A HAND MADE HEIRLOOM.

| Judge Frederick w. Moore of the
| Supreme Court of Missouri is the poses
sor of an heirloom, in the shape of a watch
that no amount of money would buy.
| The timepiece is of the open face bull's $
| eye pattern. As with all old style watches
| of the pattern mentioned, the outer case
must he removed before it can be wound.
The outer case of this watch is of ham
! mered gold and all the work on IL was
done by hand While this is apparent
from the Workmanship it is further
proved by the date on the inside, which is
1904. There is an inscription on the in
side as follow: "Daniel De St Leu.
Servant to Her Majesty, London" Her
Majesty then was the Queen of George
III, the then reigning King of England.
The authentic history of this valuable
time piece is this: In the years preccd-
ing 1854 William Augustus, Duke of Cum
berfund the second SON of George III, was
the commander of the British armies. In
the Scottish campaign and in the cam
paigns against the Prusslans, and
the Russians and when he was
at the head of the British Hanover
ian and Danish forces of 5000 men,
DIR. Frederick William Schwartze, Han
overian, was on his staff rs surgeon At
the close of the campaign against the
Prussians and the Russians, the Duke had
three watches made like the one Judge
Moore has, and of which it is one The.
watches were presented TO three officers

his esteem. One went 10 DIR. Schwartze.

U. S. Navy PaymaSter Ar
raigned at Newport.
Charge Was Obtaining Money
by False PretenceS.
Probability That the Civil Prosecu-
tion Will Be Dropped.

Paymaster John Corwine, u. S. ", who
left the naval station last Monday and
was apprehended in Chicago two days
later, was brought TO Newport yesterday
afternoon, and waived the reading of
warrant charging him with obtaining
5000 from the First National Bank under
false prctenses. His case was continued
until next Friday, and A. q. Titus gave
$1,000 bonds for his appearance. /.
An officer from the naval station then
demanded the custody of Corwine, in ac-
cordance with the order for his arrest
issued by the secretary Of the navy This
tended 10 complicate matters. II the fed
eral authorities should secure possession OF
Corwine, they would be Obliged to take
him on board ship and confine him in
his stateroom pending the holding Of
court-martial, in which case his bonds
man would be unable to produce him in
the state court
After several hours consideration, the
matter was finally submitted TO Commo-
dore Wallace, who consented not TO con-
test the state court, and the navy depart
ment will, accordingly, await the ending
of the present action. Mr.. Corwine was
accordingly allowed to go to his family.
or the 5000 that he secured from the
bank, all but $50 has been recovered, and
that amount will be made good, SO that
when the case comes up for hearing there
is every indication that the banks charge
will be withdrawn.
Mr.. Corwine's position is most unfor-
tunate, and the deepest sympathy Is felt
for him in all quarters. 1t has been
declared that his trouble is the direct
result of his losses through the dishonesty
of his pay clerk several years ago.
1t is not true that Mr. Corwine took
away his check book. He gave it to his
wife to send to the naval station, but she
failed to do SO.

things he had seen were number of
what he called burying beetles i had
never before heard Of such creatures and
would like to learn something more about
them. Can you enlightcn meY" There
are insects known as bllrylng beetles. A
western professor was led some years ago
10 make observations i'm this connection.
He placed "A dead mole in the garden
where were some beetles, and on morning
of the third day nc found IL buried three
inches under the surface. He saw only
four beetles at work on the job. He ex-
humed the mole and reburied it and i'm
six days f'<nd ii oyerrun with maggots
His conclusion was that the maggots
were the offspring of the burying beetles
and that they had performed the work of
scpulture in order TO provide place for
the deposit of their eggs, where the newly
hatched might find food for their nourish-
ment The same professor made other ex-
periments and observations, even of
closer character, and his summing up was
that in fifty days the four beetles had bur-
led four frogs, three small birds, two fishes
one mole, two grasshoppers, tho entrails
of fish and two morsels of the lungs of

Paper is now made almost exclusively
of wood pulp in this country, and it's
quality is not by any means improved
thereby. The Coreans however are much
ahead of us in the matter OF the quality
OF the paper they turn out. A recent
traveller in that country says the natives
make an excellent kind of paper entirely
by hand, no machinery of any kind
being used. Its quality excels that
of the very best made i'm China or Japan
The raw material used for this paper is
obtained from the bark of the Brousso-
netia papyrifera, which is collected i'm the
spring aud beaten i'm water containing
largc admixturc of wood ashes until re-
duced 60 n thick pulp. This is taken in
large ladies' and spread on frames Of bam-
boo and i'm this way formed into sheets
Another kind of paper is made from old
scraps trodden into pulp, much i'm the
same way that grape juice is expressed i'm
some countries, process of pulping,
which though slow, has the advantage of
not breaking the fiber so much as when
machinery is used. After the pulp has
been made into paper the sheets are piled
up to height of six feet and cut into
pieces, To be again subjected TO the feet
stamping-at the same time the roots and
seeds of "a plant called "tackpoul" are
added, the soluble parts of which are sup
posed to give tenacity and toughness to

the coloring, and don't believe that half
has been done yet Even now the paper
flowers that we can make are miles ahead
of the crude specimens of four or FIVE
years ago. When the flowers to be imita-
ted are somewhat set in appearance, like
lilies, Orchids. hyacinths, paper is better
for the purpose than either silk, gauze or
velvet 1t has a trimness and freshness,
and at the same time a delicate gloss that
no other material has. The paper morn
ing glories as made this season are very
nearly perfect in shape and tint
what first made me go into the paper
business? l made and dressed some paper
dolls for a church fair in Buffalo, my ma
tive town, about six years ago The agent
of a New York paper house saw them
and thought them salable. He told me
what might be done In New York with
knck knacks, and / came on, set up a
business here and found custom. There
was no demand for crepe paper here then,
and the manufacturers made none. At
that time all that was used came from
abroad. When they found that there was
a demand for it, they secured machinery
to make it,"
There is apparently no end to the list of
things that can be made out of crepe
paper. One New York firm has o big
showroom devoted exclusively to the dis
play of articles in this line. over five
hundred persons a week, most of them
women, visit this showroom, and carry
the Ideas gained and the methods learned
there to various parts of the country
Many visit this department every day for
weeks, and take lessons from the opera
tives and decorators with the intention
of starting similar business on their re-
turn to their homes in the west or north
west 1t seems that as household adorn-
ment paper is no longer to be regarded
as a fimsy, eerlshable material of little
Importance, but as having some body and
character Hats made of crepe paper CIV
en- as cotillon favors, are worn through
out the entire summer on the lawns and
piazzas of country houses, and are even
then nearly as good as new.

yet obtained. That the so-calIed native
practitioners of Africa appreciated the
value Of the bile as a remedy Is apparent
from the fact which 1 have discovered by
analysis that serpents' bile enters largely
into the composition of their almost al
ways efficacious remedies for snake bite
snake doctor with high local repu-
tation, when asked to assist in procuring
serpents' gall bladders in order that the
bile might be examined, hesitated and then
exclaimed: 'Oh, they are beginning to
learn too much, being obviously alarmed
lest his practice should be injured.
The interest associated with this action
of bile is probably not restricted to its
effect on venoms. 1t has the same effect
upon many of the poisons of disease. Many
of these poisons, such as those Of lockjaw,
and diphtheria, while VIGOROUSLY active
when present in the blood, are inert when
introduced into the stomach. Even when
circulating in the blood, poisons, in COM
mon with other organic poisons, are prob
ably being constantly forced into the ALI
mentary canal, where they would at once
lose their destructive power by contact
with the bile, and thereby the total effec-
tive quantity of the poison in the body
would be reduced.
Bile is produced in large quantities by
all in the human organism, and it is pres
ent in the intestinal canal throughout it's
whole length; but beyond the fact that it
is an important excretion, removing waste
products from the body, its vastly impor-
tant functions have not hitherto been
known to be of much value. So much is
this the case that a recent writer has re-
marked, THE bile is most elaborate Sc
erection; 1t is poured into the intestine and
finds apparently little to do To such rec
ognized functions as the promotion Of fat
absorption and the laxative and indirect
antiseptic actions there may be added the
additional function of rendering inert
many organic poisons introduced into or
generated in the alimentary canal.
