A. NOVEL DIVORCE SUIT.-"Wonders
will never cease" Lately case was
brought into court by leading attorney,
in which the wife sues for divorce upon
the grounds that her husband refuses to
buy Saur's Rail Road Paints, with which
she wanted their house and barn painted.
She said that she knew that they would
make the incest and best finish, that they
would last longer and were very much
cheaper than any other paint she had ever
heard of. Her attorney claimed that her
case was good one, that he knew she was
right IL this particular, because he had
bought Saur's Rail Road Paints himself
and used them, that previous to being a
lawyer he was painter and that he knew
there was no better paint in the world
than this very Rail Road Paint, and that
he would try her case at the next term OF
court.

Straw Lumber.
fFrom the Iron Age.1


The other day we had occasion to inves~
tigate pretty thoroughly the character,
properties, and uses of straw lumber. As
some of our readers know, this is an az
ticle manufactured at the west, and
turned out in boards Or sheets tt1lrty-
three inches in width by twelve feet IN
length, and of various thicknesses. 1t is
heavier than black walnut, has no grain,
is of the color Of straw board, though con-
siderably darker, and is much stronger
and sitter than ordinary timber: Though
made in considerable quantities at the
present time, the supply seems hardly
equal to the demand. There are advan-
tages in this material which in the near
future will probably make it OF the high,
est value, not only for carpenters and
architects, but for the car builder, and.
in fact, for the mechanics generally. Its
toughness, the frmness with which 1t
holds nails and screws, the ease with
which it can be cut, and the fact that it
can be cut by the aid of heat, shaped IN
dies, and is not liable to shrink or
warp, and is little effected by water,
even when unprotected, makes the range
of its probable uses extraordinarily great.
It seems to be non-conductor OF heat
and electricity. It can be rolled up into
pipes of great strength and light weight,
and is available for range OF uses Tor
paneling purposes for which we have no
equivalent.
