The latest railroad boom is the
topic of conversation among us, but
very few have any faith in those ru-
mors, because they have been reno
waited and rejuvenated for this last
five years and nothing came of it,
There is one thing sure, a railroad,
whether it goes up the Weiser river or
from Payette through our settlement,
will not only give us closer market
and nearer shipping point, but facili-
tate our mail communications. AT
present we are worse off IN that re
spect than any other. part of this
county. We can get our mail only
once a week and county papers are
five days old before they reach us,
not saying anything about the delay
of business letters, their late arrival
causing very often unpleasantness
and sometimes serious loss. Many
of us will rejoice when the iron horse
makes its presence known by the
comfort and convenience that follows
in its wake; but, good Lord there is
no chance for getting it within the
next ten years, so these blowhards
may just as well turn their grand
promises and speculations to another
point OF the compass Here is to
your health, brother Bates. E. NJ.

QUEER THINGS OF PAPER.
Nhere Seems to be No Limit to Its Adapta

Ehere Seems to be No Limit to Its Adapta-
 bilfty fn These Days.
 Patents have been granted for mak- ing innumerable queer things out of paper-such as carpets, electric con 3uits, lead pencils, roofing materials, car wheels, boats, pails, coffins, brushes and combs. Mattresses are manufac- tured out of paper pulp and ordinary sponge, springs being imbedded in the composition. A cloth paper for bank notes has been invented. the notion be- ing to render such money less perish able and rnore difficult to counterfeit. Paper is used nowadays for architectur- al decorations, interior and exterior. Cornics, panels and friezes are nodded out of the pulp. Paper collars, which used to be produced in such enormous numbers, seem to have gone out of fashion.
 One of the most successful of recent inventions is process for making arti- feial straws out of paper for drinking iced beverages Everybody knows that real straws are apt to be de fective; but the limitations never fail to draw. After they are rolled they are treated with paraffine, to render them watertight and non-absorbent. The same patent covers mouthpieces for cigarettes, which are manufactured in similar fashion.
 Medals are made of paper and colored to initiate silver or bronze Cigar boxes are manufactured from the same ma { terial, favored with cedar oil to give them the customary smell. Hollow telegraph poles of paper pulp are new invention. They are coated with siii- cate of potash to preserve them. The making of paper bags is an enormous industry in this country. Four billions of paper bags are used in the United States every year. Of these the Paper-Bag trust turns out sixty per cent. Not long ago a process was devised by which three-eighths of an l inch of material could be saved in the cutting of each bag. On this account i the trust obtained complete new equipment of machinery at an immense cost, but the saving for the first year by that small economy of three-eighths of an inch was seventy thousand dol lars. One machine for making paper bags will cut and finish eighty thou sand bags day. The business of mar ufacturing envelopes is even greater The envelopes'a are cut, printed, gummee and folded by the same maehipe. ' WoshiMGtQn St1{, x .-s.;

 's0ne of the greatest curiosities l ever met with in my travels, said Prof Philip L. Newman, of Cincinnati, to 8 St. Louis Globe-Democrat man recent ly, lis the sunhower that blooms in the northern portion of Siberia, where the earth is continually covered with & coating of snow and frost. This won derful plant shoots forth from the frozen soil on the first day of the year and reaches the height of about three feet; 1t blooms on the third day, re- mains open twentyfour hours, and then returns to its original elements. It shines for single day, then the stem, leaves and flower are converted into snow. The leaves are three in number. The flower is star-shaped, its petals about as long as the leaves and about half an inch wide. On the third day the extremities of the leaves show little glistening specks, like diamonds, about the size of the head of pin. These are the seeds of this queer flow CT. I was told that on one occasion some of these seeds were gathered and hastily transported to St. Petersburg. They were there placed in bed of snow, where they were kept until the first of the following year, when the sunhower burst forth and was greatly admired and wondered at by all who savx if H

 After setting forth the results of his researches into the ancient music of Israel, Rabbi Wolfers speaks of it's spiritual power. No adequate idea, 5 he says, ''can be formed of the grand influence of the temple music upon the worshippers. The melodious strains of the thousands of instruments, coupled with the trained and harmonious voices of the host of singers as they ehanted the noblest sacred songs of any people in any age of the world, swept beyond the walls of the temple, and could be heard far away.-N Y.
