PRETTY. BUT DANGEROUS.
Fads About Celluloid-Its Manufactur
and Varied Uses-Singular Conceit.

"Look out!n
The reporter lodged back as If he had in
advertently touched an electric coil
"Great heavens, mani Do you want to
burn your fngers!' continued the merchant,
excitedly
"What's the matter?'
matter enough Those eyeglasses Of yours
are framed in celluloid, and il you keep
twirling them around in your fingers too nesr

The reporter placed the dangerous con-
trivance astride his nose, and the merchant,
who is one Of the largest dealers in ceiinlo,d
goods in the city, continued his conversation
where this incident had interrupted it.
''Most celluloid is made in France. Would
you like to know howl Then listen: A ron
of paper is slowly unwound, and at the Same
time is saturated with a mixture Of five parts
Of sulphuric acid and two parts o. nitric
lcid, which falls upon the paper il Eoe
pray This changes the celluiose Of the
mper into pyroxyline (gun cotton. The e1-
Tess of the acid having been expelled by
pressure, the paper 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 which gives it its explosive nature.
"Most of the water having been got rid OF
By means of strainer, the pulp is mixed with
from 90 to 40 per cent. of its weight OF cam

pulp is spread out in thin slabs, which are
squeezed in hydraulic press until they are

heated rollers and come out in elastic sheets.

thing else almost, that you can imagine. l

furnished in celluloid. The curtains, the

Indeed, the room was never used 1t was

owned the factory where it was made.
These rooms will mover be popular. Few

Cheap Living in Hamburg.

The common people of Hamburg rarely
eat meat, it is SO dear. Soups are made
in great variety, including one from beer.
The poorer kinds of fish only are cheap.
Economy is not confined to the poorer
people. Servant girls are generally
allowed for the week their loaf of bread
and quarter or half pound of butter or
lard, and are only permitted to use GER
tain quantity at each meal, the rest being
locked up with the family provisions till
the next meal.--Boston Budget.

Dr. SchIlemann, the Explorer.

DR.. Henry Schliemann is a German by
birth, but Greece is the home OF his adop-
ton. Nine. Schliemann is the daughter
of an Athenian shopkeeper, but she has
all the grace and bearing of a born queen.
And, what is rare among her country
women of the present day, she possesses
intellectual gifts of high order. They
have two children, and, according to the
classic tastes of the father, the boy bears
the name of Agamemnon, and the girl is
called Andromache. The latter is II
years old and eXquisitely beautiful. Not
withstanding DR.. Schliemann's classic
tastes and surroundings, he is very Justly
proud of being a citizen of the United
States. He was resident of California
when that state was admitted into the
Union, and thus became citizen Of the
great republic. At the age of Is he was
placed in counting room in Germany,
where he worked hard for small salary,
but managed to save money enough to
buy books, which he read in moments
snatched from sleep. In this way he mas
tered Greek. As clerk he was Just the
reverse of Hogarth's Idle Apprentice, and
his industry was rewarded by promotion
and increase Of salary, and in the course
of time he became partner in an indigo
house.
Having made fortune in trade, he re-
tired from business, and determined to
carry out his life long intention Of exca-
waiting the ruins OF Troy, employing 800
men in the work. His success has not
only given him a splendid reputation, but
has greatly increased his fortune. The
articles found in the ruins have proved Of
immense value TO the historian and the
archaologist, and have been sold to the
great libraries and museums Of the world.
DR.. Schliemann's income is $50, 900 year,
and he spends it with princely liberality.
He is the leader OF Athenian society, and
entertains with royal magniticence.-The

Leap year is a great fraud. No girl be-
lieves in that mystic four any longer, SO
far as any benefit accrues to her matri'
monially, although she continues to talk
about it and heap contumely on the heads
of backward SWANS. The dear creature
who pines for a mate is we'll aware she
can no more ask him to-day than she
tould six months ago to accept her hand
and heart, and therefore all the silly chat
