VARIED UsK or PAPEH PULP. - The
varied and extending use Of papor pulp
at tho present time, is illustrated in
the manufacture Of such articles as
water pals, which are being made in
large quantities Of that material. and
are found to answer an excellent pur.
pose. In the ordinary way Of making
pals, the separate parts or staves ere
cut, one at u time, from the log Of wood,
and. in this process, all the chips and
smaller pieces are wholly wasted-that
Is, so far as the real object Of the man

producing o paper pail, however, the
fibrous material Is Of course wholly
utilized. and. il the origina. stock is
wood-as IN Iart it may be then the
large proportion that would be wasted
in chips and debris is entirely saved.

Quite a scene occurred in the Law
Court at Nashville the other day 10
the divorce case OF John Hen
drlcks VS.. Mary Hendricks. As
one Of the Witnesses was leaving
the courtroom, Mrs. Hendricks
followed her, exclaiming "You
shan't have my Johnny! You
sHAN'r have my Johnny and
marching up n 'front of the Judges
chair, accused the witness of
having oeen, sweet OF her husband.
Whereupon the Court demanded
that she should behave herself
or leave the courtroom. Instead
of leaving, however, she threw her
self into Hendricks lap, rocking
back and forth, and crying, ooh,
my Johnny, you won't leave me
Nobody shall have my Johnny, LII
die by him"
This exhibition of affection is
very seldom witnessed in the court
room, and it called forth the ap-
plause OF the Court, bar and spec

One word right here. 1t is evident
to every man of thought, to every
mai of unbiased mind that b eforc
there can be any reform in the af-
fairs of this country there must be
reform in the rulers. As | ong as
We have such men in power as we
have now, we can not expect any
change except for the worse.
When we say this we judge the
future BY the past. You say that
Hayes will not do anything dis
honest. Wedon't say that be w,ll but
we do say that no one Of the
Hayes stripe can reform this coun.
try. The power behind the throne
must be changed or this COVE m.

in their turn promise reform, and
better times. They can stop the
stealing that has been going On in
the past. They can put honest
men at the head of our government

self and needs no eulogies from our
weak pen. But the secret of the
hard times is not entirely in either
party. It is with the people them
selves. AS long as we spend our
money ON the useless luxeries of
life, and all the time find fault be-
cause we can not provide for the
wants Of our families. We need ex.
pect nothing but hard times, as lonp
as d imports are greater than our
exports. This country will be poor

Old Prices and ECONOMY.

New York hotel proprietors and
hsckmen are complaining that West
ern people are beating down their
prices. 1t IS about time. War rates
after q long peace panic ought to Be
cut down to a common-sense stand
ard. That our people are sensible
enough to consider their expenses at
all, Is a healthy sign. 1t shows that
while they have got money to spend
in a proper enjoyment, they have
reached the point of calculative rea-
soning to do 80 with a jus. economy.
For ten years Americans spent
the money they made by the war
with a reckless abandon that was
perhaps never equalled. This ex-
travagance broke down the natural
divisions Of society and ruined hun
dreds of thousands. 1t did far
worse. It corrupted the public NOR.
ais. Men and women lived for the
appearances of grades to which they
had not been born, or raised, or ed.
ucased, and in the ridiculous effort
to sustain themselves, became IRE.
trievably bankrupted in name and
pocket. 1t is a grand knowledge to
possess that our people are prof ting
by the past. 1t has been a hard and
bitter lesson to learn, but it IS a les
