HOW CALICO 18 HADE.

A Father"* Letter to Situ Little ttlrl.

Mr

DEAR LITTLE DAUGHTER.—Papa

feela sure now that he has a very ioteresting subject to write about to-day. He spent yesterday in visiting the Rockland Print Work*. Print Work* mean, in your words, calico factory. It is but a few weeks since we all sat together in our little room and looked out upon the white cotton fields and saw the men picking the bails from the stalks, and heard the hum of the gin-saws as they tore the lint from the seed. Yesterday papa saw the end of the and the cotton worked into bright calico for dresses, and be Is now seated to write to you about it. Cotton

ttaskfactoryit.

ot woven into cloth here, but only jglit here to have the figures stamped printed on You understand now the is called print works, lie cloth is brought here in the form of unbleached cotton, a yellowish-grey in color, and shaggy.

The first thing that is done to the cloth is to shear off nfi the fine hairy fuzz that i» on it. 'Fids is done by means of revolving shears. This cannot get off all the roughness. The rest is burned off. In the first room where we were, was a huge iron cylinder, white-hot, looking for all the world like a large log just before it is split into rails, all a-flre. Of course lteing iron, it did not blft'/e. Touch a stick to it and it would blaze instantly. Over this burning iron pu*sed the cloth almost touching it. It patted so swiftly as not to burn. As noon as it left the iron, water was sprinkled on it to put out any spark or fiber that might still be burning. The cloth is then scoured and washed thor Roughly. All by machinery no hand touches it. It runs sousing through big tuba, squeezed through rollcrx like the wringers of wawhiug machines. All the pieces arc xtitched together at the ends to form one long strip, which runs day after day without stopping.

After the cloth ia washed and dried two or three times, it is bleached by passing through a xolution of chloride of lime, which makes it white like the bleached cotton of the storen. It in now ready to bo printed. But we are not ready to see it, for we must first go back and see how men get ready to print. In another large building men have leen busy in drawing the patterns. The pattern is ttrat drawn on a large sheet of paper, exactly nine times as large as it to appear on the calico. Next it is enpaved on plates of zinc. juNt the .size of the paper. Only one copy of the pattern i« made on zinc. Thin ta taken to the pantagraph room. The pantagranh is a name dertved from pantn grapho, tliat is, "all things-*-1 write." The pattern in zinc is laid on a desk in front of the pantagraph, and a girl traces the lines of the pattern with a nmooth steel point. This point i» connected by means of the machinery of the pnntiigrAim, with just as many pens as the times the figure is repeated across the width of the calico. What do you think these pens are? Little dhithbmhf like the jewels in a lady's ring. Anything else wear* out too quickly. .lust where these pens with diamond nibs are writing, is placed a large copper cylinder, perfectly smooth and covered with shellac varnish. The diamonds scratch through the varnish and make bright marks oil the copper, just one-ninth the size of the zinc pattern. When one lino of figure 1* scrnu-Jild. Uie rtyliuder Is turned accurately, so that the pens will scratch another row in the right place. As soon as the cylinder is scratched all around, and looks like a copper roller covered with calico, it is taken out and put into a wooden bath tub, filled with a mixture of acids, Now, you see, the use of the shellac varnish. This protects the roller, hut where it Is scratched off by the diamonds' points, the acid bites in and makes deep channels. The varnish is then washed off and the roller is ready for use. It is now carried to the printing machine, where it Is so fixed that it turns round in a trough full of the colors to be printed. Of ermine, the rolier gets daubed all over as it turns round very fast. Now, just above the trough, is «. scraper, which scrapes ilio roller bright «nd clean, only leaving the channels of the pattern full of the color. Right above this is another smooth cylinder of iron, which presses on it like tim two rollers of a wringer.

The cloth which we saw ready to be printed runa between these, and beinij pressed down into the pattern, gets ull the color, and runs out from between the rollers looking like calico. Nd one save a Fiji Islander would wear it. Or it might do for very gay window curtains. Now, 1 will tell you now that is. What we have called color-i* no color nt all It Is the mordant, or what country peopie in dye ing call setting. This setting or mordant does not show itself, and the printers would be in danger *ot making mistakes. So the workmen mix with it wlu*t they call sightcnlng, which is a very bright col or. red, yellow or blue, by which lucy see exactly when and how the pattern is printed. To keep the cloth clean, which is a very necessary thfng. tt Is folded between two strips o{ the unbleached cloth. If this gets anv »lirt or color on it the bleaching tskes ft out l,ioW ron that thi* bountiful* UtOagh r»th^ f&ttdy pattern we saw on the printed cloth as it comes out of the machine has no color in it. The strip goes now to the dyeing room or real dye. wa*h-

who baa been "out to tea." In old fashioned settlements, where the neighbors go "visiting," spending the afternoon, and busy with knitting or some light sewing, it is often suspected by the host* em that her company has come more for the sake of the supper than for the visit. Sometimes this suspicion is very unjustly entertained.

I have myself been very much annoyed by the way in which friends I went to visit allowed themselves to be "cambered with much serving," so that it was almost impossible to h&va any reasonable conversation with them. I like good things to eat when I am hungry, but I fee! almost insulted if that is the only entertainment offered me. I could get something to eat at home, but not my friends' company.

The best visits among neighbors, in my opinion, are often those which are unanounced, and where the visitors do not stay to tea, unless they are sure they are desired to do so. and their staying will not make trouble for the hostess. There is something decidedly vulgar in the great "spread" sometimes made by those who entertain company. So many kinds of cake and sauce—so much indigestible stuff to please the sense of taste and make the visitors ill next day

And yet it is both natural and praiseworthy to wish to treat our friends to something nice in the way of food. Good eating is a privilege as well as a duty. We must eat to live, and so the first question in regard to our food is, whether it will "nourish these frail bodies of ours" as many a man has prayed at the opening of a meal which could "nourish" only by the working of a miracle. Too great a variety is burdensome to both guests and hostess, and it rarely proves the liberality of tlie one who entertains, but showe only too often a love of display and spirit of emulation. There should be enough of every thing, and eaeh dish should be good of its kind, especially the bread and other solid articles.

If we can possibly get a good meal fat our visitors—the guests of an afternoon or a single day—without cooking anything while they are with us which necessitates our absence from the room for much time, it is best to do

We knew

of a case in which two ladies went to pass the day with the newly married wife of an old friend. This wife was so

she devoted herselfso entirely to it that her visitors only saw her at the table while the meal was being eaten, and went away disappointed at not having accomplished the object of their visit, which was to become acquainted with tiieir friends' wife.

When we know beforehand that company is coining, we can have everything ready to set upon the table, and so not spend over half an hour getting supper. The supper ready, it is our part to make our guests feel perfectly free to eat or not of the dishes set before them—to make them feel by our cordial manners, rather than by words, that we like to share our best things with them, and are pleased to have them enjoy them, while we will not make them eat merely to please us, but let us talk about something besides the food. Cheerful conversation at table promotes digestion.

To Secure the Attention of Pupils. The following suggestions will indicate to the teacher the methods by which the powar of attention may be cultivated: 1. Have pupils observe objects closely. 2. Require them always to study with close attention. 3» Read long sentences and have pupils write them. 4. Read quite long combinations in mental arithmetic, and have pupils repeat them. 5. Mathematical Btudiea are especially valuable in cultivating the power of attention.

The following suggestions are made to aid a teacher in securing the attention of his pupils. 1. Manifest an interest in the subject yon are teaching. 2. Be dear in yonr thought and ready in your expression. 3. Speak in a natural tone, With variety and flexibility of voice. 4. Let the position before the class be usually a standing one. 5. Teach without a book, as 1kr as possible. 6. Assign subjects promiscuously when necessary. 7. Use the concrete method of instruction, when necessary. 8. Vary your method a, as variety Is attractive to children. 9. Determine to secure the attention at all hazards.

To the People of Indiana Seven important amendments to the constitution of Indiana have been agreed to by a majority of the members elected to each of the two houses of the General Assemblies of 1877 and 1879, and by an act of the last General Assembly, approved March 10th, 1879, these said amendments are to be submitted to the electors of the State of Indiana for ratification or rejection, at an election to be held on the first Monday in April 1880. The law providing for the submission of these amendments to the electors of the State enacts that "The Secretary of State shall procure ballots of blue paper on each of which shall be printed the proposed amendments, and below each amendment shall be printed the word Tes' in one line, and in another line the word 'No that any qual-

vote for any amendment he shall leave thereunder the word 'Yes' and erase the word 'No' by drawing a line across It, or otherwise. If he intends to vote against any amendment, the word "Yes* shafi in a like manner be stricken out and the word •No' left and if both words are allowed to remain without either of them being so erased, the vote shall not be counted either way." These amendments are designated by numbers, and are numbered 1, 2, 8, 4, 5, 6 and 9, numbers 7 and 8 having failed to receive a majority of the votes of both branches of the last General Assembly. The ratification of each of these amendments is of such vital importance to the future well-being and prosperit}' of the people of Indiana as to justify a special effort in their behalf by every one having these objects at heart. They are mainly confined to the subjects of economy and honest elections.

AMENDMENT NO 1.

Amend section two of article two so as to read as follows: "Section 2. In all elections not otherwise provided for by this Constitution, every male cittzen of the United States of the age of 21 years and upwards, who shall have resided in the State during the six months, and in the township 60 days, and in the ward or precinct 80 days immediately preceding such election, and every male of foreign birth, of the age of 21 years and upwards, who shall have resided in the United States one year, and shall have resided in the State during the six months, and in the township 60 days, and in the ward or precinct 80 days immediately preceding said election, and shall have declared nis intention to become a citizen of the United States, conformably to the laws of the United States on the subject of naturalization, shall be entitled to vote in the township of precinct where he may reside, if he shall have been duly registered according to law."

As the Constitution now stands, no fixed period of residence is required in a town ship or ward before voting, and no barriers against fraudulent voting can be maintained. When this amendment is adopted, one whose vote is challenged will have to swear that he has been a resident of the township 60 days, and of the ward or precinct 80 days, and thus the importation of votes and frauds upon the ballot box may be measurably prevented. No one can object to this amendment who favors fair and honest elections.

AMENDMENT NO. 2

provides for striking out the

simply words: "No negro or mulatto shall have the right of suffrage," contained in section five of the second article of the Constitution,

And thereby conforming the constitution of Indiana to the Constitution of the United States. The prohibition as it stands in the constitution of Indiana today is a dead letter.

AMENDMENT NO

3.

•Amend section 14 of the second article to read: "Section 14. All general elections lihall be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, but township election may be held at such time as may be provided by law. Provided, that the Gen

,al Assembly may provide by law for the

election of all judges of courts of general Jurisdiction by an election

and ar

npellate

to be held for such officers only, at which time no other officers shall be voted for and shall also provide for the registration or all persons entitled to vote."

The arguments in favor of this amendment are mainly those of economy. The cost of holding a general election in Indiana is about tLwO to the county, or nearly $100,000. By thiA amendment the State is saved the expense of double elections on Presidential election year#. But this is not all. The other States of the Union having nearly all changed the time of their elections to November, as long as Indiana continues to vote in October she assumes the heat and Turdett of the Presidential day. In 1876, ?ountingmoney expended and time devoted to it, the October election cost the people of Indiana over $1,000,000. which expense was avoided by the States that did not vote until November. This amendment is clearly in the interest of economy wnd business prosperity. Business hi'the State is utterly demoralised for three months when the State is compelled to bear the brunt of the Presidential campaign.

AMENDMENT NO.

4

amends by striking the word "white" from sections 4 and 5 of article 4, conforming the same to th6 Constitution of the United Btates.

AMENDMENT NO. 5

amends the 14th clause of seetion 22 of article 4 to read as follows: In relation to fees and salaries, except the laws may be so made as to grade the compensation of officers in proportion to the population and the neceaaaiy services required.

This provision will enable the General Assembly to grade the compensation of county officers aad pay them in proportion to the population of the county and the services mqnfoad will the General Assembly the exorbitant

take away from excuse now urged for paying and salaries to rack otto fees officers, which to the«ompensaare out of all porportioo tion given for similar services in'other avocations. We cannot See why it should meet with any opposition from the people.

AMKXOMSRT NO. 6.

The following amendments proposed towlt: Amend section 1 of the ?th article to read:

Section 1. The judicial power of the State shafi be vested in a Supreme Court, Circuit Courts, and such other courts as the General Assembly may establish.

The words "such other courts" are substituted for the words "such inferior courts enabling the Legislature to establish other courts not interior in jurisdiction to the Circuit Court, and to establish a perfect system of jurisprudence which will greatly reduce expenses and at the same time facilitate business.

AMENDMENT NO. 9.

No political or municipal corporation In this State shall ever become indebted, in any manner, or for any purpose, to an amount in the aggregate exceeding two per centum on the value of the taxable property within said corporation, to be ascertained by the last assessment for State and county taxes, previous to the incurring of such indebtedness, and all bonds or olbigations in excess of such amount given by such corporations shall be void provided that in time of war, foreign invasion, or other great public calamity, on petition of a majority of the property owners, in number and value: within the limits of such corporation, the public authorities, in their discretion, may incur obligations necessary for the public protection and defense, to such amount as may be requested in such petition.

If this amendment had been passed SO years ago the State of Indiana would have been $10,000,000 better off to-day. There has been litearily no embargo upon the schemes of plunder which have beset the towns, cities and counties of the State. This provision is designed to protect the taxpayers and limit the amount that may be assessed against them, and to which these municipalities may be burdened with debt.

The Republicans of Indiana are fully committed to all of these amendments, and the better class of the Democratic party also favored them in the last General Assembly. They are all measures of reform looking to the protection of the ballot-box ana to the protection of the taxpayers of the State against excessive buraens. They should each and every one of them be adopted by the electors of the State by not less than one hundred thousand majority.
