Wood pulp as the basis of paper for
Che present sunices, but it would be
mice thing to initiate the papyrus of
she Egyptians and adapt it to modern
ugages, The question, however, is,
Would papyrus stand presswork? We
might call on the skillful writer and
reconstruct the missal of the past. In
England there was grown in the Vic
Soria lily tank great Egyptian papy-
rus, the foot Of which was seven feet
I'm diameter, and there were stems over
fourteen feet long. The pith was
taken, sliced, rolled into long strips,
and these adhered when submitted to
pressure. When a comparison was
made between an Egyptian inscribed
papyrus, which DR.. Birch said was
5000 years old, and the one just made,
&he two were found to be identical in
texture and appearance, save that,
through age, the Egyptian was darker.
When New York has its botanical gar
den, suggests the Times, we may grow
the Egyptian water plant and produce
our own papyrus.

Trustworthy advices indicate that
Peru is soon to become an active com
petitor in the petroleum trade of the
world. The Peruvian oil fields are
enormous in area, occupying some
1900 square miles, and are almost as
rich in their deposits as those of
Pennsylvania. which consist of only
$50 square miles. The territory is
being developed rapidly; crude petro-
leum is now used exclusively on the
locomotives of all Peruvian railways,
and with the introduction of North
American processes of refining and
transportation, the Peruvian product
will speedily become apowerful factor
an the trade throughout the world.

TO escort and convey the colonel's
wife down to the railroad. This was
q trip of forty miles. For the first
ten miles it was over level plain,
then the trail ran through the scrub,
along the foothills, over FIVE miles of
desert, around the south base of the
mountain and straight down to the
railroad. 1t was a hard, rough trail.
1t took the army wagons from three to
four days to make the forty miles.

come down to as in person as we stood
beside our saddle horses, knowing
nothing of where we we're to go or the
object of the trip, but stranger yet

out of his voice and demeanor as he
said:

its course without the aid of some re-
liable cough medicine is liable to re-

it quite extensively and it has always
given entire satisfaction.-O Oolagah,

Hyglenic Value Of Singing.
", Y. Home Journal.

~ 7. Home Journal.
When one considers how many thous-
ands of young men and women are
studying the art of singing, and how
very few of them ever learn it we'll
enough to earn their living by it, or to
give anybody much pleasure, one feels
inclined to look On the vast amount OF
time spent on vocal exercises as SO
many hours wasted. But there is an
other point of view which is not often
enough emphasized. In a recent num-
Der of German journal devoted to lar
yngolgy DR.. Barth has an article dis
cussing with German thoroughness the
utility of singing from HYGIENE point
of view. Every bodily organ is
strengthened by exercise; singers ex-
erclse their lungs more than any other
people; therefore, he says, we find that
singers have the strongest and sound
est lungs. The average German takes
Into his lungs 5000 cubic centimeters
of air at breath, while professional
singers take in 1000 to 5000. The
tenor Gunz was able to fill his lungs at
one gasp with air enough to suffice for
the singing of the whole of Schumann's
song, "The Rose, the Lily" and one of
the old Italian sopranists was able to
thrill up and down the chromatic scale
two octaves in one breath.
The singer not only supplies his
lungs with more vitalizing oxygen than
other persons do, but he subjects the
muscles of his breathing apparatus tor
several hours day to course of most
beneficial gymnastics. Almost all the
muscles of the neck and chest are d.
rectly involved in these gymnastics.
The habit Of deep breathing cultivated
by singers enlarges the chest capacity,
and gives to singers that erect and I'M
posing attitude, which is so desirable
and so much admired. The ribs, too,
are rendered more elastic, and singers
not in old age suffer from the breath
ing difficulties to which others are so
much subject. By exercising 80 many
muscles singing furthermore improves
the appetite, most yocalists being noted
for their INCLINATION to good meals.
The nose Oh singer is kept in healthy
condition by being imperatively and
constantly needed TOR breathing pur-
poses, the injurious mouth breathing
so much INDUCED in. by others being
Impossible in this case. That the ear,
too, Is cultivated, need not be added.
In short, there is hardly any kind of
gymnastics that exercises and benefits
SO many organs rs singing does.

Declaration as heroes? Yes, If yot
will. Yet surely they came to the
front because there was a public opin
ion back of them, and this was made
p.of these nameless yet conscientious
elements of country's life that are
the substratum and the very substance
also of all great forward movements.
And-on the other hand-shall we
credit Alarlc with disrupting the Ro
man Empire? No his strength con-
sisted in the weakness of his enemies,
who, raised to Heaven by their priyi-
leges, brought themselves down to
destruction not by the wickedness of
any one man, but the general unrlghte-
business and consequent feebleness of
the many.
Alas the strong and the weak to-
gether make up nation, and It's con-
tinuous power is possible only by an
increase of the strong and decrease of
the weak. The weak are those who do
not utilize life to the full who, loving
the comfort of the hot house, perish

wind who crumble like sand ramparts
at the first touch of the ocean of test
ing that all characters must endure if

selves the quiet inches of life, satisfied

escape the strivings that precede hon
ors; who, like troplc sayages, are con-
tent with food secured without labor
and much sleep with late awakenings

away their compassion from struggling,
eager humanity whose efforts they
scorn. but whose shoe-strings they are
not worthy to unloose who have the

RESCUED FROM RUIN.
NOW IN RALEIGH.
Two Little Country Girls Flee From
a Drunken Father.

News &; Observer.
Little Martha Ganey, aged Ii and
her sister Ida, aged 10, arrived here
night before last on the train from
| GoldsbOrO.
A kind gentleman paid their fare to
Selma and two others, Pythians, SO a
good lady said yesterday, brought them
on from Selma, and this morning early
the little country girls have happily
gone to work to do as best they can, the
duties of factory girl, tor Mr.. Stanhope
Wynne has given them employment.
No longer will cross and cruel father,
raging from drunken frenzy, make
their lives miserable.
Some months ago these little girls
left their fathers home at Gully's Mill
and reached this city only to be car
ried home to receive the harsh words
OF drunken parent. Soon, however,
matters grew even worse than they
had previously been and the mother
though it broke her heart to part with
her loved children, sent them to
Goldsboro with her permission to
find shelter wherever they could
anything in preference to living in the
home with a man fast becoming a
beast.
And SO it came to pass that with
out work the little women would be
without food and they were sent here.
Yesterday News and Observer re-
porter called to see them at the Union
House, near the Passenger depot and
little Martha talked freely.
She is cute little being with bright
sparkling eyes, rosy cheeks and waving
sable locks, and looking at you with
that frank glance and speaking in sin
cerest tones she tells story of life
pitiable in the extreme. In speaking
OF her home life and why she left the
little tot said "Dad cut up, rared and
messed so much, Muir told us if we
could git us home we might go to it,
and now we've found work. want to
work, that's what can do"
"Was your father bad to your moth
er?" l asked.
"He never was bad to Mur," she con-
"for il he tackled her she was
man enough to down him."
''But thought your mother was a
trail woman?''
"Oh, she don't look so good and
strong, but if you'd hang on to her
you'd find out. She's no puny thing
and dad amt Grabbed with her, but
he's right smart and Grabbed with US"
Just here Officer Rogers said the
time to leave had arrived and little
Martha said good bye to the kind lady
who cared so tenderly for her, but Ida
who was older, feared the brass buttons
and SHE'D past the big policeman. The
two were finally ready to go and with
merry laugh the two began their jour-
ney through the sterner life.

Proper Pronunciation Of Arkansas.
Richmond Dispatch.

Richmond Dispatch.
For many years there was a conten-
tlon among Arkansas best informed
citizens as to the correct pronunciation
of the name OF this State. Most per-
sons pronounced it as it was spelled,
while others, especially the early set
tiers and their descendants, pronounced
the name rs if spelled "Ar-kan-saw,' y
following, as they believed, the pro-
nunciation used by the Arkansas In
dlans, the aborigines of this country,
from whom the territory derived Its
name,
Erom 1874 to 184S Arkansas was re-
presented in the United States Senate
by Mr.. Chester Ashley and Mr.. Am
brose III. Seyier. Mr.. Chester Ashley,
New Englander by birth, always pro-
nounced the name of the State phonet-
ically, as 1t is spelled-"Ar-kan-sas :"
Mr.. Sewer. Tennesseean, the grand
nephew OF Colonel John Sewer, the
hero of Kings Mountain and the Gov
ernor of the estate of franklin" as
Tennessee was then called, always gave
to the last syllable of the name OF his
adopted State the pronunciation of the
broad ga" as if it were spelled car kan
saw" At that time Mr.. Dallas was
Vlce-President, and he made one of
the most courtly presiding officers the
Senate ever had. Mr.. Dallas, In ad-
dressing Mr.. Ashley, always said, "the
Senator from Arkansas" while Mr..
Sewer was always "the Senator from
Ar-kan-saw."
The opinions of the Arkansas people
differed on this subject, as did the
opiuions of the senators. Finally, to
settle the disputation, the General AS
sembly OF 1881 appointed learned and
able committee to investigate the whole
subject. This committee made crit
icaI and exhaustive examination, and,
based upon the report of this commit
tee, the General Assembly unanimous
ly adapted the following resolution
Concurrent resolution declaring the
proper pronunciation of the name OF
the State of Arkansas
"Whereas, confusion of practice has
arisen In the pronunciation OF the
name of our State, and it is deemed
important that the true pronunciation
should be determined for use In oral
official proceedings and,
"Whereas, the matter has been thor
oughly investigated by the State His
toricaI Society of Little Rock, which
have agreed upon the correct pronuncia-
ton, as derived from history and the
early use of the American Immigrants
be 1t, therefore,
"Resolved by both houses of the
General Assembly, That the only true
pronunciation of the name of the State,
in the opinion of this body, is that re-
celved by the French from the native
Indians, and committed to writings in
the French word representing the
sound, and that it should be pronounc-
ed in three syllables, with the final IS
silent, the "a in each syllable with the
/ Italian sound, and the accent on the
first and last syliables, being the pro-
nunciation formerly universally and
now still most commonly used, and
4 that the pronunciation with the &C.
cent on the second syllable, with the
sound of "a in man and the sounding
of the terminal s. Is an innovation to
i be discouraged" March, 1881.
This closed the discussion. Every
body in Arkansas now pronounces the
name of the State s.Ar-kan-saw.
