BAYREuTH, Feb. 1e.--Wagner's widow
was 80 overcome ON the arrival of the funeral
train here that she was obliged TO be lifted
from the car. A guard of 81 citizens
watched by Wagner's bier throughout the
night.
The funeral services over the body began
ct the depot. The remains were placed on
the station platform, the funeral march
from the opera of " Siegfried" !" meanwhile
being played. Herr Muncker referred to
Wagner's services at Bayreuth and laid on
the bier a wreath presented by the town.
Herr Feuetell spoke In the name of the
foreign Wagner associations and deputa-
tions. Amid the tolling of all the bells in
town the procession started. The
hearse was drawn by four horses
In black trappings and was preceded by
two carriages loaded with wreaths. Follow
ing the hearse came the clergy, a represent
ative Of the King, numerous Populations,
many artists and military and civil officers
and large crowd Of people. On the arrival
Of the procession at the Villa Wahnfried the
coffin was taken out Of the hearse and at
the desire Of the widow laid In the tomb
with only simple religious blessing. Al
most the entire town was dEaped with
mourning emblems. Splendid wreaths
were sent from most of the theatres and mu-
sical societies of Germany and Austria and
also from London.

Case Of Fascination.

II was my fortune, says . writer. in
London Nature, to witness q case Of
"fascination between large striped
snake and medium-sized toad. When
first seen they were about fifteen inches
apart. The snake lay in coil with its
head thrust out toward its victim, and
moving slowly, its eyes glitteriag and
its tongue darling necessarily. The
toad was standing on the very tips Of
his claws, with its limbs rigidly drawn
up to their full length, its eyes fixed
upon its captor and fairly bursting from
their sockets, its mouth covered with
foam, and its whole body swaying to and
fro, and seeming just ready to pitch for
ward upon its face. The movement Of
the snake became more and more rapid,
and the agitation of the toad more in.
tense, until the space between them Wa,
reduced to some three or four inches,
when the snake opened wide its mouth
and the labored breathing of its victim
stopped short in q low cultural moan.
At this point my own agitation became
30 great that, Selling a heavy stone,
finished the snake at one blow. The
instant the snake was struck the toad
fell backward as suddenly as thought.
self had been hit, and lay upon its back
for some minutes with no signs of life,
At length it gained its feet and began t.
creep languidly away. =

Straw Lumber.

At Sioux Falls it is proposed to estab
fish mandatory for making lumber Of
straw. If there is process by which il
can be cheaply made and it possesses
the qualities claimed for it, and can be
utilized in so many Of the ways fol
which lumber is used, 1T would certainly
be a profitable branch of industry in
North Dakota if anywhere, as straw is
abundant and almost without value here
and lumber is costly. The Iron Age,
which is an industrial publication of I'M
doubted authority, treats of this subject
and gives straw lumber this very explicit
endorsement:
"The other day we had occasion to
investigate pretty thoroughly the char
acter, properties aud uses for straw
lumber. As! some OF our readers know,
this is an article manufactured in the
west, and turned out in boards and sheets
thirty-three inches in width by twelve
feet in length, and of various thick
nesses. 1t is heavier than black walnut,
has no grain, is of the color of straw

Of his manufactured product al $18, 900,

make business of canning tomatoes
clean tubs, with the understanding that
the women who trim and peel shall
throw the skins and parings into these
tubs every day the tubs are removed,
the stuff Ia them ground up. fermented,
favored, and sold as tomato catchupto the
extent Of $4,000. Another singular
and decidedly pernicious business Is the
manufacture Of cheap candies from whit
earth, or terra alba, mixed with little
sugar and glucose. The deputy who in.
vestigated the confectionery business re-

board, though considerably darker and
is much stronger and sitter than ordinary
timber. Though made in. large quanti-
ties, the supply is hardly equal to the
demand. There are advantages in this
material, which in the near future will
probably make it the highest value, not
only to the carpenters and architects
but for the car builder, and for mechan-
les generally. It's toughness, the firmness
with which it holds the nails and screws
the ease with which it can be cut and the
fact that it can be bent by the aid Of
heat, shaped In dies, and is not liable Ia
shrink or warp, and is little affected by
water, even when unprotected, makes
the range ofits probable uses extraordi.
narily great. It seems to be non-con.
ductor of heat and electricity. 1t can be
rolled up into pipes of great strength and
light weight, and is available for range
of uses for paneling purposes for which
we have no equivalent."-Argus.
