In Ashes.

The farm residence OF Mr.. John
Rowan, ST., living near Liyermore, in
Mclean county, was consumed by fire
on last Thursday, including his entire
household plumber save one bed. We
do not know the loss, but it is suf

was no insurance, hence an entire loss.

Quaker and without money or friends.
He didn't look exactly like broadbrim,
nor did he talk like one, but the money
was given him and watch set on his
further progress. He went directly to a
saloon, and was in the act of drinking a
glass of whisky when the man who had
given him the money entered and said
"That's what you wanted money for,
eh? ?"

"Don't you ever come into our store

if you Will write down the name and

NOVEL USE OF PAPER.

During the last few years, paper has
found constantly increasing uses. Boats,
car-wheels, furniture, clothing, roofing,
are few of the new applications of this
material. We now hear that sheathing
of paper is employed on ships to protect
them from weeds, shells or barnacles.
The discovery Of this use was made by
accident. A short time since a vessel
was placed in the dry dock at Ports
mouth, England, for examination and re-
pairs. For some unexplained purpose
several sheets of sheathing- paper were
attached to the bottom of the ship by
marine-glue, and left there after the YES
sci was launched. On the return of the
ship after a long voyage, it was found
that, while the bottom was everywhere else
overloaded with barnacles, the part pro-
tected by the paper was absolutely free
from them. Experiments were imme-
diately instituted, which served to con-
firm previous observations, and patent
vas Immediately obtained for papering
ships bottoms. AS the paper can be
saturated with poisonous chemicals, it
will serve to protect the ship from the
boring insects as well as from accumula-
lions OF weeds and barnacles.

H4NUF4C OF PAPER

Paper made from linen was known in
Spain as early as 1910, or whereabouts.
and the same authority states that sew
eral paper mills were in operation in
Spain rs early as 1885, the art being in
troduced into France and Germany some
two centuries later. Paper was made in
England during the reign of Henry
VIII. but the first paper mill of any
Importance was established by a Ger
man, named John Spellman, who was
leweler to Queen Elizabeth The first
paper mill in the United States was erect
ed at Roxborough, near Germantown.

DISEASE AND FUNERALS.

There is good reason to believe that
disease is occasionally disseminated
through the medium of funerals. We
have at least one fairly authenticated in
stance in this country of diphtheria being
diffused broadcast through the crowding
incidental, occasionally, to the last cere-
mony. In America this question is be-
ginning to receive much attention, and
several cases have been reported of late
where the transmission of the disease
from the corpse seemed highly probable
The Suffolk District Medical Society sent
out 400 circulars to medical practitioners
with view to ascertain the opinion of
the profession on the alleged danger of
permitting public funerals of persons
who had died of diphtheria. Two hun
dred and thirty-nine answers were re-
ceived, of which 143 writer's express q
firm belief in the possible danger of con-
tagion at such funerals, seventeen be-
heve that there is danger from funerals
in the houses of the dead, but none in
churches, twenty-nine fancy that in the
present state of knowledge there is no
justification in prohibiting public funer-
ais, and eight record circumstances which
occurred in their own experience confirm
atory of the proposition that peril may
ensue, but the testimony these latter adj
vance is not quite satisfactory The So
ciety, after the consideration, recommend
that funerals at the houses of those who
have died of diphtheria should be pri-
vate, owing to possible exposure to the
poison of the disease. paper.
