Another Use For Paper

Among the latest things made out Of
paper are artificial straws for slipping
cobblers and various iced drinks. Every
body knows that real straws are apt to
be detective, but the limitations never
fail to- draw. After they are rolled they
are treated with parafin to render them
water tight and nonabsorbent. The same
patent covers mouthpiece for cigarettes,
which are manufactured in similar
fashion. Philadelphia Times.

The Man Gushed Over the Ticker, but Was

The Man Gushed Over the Ticker, but Was
Disseminated on Sight.
A telegraph operator in Boston Office
once met with bitter disappointment
early in his career by falling in love with
young woman at the other end of one
of the old Western Union wires. She
used to say sweet little nothings when
lull in the business gave her an oppor-
tunity to use the wire The young man
worked in the Boston Office and had the
reputation of being ''fly" sender and
able to receive what he could send, an all
importan. factor in the .'sizing up of an
operator. The woman was proud to have
him say even 'sGm" or ''Ge' good morn
ing or good EVENING" to her, and the other
girls on the wire, with whom he never
condescended to exchange even these or
binary salutations, were jealous. As time
wore on their conversations over the wire,
became longer and more frequent. FL
nally an invitation to come to Boston and
visit one Of the theaters was given and
accepted. The Lothario of the wire was
to wear a red, red rose in his buttonhole,
white straw hat, with blue band; she
was to carry a small satchel of peculiar
shape in one hand and fluffy lace hand
kerchief in the other.
The train arrived at the eastern sta
ton ON time, and the satchel of peculiar
design was sighted. 1t was indeed pc
culiar design. 1t was an old fashioned
carpetbag of a grayish green color and
considerably older than the Morse Alpha
bet. The girl was sight that would
have made Neil Burgess in the County.
Fair go and hide. She was fully 40
years old. Long corkscrew curls of ~
past era hung down over her shoulders
like twists of molasses candy, and smile
doomed up under the caves Of her SIM
bonnet that would have done credit to .
assure in the side of Vesuvius. ~ y
She was extremely glad to see him,
and he, with the instinct of true gem
tleman, tried to appear that he was just,
as glad to see her. He took her carpet
bag, and they boarded car for the
house where he was staying. There
were sly nudges and covert laughs at.
the tea table, all the girls and young
men thinking the young operator was
entertaining his aunt from the country.
For the evening performance at the tho
alter the giddy maiden fished out an aW-
full bonnet from the depths of her car
petbag and slicked up her curls IN the
most approved fashion. The bonnet was
flower garden in itself, and the writer
has the young mans own word for it
that she and the bonnet attracted more
attention than the play. 49, &,
The next day he sent her home, but
ever after he was careful not to allow
himself to converse with any one on the
wire except on business. Donahos's'

To Care For Flowers.

To keep flowers looking well the wa
ter should be changed daily and old
blossoms thrown away. Then the groups
should be carefully adjusted with rela.
ton to each other so no two tall speci-
mems should appear together. A little
sunlight may do no harm, but cut flow
.ers exposed to the full rays of a power
full sun wilt at once, and a pretty or.
rangement is soon spoiled. EARLY morn
ing is the proper time to pick flowers.
They should be Immediately sprayed
with a rubber sprinkler, which, by the
way, is invaluable to one who is gather
ing fresh blossoms. We are apt to treat
flowers carelessly--a handful of them
picked in the heat of the day without a
good sprinkling is soon in the same con-
dition as fish out of water.-New York

The Man, the Goat and the Banana.

( A big gray goat walked the other day
down Whitehall street. When he came
near to yender'sc cart which stood, piled
with bananas, by the curb on the east
side Of the street, he paused and survey
ed thefruit with. a fixed and expression
less woodenness of countenance. A man
who came along as the goat stood there
stopped and bought q banana. He strip
ped the banana and handed the peel to
the goat. Then the man and the goat
both stood there and ate-the goat with
undertaking gravity, the man with ris-
ing smile. When they had finished, the
man went on his way, the smile still
playing on his features. The goat passed
on with a countenance of unbroken
woodenness. New York Sun.

Grave Mistakes.

Physicians frequently make mis-
takes in treatment of Heart Disease.
The rate of sudden deaths is daily in
creasing. Hundreds become victims
of the ignorance of physicians in the
treatment of this disease. One in
four has diseased heart. Shortness
of breath, palpatation and fluttering,
irregular pulse, choking sensation,
asthmatic breathing, pain or tender
ness in side, shoulder or arm, weak
hungry spells, are symptoms of Heart
Disease. DR.. Miles New Heart Cure

Vividly.

Some one brought to the drug
store of Messrs. LeCompte &
Gayle Co. one day last week two
bottles. with prescriptions to be
re6lled. wrapped in a piece of
newspaper which Mr.. Robert w.
Tilford, the gentlemanly druggist
in charge, noticed when he re-
moved it from the bottles and laid
aside for US. 1t was torn from a
copy of the National sUnionist OF

the first column Of the latter ap-
pears the name Of George Wythe

Republican presidential ticket Of
that year, headed by Abraham
Lincoln, the election Of which the
paper advocated. The first page
is taken up with lengthy article
from the pen of the late Rev.

father Of the present Congressman
from this district. under the head
ing: "T-eason-Slavery--Loyalty

The editorials are written in
vigorous language, the editor deal

members Of the Chicago Conven-

before nominated General George
B. Mcclellan for the Presidency.
The portion of the paper before

well nigh impossible to secure a

innate interests of the nation and
to their constituents. They have
not been found among groups of
idlers and carOusers in cloak rooms
and they have not been known as
spoilsmen or Office lobbers. They
have followed the debates with
close attention, and have partici-
pated studiously and earnestly.
If, on the one hand, they have
shown no transcendent ability as

Air line roads are good, and in
time they become a necessity, but
this city is more interested in the
construction of lines TO the coast
that will not depend on their di-
rectness for through travel, but
that will open up rich sections of
comparatively undevelOped terri
tory and thus insure local traffic
that will increase from year to
year and insure the profitable
maintenance of the road. This
road to the mouth of the Brazos is
just such road as will best fill
that measure and at the same time
lay valuable country under tribute
to the trade of this commercial
center.
