WOODRUFF FOR PAPER.
Tho Processes Employed In Famous
French Mill.

The manufacture Of wood pulp, by
Ekman's process for paper-making is
carried on at Bonne-Nouvelle in Dieppe.
The pulp is sold to puper-mills in
France, and mostly used, together with
rags, for the manufacture of various
kinds of paper.
1t is said that this pulp not only pro-
iuces good printing paper, sbut also
high class of writing-paper, and other
superior kinds of paper can be manu-
factured from it without the addition Of
rags. The wood from which it is made
Is the usual white wood from Sweden
and Norway, or Finland.
Tho first operation is to remove the
bark and clean the outside of the wood,
which is done by women, who have been
found more suitable for this work than
men. Afterward, the round logs are cut
into fat pieces Of about two and one
half inches in thickness. The knots are
now as far as possible bored ont by ma
chinery, but any that remain are cut
OUT by hand. Great attention is paid to
cleaning the wood in order to obtain
pulp clean enough for good kinds OF
paper.
The cleaned wood is fed into a cutting
machine, which rapidly cuts it up into
pieces about one-half an inch in
length. A band carries the cut wood to
the top of the boiling-house. The boilers
are of iron, covered on the inside with
lead to protect the iron from the action
Of the sulphurous acids used. Tho
boilers are filled with wood through an
opening of the top, and then a liquid,
containing bisulphate OF magnesia, is
poured in to cover the wood. The boiler
Is then closed with cover, and boiling
Is now done with steam, the time vary
Ing from ten to twelve hours. When the
boiling process Is finished the steam Is
blown Off, ana the pulp forced out
through valve at the bottom OF the
boiler into tank with perforated bot
tom to allow all the liquid to drain or.

Holden said this pious look came over
his face.
To tell the real truth this serene and
religious look seldom came over Farmer
Holden's face unless he had had a
streak of good luck, as he expressed it.
Yet he did not usually carry an ugly
face; on the contrary, he was generally
quite good-natured, however full of
business he might be. Perhaps it was
because he wanted to have the good
opinion of his friends and neighbors
that he was pleasing in his manners,
