REVIEWS ANTIQUE WASHSTAND
Long Islander Sells PIECE Of Furniture
for Witty Cents and Buys II
Back for $40.

An elderly Long Islander once at
tended an auction of old furniture.
Among the articles for which bids
were asked was a heavy marble
topped washstand. The Long Island
er bid ten cents for 1t. and as he was
the only one who spoke the wash
stand was knocked down to him
rather to his dismay, as he had to
have it conveyed to his distant home.
For several years this ten-cent antique
was an occupant of the barn, its mar
Bile top being removed and the interior
Of the stand serving as a receptacle
for cans OF paint.
One day a clerk from a furniture
store in the neighborhood called at
the Long Islanders and accidentally
caught sight of the unappreciated
washstand. He made some inquiries
concerning 1t. and eventually pur-
chased 1t for so cents. The clerk took
his purchase to the store. gave 1t

handsome piece of hardwood furni-

CURRENT WRECKS A BRIDGE
Twenty-seven Big TImbers Are Cut
Through in Ono Day by Aid Of
Electricity.

One of the most ingenious uses to
which electricity was ever put was in
the wrecking of bridge over the Wa
bash in Indiana.
This bridge had been purchased by
the county authorities. who intended
to replace It by steel structure erect
ed on the old piers and abutments.
The owner agreed to remove the
bridge in 80 days.
The chief difficulty lay in the short
time agreed upon for the removal Of
the bridge. Several wreckers to whom
the matter was submitted declared
that It would be impossible within 30
days to pull down the old bridge with
out injury to the piers.
The structure might be blown up
with dynamite. but the explosion
would also destroy the piers. Were 1t
fired, the heat would crack and injure
the masonry of the bridge. The 80
days expired. and an extension of one
week was granted.
The owner was at his Wits end,
when he CHANGED upon an electrician
who proposed. not to blow up the

board and then proceed to fill up the
hole by drawing the wool through and
through over the cardboard until no
more will pass. Cut 1t and tie It be-
tween the two circles and remove
these by tearing them away.
The ball should be sewn on to mar
row satin ribbon, blue or pink, as the
case may be, and to this ribbon
should be attached a quantity OF little
gold or silver bells. which will Jingle
merrily when the ball is swung to and
fro by the ribbons.

Bell Must Be Tuned.

The general impression is that the
tone OF bell is largely matter of
accident. but this is not so. A bell
must be tuned the same as a piano
or any other musical instrument Ev-
cry bell has five sounds. which must
blend together in perfect harmony,
and this is accomplished by shaw
ing down certain parts until the de-
sired harmony is secured. In tho
event of shaving too deep the bell il
not injured. but the tuning operation
is prolonged. as other parts must BIO
operated on and cut away to CORE
spending degree.

exactly the same with every span. Be
tween the turning on of the current
and the fall of the span an hour and
40 minutes elapsed. Then the mass
of timbers fell into the water well In
side the piers. SO that they were unin-
jured.
The cut made by the hot wire was
sharp and clean. and the wood was
not charred more than an inch from
the place of fracture.
The current was first turned on at
about five o'clock in the morning. and
at two in the afternoon the last span
crashed down to the river bed

posal was gladly accepted.
Each span of the bridge was com
posed Of nine chords of three timbers
each. The 81 stills were to-be cut
simultaneously. SO that the span would
drop between the piers into the river
The cutting was to be accomplished
by burning through the wood with
loops OF iron resistance made red-hot
by the passage of the electric current
Fifty-four resistance loops were
heated to wreck each span, and the
spans were wrecked one at a time.
Sufficient current was used to heat the
iron wires cherry red. The result was

Mrs. M A. Hanna, widow of the late United
States senator from Ohio.
Mrs. Hanna's life since the death of her
husband, we may here digress to explain has
illustrated how great is the latitude of life
open to the modern wealthy widow in con-
trast to the circumscribed existence of the av-
erage widow Of prominent official of a CEN
fury ago. who. upon the death of her husband
wont to retire to his plantation or country
seat and live in the utmost quietude II not In
actual seclusion. After the death of her hus-
band Mrs. Hanna lived for time in a fash
fonable hotel in Washington. Then she built
a large house and occupied 1t for tine, later
disposing of 1t to prominent army officer
Next she had a special apartment arranged to
her order in one of the largest of the new ho-
tells in New York. even providing a special
kitchen for Maggie" her Jewel" of cook
Then desiring change, she hit upon the idea

Here In the United States 1t would be DIM

BROWNING a Great TaIker

II Lord HOughton talked more than
most people he certainly was eclipsed
by Mr.. Browning, who spoke louder
and with greater persistency than any
one have ever come across In my life.
Although l had known him as a girl.
We did not renew our acquaintance
until after my marriage, when l saw
q great deal of him, as he constantly
came to our house He dined with us
often and used to come and see me
generally every Sunday afternoon. He
was very agreeable and kind, and, al
though I was never one Of his devoted
followers and often told him 1 had
never been able to read a line Of his
poetry, he still continued his friendship
with me. I think most people feared
rather than loved him-certainly men
did. but women adore poets, and they
worshiped Mr.. Browning From Lady

ployers had sent for me had come to
hunt me up. The captain dismounted,
and l tried to address him In Russian,
but he said. You forget that l speak

credible, and yet it is true. that for a
few moments | was totally unable TO
converse with him In my native tongue

LOADED SILKS.
Tho Way the Fabric Is Adulterated TO
increase Its Weight.

Tho Way the Fabric Is AduIterated TO
increase Its Weight.
If properly handled silk is the strong
est and most durable Of all textile ma
terials. but the various processes OF
manufacture that remove much of the
natural gum cause 1t to lose so large
an amount of its weight that unscrup-
ulous dyers and manufacturers resort
to loading" dipping the thrown silk
into solution of bichlOride of tin,
Some are not content with restoring
the original weight Of the raw silk but
''load' IT until its weight Is multiplied
three or four fold. This operation
makes the skeins more valuable. but
1t destroys the durability Of the fila
ments.
Stretching thes threads to their elias
tic limit. so that a given weight will
weave a greater number Of yards. and
steaming to give the material an IN
natural luster are other processes that
prove profitable to manufacturers. but
costly to the consumers and that cause
many people to regard silk as an IN
certain and treacherous fabric. with an
inexplicable tendency to split. crack
and fall into holes. even though pack
ed away in drawers or hanging up.
The use of cheap. inferior and de
structive dyes is another practice
equally injurious and perhaps still
more coramon.-LondOn Family Her
