It used to be said that there was nothing that could not be made out of leather. The same thing Is now said of paper. From water mains, line bur Hflfi and window panes to clothing, tablecloths and napkins, the range of articles Into which paper is squeezed, spun and chemically wrought, Is be wildering. Further than that the range of uses to which paper .Is applied Is in ic.tsing rapidly. probably the very latest commercial fact In the application of paper Is In llin way of fire proofing. Puper tiro proofing, among other advantages, has this, one that the chemicals used pene trate the entire texture of the material and arc absorbed by It befoio It Is rnljed Into any thickness that may be required, thus making them much more effective than when wood Itself Is treated with them. The paper wood thus produced is as hard as wood It self, Is susceptible of brilliant polish and any variety of decorative treat ment, is vastly lighter, perfectly nd- juftuulo and absolutely fireproof. , MOD13UN NECESSITY.

In fact, a gejtleman who has had u long exper IcnW n the paper business Bald that thcybay was not far distant when all Inferiors of fine houses, Irrespective of nky-sarapers, would be very generally provided with fireproof paper wood work, j The material has been adopted foirthe finishings of the interiors of wnjshlp and tho Pennsylvania Itall rod company Is using It very ex terWtvjely for the head linings or ceil ing at passenger cars. Tho material cofcmonly used for this purpose, being heawly treated with oils, Is highly In flaffinable, and the adoption of tho pAer fire-proofing material Is only an othV (precaution for tho safety of pas eenms.

As for tho articles of dally use that are now made of paper their number is surprisingly larj:?. Eliminating such things as car wneels, in wiilch paper long ago demonstrated its .superiority over steel; the water buckets, the cov ering for hay ricks and other similar articles Ions of familiar use, these are hats and caps nnd clothing. In Detroit theie Is a concoi'ii which is doing1 a large and very lucn'U'o business in the manufacture of paper clothing. Puper, of course, as demonstrated in the water buckets, can be made al most as Impervious to water afi India rubber Itself, nnd, combined with lov ers of thin cloth, a material Is made which can be and Is put Into under shirts, waistcoats and jackets; which present a good appearance and are very durable. Without paper cloth It might almost be said that the enor mous ballroom sleeves worn by wo men not long ago would have been next to an impossibility. The strong, stiff but yielding fabric was pieclsely what wtm needed tc make the sleeves remain In the form that fashion de creed for i hem In dress linings, skirt linings, coat linings nnd In facings, paper cloth Is coming more and more Into use nnd Is giving very good satisfaction. Good looking and very durable hats aie made of paper and paper soles and heels for boots and shoes of tho cheap er grades havo long been In use. When It was said abovv that Hlle barrels were made of paper only tho literal fact was stated, although the paper rifle Is not piitcllcal for v.urlous mas ons anions other tho cost. It was Mr, Whistler, brother of the artist, who had tho llrst paper rifle buirel made In this country and, although It stood the strain of firing perfectly, It was mude and considered only as a cm lost Ity illustrative of paper possibilities, 1'APEit WATEU MAINS. "Water mains mado of paper, how ever, not only are a pniuilcnl possibil ity, but are In actual use. Where the conditions are such a's to warrant the very considerable! extra cxpenes of paper water mains us, for instance, where from the nature of the bed In which they must llo cast Iron mains would speedily oxidize paper water mains, costly as they are, become a matter of economy and tiro very gen erally used.

I himelf been In the paper business for nine years bought an article of this kind in London recently under the full conviction that It was leather he was purchasing. PAPEU LINEN. Along the line cf recent Inventions is a process for spinning paper Into a line thread which cannot only be used for sewing but out of which a. veiy beautiful, fabric can bo woven. Specimens of tablecloths and napkins made Ijy tills process were exhibited in this city recently which compare.! very well In appearance with flno ar ticles of linen. Tho process at present developed is pronounced by paper ex perts to be altogether too expensive lnr any practical purpose, ulthough it is easily within the possibilities that the day Is not so very far distant when wo will bo using puper table linen. Still another freak exhibition of what can be done with paper was the production of a paper axo with an edge so hard and fine that It could be used for cutting. One of the re cent and very successful applications ot paper is In a line which nt llrst thought would seem almost as sur prising as the manufacture of axes of paper. This Is in Its uno as an In sulating cover for elect) iu wires. Paper Is one of the best conductors of electricity there Is, Thus boys In a pressroom often hold one hand on a roll of paper and with the other light a gas Jot with tho electric spark drawn hv touching tho end of the fin ger to the metallic burner. Tho elec tricity Is first developed In the papv by tho friction of going through the calenders in the later milling pro ceases. Electric wires aro connected from these cnlonders to the earth to draw oft tho fluid, but notwithstand ing this tho paper reels gather and store charges of electricity that often aro not dissipated for months If tho reel stands In storage so long. Yet with all this susceptibility of paper to electric excitement It has now become ono of the substances man used, after going through tho neces sary process, for Insulating eleotilo wires. Ono Mnglo company In this city disposes of twenty tons a day of paper to bo used for this purnoso alone. ECONOMIES. Tim proposition that the waste and refuse of today is tho raw material of tomorrow, which has become In the nature of an axiom in modern Indus tries, Is as true In connection with paper manufacture as In everything else. For Instance, tho pulpy mass called begasse, which Is left after tho 6iignr cane has been crushed ami squeezed dry of its saccharine mat ter, and formerly was burned and got rid of as a nuisance, In now used for the manufacture of paper. The Cun nlngham Bros., tho great sugar men of Texas, Imvo two paper mills which make several grades of puper out ot begusse, and the business Is so profit able that they aro to open new mills. One of the most profitable elde In dustries growing out of the mnnu facturo of paper came from the dls. covery ot tho fact that casein was vaBtty better than tho glue formerly In use for putting tho heavy coatlnj on the finer grades of paper. The discovery was not only a bonanza for the wc who mado it and for thoso who bc.cke.l him, but also for tho dair ies. Tho tklm milk which is left after the cream hai been taken off for but ter and other purposes, nnd was In the 1 nature of were refuse o; tho lilg t$P - dairies, Is now turned Into a source of profit almost as great as that from butter Itself, from its use In the manu facture of casein for paper coatlns and sizing. OLD PAPEU UTILIZED. . An insurmountable obstacle to tho making of old newspapers into a sjood quality of paper was tho fact that the printer's Ink with Its resin nnd Its heavy linseed oil could not be got rid of by any known process. Pappr was made of old newspapers, but it was poor In appearance, poor in quality and always betrayed Its origin. So old newspapers became In a certain sense mere waste until about six years ago, when a young man named Me Ewen from over In New Jersey cipher ed out the fact that tho resin and the oil in old newspapers, when the whob: mass of Ink and paper fibre together was subjected to a very high temper ature, would be just tin thing for siz ing for box-board paper. Mr. llo Ewen hud no capital, and he had' difficulty In Interesting people who had, but he succeeded at last and now he is a millionaire. Ho himself ships from bis mills 5,000 tons of box board paper "news board" ns it is called from Its newspaper origin to Eng land alone in the course ot every year, while ho derives a large Income from the royalties on his patents. NEW COMMISSARY GENERAL. Many Stories Told of General Wes ton's Wit and Amiability. Wellington Letter in Iho Rim. Jack" Weston, as ho Is familiarly known In the armv, Is one of tbj most popular ofllcers in the military service. He has a gicut reputation for wit and geniality, while his ef ficiency as n stuff olllccr Is generally recognized, Many stories aro told In thy aimy of the gallantry, wit and geniality of the new commissary gen eral. Ills Inclinations have always leaned toward tho fighting arm of tits service nnd as he only expressed It, "I'd sooner be In hades without a fan than bo In tho staff again." C.enoinl Weston Is known throughout tho ser vice as a man of his word, and sonio evidence that ho has been so regarded lor a long time may bo found In tho olUclal files of the war department. The story Is this: When Cioneral Weston wns a cap tain nf the line he purchased a mili tary cap. value W.50, from a halter in New York, with whom he had an account. Tho bill miscarried and the hatter sent a second bill with n nolo to General Weston, then nt a western army post, saying that unless It wn.i promptly paid the matter would bo brought tu the attention of the secro tary of war, This mnde General Wes ton angry and he sent a spirited noti to tho hatter, In wilch he aid:.

Fate from Which a Southern Con gressman Was Extricated, V. i:. Curtis in ChiiaRu Hoiiml. Among tho seven new members of the house of representatives Is a man who was once sentenced to be hanged tho hero of one of the most exciting episodes of the civil war. In J863 a young confederate from Alabama named William Richardson was cap tured by the federal forces In Tennes see and taken to a prisoners' camp In Indiana. He made his escape and got hack to Nashville, where ho had rela tives who sympathized with tho rebel lion nnd arranged for him to go through th'o Union lines with a Con federate spy known as "Mr, Paul." Tho couple were cuptured by Genorol (.'rlt tendon's forces, taken to his head quarters at Murfreesboro, and, utter tilal befofb a drum-head court martial, nmih sentenced to lenomlnous death by hanging, which Is tho fate ot spies, who, under the rules of warfare, do not deserve honorable death by shooting. In some manntv tho news was brought to General Forest forty-seven miles away that one of tho most val uable men In the secret servlco of the Confederacy was about to be hanged by General Crittenden, and an hour or tw.o before daylight on the morning ap REWARD pointed for the execution Forest sur prised Crittenden's forces, demoraliz ing them, killing a good many and taking a large number of prisoners. During the light ".Mr. Paul" and young rtlchurdson managed to escape. After thu war the latter teturned to Ala bama, studied law iith his father, who wan an eminent member of the bar of that state, and now comes to congress as tho successor of Clen.

"Dearest," ho murmured, as she sent one cup off without a spoon and an other filled only with whipped cream, "dearest, If you don't mind my saying all this to you, Just drop u spoon.
