The real possibility and advantage of
the varied and extending use of paper
pulp is illustrated in the manufacture of
such things as water pals, which are now
made in large numbers of paper pulp, as
well as of wooden slaves.
In the old way of making pals the
separate parts or slaves are cut, one at a
time, from the log of wood, and, in max
ing them, all the chips and smaller pieces
are wholly wasted, so far as the real OBJ
ieet of manufacture is concerned. In
makinga paper pail, however, the tibrous
material is wholly utilized, and if the
original stock is wood, as in part it may
be, then that which would be wasted in
chips and in fag ends is entirely saved.
Those who make paper tell us that
thus far they have barely entered on some
of their new lines of product.-Scribner
tor Afay.

/.
No maddening thirst for blood had they,
No battle joy was theirs who set
Against the alien bayonet
Their homespun breasts in that old day.
Their feet had trodden peaceful ways,
They loved not strife, they dreaded pain;
They saw not what to us is plain,
That God would make mans wrath his praise.
No seers were they. but simple men;
Its vast results the future hid;
The meaning Of the work they did
Was strange and dark and doubtful then.
Swift as the summons came they left
The plow, mid-furrow, standing still,
Tne half ground corn grist in the mill
The spade in earth, the ak in cleft.
They went where duty seemed to call;
They scarcely asked the reason why;
They only knew they could but die,
And death was not the worst Of all.
VI.
Of man for man the sacrifice,
Unstained by blood, save theirs, they gave,
The flowers that blossomed from their grave
Have sown themselves beneath all skies.
VII.
Their death-shot shook the feudal tower,
And shattered slavery's chain as well;
On the sky's dome, as on a bell,
Its echo struck the worlds great hour.
VIII.
The fateful echo is not dumb;
The nations, listening to the sound,
Wait, from century's underground,
The holier triumphs yet to come
TX.
The bridal day of Law and Love,
The gladness of the worlds release,
When, war-sick, at the feet of Peace
The hawk shall nestle with the dove
x.
The golden age of brotherhood,
Unknown to others rivalries
Than of the mild humanities,
And gracious interchange of good,
XI.
When closer strand shall lean to strand,
Till meet, beneath saluting flags,
The eagle of our mounting crags,
The lion of our Motherland.

Bitten by a Decapitated Rattlesnake.

1t happened to Mr.. Charles Drrry, and
how it happened he himself thus relates
in the columns of the Cincinnati CONNER
ciaL::.
"Mr. Clay Culbertson and 1 were out
hunting, five miles back of Port Or
ange, Florida. While the men whom he
had employed with hounds to hunt the
thiclet for deer were thus engaged I
came across an enormous rattlesnake,
of the species of CrotaLals Horriolus. 1t
was in the blind, just previous to the
moult, consequently more vicious and
venomous than otherwise. 1t was about
six feet in length and fifteen inches in
circumference-the largest one of its
species that had ever seen. The snake,
on perceiving me, started to crawl into
gopher-hole. 1 then shot at and blew
it out of the hole, cutting it almost in
two two more shots were almost i'm
mediately fired into it, one of which cut
off the head, leaving stump of neck at
tached about three inches in length.
Desiring to secure the head for medical
friend in Cincinnati, who wished it for
dissection, I cut off this stump of neck,
and fearing to put the head in my pock-
ct lest in climbing over logs, fences, etc.,
1 might be punctured, with the eangs pro-
trudng through my clothes, I took from
my pocket wad of cotton to cover them.
In forcing down the lower jaw with a
stick six On eight inches long, 1 was
astonished when the head made a spas
modic jump or spring, striking the thumb
E,nf.my .dsxter hand with one of the fangs,
making slight and seemingly insignifi-
cant little wound like pin scratch. 1
applied Immediately a tourniquet to the
thumb, and caused deep incision to be
made at the wounded spot, and then
thoroughly sucked the wound,
starting at the same time for the nearest
whisky, which was two and half miles
away, on reaching which Ipartook there
of copiously, and relaxed the tension
around the thumb. Up to this time no
swelling, no pain or unfavorable symp-
toms were apparent, but on releasing the
hgature the swelling commenced. We
then proceeded to Port Orange, two and
half miles further on, taking an occa-
siona pull at the whisky on the way,
the whisky being the vilest of the vile,
and which was difficult for me to worry
down, never having before in my life
tasted that article.
"On the following morning my arm
and back were enormously swollen and
presented black and congested appear
ance. The treatment followed from this
on was liberal doses of a much improved
quality of whisky, in conjunction with
Bibron's antidote and cold water applica-
tions to the wounded part. 1 way con-
fined closely for about week, receiving
every attention from Col. Len. A. Harris
and DIR. G. NJ. Wallace, very skilful

piration of q week convalesence mani

have steadily improved ever since, and
the only probable results of this novel
but rather unpleasant experience with
rattlesnakes will be the loss of the end of
my thumb, though 1 am consoled by my
surgeon with the assurance of the pos
session of "a beautiful stump"

AGRICULTURAL AND DOMESTIC
The Old Farmhouse.

The Old Farmhouse.
o, dear the old farmhouse to mel
The homely ways, the ample cheer,
The refuge at my mothers knee
From childhood's every grief and fear.
And dear the memory of those days
Bathed in loves amber atmosphere,
When all our voices rose in praise,
When sire and child were bowed in prayer.
But where are they,
The fond, the gay,
Who filed the great white house in May?
Gone like the birds from last years nest!
Conc as the leaves in autumn flyi
Some to the cities of the West;
Some toll beneath an Indian sky;
Some, other prairies SOW and reap;
One sank beneath the moaning sea
Some in the churchyard lie asleep,
And, quivering in the old roof-tree,
One homesick waits
The swing of gates
To watt her to heavens bright estates!

The women of a Colorado town got
up suffrage meeting the other day-no
men being admitted. No business OF
importance was transacted, however, be-
cause some invisible miscreant let down
a live rat through the skylght, and,
amid shrieks and screams, the assem-
blage suddenly adjourned.

The Bread We Eat.

The nutritive properties of the bread
we eat are well worthy of consideration.
The solid parts of the human body con-
sist principally of three portions the
fat, the muscle and the bone, and these
three substances, being liable to constant
waste, must be renewed from the food.
The fluid parts of the body contain these
substances in liquid form, on their way
to or from the several parts of the body,
where they are required. They include |
also o portion of salt or saline matter
which is also obtained from the food.
Now it is evident that the food which is
best calculated to nourish the body is
that which contains all the Ingredients |
which are required to form its solid and
liquid parts. The three substances most
needed exist plentifully in vegetable
food.
There is much difference between the
fine -four and whole meal of wheat when
their nutritive points are carefully ex-
amined. The grain of wheat consists Of
two parts, the inner grain and the skin
that covers it. The inner gives the pure
white -four, the outer, when separated,
forms the bran. The miller cannot en-
tirely separate the bran, but by the aid
of machinery he does SO more or less
completely; his seconds, middlings, etc.,
owing their color to the proportion of
bran contained in them. The whole
meal, of which brown household bread
is made, consists of the entire grain
ground together-used as it comes from
the mill stones, unsifted, therefore con-
tanning all the bran.
b. The first -four, therefore, contains
scarcely any bran, while the whole meal
contains all the bran as well as the flour.
How much do they respectively contain
of the several constituents of the human
body and how much is contained in the
bran?
From analyses made by the late Prof.
Johnston, of England, 1000 of the
Fat, lbs.
Whole grain of wheat contains. %
Bran. ..................6O
From this it appears that bran is much
richer in fat than the inferior part of the
grain, and whole meal is richer than the
fine -four in the proportion of nearly one
half.
From experiments made with wheat
and Indian corn 1t was aScerta1ned that
1000 pounds of the fine -four contained
of muscular matter respectively:
Whole Grain, Fine Flour,
lbs. lbs.
Mheat.... ...... lo6 lou
lndlan corn .---.-.-...-.......-.l l4u llu
1t will be seen from this that the whole
grain of wheat contains one-fifth more of
the material out of which animal muscle
is to be formed, than the finest flour
does.
Of bone material and saline matter,
which may be called the mineral constit-
uents of the animal body, 1000 pounds
of bran, whole meal, and fine flour con-
tain, respectively:

From this it appears that in regard to
this important part of food necessary to
man and domestic animals, and especial
ly to the young who are growing, and to
the mother who is giving milk, whole
meal is three times more nourishing than
fine -four. Western Rural

A shocking disaster, resulting in large loss
of life, is reported from New Orleans. The
steamer John Kyle one of the largest Missis-
sippi steamers, while lying at the levee, was
discovered to be on fire. As soon as the alarm
was sounded people rushed to the scene, and
some $50 went on board the steamer Exporter
to view the fire. The Kyle was soon cut loose
and the eddy foated her up stream. About
the same time B. F. Burch, mate of the Lizzie
Taylor, fearing that his vessel would be burned
cut the Exporters cable, which was the most
unfortunate thing that could have been done
The Exporter, crowded with people, most of
them citizens, drifted after the burning Kyle,
and the moment she touched was in blaze
quite a distance from the shore. A terrible
scene ensued. In an instant those on board
the Exporter became aware of their position,
and had choice of two alternatiyes-either to
take the chances Of the water or remain and

THE New York Times contains an ar
ticle on authenticated cases of extra
ordinary longevity in that city, and
gives list of ninety-one persons 100
years old and upward who have died in
New York during the last ten years.
Over fifty of these old folks were born
in Ireland, and twenty-five were colored.
Two of them attained the extraordinary
age of 113 years. The majority of these
people died of old age. The most of
them were widowed at the time of death,
but several left partners surviving, and a
few had never married.
