THE CANAIGIRE TtANNIN.

Professor Gulley, who has given the canaigre subject some attention the past few years, in an interview pub lished in the Los Angeles Herald, says:
 T have been interested in the ca naigre question since 1891, but have not very much positive knowledge re- specting it. I believe canaigre will prove one of the profitable crops for some sections of the country. It can not be grown at high elevations at a profit. Its growth is a question of moisture. From our present krowl- edge canaigre is simply valuable for it's tannin. The root contains a large amount of starch, but I believe it is not valuable for cattle, for the reason that the starch is so intimately con- nected with the tannin that it cannot be profitably separated. There is at present no market for cana;gre as the farmer can grow it, for tanners will not take hold of it until it is put on the market in large quantities. The larg- est cultivated areas are in New Mex ico. believe the Sat River valley is the best located for profitably handling it, with possibly California and Fl Paso equally suitable. All plants that I have examined from frozen ground have been killed. I would as soon ex- pect a; frozen Irish potato to grow as frozen canaigre"

raised LID against Judge Edwards in the practice of law at Globe. Some say that this is the cause of his late an- nouncement that he would retire from the profession.
 He had been conducting a series Of cases for a client against an old Frenchman who refused to hire a lawyer, appeared in his own behalf, and was uniformly defeated.
 The other day he called at the office of Judge Edwards who was entertain ing several visitors.
 "Goot morning Monsieur Edward, y was his greeting.
 Good morning, Frenchy," replied the judge, after which the following di- alogue ensued:
 Monsieur Edward, you know zat poy, zat Aulaine of mine"
 "Yes. What of him?"
 "Zat poy, he will make a vera goot lawyare, and I will hafe a lawyare in may family also.'
 why will he make a good lawyer?'
 Ant he won't tell ze truth
 "But that isn't the only qualified ton for a lawyer"
 "Ant he won't tell re truth"
 That's something, but it isn't al, of the legal profession"
 Amt he steal, he steal efery ting; he viE make as goot a lawyare as you Monsieur Edward"

For gentleman to be we'll dressed there is nothing so important as his shoes. In meeting people suddenly or for the first time they will invariably after the first greeting is over look at ones feet. The reason of this no one has yet explained, but you doubtless know from experience that the impres- son formed from that sudden and al most unconscious glance at the feet is a lasting one and it is all owing to how the feet are dressed. No gentleman can afford to take these risks and should not only always be well shod, but sensibly so. The fashionable and seasonab.e shoe for gents wear is at present the Oxford and southern ties, a handsome low cut shoe of the best material and latest make. The A,kire company has them ;n great quantities and are selling them at prices that will make them go. If you have any regard for your feet, shoe them for the sum- mer at Alkire's.

The Age Of Paper.

If any one had prophesied fifty
years ago that cannon, car wheels,
boats, pencils and clothing were to
be made Of the same substance as
that on which the bible and "Ham-
let' were printed, he would have
been laughed out of countenance.
Yet to-day the manufacturers OF
paper are reaching out and invent
ing new processes whereby humid
reds of iron and wooden commodi-
ties are made of the pulp from their
mills, at a price which threatens to
drive all competition out OF the
market.
An eastern manufacturer is ad-
vert sing paper stockings, paper
gloves and paper mittens, and he
warrants them to be more durable
and much less expensive than
woolen or cotton goods. The
articles are light and airy and very

comfortable for summer wear.
They are woven from paper yarns
which come from the mandatory
all prepared for the purpose. Ordi-
nary paper cord, with which every
one is familiar, is too smooth for
knitting, and it is therefore given
nap by passing through specially
constructed gigging machines. At
ter the knittingis finished the goods
are placed in a sizing-bath made
from tallow and potato starch,
which imparts strength and solidity
to the texture. After drying, the
socks and gloves are dyedin various
colors and look so soft and woolly
when they come from the store that
il is hard to tell them from the
ordinary goods. And they are so
cheap that when they begin to give
out or become soiled they can be
thrown into the fire and new ones
purchased. The laundryman has
not vet expressed his opinion as to
this exceedingly convenient arrange
ment.

We have been informed that our
fellow townsman, Prof. c. ]. Evrard,
has, at the urgent request OF his
friends all over this
county, decided to be a candidate
for County Superintendent OF this
county at the coming June election:
Mr.. Evrard has been connected
with the schools of Indiana for al
most quarter of century, and
with the schools of this county tor
more than twelve years. He has
in fact made education his life work.
The fact that he has been made
principal of the Ireland high school
for the coming term, illustrates
that his services as principal OF the
common schools here for two years
have been appreciated by the peo-
pie of Ireland. Through his work
in the Dubois county normal at this
place, a few years ago, and through
his labors in the Cass Normal at
HOLLAND in 1895, Mr.. Z. has given
instructions to many Of the teachers
Iof this and adjoining counties, who
will be pleased to hear that he has
decided to be a candidate for the
office he is so well qualified to fill.
May success attend him, is the wish

more years before the armanents Of
the world will come from the paper
factory rather than the steel works.
The chief points in favor of the
pulp guns are their elasticity and
lightness. Instead Of having to be
dragged tediously over the country
by six or eight horses, a cannon Of
paper can can be loaded into light
wagon and pulled along at a trot by
a span OF mules. The body Of a
paper gun is made Of pulp and the
core is OF steel. About five layers
Of copper, trass and steel wire are
wound about the exterior surface

Paper is also rapidly taking the
place Of rubber as an insulator OF
electric wires. A cable so pro-
tected has been laid recently under
the Hudson river at New York, and
it works admirably. Each separ.
ate wire is bound with a strip OF
paper wound spirally, and the
whole is covered with thick lead
pipe. When it is known that a
paper-insulated, lead-covered cable
can be bought for so cents a foot,
while the rubber-insulated cable
would cost not less than 80 a foot,
the future of paper insulation fol
electrical wires can be easily imag'
ined. 1t is matter for surprise
that its use for this purpose has mo-
been more extended in the past.

combined with the usual hardening
ingredients, consisting Of litharge,
wax, tallow, whitehead and blue
lead. Then the pulp is run into
molds and cast to the proper shape,
after which the steel core is inserted.
The paper, although exceedingly
hard and durable, will give way
enough when the explosion Of the
powder occurs to prevent a break.
Since the cannon was tested with
great success paper manufacturers
nave been experimenting in the
construction OF paper hy-wheels for
great engines. They hope tn pro-
duce wheel which will not burst
when the load is suddenly taken of
the engine and the speed runs up
to high velocity. The process Of
manufacture is extremely simple.
The wooden skeleton Of a big wheel
is put in a revolving frame and
sheets Of MANILA paper from great
spool are wound around it, with ap-
plications of glue between. This
thick layer Of paper is so elastic
that the possibility Of breakage in
case Of accident is exceedingly
small.

The editor Of a paper in Ken
tucky, The Ledger, of Murray, de-
serves a medal Of honor. A recent
issue of the paper contained the
following announcement:
"All contracts for whisky adver-
tisements in The Ledger have ex-
pired, and from this date no whisky
shall appear in these
columns at any price. If the sa-
loon people desire to expatiate on
the merits (?) of any peculiar
brand of their damnation they CAL
look elsewhere for a medium through
which TO extol its virtues. The
Ledger makes no claim to sanctiti'
cation, but when saloon keeper
tells us that SO ad. in The Ledger
has sold for him 81, 200 worth Of
whisky, it makes us feel that we
have been in a small measure re.
sponsible for the damage done, and
we promise to sin no more.

The Cupid's bow Of which the

write good deal is a pretty mouth,
but it lacks an element Of beauty
which modern standards demand
that Of spirituality.
Lips continually curving upward,

very pretty, but they are not the
ones which denote that their owner
is full Of sympathy and has had
deep experience Of life. Sorrow,
