Wall Papers.

Wall papers were little used in Europe
before the eighteenth century, though
they had been long before that applied
to house decoration by the Chinese. Those
that were first manufactured in the west
were adaptations of designs from Italian
brocades, and at first they were used in
an unobjectionable manner, just as hang
ings of the costlier material were en-
ployed-namely, to fill spaces between OBJ
vious structural lines-and, SO applied,
no objection could be made to their use.
On the contrary, the invention brought it
within the means Of almost every house
holder to fill blank wall spaces with
agreeable tracery and harmonious color.
The cornice, frieze and dado remained
intact.
Coigns were protected with molding or
plaster work. and the inmate might feel
that he was living in a built room and
not in a bandbox. But gradually the
wall features disappeared. Paper crept
over everything except window and door
openings, even into the very angles OF
the walls, and it is nothing uncommon
now on entering a salon of considerable
pretentions and proportions to find the
walls closely covered with paper from
floor to ceiling, save a narrow skirtine
board to protect the plaster from the
housemaid's broom and Il cornice reduc'
ed to meager molding,-Paper Makers

The Burmese are by all accounts an in
iolefit people. One traveller goes 80 far
As to say that one days work and four
aays' rest is their idea of industry. The
,ame traveller, Mr.. E. ID. Cunning, author
of I'm the Shadow of the Pagoda," de
,cribes them as much given to kite flying,
an amusement which they contrive to en-
10Y with a minimum of bodily exertion.
Their method of operations is very SIM
pie. Says Mr.. Cunning:
You pare down two IL inch snps OF
bamboo, tie them at their centers Cross
wise, run a thread round the four tips
and paste upon this frame one thickness
of paper. Tie nail or a small screw nut
to one corner, and your kite is made.
The altitude which well made kite OF
this kind will reach is wonderful, and the
lightest breath of wind will take 1t up.
A hundred and fifty or 200 yards OF strong
sewing thread wound on skeleton reel
of A inches in diamater and 8 inches in
length complete the equipment.
Then, having started the kite by proc
ess of gentle playing, you squat down In
the middle of the street, so as to keep your
thread clear of the houses, and let the
kite help itself.
If you have fastened the thread with
cunning, the kite rises almost perpen-
dicularly, bringing you JOY in the envy
and admiration of those who cannot
make a sleeper angle than 40 degrees.
The kite having taken out all the thread,
you sit and contemplate it poised still
and clear in the upper air for few
hours.
In Rangoon, on still morning OF
evening, hundreds of kites float over the
Burmese quarter of the town, some near
ly out of sight, others lowering just
above the roofs. When driving, your
syce has frequently to halloo out OF the
way middle aged man who is backing
slowly down in midstreet coaxing his
kite up. He goes about the business
with ponderous solemnity that raises
it to the dignity of science.

LITERARY NOTES.

The author of "The Dawn OF a New
Era In America" wants the govern
ment to retain possession of all mining
lands and operate the mines, and re
serve them ss a treasure resourse to
draw the wealth of the nation from.
This sounds very nice but what is to
become of the miner? so far the enter
prise and industry of the individual
has explored the bowels of the earth
and drawn forth its gold and silver and
other precious metals. This author
simply reflects weak ray of Bellamy'
ism. 1t Is not the purpose Of civilized
governments to do that for Its subjects
which they can do better for them
selves. 1t Is the duty of enlightened
governments to do that for its con-
stituents which 1t can do better for
them than they can do for themselves,
II thereby their liberty aud happiness
can be better promoted.
Omniverous daily newspaper reading
is undoubtedly fatal to the success OF
current literature In the form of ephem-
eral magazines and books. The latter
to compete with the newspaper must
possess great solid worth. Many per-
sons pay money for books and periodi-
Gals which they need never take the
time to read had they taken time by
the forelock and read cheap daily
newspaper. The telegraph news Ia

newspaper that all important discus-
sions In congress and other public con-
ventions, all the utterances OF great
thinkers and writers are recorded clear

he who runs may read the thought Of
the whole world in the daily mirror OF

Kidney Trouble.

sotf1e most excruciating pain comes
from arrangement of the kidneys.
This is the testimony Senator Henry
c. Nelson, of New York as to the value
of Allcock's Porous Plssters ia such
cases:
"On the 9th of February, 1885, was
taken with violent pain 10 the region
of the kidneys. / suffered such agony
that could hardly stand up. AS soon
as possible applied two Allcock's Por-
Gus Plasters, one over each kidney, ana
laid down. In an hour, to my surprise
and delight, the pain had vanished and
| was well. 1 wore the plasters for q
day or two as a precaution, and then
removed them. / have been using
Allcock's Porous Platers in my family
for the last ten years, and have always
found them the quickest and best rem
edy for colds, strains and rheumatic
affections. From my experience L be-
lieve they are the best plasters in the
world"
Brandreth's Pills tone up the system.

In one of his lectures before the
College of Surgeons, London, Pro
fessor Erasmus Wilson states that
grayness of the hair-canities or po-
acknowledgements, like badness, on
defective powers of the skin, and the
indications for treatment are entirely
the same-namely, to strengthen the
part and at the same time to strength
en- the patient. AS a resort for tempo
rarily staining the hair, Professor
Wilson mentions a weak solution of
permanganate of potash, a lotion
holding in suspension sulphur and ac'
etate of lead or the so called "eau des
fees" consisting of the hyposulphites
of lead and soda. The hair, as is well
known, contains sulphur, and solu-
ton of lead brought into contact with
sulphur produces sulphide of LEAF
which is black in color. Sulphur and
acetate of lead in suspension and so
luton in water supply both the ele-
ments necessary for the artificial col
grafton of the hair.

Huge Monsters weighing Prom One Hun
dred to slx Hundred Pounds.
Chris Schmidt, a longshoreman,
caught three black sea bass recently,
weighing 221, 837 and 976 pounds re-
spectively. After hooking his game he
tied the end of the line to a powder keg
and let the big fish run around in the
bay until exhausted, when he pulled it
in and killed it.
This land locked bay of San Diego
and the kelp bed at the harbor mouth
is a favorite home for the black sea
bass, or Jewish, as it is commonly
called. Catching these fish is excellent
sport They weigh from 100 to 600
pounds and in appearance are much
like the small mouthed black bass of
eastern lakes. A long hand line the size
of window sash cord, large hook OF
quarter inch iron, baited with white.
figh, an AK and rowboat are all the
tackle needed for this sport.
The baited hook is dropped to the
bottom in 80 feet or more Of water A
vigorous bite and the fish almost hooks
itself. Then the fun begins. The long
lire plays out with the rapidly OF a
whale line when the harpOon strikes
home. The Jewish tires more quickly
than the whale. The man in the bow
Of the rowboat begins to take up the
slack line. This rouses the fish Away
he darts again and stops. The slack Is
pulled in again The efforts of the fish
become less vigorous. The line is made
fast in the bow The helmslnan is
warned TO look out. The fish begins to
run away The line tightens. This time
it does not play out The fish, feeling
the weight of the boat, strives hard to
get away from it.
Faster and faster goes the boat as
The captive fish tows it seaward until
the bow is pulled down almost beneath
the waves, and 1t is sometimes necessary
to put out the oars and attempt to re-
lard the dangerous progress BY degrees
the fish gets tired coping with such
heavy odds and finally allows itself to
be drawn alongside the boat a blow
on the head with an AK ends the fight

There Is not much excuse to appoint

form echool. There are plenty OF Re-
publican farmers In the state, good
farmers who come into actual contact

prove so profitable and trucculant to

AIliRatOrs,

Few animals are more friendless than
the alligator With claims to neither
beauty nor intelligence, he is not hand
some enough to win our admiration nor
dangerous enough to make US respect
him. For hours ne basks in the sun,
floating ON the surface of the water or
lying on some muddy bank, apparently
as useless as the log of wood he so much
resembles. Every mans hand is raised
against him. He is killed by the tourist
in pure wantonness, simply because he
affords mark for the ever ready rifle.
Hunters slay alligators by thousands
for their hides and teeth. Indeed IT IS
for these alone that the alligator is
rrized. think. however, the alligator
plays a part in the drama OF animal life
for which he is especially adapted. 1t
is said that on the lower Mississippi
river alligators feed on muskrats, and
the recent decrease in the number of al
ligators has been followed by corre-
spending increase in the number OF
muslIrats, which seriously weaken the
levees by burrowing in them. II this
be true, the alligator is here of direct
value to the planter and should there
fore be protected by law.-Frank M.
