1t would be strange If the Spruce woods
of Marie should be Turned into cotton
fields. But United States Consul Morris at
Client. Belgium in special report to the
State Department describes new PROCESS
of making artificial cotton which has been
remarkably successful, the product being
much cheaper than the natural cotton and
possessing most of its qualities The basis
is wood-pulp which by a course of treat mon {
fully described by the Consul is changed
into pure ceiulose and spun into thread and
then woven into cloth. 1t resembles ordi-
nary cotton, but has a slight defect which
however will be easy to remove-that is it is
not as strong as tue natural product 1t
weayes and works well and can be dyed as
we'll as colt IN. By coating 1t with paraffin
and passing it over glass beautiful brill
liancy may he given to il. Much greater
strength can be Impaired by parchmentiz-

An American recently in England relates
in the New York Herald story of the high
appreciation in which our apples are held
abroad. II had OCCASION said he 'sto re-
pay a few courtesi es received at the hands
of some English business acquairtauces
and did so by giving a dinner. In the
can fruit and apples in particular men
toned. AT once my guests became iii ost
enthusiastic. and that led me to send over
here forssome. They arrived-choice.s select
ed Northern spys-before I left for boine.
/ don't think in all my experience / have
ever received more hearty and sincere
thanks for any present have ever made.
OF course, our apples are exceedingly
toothsome, but it was almost impossible for
me TO comprehend the delight they afftrd-
ed my English friends and their acqquaint
ances. In two cesos special dinner parties
were given, just exactly as one might be
given here if you were presented with a fine
saddle of yenison, wild turkey, some
other rare game. From my experience yon
can state positively that if you want to
make an Englishman your friend for life.
