New Uses for Paper.

Boston Advertiser: A company in
New Jersey is making paper counter
panes and pillow-shams. Number one
MANILA paper is used, two large sheets
being held together by small Irvine at
intervals of three or four inches, gummed
so as to stick the sheets together where
the Irvine lies. The Irvine strengthens
the paper. The margin of the counter
pane has hem, in (which is more of
the Irvine to keep it from tearing.
Beautiful designs are printed on the up
per surface of the counterpart and pill
low-shams, which make very neat ap-
pearance. When they become wrinkled
they can be made smooth by hot fat
irons. They retail at Is cents q Set
The counterpart can be left on the bed
when it is occupied, if SO desired, and
in cold weather it will be found very
neat and warm article of bed clothing,
since the paper will prevent the es-
cape of heat about as well as wooler
blanket. -. ~.

The Rise Of a. French Marshal.

From the Family Herald.
Andoche Junot was Burgundian by
birth, born in It'll, and in his youth, af-
ter preparatory schooling, he studied
law, but never practiced. When he was
81 years Of age he enlisted in the army
as volunteer; it was in the height Of
the revolution, few months previous
to the execution of the King, Louis XVI,
In September, 1893, when Paris had
become comparatively quiet under the
rule of the Constituent Assembly. Ma
poleon Bonaparte, then scarcely known
beyond the old convention and his own
section Of the army, was sent to wrest
Toulon from the English and Spanish;
and among the men under his command
WAS young Junot. During the siege that
followed Napoleon had occasion one day
to send dispatch to distunt point.
He was in the saddle, halted before the
company to which Junot belonged, and,
running his eyes along the line, he asked
if there was one of them that could
write. Junot raised his cap and bowed
upon which he was conducted to the
right of the line, where the musicians
we're; and here large drum was set on
end, paper, pen and ink furnished. and
the youthful soldier was directed
to write. He took the pen and dashed
off the dispatch IN clear, round, hand
some hand, and was just beginning to
write the closing signature when can

up the earth close to his left foot, COW
ering him and the drum-head with dirt.
Without so much as the culver of
finger, without perceptible hesitation,
the writer gave the paper hirt to throw
off the gravel and then finished the
message, laughingly saying as he did so,
"That dirt is rather too coarse for blot-
ting sand, but it has done no damage"
And he folded the missive and d.
rected it, after which he handed it
up to his commander, who had been all
the while narrowly watching him.

to it's destination. Ny orderly will
furnish you. Bear the message, and
then report to me-" On the fol-
lowing day Junot was made Lieuten-
ant, and he was Captain at the end Of
the month, having, on account of his
daring courage, won the sobriquet of
"The Tempest" In the campaign Of
1897 he was promoted to- the rank of
Colonel, and in Egypt he was a Briga-

Governor OF Paris, then Lieutenant
General, then Marshal, and in the end
he was made Duke Of Abrantes. !

Crude Petroleum 40 q Paint.

When petroleum is used as paint for
fences and outbuildings, with what
should it be mixed?
,ANs.-As the oil sinks into tho wood
very rapidly, no coloring matter should
be used with it, as it would be left dry
on the surface or be washed off by the
first shower. Indeed, no coloring mat
ter is required as the oil leaves the wood
of q brownish color that Is agreeable,
and hides the dirt that gathers on
fences and outbuildings. Really the
effect of petroleum is to saturate the
timber, not to form q coat on it, so that
it adds greatly to its durability, and
forms an excellent "priming" coat on
which to lay q second coat of oil and
mineral paint. : -.

The Handy Housewife.

New York Journal: II wish there was
some way to keep those children quiet
on rainy day or when it is too warm
for them to be out in the sun playing"
said weary mother the other day to
her friend and neighbor. Railways no.
tice what little trouble you have with
your children, although you have three
more than I have; and I thought, per-
haps, you could tell me how you man
sged it"
"A very easy matter; my DEAR" re-
piled her friend children must be
amused or they will become cross and
naughty; so would you or I. Suppose
you were doomed to stay all day, or
half day, in one room, were not allowed
to read, write or sew, could only sit on
certain chairs and handle certain arti-
cles, and there was no one to talk to or
nothing but game of solitaire for us
to play. Why, we'd be almost crazy.
Any one, man, woman or child, in good
health, must have something to do dur
ing their waking hours. Yet how few
mothers try to give something to the
busy hands and active brains of the lit
tie ones: You notice children out in
the street or garden: Are they ever
still or quiet? No. It is true they
find amusement in the most trivial
things. Now I have thought about all
this, and have fixed up one room in
the house, the play room, exclusively
for my children.
"The room is the large one on the top
door. It is all I had to spare, as I could
not afford a good carpet painted the
floor and left it bare: A poor carpet
would be worn out in Six months, In
the winter the room is heated by it,
tie circular stove, and over this is put
wire screen, so that there is no danger
of the children burning themselves.
The walls are painted a delicate gray,
with pale pink border, and l have
wainscoting that is one of the CHIEF
charms of the room.
"What is it? Well, I collected all
the pictures I could cut out of maya
zines, illustrated papers, ETC., and
pasted them on the wall from the floor
almost rs high as the mantel. Pictures
of birds and animals and those of child
life are, Of course, the greater number.
I put the colored prints down near the
surface, SO that the smaller children
could enjoy them, and they are pasted
on so nicely that tearing them is i'm
possible.
"Then," continued this nice little
mother, II have five boxes in the room,
all of different sizes. These boxes have
covers that fasten down, and are pad
ded on the top, with founce around
the edge, so that when the box is closed
they have the appearance of little otto
mans. Each child keeps his aythings
in the. Box, and it is his particular prop
erty The nursery rug with all kinds
of animals cut out of cloth, with the
name embroidered underneath. is
among the furnishings of the room.
"My children amuse themselves for
hours in that room, with only excur-
sions now and then to the kitchen for
something to play tea party with, and
I fatter myself that they learn consid-
cradle from the pictures, as we'll as
neatness and order from their play
things"

Give Wives and Daughters q Share in the
Profits.

A man who was out of health was de-
sired by his physician to work in the
garden every day. As be worked sim.
ply for his health it was easy enough te
find the garden to hoe in. Any body
was willing to employ such worker
But after month or so he gave it up
It did not do him bit of good. The
physician was puzzled. It was certain.
T. the right prescription for the right
man. Suddenly the thought struck him
that the man took no interest in his work.
and he directed him to try it again for q
share of the profits.
The new arrangement was made and
the man began operations. It soon
worked like charm. His mind
was wide awake, his interest in crops
and sales quickened, and in the end he
became we'll man. A share in the prof
it's is wonderful enlivener Of toll and
incites us to new energies and activities:
which we had supposed were quite be-
You'd our ability. Yes and it helps tc
rest weary arms and feet and make toll
seem endurable. One reason work is
such spiritless drudgery to so many
farmers families is because father is sole
banker of the firm, and money is ex-
torted from him with wrench equal to
that which old Isaac of York" sustained
when his captors sought to extort his
ducats. No wonder so many say with
Just resentment and indignation IL
would rather go without any thing than
ask father for it,"
It is here that root of bitterness
springs up which poisons all the sweet
wells of domestic happiness. If any
one earns fair wages it is farmers wife
and daughters, and it is both meanness
and injustice to grudge them their allow
ance and the privilege of spending it as
they please. How much one will compass
cheerfully, and with no apparent dis
advantage to the health, when the
profits are their own. A lady and her
daughter drive into our village for their
supplies, who do the work indoors for
a large farm, and who, besides, take q
family of city boarders at good price.
The proceeds are their own, and they
willingly take upon themselves the
added work for the advantage they reap,
and enjoy the Investment of .thsir hard

OV0EuIe06oOs
A woman who is we'll known as one
of the most brilliant leaders of society
in Washington had, when she was a
young girl, a bitter experience, which she
can afford to laugh at now, and tell for
the benefit of other young girls.
She was the daughter of poor
country farmer, and lived far out of the
reach of the fashionable world. She
received an invitation to spend day
and night with some friends in their
cottage at the seaside near Nahant.
awe will have little boating in the
morning, and little dancing at night"
said the note of invitation.
She knew that her friends were among
the most wealthy and influential fami-
lies in Boston. and resolved not to dis
grace them with her plain attire. A
silk of bright color was bought and
made up into fantastic Topped gown,
with an airy, plumed hat to match, for
the boating party; while for the eve
ming she bought ball-drsss of pink
tulle, trimmed with large punches of
artifcia roses. The two dresses cost
her whole years allowance. :.
She arrived in the morning, dressed
for the water-party, and found her
friends in the boat dressed in loosely
fitting gowns of blue flannel. Before
they returned her dress was drenched
with the salt water. She dressed for
evening, and gong down, with bare
neck and shoulders, found her friends
in the simplest summer dresses-lawns
and muslins.
They were too courteous to show
their astonishment by look or q smile.
''But," she says, t.it was the most bit
tor moment of my life. The vulgarity
of display was burned into me then. ]

to abhor it as I dc" 't5lez guT ~ y
