New Fire Proof Material.

Chambers Journal says The au-
daoity Of American invention In pro-
verbal 1t disdains belief In the im-
possible. We now learn that fire
proof houses can be built of cotton
and straw. In preparing these ma
terials, raw cotton of inferior quality,
the scattered refuse of plantations and
the sweepings of factories, are mixed
and converted into paste, which be-
comes as hard as stone, and then is
called architectural cotton. 1t may
be made in large slabs, whereby the
building of house would be rapid in
compar son with the practice oflaying
brick after brick, and at about one
third the cost. For the other wheat
straw is treated in a way already
known, and converted into paste board.
The sheets thus prepared are soaked
In solution which hardens the fibers,
and are then compressed under enol.
nous power into beams and boards of
any required size and the effect OF
the soaking is said to lender them
difficult of combustion. No informa-
tion has reached us as regard the mode
of operation, or the nature of the
chemical preparations required hence
to save trouble we intimate that fur
ther particulars are not as yet forth

Women Gambling at Saratoga.
From O Letter in New York World.


One OF the recent amusements OF q
group OF ladies at the Grand Union has
been buying French pools on the daily
CTS. They do not go TO the track, but
meet In the rec" ptiOn room and agree on
the horse. They admit they scare y know
ed by their Intuition. Rather. this secret
power lies in enc little lady, who takes
the days program me aud selects the
horse. She does not select the favorite.
That she says would be using her tudg-
ment, and she has greater faith in her in
other ladies buy and the ticker sends
them the results, while they nurse their
excitement In the reception. room during
the races. The strangest part is that SO
fer she has not made any mistakes, and
the ladies are radiant over their success
iemselves by pick ng out the winner
and choosing the combination. One I.
these the other day chose q successful
combination which, II she had bought.
would brought her 81 800 Naturally she
can but regard II as the lost opportunity
Of her life. Others are governed by signs
and omens. One lady Ioae disheartened
because she dreamed she was going to be
surprised. Another having bougut q pool
on Saunterer, giieved that she could see
no mAlformed person To touch. as that
would surely bring luck, and ms SITS now
that the omission eau cd her TO lose mon.

crowd. aud the ladies were catching al

suit has been amusing, and somewh hat
dampened their confidence in the Jndg-
ment OF their male friend as ic the first
race the dark horse came in with high.

"You should see Roscoe ConklinQ

Brighton Beach. "I never seed such
swimmer before. He came here and
took bath one evening last week
with ex-senator Platt. They went In
together, walked down the bridge and
struck right out, Conkling got be-
yound the breakers right away, and he
went around as graceful as fish.
He's high kicker in the water.
1'ain't good style to show SO much
heel, but he made good time. He
swum roun' and roun', while the other
grabbed the line, kinder skeered like,
and jumped up and down and sputter-
ed out salt water. When Mr.. Conk-
ling came out his curly hair was all
wet and drabby. 1 happened in his
way on purpus, and says to bin,

"'Mister Conkling, how did You
like the water p
"He looked at me cold like, but still
not as though he was mad, but jist
like big mans expected to look at

The weasel's Cunning.
From the Santa Barbara Press.

The remarkabl sagacity of thewea.
sci was well illustrated by an incident
which actually occurred In the suburbs
of Santa Barbara. A gentleman's
barn was infested with rats, aud he
was greatly annoyed by their depre-
dations. They have been gradually
disappearing, however, In the last few
weeks. The gentleman finally discev.
cred the cause of their disappearance
in very wide awake weasel, which
was engaged at the time In very
vigorous combat with au unusually
large-siEed rat. The latter proved-too
much for his adversary, and finally
chased his weaselship out Of the barn.
A few mornings later the gentleman
again found the same animals engaged
in @ similar battle. The weasel at
last ran into o hole 1t had burr0wed
through pile of hardened compost.
This hole was quite large at the en-
trance, but the outlet was scarcely
large enough to admit tho passage of
the weasel's body. The weasel dart
cd into the hole with the rat at its
heels. A moment later the weasel
emerged from the other side and ran
quickly around the compost pile and
again entered the hole, this time in
his enemy's lear. The gentleman, in
terested in the proceedings, watched
the place some time and found that
only the weasel came out. Digging
into the compost he found the rat
quite dead and partly eaten. The
weasel had arranged his trap so that
the rat could enter, but becoming
closely wedged in the narrow portion
of the hole, could be attacked at dis
advantage and easily killed.

Atlanta Despatch to the Cincinnati En-.
quirer.
His name is Henry Todd and he
lives ct Darien, In this State. When
youth his master died and left him
his freedom a. Q reward for his faith
full attention during the slaveholder's
last sickness. Young Tedd was 20 es-
teemed by the family that they insist
ed on his remaining in their employ
and paid him . handsome salary. He
was sort of assistant 0verseer Oh the
plantation. By the kindly Aid Of
white friends he soon became q land
owner, and then prosperous farmer.
In few years his affairs showed the
result Of industry and natural business
talent in q snug little fortune. His
quiet manner and strict uplightness
guarded him from the bitter prelude, Q
which in those days both races felt for
the average s'free nigger." Henry
Todd soon had enough money to hold
slaves himself, and he purchased sew
eral as matter Of economy. When
the Confederacy fell he lost twenty
negroes and some money in Con-
federate bonds. This severe blow was
In o measure counteracted by his good
fortune, having ON hand o crop of
cotton, which then demanded 10 cents
o pound. After the war he continued
his farming operations, but also en-
gagged In the lumber business. His
remarkable success continued, and to-
day he owns two large lumber mills,
and exports very extensively. He is
sixty FIVE years old and has an excel.
lent education. He is worth 800, 900
