A Panier. .Mache HosnitaI

Papier-mache, which can be COM
pressed almost TO the solidity of iron,
promises to come into vogue as a
building material. A portable hospi-
tai large enough 30 accommodate twen-
ty beds has been made of compressed
paper. Every part of the building is
numbered, and the whole can be
packed up in such way as to he car
ried by three transference trucks.
These trucks are so planned as to form
the bases of the hospital, T-shaped
ioists of iron keeping the foundation
steadily in place. Over this comes a
flooring of compressed and vanished
paper boards, which adapt themselves
admirably to cleanliness. The walls
and ceiling are of the same material,
while the beams, composed of thin
galvanized iron wire, connect the
parallel walls. Holes are bored be-
tween the walls and the ceiling for
purposes of ventilation, and the win
dows are made of wire gauze with
transparent coating. Such a building
would be of great service in tropical
countries, especially if in addition to
its lightness and strength it can be
made freproof New York Telegram.

WISE WORDS.

Superstition tenders n man fool,
and skepticism makes him mad
There is no substitute for thorough
going, ardent and sincere esrnestness.
The less man thinks OF knows
about his virtues the better we like
him.
Honorable industry always travels
the same road with enjoyment and
duty.
To love TO preach is one thing to
love those TO whom we preach, quite
another.
Poets are the mirrors of the gigantic
shadows which futurity casts upon the
present.
The strokes Of the pen need delibera-
ton as much as those of the sword
need swiftness.
From the body of one guilty deed a
thousand ghostly fears and haunting
thoughts proceed.
Every burden has two handles--one
smooth and easy to grasp, one rough
and hard to hold.
The wealth of q man is the number
of things he loves and blesses and by
which he is loved and blessed.
He that honors his neighbor on ac-
count of his money will in the end part
company with him in disgrace.
Long customs are not easily broken /;
he that attempts to change the course
of his life very often labors in vain.
The world is seldom what it seems
To man, who dimly sees, realities ap-
pear as dreams, and dreams realities.
The martyrs TO vice fax exceed the
martyrs to virtue, both in endurance
and in number. So blinded are we by
our passions that we suffer more to be
lost than to be saved.
Offer to the world n large, generous,
true, sympathetic nature and, rich or
poor, you will have friends, and will
never be friendless, no matter what
catastrophes may befall you.

How to Secure Confidence.

This from an authority: "Don't
ask questions, don't mention names,
listen occasionally, and you will find
yourself society favorite." The first
"don't" seems to have been most cor
rectly placed. There is nothing which
creates a pleasanter impression, and
which really leads TO the most complete
confidence than the tact which listens
sympathetieally to all companion
will say, but never probes deeper by
an impulsive interrogation. One learns
to trust such an acquaintace, and feels
in her company peculiar sense of be
curity that is yeDy satisfying, Brook

Oneer Matrimonial Methods.

A convenient way they have in Hol-
land and Batavia of tying the matri-
monial knot when the lady is in ono
country and the gentleman in tho
other. For the Hollanders are such a
thrifty industrious people that they
like not to lose time even over the most
solemn services. The marriage is af-
fected by procuration. The watches
of the two parties-the one say in Am
sterdam and the other in BataVia-are
regulated to accord, or the difference
in longitude allowed for. Then at the
same instant of time the marriage cere-
mony is performed in both places, and
the thing is done,

In the great momentum of the wo-
man movement, which gains new re-
cruits every day, the Chicago Herald
protests that one is inclined to over
look the fact that woman was power
morally, socially and intellectually in
the, Fifteenth Century as we'll as the
nineteenth; that the doors of univers-
tiles were open to her not only to study
but TO teach within their sacred pre-
eincts. In the University of Salamanca
she has had q place, and when Isabella
of Spain desired to. acquire the Latin
tongue it was to woman she turned
for tutor. In Italy, even in the
Thirteenth Century, noble Florentine
lady won the palm of oratory in a pub
lie contest in Florence with learned
doctors from all over the world.

Two Mammoth AppIe Trees.

The two largest apple trees in the
State of New York are both near the
town of Wilson. The largest was
planted in 1915, and thirty-three full
barrels of apples were once picked
from its branches in a single season.
The other is on the farm of j. G. o.
Brown, and yielded twenty barrels Of
"choice" fruit and five barrels of
"culls" in the season Of 1891. st,

Can Telegraph to China.

One can now telegraph from New
Orleans to any of the principal cities
of China direct, if he wants to, and is
willing to pay the charges. The Chi
nese land system has made connections
with the Russian system and the Celes-
tial empire is now no further away than
across the street. The charge for tele-
graphing to China is said TO be S2 a
word, plus the cable rates across the
ocean, and the service is rapid and
satisfactory. Kunan is the only pro-
vince of China that is not reached by
telegraph It remains indomitably
opposed to all foreign innovations.

The late Doctor Agnew, of Phila-
delphia, said that catarrhal affections
were almost unknown among the
Quakeresses whom he attended, and he
ascribed it to the fact that the Quaker
bonnet protects the back of the head
and the nape of the neck from cold air.
He might have gone further and added
that the Quaker women have come
nearer than any others of their sex TO
discovering the perpetual bloom of
youth. One meets in and about Phila-
delphia scores of Quakeresses who re-
tain in old age fresh, unwrinlSled faces,
clear eyes, and erect figures. The
peace and health of their spirits seem
TO conform face and figure.

BY simple invention, just adopted,
every lighthouse on the coast is to
identify itself hereafter by flashing out
its number. This will relieve mariners
from the necessity of remembering
many combinations of colors and also
from uncertainty in ascertainine
whether light seen dimly through the
fog is white or red The wonder is,
observes the New Orleans Picayune,
that such useful and simple device
was not adopted long ago.

MY QUEST.

We journeyed ioyously, young Time and I,

But this know,

some night,
Time slipped away,
vanlshed--this airy winged sprite
Who will not stay

And left me only hope-"we meet again"

Or should pray the CLOCKS, "when next ye

Some passing hour,
with both hands seize this truant, Timel

I'd clip his wings, he could not hy so fast.
Already golden summer Is o'erpast"
At length we met, both gray and bent and

With greetings cold,
The snowhakes fell from out the leaden sky,
And In my ears
The winds sad spirit seemed to sigh,

Who now art old, but in thy youth lost

1t is said that the Austrian authori-
ties are very much concerned about
the constant heavy immigration from
their territories, and are doing all they
can to check it by publishing harrow
ing accounts of the miseries undergone
by their emigrants in foreign countries.
They have lately published state-
ment to the effect that Austrian emil
grants in Brazil have appealed to their
consul at Rio de Janeiro to request
the Brazilian Government to give
them work or assistance. As the re-
suit of this Intervention, up to the
first harvest, they were provided with
fifteen days work per month, at
nominal daily wages of two forins
eighty-four kreutzers, or about $1.1S.
This however, explains the New
Orleans Picayune, was not paid in
ready money, but in paper, which
shopkeepers would only accept at such
heavy discount that the unfortunate
laborers were barely able to secure the
necessaries of life. The present
Brazilian Government, moreover,
have not kept the promise made by
their predece ssors to assign land to
settlers and Advance money for its
cultivation. Consequently, the inn
migrants have been reduced to desti-
tuition through the increase in the
priA of provisions. the bad harvest,

A Romantic Story.

A wedding recently took place in St..
Petersburg, Russia, which excited very
general interest. 1t was the marriage
of the daughter of the Semenyosky
Regiment of the Imperial Guard with
Lieutenant Alexander Redansky of the
Eighty-sixth Infantry Regiment. The
young lady, who is now eighteen yearE
of age, and has always gone by the
name of Semenovskaia, taking her
patronymic from the regiment, was
found as baby, lying in ditch, by
the men of the Semenovsky Regiment
as they We're marching from Plevna
upon Constantinople in December,
1878. The little Turkish foundling
was tenderly cared for, and after a
time baptized into the Russian Ortho-
dox religion, her godfather being the
Surgeon of the regiment and her god
mother the Princess Eugene of Old
enburg. The regiment intrusted her
education 10 qualified persons, and the
bride now brings to her husband
handsome dowry, provided by
her military guardians-St. James's

The Chinese Legation at Washington.

The Chinese Government maintains
q large establishment at Washington,
while Japan and Korea have both pur-
chased handsome residences, for their
diplomatic representatives. OF the
three, the Chinese legation retains the
most of its Oriental flavor, and has
been established in Washington since
1878. During this period these Celes-
tial diplomats have figured not only
prominently. but most picturesquely,
in the gay society of the Capital. With
admirable zeal and doubtless the better
to study our unfamiliar institutions
they have plunged into the vortex of
fashionable life; and to,l looker-on in
this Vienna they present some de-
liciously humorous incongruities, no.

They give dinners, balls, and theater

participate with solemn affability in
