,.anuc,ct,re of pa,er Barrels,

After three years of experimental
work an English company has succeed
ed in producing paper barrels which are
able to compete favorably with barrels
made Of wood. The paper barrels are
used at present principally for the car
riage of gunpowder, mining fuses, fruit,
flowers, molasses, paint, cement,
matches, chemicals, dyes, asbestos,
sugar, size and extract of meat. The
materials used in making the barrels
are waste paper. cardboard and for
the better quality old sacks. When
cardboard is used it is soaked or boiled
for six hours and afterward treated in
Tic same manner rs the ether row me-
terial. This is carefully sorted and put
into rag engine, or beaten, where it is
beaten and torn to pieces by series Of
knives for about an hour and half.
1t is a1terward mixed with water until
pulp of uniform consistency is gained
This is rolled, joined, shaped and dried,
and the barrel is finally covered with
hoops.
Before the tops and bottoms are put
in the barrels are painted with water
proof composition, made Of linseed oil
and resin, for ordinary purpose barrels,
ard with special varnish where they
are used for food products The stand
ard size made is 16 1-2 inches in diam
eter by % inches long. The price at
which these barrels can be produced
enables them to compete favorably
with wooden barrels A barrel costing
81 cents in wood can, when made of
paper, be sold for 2S cents. One great
feature is that there is no waste with
the process, all ''wasters" being beaten
up into pulp again. New York Com

Mrs. L. Harrison's method. This, ac-
cording to the lady's own story, is as
follows: The honey was mash up in a
pan and set over q kettle of boiling
water and stirred frequently. Before
the honey was very hot the wax had
risen to the surface, and being set out in

warm honey could be poured from under

THE CHURCH AND THE LODGE.


Alarm ut the Inroads Made Upon Re-
ligion by Secret Organizations.
What shall be the attitude of the
church toward the secret orders which
have multiplied so rapidly throughout
the country during the last few years2
With many Of our churches no problem
is more serious, or beset with greater
complications. The problem would be
simplilied somewhat if these organiza-
tions were made up entirely of men
who l.ave protested no allegiance to
the church, but the place which the
lodge holds in the affections of many q
church member is what gives rise to
great anxiety. Sad though the comics
sion is, it must be acknowledged that
some men whose names are on the
church roll habitually give precedence
to the secret society over the church.
If the meetings conflict the successful
competitor for their presence is the
former. They have no time to spare
for the great religious gatherings like
those ut Saratoga, but they will so a
long distance to be present ut q con-
clave of their fraternity,
At the meeting of the Vermont Con
gregationalists at Rutland the subject
aroused the liveliost discussion of the
whole session. Resolutions mildly dep
recating the absorption of some Chris
tians in such interests were set one
side, because few thought that the
formal protest would be considered a
declaration of war, and would embar-
rass them in their efforts to counteract
the baneful influences of these societies.
Yet not man who spoke failed to adj
NIT that Christian concerns in his own
community were suffering on account
of them. Several WHO live in towns of
only few thousand inhabitants re-
ported from twenty to forty thriving
orders.
We believe HAT Vermont is not ex-
ceptional in this respect. The lodge

of tile various secret orders-will be
found strongly mtrenched all through
The country, growing in numbers and
power, and everywhere detachins the
devotion of Christian men from the
church, and TOO often, we fear, from
the straightforward service of their
master. Recent figures, carefully com
piled, show that Boston has 2l3 church
es to 800 lodges; Brooklyn, So church
es to Cos lodges; Washington, 1S1
churches to SIG lodges; Chicago, ISL
churches to ,0SS lodges. and the same
proportion obtains in other cities

French Royalists Sell to the Kaiser.
Three French royalists have just sold
the historical estate OF D'Urville, of
which they were by heritage the CO.
proprietors. The purchaser is the Ger
man emperor who rock u fancy to the
place when he first visited Metz, and
has ever since watched for an oppor-
tunity of buying it. The estate in quos-
ton is wedged in between German Lor-
raine and Luxembourg. Some centuries
ago it was under the sovereignty of the
house of Orange, or rather constituted
a little sovereign state in itself.
Louis XVI bought it from Maria
Theresa and the Emperor Joseph for
$40, 000. The king was to have gone
there il he had escaped from the Tui!e-
ries, and would have been guarded by
a regiment ofDe Bouille's division. As
Urvillc was close to the Luxembourg
frontier he could easily have with
drawn from France if threatened by
the revolutionary army. The estate Of
Urvillc became part Of the national do
main and was sold to tl!e Bandc Noire
but the old chateau and the timber in
the park escaped being demolished
and cut down. The castle IS q noble
pile, and the park in which it stands is
