Paper in Japan.

In Japan, as is well known, it has long
been customary to manufacture multi
tude of articles, from overcoats and
wiudow panes to string and pocket hand
kercbiefs, out of paper, but the japanese
government, not content with these feats
of national ingenuity, is jast now bestow-
ing great attention on the paper industries,
and experimenting with pith, old silk rags,
and many kinds of vegetable substances,
with a view to other employments OF paper
in the arts. Mr.. Liberty, in his recent
paper read before the Society of Arts,
London, describes visit that he made to
the government paper factory at Shiebu-
Ogi. where he W.T. tched numbered of intell-
igent little japanese girls and woman
preparing the "mitsumata," or bark of the
famous paper mulberry tree, and arrang-
ing the snowy layers of pulp on the
rectangular straining sieves. Toughness
and silk-like surface are the usual charac-
teristies Of japanese paper, which, in spite
Of our recent progress in this department
of the arts, still remains far superior to
European paper.

Another Warning.

Waterbury, Conn, is suffering from what
may almost be called an epidemic of tv-
pho.d fever, due to the containing ed milk
served from dairy farm that sr lied mart
Of the city with milk. The cit, .neineer.
a member of the health board, was one az
the victims to whom the disease proved
fatal. One Of the daily papers, comment
ing on this says:
This man has laborsd long and earn
estly in defense Of the public health, so far
as the removal Of unfarorable conditions
within the city limits was concerned, and
as member Of the board of health his At
tention must have been called to many
subjects in the field Of sanitation that were
not connected with drainage. But in the
prime of life he has been cut off by poison
sent to the city from farm where the
farmer himself lay i'll of typhoid fever. and
from which an employee had recently been
taken to the city hospital, there to die of
the same malady. If so well-informed a
civil engineer and practical sanitarian a.
the late Mr.. Weld was willing to use in his
family the milk sent from q herd and 4
dairy farm that had not been subjected to
sanitary inspection, we cannot expect that
the average citizen viii strive to protect
himself under similar conditions The fire.
quent sanitery inspection of suburban dali
ry farms is required for the protection OF
the inhabitants of the cities in which
milk from those farms is sold" This is
only another warning adds The Christian
Union, to every citizen. You may pro-
tect your property from burglars by bolts
and bars, but the lives of those dearest to
you, who have a right to look to you for
protection, depend on your intelligence for
their health, for their lives Insist on pub
lie officers doing the work for which thew
are appointed; in every way see that your
own home is conducted on such basis as
not TO endanger public health. See that
your neighbor does not endanger the
health conditions of your OWE home, and
these frequent public calamities will be
avoided. They are preventable, and it is
criminal carelessness to live under condi-
tions that make them possible.

BY Industry We Thrive.

The traveller through the Iaim regions
will notice the unmistakeable evidence of
prosperity that abound on all the farms
Large new barns are going up in all direc
tions, improved machinery is standing by
the doors of the wagon houses, fences and
fields take on cleaner airs fresh paint
.brightens the houses, and everything has
very promising outlook. 1t is only a
few years ago that the farms of Jefferson
county were decidedly uninviting in ap-
pearance. The fields were full of stumps
the buildings insufficient, the fence rows
full of weeds, and general air of unthrift
peryaded the atmosphere. But now it is
the other way. The farmers are unuoubt-
edly prosperous They show it in every
way. While theorists are looking for the
cause Of depression among farmers the
practical men of Jefferson county farms
have found that attention to business has
weeded out the depression, and given pros
perity in its place. Intelligent and patient
work on the farm does not give such for
tune as Vanderbilt or Carnegie are laying
up, but it gives an honest independence, a
clear Coincidence and well loaded table;
and that is good deal better to look back
to at the end of life than fortune accumu-
lated by doubtful means, and which must
only be left behind anyway.-Spirh.

He Tells 1t on Himself.

General George A. Sheridan "of Lou
isiana,' who has not been in Louisiana for
so long time that he would hardly know
the direction of the compass to New
Orleans, tells story about the precocity
and perversity of New York childhood,
which is also good joke on himself. He
was riding in a Sixth Avenue street car
the other day, when nurse entered with
a curly headed boy of about 4, who was
crying viciously. He was making his
ontcries disagreeable to every one in the
car, even after it had started, and the Gen
eral, thinking to startle him out of his i'll
humor, leaned across tapped him on the
shoulder with cane and said sharply but
pleasantly:
Here, stop. What's the matter with
you anyway
There was a fash of Indignation across
the youngsters face as he drew himselfup,
stiaed a new outcry, gulped once or twice,
and looking out of his tear-stained eyes
straight at the General, responded in
dignantly:
'None of your-business."
The General did not ask any more ques-
tions, but glanced slyly about to discover
all the lady passengers looking shocked
and all the gentleman intensely amused.

| THE MAGPIE AND THE ThAfELkkS.
One day as Magpie had taken seat on
the limb Of tree near the Highway, two
Travellers came along and Halted under
the tree to rest They soon observed the
bird, and, never having seen one of its
Species before, one of them called out:
"Behold the Eagle What noble
Birdw
eHow Beautiful! How Grandl" added
the other
Filled with Conceit, the Magpie began
to Chatter her satisfaction at these Words,
but she had scarcely Opened her Mouth
when one of the travellers Exclaimed:
"what Fools we are! I.know from what
have Read that this Bird is only Com
mon Magpie~
"And let her Begonew added his friend,
as he picked up q stone and sent it
Whizzing at her head.

Hal the boys in Butler are humming
Little Annie Rooney" which has won its
way into an evanescent popularity, and
succeeds "McGinty" as catchy, popular
air. McGinty and the grip swept the
country ut the same time, were well mated
and suited the wintry season, for while the
grip was severe and painful, the "McGinty"
ditty was mock-tragical and coarse.
Little Annie Rooney" is certainly adapt
ed to the soft summer season, when the
balmy zephyrs blow and oil nature includ

This is the refrain that comes floating out
OF windows these summer evenings, is
whistled on the streets and is sung or
braycd-mostly the latter-by n great

"She's my sweetheart, I'm her beau,
She s my Annie, I'm her Joe,
Soon we'll marry, never To part,
Little Annie Rooney is my sweetheart"
The new postal cards, which will
shortly be printed, are Of two sizes-the
bigger ones, which have twice the area of
the present postal cards, being intended for
business communications that cannot very
well be crowded, and for other purposes
demanding space. Both cards have in the
right hand upper corner instead of a
representation Of stamp, a small portrait
of General Grant.

THE BOOK OF LIFE.
Our liie's book--a different page
Is turned each day;
The mysteries the next conceas
None dare to say.
The binding OF Lilies book is Hope,
,s.. With Faith enwove
The golden rim about its leaves u,
Islhuman love.
And each event, each deed Of ours
Itself prints there
In blurred type, Sin while Virtue stamps
In letters clear
Each noble act performed is marked
In blue and gold;
But all unjust or wicked deeds,
Black lines enfold,
A bright, Illuminated scroll
Adorns each page
For each temptation we withstand
From youth to age.
Our days its numbered foios are,
death its clasp. I'D
The power to make this volume fair
Is in our grasp,
So live that when all wor k s..done
s.Ip And laid aside,
Our children's eyes may look upon
The Book with pride,
Then, void of shame or haunting fear, ;,
1t may be read, ~ 4a
When, haply, we may rest among
The honored dead.

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
General Meeting on Monday - Minera
Specimens for Assay.

General Meeting on Monday Mineral
Specimens for Assay.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce will be held on
Monday evening. preceded at in the
morning by meeting of the board of
trustees
The committee on property and finance
met at O'Clock yesterday afternoon and
examined the accounts for June. The
financial reports show large balance on
the right side.
Secretary Dodge yesterday sent to State
Geologist Bethune box of specimens OF
silver ore to be asSayed for silver and lead.
The greatest precautions are being taken TO
secure true assays, the samples being num-
bered and bearing no evidence of their
source, which will not be revealed until the
assay has been made. They will then be
placed IN the collection of mineral speci
mems IN the Chamber of Commerce build
ing.
About a. good an evidence as could be
found of the high estimation in which the
chambers held is contained in the fact that
share OF stock was recently sold at a pre-
MUM of $3.50. The committees on trans.
portation OF the Chamber of Commerce
and the Board of Trade will meet at s n.
m. on Tuesday 10 consider the subject Of
freight rates on the lower Sound. A sub
committee will probably be appointed to
interview the steamer owners and report
20 the main committee.

where the water had washed out the earth

but forgot to cut off the current and the
car went on, twisted around and fell down
an excavation in the hillside, standing on
end. All the passengers. including Mrs.

in the lower end of the car and some of
them were bruised and crushed, but none
seriously hurt. The car was finally righted.

WORTH WHILE

II Is easy enough to be pleasant
While life flows by like song,
But the man worth while is the man who viii
smile
When everything goes dead wrong.
For the test of the heart is trouble,
And it always comes with the years.
And the smile that is worth the praises Of earth
Ii the smile that shines through tearA
II is easy enough to be prudent
When nothing tempis you to stray,
When without or WITHIN no voice OF sin
Il luripg your soul away.
But it's only negative virtue
Until it is tried by fire,
And the life that is worth the honor Of earth
Is the one that ressts desire.
By the cynic, the sad, the fallen.
Who had no strength for the strife,
The worlds highway is numbered today:
They make up the items OF lie.
But the virtue that Conquers passion,
And the sorrow that hides in u smile
1t is these that are worth the homage OF earth,
For we find them but once in awhile.

THE BROAD WATER.
A Great Crowd visit. the Springs.

Great Crowd SlSlLS the SpTluSS
The rush to the Broadwater yesterday was
unprecedented. Both the steam motor and
the electric lines were taxed to their utmost
capacity and still a great crowd was left
standing at the junction of Main street and
Sixth avenue waiting an opportunity to ride
out to the springs. Every steam motor was
loaded to the guards almost before it
reached Main street and there was a scram-
Bile FOR seats whenever an electric car put in
an appearance. Several persons even went SO
far as to climb on top of the car IN their
eagerness go to the Broadwater. but this
was prohibited after one trip. 1t is rather
a dangerous place to ride at best, and II a
person should come in contact with the full
charged wire it would probably prove the
last of him.
Several Cinnamon started to get on one
of the electric cars, but concluded 1.-The
| guide'' was not safe. They were of the
opinion that the apparatus which takes the
electricity from the trolly wire was in
tended to keep the car on the track, and
they concluded it was too frail for the pur-
pose The accommodation was entirely
inefficient, Notwithstanding every effort
was made by the managers OF both lines to
carry as many passen gers as swiftly at
possible. Colonel Broadwater. it is under.
