REMARK AUI.E INCREASE CAUSED 11V THE USE OF WOOD PULP. None of the greater industries of the country have shown a more re markable growth than that of raper making. In 1 886 the total daily ca pacity 01 an the paper mills of the country was 6,856,380 pounds, while in 1095 it is placed at an enormous figure of 14,102,380 pounds. The largest factor in causing this tremend ous growth was the development of processes lor making chemical fibre and wood pulp, enabling the substitu tion of these materials for rags, with a consequent large reduction in the cost of making paper. It is estimated that if the use of wood puId shall con tinue to increase at the rate of growth maintained in tne last hiteen years. five years hence the consumption of spruce wood for this purpose will equal the present cut of spruce logs tor lumber in all New Rneland and New York. The growth of paper making is one of the most significant facts in the industrial progress of the time. 1 he Paper Maker. A Million Bicycles. The historian who will write the true history of the closing years of the nineteenth century will be compelled to say a great deal about the growth, nlluence, and effects of the bicycle habit during that period. The points which he will feel obliged to cover are as numerous as they are interesting. The bicycle, as the legitimate successor of the velocipede of a quarter of a century ago, was taken up as an appliance for exercise and pleasure. These it has furnished to an extent not anticipated by its most enthusiastic devotees. Io addition, it has passed beyond any limits of mere pleasure or exercise. It has forced itself on the attention of the great war powers of the earth. It remains to be seen what warlike pur poses it may serve ; but it is safe to say that in the next European war the first man of the invading force in the enemy's country will be mounted on a wheel. It has conquered society Aristocracy in England and France, as well as in this country, has recog nized its worth. In adopting it the idle and luxurious classes have render ed a service by enormously increasing its popularity. I he hundreds of thou sands who might have hesitated be tween desire and dread in the uncer tainty as to whether it was the proper thing have had their doubts cleared away. A custom which has the sane tion of the Faubourg St.-Germain, of the British peerage, of the Michaux Club of Newport, and of the local Four Hundred in each one of our great cities is as firmly established as the Constitution with its subsequent amendments. In this country it is creating, as we have said, social and economical con ditions worthy of the attention of the historian. It may not be true, as Mrs. Anthony says, that " woman is riding to suffrage on the bicycle." but it is undoubtedly true that she is riding to greater freedom, to a nearer equality with man, to the habit of taking care of herself, and to new views on the subject of clothes phi losophyi The woman on the wheel is altogether a novelty, and is essenti ally a product of the last decade of the century. In this country alone the sales of bicycles for this year arc estimated at half a million. The total number of bicycles in use is estimated at a million. These figures are mere cuesses. but there is nothing incredi ble or improbable about them. It is certain that we are only at the begin ning of what is called the bicycle craze, and the indications are that the craze is not.getting reaay to ais aoDear. even if it is not getting ready as is more likely, to supersede all other methods 01 locomotion. vrn knniv that Hood's Sar X ' J Ik . .- . v - - - saparilla will overcome that tired feel ing and give you reneweu vigor anu Druggist MOTEFRS MAT BE CAPIT.

Something of the consequences of thlg evil can be frustrated by a watchful obervance of the food we give our chil dren, and the result of this or that pab ulum. Some food, seemingly hearty and sulllclent, may be of a sort they do not assimilate, and Is, therefore, of no line to them at all, and It Is only by observation that we can discover that which makes blood and flesh for them, and that from which they extract only enough nourishment to support life, leaving them a prey to the ravages of the enemy.

Mr. W. A. Ulalr, of S4 West Peters street, has In his possession what he thinks Is the Jawbone of a human skull, which was found In the center of a Carroll County tree several months ago. Mr. Blair has a small wooden box containing two wooden blocks, and In one of th latter there are what look like a Jawbone and a row of teeth, re sembling human toeth very much. The specimen Is In a block of red oak wood about four Inches thick, which Mr. Ululr pays was taken from the center of a tree two feet In diameter. The other block of wood Is the part which was taken from over the bone, the rrlnta of the teeth being plainly vlalble on It. The tree In whlnh the strango bone and teeth were found was one supposod to be about eighty years old, and was on thi property of V. H. and P. H.

Much Advice In Little to Women. " The woman question " seems sem piternal. Of a certainty It la always varied and fresh, we hear so much about woman's sphere that one Is prone to confused thought on th subject: but Just what really Is woman's true sphere will probably never be settled to every body's satisfaction. The most disturb lng fact about It Is that the women are as widely variant on that Issue as the men. It Is like a teeter now up. now down but never up or down long enough for us to say " there you are.' Some very wise persons of both sexes flatter themsolves that they have dem onstrated how It Is that the highest of fice of woman Is queen of home. The late Dr J. O. Holland used to have In his lyceum repertory a lecture on the " Woman Question." .One night after he had delivered that lecture In a New England town where woman's emanci pation demanded a good deal of room a young lady who was engaged in the study of medicine said to him: " Doc tor, what you say Is very good for women who have husbands' and child ren, but what do you say to those of us who have none? " I say get them," was the doctor's Instant and Impressive reply. And that la a sententious bit of advice that may not be wholly thrown away on the New, 1. e., the contemporary Woman.

A SLOOP SEEN HOV ERING ON THE COAST. New York, Aug. 27. The Atlas Line steamer Adirondack, Irom Tort Limon, which arrived to-day, brings news of another landing of war sup plies in the vicinity of Cape Maysi, Cuba. On the 2 2d instant, when the Adirondack was about 30 miles west of the cape, a large white-painted sloop was seen bearing directly for the Cuban coast. There was great activity among the men on board, and what looked like kegs of powder and fire arms were stacked up in the stern of the vessel. The name of the craft could not be ascertained ; but it was evident that she was carrying mateiials of war to the insurgent forces on the island. 1 he omcers of the Adiron dack watched the sloop until she lowered her sail and dropped anchor just off the shore. No Spanish men- of war were in the vicinity. The place where the sloop anchored is a lonely and uninhabited spot. It is believed that several vessels have landed sup plies for the insurgent steamer within the last three or four weeks. Madrid, Aug. 27.
