JAPANESE SILK IS REVIVED Chemical Piioc?H Hu Been Dlsoov* ?red That ?trangthens the Fabric ' end Facilitates ?pinning. According to the North China Dally News the ladles of America and Eu< rope arc to have the restoration of the j popular Japanese silk fabrics In large j supply and greater beauty than ever i before. It Is cjaltned that an expert connected with jthe Fuji Spinning com pany has discovered a chemical proc ess which will be a great boon to the spinners and also to the admirers of Japanese silk. While Japanese sericulture was yet In a primitive condition no chemical was used to sdften tbe cocoon before It was spun luto thread. Later the spinner succecded In getting out1 a thin, soaplike substance, which ful filled the long-felt want with some success; but*the difficulty was that It weakened the fabric and took away the natural luster. Thus Japanese silk has been steadily losing the popularity It once enjoyed and Its market has from time, to time been encroached upon by the Italian product. Mr. Tnouye has now bit upon a meth od of strengthening the elasticity and strength of the fabric, and at the same time greatly facilitating the spinning Into thread. One more bene fit from this process will be that man ufacturers will be able to obtain 16 per cent, more produce than by tbe old-fashioned way. Furthermore, the new substance has an antlgerm and anticorrodlng effect, and will not Injure the hands of oper atives. Some time ago an American Is reported to have discovered a chem ical compound which would preserve ?silk; and this Is said to be something similar In composition to the Japanese invention. OYSTERS RODE IN TAXICABS They Were From France and New York Frenchmen. Craved Them for Dinner. B. L. Bowles Is an express agent of unusual patience. He spent the last day of tbe year cold, but hopeful, on the French line pier, answering tele phone calls from three French restau rants, and merely smiled when, for* the thlrty-flfth time, a chef asked about "the oyster." "Please, La Lorraine, where is he with the oyster?" said the Impatient chef. "Sho la still down the bay," said Bowles. "I think she will be here be fore six." "What Is It the diners will do If the oysters do not come?" When the chefs called up again Mr. Bowles had n<$ time to answer. He was busy with the customs officials ar ranging for the release of the oystera, which were In sacks. "Are thede thinga brought here for breeding purposes?" asked the Inspec tor. "No," said Bowles. "They are French oysters, called 'marennes vertes,' for eating purposes. There are about two hundred Frenchmen in this town who want to eat these oys ters tonight with their New Year's dinner. I've got 200 dozen of them and three taxlcabs are ready to take them to the restaurants." At 7:25 p. m., when the taxlcabs had gone north with the oysters, Mr. Bowles went into a booth and talked to the three chefs at once. The thanks that came simultaneously over the irtre were too profuse and mud dled to permit of translation. ? New York Tribune. Novel Way to Rett. It seems Imperative for a certain member of the family to rest an hour after the noon meal each day. The weather had grown mild, and to draw the shades so aB to exclude the light kept out the air also, so the siesta lost much of Its Refreshing quality. A thick pad of absorbent gauze some eight inches long and four Inches wide was finished with an elas tic band Just tight enough to hold the pad securely. This was slipped Into place over the eyes. Days when the eyes burned or ach* ed a compress wet with cool salt and water was placed under the pad, and eyes and nerves were soothed at the same time. By the last named means the eyes were strengthened and the crow's feet Indicative of eye strain were ironed out. ? Harper's Bazar. Dead Slang. Is there anything so dead as dead slang? It must be quite fresh, or it offends the nostril, And no one should talk slang without the assurance that it is both infantile and immortal. John Galaworthy Is modern. And In "The Han of Property" he produces the slang expression of the eighties. "A . daverdy woman," It is a term of oon tempt for a weman. But is there any one born 4h the eighties who could explain that slang term, or remem tors it? You must get your slang fresh ? there Is little of it that stands the tinned preservation. Justifiable Suspicion. *1 guess I must be getting old.** "Why do you think so?"

Man on the Wire Kathleen stirred uneasily In the big chair by tbe Are. A fitful wind bad blown up to disturb a caliu twilight. Tbe girl glanced up at the cloek and stilled a sigh. Her parent# would not return for another two hours and Kathleen had begun to feel the lone llness of being In a house In tbe coun try with only a little yellow dog for companionship. ? tiven Mike had grown restless aa he snoozed by the Are and Kathleen watched his little body tremble with inward growls as the creeking of a door or the gentle tapping of branches on the window disturbed his slumber. "Mlket If you were not such a nice little yellow dog I would wish you were a Great Dane or some ferocious beast so that I wouldn't feel ao spooky. Kathleen turned again to her maga zine but the steadily rising wind be gan to play havoc with her nerves and when the telephone clashed a loud ring she sprang from her chair Jh sheer fright. Kathleen went to the telephone but no answer rewarded ber. The number had not been rung, Central Informed her. 8he returned to her chair but before she had seated herself another sharp ring startled her. Again no one had called the number. Kathleen spoke with asperity to Central. v "The telephone certainly rang!" "Probably It Is the wind," came back from Central and Kathleen hung up the receiver. She went to her chair determined not to be disturbed again. Tbe imperious ring did not come but a gentle, regular tinkling of the bell continued. Mike still growled Inwardly but Kathleen became absorbed In her story. Gradually, however, she became con bcIous that while the wind had abated there still continued that maddening tinkle of the telephone bell. Switching on the lights as she went Kathleen made her way to the back, of the house and there her nerves again played her false. A low sound, much as of some one calling, came from the outside world. Mike set up a deafening bark. A distinct "Hello" now came through the window. Kathleen gathered all her courage and peered. out. The light from the room streamed full force on a man's face. "Who is there V she called out. In a semi-conscious way Kathleen's eyes had traveled beyond the man and she saw, there in the great oak branches, that which had onoe been in airship. "I am here ? Just now," came In a weak but deep voice, "I am hanging by my ? belt- ? when that gives out ? " "Oh!" Kathleen had vanished from the window and now with Mike close at her heels she came Bwiftly from the kitchen door. "I will get you the step ladder!" She called to the man. Kathleen struggled there in the moonlight with the great ladder and even in bis almost tragic position Oranger had the power to pdmlv# the rure, swift movement of the little fig ure. It was with a superhuman effort that be managed to get his feet plant ad on the ladder the girl held beneath blm. When he reached the ground he toppled over. "my breath ? It's al most gone? M He lay still for a mo ment and the girl bent over him. "I'll be all right ? in a minute ? when my diaphragm gets to working." He aat up, "You saved my life," he said and looked wonderingly Into her face. "I was out ? like an idiot ? for a short moonlight sail in the air," the man explained. "It was calm When I started but, that wind ? " He cast a rueful ghtn?e at the huge wreck In the tree. "I must have hung by that te&her belt for fifteen minutes. I could* by swinging, touch some wires," A silvery laugh rang out. "You cer tainly did touch some wires." The man echoed her laugh and It Old not seem strange to Kathleen that she was sitting In the back garden with' a perfectly strange man. "It has be^n an experience," Grang er remarked, "but one that I do not oare to try again." "I am forgetting," Kathleen said with quick thought, "that you may be badly in need of ? " "No. no ? that ts toe much to ask ? ? after you have saved my life," Granger exclaimed and arose to his feet Kathleen was silent a moment, then she looked up at the man. "I believe ? I am a little afraid to go back In the house ? alone," ahe said shyly, "and the lire In the sitting room needa another log. They are very heavy logs and them are some fresh dough* nuts In the house and?" "Please . don't say any mom?'* laughed Granger. She continued. "I am going to make some coffee and wait up for and papa ?o that I can hear an about the play." She drew close to Granger. "I hate to do all these things alone.** "I am Tom Granger," he said and kept his voice steady, "and completely at your service." Kathleen smiled and stooped Quick* ly to pick up the little yellow dog. "Mike," the said breathlessly, "tell (Mr. Granger that your name Is Mike tand tha^ you belong to Kathleen Mo* Cottage of H. E.
