North and South America. Next in
order come England, Spain, Italy,
Russia, Austria. etc. The material is
rather costly, and the paper has to be
specially prepared by rubbing each
sheet on both sides with soap powder,
SO that they may easily seperate. Eight
sheets are put on the matrix, and then
the work-girl beats with a small
hammer until the design is cut out.
Thirty blows are necessary to cut ten
square centimeters. Efforts haye been
made to cut the paper with one stroke,
but they have been unsuccessful, and
the little lead hammers have to be re-
tanned. The little boxes for fruits and
terrines etc., are made. however, by
machinery, but only within the last

cent cheaper great many of them are
sold.

Lace Paper

Lace paper is one If those things
over which some people can aftord to
be romantic. 1t is the opposite OF
wrapping paper, at all events. How.
ever, here is what Belgian paper has
to say on the subject Who of lis has
not admired those fine outlines and
wondrous paper arabesaues which cover
the smallest box of confectionery, and
make the contents hundred times
more appetizing? A bouquet with Its
band of guipure, or fine roast leg OF
mutton with gotfered sleeve, all seem
to take on new charm--so true is il
that sometimes the manner in which
an object is presented is better than the
present itself. There are very few
manufacturers of lace paper and these
almost exclusively IN France and Ger
many. 1t dates only within the last
fifteen years, like so many other articles
of luxury. Confcctioners and pastry
cooks make, of course great use of it,
but butchers are now putting then
choicest joins in lace paper. Then
horticulturists, florists and cigar manu-
facturers employ it. A proof of the ex.
tension of the manufacture may be
formed from the fact, that while not
more than 100000. worth was turned
out in Paris some thirty years ago, it i:

Swine Plague or Cholera.

There can be no doubt that a good
hygenic treatment, and strict separa-
ton of diseased animals from the well
ones, is advisable. Hogs always evince
a vitiated appetite for the excrements
and filter of their companions, and as
these excrements contain an innumer-
able number of schizophytes, or disease
producing elements, therefore the great
est care should be taken to avoid con-
tact with diseased animals. Clean and
dry quarters, pure water, good food,
clean feeding troughs, reasonable and
adequate protection from inclement
weather should be provided. If medi-
cal treatment should be needed, l
would recommend the following pre-
scription, more as preventive than
as cure:
1st. A strong deeoction of tobacco parts;
tincture of iodyne, part; tincture of asfatida,
part; mixed.
md. Hyphosulphite soda, pulv. 5 parts; salt
petre, part; mixed.
Put the hogs on light diet of ground
or sloppy feed, with the medicine
mixed, alternating Nos. / and every
other day for four days, Zone dose a
day. and then every other day for six
days, still alternating Nos. and 2. A
dose for three head of full grown or
medium sized hogs should be about /
ounce of either number.
These remedies have proved valua-
BILE in some instances, yet have doubts
of a sure specific ever being brought
out.

The Sheriff. Daughters Car~Adventure
Adrian (Mich.) Record.

Adrian tMch.) Record.
Miss Louise Eldredge, who has Just
returned from visit near Ionia, re-
lates very amusing incident that took
place on board the cars, while on her
way to Adrian. Somewhere along the
route a man entered, and, the car be-
ing crowded, he took seat beside Miss
Eldrege, and when the conductor came
along rendered him a round-trip ticket
the limit of which had expired. The
conductor refused to receive it on the
ground that it was void. The man in
sisted that it should pass for his fare
and that the ticket had never been
used. Without further parley the con-
ductor jerked the bell, saying he would
put the passenger off, who then tender
ed the fare in cash; but the railroad
official had now got upon his dignity
and replied that it was too late. Off he
must go. The cars were stopped and
the fun began, Tie conductor seized
the passenger and the latter grasped
the back of a seat with an arm each
side of Miss Elredge, who was thus
firmly, if not lovingly, surrounded.
The fellow proved more than a match
for the conductor, who summoned the
entire train force, and for several mi
nutes the battle ragged furiously, while
so vigorous was the resistance that for
a time the plucky victim of the assault
bid fair to hold the fort in spite of TIE
fearful odds. And all this while the
Adrian young lady was encircled with
the brawny arms of her fellow-passen-
ger, who chung to the seat with book
agents tenacity. Frightened women
and discreet men hurried from the car,
and still the struggle went on, with Miss
Eldredge firmly imprisoned between
the arms of the doughty chap resisting
expulsion. The odds at length proved
too great, and the lady was released
from not altogether loving embrace,
the passengers grip wrenched loose,
and himself hustled from the train.
The situation was doubtless exciting,
but we venture that Miss Eldredge was
not frightened, in which all will agree
with us who remember the attempted
escape Of Kinney from the Adrian jail
when Col Eldredge was Sheriff, and of
Miss Eldredge's bravery in facing the
prisoner with a cooked revolver.

BnrntCOrk.

The first man that ever appeaaed be-
fore public audience with Burnt cork
on his face was Mr. Graupner, a men,
Der of the old Federal street tneater
company, Boston. On the 30th of
December, 1899, piece called "Oro-
noko, or the Royal Slave" was pro-
duced at that theater, and at the end
of the second act there is "Song of
the Negro Boy" and Mr.. Graupner APP
peared and sung it. So great was the
applause given to the song that he had
to bring in his little bench and sing his
story over and over again. The second
person was an Albany, \. Y, actor
known as Pot Pie Herbert. He
wrote and sung song called "The
battle of Plattsburg," and sung it in
character in a Boston theater in 1914
George Nichols was the third person !;
he was clown attached to western cir
cuses and Purdy Browns theater. He
appeared in 1927. He was the original

afterward as a negro. He was the
