Paper for Houses.

Aslong ago ASSIST company in the
West began the manufacture of building
paper, and nowit has three large mills that
turn out sixteen tons per day. The paper
thus manufactured is "a thick, hard paste
board wound in rolls of twenty-five to
one hundred pounds each, and usually
thirty-two inches wide. While it is
being made it is subjected to an enormous
pressure, which congresses the fibers
into solid body. The sheet becomes abso-
lutcly alright, and as paper is O non-
conductor of heat it resists the action Of
both heat and cold. A building lined
with it resists the entrance of heat in
summer and cold in winter. In case
of fire the paper sheets do not burn so
easily as wood on account of their hard
ness and solidity. This queer building
material has been tried in cold and in
warm climates, and found to work admir-
ably in all conditions and all circuln-
stances

What the Railroad Train Sings.

Lying broad awake in n berth Of a
sleeping car, says Brett Harte, I could
not help making some observations which
I think are not noticed by the day trav-
eler. First, that the speed Of train is
not equal or continuous. That at GER
tain times the engine apparently starts
up, and says to the baggage train behind
it: "Come, come, this won't do Why,
it's nearly half-past two; how shall we
get through b? Don't you talk tome Pooh!
pooh !" delivered in that rythmical fash
ion which all meditation assumes on a
railway train. ErempH gratia: One
night, having raised my window curtain
to look over 1noonlit snowy landscape,
rs I pulled it down the lines of popular
comic song flashed across me. Fatal
error The train instantly took it up, and
during the rest of the night I was haunted
by this awful refrain: "Pull down the
bel-lind, pull down the bel-lind; some
body's klink klink. o don't be shso-
shoe" Naturally this differs on diffe =
ent railways. On the New York Central,
where the road bed is quite perfect and
the steel rails continuous, I Ihaveheard this
irreverent train give the words ola certain
popular revival hymn after this fashion:
"Hold the fort, for I am Sankey, Moody
singers still, wave the swish swosh back
from klinky, klinky, klanly kill" On
the New York and New Haven, where
there are many switches, and the engine
whistles at every cross road, I have often
heard: "Tommy, make room for your
whoopy! that's little clang, bumpity
bumpity boopy, clikitty, clikitty, clang."
Poetry, I fear, Jared little better. One
starlit night, coming from Quebec, as we
slipped by virgin forest, the opening
lines OF Evangeline flashed upon me.
But all could make of them was this {:
"Th;s is this forest prim- eval- l-eval; the
groves of the pines and the hem-locks-
locks-loeks locks-loooock!" The train
was only "slowing" or "braking" up at
a station. Hence the jar in the meteor.

The newest fan suspenders for evening
toilets are mixture of silk cord with
gold or silver thread, and finished with
tassels to match.
None but young girls under twenty
dance nowadays in Paris, as their gauze

A Picture.
"A grim old king.


Whose blood lept madly when the tumpets
brayed
10 joyous battle mid storm OF steeds'
Won rich kingdom on battle day;
But in the sunset he was ebbing fast,
hinged by his weeping lords. His left hand held
His white steed, to the belly splashed with
blood,
That seemed to mourn him with his dropping
head;
His right his broken brand ; and in his ear
His old victorious banners flap the winds.
He called his faithful herald to his side
$50 tell the dead I GOMEZ With proud
smile
The warrior with stab let out his soul,
Which fed, and shrieked through all the other
world,
aye dead! my master comes!" And there
Was pause
Till the great shade should enter.
Alexander Smith.

E,,curprrn old fashioned clergy

FR1GHrENED.-An old fashioned clergy
man named Moore was riding on horse
back one stormy day, enveloped in
loose cloak of large proportions and hay
ing a broad scarlet collar. BY the ac-
ton of the wind the cloak was tossing
about in all directions, when gentle
man rode mp on spirited horse, which
SHE'D and almost threw the rider. "Thnt
cloak of yours would frighten the devil, "
said the gentleman. You don't sat so!'
replied Mr.. Moore "why, that's just
INV trade"

Another Toddie" in Church.

In St. Louis u little three-year-old,
who is now man, was taken for the first
time to church by the family, and but
toned into the pew, which was near the
pulpit. Reaching the sermon, the min
lister took his text: "Behold I stand at
the door and knock" Sliding up to the
pewdoor, the little fellow raped smart
ly on the inside of it, speaking out loud
II enough to be heard all around !: II
knock, too" 1t took both preacher and
hearers a long minute to get into sober
enough condition to 60 on with the SER
