Making Parchment Paper.

The operation of manufacturing parch-
ment papers such as are used for wrap
ping butter and other similar objects
is very interesting one. Parchment is
produced directly from the raw paper
web in practically one operation. The
sheet to be parchmentized is passed
through sulphuric acid and then through
rollers having uniform action, which
discharge the surplus acid, the expressed
liquid being returned to the tank or
vessel. The paper is then carried and
passed through washing apparatus as
a tank, and also through sprays Of
water, being led and guided by rolls
over which it passes, so that the free
acid is washed off or removed as far as
possible by mechanical washing. The
sheet next passes through bath of soda
solution or alkali and then through
nipPers to express surplus alkali. which
is returned to the bath. Then the paper
is carried through an apparatus to be
further washed with water Next it is
passed through bath of bleaching ma
tsrial, as "bleach" or the like, then
through further washing apparatus,
again passed between presses and
sqaeezed, and then finally it is passed
through bath of glyoerin, after the
passage through which the paper is
woand upon roller or coiled up in a
completed state of parchmentization.- -

Story of Landseer.

Landseer, whose fine stag hunts in
the highlands have been popularized by
engravings, represents one of the most
extraordinary examples of the irresisti-
bleness of the artistic vocation. I have
seen most magnificent dog of his,
chained to his kennel and carried away
by floods. The day when, an absolutely
unknown artist, he exhibited this pic.
ture at the Royal academy it attracted
considerable attention, and gentleman
hurried off to the painters to make an
offer to purchase it. He rang at the
door of the small garden, and, on the
wicket being opened, he saw boy play
ing with hoop with some other little
fellows. He inquired of the children:
"Does Mr.. Landseer live here?"

Making Love Up q Tree.

Billing and cooling among the Fijians
is curious feature in their social GUS
toms. It is decidedly against the rule
to do any courting within DOORS The
gardens or plantations are the spots held
sacred to Cupid, and the generally ap-
proved trysting place of lovers is high
up among the branches of breadfruit
tree.
You may often walk around planta-
tion on a moonlight night and see
couples perched 40 feet from the ground
in the breadfruit trees, one Oh each side
Of the trunk, a position which comes
fairly within the limits of Fijian
maiden's ideas of modesty.

The Pompous Colonel.

The following incident occurred at a
bali in Berlin. A colonel advanced to-
:Yard young lieutenant, who bore on
bis breast as sole decoration 4 large
Badge richly set with diamonds. "Tell
me, young man," be said, "what il
that thing you have got there?" 1T is
an order, my colonel. replied the lieu
Senant. can order!' exclaimed the colo
nal. 1T is not Prussian, then, for I don t
know it," It is all English order, my
colonel" responded the juvenile officer.
"Ah, indeed" said his superior, "who,
for goodness sake, could have given
you such an order?' my grandmother,
my colonel" was the reply. "Your
g1andmother!'' ejaculated the colonel,
bursting out laughing. "What is her
name?" "Her majesty Queen Victoria,
queen of England, - answered the young
lieutenant, who was none other than
Prince Albert of Sleswick-Holstein,
The colonel suddenly disappeared.

First Person Photographed.

It was in 1912 that John Draper, then
professor in the University of New
York, made the first portrait photo
graph. The subject was Elizabeth Dra-
per, his sister. Professor Draper had the
idea that in order to produce distinct
facial outlines in photography it would
be necessary to cover the countenance of
the person photographed with flour.
This seems strange notion now, and it
proved not to be a good one then, for all
of Professor Draper's early attempts
were failures. Finally he left off the
-four and then was quite successful.
This SO delighted him that he sent the
picture to Sir William Herschel, the en-
inent English astronomer Sir William
was in turn delighted and made known
Professor Draper's success to the scien-
tifc men of Europe. He also sent Pro-
fessor Draper a letter of acknowledge
ment and congratulation, which has
been carefully preserved in the archives
of the Draper family.

The OyptAr'a Beard.

Old fashioned cookbooks invariably
order us to "beard the oyster. ~ "1
was quite an experienced housekeeper,
said we'll known cooking. authority,
"before i knew what the beard 53 an
oyster was: 1t is. I believe; the: little
frill. :, -, i
1.-The question then occurred, Why
should this portion be removed? With
our American oyster there is no occa-
sion to remove it, and we never do it. -
No doubt many, a new housekeeper
has felt sguilty:of omitting to do some-
thing that should be done when she
served her husband oysters with their
"beards'' on. She, felt doubly guilty
when he praised them and declared they
were the best oysters he had ever eaten.
Probably she kept the secret until she
consulted some old housekeeper, who
promptly told her she didn know what
the beard of all oyster was, and that GER
tainly no one nowadays ever removes it.
This expression is generally found in
old English works of the order of the
Complete British Housewife It is prob
able that this portion Of the oysters of
Great Britain is especially tinctured
with their coppery favor and was for
merly removed. Certainly no one today
who eats his oysters at Delmonico's or
at any famous restaurant finds the frill
or any portion of the mollusk, except
the shell, missing.

Artists Failures.

''Do not, let me beg of you, be afraid
Of SO called failures, said well known
artist addressing his class. "They are
only stepping stones to success, the
premiums we all must pay for expert
ence. I may say, without vanity, that /
have been fairly successful in my pro-
fession, and yet to'one canvas that sue
ceeded there have been as many as 40
which l have scraped down with my
palette knife in disgust. Even if a STU
dent never succeeds, his very failures
may be noble.''
1t is not only to art that this exhorta-
tion might apply. In every career, in
every walk in life. the same point of
view should be taken Failures are not
failures really-they are lessons; they
are stepping stones. They should not be
associated for moment with despond-
ency or horelessness. Just as child
tumbles and picks himself up as a mat
ter of course and runs gayly on, SO
should we children of larger growth
regard the ups and downs Of life, never
hsing courage, however often we tum-
BE. Young people especially should be
Taught that it is not always success
% succeed and that disappointments
@hould be taken philosophically The

The Search For Truth.

In the search for truth no aid is so
effective as the ever ready spirit of &C.
tivity. He who postpones putting what
he knows into practice until he knows
more will find his journey long and
9iscouraging one. Carlyle we'll says:
"Conviction, were it never SO excellent,
is worthless till it converts itself into
conduct Nay, properly conviction is
not possible till then, inasmuch as all
speculation is by nature endless and
formless. Most true is it, as wise man
teaches us, that, Doubt of any sort CAN
not be removed except by action On
which ground, too, let him who gropes
painfully in darkness or uncertain light
and prays vehemently that the dawn
may ripen into day, lay this other pre-
cept we'll to heart, which to me was of
invaluable service, DO the duty which
lies nearest to thee, which thou know
est to be duty. The second duty will
already have become clearer.'

Adam Knew the Flood Was Coming

An apocryphal book called the LESS
or Genesis and we'll known to the
carly Christian fathers tells a wonder
ful incident in the life of Seth. the third
SOB of Adam and Eve. When the goodly
Seth was about 40 years Of age, he was
"rapt' up into heaven by trio of an
gels and there told and shown what was
in store for mankind. Among other
things, the coming of the great deluge
was made known to him, as was also
the coming of the Saviour. When he re-
turned to earth, Seth told his parents
what had happened and of what he had
seen and heard concerning the future
Of the human race. "And Adam was
much grieved when it was made known
to him that the world would be de-
stroyed by water G: >,> count of the
wickedness of his OWL children, but a
great peace and calmness came over him
when Seth told how the face of the
earth would again be repeopled. ~
His joy was exceedingly great when
Seth related what was in store in the
coming ages, and he was particularly
glad to know that redemption should
finally come through Jesus, the Christ. {"

Where Hotel Men Draw q Line,

Among annoyances to which hotels
are subjected is one which means ma
terial loss at busy times This is when
a person telegraphs or writes for rooms
to be reserved and upon arriving in
town decides to go to another hotel.
Very. frequently rooms which could
have been given to guests are vacant
on account of this, and the careless ho-
tel patrons appear to be unaware that
they have inflicted any injury on the
house. Sometimes, however, when a
clerk calls upon them with a bill for
the rooms that they didn't occupy they
are open to conviction of wrongdoing
and settle the bill. The matter has rare
~ been one of litigation. but the hotel
man has the best end Of it, and the pro-
prietors' national association intends to
make it SO understood whenever it is
necessary. Hotel Gazette.

Cruel, but Necessary.

The Eskimos dread the winter and
take early precautions 70 provide against
famine. AS the season approaches the
great herds of reindeer migrate south
ward, and the walrus or the seal are
all that remain for food.
When all in wind is blowing, the wal
rus is easily found on the outer edge of
the ice packs. When it is blowing off
the shore, however, the ice packs sail
out to sea with the walruses on them.
The natives then class their numbers in
list from the strongest to the weakest.
The food that is in store is divided up,
the weakest having the smallest quan-
tity, the strongest the largest. Thus the
mightiest hunters have strength to pro-
vide for the others.
1t is cruel system, but, nevertheless,
a necessary one. If all were weak, all
would die; if some are strong, they will
save many of the weak.

g Diseases Of Miners.

AS to whether there are any diseases
peculiar to the miners calling there is
evidence that, with one, or perhaps two,
exceptions, there are. none SUCH These
exceptions are an affection of the eye,
termed "nystagmus, and. in a lesser
degree, that disease of the respiratory
organs which usually goes by the name
OF miners asthma. Nystagmus, al:
though not a prevalent affection, is one
with well marked symptoms directly
naceable to the posture of the collier
while at work.
The symptoms are oscillation with
moro or less Of a rolling motion of the
eyeballs, giddiness, with headache, and
the appearance Of objects moving in a
circle, or lights dancing before the eyes
In severe cases the person affected
may stumble and be SO much incon-
venienced as to be obliged to stop work.
DR.. Simeon Smell Of Sheffield has given
this disease special attention for about
20 years and has published the results
OF his Investigations, which show be-
yond all reasonable doubt that nystag-
mus is confined almost entirely to those
underground workmen who are engaged
in holing OF underwriting the coal, and
is due to the miners habit of looking
upward above the horizontal line OF
vision, and more Or less obliquely while
at work lying on his side. It has been
observed also in fremen and others who
have occasion frequently to examine
the roof, turning the eyes obliquely
while doing SO. Any other occupation
in which the person may habitually
turn the eyes upward and sideways will
induce nystagmus.- Trade Jour.

Enormous Lifting Power.

The shelless limpet pulls 1884 times
it's own weight when in the air and
about double when measured in the wa
ter. Fleas pull 1,493 times their own
dead weight. The Mediterranean cookie,
Venus verrucosa, can exert a pulling
power equal to 2,071 times the weight
of it's own body. So great is the power
possessed by the oyster that to open it a
force equal to 1,319.5 times the weight
Of it's shelless body is required. If the
human being possessed strength as great
in proportion as that Of these shellfish,
the average man would be able to lift
the enormous weight of 2,976, 900
pounds, pulling in the same degree as
the limpet. And if the man pulled in
the same proportionate degree as the
cookie he would sustain weight of no
less than 8, LOG, 500 pounds. s.-Worthing-

Bits Of Wisdom.

A wise woman will have her husband
10 well trained that when: she tells him
thing once it will be enough. Men
hate to have a thing 'dingdonged into
them. - as: some Of them elegantly ex-
press it. I am a very even tempered
man, but i think my self praise would
suffer a sev,1e shock if my wife told me
to order a barrel of -four when we first
got up in the morning and then repeat
ed the command six times at the break
fast table, twice while l was putting on
my overcoat and gloves and then fol-
lowed me to the gate to scream it out
after me as fturned the corner. Men
hate that sort Of nagging.
A wise man will not tell his wife any
lies, not even little white ones. If he
must lie, he will be safer and wiser if
he lies to some one less likely to uncov-
er his duplicity. A wife is a regular
ferret in matter of this kind. never
told mine a harmless little fb in my
life that she didn't expose me before the
sun went down. It is wonderful what
clever intuition women have in this di-
rection. 1t is dumfounding to men who
are not always absolutely truthful. The
best of husbands often feel that there
are things they won't "bother wife
with" little complications in their
business affairs or little extravagant ex-
penditures in the way Of hotel dinner
or some other little harmless affair of
which they would just little rather
not speak or in regard to which they
may equivocate. But they'd better tell
the truth and hold to it. It is always
best in the end, as men find out the
older they grow. + have found it out
with, trust, most of the years of my
life still before me.-Zenas Dane.

Wrong Conclusion.

The Canadian Gazette tells an anus
ing story Of one who was too quick at
drawing an inference. 1t happened that
Glasgow professor who was visiting
Canada with the British association in
1884 was desirous of seeing something
OF northwestern life, and for this pur-
pose repaired to an Alberta ranch.
fixed him up as we'll as I could, the
rancher says, but he complained that
he did not like sleeping with his clothes
on. So after the first night I stretched
a cowskin across the shack and told
him he might undress if he liked. He
took off most of his garments and put
on long white nightdress. In the
morning my foreman came in while the
gentleman was still sleeping. Observ-
ing the white nightdress, he said in a
whisper:
''Rather sudden, eh?''
"What?" I asked.
"The death of the old man."
Hes not dead; he's asleep" I ex-
planned.
"Then what's he wearin them billed
clothes for?" was the reply. "Neve1
saw chap laid out in billed clothes
afore 'cept he were dead."

"Three weeks" was the ready an
sWer.
'Ah, then," said his holiness, ''you
have seen Rome. And low long have
you been here?" asked he, turning to

''Three months,'' was the answer.
'You, then," continued the pope,
"have begun to see Rome. And you,
SIR" turning finally to the third Of his
visitors, chow long have you been
here?''
''Three years." was the reply.
"Then you,' said the pope, shave

Gilded Beauties.

The eastern women, especially those
in Turkey, paint their eyebrows with
gilt paint, and at night the effect is
very brilliant and oriental. When, by
chance, Chinese girl has eyes that are
not quite SO slanting as usual, she can
safely lay claim to special beauty.
Many Japanese women gild their teeth,
while the beauties of the Indies stain
theirs brilliant red. Some Of the Afri-
cans stain their teeth jet black. Per.
sian women pencil the outer corners of
their eyes to make them look almond
shaped, which is considered an especial
mark OF beauty. The women in many
oriental countries die their finger nails
with henna; others let them grow to an
enormous length.
