How a Good Quality of Paper Is Made In

Some of the paper products from oat
refuse. according to the method pursued
in Scotland, are by no means deficient
in the qualities of strength and service

pose. The process consists in first i'm

other seeds with which they are fire.
qucntly more or less mixed. and which,
if not separated, materially deteriorate
the quality of the paper: it is of adj
vantage, too, to have the water very
thoroughly stirred, as this facilitates
the separation OF the foreign seeds, and
allows them to float to the surface. The
oat husks having gradually settled, the
surface scum and any floating matters
are drawn off by an overflow pipe at
the top of the tank, or skinned off by
any convenient implement. after which
the water is well drained off by a waste
water pipe at the bottom of the tank
and beneath Il perforated false bottom,
or fitted with strainer which retains
the husks. The husks may be left to
steep in the water five to ten hours after
removing the scum, as this. by softer
ing, helps to loosen the silica from the
fiber and facilitates the subsequent boil
ing process.-N. Y. Sun.

1t Sometimes Leads Her to Perform Fool

An incident occurred few evenings
ago which not only illustrates the fem
mime folly of being unreasonably afraid,
but also shows how respectable man
may, without any cause, be placed in &
very embarrassing and unjust position.
A well-known citizen of Roxbury was
on his way home about ten o'clock. His
way led him past a wide open field in a
district not beyond reproach for the
character of its residents. The night
air was very sharp, and over the vacant
lot the wind was blowing a miniature
gale. The man quickened his step, ard
finally, to keep warm and to get be-
You'd the ungenial locality as quickly as
possible, broke into rapid run.
He had not noticed that solitary
woman was approaching from the OPP
posite direction. But no sooner did he
begin to run than the woman, who lad
apparently been watching his advance
in fear and trembling, rushed into the
middle of the street, threw up her
hands wildly and uttered a series of
piercing shrieks.
The mans situation was awkward
and disagreeable.
If a policeman should appear he would
find it a difficult thing to explain the
woman's screams and establish his own
innocence; or if some of the belligerent
neighbors in that locality were at
tracted to the scene by the woman's
silly hullabaloo he might be given u
sound thrashing for supposed insult
to her, without an opportunity Of say
ing word in explanation.
These thoughts flashed through the
gentleman's mind. His indignation,
however, soon overcame every other
feeling, and, stopping short in his
course, he said to the woman: Madam,
if you'll come back to the sidewalk, and
stop your screaming, you'll be doing a
much more sensible thing than your do
ing now. Permit me to say that you are
making fool of yourself l was mere

night without an escort or else to get

Gus way. The gentleman found that he

GONE WITH tine PINS.

Where is the thrill Of last nights fears
Where is the stain of last weeks tcars
Where is the tooth that ached last yearf
Gone where the lost pins so to;
For last nights riddle is all made plain.
The sunshine laughs at the long past rain,
And the tooth that ached hath lost its pain
That's what our troubles grow to.
Where are the clothes that we used to wear?
Where are the burdens we used to bearr
Where is the baldhead's curling hairf
Gone where the pins disappear to;
For the style has changed and the clothes are
new,
The skies are wearing brighter blue,
The hair doesn't snarl as 1t used to do,
And the parting has grown more clear, to-
Where are the bills that our peace distressed?
Where is the pin that the baby "blessed:"
Where are the doves in last Gears nest:
Where have the pins all gone to:
On the old bills paid are the new ones thrown
The haby's at school with her pins outgrown
And the squads are running nest Of their own
You can't bring EN- back il you want to.
We can stand the smart Of yesterday;
To-day worse ills we can drive away;
What's was and is brings no dismay
For past and present sorrow;
But the burdens that make Us groan and sweat
The troubles that make us fume and fret,
Are the things that haven't happened yet
The pins that we'll find tomorrow

that the only way to drive her away
