PAPER FROM PLASTs.-Durlng
the last ten or fifteen years much
attention has been given to the
plants of various countries by pa
per makers. Almost any plant
will yield paper material; but in
all there is some element which it
is more or less costly to remove
before paper can be proGtably
made. We have in our own coun-
try many plants which do tOler-
ably well. The common rag weed
4El5rosia artimesiaeC olta--has
been rather extensively used the
past year or two, and promises to
hold It's own pretty well. But the
plant which has become most pop
ular in this connection is a grass
-Lygeum spartum-knowH in the
trade as Esparto grass, and which
grows naturally in the marshes OF
South Spain and the coast of the
Mediterranean. In England Es-
parto grass for paper making is
being consumed in immense guam
iities. The London Times Is
printed now entirely on Sparto.
grass paper. and it is the stontest
paper we receive. The native To-
cations have been found too limit
ed for the demand, and plantations
are being made of it in various
parts of Spain where it does moi
naturally grow. 1t is well worthy
of trial in this country; but the
seed seems difficult to get hold of

STREET LIFE IN DANBUEY.-Old
Mr. Watson, on Nelson street, has
got nice little bill to pay. He
sent n man down town for pot of
paint and q ladder. The man got
the paint and then went to the
lumber yard after the ladder. Then
he tied the paint pot on the end OF
the ladder, and put the ladder on
his shoulder. This was very
smart arrangement and the man
himself admired it very mnch. He
started for home in this way and
didn't find any trouble in getting
along the first block, because peo-
pie had an impression that long
ladder with a pot of yellow paint
dangling on the end of it wasn't a
thing to be trified with, so they
balanced along on the curb stone
or rubbed up against the buildings.
Pretty soon the man saw some
body in q store he knew, and he
turned to speak to him, and drove
one end of the ladder into q MILL
HSlA case anu n ltothEl tic CfOn II
out of an eighteen dollar bonnet.
Then he backed off in alright and
knocked down two sewing maching
agents with the other end. Then
he started to turn around, and an
old gentleman who was desperate
~ trying to pun his wife ont oil
danger, saw the peril and yelled
out: .sHi there But it. was toe
late. The pot struck against an
awning post, tipped to one side,
and the entire contents went Over
the aged couple. This so startlee
the man that he whirled complete
~ around, smashing in an eatire

FACILITIES FOR REACHING SUBURBAN RESIDENCES
BY sTRAM-TEE COST or DAILY TRAVEL AND
THE RATES OF COMMUTATIoN-rHE OVERFLOW
MAINLY INTO NEw-JERsEY.
The high prices of land and rent on Manhattan
Island, and the absence of any means of rapid tran
sit from the lower to the upper part have driven
large proportion of those doing business in New York
into the country to find homes, while many doubt
less have chosen suburban residences voluntarily.
All along the railroads leading from the metropolis
towns and villages have sprung up within few years
and are fast becoming united by the rapid settle
ment of the intervening country This is specially
the case on the lines of the railroads which have
been managed in a manner TO encourage settlement,
by Offering comfortable, rapid, and safe means OF
travel and generous rate of commu-
tation of fares. The delay in reach
ing the steam trains penetrating Westchester
County FROM the business parts of the city has
served to retard settlement in northerly direction,
to the great advantage of New-Jersey and Long
Island though neither the ferry nor railroad accom-
modations of the latter equal to the former or
the 2.22O.627 people in metropolitan New York, in
Guiding the suburbs for forty miles in every drec-
ton per cent live in Westminster County, 233 per
cent on Long Island 81. per cent III New-Jersey and
Al! per cent live in New-York. Forty thousand more
nersons live within the distance named in New
Jersey than within the same limits on Long Island
Brooklyn included. In the following article an
effort has been made to show in brief space the char
acter of the railroads leading out of New-York, the
towns along the line of each and the cost of daily
travel to aud from New-York.
