Manufactures of p.ner pn1n

The manufacture Of paper pulp under
the suiphlte process begins with taking the
bark from the wood, hacking out the dis
colored or decayed parts, and cutting with
knives across the grain of the wood at an
angle of about 40 dogs, making thin chips.
The latter are then elevated to the top OF
che mill and dropped into large drums
made OF metal, which are usually IA feet
in diameter and "a feet long, and strong
enough TO sustain pressure of from rs
to 200 pounds to the square inch. This
drum is packed full of chips, and then filled
With chemical composed of sulphuric
acid, etc. The product, which comes out
like cotton-as white as snow-is pressed
dry and washed, then mixed with water
again, rolled fiat and cut into shape for
bundling.
AT this stage of the process the pulp is
90 per cent. water and 20 per cent. fiber.
Thus bundled, it is hastily forwarded to
the paper mill. One cord of spruce makes
l.5O0 pounds of dry fiber. One cord of pop-
lar makes 1000 pounds of dry fiber. Dry
hber Is worth at present $3.50 per 100
pounds, making the product from one cord
OF spruce sell at S22. 50. Usually the price is
81 per 100 pounds delivered at paper mills.
The freight must be paid on the water
just the same as though it was material.
and the only function it performs is to
keep the fiber in a condition to mix over
again quickly before it is used If it were
shipped dry to paper mills it would pack
so hard it would be useless.-New York

Col. Robert G. Ingersoll is apt in stories,
and some of them have become famous.
He is never at a loss for good story to
illustrate any point. Not long ago group
of gentlemen, in which the colonel was the
central figure, were discussing people who
have knack of saying the right thing at
the wrong time The colonel said:
81 can illustrate that by relating a case
in point which occurred in Western
state. A well to DO merchant, Mr. Thomp-
son, living in a town noted for its malaria
and funerals, whenever his wife died
would go into an adjoining county and
marry again. He had married his fourth
wife and taken her to the malarial town to
enjoy quinine and domestic felicity, when.
as the novelists say, this story begins A
loquacious lady il the healthy county was
IN the habit of assisting Mr.. Thompson to
find some eligible young woman willing to
marry him and take her chances. Some
six months after he married his fourth
wife he appeared again in the healthy
county. The loquacious lady greeted him
and said:
GLOW is your wife, Mr.. Thompson?"
"She is dead" he replied sadly.
"What, dead again.'' cried the louua-
cious woman in surprise.-New York

WHY SnoW Is White,

The pure white luster Of the snow is due
to the fact that all the elementary colors of
light are blended together in the radiance
that is thrown off from the surface of the
crystals. 1t is quite possible to examine
the individual snow crystals in such a wav
as to detect these several colors before
they are mingled together to constitute
the compound impression of whiteness
upon the eye. The snow is then clothed
with all the varied hues of the rainbow.
The soft whiteness of the snow is also in
some degree referable to the large GUAM
tlty of air which is entangled amid the
frozen particles.
Snow is composed of great number of
minute crystals; more than a thousand
quite distinct forms Of snow crystals have
been enumerated by various observers.
One hundred and fiftT,one were noticed
during eight days in February and March,
1879, by MIR. Glaisher, which were carefully
drawn, engraved and printed in a paper
attached TO the relaDrt Of the British Mete
geological society for that year.
These minute crystals and prisms reflect
all the compound rays of which white light
consists Sheets of snow on the ground
are known to reflect beautiful pink and
blue tints under certain angles of sunshine.
and to fling back so much light as to be
painful to the eyes by day, and to guide
the traveller, in the absence of moonshine.

Advantages of sIlk Underwear.

SILK gives so it never shrinks, never can
shrink, and the travelling man who wrote
that he meant to use it because the hotel
laundries shrank his wool understands so
he could not wear them was entirely level
headed. Silk shirts don't shrink: they
stretch by washing. so that they have to be
made small purposely to begin. This elias
ITCHY makes them very easy to get in and
out Of after being once washed At first
there is crispiness to the fabric, owing to
its gummy, nature, which softens when it
is warm on the skin and wholly disappears
after washing once. But you don't want
to put such fabric through laundries, for
scalding and boiling will ruin it.
All silk should be washed in lukewarm
water, with mild soap, and rinsed in clear
lukewarm water the same temperature. It
does not need the scalding which wool and
cotton require to get the sweat out, as old
washerwomen say, for it does not hold it
as they do. Consequently it has not the
rabld scent which common clothing will
acquire in warm weather when travelling
without baths. 1t is not pretty, true. but
