81 make point of reading the var
ious articles written on the subject of
marriage, said Minerva, land they
always set me wondering what man
ner of people they must be who look
no further for their authority than
the frivolous gossip of the day, who
never take the trouble to go down into
the heart of nature and the impulses
that govern humanity, to find out why
things are. Now somebody comes
forward and publishes statistics of
marriage in the various cities, and be-
walls the fact that the proportion is in
some places much greater than in
others. Then they sigh and mourn
over it, and really fall to wondering
what we all are coming to. Why
don't these people stop moment and
think that as long as there are young
hearts, moonlight nights, shady cor
ners, and lovers retreats, just SO long
will there be marriages, and plenty of
them The prospect of little home
of ones own is just as alluring as it
ever was, and, everything taken into
consideration, it is not much more diff
ficult to maintain Il family now than it
used to be. There are always foes to
fight, contingencies to provide against,
always chances OF disappointments;
but in the main the sweet old story
gets told with quite as much sentiment
as ever, the good-bys are Just as hard
to say, the welcome just as warm, and
it seems to me that people might be a
great deal better employed than in
worrying over the decadence of matri-
mony.

The statement is made by writer
in the Apotheker Zeitung that a re-
markable kind Of paper is produced in
Cor'a entirely by manual labor and
without the use of machinery. Its
qGality excels hat of the very best
made in China or Japan. The raw
material used for tAis paper is OBJ
taiueG from the bark of Broussonetia
papyrifera, which is collected in the
spring and beaten in water containing
large admixture of wood ashes, until
reduced to thick pulp; this is taken in
large ladies and spread upon frames Of
bamboo, and in this way formed into
thin sheets. Another kind Of paper
is produced from old scraps trodden
into pulp, much in the same way that
grape juice is expressed il some conn
tries-a process of pulping which,
though slow, has the advantage of not
bl leaking the fiber so much as when
machinery is used; then, after the pulp
has been made into paper, the sheets
are piled up to the height of six feet
and cut into pieces, to be again sub
i'cted to the feet stamping the
.me time the roots and seeds of a
plant called "tackpoui" are added,
the soluble parts of which are sup
posed to give tenacity and toughness
to the paper.
"Who knows not, and knows not
that lie knows not, is fool-shun
him, says a well-known Arabian pro-
yeib "Who knows not, and knows
that he knows not, is humble-teach
him. Who knows, but knows not that
he knows, is asleep-wake him. Who
knows, and knows that he knows, is
wise-iollow him.

A New York doctor attributes the
violent thirst whichellicts the majority
of riders to the habit Of breathing
through the mouth while riding. The
vigorous exercise causes all beginners
and many old riders to breathe through
the mouth, with the result that the lips
and throat become dry and parched'
The remedy, OF course, is to keep the
mouth shut.

BELIEVING that the Carnegie and
Bethlehem Steel companies are
trying to embarrass the govern
ment by refusing to make armor
plates for the naval vessels now
building at a reasonable price,
Senator Chandler has introduced
two bills providing that the sec
etary of the navy shall take pos
session of the armor-plants of
those two companies and manufac-
ture the armor plate needed for
the three battle ships now under
construction, and authorizing
those companies to bring suit in
the court of claims for their com
pensation. Representative Can
non, of Illinois, who will be chair
man of the committee on appropri-
ations when it is appointed, was
asked what would be done to meet
the stubborn attitude of the armOr
makers, and he replied: 81 sup
pose we shall have to remove the
limit of cost and allow the contract
ors their blood money. The ships
must be finished, and the armor
must be had. But if [ could have
my way, l do not think any more
armored sea-going vessels would
be built by the United States very
soon."

Bills, bills, bills-nothine but bills

Bills, bills, bills-nothing but bills.
Yesterday being the last day for the
introduction Of bills. the tardy mem
bers and those who had been holding
request bills as long as possible hurled
all sorts and kinds Of measures at the
speakers desk, with the result that at
the close of the evening session last
night the total number introduced had
passed the 1000 mark, and had gone
eleven better.
The flood began in the morning and
kept up during the afternoon, and even
this was not long enough to get
through, for when s o'clock came the
speaker still had a merry little bunch
OF them in his hand unreported and
unreterred. He therefore suggested
an evening session at which there
should be nothing else done, and a
score or more were added to the list.
Inc governors permission is neces
sary for the introduction of anv other
bills, but the big grist sent in yester-
DAY will serve to keep the committees
pussy for time at least, and the even
ing sessions will be found very neces-
sary TO keep anywhere even.

Perhaps the most important feature
and that covering the matter which
has occasioned much Of the present
existing deficiency, is the paragraph
which provides that the reports Of all
boards, commissions, societies and
state institutions shall be published by
the respective officers thereof, out of
appropriations made for the support of
such institutions, after consultation
with the printing commissions, so that
the work may be uniform.
From this paragraph are excepted
the following named institutions, which
will have their reports printed, as now,
by the printing commission; annual re-
port OF the state treasurer and state

biennial reports: Auditor of the state

GETTYSBURG BILL
Goes Through With Only One Dis
SentinG Vote.

The concluding number on the calen-
dar was the Wyman bill to provide for
the fitting dedication of the monument
to the First Minnesota regiment, at
Gettysburg. 1t was this bill which, on
general orders, developed some division
on the choice of a committee of ar
rangements, and also an unlimited
fund of forensic ability of a patriotic
order. 1t was expected that the under
stood unwillingness of Adjt Gen.
Nuremberg to serve would precipitate a
second controversy, as there were sew
eral lists prepared for substitution con-
tanning a variety of combinations The
matter proceeded tamely enough, how
ever. Judge Abbott explained that he
was still opposed to the bill, but at the
request of Senator Wyman he would
offer no further opposition.
Mr.. Johnson, the only man to vote
no on the bill, made brief but sensa-
tional speech which exhibited his antip-
athy to Judge Lochren. Mr.. Johnson
said: I'll never vote for this bill. Judge
Lcchren had crack at me, and now
I've got a chance to take crack at
him. If l could explain to this house
what he has done in my immediate
settlement, it would be enough to make
a rock shed tears. 1 vote no.
The house evidently took no part in
this sentiment, for Mr. Johnson alone

NEW PRINTING SCHEME.
1t Is Aimed to Prevent Further
Large Deficits.


The bills introduced for the purpose
of curing existing conditions, under
which there has arisen a big deficiency
IN the state printing fund, make a
number of radical changes In existing
laws on this subject.
The bills in the first place abolish
entirely the five different classes Of
job work, which include the legisla-
tive printing, the publishing Of execu-
tive documents, the printing of laws in
book form, and ALI other miscellaneous
work. ) is
Instead. it is provided that hereafter
bids will be received on each individual
job,and further that the maximum
rate for which it has been the prac-
tice to quote discounts will be done
away with, and in its place fiat rate
named.
By the bills, the commission, which
is to consist, as now, of the state treas
urer, state auditor and secretary of
state, will be held responsible for all
expenditures made and it is specificaI-
ly prescribed that no printing shall be
ordered unless there is a fund availa-
bic from which to draw the necessary
money. This will have the effect of
cutting off the practice of issuing
vouchers which bear per cent until
the money is paid. The bills will do
away with what is called the state
paper department., in which paper
bought in large quantities and dealt
out to contracting printers doing work
for the state. is at present kept. In
addition to this provision, the bills re-
quire that the Office of the secretary Of
state shall furnish to the other depart
ments only such printed stationery as
is necessary. and that all office supplies
now furnished from this source shall
hereafter be provided from the contin-
