Grave Clothes in Bridal Trousseaux

Few brides, fancy, would care to
follow custom traditional in some
rural districts of Northumberland, in
England. There, when a woman mar
ries, her grave clothes are considered
quite as essential a part of her trous-
seau as her wedding gown. Safely
wrapped away with lavender and ali
kinds of understanding herbs, they are
taken out from time to time and care
fully aired and inspected. Indeec
these gruesomely suggestive garments
seem to have special value, for their
owner, in moments of gloom and de-
preston, often finds comfort in trying
on her shroud, and rejecting upon the
pleasing effect it will produce when
her turn comes to be viewed" by her
mourning neighbors and acquaint-
ances.

washes out the pores of the skin, and
assists in keeping it clean. Perfect
health is necessary if one would have
a skin of fine and soft texture. AS
for pimples, they come from various
causes, which must be removed.
Sometimes little salve made of
fresh butter with slight coloring of
red oxide of mercury will kill them.
But it is well always to take doctors
advice before using such powerful
remedies,
A Big Blast in Granite.
The London Engineer says that
monster blast was fired at Bonawe
granite quarries, Argyleshire, Scotland,
recently. The mine was driven with
compressed air as the motive power,
into the center of the quarry face for
10 feet, with two arms so feet each,
and chamber at the end of both the
arms in which was placed 10000
pounds of gunpowder,s Inis is the
first mine in any of the granite quar-
lies which has been driven by rock
drills actuated by compressed air and
the operation was carried through In
the remarkably short time of 10 weeks
from date of starting by Messrs. Muir
dock & Co., Camborne, Cornwall. Pow
der of the highest grade was used and
the blast was so successful that up
ward of 100000 tons of rock were dis
placed.
Malaria.
Extensive experiments which have
been conducted by the military author
tiles in Formosa for the purpose of de-
termining the influence of mosquitoes
in propagating malaria show remark
able results. A battalion of soldiers
completely protected against mosqui-
toes during the malarial season for 16l
days escaped the disease entirely.
whereas an unprotected battalion in
the same place during the same line
had 259 cases.
Velocity of Underground Water.
Engineers are familiar with a chemi-
cal method of determining the rate OF
motion of underground water, in which

mon salt from one test we'll to another
Is determined by chemical analysis.

Spring STYLES fer Babies.

RiihJ SAy 49, 0N~'~S'
The selection of the new spring cap
for the baby is quite often as import
ant as the choice of the vernal
chapeau for baby's mamma Even
the woman who has no babies OF her
own is fascinated by the display of
caps which the fashionable morsels
of humanity will wear when they take
their warm weather outings.
For babies who pride themselves Oh
the exclusive elegance of their ward
robe, caps are imported from Paris.
They are of the sherest lawn, finely
tucked, shirred or pulled, trimmed
with dainty embroideries and laces,
and surmounted by coquettish bows of
ribbon-wl.ite, pink and pale blue.
Straight from Paris is cap made
of alternate rows of narrow Valen-
ciennes lace insertion, still narrower
bands of embroidery and wider bands
of finely tucked lawn. There is a
little circular crown of the lace and
embroidery insertions which is Joined
to the front with a little frill OF mar
row Valenciennes lace. A thick
ruche of narrow lace forms dainty
and fluffy frame about the tiny face;
and the cap is finished around the
neck with a frill of the narrow lace
A fluffy rosette of pale blue narrow
double-faced satin ribbon and baby
ribbon tops the cap with an air OF
chic grace; and bit of bow OF blue
nestles in the frilly lace at the back
of the cap agains the neck. The ties
are of the narrow pale blue satin rib

coud not select a cap becoming to it;

USEFUL COAL TAR.

Even more wonderful than the cotton
industry is the utilization of coal tar.
Only q short while ago this trouble
some hyproduct of gas-making was
considered a nuisance. The efford to
get rid of it has grown into an indus
try which employs more scientific men
in its development than any other. A
tar would be review of the greater
part of the organic chemistry OF to-
day. Coal tar was first distilled in
England eighty years ago, but it was
not until 1856, the date of the discov-
cry of the first aniline colors, that the
industry became an important one.
Now the value of the by-products of
gas-making-tar, Coke and amonia-
greatly exceeds that of the coal burned
in the gas works. The distiilation of
the tar gives a series of products, each
of which serves as starting-point for
long series of valuable articles of
everyday use.
In the United States the tar is
usually distilled into light oil, heavy
oil and pitch. The pitch remaining in
the still is known as soft pitch, and is
used in roofing and paving. Formerly
it was Customary to turn this substance
to, hard pitch, which was sent abroad
to be used in the making of com
pressed fuel; the anthracene oil OBJ,
tanned by this distillation was sent to
England to be used in making alarizin
But it does not pay to make anthracene
in America now. An American has
patented a method of making an arti
fetal asphalt from the pitch, and II
seems not improbable that the asphalt
industry will be reyolutionized by this
! process.
Creosote oil is a coal-tar product
| which, owing to it's extensive use in
| creosoting lumber, is coming into
great demand. OF the refined prod
ucts, benzine is one of the most com
mon. The presence of twenty times
as much benzine in the coal gas al
there is in the tar has led to the intro
duction of a process for removing tn,
! benZine from the gas. Toluene. use,
in making artificial indigo, is also oh
tanned by this process. NaphthaIine i
another coal-tar element produced o.
large scale. 1t is used as a subst
tute for camphor in destroying moths
Another product is crystal carboli
acid, Or phenol, the chief use of whicl
is in the manufacture of picric an,
salicylic acid. Nitrobenzine, nitro
toluene. and other nitro-compound
from coal tar are used in maxim,
colors and explosives. Rectifiet
nitrobenzine, known as oil of myrbane
is used in the manufacture of soaps
| and oils. Aniline oil is made in grea
quantities abroad, and European com
petition in aniline colors is very keen

Guiding perfumes, medicaments, anti
septics, aniline dyes, etc, is remark
