Suspicious Meat The two fat cattle

Both the hind hoofs came off of one of,
the animals, and he seemed to suffer
greatly. Few persons who saw the
cattle while here would wish to eat the
meat of one of them. The meat was

= Fire In Buffalo Township. - Miss Sallie
Carlin died some years ago at an ad-
vanced age, and among the property she
left her heirs was a saw-mill in Buffalo
township which finally Miss Ann Jane
Carlin came into possession of. On
Thursday night of last week the mill
was destroyed by fire, together with
5000 feet of lumber belo nging to other
parties. There was no insurance. AS to
the origin of the fire there is doubt. Early
that evening George Carlin was around
and about the premises in question with
lighted pipe in his mouth, but the fire
occurred between 10 and o'clock, and
it is supposed to be next to impossible
for a spark to have from his pipe and
lain there all that time without break
ing out sooner. Isaiah Saiders was the
first to discover the ruin the flames-al-
ready under headway = were making,
and he spread the alarm in time to arouse
the neighbors, by whose efforts, in ex-
tinguishing the fire, more lumber, and
perhaps other property was saved

TENTS body, but there was no pcrccptiblc
change in her heels or voice. The second
mouse, however, cntanglcd itself in her
halr, and her recovery was almost instan-
tancous. She sat up and said that Il the
doctor would only take that mouse away,
she would get right up and see about din
ncr No further treatment was necessary,
and the fact that the disease has not re-
turned leads the doctor to express strong
conviction that the cure will prove a per-
mancnt one. The mouse cure has also been
tried with the very best results in an attack
OF paralysis of the left leg, which was in II

banker from making call OH certain of
her husbands relatives, and in Il case of
nervous prostraton which suddenly at

fused to take her to the seaside. Both of
these cases yielded promptly to the cxhibi-
ton OF mice, and there is no room for
doubt that the cure was due solely to the
remedy employed.

Mount ArHrat.

The mountain, divided into two peaks
called Great and Little Ararat, forms an
cliptical mass of about twenty five miles in
length from northwest to southeast, and
about half that width. Little Ararat is an
elegant cone or pyramid, rising with steep,
smooth, regular sides into Il comparatively
sharp peak. Great Ararat is huge, broad
shouldcrcd mass, more like Il dome than u
cone, supported by strong buttrcsscs, and
throwing out rough ridges of rock that
stand out like knotty muscles from its
trunk. The latest mark which the hand of
nature has up on this mighty mountain was
made in 1850, and the story is pathetic
one. Near the mouth of the great chasm,
with its crown of tremendous prccipiccs,
there formerly stood u pleasant little Ar
mcnian village Of 200 houses named Ag-
lurri. The dwcllcrs there were pastoral
people like their forcfathcrs who fed their
ilocks in the Alpine pastures and cultivated
few fields which were watcred by the
glacier stream. They claimed that the vine
which bore those delicious grapes was
Father NOah's own, and that the ancient
willow, the pride of the village, had sprung
from one Of the planks ofathc ark! The
little monastery Of ST. Jacob had for eight
hundred years stood just above the village
on tho spot where the legend had appeared
to tho monk. With tho exception of the
wandering Kurds, the inhabitants of Ag-
hurri were only dwcllcrs on the mountain;
in their village its traditions centred, and
there they were faithfully preserved. Thus
MIR. Brice relates the fate Of tho unhappy
mountain village: "Towartls sunset in the
evening of the 2lst of June 1910, the shock
of an earth quake, accompanied by sub
tcrrancan roar, and followed by a terrific
blast of wind, threw down the houses of
Aghurri, and at tho same time detached
enormous masses of rock with their slbja-
cent Ice from the cliffs that surround the
chasm. A shower Of falling rocks over
whclmcd int an instant the village, the mon
aslery, and a Kurdish cncampment on the
pastures above. Not soul survived to tell
the tale. -Four days afterwards the masses
OF snow and ice that had been prccipitatcd
into the glen suddenly melted, and forming
al irresistible torrent of water and mud,
swept along the channel of the stream and
down the outer slopes of the mountain, far
away into the Aras plain, bearing with them
huge bloclls and covering the ground for
miles with a deep bed of mud and gravel.
Since then few huts have arisen, some
what lower down the slope than the site of
old Aghurri; here dwell few Tartars, and
pasture their cattle on the side of the valley
which grass has again begun to clothc But
Noah's vine and the primcval willow and
the little monastery where Parrot lived 80
happily among the few old monks who had
retired to this hallowcd spot from the
troubles of the world, arc gone forever, no
Christian bell is heard, no Christian service
said upon the Mountain of the Ark"

Sagacity OF Horses.

An old horse wandering about in grass
and water--vainly no doubt, for 1t was du-
ring severe drought. Coming to the great
bare market place, and finding knot of
men talking there, ho singled out one Of
them, and pulled him by the sleeve with
his teeth. The man thinking the horse
might possibly bite, repulsed him, but as it
was not very roughly done, hercturned to the
man with the same reception; but he was
persevcring animal, and practically demostr-
atcd the axiom, that perseverance gains, the
day" for upon his taking the chosen sleeve
for the third time between his teeth, the
man awoke to the idea that deed of kind
ness might be required of him; 80, putting
his hand upon the horses neck, he said:
"All right, old fellow; march on. The
horse at once led the way to pump at the
further side of the square. Three times
was the bucket emptled and replcnished
and omptied before the "great thirst" was
assuaged, and the grateful brute almost
spoke his thanks to his friend by rubbing
his nose gently against his arm after which
he walked of with great sigh Of relief.

Printing Paper.

The principal ingredients Of this paper
arc straw, rags and wood. A mill of this
Kind affords ready market for all the straw
produced In the country for miles around
The straw IS piled up in great stacks near
the mill ready for uso. The rags come from
oil parts OF this country and Europe. The
wood is bought III the pulp from firms who
make business of reducing wood to fine
pulp. Regarding tho processes which these
materials undergo while being converted in
topaDcr In the first place the straw is cut
up fine and passed through flaming mill,
which separates it from all the grain and
particles Of dust. 1t is then put into huge
rotary boilers, running under eighty pounds
OF steam pressure, where it is boiled and
cleanscd in strong solution of caustic
aliiali, after which 1t is cmpticd into vats
and thrown up into washing engines filed
with water; there the alkal is extracted,
and chlorine is added for the purpose of
whitening it. After remaining here until
the pulp is thoroughly washed, it is cmpticd
into large watts, where it is left TO bleach
twenty-four hours. The pulp in this stage
is rs white rs snow, and is one mass of fine
silky fiber. The rags are first carefully
assorted. and everything not composed of
cotton or linen is discarded. They are then
cut up and busted by machinery, after
which they are boiled and ccanscd with q
solution of lime in other rotary boilers.
Afterward they pass through the same pro-
cess as the straw until they, too, arcrcduccd
to beautiful, white, fibrous pulp. Equal
quantities of rag and straw pulp arc mixed
together W til lesser quantity of wood pulp
10 this is added a small portion of kaolin,
or white clay, which is used to fill up the
pores of the paper and give ii smoother
surface. The whole is then put into II
beating engine, where IL remains until the
different ingredients are thoroughly united.
This operation usually takes about three
hours. Hcrc also the blue coloring is added
a blue white being considered the best
shade for the paper. From the bcaling
engine tho pulp is pumped up into another
engine, where it passes through the Inst
stage of refining and is dropped in LIQUID
form into al immense tub. 1t is now ready
to be put into form. There arc two kinds
of machines for this work, the Fourtlrincr
and the cylinder. The Fourdrincr, the
latest invention, and the most perfect ma
chine now in lse is used ut this mill The
fbrous liquid is then poured from the tub
through slraincr into the machine, where
l. Is caught on an endless sieve of very fine
wire, which filters out the water and retains
the fibre. This sieve continually vibratcs
rs it moves along thus thoroughly uniting
the fibre, and when It reaches the section
box, all the water is drawn from the pulp.
This sheet Is carried over numerous drying
cylinders, heated by steam then over the
cylinder rolls, where it receives its final
gloss and finish and is finally wound on
spools, weighed, wrapped, marked and
stored, ready for shipment.

The abuse of ChlOral,

The persons who become habituated to
chloral hydratc are OF two or three classes,
as rule. Some have originally taken
the narcotic to relieve pain, using it in the
earliest application of it for true medical
and legitimate object, probably under
medical direction. Finding that it gave
relief and rcpose, they have continued the
use of it., and at last have got so abnormal
ly under its influence that they cannot get
to sleep if they fail to resort to It, A sec
ond class of persons who take to chloral
are alcoholic incbriatcs who have arrived
at that stage of alcoholism when sleep is
always disturbed, and often nearly impos-
siblc. These persons at first wake many
times i'll the night with coldncss of the
lower limbs, cold swcatings, starting and
restless dreamings. In little time they
become nervous about submitting thom-
selves to watchfulncss and restcssness
until confirmed insomnia is the re-
suit. Worn out with sleeplcssness, and
falling to find any relief that is satisfactory
or safe in their false friend alcohol, they
turn to chloraI, and in it find for a season
the oblivion which they desire, and which
they call rest. 1t is a kind of rest, and is,
no doubt, better than no rest at all but it
leads to the unhealthy states that we are
now conversant with, and it rather pro-
notes than destroys the craving for alcohol.
In short, the man who takes to chloral
after alcohol cnlists two cravings for a sim
gle craving, and is doublc-shotted in the
worst sense. A third class Of men who be-
come habituatcd to the use of chloral are
men OF extremity nervous and cxctablc
temperament, who by nature, and often by
the labors in which they arc occupied, be-
come bad sleepcrs. A little thing in the
course of their daily routine oppresses thcm.
What to other men is passing annoyance,
thrown Off with the next step, is to these
men worry and anxiety of hours. They
are ovor-susccptible of what is said of them
and of their work, however good the work
may be. They are too elatcd when praised
and too depressed when not praised, or
dspraiscd. They fail to play character
parts on the stage of this world, and as
they lie down to rest they take all their
cares and anxletics into bed with them, in
the liveliest state Of perturbation. Una
bio in this condition to sleep, and not
knowing more natural remedy, they re-
sort to the use of such an instrument rs
chloral hydrate. They begin with mod
crate dose; increase the dose as occasion
seems to demand, and at last, IN what they
consider a safe and moderate system Of
employing 1t, they depend on the narcotic
for their falsif1ed rcpose.

The Now Wall Papers.

Nearly all the newest papers are lnita-
tions Of woven or embroidered stulfs, and
in some tho grounds arc 80 skilfully
manipulated, and the patterns SO well
drawn and shaded that it is hard to believe
that they arc not the work of the loom and
the needle. The most gorgeous of all
seems to be n cloth of gold wrought with
suntlowcrs and their leaves III sapphire
blue, producing an effect gorgeous enough
to warrant one in hanging up bit of the
pnpcr, rs one would Japanese fan, for
the sake OF its coloring Walls covered
with anything rs brilliant as this tolerate
no furniture less splendid in effect, but re-
quire rich, heavy brocatcllcs and masses of
dark carved wood, and window hangings
bright of hue and stiff with embroidery.
Moreover this brilliant gold background
kills'thc color of every blonde who comes
near it, and makes her look like faded
dagucrrcotypc, 80 that only brunette house
wives arc likely to admire the paper. Less
magnificent, but very pretty and better for
general use, is the poppy pattern on back
ground Of blue and silver; and several COM
bnations of gold and silver, olive and blue,
present effects that would be good both by
natural and artificial light. Some papers
have a ground that looks like faded pink
silk, almost covered by Towering vino in
dull colors. Another resembles olive raw
silk, with garnet brocaded pattern out
lined IN gold thread, and gold grounds
almost covered with floral designs are in
Vulnerable in variety. The tapestry papers
arc in olives and blue grays, and their pat
tern 10 almost invariably fruit and foliage.
Tho Japanese patterns represent stuffs in
which the fans, hand screens and vases are
mingled with purpose that does not re-
veal itself to tho eye of the casual observer,
but which produces perfect harmony, and
they may be bought both In light and dark
colors The most beautiful friezcs arc
those that accord with the pattern Of tho
paper, as, for instance, those which accom-
pany the Japanese designs, and which rep.
resent japanese plaques and vases. In one
style these objects are depicted in garnet
and several shades Of slate blues, and in
another in silver, pale blue and vcrmilion,
the former matching the darker and the
latter the light paper. In another style Of
friczc one sees Greek sacrlfcial process
sion depicted in frcsco colors on buff
ground, and third is Egyptian in style.
Dadocs arc less used than formerly, be-
cause 80 many new houses arc built with
wooden dadocs that it is not necessary to
initiate them with paper. s#Ex
