The chief clerk of one of the most suc cessful velvet departments in New York givea her experience in this re gard. As every one else does, she had all velvet unrolled as soon as it came in, but, unlike many, she takes care to paper every yard of it before locsaly folding it for the boxes. Large sheets of white tissue paper are used, laying them over the right side of the velvet, and folding them from each or one end. The paper keepa the gloss and prevents the pile crushing, a3 well as keeping the dun frcm it. In cleaning up the stock it is only necessary to dust the 00X63 icside and out, thus saving the surface from the deadly whisk broom. If a brush had to be used at any time it was a soft bonnet whisk, which, when brushed against the pil, did not injure it. W ith this care velvet t a 5 remained in stcck six months and looked in per feet condition. Dry Goods Economist. ITEMS OF INTEREST.

The sun and its attendant planetp, vT V "rwiB asteroids, constitute what is known as the solar system. This system consists secondary planets revolving about tt,m xr,. " enus. This is only one of the numberless systems which occupy space. Our sun is a star the center around which these planets travel; and we believe every star that bedecks the midnight is a great center around which other planets may revolve, making systems vastly larger than our own. A great deal is not known about our system, but more is known of it than of any other. The study of it has occuDied . 4. r i r a i & luogieuiBBi iiiiuua ior centuries, ana U have ccme to some conclusions concerning it. Thev sav that thn B,,n o-- w j - and flii th(, niflnpf0 nf arTaar matter -without form and vn?l " Thi unwrought mass became somewhat cool, and having a rotary motioD. the different planets were detached from the general mass and placed in their respective orbits ; those f urtherest from the sun being the first formed. God suspended those bodies in space, and by their mutual attraction, they revolve about the sun their common center in strict obedience to His good will. When He placed them there, He set forth a code of laws, and com manded each to obey them that there be no coLllicts with each other. If tho smallest planet were to fly from its orbit, the whole solar sj stem would be thrown out of balance, and confusion wou!d reign supreme; but through all the ages that they have been in His service, not one law has been violated. They ro11 in such perfect harmony that Pythagoras, the great Grecian philcsD Pner' inev maao music 100 8weec i a. 1 1 3 1 a. 1 r ttLU eaureu ue neuru uy iuo ears 01 wicked mankind, that none could hear it save the gcds. When we see the laws of nature so perfectly carried out, cannot we learn a lesson of obedience? As we come down through the ages we find the condition of things growing better and better until at last nature reached her highest development in the formation of man. Of course we speak of this as pertaining to our earth, for we know not whether any other planet of this system is inhabited God created man, placed him on earth, and gave him a mind that he might study and know something about the world in which ho lived. He has studied and found out much concern ing the part which our earth plays in this great universal drama of which God is the divine author, and hag de cided some facts about the system as a whole. Astronomers say that the whole solar system is moving toward a point iu the constellation, Hercules, though they differ as to the exact point toward which it is coming. Now we will ccm3 bt.ck to the earth, as we are going to speak of its work. The time occupied by the earth in mak ing one revolution around tho sun is called a year; this year is divided into four seasons, and each plays its part in comforting laboring mankind. In the spring he sows; in the summer he cultivates his crop ; in the fall he reaps it; in the winter he enjoys the fruits of his labor. If he works well God will surely do His part toward giving him a just reward for his labor. He will send the sunshine and the rain in due eeason - though sometimes it does look as if we had a little "overproduction" 0f both. This revolution around the eun produces an apparent an apparent motion of tho Aim North and South. Ihe higest point north to which it seems to go is called the summer sol stice; the lowest point south, the win ter solstice sol, the sun, and sto, I stand that is it seems to stand still for a few daJ 8 at theoe places. Once a year ne readies tne solstitial point, ana twice a year as he crosses tho equator the equinoxes occur. We wiU take the pun at the winter so1 c 3' Isow .ne u18 f l urtnhf re8t txje2Lst of December, xit this time the iiurvhern hemisphere has winter, while the southern is basking in warm sunshine. He slowly moves northward, until the 21st of March, when he crosses the equator causing what is known f-s the vernal equinox. The eun moves till the 21st of June when he reaches his home among the icebergs of the arctic regions. Now the northern hemisphere has summer and the south ern, wintci ; but crablike he soon be gins to go backward toward his heme in the southern heavens. Oa this journey he again crosses the equator and then we have the autumnal equinox. The old folks used to say, and it sterns real true too, that "The equinox is coming and we will have hig storms." As we have mentioned only a few stray facts about the solar system, and especially of our earth, we will now speak of the perfect (?) mechanism of another system as compared with that of the solar system this is the Cleve land system. God placed the solar system in space and the people placed the Cleveland system at Washington. We will let Cleveland represent the center, and the men of his cabinet, there being eight in number, represent the eight primary planets, his part of congress will personate the asteroids. These men as well as all the rest of us, have beea placed in an orbit of life with the sun of righteousness as the common center around which they must travel. This orbit of life may, also be divided into four seasons, namely; childhood, youth, manhood and old age. This path in which we are traveling is strewn with duties which we are commanded by both God and man to perform a certain number for each season. The greatest work is to be wrought in the third season or manhood. Now the most of the men who compose this system are in the third season of life, or the glorious age of manhood, and are they perform ing well the duties which rest upon them? in the Too truly can this be answered ucgnuvo. me Bin, according to a well known law of philosophy, radiates its heat and light equally in in every direction. Do the rays of truth and justice radiate equally in every direction upon tne suliering nation, from the center of the Cleve land system? No, a thousand times no. Those partial rays fall only upon the silks and plumes of the favored few who have never had to hold the umbrella of economy over them to protect themselves from a shower of poverty. At the door of every toiling son all over this broad land, stand the avarieious spirits of those money lords, snatching the last penny from his pocket, and the last crumb of bread from tho mouths of his hungry chil dren. As we come down through the politi cal periods of our nation, do we find that natural improvement in the sys tem of government that we found in the solar system? Indeed, not. There is no evolution nere, but instead of rising to a higher condition, it gradu ally sank down to the present low state of things. Truly, we may say that in the days of Jefferson, Jackson and others of that time, the sun of true democracy stood on the eq'iator, shed ding forth his golden rays of justice equally on all mankind. When the hand of death burst the chain which bound their immortal spirits in this mortal prison of pain and misery, for a time, thought free to wander in a land of peace, plea&ure and happiness, they still lingered in these legislative halls, infusing the same patriotic prin ciples into the minds and hearts of their successors ; but finally the spirit of self-interest overpowered their fol lowers, they went into mea&uresof in justice, led lives of shame and de bauchery, tho3e holy spirits fkd, not being able to witness the wicked schemes which were destined to work the ruin of the country they so much loved; and it seems that they never again entered into those olco hallowed halls. Year by year it grew worse, until to day, behold the band of con gressmen that revolve about Cleveland in perfect obeisance to his tyrannical wiii ! They have forsaken ev ry inter est that would be a blessing to the country, and are daily enacting laws that prove nothing but a curse to this proud land ; they are enacting laws all in favor of the goldbug that in a short while he may posess the earth. They are trying to own the earth, and is seems that they think the almighty gold dollar will form a ladder on which they can mount to Heaven, take pro session of it, while the great mass of common people shall sink with silver, into the lowest pit of hell. We said before that in he days of Jef fArann thomin of true demo racv stood at the equator giving equal justice, but at the death of those noble patriots, that glorious sun slowly began to make its way toward the winter solbtice, going faster and faster every day. Taere is a certain line of equality run ning through all humanity that some are not willing to approach, and years ago, after having started on the down ward march, when the sun of justice btrived to come near that line, a great disturbance arose in the political at mosphere, and the teuip s-uous Last fags ne'er been calmed, and ne'er will be until that equator of justice has been reached. In the journey, that gradually de cay ing sun cf truett democracy, in some way unknown to the philoso phical patriot attracted Cleveland and his host, a perfect mass of corruption; and fiaally every ray of justice Add, and he became the sole center around which a great number of satellites revolve. Lower and lower he went until now the sun of modern demo cracy rests at the winter solstice of his existence, while not only the northern hemisphere, but the whole realm of mankind over which he rules is suffer ing from a winter of coldest injustice.

We spoke of the confision which would be caused if one planet were to fly from its orbit; now what think ye of a whole system flying from its orbit, failing to carry out the de mands of the great body of down trod den humanity? It is easy to see, and know from experience that' such a state of things produces whit is known as confufio j con'ounded." As the solar system is moving to ward a point in Hercules so the Cleve land system is moving just as rapidly as time can take it toward a point in the constellation destruction, which point it has about reached, and we fear that destruction would be de stroyed by it. Oh ! we need no Py thagosas to tell us wnat music tne members of the Cleveland system make, as they roll in the circles of their wickedness; it takes no philosopher, but the humblest peasant CJin listen for one moment and the pitiful moanings and weepings of homeless fathers, widowed wive?, and orphaned children will soaite on his ears from every direction; that's the music which that almighty Cleveland system is presenting to the ears of this nation to day ; strains that the patriot will ever hear with regret. O, God! we pray-thee, arouse every citizen in this land to a sense of duty. and help him to wipe out forever a system which works nothing but ruin and desolation to the dearest land on earth to him America.

I It is not fully appreciated by the I public thit the article we carry as an I every day and necessary part and necessary part of our attire may become charged witn ele ments of infection. If it were there would be shown much more care in the use of the handkerchiefs and in their cleansing. Especially should this be the case in families cf whom any mem ber is troubled with a cold or with an inflaenza. One person with a catarrhal affection may impart the trouble to an entire household. This fact should make it common practice to isolate the handkerchiefs of an individual who is effected by an "mflienza." The hand kerchiefs used by such a person, too, should be treated in the following mm ner : They should be placed under water in which a quantity of kerosene oil has been noured. and there remain for say two or three days; then the water is to be heated by pouring on boiling water, and when this is cool enough they may bs washed, soap being ued, of course. Another washing in oil and soap makes disinfection sure, and com pletely removes all stain and effects of nasal appropriation. Then rinse the handkerchiefs carefully in warm water, and, if possible, hang upon a line to I he JLeadi 4-U 1 1: 1 i . 1 W1 tuc 1Ccluulr ajlu uest Known painters in this country says, "I cannot afford to use anything but Pure White Lead" (see list of brands).

Let them remain out on the line over night. When handkerchiefs are treated in tbi man ner, diseased matter is robbed of its danger, a fabric of delicate character spared the sacrifice occasioned by hard rubbing and wash-board penalty, and the luxury of a soft, clean and white appliance may be had for the suffering nose, which is liable to be for a time very sensitive from effects of "blowing and excoriation." If the best quality of kerosene oil is used, the handker chiefs are freely rinsed after oil and soapy water has cleansed and disin fected them, and there will be no odor of kerosene discoverable later in the neatly-folded and ironed handkerchief.
