Rust.

Once upon time an Arabian princess
was presented with an ivory casket, ex-
quisitely wrought, by her teacher, with
the injunction not to open il until year
had rolled around Many we're the specu-
lations as to what it contained, and the
time was irnpaticntly waited for when the
jeweled key should disclose the mystic
rious contents. IL came at last, and the
maiden went away alone, and with treni-
bling haste unlocked the treasure; and
10 roposiDg on delicate satin Innings,
lay nothing but shroud of rust; the
form Of something beautiful could be
disccrned, but the beauty had gone for
ever. fearful with disappointment, she
did not at first see slip Of parchment
containing these words
Dear pupil: You learn from this
lesson in your life. This trinket. when
incloscd. bad upon it only single spot
of rust by neglect it has become the
useless thing you now behold, only
blot on its pure surroundings So little
stain on your character will, by iDattep-
ton and neglect, mar bright and useful
life, and in time will leave only the dark
record Of whatmight have been Ifyou
now place within jewel Of gold, and after
many years seek the result, you will find
it still as sparkling as ever. SO with
yourself, treasure up only the pure, the
good, and you will ever be an ornament
to society, and source of true pleasure
to yourself aud friends.

Josh Billings thinks tho charity Of
this world n conundrum, aud he gives il
up. One cold, snowy afternoon last
winter he saw thinly clad man trying
to sell couple Of lead pencils at the
foot Of the stairs Of an elevated railway
station, imploring each passer-by to pur-
chase, as he was starving Seven passed
without buying; Josh was eighth,
and he bought them and passed on to
the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Soon. having
an crrand at the Gilsey house, be thought
he would try bis luck selling pencils on
the way. He took the two he had
bought, pulled bis coat collar up and bis
bat brim down, and set out in the dark
AT Twenty-fourth street he stopped
benevolent looking pedestrian with -
"Pleasc buy my two pencils for ten cents
apiece; ! am starving have not had
anything to eat for twenty-four hours,
etc The man pushed him aside, saying
grufiy: II can buy three for quarter
down the street. and went on. Three
others being appealed to, did about the
same. At last lie slouched into the
Gilsey house and tried the dodge on
man at the bar, who tossed him quar-
ter, saying, take at, old man, don't
want any pencils" Then Josh re-
vcaled himself and told the story Of his
experience as an amateur pencil seller,
TO the great amusement Of the Assem-.

Z Honses of Cotton .

Of all substances apparently the least
likely to be used in the construction Of a
iireproof building cotton would, perhaps,
take the first rank and paper the second,
and yet both these materials are actually
being employed for the purpose indi-
Gated, and their use will probably ex-
tend. Compressed paper pulp is sue
cessfully used in the manufacture of
doors, wall panelings and for other
similar purposes, with the result that all
risk Of warping and cracking is OBJ
waited, while increased lightness is at
tanned and the fear Of dry rot is forever
banishcd. PAPER mache, after having
served useful purpose in an unobtru-
sive manner for years as n material for
small trays, paper knives aud other such
light articles, has suddenly assumed u
more important position in the indus
trial world. A still more sudden and
striking advance has been made in the
employment Of cotton as building ma
terial. A preparation called celluloid,
in which cotton is leading ingredient,
has been used lately as substitute for
ivory in the manufacture VI such arti-
cles as billiard balls and paper cutters,
and now Canadian manufacturer has
invented process by which compressed
cotton may be used, not only for doors
and window frames, but for the whole
facade of large buildings. The cnor-
nous and increasing demand for paper
in its legitimate uses as u printing and
writing material prevents me extended
use of their papier mache as a building
material, for which it is so well suited
in many ways but the production of
cotton is practically unlimited, and there
seems to be large field available for its
use in its new capacity MS substitute

proof and as hard as stone, absolutely

thus produced admirably adapted for

buildings Of which the shell may Or may

while it easily lends itself 10 decorative
purposes.

AROTT RUSINESS.

An exchange questions whether the
changes, prospective and actual, in the
revenue laws account for the dearth of
business noted all over the country in
the past few months and shown in the
diminished clearanees in the great
commercial eenters.
II Is not likely that the people have,
on account of the tariff agitation, or of
proposed and real changes in the inter-
nal revenue taxes, materially curtailed
their consumption. Prices have not
advanced and there has been no reason,
based on any action of Congress, or
anticipated action, why the consumers
of commodities should have denied
themselves or should now deny them
selves anything they are in the habit OF
buying. 1t is probable, therefore, that
what has occurred Is an abridgement Of
speculation. This cannot be regarded
as q real evil. Where cessation Of pro-
duction, on account of the shutting
down of mills and closing Of manufae-
tories, has occurred, and hands have
been thrown OUT of employment, there
Is q real loss and curtailment at once of
consumption and business. But this re-
suit has not been general or even extern
sive enough to materially affect the
whole body of the people. 1t is
reasonable, therefore, to conclude that
the country is experiencing eurtail-
ment ofspeculation and the extrava-
gances it engenders rather than cur
tailment Of real business. The great
body Of the agriculturists the country
are In as good condition as at any period
in the past, and the same may be
equally affirmed Of artisans and opera
lives. with lhe slight modification inn
plied In the reference to the ineonsider-
able number Of industries affected by
