the plan.
A merchants' lunch will be served
the guests at 6 o'colck where the dele
gates will get a chance to visit with
their neighbors.

or necklaces, but In altar utensils and
P symbols, or sewed upon the priceless
vestments which are ued only upon
pecial occasions. Like the crown
Jewels of a nation, these often have a
sentimental value as great as their
monetary worth, and they must be
carefully guarded. ', 1
' The treasures of St Patrick's, the
largest Roman Catholic cathedral In
New York city, are kept In a crypt
back of and beneath the altar. Few
people know of the location of this
chamber. From a room behind the
altar a broad marble stairway with
velvet handrails leads downward. A
long room nsed for the cleansing of
altar vessels and donning of vest
ments Is the first stage of the descent.

UNCLE SILAS SULKED.
What Aunt Melissa Had to Say When
She Heard the News.
Aunt Melissa Spigott was such an
exceedingly energetic talker that the
youngsters of the family used to sup
pose that her, tongue must be copper
toed, because It never wore out Dncle
Silas, on the other hand, was as eco
nomical of words as a marketman Is
of early strawberries.
The too free exercising of this un
ruly member of Aunt Melissa's on one
occasion gave Uncle Silas serious of
fense, which he manifested by a se
vere silence lasting for several days.
At the end of that period one of the
older daughters approached her mother
upon the subject with the remark,
"Ma, seems like you ought to make up
"Make up with par exclaimed Aunt
Melissa in great astonishment ."Make
up what?" ' r ' '
"Why." returned the daughter,
"don't you know poor pa's feeling bad
I yet? He's still buffing." "
t "Duffing for the land's sake! How
long's he been a-hufllng?"
"Ever since you came down on him
so hard about wasting sugar by not
stirring bis coffee; thafs three days
ago." ' ' '.' 'V'
"Why. you don't tell me, Janie
Maud!" Aunt Melissa looked amazed.

The Way the Fabrle Is Adulterated to
Increase Its Weight
If properly handled silk Is the strong
est and most durable of all textile ma
terials, but the various processes of
manufacture that remove much of the
J natural gum cause it to lose so large
' an amount of its weight that unscrup-
' ulous dyers and manufacturers resort
! to "loading." dipping the thrown slix
lnto a solution of bichloride pf tin,
Some are not content with restoring
the original weight of the raw silk, but
"load" It until Its weight Is multiplied
j three or four fold. This operation
makes the skeins, more valuable, but
It destroys the durability of the flla-
ments. ;

Me limit, so that a eiven weight will
