Celluloid is being used in Paris for
making stereotype plates. The mould
is taken i'll a special cement, which
hardens after receiving the impression.
The sheet Of celluloid is then used to
obtain til. impression to be employed in
printing. This substance has also been
used for giving typographical represent
tations of lace, the impressions being
taken from the lace itself.

In St. Petersburg use has been made of
electricity III pumping water, with a
view of making it scrvneabIe in putting
ont fires. The experiments seem to have
been satisfactory. The same current
used for Lighting building may thus
furnish power for throwing water on the
flames in case it should take fire Such
an application onsht to be especially
valuable in the case Of the theatres and
other buildings where large numbers of
people assemble and where tho prompt
introduction Of Il stream of water might
be the means Of averting a great loss of
human life.

Last Wednesday Col F. l.. Claiborne
presented us a sample of jute fibre which
was raised aud prepared by Capt. Charles
Brusl6 of Iberville parish. This sample
is six feet in length and very fine and
will compare most favorably with any Of
the imported article.
Capt. Brusl6 cultivated about forty
acres of jate during the present year and
was very successful with it. He has
saved considerable quantity of seed,
and we are informed that he will sell
portion of them on very reasonable
terms and at the same time furnish all
the necessary or desired information as
to the mode of planting, cultivating and
preparing for market. 1t is contendel
by some that the cultivation of iute in
this part of Louisiana will pay much
better than either cotton or sugar.
One thing certain is that it gives u
large yield of fibre per acre and sells for
d booa pEiCe. we WOulu auFlSo our
planters each to try few acres of jute.
There is no danger of the market being
overstocked SO long as bagying, sacks
and rope are 80 much in demand and
enter 80 largely into the commerce OF
tho world. An annual cotton crop of
6,0Oo, 900 bales requires at least a., 600, 900
yards of bagglng, and the seed requires
twice as much. The grain crops Of the
West consume in sacks twice as much
bagging as the-eotion and cotton seed
of the South.
The sample mentioned above can lie
seen at onr office together with a jute
stalk raised here by Mr.. II. Patin.

A National Thanksgiving.
BY the President Of the United States
of 491pyjo0-1 D,.ooI,,,,o.t.o.

BY the President Of the United States
Of Anaerica-A Proclamation:
1t has been a pious custom of our
people to look back upon the blessings
brought to them in the changing
course OF the seasons, and to return
solemn thanks to the All Giving source
from whom they flow. And although
at this period, when the falling leaf
admonishes us that the time of our sa-
cred duty is at hand, our nation still
lies IN the shadow of a great bereave-
ment, and the mourning which has
hlled our hearts still finds us in a sor-
rroWful expression toward the God be-
lore whom we but lately bowed in
grief and supplication, yet the count
less benefits which have been shower
ed upon US during the past twelve
months call for our fervent gratitude
and make it fitting that we should re-
lolce with thankfulness that the Lord,
In His infinite mercy, has most sig-
nally favored our country and our
people.
Peace without and prosperity with
IN have been vouchsafed to us. No
pestllence has visited our shores. The
abundant privileges of freedom which
our fathers left US in their wisdom
are still our increasing heritage. and
if in parts of our vast domain some
atfilctlon has visited our brethren in
their forest homes. yet even this cal
amity has been tempered and in a
manner sanctifieG ~ generous COM
passion for the sufferers which has
been called forth throughout the ffasd.-
For all these things it is meet that
the voice of the nation should 90 up
to God in devout homage.
Wherefore |, Chester A. Arthur
President of the United States, do re-
&C, commend that all the people observe
Thursday, the oath day of November
instant as a day of national thanks
giving and prayer, by ceasing so far
rs may be from their secular labors.
md meeting in their several places of
Worship, there to join in ascribing
lonor and praise to Almighty God,
whose goodness has been SO manifest
n our history and in our lives and
,tfer1ng earnest prayers that His boun-
les may continue to us and to our
hildren.
In witness whereof have hereunto
ct my hand and caused the seal of the
J. Jnlted States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington

statement of Mr.. W ashington Monroe, of Catskill
Green County, New York.
FOR many years had suffered from a complaint
which the hysicans called Gravel 1 had emploved
some OF the most noted doctors without obtaining
any permanent relief, and for long time my case
was regarded as hopeless. All who knew the circum
stances said 1 must die. Finally, my wife induced
me to try bottle of DIR. Dennedys Favorite Remedy,
which she had somewhere heard or seen advertised.
without the slightest faith in it, but solely to crafty
her, bought bottle of druggist in our village
used that and two or three bottles more. and-to
make long story short-I now as healthy man
as there is in the country.

Tic that the 'Favorite Remedy has done its work
with similar completeness in every single instance

CHAPTER VII.

We left town directly after this fot
the autumn holidays. The holiday,
had not very much meaning now that
all the boys had left school, and We
might have gone away when We
pleased. But the two youngest girls
were still in the remorseless hands OF
Fraulein Stimme, and the habit Of
emancipation in the regular holiday
season had clung to me. | tried very
hard to get Ellen to go with us, for
at least day or two, but she resisted
with a kind of passion. Her mother,
| am sure, would have been glad had
she gone; but Ellen would not. There
was in her face a secret protestation,
Of which she was perhaps not even
herself aware, that if her duty bound
life itself from all expansion, it must
also bind her in every day Of her life.
She would not accept the small allie
Walton, having, with her eyes open
and with full sense of what she was
about, resigned everything else. She
would have been more perfect, and
her sacrifice more sweet, had she taken
sweetly the little consultations of every
day; but nobody is perfect, and Ellen
would not come. | had gone to Pleas
ant Place to ask her, and the scene
was curious one. The mother and
daughter both came to the parlor to
receive me, and | saw them together
for the first time. It was about
fortnight after John went away.
Ellen had not been i'll, though [ had
feared she would; but she was pale,
with dark lines under her eyes, and a
worn and nervous look. She was
bearing her burden very bravely, but
it, was all the harder upon her that
she was evidently determined not to
complain. When I told my errand,
Mrs. Harwood replied eagerly, You
must go, Ellen. Oh, yes! | can do; |
can do very well. 1t will only be for
a week, and it will do you so much
good; you must CO. Ellen took
scarcely any notice of this address.

No. Sir!

A Scotch minister once said no wo-
man could bear pain as well as a man.
That is not SO. The fact is generally
the other way. Mrs. Edward Meyers,
OF Rondout, N. Y, submitted to the
operation of the removal of her hand
by amputation, without taking ether,
or moving muscle, or uttering a
groan. DIR. Kennedy, also of Rom
dout, N. Y, who performed the oper-
alton, said he never saw such heroism.
The lady's disease was Erysipelas, and
afterward the Doctor gave his "Favor-
tie Remedy" to cleanse the Blood.
Mrs. Meyers is now we'll and strong.

A YOUNG gentleman who is very
particular about the getting up of his
linen wrote note to his laundress,
and at the same time sent one to the
object of his affections. Unfortunate
ly, he put the wrong address on the
envelopes and posted them. The wo-
man was puzzled, but not in the least
offended; but when the young lady

Experience the Best Gnide.

The constant practice most women
have in caring for the sick makes
them often more skillful than physi-
clans in selecting medicines. The
reason why women are everywhere
using and recommending Parker's
Ginger Tonic is because they have
learned by the best of guides-experi-
ence-that this excellent family med
icine speedily overcomes dependency,
periodical headache, indigestion, liver
complaint, pain or weakness in the
back and kidneys, and other troubles
peculiar to the sex-Home Journal.
