If Col. Walsh, of the Augusta Chronicle,
attends the Georgia press convention in
Savannah next week, he will doubtless want
to have the members photographed as a
body. Col. Walsh is fine-looking gentle
man, and the other fne-looking gentlemen
always vote for his motions, which, by the
way, never fail to pass unanimously.

Use of Paper in Building.

The use of paper fabric for building
purposes by the term paper being
meant, broadly. flexible sheet made
Of vegetable or other fiber, which has
been reduced TO pulp, and then
pressed out and spread and dried is
now being advocated by some builders
on the following grounds: First, con-
tinuity Of surface; this is, it can be
made in rolls Of almost any width and
length, 10 flexible, or by gluing several
layers together, may be made still, and
will stop the passage Of air because
there are no joints. Second, II has no
grain. like wood. and will not split.
Third, 1t is not affected by change OF
temperature, and, therefore, has an
advantage over sheet metal as roofing
material Fourth. whereas Ia its
natural condition it is affected by mois-
ture, IL may be rendered waterproof by
saturating with asphalt, or by variety
OF other methods. Fifth, 1t Is nom
resonant, and well fitted to prevent the
passage OF sound. Sixth. 1t is non
conductor Of heat, and can be made
also OF incomnustible material like
asbestos, or rendered fire resisting by
chemical treatment. The combination
OF paper with other substances and
solidifying the mass by pressure rem
ders practicable the production Of a
material capable Of replacing wood for
many purposes; and not the least among
Its charac1ristics OF adaptability. says
the Manufacturer and Builder, is the
ease with which it may be made into
sheets OF any width and thickness; that
IL will not warp or shrink from heat,
cold or dampness.

There had been a beautiful winter,
"a perfectly elegant winter" Jack
Burns said, "cold as Greenland;
steady, right along" and the pond
were frozen hard, two feet thick,
splendid, hard, steel-blue ice. Oh
course, il being that kind OF winter,
and Santa Claus always knowing
what is appropriate, he did the right
thing. There were twelve boys on
the street, and he came around
Christmas Eve with twelve pairs oil
skates.
1t was great surprise-it always
is, you know. And somehow before
breakfast everybody of the twelve
knew that every other boy of the
dozen had a new pair OF skates, too,
and there was an appointment made
to meet down at Long Pond.
As they were nice boys, they invited
their sisters to go along and wear
the new mittens and furs and hoods.
So a general, public, Christmas Day
was kept down ON Long Pond.
There was big fire on the bank,
and there was hot lunch, and there
were races, and fourishes and names

She saw boundless possibilities in
every old garment rescued from OBJ
lfvion, and it was not long before she
had pressed several girl friends into
the service.
Bertha had picked out six boys and
six girls to attend the Christmas tree.
The boys, sturdy little Germans and
Swedes, had early been inducted into
long trousers and miniature coats
by their fond parents. They had
looked very queer and uninteresiDg to
Bertha heretofore, but now she
studied their broad features and
square figures with deep interest
The little girls she felt more easy
about, but she also noted well their
length ofarm and limb and the gener-
al size OF the lite maidens. Aunt Fan
ny secured the pattern OF a wonder
ful hood consisting Of three pieces.
Small bits OF merino and silk could
thus be used adyantageously in its
manufacture; and furthermore, when
completed, the hood could be drawn
up by a magical string into just the
size to fit any head.

and labor"
DO tell mo your plan, auntie; for

Bertha had ceased to sob now, and
looked good deal like her bright,

a dozen poor children, make them
some clothing out OF the worn.out
garments about the house, pick up a

Two hours later, when Mr.. Miller
came home from the city. he was
greeted by a perfect whirl-wind of de-
light az he entered the hall.
The childeen rushed out so excited
and happy that fcr time he forgot
failures and all other troubles. His
ears were deafeDed by the delightful
shouts Of

And more indefinite questions than

OF course, he had To come into the
parlor and listen while the plan for
the Christmas party was unfolaed to
him. Bertha and Aunt Fanny had
communicated it to the rest of the
children, and all had agreed to help.
Mr.. Miller entered warmly into the
project.
Bertha's frat idea was to furnish
warm clothing and substantial pres
ents only, but soon her intentions
were enlarged. What would such an
undertaking be without a tree? Not
that the Miller family had ever had
tree themselves, but Bertha was so
sure that tree was the proper thing
for poor children, that the rest de-
cided in favor OF il.
Now, obviously, cloaks, hoods, and
other substantials would not make
a very attractive Christmas tree, 40
there must be toys and decorations.
The work increased on her hands.
Mohave County miner., 1890-12-20

The troop was admitted, and
as soon as their hats and coats
were removed, they we're carried
away to a scene ofsurpassing beauty.
The back parlor was indeed charm.
ing as it looked to these little ones.
From the chandelier to the corners
of the room we're suspended cords,
and upon the cords hung bright-col.
ored Chinese lanterns. An immense
lantern graced the chandelier itself,
which was further ornamented by
flags.
In soap-box, made beautiful by d
covering Of white cloth with ever
green trimmings, was planted tho
Christmas tree, radiant with candles
and shining with its golden fruita,
while over all wGs an entrancing gilt
ter of isinglass frost. Festoons oil
popcorn and bags ofcandy increased
the general impression of spIendor.
These with the toys and cotton dolls
threw an air of reality over a scene
that looked too beautiful to be true.
After the children had stared their
GIL, they adjourned to the dining
room. There the table stretched to
its utmost capacity, awaited the do
lighted boys and girls.
! shall not enumerate all the deli
cacies which tempted the palates OF
the Christmas teasters. / am sure,
though, that an ice-cream hen and
chickens grnced the center Of the tn
bic, and that quantities Of nuts, rails
ins, candies, and cakes balanced the
four corners.
After each button on each jacket,
including the Miller boys' jackets,
was about to pop off, and even the
girls Mother Hubbar1s began TO
look scant, and not till then, did they
return to the back parlor. Then the
splendid tree was dismantled, the
packages, neatly tied and reposing
under the tree, were distributed.
Those who had come with small
baskets were provided with large
ones, and the large ones were filed
to their utmost capacity; for the
golden oranges, cones, and bananas,
the candy bags and popcorn strings,
and all the toys took a good deal OF
space. just when the packing was
over came n ring at the door. A
man left a note for "Miss Bertha
Miller"
When she opened it, she found IL
contained check, and request for
her to use it to purchase a dozen
PAIRS of shoes. Bertha's joy was
complete.
Mohave County miner., 1890-12-20

Mrs. Miller and the eight children
had done their part nobly, and Ber.
tha the eldest had kept up under
their reverses with wonderful cheer
fninass. But last night came
a stroke almost too hard to bear.
After evening prayers, Mr.. Miller
had said gravely, and II cost him
more to say it than it had to pur-
chase all the Christmas presents that
he had ever bought
Children, mother AMI I have
talked it over, and have concluded
that this year you win have to go
without Christmas presents. You
have everything that you need now,
30 that you would only teelit mock
cry oiChristmas To receivssome trife
such as we could give. We think it
would be better to be contented with
a Christmas spirit in our hearts, II
we can't have the presents to keep it
outwardly."
No onespoke for a second after Mr..
Miller made this statement. But
finally three-year-old Robbie. who
only ypartiallycomprehended the state
Of affairs, said gravely.-
Has Santa Claus failed. papa?"
Robbie had heard so much talk Of
failure lately that he thought such
ruin could reach even the ip1mor-
tai St. Nick.
They all laughed at Robbis's ques-
ton, and said they'd get along per-
fectly well without presents. But 1
am afraid eight pillows were bedewed
with tears that night, and l am sure
that there we're eight very sober faces
next day in the Miller home.
Bertha had struggled against the
general depression brtiyely, until
Aunt Fanny's sympathetic question
Mohave County miner., 1890-12-20

Just where the trouble comes. Truly
| don't mind about not receiving
presents, but not to give single

fresh outburst Of grief.

did, what sympathy is sure to do,
melted the girl out Of all composure
into perfect storm OF tears. Aunt
Fanny let Bertha cry until little OF
the natural bitterness was washed
out ot the trial, and then she said
gently
'I'm afraid you havn't the Christ
mas spirit in your heart, dear. You

She rushed out, sat down on the
back stairs and shed q half-Gozen
happy tears, and then back again to
tell the good news and bid all tho
little Vanderbergs and Hoffmey ers
and Truckles and Davises and Wag-
ners to repair to a certain shoe store,

get them each and severally pair

When the door closed on the last
