TO CLEAN WHITE WINGS.
Two Preparations That Will Do the
Work Effectively.

Wings are much more difficult to
clean than are the softer feathers,
such as ostrich and marabou.
You might cover them with a cream
made from naphtha and French chalk
allowing it to dry on for day. and
then brush off. A slight Improvement
from an application OF common starch
can be made with cold water and laid
on very thick
The paste should be allowed to be-
come quite dry, and perhaps this proc.
ess might answer for your wings II
they are not too much soiled.
In regard to the parasol. you might
get rid of the grease spot by laying on
hot French chalk. This will dissolve
and absorb the grease. Repeat the
process If necessary. Next, the para
sol should be opened and then thor
oughly washed with gasoline and
white soap all over it's surface. more
particularly on the soiled places.
Afterward sponge off with clear
gasoline. By going over every part of
the parasol there will be no danger Of
spots or streaks. and gasoline will not
harm it. Keep away from fire or arti-
fetal heat during this process.

APRICOT SOUFFLE Is GOOD.
Easily Put Together After the PURGE
Has Been Prepared.

Half pint OF apricot PURGE, half q
cupful of cream, three whites of eggs.
II tablespoonfuls syrup from the APP
ricots. two heaping tablespoonfuls OF
sugar, squeeze OF lemon juice, three
drops of red coloring. Prepare the
PURGE by rubbing either canned or
bottled apricots through a fine sieve.
Use little of the syrup along with
the apricots and do not make the
PURGE too thick. Dissolve the gelatine
In two tablespoonfuls of the syrup and
strain 1t into the PURGE. Add the SUI
gar, lemon juice and coloring. Beat
the white OF the eggs to stiff froth
and whip the cream. Stir these light
ly into the apricot mixture, and when
beginning to set, pour all into a wetter
mold and keep in a cool place until
firm. When wanted, turn out on a
glass or china dish. This pudding may
be made more ornamental by decorat-
ing the top of the mold with a little
sweet jelly and a few pieces OF april
cot before pouring in the mixture. Or

The manufacture OF needles Is an

made into little bundles. and each end
OF the wire is sharpened at the rate of
hundreds 2 minute by being pressed

At this stage the needles are stu

are soaked in a bath OF hot oil. and
when cool again are quite hard and

process, when, done up in bundles of
thousands, the needles are contin.

FIRST BALLOON
How Montpelier, a Erenchman, Was
Led to Make IL.

The word balloon means "a large
ball" To Montgolfis OF Annonay
France, the invention of the balloon
led to turn his attention to balloon
making from the following incident:
French laundress, wishing to dry
petticoat quickly. placed II on a
basket-work frame, over stove. To
prevent the heat from escaping by
the opening at the top OF the petticoat
she drew the belt strings closely
together and tied them. Gradually the
garment dried, and became lighter,
and as the stove continued to give out
heat and rarely the air concentrated
under the basket-work frame, the
petticoat began to move. and finally
rose in the air.
This SO astonished the laundress
that she ran to her neighbors and
asked them to come and witness the
strange sight. Montgolfier was among
those than came in. The petticoat
suspended In midair suggested great
er things to him. and he returned
home with something to think about
golfer balloon was made June s. 1888.
1t was a spherical bag, consisting OF
pieces Of linen buttoned together, sus-
pended from cross poles. The fire
was kindled under It, and the flames
were fed with bundles df chopped
straw. The loose bag filled out, as
sumed graceful form, and I'm a short
time was completely distended. At q
given signal the stays were slipped
and the balloon instantly ascended.
Its velocity accelerated until It reached
some height. then became uniform and
carried IT to an elevation OF more than
a mile. For ten minutes 1t remained
suspended. then fell gently in a vine
yard nearly two miles distant from the
place Of its ascension.
The first Adventures to make an
ascent In a balloon were M. Pilatre dc
Rozier and Marquis LArlandes. In
the basket OF balloon they, on No
vember Fl. 1888, rose to height Of
about 1000 feet.
