The paper mill at Salina, Kan, has
made from sunfower stalks several
tons of paper, which will be sent to
experts in the East. The paper is re-
garded as superior to straw paper and
marks a great departure in paper max

The mill is now buying sunhowers and
proposes to make sunfower paper Il

The Weehawken tunnel Of the West

eye. A train on entering lights up
all the lamps, and in passing along
turns out the lamps 100 feet in its

A Vienna scientist has made Q series
of interesting experiments with the
virus of such insects as bees and
wssps, and comes to the conclusion
that the effectiveness of the irritating
substance depends largely upon the
mood Of the insect. A drop OF the
fluid taken from the poison bag OF p
dead hornet, for instance, produces q
slight itching, but nothing resembling
the inflammation caused by hornet
sting with a much smaller quantity of
the same virus. This theory Is sup.
ported by the curious fact that under
the influence of rage the saliva of all
sorts of otherwise harmless animals
can become virulent enough TO pro-
duce alarming and even fatal symptoms.

"A good many people are pro-

missed positions in the custom
house, mint etc. but we can tell
the aspirants to those offices from
the rural districts, that not half
of them wall be able to pass the
civil service examination unless
they get prepared for it. Those
who are foolish enough to depend
on the promises of local politicians
for positions, are certainly too
foolish to pass any kind of exa-
mination, and we would advise to
stay at home and not try it.
The citizens of Breaux Bridge
and vicinity seem to take a serious
interest in raising good stock.
They also are interested in raising

and tina. section has already fur
nished horses that command quite
fancy prices. If our friends up
tho parish are 30 successful in
their worthy. efforts, why should
not our citizens, in this part of the
parish immitate their good exam
pie and raise good horses and
stock. II requires as much time
and expense to raise an ordinary
horse th.n it does for a blooded
one. But there IL vast differ
ence in the value after a year OF

experiment last Sunday, that has

was conceived by the boys that III
case Of fifa in the back part of
town, some three thousand feet
from the bayou, entirelys out of
the reach of the steam engine,
it might be possible for the steam
er to flush the cutters and furnish
an abundant supply OF water to
tho two hand engines. The ex-
pertinent proved to the satisfac-
ton of all that it is possible and
the idea is a splendid.o one. While
the cutters were being flushed by
the steam engine the members of
Company No 2 gave a trial to
their little engine which proved to
be in good order. We have now
three good fire companies and one
splendid Hood and Ladder Com
pany. Our fire department is as
good if not better than most of the
town the size of ours.
