Homemade Cloth of Many Kinds

Homemade Cloth of Many Kinds
 Scraped Horn for Hats.
 We had one cotton mill to spin the warp. The people stood in line to get a bunch of cotton for warp. The fill- ing was yarn, cotton, flax and tow. We got our dyestuff from the forest; it was almost as bad on timber as the tanbark trade is now. There was great rivalry among the women to see who could have the prettiest dress l have a quilt made of cotton and linen, called a "Confederate' quilt.
 The clothing for every member of the family was made from the raw ma- terial, carded, spun, woven, dyed and made with homespun thread.
 The tow linen cloth had one peculi- arity. It was a great stretcher. It was often exchanged for other things. A man and his wife started to town with cloth sufficient to get some articles. On the way he remembered he needed girnlet also. He told his wife. They decided to tie the ends of the cloth tc two saplings, he to stretch a gimlet out of it.
 I took great interest in the silk in- dustry We fed the worms on mul- berry leaves and such beautiful silk we did have-a bright stripe in a cot. ton dress made it very fine A family made gloves, beautiful silk mitts, with bees embroidered on the back. Moth ing went to waste. The thorn trees furnished us pins and hairpins. Oul millinery was our crowning effort Hats were made of cotton threads crocheted, put on a block, stretched very stiff and ironed, then wired; we had homemade flowers and all kinds O material for trimming. A cloth frame made stiff,and covered with scrapec cows horn was much admired, if i did look like cocoanut cake.-Char. lotte Observer.

 The nnan-eater at this time had. de- veloped a remarkable power of scent. A dead animal half a mile away could be traced up the wind or current with marvellous quickness and fidelity.

The spectacle of a shark of extraordinary bluk darting about in so cratic a 1 manner was taken by some as menac- ing, and they resented it in various ways.
 It is not to be supposed that he had gained any idea of locality. He haunt ed this region merely because he had certain limitations.

After a couple of weeks service in this division. running on all lines. the new employee is sent to all others in turn, running at first with an experienced man on each line not less than five hours. Thus he be- comes familiar with conditions on every line in the city and can be used in any emergency.
 For the first thirty days of his actual service the motorman runs only on cars equipped with hand brakes, at the end of which time he learns the intricacles of air, under the instruction of an ex- perienced man. This he follows when off duty until recommended for a third trip. If he makes good he gets an air brake ear.
 Always under the watchful eye of his superiors, the new man is also closely observed by the motorman first in- structing him for the period of from six months to a year after entering the service. This teacher has orders to see if his former pupil thoroughly under stands and follows his instructions and to assist him whenever necessary.
 From two to three weeks is occupied by a new man in preliminary instruc- tion from the time of his application for a position until he begins to run a car, and after that he finds some thing new every day as long as he stays in the service. Of the large per cent of candidates who fail to reach the front O. K, many fail because of inability to judge distances. Others are prone to lose their heads on being confronted with Instructions or when their brakes fail to work; they can't meet emergencies.
 Many experienced motormen apply daily by letter or in person for service in Denver; men from all parts of the country, for the local company has a good reputation away from home among street car employees. It is said that any nlotorman or conductor with good clearance papers from the Denver City Tramway can get position any where in the United States, so well rec ognized are the merits of the school it conducts and the efficiency of the employees trained therein. The local management, Dy the way pFelSTS Lu educate a good healthy farmer boy right from the start, rather than to accept motormen of years experience who have been less carefully trained by some other company.
 There are now about 300 motormen in the employ of the Denver Tramway Company, which has averaged to break in about 100 new men a year for the last two or three years. This large number is accounted for by the fac that the service has been rapidly in creasing, instead of being made neces sary by the retiring of old employees Few men leave the company, a mucl smaller percentage of loss being re
 corded than in other local industrie employing similar large forces. . It Is the policy of the company t retain it's experienced men in order t maintain the highest standard of effic iency, and it is only. the most efIlcien who are able to stand the severe tes in the local school for motormen.

NOVEL
CHURCH
BUILDING

A steel and wire-glzss church has
been designed by an architect Of Des
Moines. Ia. for the Methodist society
Of that city. In place Of a spire of
tower the main architectural feature
Of the design is a large central dome.
The entire outer wall and dome is to
be Of opaleseent wire glass in a steel
frame, consisting really Of W. walls
IN foot center to center, with an air
space between them. The advantages
and some Of the details OF this STYLE
Of construction are stated as follows:
Its cost is less than good pressed
brick eonstruetion-1O to % per cent
less.
A soft difussd hight enters the build
ing through the walls
Il is fre-resisting to a practical de-
gree, and is easy Of repair; new plates
can be set as easily as re-glazing q
window.
The glass is elamped in position or
cushions Of ~asbestos-felt. with proyi-
sions for movement Of an inch at each
division, which viii allow Of unequal
settlement without apparent evidence
either inside or outside.
It will not weather-stain or absorb
dust.
1t is simple in construction; the YER
teal divisions (four feet apart are
made Of two steel angles at outside and
also at inside surface Of wall laced,

The eiampiug bar Is Of wrought
bronze Of half-ciFele form, and is suf.
heiently stiff to be a nutloek prevent
ing vibration from releasing the bolts
with which the elamping bars are held.
