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

A Waggish Wheelman.
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.

addressed him.

How It i? Done.
The simple reason why the hurts of prize
fighters show no sign and disappear so quickly
is because in the treatment of training the
fiesh is hardened. They can stand a blow
like the kick of a horse and not show a
bruise. Other men's bruises heal slowly, but
if they would use 8t. Jacobs Oil, they would
find there's nothing in the world like it to
heal and restore. It acts like magic. All
athletes should use it. It's the great renovator.
The same with cuts ana wounds, if
used according to directions, it will heal
surely and make the parts sound again.

THE latest hats are very English

"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

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.

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.

leave the big sloeves at home, a saving

JfEW EFFECTS IS STOCKINGS.
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

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.

RISKY BUSINESS. 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

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- <

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 ^

charge. In case of an explosion there

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.

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.?
