All fabrics may be ironed in the samel way as woolens. unless they have a‘ pile. when every care should be taken not to flatten it; crepons come under the same head as pile fabrics. and should be pressed in the same way.

A safe test is to try a piece of the goods under the iron the day before and you can then judge how much heat it will stand. It is not advisable for home dress- makers to use the damp cloth too large- ly in pressing. With tailors. whose work is largely upon serges. tweeds and firm woolen cloths. wet treatment is best adapted to the requirements of the material. and is made one of the special features of their work. both in the exquisite finish of all seams and edges. and in the skillful manipulation by Which they impart form to a gar- ment ;.While the large majority of dress materials are so comparatively light and thin that wet treatment would inâ€" mm color. finish and texture. causing them to draw up and look rough and cockled, and entirely destroying the delicate @Dpearance of the fabric.

You will be surprised at the smart tailor-effect of a. skirt so finished when compared with one done by the usual time-saving dressmaker method and the work of repairing is lessened by more than half. TYPES Him mas. ”BELGHUO For years in England regular ex-il ning at a press trains have been run scheduled speed of 50 miles per hour. during the sum-, have had trains in serv runs of over 400 miles. at an average‘ of a mile a minute. : It was during the year of the pire State United States for a long-distance run at a high rate of speed. Between New York and Albany a distance of 142.88 miles. the New York Central train. without making a stop. covered the distance at an average speed of 58.58 miles per hour. ‘,___ LL‘ The great run made regularly by the Cornish Express is between London and Exeter. 9. distance of 193.92 miles. at an average Speed of 58.36 miles per hour. Like the run of the Empire Albany. that of the Cornish Express between London and Exeter is made without a. stop. While the aâ€"verage speed maintain- ed by the New York Central train is twenty-two one hundredths of a mile per thr greater than that of the English train. the distance covered by the'latter between London and Exeter In considering the merits of the two \VHICH IS THE BETTER. I First. and probably the most import- ant. is the roadways over which the runs are made.‘ 'As to the physical‘ condition in which both roadways are, kept. there is probably no difference.i but in the matter of grades the New} York Central has a great advantage' over the Great Western. With the! exception of a few slight grades thei Central's track is practically level.: while that of the Great “’estern is up grade almost the entire distance from London to Swindon. and from Taunton to Burlescombe the grade is a very sharp one. In the matter of curves. however. the Great Western scores a point. as the curves on the New York Central are much more numerous and sharp- er. but. taken altogether, as far as the roadways over which the two runs are made. the American road has an , advantage. Another point that must be consid-! ered is the weight of the trains haul-l ed. The Empire State Express is made up of a buffet car. two day coaches and a drawing-room car. the total weight of which is 376.000 pounds but frequently the car of the Vice President. which weighs 110.000 pounds. has been hauled in addition to the regular equipment. and the sche- ldule has been maintained. The-“Cornish Relief." as the first section of the Cornish Express is called, is run just ahead of the regu- lar train. and the number of cars in the train varies according to the travel. The heaviest train ever haul- ed is made up of five composite cars and three third-class ears. with a total Weight of 40034;! pouruis. The EnElish locomotive. while not as attractive in appearance as the ope built on this side of the Atlantic. however. has SPEED AND POWER- and does all that is asked of it in satisfactory_ manger: A comparison of the size and weight. of the 999 and Worcester. which are the types of engines pulling the two trsins. will prove of interest: The 999 is a four-coupled locomotive. with 19 by 24 inch cylinders; diameter of drivers. 86 1-2 inches; weight on drivers. 84,000 pounds; total we'cht. 124.000 pounds; heating surface. 1.930 fee}. and steam pressure. 190 pounds. The Worcester has cylinders 19 by 24 inches. the same as those of the 999; the driving wheels. of which there are but one pair. are 92 inches in diameter. or 5 1-2 inches more than those of the American engine. The weight on the trucks is 89.872 pounds on the drivers 89.984 pounds. and on the trailing wheels 27.664 pounds. mak- mg the total weight of the ensinol 107.520 pounds. or 16,480 pounds less than that at the 999. The total heat- ing surface is 1.467 square feet. which is only shout 76 per cent of that of the American engine.
