Club Of HeG-Haired Men.

One Of the unique social organi2a-
tions of the country has recently been
formed OF Washington. The only in
flexible rule for membership is that
the applicant shall have red hair. The
society is defined by member as be-
ing society of protest" but strictly
social in its aims. It has no philan-
thropical nor political ideals, and there
is no danger. should the idea spread
and become national in its scope, Of
the R. II. C.'s putting forth a candidate
for the presidency.
1t seems that the society organized
in a rebellion against the antiquatcd
and moldy witticicms which red,
haired people III all parts of the civili-
zed and unciviiized world are supposed
to enjoy. or at least TO suffer with a
sicllly pretense Of enjoymeat-Chi.

ANOTHER ARTIFICIAL SILK.

This Made Of Cotton Fibre Suitably Treat
ed With Chemicals.
Several limitations of silk are already
known to the dry goods trade. One
of the first to be invented was pro-
duced by spinning soft gummy sub
stance obtained from collodion, or gun
cotton dissolved in alcohol. The
mechanism for drawing this materia.
out into spiders web was designed
by a Frenchman, Chardonnet. His
product never had any extensive use,
toT some reason, though it had beau
tiful lustre The most satisfactory re-
suits have been secured by subjecting
cotton thread TO a soaking in alkali,
while under strain. The inventor Of
the system was Mr.. Mercer, and the
process is called mercerizlng. A great
deal of mcrceriZed cotton is now sold
as such, and great deal more is mar
keted under names which do not afford
to the uninitiated an idea Of its real
character. In any case, though. it is
poor imitation OF silk, but an excellent
thing in itself.
Within the last few weeks still an
other plan has been reported from
Germany. AS is common in such
cases, the preliminary announcement
is made in sensational way, and it
probably eXaggerates the facts. Still,
it is evident that the process is >.ffer-
ent from Mercer's, and the claim is
made that the goods are superior to
those which are now so well known.
The Wool and Cotton Reporter has
found description of the new method,
which seems to resemble Chardonnet's
in at least one particular. The cotton
fibre is dissolved completely, but the
chemicals employed are different from
those used by Chardonnet Our con-
temporary says:
A German chemist and an Austrian
mechanical engineer invented the pro-
cess. They have obtained letters pat
cnt for it in all countries. They mix
copper, ammonia and cotton waste n
q large vat. In about six hours liquid
Of dark blue color IS formed, which
passes into large filter press. and
then out of small glass tubes into a
mild sulphuric acid bath. 1t is then
Of gelatinous consistency, and is
caught by a small glass rcd. in the
hand Of a boy or girl, and reeled onto
a large spool as it passes through the
hath. The copper and ammonia, to-
gether with other chemicals, are de-
rosited es a sediment, and are used
again, AS the threads are reeled. they
receive bath Of cold water from q
siphcn. The numerous spools centre
on one large spool, and are then reeled
onto another, and so on, always under
cold water, until all chemicals ard
acids are removed. This stage Of tn,
process occupies about four hours, and
afterward the thread is taken to a dry
ing room.
It is stated that the product is bril-
liant in color and finish. and of con-
siderable textile strength. The thread
is said to consist Of 10 or 90 fbres
twisted into one, but it can be made
to any thickness required. The pre3-
ent price of the product is about 50
percent of real silk. The machines are
small and compact. and are operated
by ingeniously applied electric power;
each machine can be started or stopped
without interference with the others.
The labor, too, is nearly all unskilled,
and the patent is the property Of

Do what you can, give what you

Patience and strength are what we

ought to be.-Phillips Brooks.
At the bottom of good deal of

cowardice Men will face pow

The only real relief is in absolute
conquest; and. the earlier the battle
begins, the easier and the shorter it
will be. If one can keep irritability
under, one may escape struggle to
the death with passion.-Juliana H.
Ewing.
Not till we are. ready to throw our
very life's love into the troublesome
little things can we be really faithful
in that which is least and faithful
also in much. Every day that dawns
brings something to do, which can
never be done as well again.-James

Pretty Bedspreads.

A pretty bedspread is as necessary
to we'll and daintily furnished room
as are spotlessly clean curtains, and
within the last few years heavy coun.
terpanes have been entirely super.
seded by the more decorative articles.
The spread should harmonic with the
wall covering. 1t Is such a (compara.
tively) large surface that If it's tone
clashes with the wall tone it takes
away from instead of adding to the ap.
pearance of the room. Art linen is
being much employed for the inexpen.
sive spreads. It runs in width 80, 40
and so inches, and as the average
double bed is Ave feet in breadth and
{ feet s inches long, a bedspread Of
sufficient size to reach nearly to the
ground should be at least three and q
half to four yards wide, and it's length
can be easily calculated. By far tho
most effective way to make one Of
those spreads Of art linen is to join
the lengths together by strips Of tor.
chon lace insertion. The insertions
may be run with satin ribbon. but
this is not essential.
For those who require something
more ethereal than art linen, beautiful
spreads may be fashioned of nainsooll,
cambria or book muslin, with an under
cover of colored sateen, batiste or
lawn. In pale blue or pink bedroom
a bedspread of white muslin, with
white valenciennes lace insertions
made up over pale blue or pink rib
bons, is particularly dainty.-Ameri-
