A Growing Industry.

The manufacture of rubber bands
has attained considerable proportions
in this country. One indication of the
growth of the industry is that they are
now being sold by the pound, where,
thirty years ago, they were priced by
the gross. The price has gradually
fallen from about seven dollars to one
dollar and twenty-five cents per pound.
The red, or maroon bands, of which
very few are made, are the best. GRAY
bands are often cured with oxide of
iron, and sometimes with potash. The
consumption of rubber bands is con-
stantly increasing. Metropolitan stores
sending out small packages prefer them
to Irvine, which takes time to manipu-
late. Their use in offices has become
almost universal. They are made from
the tiniest ring to length of five inch
es, with width of three quarters of an
inch. The life of band is about eight
cen months, but in government use a
better band is demanded, which lasts
much longer.

AQueer Composition.

A Chicago paper tells a strange story
Of a contractor of that city. While at
work he swears and drinks like good
fellow, or rather bad fellow, but as
soon as ne has reached his home and
donned his feminine attire he is
changed man. He is not man; he is
a woman-so far as dress and manners
can make him one. He puts on corsets
and form improvers, shaves and pow
ders his face, pierces his big red ears
and inserts in them great golden ear
rings. He has spent much of his earn
ings for gaudy bali dresses and evening
wardrobes; spent his time and wealth
in dressing himself up in the height Of
the feminine fashion, in COMPRISING
his waist, in shortening his steps, in
whitening his hands and face, in learn
ing womanly grace, and, in short, in
making himself woman, with all her
little graces, poses and foibles. He is
a strong mana man who has done
manual labor almost all his life, a man
who can outclimb, outwrestle, out
drink and outrun ninety-nine men out of
a hun bred of his neighbors- He is said
to be worth one hundred thousand dol
lars

A Singular Delusion.

William Hartman, a resident of Titus
vile, Pa, committed suicide few days
ago from melancholy conviction that
he was his own grandfather. Here is
the singular letter that he left: 81
married widow with grown-up
daughter. Ny father visited our house
very often, fell in love with my step
daughter and married her. So my IA
Their became my son-in-law and my
stepdaughter my mother, because she
was my fathers wife. Some time after
ward my wife had son. He was my
fathers brother-in-law and my uncle,
for he was the brother of my Step
mother. My fathers wife,. e.. my
stepdaughter-had a son. He was, of
course, my brother, and in the mean
time my grandchild, for he was the
Son of my daughter. My wife was my
grandmother, because she was my
mothers mother. / was my wife's
husband and grandchild at the same
time. And as the husband of per-
sons grandmother is his grandfather,
was my own grandfather"

A VERY important discovery of free
milling ore, running fifty dollars in gold
to the ton, has recently been made near
Monterey, Mex, by California miner.
The first assay of this ore gave thirty
six ounces to the ton. A vein three feet
thick has since been opened, which car
ries fifty ounces to the ton. Heretofore
mining in that state has been carried
on exclusively for low grade fuxing
ores, but the existence of gold-bearing
mines was until recently unknown.

AN idea which has been suggested il

AN idea which has been suggested in
connection with the worlds fair has al
ready been received with much favor in
Maine, and, if adopted, would probably
result in making the exhibit from that
state one of the most interesting in the
exposition. The Importance of the
game and fishing to be found in the
Maine woods is universally conceded to
be one of the most attractive features
of New England to the visitor who will
take the trouble or, rather, the pleas
ure, of going where those inducements
are most plentiful. It has been sug-
gested, therefore, that Maine could rem
der its Chicago exhibit both novel and
interesting by presenting an ideal scene
of a sportsman's camp in the dense
forests which cover so much of that
state.

MANY eastern drug stores have adopt
ed the precautionary measure of hav-
ing two persons attend the preparation
of any prescription containing poison
GUS drugs. The Medical Record calls
attention to the Harris murder trial in
New York as an illu stratlon of the i'm
portance of this check, because 'if a
single clerk received the prescription,
prepared the capsules and delivered
them it might readily have been
claimed by the defense that mistake
had been made by the druggist. As it
was, the druggist. was able to go on
the stand and testify that an assistant
had also read the prescription and
seen the amount of morphine which it
called for properly weighed and dis
penSed,"

Do you utilize your base burners by
cooking your breakfast foods over night?
Rice, oatmeal, cracked wheat and such
cereals are improved very much by slow
and thorough cooking. Put them on in
a double boiler and let them cook all
night, stirring two or three times to in
sure uniformity.
Those who have ovens may have many
excellent changes. Beans baked over
night make decidedly palatable dish
for change.
Boil the beans in soda while getting sup
per, drain and place them in deep dish,
add salt, pepper and tablespoonful of
sugar. and cover with thin slices of bacon.
Be sure to add plenty of water as they
dry out rapidly. Stir occasionally or the
top will not be cooked.
The handiest way to keep darning
yarns is in ''cuts" rs you do floss or en-
broidery silk. Take of part OF your
skein and cut it in two pieces, weave it in
the center as they did their linen thread
in olden time, and your yarn is always
ready and the threads are not drawn and
strained as they are when wound.
To make erasers for children's black
boards at home. cut flannel or cloth in
strips about two inches wide, fold the
strips, then wind in circle with two fat
surfaces about three inches in diameter,
fasten the cloth firmly and tack on a lit
tie strip for hanger. The surface made
by the folded edges is the best. These
are as nearly dustless as anything you
will find. The girls who went an indivi-
dual eraser at school may make these
very pretty by cat stitching the last round
and using ribbon for hangers. Then you
can have it on your arm and in rapid
work You will be ahead on not having to
Uait for an eraser.

that there is not an institution of learn
ing, not woman's club or woman's
art class, not university law school or
woman's annex, not diploma granted
at Barnard or certificate of profcien-

ence, its liberation and triumphs to the

well, of England and New York, and
the other women students of 1850, who

A CURIOUS lawsuit has been instituted
in Shenandoah, Va. A few Sundays
ago the wife of David Jones brought
their infant child to the Episcopal
church to be baptized. Before the GER
emory began Jones arose and ex-
claimed: Hold on! If you christen
that child you do it against the wish
and religion Of the father. I am an
English Baptist" The wife said it was
her wish to have the child christened,
and the minister proceeded with the
ceremony. The husband then had the
clergyman arrested under law which
states that father has the spiritual
and educational control of his child un-
til it arrives at the age of maturity.
The case has been sent to court, where
it will be tested.

board the alarm will be rung by an

All man has to do in order to be sure

ing, and, when the times for keeping

LIVING on Western mountain, Una
tilla county, Ore, there is a young man
recently from Ohio who has two sisters
who are not related in the least by
blood. This strange state of things
came about in this. way: His father had
one daughter by his first wife; first
wife died. He married again, and
dying he left one son, the gentleman in
question. His mother married a second
time, and one daughter was the result
of the union. Each of the daughters is,
of course, a half sister to the son, al
though there is no blood relation be-
tween the two.

9RUABLERs are of all people the most
depressing. 1t is not necessary for you
yourself to be personally found fault
with to make it worse than misery to be
with them. 1t is the atmosphere they
create about themselves, the life they
give you to lead. And when their cross
humor translates itself into personal
displeasure and quarreling over trifes,
then are they the very scourges of their
time and place, and no one can be
blamed who tries to escape from them.
