OF CORN Husks AND CARPET.

Two Grinding Wheels used for Pol
ishing the Teeth Of the Combs.
There are many kinds of grinding
wheels. but, perhaps, as curious as
any is the cornhusk wheel. which 10
used for grinding combs.
The teeth of some sorts of combs.
after they have been cut, still need
to be rounded on the edges, and
smoothed and finished all around,
which could not be done on a solid,
fiatfaced wheel, says the New York
Sun. For this there is required a
wheel of some material that will
work around the edges of the teeth
and also in between them. The corn
husk wheel serves for this purpose
we'll.
For the making of such wheel
dried corn husks are used. They are
laid together and tied in little bun.
dies of dozen or so, the butts all at
one end and the points at the other.
The con-husk grinding wheel is 20
inches In diameter, made up OF such
little bundles of corn husks placed
with their butts against and secured
to the spindle on which the wheel is
TO turn, the husks radiating from Il
all around. When a sufficient number
of bundles OF husks to form the
wheel have thus been placed against
the spindle, the wheel Is compressed,
to make 1t not solid but compact and
give It the width of face required.
The wheel built up in this way of
corn husks is mounted and run by
power. The workman, using water
and powdered pumice stone In the

combs to be ground on table at
hand, and one after another holds the
combs against the wheel. The life of
corn-husk grinding wheel is only
four or Ave days.
Another interesting wheel to be
seen In the shop where they finish
combs is polishing wheel of carpet
covered with muslin. This wheel has

Anybody who wishes to learn the
latest facts ABOUT the Atlantic coast
of Morocco should thank the French
woman whose 1nunificence provided
the means by which these additions
to geographical knowledge have been
made, says the New York Sun.
This lady is modest as well as pa.
triotic. She has not permitted her
name to be connected with the sur.
veyipg expedition that was fitted out
with the funds she supplied. How she
came to ne associated with this geo.
graphical enterprise is a short but
interesting story.
She read in the newspapers one
day that the committee of French Al.
RIGA, private association in Paris
desired to raise fund for the explor.
alton of The Atlantic coast of Morocco
which resulted in sending a number
of exploring expeditions into the in.
terror.
The committee Of French Africa
said that one of the first and most
important things to do was to acquire
more exact and fuller information
concerning the Atlantic coast and the
harbors scattered along the seaboard.
No funds we're available for the pur.
pose.
When she read this paragraph the
patriotic French woman seated her
self at her desk and wrote to the
committee that she would provide the

COOLING DRINKS WITHOUT LIQUOR
From vogue.)

Not the temperance folk alone, but
many of those who do not object to
wines and liquors in the cold weather
! find sumner drinks made from fruit
and water more cooling and there
fore more desirable. Novelty is al
ways in demand and the few recipes
given will be found to meet both re
quirements.
Tea Punch.-While fresh fruits are
! always preferable, canned berries
and pineapple may be substituted.
Steep two generous teaspoonfuls of
tea into two quarts of water for five
minutes. Then strain and add one
pound of lump sugar, stirring until
thoroughly dissolved Crate the peel
of eight good-sized lemons and ex-
tract all the juice. Cut three oranges
into slices. shred one pineapple, slice
five bananas very thin. and hull one
pint of strawberries. When the tea
: is cold add all the fruit and let stand
..
Place cube of ice in the punch bowl,
pour the mixture around It, when
chilled serve in punch glasses. To get
the best results from the pineapple,
peel and remove the eyes, tear apart
with silver fork, reject the cores,
sprinkle with sugar and let 1t stand
on the ice for twelve hours.
A Frencht Punch.-The French are
noted for their delicate and delicious
drinks. A favorite Partisan recipe
calls for five pounds of raisins, FIVE
pounds of dried aplpes, and five gal.
Ions of water. Put all together In a
small earthen jar and let stand I'M
covered for three days, stirring occa-
sional,y from the bottom. At the end
spoonful of sugar and a stick of CHINA
mon in each bottle. Cork tightly and
store in a cool place. The fruits hav-
ing fermented. the drink will keep for
considerable length of time and is
really delicious when served cold. II
is claimed that over $4,000. 900 gallons
of this punch were drunk In France I'm
a single year.
Iced chocolate.-This beverage Is so
generally served hot that the cool
summer drink is far less familiar than
1t should be. When carefully made
and served II is delicious as well as
wholesome, and can be safely recon-
mended for delicate children and e.
derby people. Put one ounce of I'M
sweetened chocolate into saucepan
and pour on it gradually one pint OF
boiling water. stirring all the time.
Put the saucepan on the fire and
stir until the chocolate Is all dissolved
then add graduated sugar to taste
and stir until II begins to boil Cook
for three minutes longer without stir
ring. then strain and cool. add one
teaspoonful Of vanilla extract. bottle
and store in cool place. When need.
