How CeIiulold ts Made.


 While everybody has heard of, or seen, or used celluloid, only few know what it is composed of or how it is made. The follow ing is description of the process carried on in factory near Paris for the production of celluloid. A roll of papers is slowly un- wound, and at the same time saturated with 8 mixture of five parts of sulphurtc acid and two parts of nitric acid, which falls upon the paper in a fine spray. This changes the cellulose of the paper into propylin. gun cotton. The excess of the acid having been expelled by pressure, the paper is washed with plenty of water until all traces of the acid have been removed. It is then reduced to pulp and passes to the bleaching trough. Most of the water having been got rid of by means of a strainer, the pulp is mixed with twenty to forty per cent. of its weight in camphor, and the mixture is thoroughly trlt- urated under mill stones. The necessary coloring having been added in the form of powder, a second mixing and grinding fol- lows. The fnely-divided pulp is then spread out in thin layers on slabs, and from twenty to twenty-five of these layers are placed in hydraulic press, separated from one another by some sheets of thick plotting paper, and are subjected to pressure of one hundred and fifty atmospheres, until all traces of moisture have been got rid of. The matter is then passed between rollers heated to one hundred and forty and one hundred and if ty degrees Fahrenheit, whence 1t issues in the form of elastic sheets.

WHO GETS THE PROFIT

=
 The inquiry by committee of the Senate into the meat business has not brought out very plainly what the trouble really is. It has. however, been made plain that while the price of meat on the hoof has greatly de- clined for some reason within a few years, the price of meat to the consumer has not been perceptibly reduced, and in many in- stances has actually been advanced. There has been all this time great increase in the business of raising cattle. The cost of rail road transportation has without doubt de. creased, and whatever decrease there has been must, of course, have proved beneficial to somebody in connection with the industry The cattle raisers say that they are not mak- ing much profit, and they are telling the truth, they are only getting $10 now for what brought them $34 five years ago. The consumer certainly is not getting the benefit, is generally believed that "the Big Feur" are making the most of the profit, although if MT. Armour, who refused to appear before the committee, is to be believed, they are making a bare living.
 It Is very difficult to get at the facts, and if 1t should be found "the Big Four" are op- pressing, by means of their combination, both the cattle raisers and the consumers of meat, it would be quite as difficult to stop them. The Providence Journal says con- corning the matter: There are some ways un- fortunately, in which the combination can crush out the smaller concerns which might lower the price of beef, and there is every reason to suppose that such is done. So long as the members of tho combination re- fuse to testify in the matter, the popular no- tion as to where the bulk of the money goes will remain unchanged. It would be a gratifying circumstance if the Senatorial committee should get 30 near the root of the trouble as to be able to recommend practi- cal way of depriving the Big Four of what ever means they have of thus placing an ex horbitant tax on the consumer. The hope that any'real good will come of the senate rial examination into the subject is, how ever, much clouded by unfortunate cir cumstances besetting legislation upon suot matters. The solution of the problem is moi likely to como except through methods pro- vided in the natural course of trade.

 The Plain Speaker, newspaper edited and published by colored men at Charleston, South Carolina, considers the proposed exo- dus of colored people from the south to the west, Mexico or Cuba gross mistake, and argues against such movement. That organ says such an idea should not be toler- ated, but admits that in certain sections of South Carolina, as we'll as in other of the southern states, the colored man has just cause to complain of oppression and poor wages paid him. "Where such a state of affairs exists" says the paper, "we advise an emigration scheme similar to the one devised in North Carolina, after failure to have the evils referred to corrected" And the Plain Speaker adds: 'There are thousands of negroes in this state who have worked hard and saved their scanty earnings; have pur- chased comfortable homes and are building school-hcuses and churches. They are edu- eating their children. They are concerned in the various enterprises which tend to build up the communities in which they live. They will not emigrate. They will continue to live and will die in the Sunny South.

Two Long Separated Brothers MI Through a Newspaper Story.
 TFrom tfe PhiladeInhia Times

Two Long Separated Brothers Meet
 Through Newspaper Story.
 From the Philadelphia Times.l
 A letter received at the office of the Times yesterday reveals romance in real life that has concluded in the reunion of two broth CTS who were separated in their infancy and until recently had not known of the exist Francis B. Forster, of Hackensack, N. J., and says:
 "My brother has been found through the
 recent publication in the Times of the story of our separation. He read it and immedi-
 ately came to see me. The meeting was
 the 6rst in our lifetime as far as we remem-
 Der, and we wish to express our sincere
 thanks to the Times for the reunion of two orphans who have been separated since in- fancy"
 The story that was so happily terminated
 few days ago is ia brief as follows: The
 parents of Francis B. and Frederick Forster
 died in 1866, both deaths resulting from
 cholera and on the same day. Francis was then eleven days old and Frederick only five years older They had neither friends nor relatives and were taken charge of by Her man Lodge of Masons, of which their father was an esteemed member.
 Francis was subsequently, adopted by Henry Bitter, of New York, who named him Henry Bitter, jr. Mir. Bitter was attacked with dangerous illness in 1888, and told the boy the story of his adoption, giving his pa- rents' names, the date of their death and the certificate of his adoption.
 Frederick was sent to the Lutheran Or phan Asylum at Germantown, where he was educated, but was afterward claimed by an uncle, MT. Reppis, who raised him and had him taught the trade of cigarmaking. The | boy faintly remembered the death of his pa l rents and had vague idea of the existence of younger brother, about whom he made | repeated inquiries, which were unavailing 1 as also were advertisements which he a various times inserted in the papers. H 1 finally gave up the search about the tim I that Francis discovered that he had broth | CT living somewhere. l The younger boy had traced his brother tt 1 the Germantown Orphan Asylum, but there | he could obtain no information as to hii | whereabouts, as they had lost sight of hin l after Mir. Reppis took charge of the lad | He finally came to Philadelphia, and last I week found some members of his fathers ole 1 Masonic lodge, from whom be obtained ar 1 emblem that his father had formerly worn | His story was published in the Times an6
 was seen by Frederick, who immediatell l communicated with him.
 A meeting was arranged to take place o1 l Monday last at Jersey City. Frederick wa 1 rose in his hand as means of recognition | for Francis, who was to wear red handke1 l chief around his neck. Both were on hant 1 at the appointed time, and in the presence o l several friends they met and exchanged tn | most sffectionate greetings. The identity c | each was definitely established, and they ar | now together in Hackensack.

Was nt to drlnk. That reminded Sherwood of his barrel of old Kentucky bourbon that had been lying so long in his cellar. He told Judge Cook that he had some whiskey at home that he believed was good, and that he would fetch some down next day. He had his barrel tapped that night, and filling @ two-gallon jug from it brought it to Cor ming and presented it to Judge Cook. The judge tasted the whiskey, and in all his ex- perience he had never met with its equal.
 Young man," said he to Sherwood. I won't forget you for fetching me this rare stuff. If ever see chance to give you 8 lift I'll do it.
 'Time passed. Sherwood skinned along after the manner of the average country lawyer. The war broke out. Judge Cook was one of the solid men of western New York. He, in company with the late John Arnot, J. s. T. Stranahan of Buffalo, Charles Cook of Havana, and John H. Chedell of Auburn, had built the New York and Erie railroad from Binghamton to Corning and was largely interested in other great improve ments in this part of the State and Pennsyl- vania. Soon after the war began he obtained a big government contract, and at once sent for Hank Sherwood.
 !" I'm going to give you that lift now, Henry," said he.
 "He let Sherwood in on the contract, and the country lawyers share of the proceeds was $15o, ,000-cold, cash dollars. After this was done Judge Cook said to Sherwood:
 "There's some land for sale in Tioga county, Pa. It is coal land, and is bound to be-vcry valuable. You can buy some of | it cheap. Put all the money you've got in that land'
 "Sherwood did 80. Every dollar he made in the big contract he put into Tiogs county land. He hadn't great while to wait be- fore the prophecy of Judge Cook came true. Henry M. Sherwood's first fee resulted in being the biggest fee ever received by any lawyer on earth, for he cleared over $1 ,0o0,- G Go from n his ha ef Kanng in T0ga Sp G0upy his tramp client had paid for his services was the basis of it all. Was there ever a more valuable barrel of whiskey distilled, do you think?"

GENERAL SAM HOUSTON.

1t was a memorable scene in the house
of representatives Friday night, when the
state hung upon the walls of her stately
capitol the portrait of one of the fathers
of Texas. In his address Captain Hutche-
son portrayed at length the weirdly TO
mantle life, the heroic war-like deeds, the
statesman-like conduct, ken and work of
that man of history and destiny, the great
Sam Houston. His address was eloquent
and able. The ability of Texas was there,
many of her great men and fair women
all assembled to do honor to the
name and fame of him who contrib
uted so much to make Texas great
and sovereign. Texas can hang in her
capitol building no better monument OF
her history, her glorious past, no stronger
pledge for her future, no grander inspira'
ton to her young men than the picture OF
the warrior, hero and statesman, last night
