MANY USES FOR PAPER.
Inventive Yankees Have Devised Some
Peculiar Modes of Em ploying It.
We have had the golden age and the
Iron age and vurlous other ages, but
the present will probably be known as
the wooden or paper age. Paper dress
material masquerading as silk is the
latest invention in the line, and
threatens to drive the silkworm out of
"business. Spruce sawdust, cotton or
Jute waste and alcohol are put into the
machine and come out at the other end
shining, delicately colored, rustling
silks, suitable for the most fastidious
lady's gown. Of course, this paper silk
doesn't wear so well as the real fabric,
but think how much cheaper it will be!
Enthusiastic paper manufacturers
say the new woman and the new man
will dine off paper dishes. It is not
improbable that the liat of the future
will be an indestructible paper affair,
impervious to Are or water. Over in
Paris any enterprising milliner will be
able to show you stylish bonnets and
hats made entirely of paper, frame,
trimming, ornaments and all. Parasols
of paper do not seem to have been
thought of yet, but satchels and trunks
of paper are common enough. The pa
per trunk, despite Its frail sound, is
the despair of the baggage smasher.
It refuses to smash.
So do paper car wheels. They have
been in use for years on some of the
most important railroads in this coun
try. It must not be supposed that the
wheels are made entirely of paper.
This material only forms the interior
shell. Having been subjected to terrific
pressure, it is molded and firmly bolt
ed to the outer rim, which is of steel.
Greater durability and lightness are
claimed for these wheels, but don't let
the idea of lightness lead you to get
under one. If you do, you may possi
bly have use for one of the paper cof
fins which are being turned out at
wholesale by a firm at Westfleld,
Mass.
The railroad train of the future is
likely not only to have paper wheels,
but to run on paper rails. These are
made entirely of paper, and are formed
in molds under great pressure. They
have been used to some extent in Rus
sia nnd Germany, and are said to be
free from many of the defects of the
ordinary steel rail.
Taper horseshoes are another Euro
pean Invention. Among the advan
tages claimed for them is that they
maintain a rough surface, enabling
the horse to get a good grip on the
smooth pavements. German paper
makers have put on the market a sub
stance called "papier sculptor," which
Is used instead of clay for- modeling.
It is simply paper pulp kept soft
enough to be worked. Papiermache
ceilings nnd wall decorations are very
fashionable. They may look like leath
er or brocade or a thousand and one
liaudsomo embossed effects, but they
are wood pulp, just the same.
The house-furnishing departments in
the big shops furnish interesting evi
dence of the extent to which paper en
ters into ordinary life. Paper pails and
tubs are appreciated by the suburban
dweller who hasn't "set" tubs. They
are much lighter and easier to keep
clean, as well as cheaper than the old
style. So is the much-abused cuspidor.
Peach baskets, berry baskets and but
ter boxes are made of paper, and al
most everything under the sun—salt,
which used to come in pretty blue and
white bags; oatmeal, crackers, Ice
cream, candy, shoes, corsets, dresses
is sent home in a paper box. In Japan,
they say. some folks live in paper
houses, and in this country paper boats
are in use. Nor must the necessary
6ewer pipe be forgotten. Paper pipes
for carrying water, steam or electric
ity are not uncommon. As conduits
for electricity they are considered safe,
even though the wire be not insulated.

THE OLD CHURCH BELL,
Iligh up o'er tho heads of the peoplo
That pass like vague ships on the street,
It hangs in its home in tho steeple,
That throbs with tho wind's rhythmic beat;
What heeds it tho world or its noises ?
What recks it of traffic's loud din?
Of tears, or tho clamor of voices
That speak of tho light hearts within?
Enough that its duty is ringing
In every condition of weather,
Enough that its mission is bringing
The spiritual household together;
Enough that it strikes for tho hours
That speed in a ne'er-ending chain,
Aud chimes over nuptial flowers.
And tolls for the funeral train.
Enough that it speaks to the mothers
lu clear, unmistakable tones,
And fathers and sisters and brothers,
From all the earth's populous zones;
Enough that it brings to tho altar
Tho ones who have strayed from the truth,
As well as the weak ones who falter
'Mid trials unknown in their youth.
So there, while the pale stars aro marching,
And rivers roll on to tho sea,
And heaven's blue vault is o'er-arohiug,
The bell in its belfry will be;
And then, when its mission is ended;
And turned is tho last buftal sod,
Its echoes full-toned will bo blended
With trumpets that call us to God.

AN ANNIVERSARY.
[ \ DATE SELKIRK
"ST ar were quietly
1 PT r '-M I married m tho dear
f, J JPip''rsSak/ little churehof our
W t nft tive village, and
K/3 W ns Mnir had al-
I ' \ ready secured era

II H M!) tftut town of some
M K -- R yj importance, wo lott
I fflk- "i|l \ * shortly after the
/ ceremony for our
/ -Ai \ future home.
V A AVesecured board
' in a private
family, and lived in this way until the
birth of our bahv boy, who came to
gladden our hearts ten months before
the opening of my story.
Soon after this important event
we rented a cosey little cottage in the
suburbs* of town, and after securing
the service of iny old ldnck ".Mammie,"
settled down in an humble establish
ment of our own.
Wo had lived thus about six mouths,
when tho third anniversary of our
maringe rolled around. Wo decided
to celebrato tho occasion by inviting
Adair's best friend, Oscar Davenport,
aud his wife (who had been a school
mate of my own), together with our
minister aud his wife, to a 5 o'clock
dinner; after which we anticipated a
delightful evening together.
> Old Mammie and I were in a (luttor
of excitement over tho prospects of
giving our first entertainment, and we
spared no pains in arranging to have
everything served iu our best possible
Rtylo. In order that this might be
done I engaged tho services of a waiter
from ono of tho hotels, and ho was to
present himself at the cottage at noon.
Tho morning of tho third dawned
cloudy and cold. A thick mist filled
tho air and the clouds threatened a
heavy rain before noon. As I kissed
Adair goodby at 8 I had many fore
bodings of a sad termination to my
anticipated day's pleasure.
•Tlist as tho clock struck 12 the door
bell rang, nnd as Mammie left the ice
cream freezer to answer it she said,
with a sigh of relief: "Well, dat
waiter's on time, nnd l's pow'fnl glad
on it, 'caze turniu' dis here crank ain't
no easy job, I tell you. He sho' is
welcome."
In a f3w minutes sho returned, fol
lowed by tho boy James, and handed
me a note which had just been left by
a scrvaut from the rectory. Oil open
ing it I read as follows:
"DEAR FUIEND— Mr. Clarke was
takon sick suddenly in tho night.
Early this morning I called in our
physician, who pronounced his case
to bo moro serious than we at first
supposed. He will require careful
nursing for several days, so it will bo
■impossible for us to bo with yon to
night. We send our best wishes for a
pleasant evening aud for many happy
returns of this day. Your friend,
"ANNIE CLARKE. "
Just then tho rain cams down in a
steady patter, and with a sigh which
gave expression to my disappoint
ment, I went over to tho window ami
,stood gazing out into tho gloomy
6treet.
"Come, now, Miss Cressio, honey,
don't bo a 'dulgin' in no sieh sor'lul
thoughts. Jist turn your mine back
fer three years, and think uv how
happy you was dat night as you wont
er ridin' up to do ehu'eh do'. Mars
'Dare'll be hero presently, and ef'n de
company don't come ho and de baby'll
be here, and Wt;'li 'joy our own selves
jist as much a3 ef'il dey all had been
here."
I saw much wisdom in Mammie's
remarks, nnd immediately resolved
that I would not allow the disappoint
ment to cast a shadow over tho third
anniversary of my wedding day, and
began a romp with baby, who sat tied
in his high ohair by tho table amusing
himself with the big kitchen spoon.
Thus some timo passed pleasantly
away, when James announced that the
table was ready for my inspection.
The afternoon was now far ad
vanced, and after changing my dress
1 seated myself in tho little parlor,
with .baby asleep in my arms, anx
iously awaiting my husband's return,
as I knew he would make every effort
to get off from the office at an earlier
hour than usual. Presently the wel
come sound of his footsteps greeted
my ears, nnd soon he stood beside me.
"Isn't it too bad," I saidasl tucked
baby away on the sofa, "that we
should have such a miserable evening
for our first effort at hospitality?"
"It is, indeed, my little wife, but it
is just as well so—a greater disap
pointment is jet in store for you. I
have received instructious from Mr.
Benedict to meet liis partner in the
oity to-night on important business for
the firm. In order to catch the train
I must leave you in half an hour. Dav
enport is to accompany me; therefore
you need not expect him or his wife."
I felt on the verge of a flood of
tears, and my face must have given
expression to my feelings, for my hus
band drew mo close within his arms
and said : "Don't give way to those
feelings, but listen to mo. I have
some good news to tell yon. The
property I owned in Marville has at
last found a purchaser, and as real es
tate has gone up there I received for
it S3OOO in cash. Tho money came to
me by express this evening, and as I
had no time tc go back to the bank, I
must trust it to your care for the
night."
So saying, ho placed the package in
my hands.
"I shall be in the city only a few
hours," he continued,"and will return
by the night express, so you may look
for me about 2 o'clock in the morning.
Don't make up your mind to bo mis
erable while I'm gone, but retire early
and sleep well, and dream pleasant
dreams about how you will spend some
of the money you have there."
Ho was soon goDe, and I watched him
until ho was out of sight; then turn
ing from the window, I threw myself
into a large armchair before the (ire,
and did just what Adair had told me
not to do—burst into a flood* of tears.
After indulging myself in this fem
inine weakness for about twenty min
utes I felt equal to the task of break
ing the news of grent disappointment
to Mammie. When I had told her of
Adair's return and departure,her phil
osophical turn of mind caused her to
remark : "Well, honey, man he 'poses,
and God lie desposes! Sbo'ly dey
ain't no tellin' what a day'll bring
forth ! Here we is done been er work
in' all day—fer what? Jist to teach
you a lesson in pachunca! and dat you
musn't set yer heart on nuffin' in die
life ! Well! el'u we wants to git those
things put away 'fore dark, we'd bet
ter git about it. Jemes you kin jist
fold up do table liuen, and put up de
silver, and I'll tend to puttin' up de
vittles."
It took us but a short time to undo
tho work which had occupied us all
three since noon and after having
paid James and dismissed him, I re
turned to the parlor whore baby still
lay sleeping.
As the rain was still falling in tor
rents, I resolved to remain down stairs
until Mammie had finished her night's
work and would bo able to accompany
ino up stairs. I have never been a
timid woman; but that uight, as I sat
alone listeniug to the wind whistle
about the house corners and driving
tho rain drops furiously against the
shutters, a feeling of great uneasiness
took possession of me—a strange fore
boding of approaching evil.
In vain did I endeavor to shako it
oft'. When Mammie cumo in we made
a tour of inspection to see that the
house was securely fastened, and then
we ascended tho stairs to my own
arpartmeuts. Thanks to Mammie, a
bright fire was burning in the grate,
and when the lamps were lighted baby
opened wido his eyes and announced
his intention of keeping awake. At
uny other time I should havo been im
patient at his obstinate wakefulness,
but to-night I gave him all the en
couragement he needed. While baby
and I engaged in a great romp, Mam
mie nodded to us from her seat in the
corner. It was twelvo o'clock and
still baby seemed not to grow tired.
Ileaning forward to place him on
the carpet before me, I distinctly
heard a noise in tho direction of the
bed. Turning my eyes that way I es
pied a foot protruding from under the
mosquito bar that fell in folds to the
floor.
My breath almost left me. I felt
myself grow weak and fuiut, but som
woning all the courage iu iny nature
I went on playing with baby. I
thought of tho S3OOO which my hus
band hud given mo, aud I felt sure
that if any one had overheard our
conversation at tho timo he gave the
money, that person also knew that
Adair expected to reach home at 2.
It was then nearly 12, and tho robber
would soon grow impatient with wait
ing, come out from his placo of con
cealment and demand of mo the money,
nnd, perhaps, murder us all. Some
thing must be done, anil done quick
ly. After turning over iu my mind
many plans of escape from our hidden
enemy, 1 decided upon this scheme :
"Mammie," I said, "I hear a noiso
downstairs at the kitheu window. I
believe some one is trying to break
into the house. Wake up—get the
caudle, aud we'll frightom them oft*.
Here is Adair's pistol; you take baby
and give me tho candle. I aai not
afraid. Now follow mo—but wait! I
havp S3OOO about me that Adair left
in my keeping, and I must conceal it
in this room for fear of accident. I'll
just put it on the 6helf in tho closet
here until we return."
So saying I opened tho closet door
aud pretended to hide away tho pack
age. Coming out, I closed the door
tightly, and, followed by Mammie,
went out into the hall, closing iny
bedroom door behind me. I then
hurriedly whispered to Mammie what
I had seen, and bade her take the cau
dle and go on down stairs with baby,
who still kept up his chatter. I took
a stand at the door and listened until
I heard the closet door hastily open ;
stealthily I turned the bolt of tho
chamber door, rushed toward the
closet, slammed and lucked the door,
at the same time calling to Mammie to
return.
As the closet had been fitted up for
the reception of our silver, given to
us as wedding present?, I knew tho
lock was strong; and as the burglar
had been surprised he had about him
DO tools that would enable him to ef
fect his escape. Therefore I armed
myself with Adair's pistol, and Mam
mie and baby and I kept watch over
ray prisoner until wo were relieved at
2 o'clock by the arrival of my hus
band.
Going out into the street, he sum
moned a policeman. The burglar was
brought out handcuffed and carried
away.
I was not surprised to recognize the

Brought to Light.
At a general election in England, a
candidate personally unknown to tho
voters of o certain borough was a9ked
by party leaders to stand for it. Ho
belonged to a good family, and was a
barrister of promise in London. His
path to success was open, as tho
borough belonged to his party. But
when he mounted the platform to
address tho electors, after a sentence
or two he suddedlv became pale and
confused, his eyes fixed on a board op
posite ou which was scrawled with
charcoal, "Forty pounds!" He
stumbled through a short speech, and
then hurriedly loft the stand.
A few days later he rose to speak in
another town, and again the myster
ious words written in black on tho
wall confronted him. Again ho left
tho platform, and that night retired
from the contest for tho seat in Parlia
ment. Not long afterward he disap
peared from public life, and retirod to
an English colony where he hid him
self on a ranch. The words, it was
found, referred to a theft committed
in his youth, which he supposed had
been forgotten.
Alexis Pirou, the French poet and
satirist, sought for many years to ob

he was a boy, was brought to light,
and he knew that the door of the
Academy was closed in his face for
ever.

Metal Workers of Asia.
Among the half civilized peoples of
Central Asia are many artistic workers
in metals. Ono of these Natious or
tribes, the Barates, is famous for in
laid work. The Russians call these
workmen "Bratskaya Bobnta." They
use gold, tin and silver for inlaid work
on iron. The art has been practiced
by them for thousauds of years, and
their skill has been recorded in the
ancient folk songs of Asia. A writer
describing their work say they ham
mer the silver, gold or tin very thiu.
Then the part of tho object to bo in
laid is made rough with a hummer,
tho surface of which is roughened like
a file. Templets of birch bark servo
to cut the metal iuto tho proper shape,
which is laid upou tho heated object
and lightly liammored into the rougli
surface, then heated to a blue color,
aud the inlaid metal is hammered
smooth with a polished hammer.—

If she writes a bitter of condolence
it seems to corao from the heart, for if
it does not sound that way she will
not let its coldness further grieve a
bereaved one; and if sho sends con
gratulations to a bride or a mother
she makes a point of recollecting or
looking up some rousing good wishes
that have the ring of genuine inter

The Poison of the Oruithorhynchus.
The hind feet of tho oruithorhynch

gland? From some apparently trust
worthy accounts that have reached him,
Mr. Stewart thinks we havo. This
gland is at least venomous at a certain
season. A dog was wounded by ono
of these spurs threo times, and tho
symptoms the first time were those of
pain and somnolence, but there wore
no convulsions-, titubations or tremb
ling. Upon the two other occasions,
the symptoms were less pronounced,

Caught Galvin's Only Hit.
Umpire Galvin's decisions in the re
cent Chicago-Pittsburg series of ball
games have caused a great deal of talk
among the "fans" and incidentally has
brought out a great many stories about
the genial James. One of these re
lates to James when he was at the
zenith of his fame as a pitcher. All
season Galvin bad been twirling in rare
form, but his batting, never strong, had
been particularly weak. The others
used to say that when Jimmy saw a
hot one coming across the plate he
would shut his eyes and "swipe" at it.
The season was drawing to an end and
Galvin had made scarcely a hit. It
was a critical point in the game, with
two out and the bases full, when Gal
vin walked to the plate. Every one ex
pected him to shut his eyes and fan the
air. lie may have closed his eyes when
a swift one came toward him, but he
didn't fan the air—he caught the ball
with the end of his bat and sent a sky
scraper far into center. It was a beau
tiful hit and gave the fielder a race to
the limits, where, as the ball came
down, he reached out aud gathered It
in—a phenomenal running one-hand
catch. Galvin had reached second
when he saw the fielder gather in his
solitary long hit of the season. He
kept on running, straight into the cen
ter-fielder's garden and directly for that
individual, breathing fire. The player
who had gathered in Galvin's only hit
saw liim coming, recognized his dan
ger and scaled the fence for a safety.
Jimmy Galvin never forgave him for
catching what was apparently a home
run.

Every one in the vicinity of Meldrum ave

Mrs. McDonald, and many a neighbor has
reason to foel grateful to her for the kind
and friendly interest she has manifested in
cases of illness.
She is a kind-hearted friend, a natural
nurse, and an intelligent and refined lady.
To a reporter she recently talked at some
length übout Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, giv
ing some very interesting instances in her
own immediate knowledge of marvelous
euros, and the universal beneficence of the
remedy to those who had used it.

Jameson and he vaccinated her. I never

j suid he never did. Sho was broken out ou
' her shoulders and back and was just as sick
j as sho could be. To add to it all neuralgia
set in, and the poor child was in misery. She
j is naturally of a nervous temperament and

the Pink Pills, but I got some for her aud
they cured hor right up. She has a nice color
