York man, who travels almost
eoatinually, met one of these peddlers in
Rereading room of a hotel in Hartford
some time ago, and told afterward how
astonished he wus when the stranger ap
proached him and began to show his
gpds,
* He was a tall, good looking young fel
low, said the New Yorker, and “was
pressed vert quietly
snd tastefully. I noticed that there was
Jot a single article of jewelry visible on
bis person, not even a gold button or a
watch chain.
• The only thing that looked like jewel
rv WUs a key chain, I observed afterward,
that that was made very strongly and ap
peared to be, as I presume it was, made of
the very finest steel.
He sat down beside me, and, pulling
it his chain, drew out of his pocket a
chamois leather bag or purse. Out of
this he took what looked like a handful
Df small packages, each wrapped up in
fine tissue paper. These he unwrapped
one after another and showed me the con
tents.
•In each one was a gem. There were
diamonds, rubies and emeralds and two
or three pearls, but nearly all of them
were diamonds, and only three or four
were what I would call unusually large
stones. They were without settings, and
as he unfolded the papers he rubbed each
tone gently and deftly with a sihall piece
)f flannel.
•Naturally he was talking while he
did all this, and I soon got very much in
terested,” the speaker continued. “He
began by asking if he could not sell me a
diamond, and i told him I thought not,
but I said it hesitatingly, because I wanted
to hear what he had to say.
“ I have them here,’ said the peddler,
‘all the way from SSU up to $3,500, but I
ran sell you one that any gentleman
would be pleased to wear for three or
four hundred. Most persons, even those
who can afford it, do not care to wear
very large ones, though I have some cus
tomers who won’t look at a small stone.’
p “Youhave regular customers, then?”
asked the man from New York, and he
answered, “Oh, yes; my trade is mostly
among actors and hotel men, and I know
■early all the prominent ones east of the
Mississippi.”
' And then he took out a powerful glass
imt asked the New Yorker to look at a
leautifui brilliant he had just un
vrapped.
“1 looked at it and admired it, but I
told him I was no judge of diamonds,” the
New Yorkerwent on. "All stones of the
same site
LOOKED PRETTY MUCH ALIKE
to me, though I could see that some
seemed to me more brilliant than others,
lie laughed a little and said that ho
f and that comparatively few people
were judges, but that a great many were
reluctant to own it, and either believed
or pretended to believe that they could
tell a genuine diamond from the best pos
sible imitation and a good stone from a
bad one.
Such people,’ he said, ‘buy diamonds
whenever they can be made to believe
that they are getting bargains, but as a
i lie they pay more than they need to.
Strictly speaking, there is no such thing
a-a bargain’ in diamonds, excepting in
buying one from somebody who is ignor
ant or careless of the true value of what
ho has. because a diamond has an intrin
sic value as well defined as that of gold.
' However,’ he continued, ‘I am always
glad to meet anybody who is on the
•••okuut for bargains, because 1 generally
manage to sell them something at a good
’price.’
Then he went on to tell me that he
only carried the other stores as a sort of
siib show Once in a great while he would
sell a pearl or a ruby, but nearly all his
business consisted of sales of diamonds
ami watches.
lb kept on chatting, even after I had
satisfied him that I didn’t intend to buy
anything, and he kept some of his parcels
c| !i fiu- a considerable time while he wil
smwiy wrapping up the others.
I thought at first that he seemed to L
careless about it, but as i watched him
noticeii that ho never looked anywher
excepting either at his goods or straigh
in my eye, and I could sec that his vigi
iuiicp was never relaxed for an instant.’’

HOW SILK LACE IS MADE.
Course of the Raw Material Traced
Through its Course.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.
To Nottingham, England, goes the
credit for having placed window curtains
within the reach of the masses. Asa
matter of fact, Nottingham is entirely in
nocent in the premises, and the only con
nection bet ween the two lies in tho fact
that Nottingham, being the borne of the
English lace industry, has been adopted
as an appropriate name to be given to the
output of our cotton lace manufactories.
What Nottingham is to England and
Calais and Candre to France, Brooklyn
stands to the United States—the home or
head center of the lace industry. The
pioneer in this industry in this country
was Mr. A G. Jennings, of Brooklyn,
who in 1867 opened a modest mill in New
York city, which in a very few years
proved inadequate to the demands of his
growing business.
In 1871 he decided to locate in his native
city, and the plant has been increased
from time to time till now thereareseven
large buildings covering the site on Hall
street and Park avenue, giving employ
ment to about one thousand men and
women. Mr. Jennings is not only the
pioneer in the lace industry in America,

but is also the head of the largest manu
facturing house in his line in this country.
On ascount of his labor-saving machinery
he can compete successfully with all for
eign manufacturers. He claims to have
the highest class of machinery in the
world engaged in the silk industry, and is
the inventor of several machines that
have been revolutionary in their opera
tion, the most notable of which is a knit
ting machine, capable of 140 revolutions a
minute and on which the finest silk vail
ing is made. In silk laces and vailings
Mr. Jennings acknowledges no superior.
To follow a thread of silk from its raw
state through its course of preparation to
be worked up into delicate lace by the
marvelously ingenious machinery, is an
exceedingly interesting occupation. The
silk is received in this country in bales,
shipped from Italy, China and Japan.
It is in skeins in the raw state, either
freenisli white or yellow in color. The
nest silk comes from Italy. The thread
is like a hair, and is as long as the skein.
The first operation is to throw it, or in
other words bring as many threads to
gether as may be required in very fine or
heavy fabrics. When the thread is of
the desired .thickness it is boiled to re
move the gum which is natural to it, and
when dry it is wound on spools hoiding
several thousand yards each. This is
done by machines of from sixty to ninety
spools.
The spools are then put on a jack, or
frames of pins, on which they revolve,
and from which the silk is fed on a drum
or warping mill through brass plates,
more or less perforated with holes, ac
cording to the number of threads to be
placed in the warp. An ingenious device
registers the yards as they run on the
drum, so that when the desired length
has been wound, the machine is stopped.
The warps vary in width according to the
work in which they are used. The next
operation is to run the warps on the warp
beams. These beams are steel rollers of
various thickness, and in widths running
as high as 154 inches. Transferring the
warp from the drum to the beam is a repe
tition of the operation from the spool to
the drum. To every machine there is a
main warp which forms the groundwork
of the pattern, supplemented by several
auxiliary warps of various size threads,
with which the pattern is perfected. The
main warp may be several thousand
yards, long, while the auxilliar.v warps
are shorter, and are replaced from time
to time.
When the skein is wound on the spools
part of it goo# in another direction, where
the silk is run from the spools on to bob
bins. The bobbins are the instruments
that in lace making form the design of
the pattern by twisting around the warp
threads. At this stage the machine is
armed with the material ready to tie
worked up. Ana this is the point at
which art enters. A oorp of draughts
men are employt and making new designs
and laying out the work. The design be
ing acceptable, a draughtsman’s pattern
is drawn to scale, one copy of which goes
to the operator on the machine, who
threads it accordingly by running the
threads from the wharp beams which set
at the bottom of the machine through a
sley cloth and perforated steel bars and
fastened on the roller at the top.
This operation of the most exacting
character, and the greatest care must be
exercised, and the,misplacing of a single
thread will bring disaster to the most
elaborate and carefully worked out
design. Each thread is handled separate
ly, and many hours are required to
thread a machine of 154 inches in width.
Within that space the pattern is repeated
as many times as the width will allow,
so that when the fabric is turned out of
the machine, as many as thirty strips
may he found. Another copy of the
draughtsman's pattern is sent to the
Jacquard puncher, or what may be
called a piano machine, where the pattern
is punched on heavy cardboard on the
ame principle as the music rolls of an
irehestrion. but with the difference that
■uch piece of card—about two and a half
ty eighteen inches—-contains the designs
of a Angle movement of the lace machine.
• f there are IKK) stitches in a pattern
there will be 300 of there cards strung
together.
The machine beiug threaded, the cards
are adjusted to the Jacquard attachment,
vithout which lace might better tie made
>y hand. The design cards operate drop
uers in the attachment bars, through
Which the threads pass and weave the
pattern, each movement being complete
■ aid perfect. On a machine 154 inches in
width as many as 10,000 threads are used.
The description of the working of one ma
hine covers all. When the desired length

pick up any flaw that may be found, after
which it goes to the dye house to assume
any color that may be chosen.
From thence it is taken to the finishing
room, where it is washed in a prepared
bath and then stretched on drying frames
in rooms kppt at a temperature of 130 de
grees. It now reaches its last stage pre
paratory to going into the world—the
carding room—where the draw threads
between the strips are pulled out and the
strips wound on eards, and then—the
milliner.
In the manufacture of silk gloves sub
stantially the same operation is gone
through with, except that no pattern is
used, tho cloth being plain—and two
warps are knitted together. The knit
ting machines used by Mr. Jennings are
his own designs and the most rapid of

There are also extensive ribbon, gimp
and hair net plants in connection with
the mills, as well as looms for the weav

LIGHTNING IN HIS WHISKERS
Peculiar and Disturbing Experience
of a Connectieut Janitor.
From the New York Sun.
New London, Sept. 10. Martin Dunbar,
the school janitor, who resides on Town
Hill, in the surburbs, has long been protid
of his whiskers, which are beautiful, dark,
glossy and luxuriant, and since the crack
ing thunder storm tho other night he is
prouder than ever of them. A corkimr
big thunderbolt went through Martin's
whiskers. In New Umdon lt’a nothing
for a gale to ramble through a man’s
beard, sometimes at the rate of sixty
knots an hour, but to have a thunder
clap taugled up with it—that is quite
another thing.
Martin V. Dunbar was in bed at the
time. In the midst of the elemental up
roar there was a blinding flash that lit up
the old harbor town with a siekl.v violet
radiance, and then a jarring peal of thun
der that shook the foundations of Town
Hill. This twit, which was after Martin,
hit a lofty telegraph pole first, knocked
off its top, glanced to the Dunbar Ohim
ney top, tore a lot of shingles and boards
off the house roof, and then, having got
its bead on the luckless janitor, crammed
itself down the chimney It found Mar
tin asleep in his best chamber, and get
ting out of the chimney by smashing one
side of it, it directly in a business-liKe
way went through the old man’s whis
kers. It plowed a ragged round furrow
through them, and then went on, making
a fissure in the house walls in its success
ful retreat.
Incidentally, it set lire to the rest of
his beard and whiskers, to the pillow on
which his head rested, and to the bed
sheets, so that when Mrs. Dunbar, who
was startled by the racket in the house,
and ran into his chamber, threw open the
door of his room, she beheld Martin in an
aureole of blue and red fire, like a picture
of an old-fashioned saint defying Beel
zebub. Mrs. Dunbar is a womun of reso
lution, presence of mind and heroic mould,
and sho dashed water on her flaming
spouse and saved most of the beet and the
remains of the best part of his auburn
whiskers on the off side. Martin was
badly minced up, nevertheless, and it was
not until six or seven months later that
lie recovered from a singular sort of
stupor into which the electric bolt had
plunged him. His right cheek is scarred
with yellow and black and blue tracks,
where the lightning blazed its way
through his thick crop of heard, and his
side and legs are still spotted with irreg
ular thunderbolt prints. But the doctor
who attended him said that he was not
permanently damaged.
