Ingredient. of Manufactured Rubber.

Ingredisnts of Manufactured Rubber.
 When we were boys blow on the head from rubber ball was matter of no consequence, but now the rubber balls played with by children are so hard that if thrown with sufficient vio- lence they can cause serious injury, If not death. This is because In the rush for low prices number of ingredients have been introduced into rubber Co such an extent that absolutely pure rubber is now something more easily imagined than found. Ordinary black rubber, which Is hard to the touch, contains a considerable quantity of lead in various forms, while the white rub Der and eraser will disclose on analysis quite large percentage of zinc.
 Rubber that is transparent Is ire quently prepared with gun cotton It is difficult to imagine whicE of these three ingredients Is the most objection able, and people who have habit of chewing rubber need not be surprised if very unpleasant feelings result. Of course rubber adulterated with mineral matter Is less elastic than the simon pure article, and 1t is no longer possible to stretch pair of overshoes as 1t used to be.
 The same thing is apparent in rubber used h machinery. Not many years ago three ply belt vas considered strong enough for any purpose, whereas now six ply has frequently to be used. The six ply does not cost so much as the old three ply used to, but on a question of cheapness in the long run it Is probable the old high priced, pure article came out ahead. in St Louis Globe Democrat.

Found by . c.nin. Detective.

The parents of little Charley Holmes missed the boy about 5 o'clock one evening, but through the remarkable intelligence of a dog the four-year-Sld was returned to their arms little after midnight.
 The distracted parents reported the case to Thomas H. Buttwell, a special policeman, about g o'clock, and he made close search of all the alleys and byways from Washington to Market streets, but nothing was seen of the little runaway.
 Finally he left matters to his dog Clip, an animal that has a record both us a detective and life saver. The dog, after being shown some clothes worn by the boy, bounded away in the darkness. Soon a sharp, joyous bark from the canine announced a discov- cry, and Buttwell hurried in the direc- ton, where he found Clip with his head between the wall of a building and a big dry goods box on the side walk, wagging bis tail vigorously.
 The policeman turned the light from his bullseye on the spot and found the lost boy sound asleep. He had wandered about for several hours, and, tired and hungry, cried himself to sleep.--San Francisco Examiner.

To Decorate a Church,

When flowers or other bright decora- tions are hard to obtain a most pleasing substitute Is afforded by the cones of pine or Norway spruce. These in their natural color are very pretty, but their effect can be greatly heightened by bronzing or gliding them The liquid gold paints sold by all dealers in artists goods are cheap and produce good rt- suits. Apply two eaats, so that the cone will be we'll covered. A cluster al them, shining against a background ol dark green, will stand out brilliantly by lamplieht For good deal of the dec orative work about arches over the al tar and in the making of crosses and similar designs they are much prefera ble to flowers or fruit as they are mors in harmony with the evergreens among which they are used.
 Provided your gliding is good, most pleasing results can be secured by giv. ing cones such covering. Try it, and you will be sure to be pleased with thls new method. It Is always well to re- member that artistic effects do not de pend upon elaborate designs. The sim plest decorations, especially in a church altar, arc ofttimes the most effective, and where taste is used rather than quantity success Is as a rule far inors certain. .-Eben E. Rexford in Ladies Home Journal.

Had to Be Honest.

The rain was falling and the cable road workmen had deserted the trench at Thirty-third street and Broadway, leaving rails and other material lying along the curbs. A small and very dirty boy, carrying a coarse canvas bag. came along. His keen eye took in a fishplate among the rails. He looked up and down the street and there was no police man in sight; so he dropped his bag and grabbed the fishplate. But the coveted piece of iron was partly un- der a grooved rail, and this rail was upside down and the concealed tip of the fishplate was in the groove.
 It would have taken six men with their iron tongs to have removed this rail, but the boy didn't know this He hunted up heavy block of gran ite pavement and once more making acareful survey of the neighborhood, gently tapped the plate with the stone. It didn't budge. He triesi, again, first on one side, thssn on tho -9sshsE st. but the hlsdsdsss;1 ss tongue was in the groove of the rail, and while il seemed to move from side to side, i, wouldn't come out
 The boy worked at it half an houl in the rain, skinned his knuckles till they bled and finally threw down the stone in disgust and walked away. The iron would have probably netted him one cent at the junk shop.-New York Herald.

Millionaire. In Society.

Admitted to be the most astonishing feature of modern society in New York Il do not say modern fashionable SO ciety, because several of the names upon its shining list are not yet seen in those of the functions enjoyed by the so called four hundred-is the number of colossal fortunes owned by individ- uals. Two men are cited who are re- ported to enjoy the revenues from estates of Sl5O, 900. 900 each. Others between twenty-five and thirty of these enviable souls-lie down at night with the agreeable reflection that they may upon tho morrow, If so disposed, make ducks asd drakes of fortunes ranging from s, ,OOo, 900 tosi0o, GOO, 900 each. As to the ''one millionares and over," they are quite common cattle in our streets. New York Cor. Ladies Home Journal.

Search has been unremittingly made for the body of George A. New ton, during the past week, but with out success. IL is now believed that he was carried through the box canyon, and will be found, if at all, some distance from the place of his supposed drowning. The river has fallen about two feet greatly i'm proving the chances of finding the remains. The efforts of the search ing party will not be relaxed. All the evidence obtained confirms the belief that Mir. Newton was drowned in attempting to ford the river. The last person who saw him alive is N. H. Price, who met him within three miles of the river and tried to induce him not to attempt to cross, but MT. Newton was obdurate and proceeded on his way. Ephraim Fuller re- turned from the river on Wednesday with the horse which MT. Newton rode, and the effects found near the scene of disaster.-ESilyer Belt.

sanlrr.l. Hia ,he Nun.

In the North woods one season there were two parties camping a little dis tance apart. One party carried into the woods bag filled with fliberts. almonds and other nuts. He hung the bag up where he thought it would be safe, and the next day visited my friend and his associates in the other camp, being absent from his own camp two or three days. When he returned my friend went back with him, and on the way was told of the treat in store for him in the shape of nuts. Upon reach ing the camp, however, hole was found in the top of the bag and every nut gone.
 It was supposed the squirrels had carried them of to their homes in the woods, and nothing more was thought of it till the next day, when my friend went to put on pair of rubber boots, hanging up in another part of the camp, and in these boots were ali the nuts nicely stored away by the squir- rels for winter use.

Remarkable Flights of Pigeons.

San Sebastian, in Spain, and Lege. in Belgium, are 6l5 miles apart, yet in 1862 a bird traversed this great dis tance in one day, making record that still stands unbroken. Fifteen other birds thrown at the same time ar rived at their loft early the following morning.
 A splendid performance was that of the pigeon which. in 1885, on being sent up from Abingdon, in Virginia, flew sos miles to Brooklyn at the rate of mile in 1 minute, AZ seconds; an other bird flew from Cresson, Pa, to New York, 243 miles, at the rate of a mile in 5S.5 seconds; another from Etampes to Lovain, on the Continent, 215 miles, at the rate of mile in BOA seconds, and still another from Arras to Antwerp, so miles, at the rate of a mile in 4S seconds.-Denver Repub- lican.

yy. ninch the flowers, we pine the gran. We gall the sapling's strength; We set the lover and his lass
 At odd suspioion's length; The authors of all i'll are we
 In city. field and sky A cradle sworn conspiracy
 To set the world awry, Beneath the toadstool all night long We brew our wicked broth; The greening bubbles rise and throng And curdle into froth; Then forth we go when morn appear, And scatter on the breeze arudgcs and hates and spites and feaxA, And ogllng iealousies- Our king is slim, or queen is sly,
 Our councillors arc vain; Our workmen wink and drink and pry, And honest work disdsin; No silly custom chains our ways- Caprice our only law, We chatter gossip all our days
 And mock the psrsons saw. When cloyed with cunning, dressed sn stata We hold a motley fair, And ape the manners of the great And loungc and strut and stare; We dsngle all our ornaments,
 And hawk some drawling tale. And nod and grin and give assents, And yawn the thing is stale- Of all the world we take our tolls. To strife and discord callous; We hide in crannies, creep through holeH And plot in every palace. Concocting mischief all our days, Some wicked triumph after, We burst with sheer conceit and craze And die in shrieks of laughter.

 Fairfax county, Va, is one of the fairest and most fatty rich of all the Old Dominion counties. George Wash ington dwelt there aforetime, and the moccasin track of the father of his country in the mud of Fairfax county was familiar spectacle 0 hundred years ago.
 believe in hero worship-that is, if one has valid, sure enough hero and none of your pinchbeck. Hero wor- ship, at least invites the human eye outward and upward, which is good thing in itself. For all of which George Washington has ever enjoyed consider able repute with me as an everyday solid silver hero, who deserved every foot of his monument l have never been able to look at the pale, plain obelisk which towers to his memory without emotion. Whether the tur- moil which fills my breast on these oc- casions arises from a recollection of his deeds, or the reflection that the huge gravestone cost $l, 1S0, GOO, have been too busy to determine. trust it Is the memory of Washington's deeds, and incline to think it is.
 But this is not after all what l set out to chronicle. To me was permitted the sight of funny old book the other day. 1t is one of the very old time court records of Fairfax county, of an hour when Lord Fairfax himself held court. The book accompanied some Yankees north during the war. They had taste for the quaint and ancient in literature and cabbaged it, to minis ter to their joy. One dying, the other growing too old to read, or his con science spurring, returns it to the clerk of that county. The book contains 909 pages, with clasps and sewn with catgut. The uhruled paper employed is of a dull, leaden color, and the writ ing is as legible as on the faraway pro- vincial day when Daniel McCarthy and John West first made the entries and sCSa sAc4t AtSo tAActCiOE III UrtdQ ltaAcu tobacco.
 l was somewhat shocked in looking over this tome to learn that E.ass0rge Washington-our George, mind you was forever bein1s indicted for failing to pay~eiis taxes. 1 had never contem- plated Washington as a taxpayer, but supposed he met his state and county affiictions with the rest of his neighbors. But it seems he did not
 The sheriff would bear with him pa tiently for time and go aronnd and try to coax it out of him, but when for bearance ceased to be a virtue and is came down Co the last chicken on the roost he would invoke the aid of the court and the recalcitrant Washington would bc indicted. This happened with disrnaying frequency, as the old record shows, and that when 1t did happen the nations parent, realizing fate, would step in and settle up. So, after all, George Washington always paid his taxes, but he made the officials weary before they got them. The old record describes a time from 1756 to 1763.-Kansas City Times.
