HOW wooD-pULp is MADE.

So much is said about the paper.pulp
which is extensively used in the manu-
faCture of paper that brief description
of the process of making it will be en-
tertaining. Any white soft wood may
be used. The bark staken of, the knots
and dark and decayed places cut out. 1t
is then put into large cauldron and
boiled, which extracts al, the glutinous
matter and resin and renders it oft. 1t
is then put on large stone grinder,wi
water pouring on it all the time The
grindstone wears off the fibres until they
are finer than sawdust, which float
away into receptacle. The water is
drained off by means of a fine sieve,
leaving the pulp, which consists OF fine
fuzz or splinters of wood. 1t is white
and requires no bleaching, but is ready
to be mixed with rag pulp or anything
else that has strong fiber and receive
the proper constituents to make it into
paste, after which it is run off into paper
sheets, whereas rags have to be washed
and bleached With chloride of line, soda
ash and alum and such strong chemicals
to take out the color. Then they are
picked to pieces and made into pulp.
The process by which wood pulp is made
is purely mechanical. 1t can be made
cheap-say at about l cent a pouqd.-

HOW THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT
DISPOSED OF THE LOBBY BRIG

HOW THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT
DISPOSED OF THE LOBBY BRIG
ADE.
Kemble's case is discussed in Harper'S
Weekly, of last week. Describing his
crime Of legislative bribery, 30 fashion
able at Harrisburg and Albany, it asks ;
"And what is the crime which has be,
come 30 much the fashion? Merely
poisoning the springs of the government,
and destroying the conditions of public
safety under our political system. 1t is
merely boring holes in the ships bottom
when she is under way. That is all. 1t is
an offence compared with which the or
binary crimes of theft and swindling are
innocent. But however fashionable bur.
glary or arson may be, the fashion is not
generally supposed to extenuate the Of
fence on the contrary, it is usually held
that the more frequent the crime, the
greater the necessity of its repression
Which is really the greater offender, the
sneak thief who 'prigs' coat from hall
or handkerchief from the pocket, or
the plausible gentleman who Corrupts
Legislature with bribes2 The latter busi.
ness is unquestionably with some per.
soma fashion, and very general one.
But when it becomes the fashion of
courts to mitigate or omit punishment of
such bribery, it would seem to be a fa-
vorable time to take reckoning"
And then it points to the difference in
the consideration accorded legislation
Corruptionists in this country and Eng
land:
"At the last session of Parliament Mr..
Charles Edward Gfissell merely asserted
that he could manipulate with money a
select committee of the House Of Com
mons, and procure certain action upon
private bill. Now it is we'll known that
the votes of members Of that House are
not for sale; but they did not choose to
tolerate such hsgrant slander, and the
House ordered Mr.. Grissell into custody.
He ran away to Boulogne under pretext
of his health, but returned within day
or two of the end of the session, as the
power of the House, he thought, ceased
with it's adjournment. When he found
that he was still in danger, he sent petit
ton of submission, asking the indul.
gence of the House. But he was ordered
into the custody of the sergeant at arms,
appeared in the most humiliating ath'
tude at the bar of the House, and by a
unanimous vote was committed to New
gate during the pleasure of the Com.
mons. Mr.. Grissell did not allege, nor
did anybody suppose, that he had actu'
ally bought any member to vote as he
wished. His offense was SANDER and
defiance of authority, and the action of
the House was considered necessary to
show such men that its honor could not
be impugned and its authority de6ed
with impunity. 1t seems that in Eng
land 1t is neither the fashion to bribe
members, nor to remit the penalty Of
bribery upon the plea that is fashion

himself at home, think over his last
wish and have the greatest of all. But
when he reached his door there sat his
wife in the middle of the saddle; she
could not get off from 1t and was weep
ing and wailing. Then the husband salu'
"Be quiet, wife; l wish you all the klng,
doms in the world, only sit still" but
she answered, "What good would all the
kingdoms Of the world do meif l must BIT
on this saddle2 You have wished me !,
upon it, you must wish me of again. "
Whether he would or not he must make
the third wish, that she should be free
from the saddle, and this was quickly
fulfilled, for he had gained nothing but
vexation, trouble and dead horse But
the poor couple lived content, quietly
and piously to the end of their lives.

TEACHERS AND TASK MAKERS.

The public have not held teachers to
their true responsibility. We send a
young lad or a young girl to school, and
find that, while we are paying out a
great deal of money for them, they are
gaining nothing. We complain, and are
informed that our children are not in
dustrious, that they do not seem inter
ested in their studies, that they are ab'
sorhed in their play, etc, In SO cases in
100, our disappointment is entirely the
fault of the teacher. He or she is simply
incompetent for the duty they have un.
dertaken. A first class teacher always
has good pupils. Lack of interest in
study is always the result Of poor teach
ing. We send boy to College, and fnd
that he regards his studies as a grind
that he is only intere ted in getting good
marks, and that he is getting no schol-
arly tastes, end winning no scholarly
delights. We inquire to find him in the
hands of young tutor without expert
ence, who really pretends to be no more
than task master, and who knows
rothing, and seems to care nothing,
about the Office Of teaching, The plac'
ing of large masses of young men in the
hands of mex perierCed persons, who do
not pretend to do more than to set tasks
and record the manner in which they
are performed, without guidance or as
sistance, is a gross imposition of the Col.
lege upon a trusting public, and it is
high time that an outcry so determined
and persistent is raised against it that it
shall procure reform.-J. G, Holland

A RUSSIAN COUNTESS BAN1sHED

The Countess Famine, lady.in. waiting to the
Empress Of RuSsls, has been requested to resign
and travel abroad. She Is Of romantic turn,
and some times received guests Of whose charac'
ter she was not fully aware. Among these was a
young student, who, warned that the police were
about to search his rooms fed to her house with
his papers, and being pursued to her home, hid
the papers under her pillow. The police discov.
cred them and arrested him. That the Nihillsts,
however, have friends in high quarters is shown,
not only by the cipher documents found on
DeutScb, killed in the secret press affair but by
letters and papers found on Russian doctor
and refugee at Paris, who either threw himself
or was thrown into the Seine These documents
were sewn in his trousers lining and were hand.

swindlers, but sensible people do not for
that reason acquiesce in knavery and
swindling without a struggle. Penal
laws and prisons and police do not abol'
ish crime, but that is not held to be a
sound reason for dispensing with judges
and iails. There will always be Kem-
bles and Grissels of every degree, but
that is not ground for regarding them
as evils 80 inevitable that it is best to
abandon the contest with them. When
it was fashionable" to garrote passen'
GERS in the street. it was still more fash
ionable to pursue them relentlessly, and
the result was, not that the crime disap'
peared, but that it ceased to be "the
