PAPER CAR WHEELS.
Interesting Facts About the Use of the Ma
terinI.

Paper ear wheels are composed entirely Of
of six tons, and then fastened by means of
bolts and steel tire put on them, when they
arc ready for use. Laid loosely, the rings
stack MS high as the shoulders OF an ordinary
man. Under treatment they sink to the
thickness required. II the tire should wear
or fall off the wheel or the train run from
the track, there would be no danger of their
breaking, as they are very flexibleand would
spring. A paper ball can be rendered so
solid that nothing but diamond tool can
cause an indentation into 1t. At the mill is
a square block of compressed paper fastened
On a turning lathe, aud SO hard that II fine
steel chisel is held against it when II is NOV
ing instead of cutting the paper it will break
the chisel into hundred pieces. The
strength is astonishing You can take five-
pound note of the Bank of England, twist It
into kind of rope, suspend 800 pounds up
on one end of it, and not injure IL in the
slightest degree. BATH tubs and pots are
formed by COMPRISING the paper made out
of linen fibres and anneeled that is, painted
over with composition which becomes
part thereof and is fire proof. The tubs
last indefinitely, never leak, and, put on the

with hammer and not injure them. Plates
compressed and annealed are very durable;
you can not only wash them, but drop them
upon the floor and stand upon them. The
fork can he used for auv practical rilrpOge
and the knife can always be kept sharp.
Paper can be substituted for wood, converted
into picture frames and colored like walnut,
cherry and the like Bedsteads are fashion
en- the same as car wheels, only of long
strips instead Of rings. They are very beau

type and all the fixtures of the Office, could
be concocted of this material, and more
cheaply than of the ordinary kind. COM

LOVE PASSES THROUGH FIRE.
Etbelbertn's Passion for Vivian, Her Dis
Inherited but Most Noble Chicago
Lover.
I" Do YOU mean it, father ?n

DO you mean it, father ?"
Vivian Mahaffy looked steadily into his
fathers face as he spoke these words; look
ed fairly and fully into the face of the keen
eyed old man whose petted idol he had been
since the days of his babyhood Vivian
had said that he was about to marry Ethel
berta ORourke, girl whom the old man
knew only as fashionable belle and of
whose better qualities he had never heard,
and in moment of anger he had told the
boy that if his determination was persisted
in disturbance should follow. 1t was this
threat that caused Vivian to utter the words
with which this story begins.
"Yes, l mean it," replied the father
Marry this girl if you choose, but if you
do, not penny of mine shall You have, ~
and leaving those bitterly cruel words float
ing around the room he stalked savagely
from the apartment.

ETIQUETTE OF THE NAPKIN,

1t has been stated, and very truly too,
that the law of the napkin is but vaguely
understood. 1t may be said, however on
the start, that custom and good breeding
have uttered the decree that it is in poor
taste to put the napkin in the pocket and
carry it away.
The rule of etiquette is becoming more
and more thoroughly established, that the
napkin should be left in the house of the
host or hostess after dinner.
There has been good deal of discussion
also upon the matter of folding the napkin
after dinner, and whether it should be SO
disposed of or neglgently tossed into tho
gravy boat. If, however, it can be folded
easily, and without attracting too much
attention and prolonging the session for sew
eral hours, il should be so arranged and
placed beside the plate, where it may be cas-.
lily found by the hostess, and returned TO
her neghbor from whom she borrowed it
for the occasion. IT, however, the lady of
the house is not doing her own work, the
napkin may be carefully jammed into
globular wad and fred under the table, to
convey the idea of utter recklessness and
pampered abendon.
The use 81 the finger bowl is also sub
ject of much Importance to the bon ton
guest who gorges himself at the expense of
his friends.
The custom of drinking out Of the finger
bowl, though not entirety obsolete, has been
limited to the extent that good breeding does
not now permit the guest to quaff the water
from his finger bowl unless he does SO prior
to using it as a finger bowl.
Thus it will be seen that social customs are
slowly but surely cutting down and circum-
scribing the rights and privileges of the
masses. - Boomerang.

POETRY
coETENT.


A low-browed house stood on plain
Whose background was mountain:
And 1t was small, and brown, and plain,
While neither flower nor fountain
Adorned the grass around the door
The grass that grew INTENDED,
Until it ran the straight path DER,
Nor was fence defended
No flower was there9 Yes--daisy white
Its modest head uplifted,
While on its face the Summer light
Through waving bows was sifted,
stopped to pluck-then paused to smile,
For voice unframed was singing,
And to and fro the door the while
With dismal ereak was Swinging.
BY impulse moved closed the door,
The dismal creaking stlling;
And then to cross the bare, worn floor
My feet seemed more than willing.
An ancient dame, with wrfnkled face,
In straight-backed chair sat knitting,
And seemed, with form devoid Of grace,
The poor old hut befltting.

Oh, life devoid of beautyi
Wnuse every hour is but q strife
Between the flesh and duty"
Iwould have said, Your life is wrong"--
Would words of comfort spoken:
Blu: still she sang, My will is strong
May 1t, dear Lord, be broken
turned and left without a word
left the old door swinging;
And down the street her voice heard
Like note of triumph ringing.

THE IMpoRrArlor OF coRsErs.

There were imported to this country in
1881 about fifteen thousand dozen corsets,
valued at not less than SO per dozen, and
over fifty thousand dozen of an average val
lie of 80 per dozen. On these there was
levied and collected duty, of $1s7, 500, or
about thirty five per cent. The cost price
of the best quality landed in this country
was fraction less than seventy-ive cents
corset, which, adding the duty, made the
cost over one dollar each. One-third of the
total value of oil the exports of Wurtemburg
to the United States since 1865 has been in
woven corsets. The total annual produc-
ton Gin 1880 of corsets in the kingdom was
1850, 900, valued at 81 500, 900 requiring 4O,-
600 pounds of cotton yarn. The industry
requires sixteen different processes in the
change Of the raw material to the finished
corset. These are the weaving, cutting ont,
stitching, stamping, embroidering, insertion
Of whalebones, punching eyeIet-holes, wash
ing, starching, shaping, ironing, eyeletting.
olasping measuring, and boxing. In the
manufacture of these goods 1,7Oo hsnd
looms and about 4 400 persons are employ,
cd. About |, 700 are male weavers. Al the
work except weaving is done by female OPP
eratives,, and most of the work is done at
home. These women earn an average of
$3.50 per month, and the male weayers
from $17 to $1s per month. The new
French tariff has cut off the trade with that
country, though the trade with the United
States, England and South America are
still maintained. The German tariff, by
increasing the duty on yarn, has also injur-
ed the profits of the business. Following
the close of the American war the export of
these corsets to the United States, which
had been about $3.50, 900 year, rapidly in
creased in 1866 to $9s6,00 and in 1872 to
$1,119,o0o i, but since then has declined to
$317,000 in 1880, and rose again in 1881 to
$500, 900. --C Chicago Tribune.

WHAT JEALOUS WOMAN DID. --Nettie
Brow became furiously jealous whenever
any other woman made advances to George
Smith, of st. Louis, and while in such a
frame of mind she stabbed Lizzie Field.
Learning that her suspicious were entirely
anfounded she professed contrition, became
a nurse for the wounded woman, and did
everything to make her comfortable until
she died. 1t was believed, OF course that
she was actuated by desire to mitigate her
punishment but when sentenced to five
years Imprisonment she declared that the
term was too short, as she ought to be inn
INJURED for life. She has now been out Of
prison about year and is the wife of Smith,
but she keeps the grave of Lizzie Field con-
stantly decorated with flowers.

DEFINITION OF CRANKrsM After profound
observation and study the editor of the
Christian Advocate has formulated a def
milton of cranlism as follows Crank
ism is mixture of self-conscious vanity,
malice, superstition, and excitableness, with
often an ingredient of depravity. 1t is liable
to be mistaken for fanaticism, insanity, or
ordinary rascality but 1t is not any one of
he three. II the crank had little more
sense, and was no better morally than he
sometimes is, he would be villain; If he
had little more excitability and q fixed de-
fusion, he would be q lunatic; If he had less
vanity and more moral principle, he would
be fanatic. When the crank is viewed In
one aspect, be excites pity as non conpos
mentis in another, wrath as criminal; in
another, partial belief that he is merely
sincere ignoramus." That seems to meet the
popular conception Of the creature described
as nearly as anything we have seen.

AYERS CATHARrIc PILLS are the best of all pur- gatives for family use. They are the product of long laborious and successful chemical investi- gation, and their extensive use, by physicians in their practice, and by all civilized nations, proves them the best and most effectual purgE- tive Pill that medical science can devise. Being purely vegetable no harm can arise from their use, and being sugar-coated they are pleasant to take. In intrinsic value and curative powers no other Pills can be compared with them; and every person. knowing their virtues, will employ them, when needed. They keep the system ID perfect order, and maintain in healthy action the whole machinery of life. Mild, searching and effectual. they are especially adapted to the needs of the digestive apparatus, Arrangements of which they prevent and cure, if timely taken. They are the best and safest physic to employ for children and weakened constitutions. where a mild but eTectual cathartis IS required.
