• LadiesHats,
The Resurrectio4 of an Old Indust4
It is known by many that quite .a
business is done iu the manufacture of
ladies' fur hats, but very few are aware
thatin this manufacture is revived an
industry that has been dead for man
years. It is the bowing of fur. T
hats in question are of the finest kin
of beaver and otter fur hat( on fe
bodies. The fur it laid upon them ju
as, it te upon the hide of the animalen
to the inexperienced observer no diffe
eace caa be detected. - i
Fur is now felted by •machinery.
the car13,- stages of halting it was do
by hand. The fur was -bo -wed by han
before it was felted, now the same Co
dition is brought about by pickers
blowers, being a hollow cylinder arm
with spikes, in which fur is torhe
and blown until it is in a couditien:
felt.
Hatters who have learned the trid
in the past quarter century keow
• thing of bowing fur except as they ha
heard descriptions of it from the vete
ens in the trade. The men who thir
or forty years ago laid aside the boW i
deference to the advanee of the age, b
lieved, without doubt, that new fangle
uotious would soon prove their own
impotence, and their occupation woul
again come back; but as the year
went by and the inventions progress°
rather than retrograded, they sorrow
fully buried their bows from, as the
firmly believed, their sight forever.
Four years ago. Mr. Richmond Hay
of Danbury, Conn., undertook th
manufacture of fur hats for ladies, an
from the small beginning then. th
business hase grown to large chmen
aims. It vetas found that to prepar
the fur for the -bodies the machine
could not be used; it needed root
delicate handling: Thus was the bow
revived, and the old hatters, many o
whom had retired from business, wer
called out, and to day are twangin
the bow as in the days of yore. Th
bowing -room contains no young men
Some of those enaployed are beyond
three score and ten. To fill the de
mated for the hats, and to a.ccommodate
hatters whose age prevents them from
coming into the village to the factory
small b.uiidings have been put up by
the firm in, several of the outside din
tricts, where the bowing is carried on
It is an interesting process, this bow-
ing of fur and working it into the felt
bodies. It does not seem possible' that
eaoh delicate hair will take its place in
-this foreign body just as it did in its
'own body of the flesh'.
The fur used is of the finest quality* .
The man at the bow or hurl takes one
ounce °fit and lays it on a bench be-
fore him. The bow is like that used
on a bass -viol, only several times larger
and. not. so elaborate, by arty means.
In place of the horse hair of the viol
bow is a single cord of cat•gut on this.
One end of the bow is fastened to a
cord feom the ceiling—the other end is
held in the left hand of the operator.
The bow thus lies on its side, with the
string an inch or two above the table,
and passing through the fur. In his
right hand the operator has a small
stick with which he twatics the bow-
string,- and the vibration thus made
separates the fur and. tosses it about.
The' noise of the -vibrating string is
like auto that naade - crickets. The
vibrations continuo -until the fur is
lightened to the proper condition: The
mass is then flattened. down by a wire
frame. Then it is covered with a piede"
of soft leather, and a similar frame is
pressed over that. On removing. these
the fur is sufficiently matted to permit
of it being rolled pp like a bat of cotton.

The operator takes the several por-
tions he has got together to the pla,nk-
ing room where the bodies .have beeit
sized, and where at a kettle of hot
water he produces the fur surface.
This is the reMarkable part of the
performance. He dips the body into
hot water, and drawing it out lays a
- part of the bat upon it, and with a
brus,h-whi&i. has been dipped in the
water sticks the fur to the body. He
repeats the operation until the whole
surface of the body is covered with the
fur. Then by a process of dippira„0- and
rolling the fur is worked Mae the body,
the enileof each hair locating itself as
'firmly as in the eriginal skin, and when
he is through, a perfect fur body is
forro.ed—so perfect that only the ex-
perienced. observer could at a casual
glance tell it from the covered litcle
itself. On the end of each of these
delicate spears of fur is a barb, the
Sallie as on the end Of a hum.a.n hair.
The action of the hot water causes
these barbs to enter the felt, where
they become as firmly imbedded as in
the original skin, and the whole sur-
face is as the surface, of the animal
itself before robbed of its covering.
s The hats are made in various colors
—gray, brown and creana—and are very
pretty objects of dress.
A Monoraaniac in Church..
During, the progress of the revival
meetings which were held in London
two years ago,by the Rev. Mr. Paynter,a,
man named john Monroe,a blackstnith,
employed. at the car works, Loudon,
who had previously beeu a very wicked
man, being a great druukard and also
in the habit of beating his wife, profess-
ed to be converted. Sine that time he
has been acting very strameely, and has
attained the general repataion. of being
a religious menomaniac, although sane
enough in other respects. He also
made it a rule to abuse the ministers
and efficers of the St. Andrews Church,
to which he attached himself, and tells
them that they are all hypocrites and.
siuuers, and that he is the only Chris-
tian man among therm He has also
gone around to visit sick persons, their
friends not being able to keep him out,
he being a big burly man forces his way
into the sick chamber. makipg hiinself
vtry offensive. The Coruna:union ser -
%feet; are held every three Month% and
he has also beeu in the habit of attend-
itig those.aud just in the middle of the
service he commences to groan in
most unearthly mauneracaring the min-
ister, offioers and congregation. It was
alwa.va the opinion of the officials that
he could desist if he wished, and. repeat-
ed threatenings,warnings and entreaties
have been used. to bring him to a proper
state of mind upon the subject, but
without any availtMunroe defying every
Gm. This happened on two occasions.
At the iustance of lam officers of the
church, a letter was written by an
attorney last week, warning him. if he
repeated this conduct at the service he
would be arrested. Thia warniag only
seemed to provoke him to greater ex-
cesses. He attended. service as usual
Sunday morning, and during the
Oonamuniori service he suddenly were fonnit perfectllifeless and so dry

SPECIAL NOTICE
placed both his feet on the top
of the back of the pew immediately
in front of him._ He then conamenoed
to roll his eyes b.round and moan as i
he were in mortal agony. The wierd
uuearthly sounds as well as his ex-
tra,orclinary aotions, so startled two
ladies in the congregation that they
fainted. The .Rev. Mr. Mutray who was
officiatitg,-stopped the service and in-
formed. the congregation that this nu -
fortunate man had. on Eeverul fornaer
occasions disturbed the congregation,
remained obstinate to ell eutreatios,
Ireasonings and threats, and had now
gone. beyond all bounds,' they were
now convinced that he was an im-
poster, and that he could restrain him-
self from disturbing the congregation if
he wished to do so. They had therefore
determined to let the civil law take its
course, and that it was probable that
the man would be arrested _upon the
'charge. these words had a magie
effect upon the man. He immediately
became relieved of the spirit, his eyes
ceased rolling, the groaning Was heard
no more,and he resnmed his properposi-
tion in the pew. For the remainder of the
service he remained perfectly quiet, and
the service proceeded without altar-
ruption. There is no doubt but that
the man is a, religious monomaniac, and
,not entirely responsible for his actions,
and it is on this account that the
officials of the church did not take the
case in hand. more ptornptly 111. order to
prevent sucla unpleasant occurrences.

Oatraeal Better than. Wheat
Flour.
Oatmeal is a food of great strength
and nutrition', having claims to be bet-
ter known and. more widely used than
it is at present. 01 much service as a
brain food, it contains phosphorus
enough to keep amen doing an ordin-
ary aincunt of brain work in good. health
and vigor. All medical authorities
unite in the opinion that eaten with
nailk it is a perfect food, a,nd, having all
the requisites. for the proper develop-
ment of the system, it is a pre-eminent-
ly useful food for growing •Children and
the young generallY. Oatmeal requires
much cooking to elfectually burst its
starch cells, but when it is well cooked
it will thicken liquid much more than
equal its weight in wheaten flour. The
oats of this country are superior to
those grown on the Continent and the
southern parts of England, but certain-
ly inferior to the Scotch, where con-
siderablepains is taken to cultivate
them, and it is needless to point but
that the Scotch are an example of a
etrong and thoroughly robust uation,

derived from the plentiful use of oat -

An Invention.
-Some time, ago CaPtain William
Gardiner, of Toledo, _inveuted a re-
markable gun, which was claimed to be
the most ingenious and deadly weapon
known to modern warfare. The Eng-
lish Government more than a year ago
a,ppointed commissidn of scientific
experts to examine the gun, and on va-
rious occasioits the Oommissiou and.
some of the Most accoMplished mili-
tary men in reat Britain have been
present at various trials to test its
qualities. The gun proved. equal to
every demand made upon, it, and
telegram was recently received fro
London saying that the English Go
eminent had approved the gun, an
would adopt itfor use in their arm
The gun is light, can be handled by tw
or three men on the field, can be carrie
in the arms of two rsTiln, cau be mad
with double or single barrels, and mad
to fire with deadly precision three hun
dred shots a minute. Wherever thre
men can go they can carrythis gun an
work it in the field. Hence its vast su
perierity to all guns that require horse
and heavy carriages to transport.

Saving the C-elery.
When November comes .we alway
feel like saying a word or two about th
best mode of saving the celery throug
the winter. It is the most difficuli., o
the garden crops to raise to a- prope
degree of perfection—twhite,solid and o
a (mod size. When it is small it is an
unsatis ying.crop to raise. If the spir
in it is in a, firm sound condition when
buried; it ought to last up to the middl
t of April. A dry upland spot, not sub
ject to holding water, should be select
ed. In storing celery we have usually
pursued two modes, both of which have
answered well. The first is to dig a
straight trench spade deep, stand up a
row of plants singly, then another row
with some earth between, and so on
until about half a dozen rows are finish-
ed, then Commence another bed and so
on. The soil should be packed in firm-
ly and then banked up, so that the tops
of the celery are justeeCovered, then
spank off roof fashion to 'awn off the
rain. Over this wide boardsnailed to-
gether should be placed, as security
against moisture, or straw can be -bent
over and secured at the bottom with.
bean -poles, and a little gutter to carry
off the water at each side. Another
plan is io sink barrels into the earth so
that the tops are two or three inches
below the surfacethen stand them com-
pactly full of celery without any soil;
put tight covers upon them, -so 2.-s to ex-
clude all moisture, aud then a couple of
niche§ of soil.
For early consumption—that is to say
in December and January—it ean be
preserved in the rows where it is grown,
properly covered and protected against
moisture. -
The British India Steam Naviga-
tion Company's ship Eldorado, 95
passengers, and carries a crew of about
60, put into Plymouth safely after a
hair breadth esoape from total less in
the Bay of Biscay, where she lay for
130 hours during a storm recently, total-
ly disabled. Nearly all the crew were
ineapacitated by fear, and but for the
exertions of the passengers there is lit-
tle question but that she would have
gone clown. The waves broke one of
the shafts and flooded the engineeooms,
and. all the fires were extinguished.
The crew abandoned their posts, and
the male passengels; at the captain's
call, bailed and pumped the water out,
when the storm abated, and the fires
were relit.
Feed -Your Fruit Trees.
Much injury has been done to fruit
trees by the expressed dread some cul-
tivators have of too rank growth," and
a consequent advice not to manure. A
fruit tree never suffers from too much
manure, if the roots are healthy. If a
tree seems to suffer after a heavy man-
uring, it is only that it was in a
bad way before this. Of course if one
were to empty a cesspool, a carbloa,d of
fresh 1lime, or some other iuordinate
mass of food under a tree, it would suf-
fer; but ourtheaning is that no amount
of manure that would be found of bene-
fit to any regular garden will be other-
wise than beneficial to a fruit tree, if
the roots be healthy. — Gardener's

The Dreadful Tarantula.
The following is from a Sacramento
journal: "A party of Sacraaneutans
returned. home last week from a trip to
the mountains, bringing with them two
deer skins, one Wild cat skin, and a few
other trophies, 'including two tarantu-
las. - They hid a little incident attend-
ing the transportation of these speci-
rneias which occasioned considerable
alarm. It occurrediu Cache Creek
canyon as they were returning home.
The tshautulas, for lack of a better re-
ceptacle, were enclosed in a cigar box
when caught, about teu days previous,
and this box, carefully tiednp, was de-
posited beneath the seat of the vehicle.
While they were jolting through the
canyon the seat slipped, and the two
Alma occupyiug it found themselves
dropped suddenly into the bottom of
the wagon. One of them struck the
cigar box, crushing it, and immediately
felt that something had hart him! A
glance showed him that he was resting
on the tarantulas, and with a yell of
"I am stung! I am stung !" he jumped
from the wagon, and dashing his hands
behind him, as though desirous of lift-
ing himself out of his boots, be bounced
wildly along the road.. then turning,
made for the wagon, shouting to his
amazed companions : "Whiskey!
quick ! I'm dying ! why don't you
hurry The other three meii—there
were four in the party—reached simul-
taneously for the demijohn, broke off
the cork in their haste to pull it out,
and in their efforts to knock off the
neck of the demijohn, to save time,
broke the entire concern, and uearly alt
the contents were lost. About a pint
of the liquid was saved, however, and,
without saying so much as "Here's
luck," the party that was bitten swal-
lowed it. Soon he begau to feel better,
and eventually felt so remarkably well
that it was evident that the poison had
been forced to succumb. Then the
work of straightening up .the contents
of the wagon commenced, and the tar-
