Paperhanger's Paste.

A trade journal says the founda-
ton Of good paste is good flour. The
best white wheat flour is the cheap
est in the end, as it goes further
and works smoother.
To make bucket of paste take
about four pounds of sifted wheat
flour and stir in enough lukewarm
water to make stiff batter. Keep
on stirringuntilall Jumps disappear
and the batter is smooth. Then
pour in boiling hot water briskly
until the batter swells and has a
cooked appearance. When ready
to use thin down with cold water
until it can be spread on the paper
easily.
Some paperhangers add about
two ounces OF powdered alum, but
do not use alum in paste when made
for felts or solid gold grounds.
To make rye flour paste mix
enough sifted rye -four with cold
water to get the consistency of
cream. Stir until all Jumps dis
appear, then place ON fire to boil.
Keep stirring until it thickens and
becomes yellOwish in color. When
cool add enough cold water until
thin. DO not use until cold.
Sizing-To make strong size for
rough walls dissolve one pound of
good ground glue to a bucket of
hot water. Stir and use while
warm. Apply with an old paste
brush or whitewash brush. For
ordinary sizing ON new walls and
walls that have been papered one
half pound of glue to a bucket OF
water will be sufficient.

Some rIore of Carnegie.

President Cleveland will soon be
called upon to settle another case
of fraud with Mr.. Carnegie. The
last time Mr.. Carnegie was caught
he settled it with about $3.50, 900
and a letter favoring the imme
diate passage of the Wilson bill.
just what sort of bargain he can
make with President Cleveland this
time Is matter of some doubt. 1t
appears that the Carnegie steel
works have been making some very
poor armor plates for our alleged
war vessels and selling them to the
Government at a very high price.
The Government has fitted up some
very expensive proving grounds
down the Potomac, where all sorts
of war material are tested. Sam
pies of these armOr plates were
selected and sent to the proving
grounds, where they were fired at
by certain large and small guns
used for that purpose. These plates
have always stood the test and
given satisfaction. With this "sat-
isfaction," however, hangs a tale.
The plates were poor, but the shells
fired at them were much poorer. 1t
seems a large sized understanding
has been arrived at between Mr..
Carnegie, the manufacturer OF
shells, and certain ordnance officers
to the effect that when any of these
plates were to be tested a certain
kind of rotten shells were to be
used. These defective shells
would strike the plate and burst
all to pieces, which proved in this
particular case that the plates were
good. In some way these thieves
have fallen out and now the truth
is gradually being made known. A
Congressional investigation is about
determined upon and we trust the
entire fraud will be exposed

The "fad" of beer drinking may look
trivial. 1t is followed by the . fad of
kidney disease, as direct consequence.
And that is not trivial. That means the
grave and is solemn. The situation
would be truly alarming and threaten
the extinction of the race were it not
for two things.
1. There is always hope of reforma-
ton in the hearts of the people. When
the dangerous increase of kidney dis
ease is sufficiently sounded, there will
be reform. This will assure future
generations.
2. AS to the afflicted of to-day, a
knowledge of DR.. Fenner's Kidney and

adroit enough to resort to its use before
it is too late. Also cures female weak
