COTTON MADE SILK.

Accidental Discovery of Process That Made Millions.

The Vninable Flod of an English Dyer and Its Sobxequent 1m- provement HAN Made Much Money.

A boy sat before the fire and watched his mother's kettle boil, The lid quivered, rose a little, and the boy gave steam power to the world. John Mercer, an English dyer, fil- tered caustic soda through a square of cotton cloth. Thence a new verb- to mercerize-in the language. a new fabric on the market, and a new busi- ness, engaging millions of capital, to cheer the unemployed.

The story of the hoy, John Watt, is old, but Mercer's story is new and in- teresting. Mercerized cotton, either cotton yarn or cotton cloth. resem- bles silk absolutely. It has the luster of silk: it will take on, like silk, the richest and most brilliant dyes, and it has the unmistakahle soft-harsh, nestling feel which nothing but silk ever bad, says the Brooklyn Eagle.

Also cotton, under this process, does not weaken, as might have been feared. but it acquires strength. A

skein of cotton yarn in the natural state that will carry 13 ounces with- out breaking will carry: after mer- cerizing, 19 ounces. And if you take three coats and line the first with a plain cotton lining, the second with mercerized cotton and the third with silk, the cotton and the slik will wear out. about together, but the mereer- ized llning will outlast them two or three times over.

Mercerized cotton is used in linings, in underwear. in spindle banding. in stockings, in dress goods, in negligee shirts. There is a profit in merceriz. In ing of from 100 to 200 per cent. the last year or two many public dy- ers have added mercerizing machines to their plants, and a good number of mercerizing mills have been estab- ushed,

Mercerizing began as far hack as 1846 in the English town of Accring- ton, where John Mercer, manager for the firm of Hargreaves, filtered caustio soda through a cotton cloth. Mercer, by necident, kept this cloth by him, happened to test its strength, hap- pened to splash it with a dye. He found that it was about twice as strong and about twice ns susceptible to dye liquor as it had been before. Slight savings, in connection with big outputs, come in the long run to astonishing totals. Here was a sav- mng by no means slight. Here, just by running a cotton thread through a hquid as cheap as water, it would come to do the work of two tbrends, and in heing dyed it would save half the quantity of the dye stuff

Mercer rejoiced. He refused for his secret an offer of $200 000 from a French firm. fle had the idea of an 'in which the pattern is set at regular immense syndicate, with himself at the head, rolling up millions of profits per unnum.

Then it was found that cotton shrunk in the mercerizing .1 yard of cloth would save in dyestuffs and In raw stock. say five cents to its manufacturers, but it would come out of the mercerizing bath ouly three- quarters of a. yard of cloth. Against the profit of five cents a loss through shrinkage of about ten cents would have to be set. This is why Mercer never formed his syndicate, why Iner- cerizing was of no commercial impor- tance until latterly.

For the remaining 20 years of his life the man toiled ineffectually on, and he died disheartened. But his name That is because. somewhere

around 1800, Horace Lowe, in England, and Thomas and Provost, in Germany, hegan to try to see if it might not be possible to mercerize a cotton thread and to prevent the thread from shrinking in the process They more than succeeded.

Mercer had taken his cotton, steeped it for about three hours in caustic soda, then washed it. That Is mer- cerizing in its simplest terms. To the Englishman. Lowe, and the Germans, Thomas and Provost, came simulta- neously the idea of keeping the cot- ton stretched while steeping it in the caustic soda bath. They tied the ends of their cotton threads to sticks and then mercerized them. The sticks did not break, the thread nid not even show signs of shrinkage. So easy was it to do what Mercer had been failing at for years and years.

But, more than this, they found that cotton mercerized under tension came To ont glossy, soft and rustling. their amazement they found that they hud transformed cotton into silk. And ever since the Englishmen and Ger- mans have been fighting over the pat- ents on this wonderful discovery.

The explanation of the luster that cotton, heing mercerized, takes on, is simple. The soda and the tension to- gether change the nature of the cot- ton fiber. The natural fiber Is flat, shriveled; the mercerized fiher fills out, becomes round and smooth. And just as a flat. dried raisin has no luster, whereas the full ripe grape catches and throws back the light, so there is no luster to the flat Tiher of the natural cotton, but on the mercer- ized sort the light shines and is re- fected just as on the grape.

FEMININE FRILLS.

The Latest In Lingerie and Fashion- nble Trifles for the Sca- Mon's Coxtumex.

Shades of gray are charming in the new woolen materials which are to be seeu for the new gowns. There are ali sorts of pretty grenadine-like mate rials, similar to those wort in the six- ties-loosely woven materials, but with body enough to drape excellently. Some of them are to be seen with pret- ty satin stripes, some with little em- broidered figures, the small bow knots that never seen to grow old.

With the thought of the war in nl- most everything done nowadays in England, the bonbon boxes of silver are no longer used to hold various small bonbons, but are filled with "meat lozenges." They are fitted for the pocket, and are supposed to be just the thing for the soldier boy mu time of need.

Pretty bttle handkerchiefs with a pattern woven in them somewhat aft- er the way patterns are woven in damask for the table are now coming in. There are little bowknots, for in stance, at Intervals through the body of the handkerchief, and the table- linen effect is most noticeable in a damask-like band around the edge. and intervals, as in a border.

Most of the shoppers from the big shops who purchase French lingerle are now abroad getting up the new stock, and, this being just about be- tween seasons, it is a good time for bargains in pretty underwear. There are many women who consider under- wear their one extravagunce. They do not care so much about their out- side garments, but there is a certain delightful daintiness in wearing the prettiest and most attractive clothes out of sight. They feel that they dress for themselves, and it gives a certain feeling of self-respect and specinl pleasure. These women never dare to go near the underwear counters i: the big shops when the contents of their purses are at a low ebh, for ther

simply cannot resist the pretty things displayed.

The drapery effect around the shoul- ders obtains in many things, especially where yokes are worn. Below the joke of the opera cape soft material or lacc Is draped entirely around the shoul- ders, and In ten gowns the same effect is used with good results.

Not every woman would like or would look well in an Empire wedding gown, but the gowns themselves are charming. One has a puffed yoke and sleeves, while from under the arms two broad pieces of lace are brought and fasten a little to the left of the bust, the ends hanging In soft folds to the lower edge of the skirt. This gown is finished without a collar at the throat, the top of the puffed yoke fit- ting shugly, with a cord Apt in.

Long Empire coats which have an air of distinction are kilt-plaited in the skirt and have little jacket. effects. In one of these the jacket differs from the skirt, heing heavily embroidered, us are the sleeves. The hack of the jacket is cut up a little in the center. and comes down in long points in the front.

Much tulle is to be used with straw this coming season, and many hats will he made in alternate rows of straw and tulle. A great deal of tucked taf- feta will also be used, as it has been during the winter. The milliners are groaning because Easter comes so late this year. Very few women wear the old-time "Easter bonnet" to church on Easter day; it is not smart to do so, hut at the same time Easter is the hon- net season, and its being late or early makes the spring millinery late or early. In good weather many of the smart women are'out of town over Easter .- N. Y. Times.

THE HOME WEDDING.

What to Do When the Nuptial Cere- many Is Celebrated at Home.

For the home wedding the house is made bright with flowers. The moth- er and sisters of the bride receive the guests. The father first appears when he enters the room with his danghter. As the hour strikes the clergynian takes his place, facing the company, followed by the bridegroom and his best man, who stand at his left. await- ing the bride. Two ushers mark off an aisle with hroad white ribbons, at- taching them at the ends, and they pre- cede the rest of the bridal party, who enter at the farthest corner of the room. The bridesmaid or maids follow the usbers, and the bride comes last with her father. Or, the ushers may precede the best man and the one bridesmaid, and the bride and bride- groom follow. At a house wedding they often have no attendants and rarely any music. At the conclusion of the service the clergyman congratu- lates the bride and bridegroom and then retires. They then turn to be greeted, first by their parents, next by the members of the two families and near relatives, afterwards by every one present. All wish them happiness. Re- freshments are served in the dining- room, and may he simple or elaborate. as one chooses .- Ladies' Home Jour- nal

Saosages und Celery, Plek small sausages several times, so that they will not burst in frying, lay them in the blazer, cover closely, and cook until crisp. Or, if there are cold cooked sausages in the house, they may be heated in the blazer in n little but- ter or bacon fat. In either case, add to tbe fat two tablespoonfuls of celery. cut up very small, and let this cook two or three minutes, so that it will be done through, but not cooked enough to lose the distincive taste of fresh celery. This may he served on toast or crackers. It is also good served on shredded wheat biscuit .- Good House- reeping.
