Paper Bottles.

One of the most interesting Of the
many uses to which paper has bean put
is the manufacture Of paper bottles.
We have long had paper boxel, barrels,
and car wheels, and moro recently paper
pals; wash basins and other veasel, but
now comes 3 further evolution Of paper
In the shape OF paper bottles, which are
already quite extensively used for con-
tanning such substances a. Ink, bluing,
shoe dressing, glue, &C., and they would
seem to be equally we'll adapted for con.
tanning large variety Of articles.
They sre made BY rolling g., ID sheets
Of paper into long cylinders, which are
then cut into suitable longths, tops and
bottoms are fitted in, the inside coated
with waterproof compound, and all
this done by machinery, almost ss quick.
ly as one can count
They are cheaper and lighter than
glass, unbreakabls, and consequently
very popular with consumers, while the
fact that thoy require no packing materi.
al and are clean, handy and economical,
commends them to manufacturers. Un-
like glass they can bs manufactured and
shipped at al seasons and, being made
by machinery, the supply Is Independent
of LABOR troubles, which are additional
advantages to manufacturers who nse

Soldiers s.Uudsr Fire..

There is nothing to correspond with
the feeling experienced by . soldier
under fire.
Take, for instance, the average man,
the man who Is neither very brave nor a
great coward. In all his life he could
SCARCELY have had any sensation to COM
pare with that Of hearing the ping Of the
first bullet of an approaching fight.
There is q spitefnl sound % the ball
sings by the ear, or splitting sound - 1t
cuts twig above the soldiers head.
Then there is disagreeable searching
sound as the she'll comes In spirals, as If
to twist itself into his yirtals. No man
knows until he has once been under fire
whether he can depend upon himself or
not. With the majority it at once be.
comes struggle between pride, will, q
natural desire to stand up and be man,
and natural temptation to finch.
There is a wonderful readjustment Of
the standing of officers and men in 8
command after the first fight. A number
who have been regarded the best men
lose their high places in tuintling, and
here and there some one Of whom MOTH
ing was expected steps right up to the
front.
Some men who will face any amount
of musketry firing can't stand the sound
of a she'll; and vice versa. It is a mis-
take to suppose that a soldier gets used
to sire" by beiug exposed in number
of battles. With each battle he become
more timid.
Yet veterans are mora to be depended
upon than raw troops. This is partly
because they are better disciplined, part
ly because they have gone through SINH
lar scenes, and partly because they are
more reliant on each other and their
officers.
It is true. men will in measure get
used to fire by being long exposed to it,
as at Vicksburg. There the Union
troops were under continued regular
fire for months. Being for the most part
we'll protected, they soon eaw that the
shells did comparatively lite damage,
and tho projectile which curved in the
air to light among them did not excite
anything like the trepidation similar
irst shot would excite out on an open
field. In other words, they became in
measure accustomed to the bombs.
Bravery, as it is usually understood, is
largely dependent upon physical condi.
tions, and is supposed by some physci.
ians to come from the action of the heart.
1t is said of Napoleon I that under the
most profound excitement, on the eve Of
battle, his pulse never ran above some
forty to fifty beats the minute, whereas the
average pulse of adults is about seventy.
Whether bravery is the result physical
cal condition or no, it is certain that 1t is
much easier for some men to be brave
than others, and many hold that all men
are towards st heart. At any rate Fred
erick the Great once said that man who
has never felt fear has never snuffed
candle with his fingers.

dwellers near tho mountains, never
