Waste That Is Now Valuable.

A generation ago there was hardly a
mill of any kind that was not troubled
with heap of rubbish or waste material
that it did not know what to do with.
Silk manufacturers saw the rise of this
heap with annoyance, and they took it as
afavor if any one would cart it away and
use it as fertilizer. An English in
ventor guessed at the possibilities in
this pile of refuse and set about invent
ing machinery to utilize it. Today, as a
result of his foresight and genius, 5000
persons are employed in making the
finest silk pushes. ribbons and velvets
from the refuse piles of silk mills, and
the inventor has grown rich
The cottonseed oil industry is a bet
ter known illustration of economizing
waste. but the dimensions to which the
industry has grown are not so generally
known. The annual product in oil,
cake, lint and hulls from cotton seed,
which q generation ago was allowed to
rot, is $27 900 600, -aud it could be made
greater if there was a market for the
Observation-Disclosures Press.

Caste In a EoOtbIack.

long since he entered brokers' office to
render professional services. In his alb
sence dandy young negro seated him
self in the chair and awaited his return.
When the bootblacll again appeared
on the scene, he was Mortified. As he
approached his stand the negro said.

about it."

Spelling the Administration Building.


The beauty of the Administration
building rotunda is being marred slowly
but surely. First came guidebook
stand: then cigar and tobacco showcases
obtained a footing, and last, but not
least, is the alleged model of the
treasury building at Washington, which
is being constructed of pine, blue cheese
cloth and Columbian half dollars.
The wooden base on which the coins
are being glued is extremely inartistic
itself, but the man who made it evident
ly failed to take into consideration the
size of the half dollars, and the coins are
being cut into all sorts of shapes and de-
faced in every conceivable manner to
make them fit and hide the lumber.
There are $40 windows in the thing,
and each window represents at least five
mutilated coins, entailing loss of ST.
200. To make all the edges and corners
Of the porticoes, verandas and cornices
straight will necessitate the spelling of
1900 more coins.

fence to the tin window frames. is an

nlze this fact than the visitors from the
country, for whose delectation the thing

The term Christian name" is used in

terms seems to have been used first after

were used as reaction against the use
of the saints names il the calendar. 1t
is evident that all Bill heal names are not
Christian, but the reaction went SO far
as to consider everything in the Bible as
