continued. ''but we often
have our hands full. Men and women
faint on getting too high in the air,
and we have to work with them pref
ty hard They turn blue, bleed at the
nose and gasp for breath. Our usual
plan is to dash cold water in the faces
of the victims and rub their arms. feet
and hands. Occasionally the altitude
affects a mans mind. The other day
we had school teacher get on with
US. AS we climbed higher and high
er he began to act strangely. Soon
he was in the baggage car talking
strangely and declaring that a man
was trying to kill him. We worked
with him to the best of our ability, and
thought he had partly recovered. At
Green River, Wyo., he got off the train
as if to get a breath of fresh air, but
as he appeared to have returned to
full possession of his mind the coniuc-
tor and others of the train crew didn't
watch him. They missed him when
the train had gone eastward some
distance and sent word back by wire
to look out for the fellow. BY the
time the telegram reached the town,
however, the man had gone off to
Green river, jumped in and drowned
himself. All this came about because
the altitude had made the man light
headed, and he was not responsible
fer his actions. s."-Washington Star.

Proper Vanity.

It is in every woman's power to
make herself attractive and, more
than that, it is her duty to make her
self as beautiful as possible. She
owes it to society, society demands
it and has right to.
A woman who pays no attention to
herself and her personal appearance
will never make an impression. An
attractive woman will in every case
precede her. Don't gst the idea that
it is wrong or that it is vanity. NO
woman can afford to be without this,
which is her greatest power. 1t gives
her influence, something that all per-
sons like to possess, says an observer
in the Pittsburg Press. Every woman
should cultivate her beauty, but she
should not allow pride to enter her
heart because OF it. Nature is kind
and will abundantly reward those
who make free use of her gifts. She
has bestowed some mark of beauty
upon every one. Each of us is SIN
gle individual endowed with some
thing that no other has, for while
mother nature is kind, yet she is par
tial and she is fond of variety, con-
sequcntly she has not given two per-
sons exactly the same mark.
Every woman should exercise both
body and soul; strength of the one
means strength Of the other. Let her
grow strong physically and spir1tu-
ally, grow in intelligence, grow in
virtue, grow in charity, grow in SYM
pathy, grow in affection, in fact, grow
in everything that will add to her
personal appearance.

The Care of Gloves.

In warm weather gloves grow shah
by very quickly. When the hand per-
spires freely. as it always does IN
summer, it is almost impossible to
keep even the incest gloves looking
we'll for any length Of time, unless
the hands are dipped and rubbed into
fine oatmeal just before the gloves
are slipped on. The meal Will ABSORB
the perspiration that is the cause OF
the gloves becoming stiff and discol-
ored, and keep the hands, at least for
a time, quite dry. Instead OF the oas-
meal fuller's earth may be employed.
When the gloves are removed, a IT.
tie French chalk, fuller's earth, V1o-
let powder or oatmeal should be
sprinkled into them, into the fingers,
as we'll as the palms Of the gloves;
this will prevent discoloration.
Gloves should never be folded up or
they will wrinkle and fit badly ever
after. They ought to be laid away
quite fiat with all the fingers pulled
out carefully.
When trying on a new glove, have
plenty of time, for If it is put on care
fully and correctly the first time, 1t
will last longer and look better during
it's entire wearing life. The hand
should neither be cold nor too damp.
A hot hand will most likely be damp
if so, oatmeal or fuller's earth Will
correct this, and the hand just COM
fortably warm and perfectly dry
should be carefully inserted into the
glove, finger by finger, the thumb
last. In removing glove turn the
wrist portion over the hand, then
loosen the glove from the base OF the
fingers not from the nail ends.
When white gloves are signify
soiled they may be cleansed byrubbing
the soiled part with piece OF india
rubber or with a handful Of baked
-four; pipeclay, magnesia and benzine
are also excellent-the latter, hoWeV-
or. should be used most carefully,
never where there is gas or very
strong light or heat.-American

AOanocrafic Monarch,

King Oscar of Sweden and Norway Is
a democratic ruler. He loses no oppor-
tunity of ingratiating himself with his
people. The newspapers of Stockholm
recently had local celebration called
the "Press Week." during the course OF
which they issued handsome Illustrated
daily called "Ariel." In the first num-
ber was the following from King Oscar
"Sweden is one of the countries where
constitutional liberty has the oldest and
the deepest roots. In particular, the lib
erty of the press is now fully guaran-
tced, but with its love and independence
this country has always united venera-
ton for the law and loyalty. Its his
tory proves this, and the few exceptions
only serve to prove the truth OF this
fact"

All Work and No Play.

The all work and no play woman
soon becomes scarcely more than a
machine, a machine that too often
runs without the wheels being
greased-in a hard, grinding, squeak
ing way, requiring much more
strength and time than if little lu-
brication had been given in the shape
of occasional pleasant moments
snatched by the way.
There is one thing certain; it is
better to try and be content with lit
tie, doing without some things that
we may have a great desire for, than
to so wear ourselves out body and
spirit, in their attainment that We
lose the power of enjoyment, too tired
to care for anything.
So the wise wiman, though, like the
woman in the Bible, she rises while
it is yet night" she makes sure of a
little time every day-perhaps not
more than a half hour-which is her
very own, and with which stranger or
friend "intermeddleth not. "-Phila-
delphia Times.

One-cent Pie Hakcr.

A Pennsylvania woman has a cor
ner in the most remarkable market in
the world. She has solved the intri-
cate problem of making and selling
pies for cent and is becoming rich
at it. She does nothing but bake the
penny pies, and she cannot supply the
demand.
Her pie bakery is located along
side one Of the public school buildings
in a prominent city In the state, and
every morning pupils, not only from
this school, but from all other schools
in the city, flock to her establishment
for the pies. She is kept busy night
and day.
The secret Of her success, she as
serts, lies in her ability to make an
enormous amount of material. For
instance, from one pound Of raisins
she can make Is pies. No other per-
son has been able to make more than
Is pies from one pound of raisins.-

To Care for a Watch.

A we'll known matchmaker says that
if people only followed the directions
given below he would have very little
in the way of watch repairs.
Wind the watch in the morning and
not at night, as directly after winding
it works best and can thus better
stand the constant movements OF its
Wearer during he day.
Wind it slowly, holding 1T quite
still in the hand, and carefully avoid
ing jerks.
Keep it as nearly as possible in the
same position-that is, If worn in the
pocket during the day, do not lay it
down quite fiat at night.
Avoid sudden changes of tempera-
ture; do not wear it in warm pocket
all day and hang it on cold wall at
night.
Clean the pocket IN which is 1t kept
frequently or dust is certainly sure
to get into it.
Have it cleaned once every year
even though it is going we'll.

Dog Cleared Track For Train.

1t is a matter Of history that shep-

horses and cattle covered the Thousand
hills" and blockaded the valleys through
which the pioneer line ran. A dog was
kept on the engine to clear the track
when brutes became so numerous as to
bring the train to standstill. There
are many early settlers living in the
northwest who tell the story of the use
fulness of this little shepherd dog in
operating trains on the DR.. Baker rail-

and was known by all the miners OF

way, While doing duty on the track

Tho Veil That ElapS.

There may be some reason for wom-
ems wearing the Tapping veil now
affected by fashions deyotee, but no
person was ever yet found who could
explain its use beyond that of wiping
the face of the person next in the
street car. 1t doesn't keep on the hat.
for it is too loose, and no veil hang
ing like the sail of boat run up
in the wind could ever hold the hair
down. 1t doesn't keep the face clean
