The Dog Still Lives.

A prominent family, residing in
the business part of Wayneport,
Monroe county, Pa, possesses dog
which, having reached old age, they
decided to put an end to. They pro-
cured quantity of chloroform, and
the wife proceeded to administer it.
The handkerchief saturated with the
fluid was held to or near the dogs
nostrils, but the lady, watching
closely to hear the dog draw his last
breath, inhaled the chloroform in
much larger quantities than the dog
and promptly went off into an after
noon nap, which was awakened by
the dog quite lively voice. The dog
still lives, and the family has de-
cided to let him die natural death.

Artificial Cottom

The matter of obtaining artificial
cotton from wood pulp is treated by
the textile organs as an actual in
dustry, the pulp being changed into
pure cellulose, spun, coated with
paraffin and woven, one of the
most successful processes of manu-
featuring being described as follows:
Whitewood is considered preferable,
this being Clipped. digested and
otherwise prepared. The pulp gets
bath in liquid composed of
methyl, alcohol and sodium, and
after standing overnight the opera
tions of treating the threads are IN
dertaken and accomplished by the
use of an ingeniously adapted ma
chine. Briefly, the method of get
ting the pulp into threadlike form
is conducted on the regular lines
now pretty well known to pulp
manufacturers, the principal point
in this instance being, of course, the
subjection of the thread to such
process as will change the character
from paper or wood yarn to a su-
perior cotton. Mention is made of
several plans for the production of
textiles from paper, but while most
of these fail to result in substance
which will stand washing the solid
flying emulsion employed in the pc
culiar manner now introduced, it is
asserted, makes the threads water
proof, as it coats the fiber rendering

WHAT A JEW SAID
Reasons Given for the Good VIII To.
wards Catholics.

The Western Watchman says:
FATHER Yorke lactured in Metropolitan
Hall, San Francisco recently. He was
intruducad to the audience by Rev. DR..
Jacob Vieto, rabbi, as follows:
"The question may he asked OF us:
Why, rs Jews, lc we stand shoulder 20
shoulder with the Roman Catholic at this
time? We stand shoulder to shoulder
with any sect that was experiencing any
difficulty in practicing its religious craad
in its own way and according TO it's own
light.
:I will tell you why the Jews stand by
the Roman Catholic; I will tell You why;
Not only from the pure dictates OF his
heart, which viii always detest religious
persecution. The Jew, hope, is beyond
all things GRATEFUL
He related how in the early portion Of
the sixteenth century, when this princes
Of Europe were seeking to despoil and
destroy the Jew, every occupant of the
Papa, chair had declared that no Jew
should be persecuted and that his prop
es'ty should be protected. He told how
Gregory X defended the Jew and vouched
for the untruthflllness Of the charge that
Jews drank human blood and ate the
heart Of a child at the celebration Oh the
Passover feast; how Archbishop Werner,
of Mayence, defended the Jews from the
charge of child murder, when no one else
dared raise hand or voice in their behalf;
how Innocent W.. secured for the Jew
the privilege Of being allowed TO retain
his Bible and Tal.nud when all the nations
were against him: now Innocent VII. gave
a refuge to the Jews when they tney were
expelled from Spain; how Plus ". re-
moved the badge which up to this time,
ali Jews. as related OF Shyiock by Shake
apeare, were compelled to wear to indi-
cate that they were Jews, and hcW Henry
IT,, Archbishop of Mayence, and Clement
VI. had given protection to the Jews.
Continuing, he said
In view Of all these kindnesses show
cred upon our race by the supreme power
OF the Catholic church, how can we do
otherwise than stand in and say that
there small be no religious test in this
ccuntry?'
He referred to the anti-Senitic agita-
|tion in Germany, and remarked: "Those
who were responsible fer that were not
Catholics After tribute to the broad
spirit of liberation that he said marked
the treatment Of other seets by The Cath
olics, he introduced Father Iorke.

The Cost to England OF Keeping Her
Soldiers Clad. .

It costs the British government Se,25O,'
600 annually for clothing furnished It's
army all over TIE world. Each Of the for
eign possessions, however, has to pay
hack to certain extent the amount which
the uniforms of the troops stationed OF
sent there has cost and this entails no
end Of complicated bookkeeping, says the
New York Journal.
India, for instance, pays for the cloth
ing Of it's own troops, and also for the
uniforms of the men which England sends
there. The latter item is about 5000
annually. On the other hand, when q
regiment comes back from India, that
country has to be paid back the full value
of the clothes they wear.
The government sells old and Wornout
articles to second hand dealers, who By
! the way, usually accumulate fortunes IN
a short time. The value Of castoh clothes
SO disposed Of is about S14O, 900 yearly.
The scraps remaining after the uniforms
have been cut out also brings a matter OF
100000 annually. In all the authorities
receive back about 10000, thus redGc-
ing the total cost OF clothing the army to
less than $5,Ooo,o00 4 year.
The best quality OF everything is used
in the manufacture Of uniforms In fact
it is said that they are too good Tor dur
able wear A huge factory in Plmlico,
London, makes q large share OF the fur
nish:ngs, but vast quantities of foot and
head gear are bought ready made. Boots
and leggings, for example, cost $1,165O0O
and headdresses $250.0O0.
The thousands of miles Of flannel, lin
en-. calico, cloth, velvet etc, the millions
of buttons, the tons of cotton wool, the
billions of yards of sewing cotton, that
are made into smart tunics, tidy trousers
and warm shirts cost $2,425,00O. The
wages paid for making these up are over
Sc 900 a week. Some OF the salaries paid
for this branch are excellent for England.
The inspector of clothing receives $4,000
and his assistants S2.750 apiece, and SO
on down The long list.
Bit all this vast expense is probably
much less than tie annual outlay that
France or Germany makes for keeping
its soldiers smart In appearance i'll TIM es
Of peace In Germany, for example, every
man in the army is said to have tour
complete suits Of military clothing.

The French is the more sober and thrifty
people. Nevertheless, from beyond the seas
We feel a lively friendship for the Gas
cons Of the North,'' as they have been
called, and their oppression weighs heavily
upon the heart Of our country. And it aP-
pears that Ireland returns a good deal OF
this sympathy. She has not forgotten
either the distant affinity OF race nor the
community of religious faith nor the MI
merous determinations Of arms. The Irish
remember LauZern, commanding al the
Boyne the troops Of their king. James II.
They recount with pride the exploits OF the
IRISH brigade charging the English to the
cry Of Remember Limerick and the Sas-
senacn treachery'' and wrestling from
George II the angry speech, Cursed be the
laws which deprive me OF such subjects!
They boast of having a president Of the
republic. The McNahon family is one OF
the most ancient and most glorious in The
island. They carefully remind US that our
Marshal Macdonald was not a Scotchman,
but an Irishman. Lastly, when tue saxon
Invasion weighed heavily upon the soil OF
France this poor island which the English
tax with ingratitude sent us number OF
her sons armed to battle by our SIDE. All
this cannot be forgotten, and IN the MINDS
OF most Of our countTymen there will always
be an association OF ideas between the
fate of Ireland and that of Alsace-Lorraine.
No one will admit the right OF shutting
up three political convicts in prisons whose
discipline is such that two have come out
insane, and the third (the expression is
that Of an English newspapers broken

great nation 11onors itself by expressing;

so bitterly against the proceedings Of the

armenopaile preachments of the English.
