Utility OF sAWpusT.
A New Substance Mado from 1t by tn,
Germans.


Germans.
For several years certain Germans
have been experimenting, with view
to utilizing sawdust US n material for
mechanical purposes. 1t was discoy-
cred, years ago, that vegetable fiber,
after being subjected to certain chem
ical action, and aftcrward to Il pressure
sufficient to cxpcl all liquids from it,
could be made into n substance almost
indestructible by the elements, and of
great utility in the mechanical and
ornamental arts.
The difficulty has been that but few
kinds of fiber were capable of the trans
formation by any known process 1t
might almost be said that the fiber of
cotton alone produced satisfactory re-
suits.
Scientists IRE aware, however, that
all vegetable fiber is, to certain ex-
tent, Identical; that is, it is cellulose
more or less mixed with other sub
stances; and they have believed that
there must be some means by which
the coarscr kinds can be made useful
for the purpose as well as cotton, which
is nearly pure ccllulose.
results of experiments in that country
substance has been made from COM
mon sawdust by means of an acid
process, that promises to be of great
value. 1t is described as being exceed
ingly firm of texture and of great hard
ness, incapable of being bored by n
common gimlct, more impervious to the
action of the elements than the ordi-
nary metals, and practically indcstruc-
tiblc by fire.
1t is said to be stronger than timber,
and but fraction of the weight of iron
or steel. The cost of manufacture is
asserted to be SO low rs to bring it into
competition with both wood and iron.
If all these claims can be made good,
the result will be great change in
many important Industries.

GEOGRAPHICAL ERRORS.
Publishers Are Responsible for Many Mis-
takes Made by Pupils.


"The publishers of school maps" says
teacher in the st. Louis Globe Demo
crat, ''arc responsible for more errors
than any other class of people on tho
planet. They use sometimes half n
dozen different scales of sizes in a single
book, and it is impossible for children
to get a correct idea of the relative
sizes of different countries because of
their lack of uniformity in the scale. In
an atlas for school use all the maps
should be on the same scale, otherwise
most Incorrect ideas will be formed. |
recently asked IL bright boy, who had
just finished the study of geography and
laid it by because he knew all about it,
how large he supposed Arabia was. He
reflected moment, and then, with
some confidence, replied that Arabia
was about the size of Massachusetts. |
suggested the possibility of his being
mistaken, when he got his atlas and
showed me that Arabia and Massachu-
sets were the same size, that is, on the
map. lie opened his eyes when ex-
planned to him the mysteries of the
scale, and that instead of being n mere
speclS Arabia was as long as from st.
Paul to New Orleans, as wide as from
st. Louis to New York, and contained
more than onc-third rs many square
miles as the United States. lie had been
misled by the maps, as his teacher
probably had also, and thousands of
others people besides. a uniform scale
would prevent many false ideas, and if
national series of text books is ever
adopted the aliases should have that
feature prominent"

SOCIETY SLAVERY.
The Burden Placed Upon Common-Senso
Poodle by ConventionRlitice.

fcOplc ny COnvcntiOnRIittco.
1T is curious what slavery society i'm
poses on the very strongest-minded
men and women, inducing them to do
and also to leave undonc those things to
which they are either constitutionally
opposed or violently fond of. From no
mandate of polite usage do people of
high fashion suffer more ucutcly than
that unwrittcn law concerning the Civ
ing and receiving of presents, says the
Illustrated American. 1t is IL mistake
to believe that the donors are the sole
sufferers iii such cases; accepting gift
Is often the heaviest kind of burden,
and, in event of marriage, all sorts of
ruscs are rcsorted to for the sllillful
avoidance of unwclcome obligations.
however, to cngravc this fact on Il card
Is very properly deemed too brusque IL
mode OF conveying an intimation of the
TACT, and many young couple set out
on their wedding journey ovcrburdcned
by an oppressive load of souvenirs they
would very gladly have gone without.
Form, then, should certainly take q
hand III such matters, and do u little
regulating in regard to the etiquette of
gifts. A scale of privilege should exist
and be acknowledged, setting forth the
rights of some and intrusiveness of
others who essay to bestow favors of
value How quickly bride would re-
sent an offering of clothes or domestic
furniture from the same lightly consid-
cred acquaintance who adds IL costly
DIT OF silver or Il jewel to her collection
without offending the conventional
tues. Nor is she supposed ever to quite
free herself from this weight of favor
until the compliment has been returned
in full. First or last she must come
forward and earn clean receipt by
means of full reciprocity, or clear off
the debt in social attentions.
Surely the line should be drawn
somewhere, distinguishing intimates
from casual friends, who possess no
real claim and often take advantage of
opportunity to press fraudulent pre-
tcntions they know it will be difficult
to rcpcl under the circumstances.
One of the very merriest weddings
that ever took place occurred very re-
Gently in high circles on the Pacific
coast. 1t appears that the bridc-elect
was peculiarly opposed to this double
burden of conventional giving and TAX
ing, ana felt her social position secure
enough to venture slight innovation.
With this end then in view, she sent
out gracefully wordcd invitations to her
nuptials four weeks in advance, adding
an engraved footnotc which stated very
prcttily that, ut the earnest solicitation
Of her own and the bridcgrooms near
relatives, she had yielded to their
affectionate pleas to be sole donors at
her marriage, and she was, therefore,
dcbarrcd from accepting any other
souvenirs. The scheme worked like n
charm, and never was an orange
crowned maiden SO overwhelmed with
warm congratulations as this one, who
infused 4 tone of genuincness into
the handsome things her guests said, by
relieving them of a stupidity oncrous
duty.

Six Pretty Eyes.

a farmer named Shut. living near
Sulphur Springs, was up Mt the cram
berry marsh at work, says the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, when he found six pref
ty round eggs, and SO greatly pleased
was he ut their appearance that he
picked them up and put them in his
pocket to take homo to his children.
The warmth of his pocket spoiled the
eggs as playthings for his children, for
when he reached home Mr.. Shut found
that he had five little blacksnalkcs in
his pocket, one of the eggs failing to
hatch

REPEATED FAREWELLS.
Tho Russian Habit of Iiugglng and Kiss
Ing ut Parting.

Tho Russian Habit of liugging and Kiss
Ing ut Parting.
In Russia great deal of emotion is
expended over n railway journey. To
nine-tcnths of the people trip of Il
hundred miles by rail is tremendous
event, and they accordingly bid their
friends farewell with n solcmnity and
effusion unknown to the "globc trot-
ting" American. Rough men and stout
old women hug one another with the
fcrvor of bears, and half the people are
either kissing or shedding tears.
Not the least amusing part of the
spectacle to the bcholdcr are the ludi-
crous mistakes of the uninitiated. Sew
eral warnings are given before the
train leaves, and many persons take
each warning for the final one.
Thomas Stevens, in his volume en-
titled Through Russia ON n Mustang"
mentions woman who was saying her
parting word to her husband through
an open window of the car The bell
was rung. The lady leaned out; her
husbands arms were placed about her
neck. They kissed each other with
resonance, once, twice, thrice! She
drew back into the car, and both ex-
pected the train to move off.
1t did not stir, however, and an Off
Ger told the man that there were still
fifteen minutes to wait, and that
another signal would be given. Instead
of one signal there proved to be two,
and SO this loving couple treated the by
ISLANDERS to their little tableau no less
than three times, two of which were the
result of false alarms

Tho Unhappy Age.

The most unhappy period OF mar
riagc, according to French divorce sta
tistics, is for the period extending from
the fifth to the tenth year. After that
the figures drop rapidly. Only twenty
eight per cent. of couples seek divorce
between the tenth and twentieth years
of unions Only one pair In hun

sod az ever thirty and under forty years.

Tho superstitious Esoul,nau..

All Esquimaux are superstitious
about death, and. although they hold
festivities in memory of departed
friends, they will usually carry q dying
person to some abandoned hut, there
to drag out his remaining days without
food, medicine, water or attendance.
After the death OF husband or wife
the survivor cuts the front hair short
and fasts for twenty-five days.
