How Paper Bottles Are Made.

One of the most interesting of the
many uses to which paper has been put
is the manufacture of paper bottles.
We have long ago had paper boxes,
barrels and car wheels, and more re-
Gently paper pals, wash-basins and
other vessels; but now comes further
evolution of paper in the shape of
paper bottles, which are already quite
extensively used for containing such
substances as ink, bluing, shoe-dress-
ing, glue. ETC., and they would seem to
be equally well adapted for containing
a large variety of articles. They are
made by rolling glued sheets OF paper
into long cylinders, which are then cut
into suitable lengths, tops and bottoms
are fitted in, the inside coated with a
waterproof compound, and all this
done by machinery almost as quickly
as ono can ce.--t.- Pail Mall Gazette

A Most Emphatic Refusal

A fast young man decided to make
to young lady formal offer of his
hand and heart-all he was worth
hoping for cordial reception. He
cautiously prefaced his declarations
with few questions, for he had no in
tention of throwing himself away"
Did she love him well enough to live in
a cottage with him? Was she a good
cook? Did she think it wife's duty
to make home happy? Would she
consult his tastes and wishes concern
ing her associates and pursuits in life?
Was she economical? Could she make
her own clothes, etc? The young lady
said that before she answered his ques-
tions she would assure him of some
negative virtues she possessed. She
never drank, smoked Or chewed; never
owed bill to her laundress or tailor;
never stayed out all night playing bill
liards; never lounged ON the street
corners and ogled giddy girls; never
''stood in with the boys for cigars and
wine suppers. Now. said she, rising
Indignantly, 81 am assured, by those
who know, that you do all these things,
| and it is rather absurd for you TO ex-
pect all the virtues in me, while you
do not possess any yourself. l can
never be your wife," and she bowed
him out and left him on the cold door

He's owner of a fishing feet that goes

the richest man in Fairbay, and lives
in the finest house. It's twelve years

This ballot is printed on the inside
pages of folded sheet, so that when
the voter has marked the names as
above indicated the ballot is folded up
and is so passed in to be deposited in
the ballot-box There are many pro-
visions of the law to adapt the ma
chinery of voting to this system, but it
is not necessary to mention them here.
What has been said is enough to show
how men will vote, and that is, for the
general public, the important thing.
Now what will be gained by this
change of system, in the interest of
purity of elections and good politics?
Many things. First, there can be no
ballot-box stuffing, since each voter
will receive only one ballot, and that
one will be numbered.
Secondly, the ballot will be really
secret, as it ought to be, and every
voter will be free from intimidation.
Again. each voter will be secured
against the fraud of forged and pur-
posely incorrect ballots, and a heavy
blow will be dealt to the practice OF
trading off one part of the ticket
against another, which is one of the
worst forms of electoral corruption by
party "workers."
Once more, the corruption of ballot.
distributors and workers at the polls
will be destroyed completely, and mer
may hope to vote freely and in peace

SYNDICATE DEFINED.

A Missouri Mans Explanations to an In
quisitive Stranger.
A Lincoln man who has just returned
from an extended tour of the country,
recently struck small town in Mis-
souri,, where the shanties composing
the metropolis were surrounded by
numerous acres of land staked off in lots.
Before one of the magnificent trade
emporiums sat an old man smoking a
corn-cob pipe and apparently plunged
in mediation. The Lincoln man as
sumed an air of profound innocence
and accosted him, when this dialogue
ensued:
.sWhat are these stakes here for?"
1.-TWO lots, stranger. This hyar
town is just er goin' to have boom.
An operyhouse will be built thar, ef
nothing happens.
"Who owns this property"
IA syndicut. Ye won't see airy flies
on this town.
..What is syndicatep"
'sWhy, We see syndicut is er lot OF
| .ellers in ther city what has money,
and they sorter get together and buy
up a farm, and they stake it off, We see,
an start boom. That thar land was
ther Widder Mcguire farm, but ther
syndicut bought it and staked 1t on. !.
Sand how does the syndicate do its
booming?'
"Wal, one feller in the syndicut gets
control of it all, ye see, and he sells a
lot to another feller, and it goes round,
and round, and every timeit goes round
the price is riz.
"But then it would never be sold OF
of that body"
1T wouldn't, eh? Stranger, yer
wrong. Finillay er lot is sold to some
outside feller, and then its deddycated,
We see an don't go round no more.
Thanks; now know all about IT.

BALLOT REFORM.
The System of Voting Adopted by the State
of Massachusetts,.

Probably not one in a hundred OF
readers ever had an opportunity to OBJ
serve an election in which the grossest
forms of corruption and fraud are
practiced. These evils are at the
worst in the slums of great cities.
A voter approaches the polls through
a throng of rowdy ballot-distributors
and "ward-heelers. He is beset by
these men who offer him ''tickets" ard
follow him up until his vote has been
deposited. In many cases the ballots
they offer are fraudulent. For while
Republican Ticket or Democratic
Ticket is conspicuously printed upon
the ballot, one or more names, perhaps
all the names, are different from those
of the actual candidates, and a person
casting one of these ballots votes for
men whom he does not wish to be
elected.
This is only one of the several evils
which have led to an agitation in favor
of the 'tAustralian system of voting,
which, with notifications, is that en-
ployed in England and in Canada. At
least two States of the Union have now
adopted the principle, and laws to
change radically the method of voting
will go into effect as soon as the neces-
sary arrangements can be made.
The principle is, after all, a very
simple one. All the ballots are printed
not by parties, but by the State, and
they are all alike. Each ballot con
tains the names of all candidates nom
mated, and the names are arranged il
alphabetical order. In order to vote
for candidate, the person puts cross
opposite that candidates name.
For example, in Massachusetts, tht
Legislature of which State has passed
a law introducing this system, the bal
lot, or part of it. will look something
like this when it is ready to be voted
