Held on to His Wheat.

An eccentric old bachelor died the
other day at Atchison, Kan. He was
originally brewer, but embarked in
the grain business long before Atchison
had an elevator. He had a large ware
house and lived in his Office. Among
his assets were three thousand bushels
of wheat which he had in his warehouse
five years, refusing to sell because the
price never reached his mark of value.
1.-THE care of this wheat was his fond
est occupation, and he constantly turned
it with wooden shovel until the kerr

face of a china nest egg" -

A New Kind of BIotting-Paper.

"A new process for manufacturing
blotting-paper consists in taking I'M
sized paper as it comes from the paper
machine and exposing one or both of
the sides to the disturbing action of
mechanical means for opening up it's
surface; for instance, to the grinding or
abrasive action of sand-paper, emery
wheels, wire brushes or to the action of
cards or scrapers. Such action separ-
ates and lifts the surface fbers. This
process is said to produce highly alb
sorbent or bibulous paper, especially
adapted for use as commercial blotting-
paper and for other purposes where an
absorbent paper is required, and having
its fbers separated and raised, and pre-
senting a velvety surface as distin-
guished from ordinary blotting-paper.
By this process blotting can be manu-
featured from any kind of paper, re-
