Instinct Betrayed Him.

A curious story is told by our Vienna correspondent A young man, the repre- sentative of large firm, who carried a large sum of money with him, recently spent the night at a hotel at .Presburg As usual, he remained some tim6 smoking in bed. Suddenly the burning cigar fell to the floor. He bent over to extinguish it, when he saw hand projected from under tho bed put the cigar out. It made him very uncomfortable. He lay awhile, and then, saying aloud: How vory coldl I shall get my fur coatl' ho jumped out of bed, flew to tho door and cried for help. The would be robber was caught. He con fessed he knew tho occupant of the room had money, which he hoped to get while he slept. He had been fireman former ly and could not resist tho impulse to ex- tinguish the burning cigar. News.

PAPER BAG FACTORIES.
They Arc Quite Numerous in the
 Eastern States.
Interesting Facts Concerning an Industry Which Employs Thousands of Bright New England Women The
 Product of Their Skill.

What do you think of a machine that picks up a roll of manilla paper, at- taches it to one end of cylinder and transforms it into bags at the rate of 30,000 per day? You may go out and lock your door and, returning after a certain length of time, find several thousand bags, not only made but counted and piled into packages, where you left merely aroll of manilla. There is something almost startling in this growth of an industry that at first glance seems one of the most unpictur- esque in the catalogue. The complete output of the largest paper bag com pany's mills amounts to between 5000 GOO and 6,00o,00o bags per day, and is distributed throughout the length and breadth of the United States. In the manufacture of the bags machinery is almost entirely used, although from 800 to 400 employees are kept busy attend- ing to detail work.
 Of these employees more than two- thirds are women. The factories are mostly situated in the east, the largest of all being located in the romantic re- zion of northern New York. The girls employed in the New England mills are many of them high school graduates, and live at home. The duties of these young women employees consist largely in attending to the arrangement of such details as enter into the making up of paste pots, cleansing of brushes, assort- ment of sizes, etc. Thirty tons of pa- per are converted each day into bags varying in size from the one-half to the 35 measurement. The paper is taken directly from the paper machine in rells of different widths, and by gravity is run to the large elevator, which hoists it to the machine-room. This has floor space of 300 by 75 feet without column. On each side of this immense apartment are located the great ma chimes, while the center is devoted to the tying machines. A roll of paper is put on to the end of horizontal bar supplied with facilities which folds it into tubes, cuts it into proper lengths,

AMADo GUERRA WRITES HOPEFULLY FROM
 CUBA TO AMERICANS.
 NEW YORK, March 30.-A Herald special from Key West, Fla, says: One of the Herald's seveyal correspondents in Cuba has just forwarded here the following trans- lation of a message from the revolutionary chieftain, Amado Guerra:
 IN CAMP, MANzANILLo, March 20, 1895. To Editor of Heral1.
 This is for information of our friends in the United States. 1 would ask the Amer ican people not to believe stories of iusur- genS defeats coming from government sources. They are false. We are more June we will have 20, 900 men in the field. We feel sure of the sympathy of all Ameri- cans. AMADO GUERRA.

Sharks Delicate In Captivity.

Sharks are rather delicate in captivity, and it Is difficult to keep them in aqua riums Whatever care may be bestowed upon them they do not seem to be able to stand confinement however large the tank or pool may be. In captivity sharks swim round and round the tank, nine times out Of ten taking one course and never revers. ing. A shark has been known to keep it's course for three or four months without change, and, except for food, never halt ing, so far as it was observed It would keep going all day long and would be found going in the morning just the same. If food was placed in it's way, it would ntop for several minutes and eat, remain ing headed the same way. Presently it would start on again in the same direction on its rounds, moving slowly unless dis tuxbed New York Sun.

dispatch to the Herald from Shanghai says: Li Hung Chang is progressing favor ably. The treatment of the wound has been antiseptic and has proved quite effectual. The viceroy objects to having the wound opened for the purpose of ex- tracting the bullet. The empress' nurses are in attendance on the patient and per- form the necessary bandaging. The em. psror,s physicians report that the wound Is situated one centimeter below the middle edge of the left mopthalmic cavity. It is oval in shape and measures eight millime- ters across. The swelling caused by the injury has closed one eye. The bullet en- tered through the exterior wall oi the left superior maxillary bone.

Where Victims of Camp Douglass
 Lie Buried,
LASTING MONUMENT
Will Be Dedicated on DeCOra- tiCn Day, With imposing
 Ceremonies.

CHICAGO. March 30.-The Confederate monument in OHkwood cemetery, this city, will be dedicated on Decoration Day, Gen. Wade Hampton of South Carolina de- livering the dedicatory address. The event has awakened great enthusiasm in the south and car loads of flowers, blossoms and hang ging mosses will be sent to Chicago to ornament the monument and graves or burial plot from each of the southern cities of Atlanta, Savannah and New Or leans, where committees of the most in hu- ential citizen have been at work for some time.
 Among the ex-Con federate officers who have expressed theic intention to General Underwood of being present are: Lieut.. : Gen. John B. Gordon, United States sena- tor from Georgia and commander Of the United Confederate Veterans; Lieut.. Gen [. James Longstreet, the senior southern gen. eral living; Lieut.. -Gen. A. P. Stewart, Ch1ckamauga park commissioner; Maj.- Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, ex-governor or Virgil mia; Maj. Gen. E. C. Walthall, United States senator from Mississippi; Mai Gen. Matthew Butler, ext UniLed S States seos0 g,esn. dnsn EraGk ant; Brig. Gen. ,Eppa Hinton, ex- United States senator from Virginia; BrIg. Gen Joe Shelby, United States marsual of Mis- souri; Lol. William Preston Johnson, president of Tulane university of Louisi- ana; John W. Daniel, United States senator from Vng.nia, and others.
 The committee oi reception is com posed of 200 prominent Chicagoans, among them Postmaster Hessing, John J. Mitchell, Il. N. Higin botnam, LymaniP. Gage, president First National bank; Cyrus Il. McUormick James W. Scott, W. I. Baker, Potter Pal mer and Gen. John c. Black.
 The battery of four steel rifled cannon, having g record, and the 2O0D pru ujscliies that the government sppTo priated With which to ornament the burial plot. are in the city and awaiting good weather to be placed in po- sition.
 There are 5000 Conf. deratelsoldiers buried in Oakwood, the largest number inferred at any point in tHe north, who died in Camp Douglass prison, 1882 o5.
 The monument erected over their re- mains was cut in Georgia of pearl gray granite near Atlantn, and is surmou ted with bronze statue of a typical Confeder- ate soldier after the surrender, and stands from base to crown of statue forty feet.

folds the bottom, pastes, prints, dries and delivers the bags, counted, and, by a recent improvement, punched with a easily hung up and is handy for use by the retailer.
 One machine will turn out 200, ,000 per feet bags a day, with lap not to exceed half an inch. There are several fac- tories for the manufacture of bags in the western country, but they are not SO large nor so perfect in equipment as those located in the east. The girls employed in this section are not high school graduates, but they are bright and attractive, with a deftness of touch and quickness of understanding that ranks them with the better class of wage workers. Machinery has largely done away with individual labor, but there is still enough left to do to keep many scores of girls busy. The wages paid seldom rise above $S or s10 per week, and more often range below s8.
 Independent of the home market, the paper bag manufacturers command large foreign trade. It is almost inn. possible to compute by figures the num- Der of these flying pockets of paper that are rushed from the mills each day, to futter the wide world over in answer to the demands of trade. If there were no other industry left, this one alone would place thousands of freight cars under service daily to transport the output. The exhibit of paper bags at the worlds fair was one of the largest of the exhibits. There is little fault to find with these large paper factories on the score of cleanli- ness and sanitary standards. Paper is wholesome and the atmosphere where it is stored and operated upon is in the main both clean and healthful. The young girl whose life is cast amid the mazes of vast paper bag factory may not know as much as she ought of out door sunlight and fresh, pure air, but she has decidedly the advantage of toil- CTS in wool and leather industries.

Mice Have a Musical Note.

The outer ear of mouse is thin, al- most transparent membrane, and re- cent experiments show that it is highly sensitive to movements of the air which to human ears do not represent sound at all. It is asserted on good authority that mice are sensitive to music, and the stories of their singing have been fully confirmed. They have pleasant musical note, resembling that of the cricket.

Berzelius Chemical Society.

The volumnetrio method for the de-
termination of phosphoric acid, with
notes and results of recent extended in
vestigations by numerous chemists, was
ably discussed by the member of the
Berzelius Chemical Society at its last
meeting held in the chemical depart
ment of the Agricultural and Mocha zeal
College.
Mr.. B. W. Kilgore, through Mr. vii
liams, laid before the society his report
to the Association of Official Agricultural
Chemists, to which he was the reporter
on this method
The mehod has been uIder inyestiga
ton for the past year and promises to
become one of great Importance to chem
lists, owing to the necessity Of having a
method combining both rapidity and &C
curacy, by which the large number Of
phosphoric acid determinations can be
made.
The A. o o. a c. have promised to
adopt this as the alternate method for
the determination of phosphoric acid.
