tant position in the industrial world. A
still more sudden and striking advance
has been made in the employment of
cotton as building material. A pre-
paration called celluloid, in which cot
ton is a leading ingredient, has been
used lately as substitute for ivory in
the manufacture of such articles as
billiard-balls and paper-cutters, and
now Canadian manufacturer has in
vented process by which compressed
cotton may be used, not merely for
doors and window-frames, but for the
whole facade of large buildings. The
enormous and increasing demand for
paper for its normal uses as a printing
and writing material prevents the ex-
tended use of papier-mache as build
ing material, for which it is so we'll
suited in SO many ways; but the pro-
duction of cotton is practically unlim-
tied, and there seems to be large field
available for its use in its new capacity
as a substitute for bricks-or at least
plaster-and wood. Treated with GER
tain chemicals and compressed, it can
be made perfectly fire. proof and as hard
as stone, absolutely air and damp proof;
and material is thus produced admir-
ably adapted for the lning-internal
or external-of buildings of which the
shell may or may not be constructed of
other material, while it easily lends it
self TO decorative purposes.

The Gold Yielders.

The first piece of gold found in Cali
fornia was worth so cents, and the
second S.. Since that time one nugget
has been found worth $43, 00Q; two
$21, 900; one, $4,000; two, $4,000; one,
$1,000; four, $4,000; twelve worth from
$4,000 to $4,000 and eighteen worth
$1,000 to $1,000, have been found and
recorded in the history of the state. In
addition to the above. numberless mug
gets worth from 800 to $500 are men
toned in the annals Of California gold
mining during the last thirty years.
From the date of the discovery of gold
in California to the present time the
yield has been about 81 900, 0O0, 600;
therefore it is very easy to see the
small figure that nuggets cut in the
gold yield. Big nuggets are very fine
things to show, but after all it is the

its foreign coinage has practically
ceased. In the United States the pro-

Oil Shale Discovered in Iowa.

Frank Alexander, ore of the pro-
prietors Of the inhamable shale mine
lately discovered in Charles, Mix coun
ty, Iowa, in answer to a question from
Sioux City Journal reporter about the
mine, said that the burning qualities of
the rock were discovered by piece
thrown out Of blast falling into a fire
which the workmen had near the
mouth Of the shaft. The shaft was sunk
in search of coal. Some OF the shale
had been tried in coal stoves in Bon
Homme and worked well. A pile of
some three bushels of the stuff was set
on fire out of doors and burned free
ly. There were live embers left twenty
four hours after the fire was kindled.
Mr.. Alexander said that on his return
wagon load of this new fuel would be
hauled to Piankington, on the Milwau-
kee road, where it will be tested as fuel
for engines. The shaft where the shale
is found is in ravine within few rods
of the river. The shale is found thirty
six feet from the surface. Over it is a
roof of slate, and under it is block of
earth that is neither clay nor loan.
The bed of shale could be traced along
the river bluff for several miles, but ex-
cepting in one place, was not as thick
as where found in the shaft. A piece
shale about the size of hickory nut
had been tried in retort by a Yankee
scientist, and found to contain three
drops of oil. The ipfsmable property
of the shale came from this oil. at
will be remembered" says the Journal,
that a little oil was found in the ar
tesian well in this city when the shale
was being penetrated, and the same
was noticed at Yankton and Ponca."
A small piece of the shale which Mr..
Alexander had in his pocket, was
shown to the reporter. 1t looked gray
and critics., like common shale only it
had greasy look and touch, something
ike camel coal. The only foreign
mineral that showed were specks of
iron pyrites. The owner of the mine
evidently has no knowledge Of true
Scotch shale oils.

Uncle Sans Men.

Uncle Sans letter carriers are a
Woodworking set of men, and are liable
to contract rheumatism because of the
constant exposure to which they are
subjected. Calling at the postoffice the
reporter had a pleasant conversation
with Mr.. j. H. Mattern, one of the most
popular and clever letter carriers in
Indianapolis. Mr.. Mattern said that,
while in the army during the
civil war, he sprained one of his ankles,
which was always worse in the spring
during the period of the rapid changes
in the weather. He did not find much
relief from the several remedies he APP
piled. But two years ago he hit upon
st. Jacobs Oil, and experienced won
derful relief from its use. Several APP
plieations of the Great German Rene
dy relieved him entirely. The report
er talked with others among the letter
carriers, and found that the Great Ger

office. They use it for sore feet, rheu-
matism, ETC., and praise it highly

Houses Bnilt Of Cotton.

The Black Bears Cunning.

I really think that ..Bruin posses the
sense of humor; at all events, his actions
point that way, and there is no doubt
that he is extremely cunning and OBJ
serving. | once had an English friend
visiting me, who played the flute. He
was in the habit of marching up and
down. while playing, near tame bear
| had at the time. The bear had a
piece of stick about two feet long,
which he tossed about for amusement.
After time, he came to handle the
stick very much as my friend did bis
flute. This annoyed my sensitive
friend, and in revenge he leased the
bear with uncouth noises. Bruin
shifted and whined, and waited his OPP
portunity for delivering a tremendous
blow with his paw at his enemy, whose
tall hat was knocked completely over
his eyes. He escaped being scalped by
dropping flat and rolling out of the
reach of the bear. This bear spent
much of his time in the tree to which
he was chained, and when climbing
usually got his chain twisted over and
under the branches in a most intricate
manner, but never failed to take out
every turn as he decended. A friend
who owned tame bear told me that,
for long time. he could not account
for the mysterious way in which the
poultry disappeared. Observing, at
different times, a good many feathers
around Bruins pole, he began to
suspect that the bear was the culprit.
Close watching confirmed his suspi-
cions. When Bruin thought he was
unobserved, he would seize any unfor-
tunate hen or chicken within his reach
and devour it; but if any one approach
ed before he could complete the meal,
he would sit upon his prey until the
danger of discovery had passed. He
was betrayed at last by the cackling OF
an old hen, that he had failed to ST.
lence.

What a Three-Cent Stamp Will Do.

II will do more than any other piece of paper
of its size and value in the world. 1t accom-
plishes what would, a few years ago, have been
deemed impossible. That talismanic plaeard on
the corner of an envelope or package commands
the use of capaeious and beautiful buildings
wherein to receive your letters, orders trains OF
cans to carry them, and starts an army ofmen to
deliver them. 1t brings information from every
section of the country and tidings of pleasure as
well. But the browning consideration is the fact
that a three-cent stamp sent TO A. NoGELER Co,
BGltia0re Nd, with the applicants name and

dar replete with interesting reading matter, and.

But however high Garfield reasoned

creed whose doctrines they do not COM

men by the thousand will cling to
