PALMETTO PAPER.
- W aud Valuable Addition TO Paper

At the present time when paper stock
Is scarce and the prices advancing, a
special interest is taken by paper man.
ufacturers in palmetto fiber. 1t is not
generally known that factories have
been established IN the south for the
manufacture of paper from that article.
1t is only within the last few years that
American manufacturers have paid any
attention to this fiber as paper stock.
In England and France, however, it
has been for more than thirty years in
practical use In fact, one firm in Lon
don have used over one thousand pounds
yearly for the last twenty years The
material which they use and which is
converted into notes and bonds is pro-
duced in Africa. The great expense of
procuring it has deferred manufacture
ers in this country from using it, but
since the establishment of factories
here this difficulty to great extent has
been overcome. 1t is said that the
great solidity of palmetto wood pulp
makes it more valuable than any other
wood pulp, and it is therefore recon-
mended to manufacturers for the MAX
ing OF pans, tuOs, cdShS anu Oeilet uOSh-
sis. Because of its solidity, it is also
very valuable for use in rough casts for
models and holdings. The supply of
this wood is practically unlimited; it is
now found in endless quantities all over
Florida. The leaf and stem are almost
entirely composed of valuable fibers,
which IL the raw state have a rough
appearance. These are not YER, plant
when dry, but are exceedingly flexible
when wet, and if skillfully handled can
be divided into extremely small threads.
In many instances the finer grades of
fiber resemble wool more than cotton,

PLAIN PRICE MARKS,
The Cipher system Has Nearly Gone q
Of Use.

The Cipher system Has Nearly Gone Out
of Use.
Very few stores now adhere to the
old plan of cipher marking. Expert
ence has proved that majority of Gus
toners prefer goods to be marked in
plain figures. no one liking the idea of
two sets of figures unless he is sure he
is among the favored ones who get the
benefit of the lower scale. 1t is said to
be the practice with the medical fra
ternity of some 'towns to grade their
charges TO patients according to the
style of house in which they live, and
the same idea prevails so much as to
retail stores that ladies have been
known to send servants down to stores
because they could get larger dis
count Other ladies are careful never
to dress very well when shopping, and
this shows how firmly the impression
prevails that n genuine one-price store
is novelty.
The easiest way to get over this i'm
preston is to have every article mark
ed in plain figures. 50 that the custom
err may see that one price prevails for
all This is easier than arguing that
the abuses feared are "reminiscences of
the old days when the evils of caste
were much more rampant than now,
for experience proves that the fear GER
tainly exists. no matter how absolutely
it may be without foundation. Ten
years ago part of the education of a
store clerk used to be the mastering Of
the cipher plan adopted in marking.
but this is now quite small matter.
As already stated, most stores mark
their goods in plain figures, and there
are few that do not adopt a very simple
plan for denoting the price.-St Louis

Economr wltn a ycnreance.

What a wonderful change has been
produced in all our habits by the ready
means of obtaining light out of the
material formerly extracted from
human effete iuatter. and now from
old bonesi Before its application to
matches it is calculated that every
man. woman and child spent ninety
hours yearly in getting light and fire,
or rather that they would have done
so if they had used such means as
freely as we do now. At present the
consumption of phosphorus matches
per head of the population amounts to
eight daily, and, as each match con-
sumes fifteen seconds in its use, two
minutes are spent for the whole dav.
or twelve hours for the year II we
calculate the economy of time 20 the
population of the United States by this
simple invention, each person saves
seventy-eight hours yearly, or. say, ten
working days, which. represented in
labor cost at half a dollar per day for
the sixty-two millions of the popula-
ton in the United States, gives an ag-
gregate economy of three hundred and
ten million dollars yearly.-Norti

THE ETlQUET OF DINNERS.
How the Various Dishes should ne Served
aud Eaten.

One may be refined and elegant, yet
unless continually given over TO a
round of social entertaining may find
ones self at n loss when invited to some
swell dinner where the very latest fads
are observed and more ceremonious
etiquet required than for informal af-
fairs just among the family.
On elegant tables each plate is ac-
companied by two large silver knives,
a small silver knife and fork for fish,
small fork for oysters, a tablespoon for
soup, and three large forks. The nap
kin is folded in the center with piece
of braid upon it. AS the courses are
served the knives and forks and spoons
that have been used are removed with
the plate. Fish should be eaten with a
silver fork, and if full of bones needs
the use of the knife as well. For sweet
breads, outlets, roast obeef, etc, the
knife is also necessary, but for cro-
quettes, rissoles, bondries la Refine,
timbales, and dishes of that class, the
fork is required.
When dessert is reached everything
save the table-cioth and floral decora-
tions are removed. A dessert plate with
n small silver spoon, dessert spoon
and fork, and sometimes n combination
fork and spoon for ices. is placed be-
fore each guest
Pears and apples are peeled with
silver knife, cut in quarters, and eaten
with the fingers Grapes should be
eaten from behind the half-closed
hand, the stones and skins falling into
Ahe fingers unobserved, and thence to
the plate. Oranges are eaten with a
spoon.
Salad is eaten with fork, but needs
a knife to cut large leaves that have
not been divided before serving. Cheese
is eaten with a fork, though. soft
or bread and conveyed to the mouth by
the fingers.
Salt cellars are now placed at each
plate, and il is not improper to take
salt with the knife.
If sorbets are served before the game
a dessert spoon accompanies them, but
is not among the original number
placed on the table The small after
dinner coffee spoon is used with the
tiny cups of the black beverage that
concludes all dinners.
The spoon is the most dangerous i'm
plement of the dinner so far as its
correct usage is concerned. Soup is all
ways taken from the side and is eaten
noiselessly. To push the spoon into
the mouth, either end first or other
wise, is decidedly vulgar. - Chicago

A MOUNTAIN OF BARK.
An Immense Pile of Waste That Cannot
lie Utilized


A few miles from Mannheim, New
York, there is a village supported
entirely by its vast mandatory
for changing the einehona bark
into the quinine of commerce. Sew
eral other medicinal extracts be-
sides quinine are got from the bark,
but after it Is put 10 every posi-
BILE use there remains a substance, in
bulk almost equal to the original bark.
for which no possible use has been dis
covered. Usually manufactures are
able to turn their waste products to
some sort of use-to fertilizers, to the
making of entertainments, TO the filling
of uneven ground. And if they cannot
use them in some positive way, they
may at least burn them, and so get rid
of the burden Not so with this refuse
from cinchona bark.
Years ago, according to the New York
Sun, the mandatory dumped this stuff
into the river. But the government
was called in to investigate, and found
that the worthless stuff not only killed
the fishes, but so embittered the waters
that they were not fit to drink. So it
was forbidden to the mandatory to
use the river for carrying off its waste
products. Then ground was bought,
and they started to dumping. And
now the village Is under the shadow of
a great hill, that is rapidly growing,
and will soon be little short of a noun
tain. This huge artificial mound is an
unsightly, barren thing, covering many
acres of soil that might be put to some
use. Some day an order may come to
remove the mountain into the midst of
the sea. The manufacturers hope, how
ever, that science. which has touched
so many unsightly and useless things
with magic wand, may enchant even
the bitter and worthless refuse of Gin
chona bark and make their mountain a
gold mine.
