France Wiser Y'hun England

For several years the British Gov
cru ment has cultivated q war policy,
to the heavy burden Of the nation.
The Ficnch Government, on the con-
trary, has followed peace policy.
What are the results? In France
they are preparing a good budget. and
it is reasonable to infer from this that
trade has improved in that country.
The Budget Committee at Versailles
have agreed to reduce taxation to the
extent of nineteen million francs, and
thereby they proclaim that France is
at this moment the most prosperous
country in Europe. While English.
mon are trying to reckon up how
much the inccme.tax will be increased
next year; while the Germans are
wondering how Prince .Bismark is 60
ing to wiring out of them the extra
millions Of marks tina. be wants for the
army; and while the Russian finance
Minister is reporting to his Govern
ment he cannot raise rouble in any
of the capitals Of Europe, NJ. Leon
Say is able to distribute among his
countrynicn a surplus Of about $780,.
900 sterling.

The following. from the St. Louis
Times, tells Of what paper is made.
The process will DO found interesting
Making paper from wood is Of recen,
date:
As newspapers have been and prot :
ably will continue to be filled with
discussions in regard to paper pulp,
and tho effort being made to have the
tariff duty thereon removed, it may
DO interesting to knoy what the ar
ticle is ani how it 10 made. Any
white, soft wood may be- used. The
bark is taken off, the knots. and dark
and decayed places cut out. 1t is then
put into u large cauldron and boiled.
whice extracts all the glutinous mat
ter and resin and renders it soft, II
is then put on large stone griudo r
with water pouring on it all the time,
This grindstone wears off the fbres
until they are finer than sawdust which
floats away into receptacle. The
water is drained off by means Of fine
seive, leaving the pulp, which consists
Of 6ue fuzz or splinters of wood. 1t is
white, and requires no bleaching or
chemicals, but is ready to be mixed
with rag pulp or anything else ofstrong
fibre, and receive the proper constitu.
ents to convert it into paste, after which
it is run off into paper sheets, whereas
rags have to be washed aud bleached
with chloride of lime, 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 the wood pulp
is made is purely mechanical, and
as any soft wood. such as cottonwood
and poplar, pay be used. it can be
made cheap, say at about a cent per
pound.

Now Ideal. Of Marriage.

1t is indubitable that the girls ideal
OF marriage has Of late years great
~ changed aud aud the change
has been produced in part by
what she sees, and in part BY what she
reads. W. entertain no doubt that
the female noyelists who have followed
10 the wake Of the late George Lau
renee have materially modified the
ideal Of suitable lover as entertained
by many Of their sex. 'Ouida,' Miss
Broughton, Miss Annie Thomas. and
others, have accustomed them to fe.
rocio us lovers-but wo will not waste
our time IN repeating description Of
physical peculiarities Of the Adonis Of
the Period according to the standard
Of the female three volume novel.
Everybody knows tho sort Of here,
half Ajax, half Paris, Of their monot-
onous pages. Grown'up people moy
smile at such absurdities, but girls are
very impressionable. and when once
they have adopted such IN ideal, it is
not easy to expel it from their mindS.
The person hardly exists in real life /;
the nearest approach to il being any or
every unprincpled man who is prepar-
ed to make fierce love to any fool he
meets. Obviously this is not a con.
dition of things favorable to marriage !;
for while 1t makes girls more prompt
and indeed eager to firt, it iudisposes
them to appreciate attentions Of
more delicate. but more practical
kind. SO much for the change pre-.
duced 10 the ideals Of women by
what they read. The transformation
is completed by what they see. While
silly novels tell them that a lover, to
be worth anything must rail against
heaven aud bite the the grass with his |
teeth, the whole arrangements Of So
ciety keep daily telling them that o
husband is no good at all unless he
has q great deal Of money. |

They Would Have their Joke.

Last Thursday was All FOOLS Day. A party
of Rockland young men concocted huge sell
for friend, and prepared things so he would
bylit. They knew that a certain young lady was
to receive gentleman caller that evening, and
as there was trifling discrepancy in the
frienship between this young lady and the OBJ
iect of the joke, they wrote him very tender
note, inviting him up that evening, ex-
pressly directed him not to ring the bell but to
come Immediately into the parlor and signed
the young lady's name. The object of the
joke received the note by mail He glowed
with pleasure. He made extensive prepara-
tons for the evening. Then it came over him
that it was the first of April. He scented a
very large smell. That evening the conooctors
of the farce repaired to the scene of the con-
templated fun, and crouched down behind
some shrubbery, and waited for the fool. They
waited. And waited. And waited. And
waited. And waited. And waited. And
waited. And waited. And waited. at nine
thirty o'clock they gave up.the fare which had
changed into gh astly tragedy, and tottered
to their homes upon legs so cramped and stiff
that they walked like that gay and
festive gait peculiar to the turtle,
while each of them had contracted cold that
will last till the June roses blow. All this
time while they had been waiting for the
sport, and sowing the seeds of disease in their
