How Celluloid is Made.

Most celluloid is made in France,
and this is the process Of manufacture:
A roll of paper is slowly unwound,
and is saturated with a mixture of B
parts of sulphuric acid, which falls on
the paper in a fine spray. This changes
cellulose of the paper into pyroxline
(gun cotton. The excess of acid hav-
ing been expelled by pressure, the pa
per is washed with plenty of water
until all traces of acid have been re-
moved. 1t is then reduced to pulp
and passes on to the bleaching trough.
1t is this gun cotton that gives it its
explosive nature. Most of the water
having been got rid of by means of a
strainer, the pulp is mixed with from
twenty to forty per cent. of its weight
of camphor, and the mixture thor
oughly trituated under mill-stones.
The necessary coloring having been
added in the form of powder, a second
mixture and grinding follows. This
pulp is spread out in thin slabs, which
are squeezed in hydraulic press un-
til they are as dry as chips. Then
they are rolled in heated rollers and
comes out in elastic sheets. They are
from that point worked up into every
conceivable form. You can get Gel
luloid collars, cuffs, hairpins, shirt
fronts, cravats, penholders, brushes,
combs, inkstands, jewelry and every
thing else almost that you can mag
ine.-Ex.

Two WAYS. Choose Which?

There are two usual ways of doing what
Nature sometimes does incompletely, name
ly, to relieve the bowels. One is to swal-
low drastic purgative which evacuates
profusely, abruptly and with pain, the 9TH
er is to take Hostetters Stomach Bitters,
the effect OF which is not violent, but suf1i-
GENTLY thorough, and which does not gripe
the intestines. If the first is selected, the
person employing it need not expect perm
anent benefit, and he cannot hope to escape
the facilitating reaction which leaves the
organs as bad or worse off than before. II,
on the other hand, he resorts to the Bitters
he can rely upon the restoration of regu-
lar habit Of body, consequent upon a re-
newal of healthy tone in the intestinal
canal. Besides BEAUTIFULLY relaxing the
bowels, the Bitters arouses a dormant liv-
err, imrarts a beneficial impetus to the &C
ton OF the kidneys, and counteracts the
early twingcs of rheumatism, a tendency to
govt, and malaria in all its forms.

~ never could endure the sight of
those slippers. and only wore them
once more. A year later. at the re-
quest Of the man who had risked his
life to bring them to me, wore them
the day we were married."
There was q chorus OF thanks as
grandmamma stopped. Then the girls,
seizing upon her, begged that she
would let them dress her In the gown
'just once more" After an instant's
hesitation she consented, and as the
cleaning brocade draped the erect and
shapely figure, they could almost fancy
that her soft curls were only white
with powder, and that the fire of youth
still glowed in her undimmed eyes.
Dolly bent to place a slipper on one
pretty foot, but it was taken out of her
hand, and grandpapa, who had entered
unperceived. knclt before the little
lady with a smile.
"Fairy's slippers" he said. softly.
''How we'll ] remember the first time,

But the girls, laughing incredulously,
bore of their captive. The light passed
from point to point. and glimmcred on
the raftcrs, trunk and cradle as the
lamps were borne down stairs. The
last rays flashed in the eyes of the por-
traits, the uncounted audience. Then
the door was closed, and the garrett,
warm and dusky, sweet with the breath
of herbs, gathering in the memories OF
many lives. was left in silence.

A MOTHERS CALENDAR.

I-SPRING.
New life is stirring In every bough,
And fiutter OF wings Is In the air,
And my eyes with happy tears are dim,
As watch, in the tain old trees cleft hmo
A busy mother bird, that there
Fashions her nest OF moss and hair.
The DAYS 90 by, and the leaves grow green
On the tall old tree where the nest Is made
The mother bird folds her tireless wings,
And my heart as l watch her, sings ant
sings
It's happy song; and is not afraid,
For the sweetest JOY is Joy delayed.
II-SuMMER.
The patient brooding days are DER,
There's a stir OF life In the soft brown nest,
And share II, too the mothers Joy,
When my weak arms hold my tiny boy
And gather him closely TO my breast
When he softly murmurs and sinks TO rest
o. the round green world, and the clear blue
sky,
How fair they are in these sunny days.
New cares may come and fresh demands
On the weary heart, and the feeble hands,
But strength comes, too, and q song OF praise
Goes up with the birds sweet morning lsyA
III-AUTUMN.
Inc lehVes are dying anu turning prOWu,
The red sun peers through the morning mist
And u mist clouds over my boys blue eyes,
That once were clear as tho summer skies.
o, the throbbing pulse in the tiny wrist
And the fever flush on the cheek kissed
Outside in the tree mid the falling leaves,
The mother has taught her brood TO ny;
They must fee away to a warmer CLINE,
From the coming chill OF the winter Tina
The thought holds back my heart-siok cryi
"How can live II my boy must die"
IV-WINTER.
An empty nest on q tossing bough.
When the eddying snow flakes round II
sweep.
And they fall, know, on tiny mound
In corner nook OF the church-yard ground,
Where my baby lies in his last long sleep.
And away to my quiet room l creep
For the heart will ache, and be numb and cold,
Frozen by grief, like earth's hard clay,
Though Our Father careth, and knoweth
best
When each bird must fly from its mothers
nest,
And we know thoy are singing far away
In the golden light OF fairer day

Mrs. O'Leary's Famous Cow

Kicked over lamp and Chicago, the bust
ling young metropolis of the West WIS laid
in ruins. This is a striking illustration of
the old saying that great results have small
beginnings" The neglected cold, the hack
ing cough of to-day, may, few months
hence, develop into that direst Of destroy
ers, Consumption. BE warned in time.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, if
taken in the first stages of this dread dis
case, is a certain cure. 1t is also sover-
eign remedy for asthma, bronchitis, sore
throat, chronic nasal catarrh, and all dis
eases of the respiratory organs.
The cleansing, antisepticy and healing
qualities Of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy are
unequaled.

A WOman's Discovery.

Another wonderful discovery has been
made and that too by lady in this coun-
ty. Disease fastened its clutches upon
her and for seven years she withstood its
severest tests, but her vital organs were
undermined and death seemed imminent.
For three months she coughed necessarily
and could not sleep. She bought of US a
bottle of DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption and was so much relieved
on taking first dose she slept all night and
with one bottle has been miraculously
cured. Her name Is Mrs. Luther Lutz."

How Women Walk.

1t can not be out of place here to
suggest the ACCESSIBILITY of opening
classes where children, girls especially,
might be taught the science of walk
ing. Mothers should DC the natural
teachers, but many who are rigidly
careful in all other particulars seem alb
solutely indifferent on this important
point In fact, after showing them
navigation by means of their legs,
duty is believed TO be at an end, and
no matter how wretchedly child
moves the parent rests satisfed'with
only spasmodic attempts at correction.
Whether the ungraceful wobble, the
hating step and painful stoop so COM
monty seen Is attributed to carclessness
or unnatural drcs;ing. certain it is
that six out of every ten women walk
abominably. To be upright and easy
In ones movements Is only rs nature
intended, and unless dcformed there is
not the slightest excuse for the absurd
locomotion noticed on the streets every
day. Why children arc permitted to
grow up pigcon-toed. round-shoulder-
ed, crooked and awkward is PROPOSE
ton left open for further discussion.

Ancient writer's have mentioned
giants exceeding ten and even twelve
feet IN height, but these accounts have
doubtless been exaggerated, and IL Is o
matter of question whether any of these
individuals have exceeded In stature
the giant Winckclmeler of the present
time, and who is eight and onc-half feet
high. Dwarfs of sixteen and even
twelve inches are among tho records of
human existence, but these diminutive
creatures were either immature or ILL
formed.
