Novel Use of Wood Shavings.

From wood shavings and paper Herr
Heilemann makes plates, dishes, ETC., as
follows: Selected plane shavings are
bound into bundles and stepped in a
bath of weak gelatine solution about
twenty-four hours, then dried and cut
into suitable lengths. Plates are cut of
strong paper or thin pasteboard of the
size of the objects to reproduced. These
are moistened, with a liquid consisting of
weak gelatine solution with sodium wa
terglass, and pressed in heated metallic
molds. After drying, the pressed paper
objects are coated on both sides with an
adhesive material made of five parts Rus
sian gelatine and one part thick turpen-
tine, the shavings are applied to them,
and the whole is subject to pressure.
Wood shavings alone would, because of
their unequal thickness, present uneven
surfaces. The objects are now cut, if
necessary, dried and vanished.

Oh who is there in this world has plenty Of joy,
With trher 10 trouble and naught 20 annoy;
With no children 10 bother her hour after hour,
And no Fostering husband TO make her heart sour (;
Who skips over hard places and glides over woes,
Nth sunshine in her pathway wherever she goes;
With smile on her Hsage that seems half divine,
Who, indeed, but this merry old maiden OF mine?
She's mint of her own, and has no one to frown
IL she spends half dime when she goes over town
And she talks about poetry, music and art,
As IL all the muses. possessed her pure heart
oh, she does IA she p,eases, and goes where she WILL
And she enyies no mortal nor wishes them III;
And happily walks through the sunnest spot,
And laughs az you pityingly envy her lot.
And along the steep hillside she glides DER life's
track,
With no one 10 her apron-strings pulling her back
While she stoops To the fallen wherever they moan
over life's thorny pathway she goes not alone,
For bright blessings go with her, the choicest and
best,
And love bides in her pathway where eer may
rest;
Who has Joys in this lifetime that never will ade
And crown in the next, but my merry " old maid 2"

! With minute precision the wit
ness described the bullet wount in
the bead, giving the diameter and
depth to a fraction.
In your opinion, was that wound
the cause of death ?"
1T was not was the answer, in
Il toLe whose calmness and COM
posure were not in the least ruff1ed
by the murmur of astonishment
which greeted tho words.
Pray explain. requested the
coroner, with ll-concealed surprise.
There Were no signs" replied
the doctor, preserving the same
quiet manner, of either external or
internal hemorrhage, which would
have necessarily followed the sever
ance of the blood-vessels by the pas
sage OF tie bullet, had the man then
been alive. When the shot was
tirei be was already dead"
To wha', then. do you attribute
Mr. Driscols death ?"
TO poison. A careful examina-
ton of the organs revealed the
presence of u fatal quantity of prus-
sic acid, which must have entered
the stomach during life. as was
clearly shown by its inhamed con-
dition"
As suddenly as the belief in
Volnvy hendall's guilt had sprung
into being, u new suspicion flushed
Oh the minds of all.
1t WAS true, then, that Seth Dris-
coll, with ruin staring him in tho
face, and his wards money to nc
count for, had taken his own life.
And the shot-the shot must have
been fired by JONAS Wenlock, on
discovering his uncle's dead body,
and the evidence of suicide afforded,
most likely, by the phial which had
tue deadly draught. He
had thus hoped to secure the insur-
'lnce money. which would have been
forfeited by death self-inhcted. True,
there WAS no direct evidence of all
this, but hone he less did every one
believe it
Everything seems cleared up
but the pistol, said the coroner,
when the doctor had cunelued.
