Fire-Proof Writing Paper.

A paper which will withstand an inn
mense heat without rendering the writ
ing illegible, may be made of an asbes-
tos body coated on one or both sides in
combination with a thin writing paper
coated or impregnated with salt. The
heat has the effect of forming a thin
glaze which will combine with the as
bestos body. The thin coating of salt
may be applied to the paper with a
brush or by means OF bath, and COM
bined with the asbestos body by the use
of a cement composed of or contain
ing silicate of soda, to which should be
added small portion of carbonate of
lime, to set the mixture The asbestos
or coaline paper may be united by being
subjected to a powerful pressure. The
ink used for printing o., writing on the
fire-proof combination may be an or
binary ink containing nitrate of silver;
or, if desired, other solutions of metal
may be used. When paper so prepared
and written and printed upon is sub
jected to an extreme heat, the thin sur
face is consumed or DESTROYED, leaving
the metallic or incombustible part of
the ink, which has penetrated or
touched the thin paper, plainly legible
on the asbestos body.-Paper Trade

is severely plain; there is SO little varia
ton that the prospect soon becomes
monotonous. A feature is the bread gal
lcrios, with their immense pillars; nearly
every building has them.
In these great houses there is room fol
hospitality. Tbe people haven't rs much
money as we have in the North, but they
know how to spend what they have bet
ter. A New Orleans gentleman said;
GA great many people live comfortably
on nothing" If they have but dollar
they spend it like king. Society seems
to be their life. Breakfasts, lunchcons,
dinners, balls and receptions! They
never tire OF the crush, the chatter, the
music They work as we play. The
women are beautiful and well educated
generally. Men idcalizc them. Their
sway is absolute The result is doubt
less beneficial. They try to live up to
the standard which thcir male friends
have set up for thcm-mortals that are
but one step from heaven. "a link be
tween woman and an angel" Per
hapS too great Il part Of their lives is
spent III society; the stream Of insin-
ccrlty and iattcry which is poured into
their cars year i'll and year out is apt TO
wash away the freshness and simplicity
which constitute woman'S greatest charm.
They read good books, and cOnScuucnt-
ly are broad-mindcd. They have pnct-
cal ideas, and make the best of wives.
Their pale faces will not compare iuvoU-
bly, with the rosy checks OF Northern
girls, III the eyes of Northern men at
least. They ruin their complcXionS by
using powder; at very early age thor
faces arc colorlcss. Congress might pass
an anti-facc powder act, on the ground
that beauty is gift from the gods for
the benefit of mankind. and she who
ruthlcssl ly destroys it is fit subject for
fine and imprisonment.
The men do not average as well as the
women. They arc able, but do not know
how to make their talents serve thcm.
They lack energy and application, and
possibly opportunity, although men
ought to mako opportunities Very few
of them still cling to the idea that work
Is degrading, that Il gentleman must be Il
loafcr.
Amuscmcnts arc Literally patronizcd.
Tuesday was the Mardi Ciras festival.
There is no holiday i'll the North like it.
Business is suspended, and thr whole
population appears on the streets. Fully
half the people wear masks and highly
fantastic costumes, and are given due
license i'll speech and manners. From
early morning until late ut night they
blow horns, dance, sing and play the
fool generally. They arc better citizens
for the frolic; it rcvivcS their interest in
sober things, and convinccs them that II
little nonsense goes II long ways.
