PRAY, how is paper made"
The question is easy to ask,
But to answer it fully, my dear,
Were rather d ficult task
And Yet in a bsnterlng way,
As the whip poor-will sings in the glade,
I'll venture bit Of a lay
To tell how paper is made.
An editor sits at his desk,
And ponders the things that appear
To DO claiming the thoughts OF the world
Things solemn, and comic and queer
And when he has hit on q theme
He judges it we'll to parade,
He writes, and he writes. and he writes,
And that's how paper is made.
An editor sits at his desk,
And puzzles his brains to make out
"Tslegraphic." so ,qusbbled and mixed,
It is hard to tell what it's about.
Exchanges are lying around
While waiting dispatches delayed,
He clips, and be clips, and he clips,
And that's how paper is made.

In search OF the things that are new
Tbs things that the people have done,
The things the, re intending 10 do

For items Of many a grade;

And that's how piper is made.
And all that these workers prepare,
OF every conceivable stripe,

Then he prints, and he prints, and he prints,
And that's how q paper is made.

EAST HARDwIcK.-A shocking and fatal
accident occurred here last Saturday morn

gun and went out to shoot woodchucks. His
family hearing the report of his gun, and
seeing nothing of him, became anxious and
went in search of him. They found him
lying dead by stone wall, with his head
and face shockingly msngled. 1t would

AUTUMN LEAVES, AND How TO PREPARE
TnEM.-Press the leaves carefully between
newspapers, taking care to avoid tapping
over one another. The next day take out
the leaves and dry the papers. Put the
leaves again in press. and the next day re-
peat the driving process. This should be
done three or four times, until all the moist
ure is extracted from the leaves. This is
troublesome, but the result will be brilliant.
II the face of each leaf. after the first press
ing, is brushed over with sulphuric acid,
diluted one-half with water, the color will
be still brighter. Do not wax or varnish
the leaves. as it gives them an unnatural
gloss. They can be made into sprays or
garlands by means Of the fine wire which
florists use, twisted around their stems.

AN idle rumor came sailing in over
the telegraph wires on Tuesday morn
ing bearing the information that great
railroad strike had broken ont in Chicago.
Later in the day came news to the effect
that the Governor of Illinois had called
upon Governor Ludington to send down
few companies of militia to assist in
quelling the riot, and that the Manitowoc
company would receive marching orders
forthwith. Capt. Becker buckled on
his armor and caused the long roll to be
beat, knowing that his faithful followers
ever true to the necessities of the oc-
casion when key of foaming lager was
to be vanquished,- would Immediately
gather around him. They came The
heroes of an hundred pic MICS with the
exception of those who had been sud-
denly called away to Mishicott, Coop
erston, or some other out-of the-way
place. gathered around their leader and
demanded to be led to the-nearest beer
saloon. Excitement ran high for a time
and as the patriotic urch1ns gazed upon
the shining brass buttons of the uniforms
aud saw the dangerous light in the sol
diers' eyes it reminded one of the dark
days of 61-64. But the marching orders
didn't come and as the chances for an
opportunity to battle in gore faded from
the eyes of our home guards, Capt.
bard and exclaiming in thunder tones

he broke through the crowd and in an
other moment was lost to all sense of
war and its accompanying horrors in a
game of casino with Fred Pautz and

BASE BALL.

The Manitowocs. who left this city On
Tuesday morning of last week returned
on Saturday night. They played the
Amateurs of Oshkosh on Thursday and
beat them fairly by II to 8, which was
the score at the end Of tie eighth inning,
although by outrageous decisions by the
umpire i'll the ninth they were compelled
to put out five players which allowed
the Amateurs to score six runs, making
the game then IL to 10. On Friday
they played a second game at Fond du
Lac, winning it easily by score of 81
to ID. and on Saturday gave the Sheboy-
gan Falls Stars drubbing in score of
IL to 8. Mr.. w. J. Turner, who accom-
panied the boys rs manager, was COM
PEELED to leave the club at Fond du Lac,
being called to Port Washington by the
illness Of his wife, and from that time
until their return the boys had to look
out for themselyes--which they succeed
ed in doing iii creditable manner
Frank Jones was unable to pitch owing
to disabled hand, and while McCarty
filled the position very creditably it took
him from his regular position of short
stop and the game suffered, of course,
and considering the disadvantages thus
encountered, they played remarkably
well. The boys did some powerful bat
ting and splendid fielding, Nash and
Platt having the best record at the bat.
At Oshkosh, Charleston received ter
rible blow in the face from q ball--such
a Slick" in fact, as would induce an or
binary man to stop playing. But ED.
die" didn't allow it to interfere with his
splendid catching at ali Financially,
the nine is ''out" some SIS or $40
caused partly by the managers OF the
Fond du Lac nine swindling them out
of guaranteed amount. Of course the
boys behaved themselves like the gentle
men they We're, and all enjoyed the trip
immensely. Out OF the six games played
they won five, making a record of which
they and the Association may well be
proud.

LAST FRIDAY large number of rail-
road employees in Baltimore struck
against reduction in their wages. I'm
der cover of the excitement a mob of
roughs and bummers turned themselves
loose upon the city and made use of the
occasion to burn and pillage. The
militia was called ont to quelI the riot
ers and the result was that many were
killed and wounded, among others q
number Of women and children. From
Baltimore the disorder spread to Pitts
burg, since which strikes have been
made all along the lines of the great
trunk lines-particularly in the large
cities. Hundreds of lives and millions
in property have already been sacrificed,
and the end is not yet. All traffic be-
tween the east and west has ceased and
the railroad business of the country is
at a stand still. In Chicago and some
other large railroad centres precautions
have been taken to quell any riot, and a
faint hope is held out that no more vio-
lence will be reported.

WE have examined with care the new
work on the Eastern Question,


1.-THE CROSS AND THE CRESCENT,
of which the publishers, Messrs. Hub
bard Brothers, of Philadelphia. have
kindly sent us the advance sheets. This
by the well-known historian, DIR. L. P.
Brockett, whose previous works on our
Late Civil War, the Seven Weeks War,
the Franco German War, ETC., have had
such large sales. No work yet issued,
or likely to be issued on this question,
which is now absorbing the attention of
both Europe and America, can compare
with this in fullness, accuracy, and in
terest. We have here in condensed form
but written IN a most attractive style,
the history, religion, and social life, not
only of Russia and Turkey, but of the
principalities, and the countries ada
cent the relations of the great powers
of Europe to the Contending Nations,
the causes which led to the war, the
positions of the tributary states, the re-
Iigious and social conditions of the PROV
inces where the instruction began, and
the whole history, as it has never been
told elsewhere, of the horrible massacres
and outrages in Bulgaria, year ago, in
the words of those who were eyewitness
SEES. We have also a full account of the
earnest efforts of the Great Powers to
prevent war, and the circumstances of
word picture birds eye view OF the
whole situation, and of all parties con-
cerned, as it was on the day of the de-
claration of war. Appended to this clear
and deeply interesting narrative, we have
biographical sketches of the leading
actors in this great drama, not dry bigo-
graphical dictionary notes, but portrait
ures which enable you to read the souls
of the men, and to understand the mo
tives of their action.
The whole book is q most valuable
contribution to modern history. The
price is very low, for it has over
500 pages, and so elegant illustrations,
and every man and woman, and every
boy and girl in the community, ought
to possess and read it. The farmer
needs it to learn how those far off lands,
with their semi-savage inhabitants are
able to compete successfully with him
in the culture of grain, of silk, of fruits,
and of cotton the merchant. to show
him how he can buy to the best advan
tage the products of those distant coun
tries, and what he can best sell them of
our productions the manufacturer, to
learn how to adapt his goods to the wants
of these strange races the sailor, to as
certain what are their best ports and
harbors and our children, to increase
their knowledge OF other lands, and peo-
pie that dwell in them 4; and all who
read the news, to enable them to com
prehend the situation and understand
the important events that are effecting
momentus changes in nations, religions
and civilization.

taken from pile of sawdust near Lob

has lain exposed to the heat of the sun
all of the present and part of the last
summer. The sawdust was originally
covered by a house, in which the ice
was deposited some three years ago.
