Paper to Wrap Turkeys In.

ssI deal almost entirely in grocers' brown paper" said a Duane street paper merchant te' the ubiquitous reporter. s'Most of the paper mills are situated in the New England states, but great quantity of paper is manufac- tured throughout New York state, especially along the eastern border"
 ssWhat is the paper made out ofg' queried the reporter.
 s'Straw and water. Almost any kind of straw will answer, and I think that corn stalks have also been pressed into service, although the paper made from this material was inferior in quality. Flail threshed wheat or rye straw, well bound, is preferred In the manufacture of paper the straw is un- bound and laid closely in hugs vats Lime is sprinkled over every layer, and when the vats are full, lime water is thrown over the whole. Steam is then turned on at the bot tom of the vats, and the straw is allowed to cook until it is thoroughly purified. It is then passed through large revolving washer and cleansed from the lime and other impuri. ties. The straw, or what is left of it, is next passed through grinders, which reduce it to 2. pulp, when it is let down into large tank under the floor.
 'sThe pulp is now pumped up, and is ready to pass over the machine. It is first thinned with water, if the paper is intended to be uglC, ana then IS UrdnSIorT0u to the 'ITSU IelU by means of revolving wire cylinder"
 "What do you mean by the first felts' /"
 ssOh it's the finest kind of a woolen felting which carries the pulp through any number of rollers. From the first felt it is trans ferred to the second and third felts, each of which is coarser than the first By the time the pulp has passed over the third felt the water is pretty well squeezed out of it, and the damp paper is able to support it's own weight as it passes over space of about three feet to the dryers These are big, hol- low iron cylinders five feet in diameter and heated by steam. They are usually seven in number, ant by the time the damp paper passes over them and through a set of smoothing calendars, it is thoroughly dry and is then wound up on reels.
 'sIt is now in one long sheet about four and half or five feet wide. The paper on four and sometimes five reels is unreeled and cut and counted. Finishers then take the paper, fold and tie it. After being tied up into bundles it is pressed, and is then ready for the market "-New York Press.

A SERIOUS EXPLOSION.

Theodore DaytOn's Thumb and Finger
 Blown Away by Dynamite Cartridge.
 Theodore Dayton, aged 23 years, who re- sides with his father, John Dayton of Bucks Hill, was seriously injured last night by the explosion of 8 dynamite cartridge Dayton, who has always been weak-mind- ed, in some way obtained 8 cartridge yes terday afternoon and took it to his room Shortly afterward the family were aroused by stunning report, and on going into his room found him lying on the floor, his face horribly bruised and the thumb and index finger of the left hand completely blown off at the seco1H joint. Dr Holmes was called and found it necessary to amputate the thumb and finger Dayton showed considerable pluck, endur- ing the operation without taking anas- thetics, and seemingly not to mind what had occurred His father recently pur chased a lot of land covered with stones and used dynamite cartridges to blast the rocks and his son appropriated one of them without the family knowing it. This after noon the young man was resting very com fortably.

The Latest Conceits In Pins Of All Sorts and

they are not so large or so conspic-
uous, and are more often single en-

nots, or the lily of the valley. Single
daisies, single pansies and passion
flowers, enameled in the natural colors
of the flower and often sparkling with
diamond dew-drop, or glowing at the
heart with diamond center, are very
popular.
The very newest pins, however. are
tiny circlets or plaques Of white enamel
set with diamonds or Arizona garnets,
beautiful red stones which glow like
Goals of fire at night and look like
rubies in the day time, without any Of
the purplish tint of the ordinary

Small pins, used for cuff-pins, or on
the bonnet strings, or to catch the lace
at the throat, are set with these gar

or with tiny jeweled butterflies and
other insects. When used for cuff.
pins they are not chosen in matching
pairs, but in odd pins near the same

Ladies' watches are about the same

more popular than the closed

WILD GRAPES.

Look where you step on this crumbling wall,
wonder Il little it stands ct all:
You may not know, but could tell
OF blithe young faces knew so well,
And eager tripping, buoyant feet
That have climbed this wall, once snug and
neat
To gather the fruit by frost made sweet
You may not know of the path that led
Out through The orchard, blushing red
With its generous weight of autumn fruit
AL kinds all hues, all tastes 20 suit;
We came the very same old way,
Save that the grass grows thick to-day
Ger paths where the children used to play.
Are they there-the grapes? Toss down stem
/ remember well the taste OF them
Perhaps the frost has lost its power,
For years ago they were not so sour.
What's that you say: The taste of youth
Has gone and the famed sweet tooth
OF age is mine: 1t may be the truth
To stand once more in that merry throng,
That beats the winds back with laugh and song;
To watch with delight the yellow leaves
That drifted slowly across the caves;
To fear no touch OF frost or cold;
To dread no winter that ever rolled
Across the blue OF a summer sky,
Or dimmed the autumns pageantry;
To Chamber with sure and fearless feet
For the frost-cured grapes-and find them
sweet;
To own the heart of the careless child,
By joys SO simple and pure beguiled,
What that the world calls joys. of mine,
Would not cheerfully resign:

SHE DIDN'T SCARE.
How . Volunteer Tramp Was Laid Low BY
His Friends Wife.

His Friends Wife.
"Say, fellers," he remarked to q
crowd in a grocery the other evening,
II know how we can have some fun. ="
Several parties asked him to explain.
and he said:
my wife is always telling how
brave she is, and what she'd do in an
emergency, and want to take her
down peg. believe she'd scare like
cat. Iwant one of you to go to the
back door and be ugly and sassy and
demand supper, and see if she won't
fly out of the front"
One of the crowd said he'd cheer
fully go. and go he did, while the
others posted themselves in front. By
and by a woman came TO the door,
looked up and down and said to a boy
who was passing:
"Bubby. won't you go over to the
store and tell my husband to come
oyer?"
"Yes'm."
Needn't hurry any, but just drop
in If it's convenient"
When the crowd came over they
found the volunteer lying on his back
in the rear yard, unconscious and his
nose broken, and the wife said:
He wanted supper and was ugly
about it, aud so laid him out with a
fiat-iron."
And an hour later, when the poor
man felt of his nose and wanted to
know who was to pay damages, echo
sadly answered "who?"-Detroit FYee

e%If the time ever comes in the
history of this Nation when the fame

p@The people who are in doubt as
to the benefcent advantages of pro-

in they were in error. Mills in this

l~Those Democratic officials who
fancy that they can not be removed
until the expiration Of a four-years'
term of service are consoling them
selves with an illusion. The Tenure
of-Office act was repealed some time
ago. with President Cleveland's official
approval, and General Harrison can
therefore make removals as rapidly as
he pleases. Chicago Tribune.
H@President Cleveland, like many
another man whom the world in its ir-
reverence is wont to call pig-headed,
seems to believe that blunder well
stuck to is somewhat justified, if not
rectifed. As for the Republicans,
they will view with perfect equanimity
the further decentralization of the De-
mocracy which President Cleveland's
message is sure to involve.-Ml-

that time may not arrive much before

Having worked year and lived
year in Russia, Germany, France, En-
gland and the United States, how
many days work has the workman
left? In the United States. SO; in En-
gland. 40; in France, 9; in Germany
he is in debt days; in Russia, Is.
This is made up by the work of the fe-
male members of the family. In other
words, after paying rent and taxes and
purchasing food and clothing the
American workman has S175 left for
luxuries and to save for old age. the
Englishman $50, and the Frenchman
81, while it would be, if not for their
wives, $3.50 and s. respectively in the
Russians and Germans pockets if they
had not lived ut all.
And the only answer to these as
founding facts is that Russia, France
and Germany are protective countries,
and England is free trade, and wages
in England are higher than in the pro-
lection countries. Well, what of that?
Protection merely gives the opportu-
nity-brings about the condition. A
man may own flock of sheep. The
first thing he does is to protect them
from wolves. If the wolves get in
they will devour the sheep anyhow.
That is certain. But keeping the
wolves out, though essential to the pres
ervation of the sheep. will not fatten
the flock? So it is with Russia and
Germany. They have tariff. but
the internal economies of Russia de-
mand that each workman shall give
ninety-two days work out of three
hundred to support royalty and the
army and navy. In the United States
the workman gives but two and one
half days. work year for the army
and navy, and the remaining days go
mostly for education and civilization.
It is right to expect the tariff to per-
form a double tunction-namely, to
keep out the wolves and fatten the
sheep at the same time?-N Y. Press.

POOR Arithmetic.
The Silliest of All the Silly Profess
Ever Made by Cleveland.

The Silliest of All the silly Professions
Ever Made by Cleveland.
President Cleveland informs Con-
gress. on the authority of the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury, that during the
year past the Secretary of the Treas
ury has purchased bonds amounting to
$a4, 700, 400, paying premium thereon
amounting to$17, 508,6l He says that
the Government will save by this
transaction per cent. per annum, but
he deplores the necessity Of making
this saving, because, as he reasons, If
the money had been left in the hands
of the people it would have been
worth in their business at least per
cent. per anuum. The difference be-
tween the per cent. which the people
might have made with the 1914, DOC, 900
used for debt payment and the 2per
cent. which they saved by having the
debt paid, estimated for the time the
bonds had to run, makes total loss to
the people, as he thinks, Of $55, 760. COZ.
This is very sad. indeed. The Pres
ident pursues this calculation, and
finds that if the Government is forced
to continue this policy Of purchasing
its own bonds at premium the loss to-
the people will be hundreds of millions
Of dollars. The estimated loss is based
not on the fact that the bonds bear a
premium, but that the interest saved
is less than per cent. If the bonds
were due and bearing no interest it is
clear that if they were paid the peoples
loss on this same reasoning would
be all of per cent. because Offset
by no saving of interest on the part of
the Government. The President seems
to have the idea that money paid for
bonds is thrown away or locked up in a
chest somewhere instead of being re-
turned into the channels of trade. Ac-
cording to his arithmetic the net loss
to the people by the gradual extinction
of the National debt must be something
enormous, because the amount saved
by the Government is less than the
same money would realize in business.
As, however, that money is in business
and is free to realize as much interest
as if it had never passed through the
Treasury it viii be seen that the great
loss suffered by the people by the debt
exists wholly in President Cleveland's
unillumined Imagination.
The Government takes money away
from business only when it holds on to
it. When it takes it simply to pay it
out again for its bonds or for other
purposes the money is transferred
from one set of owners to another, but
it is as free to earn six per cent. in
terest for its new owners as it was for
its old. This is so elementary and
obvious that lad of ten, if fairly in
:elligent, ough. not to blunder over It

THE WAGE QUESTION.
The Purpose of Protection and Its Effect

The Purpose of Protection and Its Effect
Upon the working-Man.
All comparisons of wages are more
or less misleading. The question
really is: How much better off is q
working-man after years labor in
this country than he is in European
countries? The free-trader tries to
make out that the cost of living Is
more here. According to MulhalI,
the English statistician, the average
daily wages, outside of those engaged
in agriculture in the United States, is
$3.50. in England SLIP. in France 81
cents, in Germany ga cents, and in
Russia Sc cents. The real test of the
condition of labor is not the actual
money received so much as the actual
number of days work necessary to
pay rent and taxes and buy food and
clothing. Here we have it:

The Farmers and Protection.

The more bitter of the pronounced
free-trade organs are abusing the
farmers of the Nation because they
adhered to protection. They are
charged with being "slow" and unin-
telligent, and so on. Their general
charge is, in effect, that the farmer is
such large-sized ninny that he doesn't
know in which direction his own in
terests lie and needs instructions as to
the particular side on which his bread
is buttered. The idea is absurd. The
farmers. as class, are probably the
most intelligent of the community.
But then the man against whom the
jury decides the case always does think
that the twelve good men and true
