THE OYSTER LOAF.
1t Is a Pleasant rleans of Warding
Off Curtain Lecture.
New York World.


When the New Orleans man returns
from making night of il with the boys"
he provides himself with what is known
as peaeemaker and carries it home I'M
der his arm. The peacemaker is also
known as an oyster loaf and it is the chief
product of certain hostelries called oyster
saloons. The manufacture of the oyster
loaf is described in this fashion: A box
shaped loaf of bread is taken-one that
has thick, firm crust-and the top crust
is cut off so as to form q cover. Then the
inside is followed out with knife made
Tor that purpose until wall of the snowy
interior remains about half an inch in
thickness. 1t IS done so neatly that the
pastry-box looks as if it had been lined
with white velvet Into this piping OF
fried oysters are packed until the loaf is
full and then the cover Is tied on with a
white ribbon. When the whole has been
wrapped in paper the buyer fees as a bird
to his home.
The little difficulty with the keyhole
overcome. he steps into the awful pres
ence undismayed. There she stands,
grim as of yore, but without an apologize
word the errlng one climbs slowly up the
stair and holds forth the peacemaker.
She takes IT. puts down the lamp and re-
moves the cover. The deliciously favored
steam ascends like sweet incense until il
reaches her rigid noStrils, and then her
stern features relax into something like a
smile. While her lord Is hanging his shoes
on the chandelier and depositing his hat
carefully in the washbasin. she sits on the
SIDE of the bed eating the spoils of d0mes-
tic war. There are no promises to go un-
fulfilled and become the cause of future
bitterness. With oil thus turned on the
waves of life's troubled sea the bark sails
bravely on.

Public Squares.
New YORK sun.

One of the interesting manifestations of
New York is the Influence of public
squares upon almost any part of the town
in which they may lie. Not only is al
most every square in a residence quarter
surrounded by houses of character much
above others in the same region, but some-
times Tor the better part of block in sew
eral directions. the proximity of the square
sntlces to attract class of residents de-
manding neat and comfortable homes.
Stuyvesant square exercises such an in
f1uence as far east as First avenue. and the
influence of Tompkins square is felt in
like fashion.

New.York SIM.

All day long a crowd surrounds the
drinking-basin at the Thompson-street
corner of the Judson Memorial Baptist
Church in South Washington square. A
notice over the basin states that the water
is filtered and cooled by running through
pipes packed in ice. A tin cup fastened to
an iron chain hangs by the basin, but many
come with pitchers and carry the cold
water home. The crowd is as cosmopoli-
tan as the neighborhood. French, Italian,
Irish, American and negroes rub shout
ders. About o'clock in the evening the
crowd is thicSeSt, and sometimes it is so
large as to block the corner. Occasionally
a policeman keeps order, but his presence
is RI rely necessary.

what the Indians rhink.

There is something for the native
American stock to reflect upon, says
the Worcester Spy, in the remarks of
one Of the Indian girls from the Car
Isle Indian school, which was repre-
sented by three hundred and twenty
two pupils in the great parade of school
children in New York this week. This
girl had been taking in the sights of the
metropolis with others in charge OF a
white teacher. They had been down to
Ellis island to witness the landing OF
some emigrants, and after witnessing
for awhile this great horde Of foreign
ers who were crowding ashore, this
Carlisle girl remarked, to her white
teacher: Your people drove us out
centuries ago. Now these people are
coming to drive yon out. # you don't
stop them You will be in i . few centu-

Tenderness Of Heart But Partially Con

Robert Louis Stevenson, in his book
of essays entitled ACROSS the Plains,
gives an example Of what he calls the
''uncivil kindness" of Americans-that
rough friendliness which. in it's contra
dictory character, is SO bewildering tc
the foreigner newly landed. He says:

PALMETTO PAPER.
A Now and Valuable Addition to Paper
stock.

"A Now ana valuable AddlClOn TO faPer
stock.
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 a 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 pals, tubs, casks and other uten-
sils. Because of it's 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 fbers,
which liz the raw state have a rough
appearance These are not very 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,
linen or silk.

a MOUNTAIN OF BARK.
An Immense Pile OF Waste That Canno

An Immense Pile of Waste That Cannot
BE Utilized
A few miles from Mannheim, New
York, there is village supported
entirely by its vast mandatory
for changing the cinchona bark
into the quinine of commerce. Sew
eral other medicinal extracts be-
sides quinine are got from the bark,
but after it IS put to every posi-
BILE use there remains substance, in
bulk almost equal to the original bark,
for which no possible use has been dis
covered. Usually manufactures are
some sort of use-to fertilizers, to the
making of embankments, 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 1t
was forbidden to the mandatory to
use the river for carrying off it's waste
products. Then ground was bought,
and they started to dumping. And
now the village IS under the shadow OF

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

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 q

ra,cons as Mtl,tary messengers.

+, A Russian army officer has made
some very successful experiments in the
training of falcons to carry dispatches,
and general attention has been called
to the possibilities Of the use Of this
bird for messenger purposes in time of
war. The falcons SO trained carried
messages from one garrison to another
with very gratifying success. If the
use Of these birds is found to be really
generally practicable they will have
many points Of superiority over pigeons
for messenger purposes. They are
much stronger, and some Of those 50
