Several months ago an orange tree
thorn penetrated the hip Of John Allen,
an eight year-old boy Of Lake City,
Florida. Inflammation set in and the
chiId's body was soon terribly swollen
from head to foot. Finally the swelling
subsided, whereupon the boy at once
began to shed his skin. The skin Of
the face came off separately, but the
rest of the skin. after FIVE days squirm-
ing on the part of the boy, came off in
one piece. The skin is Oh exhibition

consistency OF hard glue, which It much

A newspaper i. not a public charity.
Times have changed in this respect.
Once the editor was a deadhead IN every
enterprise. even including his own, il a
newspaper then might have been called
an enterprise. This view was especially
applicable to the country press.
A newspaper is the mirror Of the
community in which it circulates.
The people Of town or city may look
their papers in the face and see Them
selves as they are.
A newspaper can't run long in town
and be in advance Of it. The paper
will either bring the town along with
it or the publisher will move out and
let drone put the people to sleep
again.
The largest paper is not alwav. the

its faithful exponent. Because paper

Item about swamp hay pavement
Permission has been granted by the
Mayor Of Baltimore to lay a sample Of
new pavement, made Of swamp hay
In order to test Its durability. The
material is swamp grass, which grows
luXuriantly in the salt marshes along
the Atlantic coast 1t grows very com
pactly IN many places to a height OF six
or eight feet Laborers 90 into the
marshes with LARGE, fiat boats and cut
the hay, which falls into the boat as il
is poled along through the water. The
material is then put into bundles and
cut into the proper length by machine
similar to the ordinary hay-cutter. 1t
is afterwards subjected to q moderate
pressure and made into blocks about Six
inches thick by sixteen long and twen-
ty wide. These are then fastened by
wires very much IN the same manner
that hay is put up. Before the blocks
are shipped from the factory they are
treated with preparation OF deda oil, =
and they are then ready to lay upon the
streets The cost Of putting down this
pavement complete, including the prep
aration of the concrete foundation, is
given at from Sl.4O to Sl.7O per square
yard.
