Bottles Made OF Paper.

An attempt, now being made on an

serves some passing notice. The paper
bottle industry has achieved consider
able success in Chicago, and is gradual
ly extending throughout the United
States. Foremost among the adyan-
tages accruing from this new adapta-
tion of paper is the fact that the bottles
are unbreakable, while the cost at which
they can be placed on the market is con
siderably lower than that of an article
of the same size in glass, stonsware or
tin. y great saving in weight is more

Mental Effect of Hot Weather.


One Of the most interesting studies
bearing upon this subject (of the rela-
tion of mind to matter) is found in OBJ
serving the effects OF high temperature
upon different organizations. The ner-
vous, sensitive. egotistic man, when the
thermometer ranges among the nine
ties, is chiefly intent upon publishing
his perpetual discomfort. Instead of
sitting still and cooling his mind through
work or general diversion, he moves
busi!y about telling everybody how bot
it is. with gestures and ejaculasions TO
match. He is a mental radiator, bent
upon transmitting his own conditions To
other minds, and, without intending 1t,
is generating his own discomfort within
others.
On the other hand, the man of even
temperament, of cool mind, avoids all
mention of physical and thermal con-
dition on hot day. His purpose is TO
get his mind as far away from them as
possible. He hears his nervous friend
fling down his pen or spade and declare
in is too hot for work. 10 him con-
genial work IS the very best means of
keeping his attention away from physi-
cal discomfort. One feels comrara-
lively cool in this mans presence. He
is partial refrigerator and transmits
his own conditions.
The mere physical temperature OF
man on hot day is not the measure
of discomfort. In this busy season hun
dreds of New England farmers toll in
open fields in the hot sun in such ex-
cessive perspiration that hardly dry
thread is found on them through the
day. But il one is accosted on the roao-
side and reminded that 1t is a terribly
hot day, he will generally reply with
true Yankee drolleIy that it is splendid
weather for corn. The farmers minC
is en- the hay and corn crops instead of
the heat. HIS mind is kept cool by con-
genial labor and the promise of good
crops.
What is true of man is true of beast.
One of the most painful sights TO per-
son of kind heart Is to see the distress
OF horses that pull the street cars on
scorching day. These animals receive
the best care and treatment BY the
companies, and their muscular strength
is not overtaXed so far as mere work is
concerned. a horse dong the same
work on country roac would not per-
spire much. 1t is the tremendous strain
upon their nerves caused by constant
fear of losing their feet or the smooth
pavement @hen starting the car that
chiefly induces their sweat and semi
torture. Even with horse it is the
condition OF mind that largely decides
Is power To endure heat and work.

Farm Notes.

A p5or horse eats as much as a good
one scrub cattle as much as grades or
thoroughbreds moEgrel poultry as
much as grades or pure breeds. Then
why keep inferiar stock
1t has been remarked that the farm
ers who best succeed in this country are
those who devote their chief attention
to some one product which is favored
10y their special soil and climate.
Tomatoes trained to stakes give the
sweetest fruit and remain in bearing
longest, though many cu!tivstors, who
grow for size and quantity, believe they
have the best results when growing
them on the level ground.
1t is not important that young calf
should have whole milk, except during
the first two or three days. while the
cows milk is unfit for other use That
skinned and warmed to blood heat is
better Than whole milk after it has be-
come cold.
The value of any kind of farm stock
is very largely determined by its feeding
the 6Ist year of its life. Breeding
counts for much. though every sue
cessful breeder knows how greatly the
character of a young animal is changed
by ipnUtricious or improper food.
Don't break, but train the colt. Be
gin the lessons with the halter early,
ard let the education continue until
you have a perfectly trained horse. Do
not wean the colt too soon. Feed the
dam and colt freely but with care.
Corn should be used sparingly. as it Is
fat producing. The colt will early
learn to eat oats with the dam.
The most experienced shepherds ad-
wise that sheep should never be turned
into a yard with cattle and other stock.
Their timid nature makes them prey
to all other animals, and hence they
should be guarded from harm. They
are hooked about by the cattle, and
play:ully stamped upon by the horses
and colts. Give them their own partic-
ular domain.
As corn cannot properly be given in
very large proportion in the milk ration
it would be profitable to exchange a ton
of core for ton of roller bran. If corn
is to be fed to sheep, separately from the
fodder, as sheep masticate more per-
fect,y than cattle. 1t would be better To
feed sheIled corn with bran. But fol-
horses and cattle, corn should be
ground and mixed with the coarse fod-
der.
AS far as chemistry can decide, the
mineral ingredients of straw undergo
no change by long or short contact with
animal excrement. The rottiDg straw
may, and probably does, absorb addi-
tional nitrogen, chlorine, and Other
volatile manural elements. either from
the air, or from the manure in contact
with it, and thus increase in value
The manurial elements of the straw it
self cannot be changed
One hog, kept to the age OF one year,
il furnished with suitable material, will
convert a cartload per month into q
fertilizer which will produce a good
crop of corn. Twelve loads per year
multiplied by the number of hogs usu-
ally kept by our farmers would make
sufficient f,Ttilizing substance 10 grow
the corn used uy them; or. in other
words, the hog would pay in manure its
keeping. In this way We can afford to
make PORK at low prices, but in no
other way can it be done without loss 10

Forgot He Was Married.

A young man, who until recently had
lived at the house of his father, married
a few weeks ago and went to live in
other apartments. Soon after, at the
end of his days work, he left the office,
bought an evening paper and climbed
the hill! to lis fathers house. Entering
the familiar precincts, he went to the
wash.room, made his toilet and present
ed himself at the table. The family,
who had been watching him curiously,
eyed him with amazement. and at last
his mother softly inquired Robert,
have you already procured divorce ?''
A flush suffused the young mans face,
which rapidly changed to crimson.
Leaving the table amid roar of laugh
ter, he hurried out and walked rapidly
to his own abode where his young wife
was impatiently and anxiously awaiting
him. He had forgotten that he was
married.

How Type is Made.

1t takes great deal of work TO make
type. Every letter has to be handled
by five persons after it is cast. The
first thing done is cutting the letter on
the end of fine piece of steel, forming
punch. The punch is driven into q
piece of polished copper, which makes
the mstrlx. The matrix of the face of
the letter and the mold for the body or
type are put into type casting machines,
fed with melted metal, and the letters
turned out one at time, dropping from
the machine like the ticking of watch.
n great deal OF work is required in fin
ishlug the type, and when at last they
are apparently all right, each letter is
examined under q microscope, and the
defective oLes are rejected.

A Sunshiny Wife.

What blessing to a household is
merry, cheerful woman-one whose
spirits are not affected by wet days or
little disappointments, or whose milk of
human kindness does not sour in the
sunshine of prosperity. Such a woman
in the darkest hours brightens the house
like little piece of sunshiny weather.
The magnetism Of her smiles, and the
electrical brightness of her looks and
movements infect every one. The chill
dreu go to school with a sense of some
thing great to be achieved her husband
goes into the world in a conuueIor;s
spirit. No matter how people annoy
and worry him al day, afar off her
pressuce shines and he whispers to
himself: 'At home 1 shall find rest. -
So. day by day. she literally renews his
strength and energy and if you know
a man with beamipg face, kind heart
and a prosperous business, in nine cases
out of ten you will find that he has a
wife of this kind.

Women i'm Dakota.

1t is very common to find a lone and
unprotected female ''holdiDg down a
claim" as the Western phrase runs.
The women of the East wonId look
aghast at the prospect OF living alone in
sod house for six months, miles from
the nearest neighbor. Yet experience
proves that the unprotected is much
safer out on the lonely prairie than she
would be n New York City. never
heard or read OF a woman on a home
stead receiving an insult at the handsof
anybody. To be sure. they are always
armed, and know how to handle pistol.
but they rarely have a more deadly use
for 1t than the killing of jack rabbit
or prairie dog. Such women complain
more OF loneliness than fear. For what
ever charms solitude may have for the
sage, it certainly has none for the fair
sex, not even for our hardy Western re-
representatives. OF it. Here is one of their
ingenious ways OF ayoiding'it: Two of

Viding line, so that while each house is

tuIss are practically one for the ladies'
to call on each other and discuss social
topics. They are all provided with DO
MES, and think nothing of horseback

for business or pleasure.

New Sugar Refining Process,

A queer story of an alleged wonderful dis covery by an American inventor and tho practical application of it in Great Britain comes from Scotch newspaper, which vouches for its truthfulness. The discovery is of a process for refining sugar by cleo tricity, and the inventor was Professor Henry Friend, of New York, whose death occurred it is said, last March. He was so secretive, it is said, that he repelled all at tempts to facilitate the working of his pro- cess by keeping the management of the ma chinery in his own hands, and he was so fearful that his secret would be discovered that he sent the machinery to Scotland piece meal from different parts of this country He gave years of labor and investigation to the process, it is said, and only his wife was in itiated into his secret. At his private work ing room he posted a notice that 1t was death for any one to cross the threshold, and when he died his secret would have been lost had not those interested in his scheme insisted that he should make a written record of his experiments for use ill such a contingency.
 No details of the new process are given, but it is declared that it renders the boiling of sugar no longer necessary, and thus saves much that is now wasted. The raw sugar is put into his machine, and the first batch is converted into refined product in four hours After that the process is continuous, the ma- chine working as long as raw sugar is SUD- piled, and turning it into refined sugar in an hour and three-quarters from the time it is put in. Ninety-nine per cent. of the saccha- rine matter in the raw sugar is secured, it is asserted, and the total cost is only about eighty cents a ton.
 The right to use the process has, it is al legged, passed into the hands of a firm of Liverpool merchants, and startling changes ill the sugar business in the near future are promised.-New York Sun

BUTLER WHERE HE BELONGS.

General Butler, like the prodigal son has returned, after his years of wandering, to the fold where he truly and properly be longs While the lamp holds out to burn the vilest sinner may return," and Ben, finding that he had been wasting his sweet ness on the desert air and that no party this year was so poor as to do him honor, folded his tent and stole back into the party where all his tastes lie and whose work he has been doing outside the ranks for some years He has come out openly for Harrison and Morton-taken the stump for them-and that high tax system which, as he candidly stated some time ago, has into his private pocket where he takes good care they shall remain.
 Ben is protectionist for revenue only, and good deal of the revenue he gets His interest in the wage-earners is q selfish one, and is measured by the fat he is able to fry out of them. He has admitted publicly that he never said that protection was for the benefit of the workingman' and his whole course has been a proof that he believes it. Ben Butler never yet did an unselfsh, disinterested act for the workingman, and he never will. Cold, crafty, cunning, captious and cynical, Ben Butler is wrapped up in himself, and his whole public life is proof that self is the deity at whose shrine he worships.
 His interest in Harrison and Morton is his interest in protection. and his interest in protection is his interest in his own pocket. His speeches in the west this week will make votes for Cleveland-the wolk ing people have learned, by a sad but eventful experience, that their interests lie just where Ben Buffers don't. That the republican managers have put him where they think he can do the least harm to them shows that they have taken the measure of the man and his capacity further to cajole the working people.
 Ben Butler is where he belongs. The republicans are welcome to him, and much good may he do them.

THE DAYS OF ROORBACKS.

These are the days when voters should beware of roorbacks, rumors and reports of all kinds. It is a favorite trick with the republican managers to spring wild canards at the eleventh hour, and if rumor lieth not they have a rich stock in store for the closing days of this campaign. One of them is said to be report of MT Thurman's death on the morning of cleo ton day. Another is the publication of forged testimonials from the Golden club forwarded to President Cleveland in ac- acknowledgement of his course on the tariff question. This is in line with the West letter and the forged extracts from British papers that have been so industriously circulated during this campaign of ed ucation."
 These and other canards may be expected before the vote is in next Tuesday. The re- publicans are in desperate straits, and will do anything to stem the tide that is setting against them. Voters should be on their guard for roorbacks in these final days of the campaign and pay no attention to them. The issue has been made, and no eleventh hour rumors or reports should be allowed
