To supplant Tin Cans.

Cans made of paper pulp are now be- ing introduced to take the place of tin cans forTeontaining all kinds of pre- served products, says the New York Sun. The occasional cases of poison ing from canned goods are due to the contents becoming tainted through the cans not being air-tight. Many mil lions of tin cans are used annually by canned goods factories in this country, and such cases of injury from tainted goods are comparatively rare; but be- cause it is possible, through slight de- feets in the solder or minute breaks in the cans, for such danger to result, the canners have been looking for a satis- factory substitute for tin. It is be- lieved that this has at last been found in the paper pulp cans. They are oil proof as well as waterproof, will not expand or contract, and will stand as much rough usage in shipment as tin cans. and perhaps more.

by the left side and threw 1t to the ground. The herder called "0pen Box, ;" which was the brand to which the calf belonged. From smoking fire near by man brought a rudely-shaped branding tool and pressed it upon the calf's palpitating, glossy side. Smoke arose; the poor beast gave R wild outcry every time the cruel iron scared his hide. It made me shudder with sympathy The smell of burning flesh sickened me and the unconscious brutality of the stalwart men disgusted me, yet there was powerful fascina- ton in watching these expert and pow erful men and in seeing the wonderful work of the horses. After the poor brute was thrown the horses set back signal came for release.
 Some of the older calves gave the men hard wrestle. They leaped and beloved, the men shouted: "Trip him, Bob, "Ill bet on the calf" and other jocular remarks.
 The struggle with the calves minded me of the pride men took in holding pig at pig-killing time, in Iowa, in from tier days.
 It was unrelievedly cruel to see the fawn-like calves dragged to the hot iron. but when the men attacked a three-year-old steer the struggle grew dramatic. One roper threw the moose over the horns, and while the below ing creature leaped in the air the sec ond man caught the hind feet. A swift turn about the pommel, q touch on the rein, and the great brute was helpless A sharp turn of one horse and the steer was brought to the ground In & quiyering heap. It all looked easy because it all went on so quietly, but it takes skill to handle twelve hundred pounds of beef when it is alive.
 After the calves sprang up they ran little sidewise, as if afraid the burn ing sears might touch something. l asked the boss whether some other mode of marking might not be used.
 We've tried to find some way" he replied, .but it don't seem like there is there is any other way. You see, when you've got so many brands you can't earmark, and any paint on the hair wears off, and anything tied on would brush off or get stole"
 "How often do you hold these round ups?"
 Twice a year. In the spring and fall. In the spring we round up to brand the calves while they're with the cows, and in the fall to separate beef cattle and also to brand any calves missed in the spring roundup"
 T suppose these are all volunteer riders-like an old-fashioned huskin' bee"
 He smiled Yes. That's it exactly. Each man is expected to do his share. Each man drives the cattle in his range 70 maftlr whose they are, and then we Ut out attle that belong on the range V the roundup is and take the obo into their own range"

II the Bin Was Genuine.

Recently a bishop OF the Methodist Epis-
eopal church retprned from tour of the
south aud made ms headquarters at one
OF the big hotels uptown, says the New
York Tribune. To those who called upon
him at the hotel he told a funny story
about MS experience among the negroes
of the south. He Went down with a
party to one of the fas hionable winter re-
sorts along the coast. Que Sunday he was
told OF a service that was 70 be held at
d cOlored Methodist chuffh several miles
inland. 1t was suggested that the party
attend these services. md. accordingly
carriages we're ordered and the drive
was made. The rest OF the story is best
told in his own hngua se.l He said.
When We arrived at the church we
found that II was to be sort OF special
service to raise money to pay of a church
debt. They had recently erected a new
church and It was only partly paid for;
The local bishop had been summoned ana
great effort was being made 70 get the
money When we had taken our seats a
colored brother came around and asked
US u We would not go 10 the front, out We
''In the course of his remarks the bishop
dwelt upon the good work that had been
done in the name Of the Redeemer, and
called upon every one present to contri-
butte something toward paying on the
great debt that the church had assumed
in building a new house of worship. He
said that the debt was Sl4235, and that
it must be met His eloquent plea reached
our hearts and we made up little purse
among ourselves and raised $l0. Ihe
money was handed to me, and /, when
the plate was handed around. laid crisp
500 bill on the plate.
while the money was being counted
song service was sheldz 1t was plainly
evident to US that something unusual
was going on and there was a subdued air
of excitement among those counting the
money. Finally the bishop stepped to the
front and raised his hand. The music
ceased at once. He began to speak very
gravely, and imagine our establishment
when he said:
:" Brethren: We have met with remark
able success in our efforts to-day. We have
received enough money to pay off the debt
and a surplus of $i412-that is, providn'

north gave us is genuine >"

American. I'm Europe.

There are more Americans in Europe this
year than there have been in any previous
year This fact alone justifes the opin-
ion that the times are not so hard as the
siIverite and populist orators would have
the people believe.
A leading London paper estimates that
since Jan. last 10000 Americans have Wis
tied London. That estimate is doubtless
too great The number probaly Is not far
from 10000. The great transatlantic
steamship lines have carried to Europe
since May l about 5000 people. The vast
majority of them intended to
return during September. It is
being clearly demonstrated now
that they cannot all get back dur
ing that month. Not one half OF them can
get back as soon as they expected and. con-
.sequently. a good many Of them who car
ried only money enough to meet their ex-
penses during the time they arranged to
stay abroad are finding trouble to get the
money necessary for their expenses during
the time of their forced stay.
What lot of money has been spent in
Europe by Americans this summefl 1t is
said that they have left $2O.OOO.OOO in Lon
don alone, and if they have left that sum
in London how large the amount must be
which they have left in the whole Of Eu-
rope! No wonder that there is an outflow
Of gold! Although the balance of trade is
in our favor it takes pretty nearly the
whole of the balance to meet the demands
Of Americans in Europe 1t would not be
at all Surprising if the amount which these
Americans have spent in Europe this year
is more than $5O.OOO.OOO.
And it is a matter for comment why
Americans neglect the places of interest
in their own country, and hurry away to
the crowded cities of Europe. There are
many places well worth visiting in this
country. Europe has little in natural seem
cry that compares with Niagara Falls, the
Yellowstone Park and the big trees of
California. 1t is a pity we cannot keep at
.hofne most OF the 100000 or more which
is annually spent in Europe by people of
this country.

IenIous of Her LnnreIn.

1t would have been rather remarkable If
absolute peace and good will had reigned
supreme among the women connected with
the Cotton States exposition. There are a
good many women connected with the ex-
position in one way or another. and not
few of them possess genuine ability for
the discharge of the duties which devolve
upon them. Naturally those at the head of
bureaus and departments are somewhat
proud of whatever success they attain, and
want all the applause to which they are
entitled.
An Atlanta dispatch was published in
a New York paper on Sunday saying that
Mrs. Theodore Sutro. of that city, had been
Withdrawn by her husband from the chair
ment Of the law and music.
And why was Mrs sutro withdrawn? It
seems. so the story goes. that Miss Ellen
Powell of Atlanta. visited New York res
Gently for the purpose of interesting prom
inent women of that city in the fair. She
was entertained by Mrs. sutro. and during
her visit Mrs. Sutro made some suggestions
for the womans department of the ex-
position which were thought admirable,
and which were adopted.
On Miss Powells' return to Atlanta a
local paper called attention to these sug-
gestions and. so the dispatch says, gave
her credit for them. Naturally Mrs. Sutrc
was not at all pleased with this treat
ment, and concluded that if she couldn't
have credit for what she did she would
drop out of the army of exposition work
ers.
Unless Miss Powell claimed Mrs. Sutro's
suggestions as her own we do not see
that she is ITO blame for the failure OF
Mr.. Sutro to get the credit in the loca
paper to which she was entitled. Tn,
matter was one that could easily have beer
set right If every time an Atlanta news
paper gives credit when it is not due
some one of the women workers for TIL,
exposition should drop out of the rank.
the chances are that the number of work
ers would be quite small before the open
ing of the exposition. The knowledge tina
! they are filling their respective position
faithfully and helping the exposition along
ought to be a sufficient compensation To-
the women, and also the men, who ar,
doing what they can to make the exposi
| ton a success. a
