Wheels Not Made of Pulp.

'tThe statement that the most deli
cate watch wheels are now made of
paper pulp in Germany is hoax, I
+ think" said g. prominent jeweler and
matchmaker on Broadway to a Mail
and Express representative. II have
been in the business some forty years
and work on German, Swiss, English,
French and American watches every
week, repairing or taking them apart,
and have not seen wheel made Of
pulp, not even among the latest
watches from Germany. Then from
my knowledge of machinery nee
essary to make a watch and run it for
several years / do not think that pulp
by any process whatever can be made
hard enough to be of use. Brass and
steel are chiefly used to make watch
wheels. Platina is too hard to work
and too costly, and gold will not do
for many reasons. "' 'z
paper buckets and boats are made,
but they have no special friction COM
pared to that of watchwheel, which
runs in cogs all the time. Suppose a
process was discovered to harden pulp
to degree equal to steel; then the
question is, would it last as long as
steel? ( think not. Car wheels are
made of paper, but they run them
merely on exhibition and not every
day. Steel and brass are metals
formed by natural processes during
the course Of many hundred centuries.
Paper or pulp hardened by artificial
means when not subject to constant
friction may be equal to steel or brass
for certain processes, but | imagins it's
durability would be uncertain. Hard
wood, of course, can be used. for a
time as cog wheels in watches, and
many other temporary tough mate
rails, but they are SIMPLY for exhibit
ton and not utility. So many watches
are made in Switzerland / wonder they
have not substituted some cheap ma
terial for steel and brass, but didn't
expect Germany to start at it first.
Indeed, my firm opinion is that 1t is q
mistake about pulp being used even
Tor big cog wheels, much less small,
delicate ones. "--New York Mail and
Express. ia.

Relative to the charge that the prosecution is
playing fast and loose with the lottery cases.
Prosecutor Harding says they have been set for
trial twice. At one time the trial of Alvin O.
Royse and the proceedings following it. prevent
ed anything being done with them in their regu-
lar calendar order. They were set for another day,
and beyond that, Judge Norton granted con-
tinuance on account of the illness of the de-
PENDANTS attorney, Judge Heller. When the
Welch trial was on Mr. Harding told Judge
Heller that he wanted to try them next, but the
latter said he was sick and was compelled to 20
North for few days. The cases will probably
be heard on Tuesday.

diphtheria The parents had arranged for the
funeral to take place from Catholic Church,
but under orders of the Board of Health, SAM

An objection was made to official interference,
when Newcomb went to Bishop Chatard, who
told the parents they must obey the wishes
of the Board of Health, and have funeral at
the house, with as few persons as possible in at
tendance. The board has issued an order re-
curing all persons who die with contagious dis

The following extracts are from letter
received from an old friend, Mr.. Z. w. Mills,
who is located at Walla Walla, w. T., engaged
in the hardware trade: "The NoRTHRRNKR is
a welcome visitor and keeps us posted regard
ing old acquaintance, changes, etc., when
friends fail to write. One thing like to see,
is your weather notes, as it enables us to
mark the difference in climate. This is a
very even, Interchangeable climate. We get
but little rain, yet enough to make the aver
age wheat crop thirty-fve bushels per acre,
some fields yielding sixty-fve. Since No
vember 1st it has rained enough so that plow-
ing could be commenced. Slight showers in
September and October started the wheat.
Our railroad depots are yet stacked high with
sacked grain, and farther in the interior, they
will not get it all away before spring. It is
estimated that this inland empire raised 300,
900 tons of wheat this year, 100000 last year :,
yet scarcely one fourth of the area is under
cultivation. Our winters are peculiar, no
wind at all. Last winter snow stood on top
of posts two feet deep, yet our SHOWS are of
short duration, lasting, perhaps, from one to
two weeks, then a''chinook" warns it up and
it gently disappears. Large herds of cattle,
horses, ETC., live and are never fed. Hay is
provided for sheep in case of emergency, es-
timating two weeks 10 be the average, some
years less and some more. There is graud
opportunity now, for any one with little
money and energy, to get good start. We
cannot vote yet, but hope to be let in this
winter. Please celebrate my Goth wedding
anniversary, on the 26th inst, with good
turkey, If they do not roost too high"

road should run through his land, as it prob
ably will, he would give the right of way,
depot grounds and $1,000. Mr.. Longwell
offered to be one of ten or twenty to guaran-
tee $4,000 aid from this town. Concluding
that there had been enough talk about the
project, and realizing that it stakes money to
bnild railroads." q soliciting committee of
five, consisting of DR.. L. r.. Harrison, s. t.
Bowen, A Van Auken, /. B. Conner and s.
Hawkins, was appointed. Another meeting
was called for next Monday evening. at
which time it is hoped that the $4,000
asked of Paw Paw will have been pledged
in black and white. No money will be called
for until the sum of $15O,O00 shall have
been subscribed along the line between here
and Benton Harbor. There is no question
but the proposed road would prove the saliva
ton of our town and great benefit to the
country along its line, and it is hoped that it
may be secured, as it can be, by united and
persistent effort on the part of all who would
be benefited to a much greater extent than
their investments in the enterprise.

A few months ago there appeared in this
paper, in the column occupied by observer"
an item stating that o farmers wife in Ant
werp, who had been sick long time, had
been healed by faith, etc.
. thought at first ought to answer it, but
knowing that the character of his writings
was 80 well known, did not think it neces-
sary. I knew that many of my friends would
know 1t referred to me- but knew the true
circumstances so well that they did not need
an explanation. l could see nothing in the
item that could bring a reproach upon relig
ion, but it has been reported in a much
worse form than it appeared; and it has been
suggested to me by more than one, by. one
not christian, that ought to be willing to
confess so great blessing. Though l have
been willing and glad to speak of my healing
whenever thought that it would honor God
or help any one to believe yet had not felt
that l ought to speak through the local
paper. But if one of the many sick and
suffering ones should be brought through my
writings to accept Jesus as the Great Physi-
clan OF. soul and body, surely it would not be
in vain. To those who do not believe the
bible, can only say, my friends, you are
making a great mistake. The bible is true;
accept it, believe it, live by its teachings, and
you will be happy now, and happy in eterni-
ty. But to those who believe in prayer, /
would speak-to those who believe in Jesus.
read in the bible that when Jesus was here
on earth he healed all who came to him; /
read too that "Jesus Christ is the same yes
terday and to-day, yea and forever" But
admitting that the day Of miracles is past
(as so many believe), surely God still ans
wers prayer. In Luke xi-l3, l read, eff ye
then, being evil, know how to give good gifts
unto yonr children, how much more shall
your Heavenly Father give the holy spirit to
them that ask him. Acts ii, $3.50: "And ye
shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, for
the promise is unto you, and to your child
ren, and to all that are afar off," John XIV, z:
eff We abide in me, and my words abide in
you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be
done unto you." Then in James v, 10, is a
direct promise that the prayer of faith shall
save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him
up" 1t doesn't say in moment or an hour,
but the Lord shall raise him up. AS we be-
lieve and trust, we receive.
These and many more precious promises
have been verified to me and mine, and
would testify to the glory of God, and for the
encouragement of any who would believe,
that / have been made well and strong.
when believe was beyond the skill of
man, wholly through faith and prayer. To
any suffering one who would like the particu-
lars in my case, will gladly give them. Or,
by writing to Miss Carrie Judd, box 260,
Buffalo, N. Y, or to DIR. Charles Cullis, Bos-
ton, they can receive plenty of evidence that
God answers prayer, and that we receive, ac-
cording to our faith, both temporal and spir-.
itual blessings. MRs. M. V. ERKENBrcK.
