How Wood Pulp is Produced.

The process of producing wool pulp is
simple and interesting. Log, chiefly of
poplar and fir, about six feet in length
and from twelve to eighteen inches in
diameter, are foated from reservoir
above the mill to a seed-feeding endless
chain, which catches up and carries
them to an upper floor, where they are
received by gang of hands, subjected
to circular saw, and cut into lengths of
eighteen inches. Another gang then
places them in barking machine, which
cleans the bark off thorough. They are
then split into pieces about the size of
large stove wood, and then passed down
to lower floor, placed in boxes connect
ed with hollow cylinders, revolving with
wonderful velocity, and by mechanical
process, not visible to the eye, ground
into impalpable wood flour or dust.
This falls into tanks of water beneath
the cylinders, when it is pumped back to
the upper floor and into shallow watts,
where, after being strained and manip-
ulated through a series of rollers, 1t
passes out and is delivered in large
sheets upon broad incline shelf, where
an operator stands ready to receive 1t.
The sheets are about one-eighth OF an
inch thick, and about as long and wide
as large-sized daily paper opened wide.
This material, called pulp, is quite
tough apd of a creamy color. The oper-
ator on receiving sheet folds it up
number of times. These folds are then
piled into bales and corded tightly and
are then ready for shipment. Letter to
Washington Star.

A blind horse now living, will not al
low the approach of any stranger with
out showing signs of anger not safely to
be disregarded. The distinction is evi-
IDENTIFY made by his sense of smell, and
at considerable distance. Blind hor-
ses, as q rule, will gallop wildly about
q pasture without striking the surround
ing. The sense of smell informs them
of its proximity. Others will, when
loosened from the stable go directly to
the gate or bars opened to their accus-
toned feeding grounds. and when desir
ing to return, after hours of careless
wandering, will distinguish the one out
let and patiently await its opening. The
odor of that particular part of the fence
is their pilot to it.
The horse in browsing, or while gath
ering herbage with his lips is guided in
its choice of proper food by its nostrils.
Blind horses dc not make mistakes in
their diet. In the temple of Olympus
8 bronze horse was exhibited. at the
sight OF which six real horses expert
enced the most violent emotions. Aelian
judioiciously observed that the most per-
feet art could not initiate nature sufi-
GENTLY well to produce so strong an il
lusion. Like Pliny and Pausanius, he
consequently affiirms that in casting the
statue a magician had thrown Hippo
names upon it, which by the odor of
the plant deceived the horses, and there
in we have the secret of the miracle.
The scent alone of buffalo robe will
cause many horses to evince lively ter
ror, and the floating scent of railroad
train will frighten some long after the
locomotive is out of sight and hearing.

LIFE IN DEATH.
BY DORA READ GooDALE.

BY DORA READ GooDALE.
By borders deep in mint and clover
walked the grayeyard's lonely square,
Whose grassy mounds, all blossomed over,
Lie basking in the sunny air;
Through all the hazy August weather
Their silent nants sleep beneath,
Where youth and age in dust together
Are equal heirs of Death.
Vain record now of love and pleasure,
OF mirth and beauty, born to die;
The sunken stones, in mourning measure,
Bespeak sorrow long run dry,
Like dusty letters, quaint of fashion,
Some old forgotten chest displays,
Whose yellowing leaves yield up their passion
In many courly phrase.
The maid With every grace upon her
Has slipped the arms that held her fast,
- To share alska With shame and honor
The sweet oblivion of the past.
Not one of all the loved and loving
Who watched about her shining head,
Returns at nightfall, darlly moving
To dream above the dead
Yet warmth and faith and youths emotion
Our dusty paths with fragrance fill;
That girlish lot of bright devotion
In silent teaching quickens still.
Beyond the ranks of mint and clover,
The lonely graveyard's shady square,
Her influence moves a gray-haired lover,
Unguessed, immortal there

Hid 1t Well.

A gentleman told me of strange ex-
perience related by q friend of his. II
was during the battle OF Gettysburg
that his friend, Just before entering the
action, took his canteen from his shoul-
der and hid it in crevice in the rock.
Then came that fiery hail of shot and
she'll that swept down regiments like
fields of wheat before the reaper. At
the close of the battle the soldier forgot
all about his canteen, nor did it ever oc-
cur to him again until he visited the
field at the late reunion. Then it
flashed through his mind, and after a
few minutes search he found it where
he had left it on that momentous day.
It seems hardly creditable that it could
have been overlooked during the minute
exploration of the field ever since the
war, but the gentleman who related the
Incident is of unimpeacbable veraeity.

They found my vagrant heart grown tame
To your sweet spell;
Forgetful quite
OF all its former fret for flight,

And yet when Autumn days dreamed deep
OF some dread portent, aud asleep,
Did sigh apace,
My heart cleaned not
Strange fears and fed. 1t loved the

Where you had place.
So when the Winter-days awake
TO find a ravished world, aud make
Sad moan, sad moan,
My heart will sing,
For where you are is always Spring

Some German Traditions.

y" " DSC
The Germans, as a class, are the most
enlightened people living. NOtwith-
standing this fact, however, there are
many who still hold to many of the old
traditions and signs of the superstitious
days of the early German empire.
My father, who owns a large farm in
the west, has for many years been in the
habit OF employing Germans to work
his land. They prove themselves to be
good, industrious and reliable men ,
working for the interest OF their en-
plOyer. 1t was from one OF these "hired
men" that ] learned OF many of the old
German fables and traditions.
One day there came to our town a
French conjurer, we'll versed in many
straightforward performances and in the
art Of iugglery. AS it promised to be
a fairly good show, I thought 1 would
attend. The next day l expressed a
wish that | could see how 1t was posi-
BILE for a man to accomplish such Won
derful tricks before a large, intelligent
audience and not be detected.
After a while the ''hired man" said:
MY brother once told me how I could
clearly see through all Of those tricks,
but l dare not tell it to anyone
older than myself or the charm
would be broken" l thanked my
lucky stars that I was younger Than
he and | asked him to be kind enough
to divulge to me the secret by which
the %cOnjurer's tricks would all appear as
plain as day. well, if you will prom
Use never to tell it to anyone older than
yourself, | will" OF course I promised,
and he continued: in the first place,
you must catch a bat; just a common
red bat, and be very careful not to in
jure it in any way until you are ready
to kill 1T: then strangle it. No other
mode OF killing will answer. After life
IS extinct, carefully disect it and pro-
cured it's heart
The heart must be thoroughly dried
before a fire of seasoned hickory wood.
After it is perfectly dried and cleaned,
you must string 1T upon u silken cord of
reddish hue. The cord must be long
enough to wear around the neck and
reach to the vest pocket. When the
conjurer comes upon the stage before
you, take from your pocket the heart,
and hold it in the palm Of your right
hand and repeat the words, 'Queba
mena ecta polka when everything will
appear to you as plainly as itdoes to the
conjurer."

old heirloom which had been handed

Especial Correspondence OF THE BEE
-Trudging over the Lisburn road into

est impelled me to a stroll upon Queens
bridge. Standing above its broad arches
and peering down the river Lagan
across the crowded shipping to where
the noble Belfast Tough, or Carrick-
fergus bay, beyond, shone blue and brill
liant between rigging, masts and lazily-
tapping sails, l deserted several little
craft, no larger than ordinary fishing
smacks. My curiosity led me down
along the wharves to these. l found
among them ONE tiny coasters from far
Donegal away over on the western Irish
shore; and within a half an hour l had
made the acquaintance Of the man
crew Of one; struck a bargain with them
for a trip to their home port; and was
sailing out to the Irish sea; as dusty
