1eurinrs of compressed Pager.

Experiments are being made on Prussian
railways with axle boxes fitted with bear
ings Of vegetable parchment in place of
brass. The parchment is strongly COM
pressed before being used, and it is thor
oughly dried to prevent subsequent
shrinkage. Wooden rings are plnccd on
the outside of the bearings, fitting the
collars of the journal. An emulsion OF
water and oil and all the mineral oils are
used as lubricants. The parchment soon
becomes imprcgnated with Oil, and is able
to 20 q long time without q renewal of
lubrication. 1t is between the body of the
journal and the thin edge of the parch.

rhe claim is made that these compressed
paper bearings make q tough material
that is superior to metal. Such bearings
are also in use in n German saw mill with
satisfactory opcration.-Public Opinion.

An Old Gau,o Revived.

Fakirs have revived IN old scheme in
Brooklyn for fleeing householders out of
few dollars. The scheme is to visit
from door to door with big picture and
to offer the picture for sale on the plea
that the peddler,, is IN artist in hard luck.
The picture is daub and the frame is
snowy and flimsy. 1t is artfully covered
with paper in order that the swindlcr may
tell pitiful story of hard times with a
big family to support, and the struggles
of q poor artist with an unapprcciative
world. In visiting that house, the fakir
continues, he is sure he has found re-
fined family capable of understanding the
excellence Of his work. The mistress Of
the house too often does not see through
him. II. times his appearance at the door
at an hour when the husband is at his
place Of business. Having enlisted the
woman's sympathics with his pattcr the
paper is taken from the picture and offered
for "enything the Lady may choose to Of
fer" Anything" is too much for it, but
often he gers several dollars. Then he
goes off to his headquarters, and getting
another painting" works the game some

must confess, though, that I am ashamed

why did lie lock himself in, in that room

q time, if there was nothing up thero that
he wanted to conceal?
June 25.-I think shall burn my
diary, after MI, for the secret of the locked
room was revealed today, and Lfeel more
guilty than ever.
1t is Nine. de Viana's birthday, and her
husband has given her such an exquisite
present-a folding screen, painted with
figures of the seasons on a gold ground.
He painted it himself, being q very ac-
complished artist, and as he intended it
for q birthday surprise he would allow no
one to sec it.
"Ah, Nellie" he said, after listening to
her admiration and enthusiastic praises of
his gift for while, "when thought that
was going to lose you used to shut my
self up and work very, very hard, to per-
suade myself that my present would one
day be offered after all. And you see l
was right for here you arc getting well
as fast as possible. But do you perceive
any disagreeable odor about the screen9 I
tried n new yarnish that was recon-
mendcd to me for the last leaf finished,
and it was just dreadful-the smell of it
was almost enough to poison me. That
day had to give up my painting and 60
out into the'open air for over two hours to
get rid of the headache that horrid smell
gave me.
July 1G.-The count and countess start
for Lucerne thi; evening. The latter is
so nearly well that she no longer needs
my services. ty engagement is at an
end. So am inst closing up my diary
before packing it away with all the
presents that Nine. de Viana has lay-
ished upon mt. I wonder if had not
better burn it?, But OH second thoughts
decide to keep it after all. I was very
foolish and made great mistake, it is

Menaced by Money Lenders.

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 8. Considerable
interest has been aroused by some stats
s:ticts which have been collected, showing
. that Southern and Western land are fast
passing into the hands Of foreign and
Eastern money lenders. In Georgia
these companies have placed many mil
lions of dollars, hold mortgages on the
finest farm lands in the State. The
Interest paid by the farmer amounts to
twelve per cent.
Capital of this kind is still being pour.
ed into the South, Notwithstanding the
fact that Judge speer, of the United
States Court, has decided such interest
susurious and the loans accordingly for.
fsited.
The syndicates are principally formed
sof English and Scotch capitalists, and
I they have such 8 hold in the South that
s;they hope to reverse Judge speer's deci-
sion. The borrowers have allowed their
interest payments to lapse, hoping that
Judge speer's decision will be sustained
! and that they will not be forced to pay
9sither principal or interest.
:If Judge speer's decision is not aus.
tained d great many Georgia farms will
20 into the hands Of the mortgages, as
the farmers cannot possibly pay the
interest which has lapsed upon them. :
In the Southwest there is perhaps not
less than 500, 100000 invested in this
way. In Kansas alone over $40, 100000
has been placed, while the money syn:
dicates have their local agents in every
county seeking farmers in need Of loans
and placing mortgages on their land.
Each year adds many millions to the
capital placed in this section, for which
mortgages which are not likely to be
! raised are given to foreign capitalists.

WHAT IS IT WORTH

The love that we boasted of-what IS 1t worth,
Now that its glamour is faded and gone?
It has gone the same way Others have on the
earth,
When nothing was left for its fire to feed ON.
It is gone, and no trace but the ashes remain
The love far surprising all others, you said.
What do we care for the anguish and pain,
Now that the love that begot them is dead?
It is dead. and IS buried breast deep from our
sight,
And if ever its shadow should fall on your way,
It is only its ghost-do not give it thought,
Let it lie even up to tho breast hid away.
It is only the ghost of a fancicd ideal;
And ghosts cannot harm-ah, why do you
start2
It is only a fancy, you say, but you feel
It's gaunt fingers tearing away at your heart.
1t is gone, and we o'en have forgotten its name
Deep down in the heart let its memory lie;
Perhaps it was both, perhaps neither to blame
We care not, so long as the dream has gone by.
We care not, now freed from the glamour 1t gave
The while unto everything on the wide earth
So that it is dead, and secure in its grave,
What is the past and its follics all worth?

our ucnlt,,v Lovo of Fighting.

The stalwart Urchin who liked "the
f]chtingest parts'' of the Bible had sound
taste; the easiest passages of Scott to re-
call at will are the tourney i'll ''1vanhoe, +"
the man to man encounter in ''Thc Tails
man, and the altogether Incompatible
hattie of the clansmcn in "The Fair Maid
of Perth" when the Cow Chrom fought
for his own hand.
The healthy love of fighting which wc
have come by honestly from our Morse
ancestors has done not Il little for the Sic
cess of Mr. Haggard's somewhat sanguin-
ary tales. And, perhaps, tie popularity
of orom Browns Schooldays'' was helped
by that never to he forgotten fight be-
