New Use for Marsh Grass.

A st. Paul, Mimi, special says that
through the efforts of an inventor Of
Iowa articles which can be manufact-
ured from common slough grass are
attracting considerable attention. The
farmers of the Northwest have been
paying large prices for binding twine,
and it is this fact probably which start
ed George Lowry to investigating the
the uses to which common marsh grass
could be put. He has made several
inventions which are an assured sue
cess. The binding twine made by his
method is strong, durable and. above
all, cheap. While the material from
which ordinary binding twine is made
costs from $120 to $3.50 per ton, slough
grass costs from So to S. a ton, and
the cost of making the twine from
either material is about the same. A
company has been organized for the
manufacture of this twine.
The company will also make cord
age of all kinds, bagging and mating
from marsh grass. Marsh grass makes
good rope in any size, and formed into
small twine, it can readily be woven
into coarse cloth of great strength.
which can be put to variety of uses.
The cotton planters of the United
States annually raise about 2. 1000. 600
bales of cotton, which require about
60. 900, 900 yards of bagging. The jute
bagging costs about 8 cents yard.
The grass twine bagging can be made
at about cent a yard less.

which it will be divided when it comes

When you give begger penny be-

build a monastery which shall give q
bed and square meal to every beggar
because he is a beggar. 8. How the
begger increases and multiplies and
blackens all the roads in consequences
of this humane treatment. 4, When
you hang the beggar, drop the beggar
into the river, pillory the beggar, and
fog the beggar, because he is o beg
gar. 5. When you found societies for
relief, but continue to fog the beggar
because he is beggar. 6. When you
send checks to the societies, but con-
tinue to fog the beggar because he is
a beggar. z. When you send the beg
gar to prison because he is beggar.
but give him penny when nobody is
looking. 8. When you resolve to assist
none but the deserving. Yet the beg
gar continues because he is a beggar.
9. When you give up sending checks
about, give nothing to the beggar be-
cause he is beggar, and try personal
service among the classes which breed
the beggar We are now beginning
the last chapter and it really seems
hopeful.

You're quite mistaken" replied
Lymberleg, springing forward to catch
Aurora as she swooned and fell.
But from the glance he gave me as
he passed out of the room, with the
lovely burden in his arms, I'm inclined
to think that Lymberleg was only too
well aware of Mr.. Williamson's pro-
fession.
"Oh. horrors!" 1 exclaimed, turning
to Camilla. ''What, oh, what shall
we doP"
"Why, MIR. Lushington, I think'-
she was perfectly cool and as calm as
a summers morn-'I think that we
had better make the best of it."
That's just my opinion!" calculated
Mr.. Buggs.
But Aurorar roared, dashing out
of the room and rushing upstairs.
burst into her room and found her
lying on the sofa, with Lymberleg
leaning over her, clasping her little
hand in his.
Away" she cried. go to your
Camilla!''
But, my dear. it wasn't my fault.

'.Not another word, Roderick Lush
ington. Your perfidy is too apparent.
Go; make no excuses. You contrived
it well. but you can not deceive me.
Go, and never let me see your face
again"
Mr.. Rubilyps came in just then and
assisted" me out of the room. Ca
milla met me in the passage.
"Oh. Roderick! Can't you love me
just littlep" she cried, throwing her
self into my arms.
l looked at her critically for five
minutes. Then I spoke.
'tMrs. Lushington," said I, in a
voice choked with emotion, we're
married and had better make the best
of it. You are lovely and ought to be
loved; but I'm so constituted that I
can't love but one, and that one, I
fear, will soon be Mrs. Lymberleg."
Camilla groaned and howled melo-
diously. Then tore myself from her
arms and fled to my room.
Next morning Mrs. Lushington and
her husband left Glamzhell Beach and
went to New York. A fortnight later
we returned to Vrugo, where we still
remain; and so ends my story; but if
the reader wishes to know the fate of
the beautiful Aurora 1 must inform
you. with half suppressed groan, that
she is the wife of Nicholas Lymberleg.
