Carring Wood by Machinery. The carving of wood by means of | machinery is new claimed to be a practicable process, both mechanically and artistically, the English apparatus for this purpose having, it appears, been successfully introduced, its operation exhibiting admirably the elasticity of motion characterizing the cuttine tool, combined with sufficient rigidity, says an exchange. The tracing pointer and carving tool are mounted on the front portion of a rectangular frame, extending over the machine table, the frame being mounted so that it will rock freely in its bearings, and can be moved in a lino parallel to the front of the machine, and to and from the front and back of the machine table. The back member of the too* frame is in the form of a shaft, on wlfich are freely mounted one or more pairs of guide pulleys for the cutte*" driving band or bands; in slots or guides at the lower parts of the miohine standards is mounted a countershaft, on which are loosely spring \ Is such & trial that men say "Let the house take care of itselL" But the conscientious wife feels bound to risk health and strength In this annual struggle with dust and dirt.

A well-known wheelman, who was also a wag, was recently summoned before a judge in Copenhagen, Denmark, for riding on a footpath leading to Lyngby Church, "You have been cycling on the Lyngby Church footpath?" said the Judge, severely. The cyclist admitted it. "You are fined four kroner." The offender took out the coi^: *ud and laid them down. "May I asfe, Your Worship," he inquired, meekly, "whether Prinoe Waldemar and Prinoess Marie have permission to cyole on the path in question?" The Judge looked uneasy. "Um? no, certainly not. Is this your first offence?" "It is?and will be my last." "In that case," said the Judge, "I will let you off with a caution this time." The culprit picked up his money, bowed and walked off. As he reached the door the Judge's curiosity overcame discretion, and he cried out: "Wait! Did you actually Bee Prince Waldemar and Princess Marie ziding on that path?" "I? Your Worship?certainly not," replied the wag, with a mild look of surprise; and then, with a twinkle in his eye, he disappeared, leaving the Judge to what must have been queer reflections. A Xew York Reporter's Retort. One of the regular Washington correspondents tells a delightful anecdote of the reportorial days of one of the well known editors of metropolitan journalism.

He stationed himself at the head of a stairway to take the names of the ladieB as they passed him to go to the dressing room to take off their wraps and prepare for their appearance on the lower floor. He had been standing there for Bome time, taking notes, when a gay, young damsel, heavily wrapped in furs, lightly tripped up the stairway, and suddenly addressed him. "Ah, be? pardon, sir; are you the footman?" "No, madame," quickly retorted the reporter; "are you the chambermaid ?" ?Washington Post. How It i? Done.

WOMEN'S HATS SHOULD MATCH THE COSTUME. In Millinery the English Styles Predominate?Artistic and Captivating Headgear?Cloth Jackets Greatly Worn. THE latest hats are very English in appearance both in the trimming and shape. Of course, there are plenty of other effects?French, Dutch and all other Nations?but the English leads. Much depends on the selection of n hat that an otherwise perfect costume may not be utterly lacking in eflect, or that the good points of a face be submerged by an unbecoming head- j ,.... . HAT3 OF Tf gear. Black chip straw will be mnch worn; one of French design, called "Henri Quatrc," will be very popular. The Panama is an artistic and captivating hat. Its undulating brim is almost straight in front and stands Bharply erect at the back. Bows of Parma violet velvet and sprays of lilac for trimming. The arrangement of lilac and ivy leaves to fall oa the hair at the back is a very pretty style. The "Coreador" is one of the dainty capelines which will take the fancy of most lor a small hat. It is a turquoise velvet, laden with buttercups and forget-me-nots, with a group of exquisite leaves made o'f finest point de Venise held in front of the brim by a coronet of Rhine stones. Rustic straws wear well, but are only appropriate on occasions. The new sailors are lower crowned than last year. CLOTH JACKETS. Uiotn jacKets are greatly worn young and fairly young women. One <?15 OPEN'-FROXT JACKET. of the newest just reaches to below the hips, has a fitting back, strapped seams, aud quite plain, straight, crossover fronts fastening on the shoulder, and adorned all the way down with a leading novelty?namely, square buttons. Another lately Been is in mastic cloth with white cloth vest fronts, draped cloth bolero, and collar of shot ribbon with outstanding loop bows on each side. Both these have the true Parisian air. One jacket made of two-toned cloth showing tan and ro3e, has the body of the tan and the collar, cuffa and belt of the rose color. It has a double, loose front, with two rows of large while pearl buttons. The back is fitted, while the skirt, forming deep plaits, shows a large box plait in the centre. A strap of the pink is braided with white silk soutache braid and fastens at each side with tiny white pearl buttons, ending each row of braid and thus forming a finish for the back. The collar is very de*?p, slashed I over the shoulders and braided-in de- J sign, as are the cuffs, which have small buttons at each end of the pattern. The sleeves are a full Empire 6hape. A back used in many of these jackets ie in five pieces, the seams being stitched into plaits and the fullness opening into the skirt, a small pearl button tinisniu^eacn plait attne waist I line. STYLISH COLLARS AND CUFFS. White linen collars, both standing and turned-over, are seen on colored shirt waists, while the cuffs are col- [ ored like the shirt. Wash silks, lin- j ens, gingham?, cheviots, lawns and i Swiss muslins are used for these I waists, and there is very little change ! in the cut from last season. The only difference is in the sleeves, which are larger. Women's tailors and men's furnishing stores make a specialty of i custom-made waists. AX OLD-FASHIONED WAIST. It has become quite tho custom with many ladies, says the New York Ledger, to keep on hau l one or two waists of a couple of seasous back and wear them when it is necessary to go out for shopping, driving or other outings, when one is not likely to remove the outside garments. This is so convenient ami agreeable and has suggested itself to so madwomen that it was quite a little surprise the other day when a dozen or two fashionable women met at a public gathering. One of them invited a number of her friends to her house to take a cuu of ten. but one and all had i some excuse. Finally one, more outspoken than the rest, said: "I would be delighted to go, but really I cannot. I am not dressed for it. When I go out without any intention of making calls, I put on a waist with small sleeves, for the large ones are not only uncomfortable but are so easily spoiled." There was a general exchange of glances, and, without exception, every woman who had declined the invitation, said: "IUaII lint io inof fKa +?nnTiln The would-be hostess laughed and insisted on having an old-fashioned tea, a6 she called it, where small sleeves should be the rule, as she herself wore a waist of that sort. It certainly is a great saving to leave the big sloeves at home, a saving in comfort and the wear and tear of [E SEASON. handsome'is^g^t^^^^mcon vencessity.

With the advent of warm weather comes the advent of the low shoe, and with the low shoe the stockings mast be considered. The smart shops are now showing exquisite styles in hosiery. Lace, beads and embroidery all play a part in these design?, making the cost of single pairs of stockings often amount to ten or fifteen dollars. The decoration is, of course, lavished on the instep. There are inserted heart-shaped pieces of laces, outlined with jet; stripes of lace alternating with stripes of jet; and elaborate scroll patterns of lace insertions with jet and gilt spangles. Less fanciful designs are in drawnwork and embroidery, a new effect in the latter being a gay lacing at the stocking's side, giving the effect of a side-laced shoe. The clock is again seen in its old place upon an otherwise plain stocking, and combined ? ?' -J.1 ?i :,i?~ n,? wnu oiuer euiuiuiuci^. j.uc ucncai. embroidery designs are pm-stripes and snow-crystals in gay color upon black. There are also stockings wholly given over to stripes in Roman and Scottish effects. suits of black broadcloth. Among the new suits are those of black broadcloth, a favorite material, by the way, for tailor costumes, and one that will be found extravagantly becoming to almost all women. A perfectly fitted drees of this material is next in elegant style and becomingnesa to a black velvet. A handsome costume is of black and white broadcloth ; has the body, skirt and tops of the sleeves of black; the vest, cuffs and skirt trimmings are of white, the latter arranged in very pretty and attractive fashion. A rose ruching of pinked out broadcloth trims the hem. This ruching is made of one strip of each color, the white being placed next to the dress, the black on the outside and partly concealing the white. The vest is closed with fine cut jet buttons, although crochet and satin buttons are popular. new ruches. All corsages are now cut low, just covering the collarbone, the highdraped collar giving way either to strands of pearls caught with diamond boas (imitations of the real articlo being very effective and very cheap) or "ruches." These latter have also J the advantage of hiding anything like wrinkles. They are getting better and bigger, and are ornamented by bunches of spring flowers. plain skirts the rule. Plain, flaring skirts are still the rule, and the most approved advanced styles are made of camel's liair, serge and fine cloth. Almost all costumes have a second, possibly a third, material in them. It seems to matter but little how the combination is made or what it i6 made of, so long as it if harmonious and put together with stylish effect. TilE FA.NI'Y now SLEEVE.

I MUCH PERIL CONNECTED WITH MAKING GUNPOWDER. Various Processes of Manufacturing the Explosive?Ingredients Used ?How the Powder is Caked and Classified. THE first process, in the powder-making is the weighing ont and mixing of the ingredients. The charcoal and sulphur are puf together in the right proportions and tnor ou^niy puiverizeci by placing them in ewiftiy revolving barrelB or drums with a number of small iron cannon balls. In rubbing against the sides of the barrel and being ground between the balls the mixture becomes homeogenous and very fine. It is then taken out and the proper amount of saltpeter is added. Again the charge goes to the drums, this time copper or zinc balls being substituted for iron, because they are much less likely to ignite the powder. After having been rolled for several hours the workmen take the mass out, and after moistening it a little to prevent accidents, they carry it away in a gingerly fashion to the orushing mills or "wheel houses," as they are called. A wheel house is bnilt with due deference to the explosive nature of 4.1 J? I/Ue puwutu. UCCLUIU^IJ cIWJ tunity is given it to blow everything to atoms. On three sides of the building, which is twenty feet nquare, there are enormously strong stone ' walls varying in thickness from thirty- 1 a;x-to sixty inches. The fourth side 1 and the roof are constructed of light 1 boards so thut if the powder "goes ' off" it will do as little harm as pos- 1 sible. Inside of the inclosure stand j thej^rinding mills. They consist of 1 lagjfe^asins, not unlike small foun- < UpPjffitt'i sloping sides, usually made 1 limestone.

At one^^^Ki4 wheel there ia a busy little HechanicalJM device, made all of wood, aad known ^ to the workmen aa a "plow," which roots tip the powder after the wheel crushes it down. It may be imagined , that the workmen spend as little time J in the place as possible. There is no telling a what moment the whole thing j will blow up. They stand just around ? the corner of the stone wall and dodge { in from time to time?softly in their ^ rubber boots?and moisten up the | charge. In case of an explosion there is an automatic device which will let | a whole tank of water down over the . > i 11 1 j. L; :?U ' wneeiB, tuus iieipmg iu eitiu^uiou wo flames. When the mass is uniform in com position?and the time necessarily varies from eiprht to sixteen hours ? the "mill-cake," as it is now called, is removed and carried to the "breaking-down" machine by means of an endless canvas belt having strips of leather sewed across it. Her6 it passes between two sets of copper j rollers arranged so that they will spring apart if the pressure is too great between them. It shifts from the lower end of the machine like tine dust or "meal" into trucks in which it is trundled away to the powder press, and ordinary hydraulic press, in which the power can be absolutely controlled by a 'movement of the finger. The meal is stacked into the form of a great cheese two or three feet in diameter and three or fonr feet high, consisting of layers of powder one to two inches thick, separated by disks of copper or vulcanite. Then the piston begins to strain upward out of the water, and the powder is reduced nearly one-half in thickness, the cakes being'a dark gray, hard and lusterlesa, strongly resembling a boy's slate without a frame. The degree of pressure given is one of the most important considerations in the process of powder manufacture, the ultimate density of the powder being determined by it, and this in turn determining the rate of combustion. By merely varying the degree of pressure the powder may be made either violently explosive or mild and easy in its actios. Aftlnso a/ nnm/lAli OVA r*ATT ried along on a canvas belt to the corning or granulating machine. This consists of a eeri^g of copper rollers separated by screens of varying sizes of meshe9. After being crushed through the first set of rolls the finest powder falls through the screen and the rest is 6haken on down to the seoond Bet and so on to the end, where i the powder pours from the various screens into trucks. The grains thus obtained are sharply angular and require rounding and smoothing to pre- i vent their fine edges from being ground into dust by the wear of handling and I transportation. While still moist from the corning machines the granu lated powder is put into rolling barrels or "tumblers," where it is revolved from 6ix to twenty-fonr hours. The friction of grain upon grain wears it perfectly smooth. Sometimes the dazing is heightened bv the addition of a minute quantity of graphite, a tablsapoonful of which will impart its peculiar lustre to half a ton of the powder. The last operatiou, drying or "storing," takes place in a long, low room heated to a temperature of 130 to 110 degrees. 1 Gunpowder is classified according 1 to the size of the mesbes through which the grain is sifted. The United * States Government designated it as a 1 musket, mortar, cannon and mam- j moth powder. Some other kinds of powder are cut or molded by pressure * into various shapes and sizes, the grains often being two inches sqaaro. Others for artillery use are the shape ot iron washers and have a iiole in tiio middle. These powders are made * large and pressed more compact so that they will burn with less rapidity. In big guns the use of small-grained powder causes so great au initial strain before the projectile is started that a good deal of force is lost.?
