Paper Matches, Now.

The time-honored scheme of rolling
up piece of paper and using it for
lighter has been utilized by an inventor
in the manufacture of matches. The in
vention promises to revolutionize Eu-
ropean match manufacturing, and it is
perfectly timely, because the wood for
this purpose is constantly growing
scarcer and more costly, says the Ma
tional Druggist of England.
The new matches are considerably
cheaper than wooden matches and
weigh much less-a fact which counts
for much in the expectation. The
sticks of these matches consist of pa
per rolled together on the bias. The
paper is rather strong and porous, and
when immersed in solution of wax,
stearin and similar substances will
easily stick together and burn with a
bright, smokeless and odorless flame.
Strips one inch in width are first
drawn through the combustible mass
spoken of above, and then turned by
machinery into long. thin tubes, pieces
of the ordinary length of wood or wax
matches being cut off automatically
by the machine. When the sticks are
cut to size, they are dipped into the
PHOSPHORUS mass, also by the ma
chine, and the dried head easily ig-
mites by friction on any surface.

Sleep as an Aid to Digestion.

There is ime-honored notion that
a nap after meals promotes digestion,
and, filed with this belief, large
number of persons habitually take a
nap after dinner and think they are
doing precisely the best thing for
their health. There are other good au-
thorities, too, who claim that sleep dur
ing digestion clouds the mind and pre-
disposes those who indulge in it to
apoplexy and stupidity. A French
scientist has made this subject a study,
and by exhaustive experiments has
discovered that sleep does not aid di-
gestion, but rest and horizontal posi-
ton are of great advantage in pro-
noting the proper conditions for per-
feet digestion and assimilation of food.

A British authority says that the

times, the wheel tires five or six times,
and the crank axles three to five

THE CHILDREN WHO SAVED HAMBURG
Hamburg was.besieged. Wolff, the
merchant, returned slowly to his home
one morning. Along with the other
merchants of the city, he had been
helping to defend the walls against the
enemy (; and SO constant was the fight
ing that for whole week he had worn
his armor day and night And now
he thought bitterly that all his fight
ing was useless, for on the morrow
want of food would force them to open
the gates.
AS he passed through his gates, he
noticed that his cherry trees were COW
cred with ripe fruit, so large and juicy
that the very sight was refreshing.
At that moment thought struck him.
He knew how much the enemy was
suffering from thirst. What would
they not give for the fruit that hung
unheeded on the trees of his orchard?
Might he not, by means of his cher
ries, secure safety for his city?
Without moments delay, he put
his plan into practice, for he knew
there was no time to be lost if the city
was to be saved. He gathered to-
gether three hundred of the children
of the city, all dressed in white, and
loaded them with fruit from his or
chard. Then the gates were thrown
open, and they set out on their strange
errand.
When the leader of the army saw
the gates of the city open and the
band of little white robed children
marching out, many of them nearly
hidden by the branches which they
carried, he at once thought it was
some trick by which the towspeople
were trying to deceive him while pre-
pairing for an attack on his camp. AS
the children came nearer, he remem-
bered his cruel vow, and was on the
point of giving orders that they should
all be put to death.
But when he saw the little ones SO
close at hand, SO pale and thin from
want of food. he thought of his own
children at home, and he could hardly
keep back his tears. Then, as his
thirsty, wounded soldiers tasted the
cool, refreshing fruit which the chill
dren had brought them, cheer went
up from the camp, and the general
knew that he as conquered, not by
force of arms, but by the power of
kindness and pity.
When the children returned, the
general sent along with them wagons
laden with food for the starving peo-
pie OF the city, and the next day
signed treaty of peace with those
whom he had vowed to destroy.
For many years afterward. as the
day came round on which this event
took place, it was kept as holiday,
and called "The Feast of the Cher
ries." Large numbers of children in
white robes marched through the
streets, each one bearing q branch
with punches of cherries on it. But
the old writer who tells the story is
careful to say that the children kept
the cherries for themselves.
Every age of the worlds history has
its tales of war and bloodshed and
cruelty, of wild struggles and of great
victories; but nowhere among them
all do we find the story of q more

LITTLE MARsH-RosEMARY.


Little Marsh-Rosemary sat by the road,
When long came a-hopping big hoppy-
toad;
Little Marsh Rosemary shut Eer blue eyes.
She shook and she trembled in fearful sur
prise.
'sLittle Marsh-Rosemary," toady did say,
"Come, open your eyes on this sunshiny
day;
Your eyes are the fairest in all of the town,
And nobody cares though SO poor be your
gown"
Little Marsh Rosemary opened her eyes,
She looked at his face in gladstone sur
prise,
No longer he seemed like an ugly old toad,
Because unto her his kind heart he had
showed.

"Well, don't want kittyl" said
her mother, stepping about quickly
like brisk housekeeper to get her
work done. Anything but cat
underfoot!"
81 want kitty" repeated Carrie
Bell. but as she could not have one
she tried to make much of the little
wooden cat that came in her Noah's
ark. Perhaps she would never have
had better kitty than that if some
thing had not happened.
There was rap on the door, and
when Mrs. Cisco opened it, there stood
a tall, pretty young German woman.
with shawl pinned over her head.
s'Habe you seen mein kittykin?"she
asked anxiously.
"Your what?" asked Mrs. Cisco.
'tMein leetle cat, mein kitty, she
call Minty."
'.No, haven't seen any cat. You'll
catch cold out in that little thin shawl.
Where do you live?"
The woman waved her hand up
toward long hill.
''Mein kitty gone two day!" she
said, the tears springing in her eyes.
81 go all where und no find. I call
'Minty Minty!' und she no come"
"What color is your kitty?" asked
Carrie Bell.
"Minty she gray and white" and
the woman touched her own neck to
show that Minty had white spot on
the neck.
Mrs. Cisco was kind-hearted and
felt sorry for the woman, even though
she herself disliked cats, SO she said:
"Well, if see your kitty anywhere
around TIL catch her and keep her for
you.
The woman frightened and went
away looking hopeful. She came
again that night, and again the next
morning, but Mrs. Cisco had seen
nothing of Minty. During that day,
however, Carrie Bell, who was at the
window, exclaimed:
go, mamma! there's Minty now,
coming into our yard!"
Sure enough, there was kitten by
the fence, gray kitten with white
paws. Mrs. Cisco put milk in sau-
Ger, and going to the door, called:
.sMinty Mintyl''
s'We'll keep her till the woman
comes" said Mrs. Cisco.
Carrie Bell was perfectly happy; she
fed Minty and put her to sleep in a
basket
81 wish she was my kitty!' she
said.
"Oh, no! she's the German woman's
kitty, and she'll come for her before
night, / hope" said Mrs. Cisco.
But as she did not come before night
Mrs. Cisco made a bed for Minty in
the ood-box, and when she came
down next morning she had to laugh
at Minty's delight and loud purr.
Minty was really a clever kitten and
very playful. She made little leaps in
the air for nothing, unless for pure
Joy, and Carrie Bell was in an ecstasy.
All that day the woman did not
come, nor the next day, and Mrs. Cisco
had to keep Minty for fear she would
be lost again. Minty was very frolic-
some and seemed to love her hostess
The third day Mrs. Cisco saw boy
who was going up the long hill, and
told him to tell the German woman
to come for her cat. Carrie Bell
wished her mother had not sent word.
In the twilight the German woman
came smiling into the yard. Mrs.
Cisco opened the door and said:
Here's your Minty!"
The German woman laughed pleas
antly.
ssThat's no mein Minty!' she said.

WILL PROVE A FAILURE AS
"A REVENUE MEASURE.

The Picayune thus sums up the Ding
ley bill as reported by the conference
committee AS a revenue measure the
bill ~is.surely doomed to failure. It is
true thai the sugar schedule will bring
10 a largely increased revenue, but
the other schedule, owing to the pro-
hibitOry character of the duties, will
not tie productive from a revenue
standpoint. The bill is mainly pro-
tective measure, the taxing power cons
ferred by the Constitution being I'M
Scrupulously made use of to enrich a
few people at the expense of the
masses. The sugar schedule is the
n redeemingf feature of the bill, as it
is really the main venue producer.
The duty on sugar is justified in every
way, as the country will need every
cent of revenue which it will produce,
and the very prohibitive character of
the other duties makes the sugar tax
all the more necessary.
The ultimate effect of the new law
is sure to prove a bitter disappoint-
ment to the Republicans. The people
hate increased tax burdens, and every
household in the land will at once feel
the effect of the new law by the en-
HANGED cost of nearly all articles con
sumed. 1t will be remembered that
the Mckinley bill was hardly in force
a few months when ths Republican
party was buried under an avalanche
of votes. The Mckinley bill was a
mild and innocuOus measure compared
with the bill now receiving its finish
ing touches in Washington"
Whatever the ultimate result of the
new tariff law may prove, the adjourn
ment of Congress will have an immedi-
ate beneficial effect upon business.
Relief from the long uncertainty and
anxiety will be promptly shown in the
Quickening of the wheels of commerce
and as crop prospects are excellent,
the improvement is ce rtain to extend
to the coming fall and winter.

Frenzied by jealousy, Justin
Cancienne riddles his wife
with bullets and
Hacks her with a Razor.
He Shoots and Wounds Fernand
Delatte.

Our usually aniet community was
throw into great commotion last Tuea-
day morning by the terrible deed 81
Justin Cancienne who, frenzied by
~iealously, bounced in upon his wife
and shut and hacked her to death.
He put three bullets into her body,
and, then, as if to make assurance
daubly sure, he cut her throat with q
and gashed her body terribly,
The poor victim presented a horrify-
ing sight when he left her. He shot
Fernand Delatte, who was in the
house, and inflicted a wound in the
arm, which is not considered DANCE
rour.
After thus %butchering his wife and
shooting the nan who had aroused
tile demon of jealousy in bis heart,
Justin Caneienne started to surrender
to the officers of the law, telling some
one on his way that he had killed his
wife and Fernand Delatte because he
had found them together.
The tragedy took place about half
past eight o'clock 10 the morning in a
house where the deceased lived, stu
ated on President near Cross.
There are conflicting reports as to
the immediate which led TO the
tragedy, and for that reason we ex-
press no opinion. There seems to
have been some previous misunder-
standing between himself and his
wife, for it is said that he had pre-
v%iously threatened her life.
An inquest wac held over the body
of the unfortunate woman AID the
conclusion was reached that she died
Of gunshot wounds and Of cuts from a
razor at the hands of Justin Cancien-
ne. The accused surrendered and is
now in Jail, awaiting his preliminary
trial.
