iiAKlNU WALL PAPER.

THE METHOP BY WftlCHT THE COLORS ARE APPLIED.

Vow Ground Color Is Distributed—A "Mica" Coat—Machines Which Print from Two to Twelve Colors at a Time.

Hand Printing. The paper on which the designs are printed manufactured especially for tills purpose, and is of varying weight. It is received in large, heavy rolls, resembling the rolls of paper used in newspaper offices. This paper is first passed through the "grounding" machine, where the ground color, be it light or dark, is applied to the surface of the paper by rollers, and then is rubbed in and thoroughly distributed by means of a set of brushes, some of which move from side to side, while others are stationary. Some of the improved machines can apply this ground color to two rolls at the same time. If it is desired that the paper shall have the silvered appearance seen in some papers a "mica" coat, as it is called, is applied. This coloring matter is pulverized isinglass mixed with white lead. The colore of this mixture cannot well bo shaded, and, therefore, in such cases tho differences in shade are made by using paper of different colore.

After the ground color has been applied the roll of f»aper is placed on a framework and is slowly unrolled, and then carried ou an endless band over a large drum, resembling the cylinder of a printing press. The machine on which the paper is printed, in fact, resembles very closely a cylinder printing press, except that tho process of printing is reversed the paper passes over the drum or cylinder, and the designs are printed by the rolls, which are placed on the lower part of the framework and revolve in the tame direction OH the' cylinder. Each roller is stamped witli a different part of the flguro forming the general design to bo produced, and each of these portions of the design is printed in a distinct color.

APPLYING THE COLORS.

The colors are applied to the printing blocks or rolls by an endless band of muslin passing through a tank filled with tho color for that jKirtieular block. As the band covered with the color passes from tho tank it travels over or beneath a piece of metal having a toothed edge, technically known as a "doctor," and all superfluous puint is removed, running back into the tank. The printing rolls are so adjusted that each portion of tho design is closely joined together, producing a harmonious effect These printing machines print from two to twelve colors at tho same time. Tho colors are prepared by a special process, so that they do not ''run" or blend. Tho heavier shades are applied last, as a general thing, though tho arrangement of the colors and tho printing blocks depends in great measure upon tho design which is to bo produced.

After jmssing over tho cylinder the printed paper is carried to tho dryer on an endless chain. This dryer extends tho whole length of tho factory, and by an ingenious arrangement tho endless chain carrying tho paper passes around a pillar and returns to tho other end of tho room. As the paper passes off from tho cylinder it is caught up at intervals of about eight feet on wooden sticks callod "carriers." Those sticks are moved along by little projections on the encHii.s chain, tho paper hanging in 10060 loops or folds between the "carriers." The pspar is carried along for a distance of 200 or :.)0 feet over coils of steam pipe, and thus is quickly dried. After hanging for a length of time, vaying from six to twenty-four hours, tho paper is token from tho carriers and laid in a dry room, where it remains until tho drying process is thoroughly complete. It is then taken to another room, where, by ingenious machinery, it is rolled in lengths of marketable size.

A COAT OR NNONZK POWDER. If it Is desired to apply a coat of bronao powder to make a figure, tho figure which is to IKJ thus treated is stamped on the pap IU. it passes through tho printing machino with a hoavy coat of varnish. Then, after passing once over the coil of steampipo in order that tho other colors may lie dried, the paper is sent through a long air-tight, box, in which this bronze "dust" is sifted over tho surface from i*rfornted tray, and tho papor then pusses around tho end of the traveler and back over the hot air or steam pipes.

The finest and most elaborate designs, however, are printed by hand. Each color must be stamped separately, and any ona can at oneo distinguish i«ipcr that is printed by hand from that printed by machine. In the former at one of tho margins will be found, at distances of about eighteen inclfrs, fine lines or dots containing the colore forming tho design. These are tho marks guiding the mon in their work of stamping the pattern. Tho block or die for each separate portion of tho pattern which ts to lie printed in a certain color is eighteen inches in length. Tho workman presses this die upon pad covered with the color, and then places it ujxn tho paper as it lies on the table in front of him, taking 0x1) tlmt tho guide at the edge of the die joins tho mark left on the margin of tho paper. Placing a swivel over the block, lie presses a lever with his foot, thus stamping tho form of tho die on the jvipcr. A boy attendant spreads tlje paper on a rack, where It is permitted to dry, and it is then taken to another machine, where tho same proctws is gone through in printing another portion of the design in another color, and this process is repeated in some instances a doam or more times, until tho en tiro design, in oil its more or loss harmonious Wending of colors, is prod ami. —New York livening rost. \V*»«»lt\v Women Addlctwl to Brink.

EXCESSIVE USE OF CONDIMENTS.

Disastrous Itesnlts From Improper Selection and Preparation of Pood. How can any thoughtful observer doubt that indigestion, through improper selection and cooking of foods, brings ill-temper, then enfeebled will power, and consequent weak resistance of temptation, grossness, immorality, intemperance, insolvency, divorce, infanticide, suicide and all the calamities of society? What mother will not shudder at such a legion of devil3 profaning the fair temple of her child's body by their occupancy, and what effort should seem too hard to avert such sad possibilities?

Do I exaggerate?^ I hope I do but I am sadly familiar with tho history of ono lifo that went out in shame and pitiful weakness, as a confirmed opium eater, whose appetite was created and stimulated by the food prepared for her mother's table, the mother who would have died for her, and who sits to-day in her mourning gown, grieving for her only daughter! Rich food, the excessive use of condiments, wines—this was the testimony of herself, her husband and her physiciansproved the boginning of her ruin, whilo her brother, with the samc surroundings, subject to the same temptations, was unharmed by their influence. Wo call such a circumstance "an accident but behind tho seeming accident which harmed' one and left tho other unscatlicd, are subtler reasons connected with tho physiological phenomena, tho mysteries of which man 13 slowly learning to respect.

I watched tho strgglo between her womanhood and the serpent which had ensnared her, and it was pitiful I At times her broken, enfeebled will would assort itself, and I dared liopo wouid triumph, but soon tho wandering oyo, the restless manner, tho agonizing craving which bumod, sho said, "liko tho tcfrtuvo of the damned," would return, and at last her bravo brain, which had borno tho strain for fifteen years, crumbled and fell in ruins about tho foot of one woman who could hold her soul in thrall with the music of her voice as sweet as the song of bird's with a woman's soul in it, and tho story of her lifo was told.—Good Housekeeping.

Purl** Method of Street Transportation. A system of transfer from one lino of buses to another is also a feature of tho Parisian method of street transportation. A person wishing to travel by bus to any givon point may not find a lino of buses going his way. Ho then takes a line which crosses some line which in turn crosses another lino which goes to tho neighborhood which ho wishes to reach. For a single fare h© can transfer himself from ono lino to another until ho roaches his destination. Wherever these lines, which work together under what the Parisians call the correspondence system, cross each other, there is an omnibus station.

When a passenger wishes a transfer ho goes into tho station and receives a chock bearing a number. When tho bus which he desires to take comes up an oflieial calls out as many numbers as there are vacant seats in the vehicle. The numbers which ho calls are always those in tho hands of the passengers who havo waited the longest at the station. When tho bus is "complet" it does not stop at the statiou. New comers have no chance uiv til those who liavo taken advantage of tho correspondence system are all served. An American friend of mine could not for some little time understand this system. "Why," said he, "whenever you go to one of these bus stations and try to got on they have a kind of a lottery and call off numbers. If you strike the combination you get a ride. Otherwise you stop 011 tho curb."—Paris Cor. New York Times.

Revival of an Old Fanhlon. The White House bride has not exactly started a curious fashion, but sho has revived an old one. Among tho many odd trinkets that formed port of her trousseau was a live bug about an inch and a half in length, looking like a bit of light, speckled wood. Around tho insect's body is a tiny gold harness, to which is attached a fine chain. The lady fastens this chain to her left shoulder, and the bug wan.lcrs about at its own sweet will. This specks of bug is called the "Machette," and is imported from Yucatan. They were a fashionable ornament some twenty or thirty years ago, and now that Mrs. Cleveland wmrs one tbey havo again sprung into popularity. Several of our leading jewelers are selling tho "Macbettes* as fast as they can import thorn at the rate of $8 apiece. They are said to bo deaf, dumb and blind, and subsist on scraps of dead wood. Deaf, dumb and blind! What wonder the "Ma* •bette" is chosen as a chaperon! And lives ou dead wood, too: promise of future secrecy. —Philadelphia Time*.

FOlt EMERGENCIES.

A SHELF AND THE THINGS THAT SHOULD HE KEPT THERE.

Bemedles That are to be Beady for Sadden Sickness»A LI*t of Medicines and Their Us*»—M ucilage, Cement,

Shoe Polish, Eli.

If there is anything that adds to one's comfort in an emergency, it is a cloeet shelf prepared for emergencies. That is clear. Accidents, nervousness, sudden pain, midnight onllo for help, parcels that want doing up, broken crockery or ornaments, all find a ready answer to their calls on this carefully prepared shelf. It is so easy to prepare and keep in order, can be small or large, as one decides to confine its contents to a few things or enlarged t? many. I intend to give a list for the smallest one that I think it advisable for any one to keep, be she keeping house or boarding.

First of all como tho things that are(to be ready for illness, sudden or otherwise: Camphor for faintness, headache or a sudden attack of diarrhoea, although for the latter there is nothing equal to a tablespoonful of raw flour in a glass of cold water, to be taken in two doses half an hour apart. A closely covered little box of raw flour is easily kept on the shelf to be often renewed, lest it get musty. A small tin can of flour and mustard, mixed in equal parts, ready to mix into a paste for a mustard plaster, is to me a pleasanter arrangement for a hastily required mustard plaster than the "mustard leaves" ready at the drug stores. In a little box beside this can should be old linen and cotton rag3, for tho other half of the plaster, as well as for cuts and bruises also a strip of flannel a "finger" broad and three-quarters of a yard long, to bo put upon tho outsido of a cotton cloth, several times folded and wet in cold water, for a compress for a sore throat. Keep your case of court plaster in this box of rags, and a spool of white linen thread, both conveniently near the necessary pair of small scissors.

Camphorated oil, which is best when made at homo by dissolving camphor gum in warm olive oil until no more will dissolve, is invaluable in sore throats or chests or a cold on tho lungs. Rub in well and there will be no cold taken afterward, as there is after the old-fashioned "goose grease." Vaseline is good for this purpose also, as well as for many others that every one knows about. There is nothing for chapped hands equal to glycerine and tincture of hydrastis, fifteen drops of tho latter to an ounce of glycerine. Wash the hands in warn water thoroughly, and before wiping rub in a little or good deal of tho mixture, according to the need.

VARIOUS OTHER REMEDIES

Tannin, a dry, greenish powder, is a great comfort where a sudden severe nose uieeu occurs in the family. Once snuffing it up well into tho nostrils generally ends the trouble. Tannin forms, with water, a good gargle Tor soro throat, as it is a healing astringent. It is the best thing for severe chafing, especially for infants. The effect if almost magical. Extract of hamamelisis another indispensabla for this emergency shelf. It is really good for nearly all tho ills mentioned oa the wrapper of the bottle. An excellent way to get hamamelis is by the quart, and it is tho cheaper way. On principle, my emergency shelf always holds olive oil, alcohol and ammonia. Hot summer days and headaches find me grateful for my bay rum bottle. I quite forgot to put arnica in my remedy list, although it is decidedly second to tincture of calendulu for cuts or wounds. Both are to be diluted with water when used.

It is very pleasant to turn from the above list and point you to my mucilago bottle. How many times you will use it if convenient on its shelf. Next it should stand a bottle of stratina, or one of its relations in the cement family. If Clytie's head comes off, or tho butter dish cover breaks in two, or your favorite china cup gets into so many bits that it will only do for an ornament after a vigorous use of the cement, you will be glad of the remedy. A bottle of shoe polish or a box of shoe paste is a handy thing when one dresses in a hurry. Last, but not least, comcs a ball of twine. If you are fortunate enough to possess a silk bag, with pretty ribbons and a pair of scissors, to hold your string ball, it is delightful. Otherwise, a lall on the end of tho emergency shelf will savo much hunting for strings and much vexation of spirit.—Juniata Stafford in Good Housekeeping.

An Authority on Jack Fishlnjf Upon one occasion an illiterate relutive of Mr. Jefferson, who hail long refrained from thrusting his rusticity upon his celebrated kinsman, though all the while extremely eager to see him, was prevailed upon to visit Monticello. Ushered into the drawing room, he was introduced by the host to the assembled company, and during this performanco be slipped up several times on the well waxed floor, his awkwardness being, of course, overlooked. Then seating himself in a stiff, embarrassed attitude, ho kept perfectly silent. After chatting with several persons Mr. Jefferson took a seat beside him and endeavored to make himself very entertaining. Ho touched upon a variety of topics, as was his wont, or until he got a theme suited to the tastes or abilities of his interlocutor but all in vain, for the embarrassed relative remained as dumb as an oyster.

At length, in despair of drawing a word from him, Mr. Jefferson happened to ask him if he was fond of Jack fishing. The countryman's eyes snapped, and he i».: :iecliately poured forth a garrulous budget in regard to,his favorite sport, to all of which Mr. Jefferson, amused as were the others present, listened attentively. When he had ended Mr. Jefferson opened up eloquently on the same subject, and displayed such an intimate knowledge of Jack fish that tho countryman was held spellbound, and as soon as the great signer stopped he rushed for his hat and bolted from the house, despite the most persuasive entreaties for his re-entry in the "octagonal" room.—Baltimore Sun.

The Lawyers Great Procrastlnatora. If I was called upon to select the greatest procntstin&tors in the world, I would sclcct the lawyers. They wait until the last moment, and then come rushing in to do something when tbey know they arc too late. Tbey then storm around because they are not allowed to do something that they know they have no right to do under the rules of the court and the laws of the state. I believe if the courts were kept open until midnight nine months in the year, you would find soinc of these lawyers rushing in at 12 o'clock to file

a paper that shook) have been filed two weeks before. Many of them wait until the last day and the last hour of the term with their stipulations and motions, when tbey appearand confuse the records and upset all previous calculation*.—Circuit Clerk in Otobe-Demo-crat.

flie tuck or "Booties' Baby." Concerning the most popular of her stories, "Booties' Baby," which, under tho titlo of "Mignon," introduced her to tho American public in Harper's Bazar, Mrs. Stannard says: "In September of '831 wrote "Booties' Baby," but it was rejected by several leading magazines to which I sent it In disgust, I threw it aside, and it was not until some months after my morriago that my husband unearthedit and asked mo to read it, and insisted on my sending it to Tho Graphic. I think I politely offered to send it to paradise, as being a place about as likoly for it to find acceptance. However, ho provod to bo right, and in August, '84, it was accepted by Tho Graphic for uso the following spring. By-tho-by, wo were coming out of tho gardens at Harrogato with a friend one August afternoon, when a groom on horseback passed us, leading two other horses. My husband said, 'Ono of those horses has cast a shoe,' whoreupon I turned back promptly and picked it up. When w«. reached our lodgings I found awaiting mo tht letter of acceptance from tho editor of Th« Graphic. There may bo nothing in it, but tho shoe hangs in my hall at this moment."— Harper^ Bazar.

An Individuality Snnk In Servitude. It is interesting to speculate in regard to tho individuality of men who pace the sidewalk in front of several popular business houses in Chicago. I saw one this week who was arrayed in a startling livery, with appropriate hat and gloves. Ho had, however, at that moment forgotten his role of impassive dignity, and tho real man had come to the surface. He grasped the slender iron pillar which supported the awning with one gloved hand, while his left log was wound round and round it liko a r.pceics of vine. But none of the others havo ever lapsed from their cast iron rectitudo. There is one who looks like human moth in his suit of grey. I imagine him jerking off tho long-tailed coat and sill: hat when ho goc3 homo to hi3 family at night, kicking thorn into a corner as ho exclaims, "Lio thorp, emblems of servitude. I'm myself now, and not nn automaton. I can walk, talk and think liko other men!" But perhaps ho does nothing of tho sort. IIo possibly takes prido i:i his professional costume and thinks that nono look upon him but with admiring envy.—Cor. Chicago Journal.

The Committee 011 Social Science. Somo time since the following query from Toronto was respectfully submitted: "Does our mental progress keep pace with that of other nations?" The query was given to the committee on social scicnco for investigation, and Professor Ilackensack Johnson, chairman, now begged leave to report. The committee had kept their eyes open and their tongues going. They had discovered tLat where ono work on history or scienco was sold 10,000 fly sheets of somo new lovo rtory were thrown upon tho doorsteps of as many houses and oagerly read by tho mother and her daughter.

They had found that for every ono book of solid reading carricd homo by an adult T«),000 boys purchased dime novels relating to Indian slayers or "Old Sleuth" defectives. For every schoolbook in America there were fivo novels. Where one woman read her Biblo 100 read a story paper. Tho committee were therefore of the opinion that "sho does," and thoy asked to bo discharged from further consideration of tho subject.—Detroit Free Press.

Tho wretch was trying to get 011 the back of a cow to feast himself off tho living flesh! Of courso tho cathedral rocks and tho other grotesque forms which nature has chinoled out of some of tho cliffs were interesting, but I havo seen a dozen places in New Mexico which to mo were more interesting.than this renowned spot.—Chicago Advance.

Professional Killers arc All Blondoa. During a dozen years' residcnco in Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming territory and Old and Now Mexico I havo run across about all the noted "bad men" and profesional killers of tho west One singular fact has struck mo concerning them.

About rfxtyof ttw court nftt worn «t the jwfttlMl torn wqvkM for

Girl Carpenters.

In a Boston school for housekeeping, or kitcbengarden, as it is called, girls are trained in the use of light tools. Many a time girls and women have need of such knowledge. There was once a man learned iu Latin and Greek and logic. He was a very learned man indeed. His wife had not much Latin and Greek in her head, but she had two very clever hands and plenty of common sense. When a neighbor's pig rooted aboard off the garden fence and got in and ate the sweet potatoes, Professor Latin did not know how to nail tho board on again after piggy was driven out But Mrs. Latin, clever soul, took two or throo nails in one hand and a hammer in the other and marched out to the broken fence. A few blows of the hammer, mid it was as good as new. That came of title lady's having been brought up in a practical way and learning how to use her hands.

In the Boston kitcheugarden there are sets of small carpenters' tools. The girls are all taught to saw, plane, fit boards, drive nails, and do other things. Small wooden articles thoy can make for themselves very wolL

One girl became FO interested in this clean, pretty woodworking that she made a bandsome writing desk for herself, all with her own hands.

THE DESK SHE MADE.

This clever girl was oidy 14 years old. The desk was of oak, very hard and solid. She fitted the parts exactly together, finished it off neatly, and then polished it till it shone liko a mirror. H»:r mother and father were right proud of their handy daughter, and sho had good right to be proud of herself.

When this girl has a homo of her own, or when sho goes to live in somebody else's house, she will bo a very useful member of tho family. In every household there ought to be a set of light tools for tho women and girls, and they should bo taught to uso them. Thoy should learn to keep them sharp and free from rust as well. A small sot of soldering irons should lie added. Then girls would no longer be the helpless creatures so many of them ai-o. Girls should loarn tho use of tools, and boys ought to know how to sew buttons on and patch and niond liko sailors. Then both would bo fitted for practical needs.

There Li hardly a day in tho household that something does not break or get out of repair. The girls who can 1130 took will not have to wait till their fathors or brothers come homo to mend it Neither will thoy bo obliged to be constantly sending for a carpenter to mend cuplo:ird doors and make smull thingu. Considerable expense would be thus saved by tho girls, who were clevci enough to drive nail.

TRYIIfO TO DRIVE A NAIL.

Here is a picture of a woman who never leanied to drive a nail. See how awkward sho is and how she is crying out with pain becauso sho hammered her thumb instead of tho nail Sho was never taught how to hit the nail upon the head when sho was a girl. Now people make fun of her efforts to do it, and laugh when she hurts her lingers. My dear girls, don't let tho boys and men make jokes over you in this manner when you bocome women.

Mrs. Sallio Joy White has made a list of tools and supplies that ought to bo in every family for the girls to use. She says there should be a saw, a hatchet, two screw drivers, largo and small, two gimletB, one or two sharp jackknives, a pair of largo shears, hammer, large and small, und a mallet. There should be, likewise, an assortment of books and of nails of different sizes, from large spikes down to small tacks, not forgetting a supply of braa* hooded nails, some large and some smalt Screws, also, will bo found very convenient The noils and screw! should be kept in a wooden box, with divisions or partitions to separate the various sorts, for it is very troublesome to select them when all mixed together. No house should be without glue.

:k gome Great Men Who Worked. Ashamed of work, boys—good, hard, honest work? Then I am ashamed of you—ashamed that you know so little about great men.

Open your old Roman history now, and read of Cindnnatus, On the day on which tbey wanted him to be dictator where did they find him? In the field, plowing.

What about Marcus Curios, who drove Pyrrhusoutof Italy? Look him up: you will find him busy on his little farm.

The great Cato you have surrfy heard of him—bow be rose to all the honors of tho Roman state: yet he was often seen at work in the fields with his slaves.

Scipio Africairus, who conquered Hannibal and won Carthage for Rome, was not ashamed to labor on his farm.

Lucretia, one of the noblest of Roman matrons, might have been seen many aday at work spinning among her maidens.

Better even than the example of noble Romans is the advice of the win man: "Whatsoever thy hand flndeth to do, do it with thy might" Better than this even are Uw beautiful New Testament wends: "Not slothful in business fervent in spirit serving the Lord."

There After bearing of these instances you will surely be sublimed not to work.— Philadelphia CaiL

To the Cuticura Remedies I owe My Health, My Happiness and My Life.

A day never passes that I do not think an4 speak kindly of the Cuticura Remedies. Seven years ago, all of a doacen lumps formed on my neck, ranging from tho size of a cherry stono to an orange. The large ones werefrightful to look at, and painful to bear people turned aside when they saw me. In disgust and I was ashamed to be on the street or In society. Physicians and their treatment, and all medicines failed to do any good. In a moment of dlspalr I tried the Cuticura Remedies— Culicura, the Ureat Skin Cure, and Cutleuni Soap, an exquisite Skin Beautlllcr, externally, and Cutlcuriw Resolvent, tho new Blood Purifier, Internally: the. small lumps (as I call them) gradually disappeared, and the large ones broke, In about two weeks, dlseharglng large quantities of matter, leaving two slight sears In my neek to-day to tell the story of my sutlerlng. My weight then was one hundred and fifteen sickly pounds my weight, now Is one hundred and sixty-one solid, healthy pounds, and my height Is oyly five feet live inches. In my travels 1 praised the Cuticura Remedies, North,South, Etust, and West To Cuticura Remedies I owe my health, my happiness, and my life. A prominent New York druggist asked me other day, "Do you still uso tho Cuticura Remedies you look to he In per feet health?" My reply WJIS, "I do, and shall always. I have never known what, sickness Is since I eommeced using the Cuticura Remedies." Sometimes I am laughed at by praising them to people not acquainted with t|ielr merits, but sooner or litter they will come to their senses and believe the same as thoso that have used them, as dozens have whom I have told. May the time come when thereshall be a large Cuticura Supply House In every city In the world, For the bcneilt of humanity, where tho Cutleuni Remedies shall be sold only, so that there will le rarely a need of ever entering a drug store.
