STRENGTH OF SILK.

How the Yarn Is Weakened By the
Modern Method of Treatment.
Silk science Is changing. If the silk
dresses Of fifty years ago are compared
with many Of the silk articles manu-
factured at the present day 1t requires
no elaborate tests to show the superio-
rity In strength Of the older materials.
This usually Is due to the fact that
silk yarns now are frequently treated
with metallic salts, such as tin chlo-
ride, which are readily absorbed, form
Ing insoluble compounds and thus in
creasing the weight Of the fiber. So
prevalent did this practice become some
years ago that even the manufacturers
recognized the necessity of putting
some limit to 1t.
| Apart from the fact that one is buy
! ing a compound of silk with metal
Instead Of pure silk this treatment fire.
| quently causes the fibers to become ten
| der, especially after exposure to direct
sunlight.
From Herr Strehlenert's experiments
of genuine silk as so to SO the strength
of sample of loaded French silk con-
tanning 14O per cent of added material
was only 10. Not only does the weight
ing process reduce the tenacity Of the
fiber and often destroy the dye stuff
but also is frequent cause Of the ap-
pearance Of mysterious spots.
Often bright red spots appear on a
fabric after exposure to the sunlight.
1t has been found that even a diluted
solution Of common salt acts upon load
ed silk in the presence Of air and mois-
ture and produces stains and complete
dislntegration Of fiber within twelve
months. The action of stronger solu-
the tendency" Of the fiber Is marked
after treatment for seven days with q
2 per cent solution.
The presence of salt in stained and
weakened silk may be accounted for
readily by the fact that salt is a con-
stituent Of human perspiration and
thus may have been introduced during
the handling Of the yarns by the work
men,
Special precautions are now taken to
eliminate this source Of injury, and the
disintegrating action Of the tin salts
upon the fibers also is reduced by
subsequent chemical treatment Of the
yarn. So the weighted silks Of to-day

THE CHEROKEE ROSE.
Romantic Indian Legend of This
Beautiful Flower.


There is beautiful romance con-
nected with the Cherokee rose. A
young Indian chief Of the Seminole
tribe was taken prisoner by his enc
mics, the Cherokees, and doomed to
torture, but fell so seriously Ill that it
became necessary to wait for his resto-
ration to health before committing him
to the fire.
AS he lay Frustrated by disease In
the cabin of the Cherokee warrior the
daughter Of the latter, young, dark
faced maid, was his nurse. She fell In
love with the young chieftaIn and,
wishing to save his life, urged him to
escape. But he would not do so unless
she would flee with him.
She consented. Before they had gone
far, impeled by regret at leaving
home. she asked permission Of her
lover to return for the purpose Of
bearing away some memento of it. SO,
retracing her footsteps, she broke n
sprig from the white rose which climb
ed up the poles of her fathers tent
and preserving it during her flight
through the wilderness, planted 1t by
the door of her new home In the land
Of the Seminoles. And from that day
this beautiful flower has always been
known throughout the southern states
by the name of the Cherokee rose
Philadelphia North American.

How to Bone a Woman's Collar.


How to Bone a Woman's Collar.
The collars ON all the waists for wo-s
men are higher than they have been
for years, but, strange to say, they are
not at all uncomfortable, for they are
cut in such a way that the head can
move easily. They are shaped to
comfortable height under the chin and
gradually slope up until they almost
touch the ears, and from here they fol
low the line of the hair. 1t is impos-
slble to keep these collars in place
without boning them well, and these
bones should be carefully sewed in or
else they will dig into the neck when
the head is moved. Collar supporters
can be bought ready to be sewed into
the collar, and any height can be pro-
cured To bone collar properly one
should have five bones, one for the
back and two for each side. The one
for the middle of the back should be
seWed on the right side of the back
and should be sewed straight up and
down. The two highest bones should
be sewed on under each ear and should
be slightly slanted. The bones should
be slanted toward the back, so that
the head can move freely. The small
er bones should be sewed nearer to
the front and should be slanted also.

NEW JERSEY STATE GRANGE.
The Little State Has a Grange Mem
berslip of 24,00O


bership of $4,000.
The good roads question was very
prominent in the discussions of the
New Jersey state grange, which met
at Atlantic City in December. State
Master Gaunt set the ball rolling in
his annual address when he said on
this point: .'In view of the fact that
the means in the farming sections are
inadequate to provide for the proper
road systems, the farmers are now real
izing that the question is not only To-
cal, but national, in it's bearings.
There is a growing demand for na-
tional aid for road building, and the
farmers are preparing to demand their
fair share of the immense sums appro-
priated every year by congress for bet
tering the rural highways" He also
believed that a federal commission on
good roads was demanded He fur
ther called attention to the fact that
the state grange of New Jersey was
becoming powerful influence in the
tural pursuits so that the farmers
products in that state have increased
in value from 100000 in 1900 to
$56,0O0,OOO in 1907.
Nothing but the united efforts of "a
900 grangers in the state. he said, had
secured the appropriation for the state
board of agriculture and the state
commission Of tuberculosis in animals.
He criticised the custom of tinkering
with the game laws. He said that
they were such that even the law
abiding citizen would be liable to
break them because they were con-
stantly changing them for the purpose
Of pleasing the wealthy sportsman.
Among the resolutions adopted at
the meeting were the following: De-
manding that the use of highways for
automobiles be made secondary to
their use by the farmers for their
farm products and that the speed of
motor cars be regulated by stringent
statutes. Another resolution demand
ed that the standard weight of 165
pounds to barrel be set for all tubers
bought and sold in the state 1t ap-
pears that some buyers are now de-
manding 1S0 pounds to barrel An
other resolution called for a change
in the curriculum Of rural schools to
provide for nature study. Mr.. Gaunt
was reelected state master.

round poles about two and one-half or
three inches in diameter. Cut four
pieces the same length to use for the
upright bar posts or standards. In
these bore four or more holes apiece
an equal distance apart. Connect these
standard post holes in pairs with five
or six inch lengths of small round
poles just the right size to fit tightly
into the bored holes. If necessary
shave off the ends bit pointed so as
to drive them into place firmly. AS an
additional security nail each one in
place. Little blocks of wood can be
nailed between the upright poles in
stead of the five inch lengths of pole.
In either case these little bars or
blocks hold up the bar poles. Set the
two connected upright standards in
position and put your bar poles in
place and you have good. tidy set of
bars.
A farmer who has several fields
opening on the highways has each bar
way fitted up with bars like those here
mentioned.
The bars as seen in the second cut
are simply made and very serviceable.
